Sons OF LINCOLN AND DOUGLAS
Several journals have noted the fact that
the son of Abraham Lincoln and the son
of Stephen A. Douglas are now both in
Chicago practicing law, and it has been
suggested that Illinois may at an early
day witness another great struggle in
which the names of Lincoln and Doug
las will be most conspicuous, rs was the
case i.i 1859, and again in 1860. Those
who have predicted such a battle. evil
IDENTIFY have little knowledge of the two
young men who now represent the two
greatest names known in the contests of
Illinois. There will be no political bat
tie between young Lincoln and young
Douglas for several reasons. In the first
place, they are both Republicans, and,
therefore not political antagonists. In
the second place, young Douglas has been
too much Of politician and young lin
coin too little Of politician to g it
at all probable that either will approach
the fame of his father rs q political
leader. Douglas was unfortunate in
getting into politics as carpet Dagger
in North Carolina; was Speaker of the
House during Holden's disgraceful ad-
ministration, and he has an unwelcome
flavor about him for the people of the
West. Lincoln has much OF his fathers
ability, without his love for politics, and
he has studiedly refrained from all prom
inence in political movements, and de-
clined all proffers of political advance
ment. Douglas has his fathers taste for
partisan battles, but lacks both his ag-
gressive ability and his devoted friends.
Lincoln could rally the mass of those
who revere his fathers memory, but he
wisely applies himself to his profession
and rejects all ideas of political distinc-
ton. 1t is quito improbable, therefore,
that the future political disputes of ILL,
nois will make the names Of Lincoln and
Douglas famous.-P Philadelphia Times.

State Lands.

The legislature is preparing to give the State lands to the counties in which they lie. This we think is very wrong move. We recollect before the war how the school lands and the proceeds thereof were dis posed of to the great disadvantage of the interests of the children that should have been benefited. No one expected a man that borrowed money of the common school com. missioner to return 1t with interest," always some why's and wherefores to prevent its collection-and the land and the money was all lost that belonged to the county that could be reached by sharpeas. We shall be surprised if the counties make anything out of these lands.- Fort Smith Elevator.
 No State in the Union has ever had more magnificent landed bequests than Arkansas, and none has made so little out of them. The prodigal son was not greater prohigate in the management of his estate than the State of Arkansas. It makes little difference now as to what dis position we make of the lands that are left; one tmng IS certain there will be little profit from the proceeds of their sale. If the State could do nate the last acre to settlers who would make homes and deyelope the resources of the State and add to it's wealth and prosperity. it would be q great gain. The State, as a land speculator is conspicuous as fail ure.-L. k, Democrat.

Helping a Town.

From the sherburne County Star.
One good way to help along town
(backwards), and the merchants in it
is to run big accounts at the stores
and then, when you get little cash
go of down below somewhere and lay
in stock Of groceries, dry goods
clothing, &c., and when you return
brag about how much cheaper you can
do trading below, than you can Of ou1
home merchants. Don't for a mo-
ment think Of paying your store bills
The merchants don't need any money
to carry on business with. That is
one way to help town, but it is a
very poor land will help it into
bankruptcy about as quick as any
thing we know of. There are people
in Elk River who pursue that course
and then growl because the town don''

is that the Democratic party has tax

1t for it but they regard the action
of the Democrats in Congress in rela>
ton to troops at the polls and to SUI

rights that led to secession ; in short,
that it is a new manifestation of the

While an auctioneer was selling
some Cincinnati top buggies at Des
Moines, he stepped through the bot
tom of one Of them, skinned his leg
clear up to the gambrel joint, and a
farmer who tried to get into one, had
his ankle sprained by the step that he
put his foot on dropping off. These
two accidents broke up the sale Of
cheap buggies, and those who had
bought them before used them for
places for hens to roost. There have
been a great many of those cheap Gin.
cinnati buggies sold throughout the
Northwest, but they are dangerous to
ride in. IF you want buggy go to
square dealer who will not give you
