Now that the Senatorial election
is over, and the Republicans have
been beaten by the foolhardiness and
obstinacy of some of the members
of their own party, we would advise
them to be more careful, watchful
and solicitous in the consideration Of
other matters that are of great in
terest and Importance to the State.
They owe their present strength in
the lower house to the firm stand
they took in regard to the State
debt. They were the only candi-
dates before the people who, pledged
themselves to vote for a just and
legal settlement Of the debt. The
better class of Democrats, or so>
called State credit Democrats, sim
ply proposed paying it on the basis
of an agreement which had been
accepted by some Of the States
creditors, involving reduction of
more than half tie principal. To
tell the truth, thase nominal State
credit Demo rats have never in
tended to perfect and consummate
Just and proper settlement with the
bondhoIders. Their movements in
the present legislature show very
plainly that they have only taken
advantage of the State debt issue in
order to secure the spoils of Office,
and satisfy their own avaricious long
ings. their greed Of gain, to some
extent at least, at the expense of
the people, without accomplishing
or doing anything for the benefit
and advancement Of their eonstitu-
ents. The stand taken by the Re-
publicans for absolute honesty Sc
cured for them the support Of many
of the best Democrats who coult
not endure the idea of the State re
pudiating its obligations. But it di(
not secure them complete control 0
the legislature, and they are de
pendent, to great extent, on Dem
ocratic votes to enable them to carr,
out any project they may have il
view. Unless they receive a heart
Democratic support, Tennessee
debt will still have to remain un
settled and the dark poll of repudis
ton still hang over her, and obscur
the sun Of honesty that behind th
clouds still is shining, and ready
burst forth in all its splendor, glor
and magnifcence, and food th
State with success and prosperit
never before known, when its leg
islators say the word.
There seems to be an idea prevs
lent that the Republican party Ca
gain more by keeping open the Ii
sue which now divides the Demo
Gratis, than by closing it by settl'
ment Of the States indebtedness
Of course if such an idea could I
carried into effect, We would adv

and betterment of the State depen'
on the advancement of the Repu
lican party; the party of live issu
and not dead. But our advice to Il
Republicans is to step upon no u
certain ground; to look well befo
they leap. 1t is our honest opinit
and conviction that it is better, if
is possible, to settle this Strife de
question now, and put an end to al
further controversy on the subje'
IF no sediment can be agreed up

0BERLY'S BOOM.

Hon. Jon. II. Oberlys boom for the in.
auguration Of a new democratic daily
newspaper in Bloomington, was started
last Saturday. 1t was Andrew Jackson's
Day-the 9Th of January-and, therefore,
deemed a favorable time for such an I'M
dertaking. The faithful" came together
in force from all parts Of Mclean county,
perfected their organization, elected Mr..
John II. Oberly director, editor and mana
ger, listened to one of his thoroughly pre-.
pared eXtemporaneous speeches, and then
five hundred of them, sat down to grand
banquet to which they are reported to
have done substantial justice. 1t was turn-
ished by the ladies Of Bloomington, and
was probably the first square meal most
OF them had partaken Of in decade.
After this was concluded the doctors were
consulted and the opinion expressed that,
according to the natural order of things,
the accouchment of the promised journal
istic infant should take place about the
first of February, and public expectation
was advertised to be on tip,toe tor the great
event about that time.
Bloomington is rich and growing city,
Mclean, populous county, Mr.. Oberly, a
talented and experienced journalist, and
the democracy of Illinois in need of an
organ; everything would, therefore, seem
to be favorable to the success of this one,
and we express for it, in advance, our very
best wishes.

preparing the numerous toothsome articles
with which they so elegantly spread the
large tables for the benefit of their guests
upon occasions such as was enjoyed by
large crowd at the hall Yesterday evening.
The police bcsiness was quite dull yes
terday-the offenders beng few and Tar be-
tween. The only case disposed of was that
of a coored woman in Judge Omsted's
court. She was charged with disorderly con-
duct and was brought before his honor on
change of venue from Squire Osborn. The
charge was sustained, and the prisoner
fined five dollars and costs.
Cairo is city. 1t is not town nor a
village. 1t has outlived and thrown aside
the attire of childhood and youth and
donned the fashionable attire of the full
fledged able bodied gentleman. 1t stands
six feet high in its stocking feet and, as it
elevates its eyebrows with dignafed mien,
casts sideong and contemptious glance
at such villages as Paducah and smaller
places which says: ~ am somebody-what
are your" Improvements are no sooner
thought of than made. In short,its course is
forewards-not backwards. This being so,
it will not surprise our readers that we are
about to have club-inot a religious
nor literary cub-but club,
the object of which is social enjoyment
where our young men can quietly meet,
smoke their cigar, reading their newspa-
pers, or spend an hour or two in pleasant
chat without interruption and without
coming in contact with those whose COM
pany is not agreeable. The club is not yet
thing Of the present, but Of the near
future. Rooms have been secured in the
second story OF the White building, on the
corner of Sixth street and Ohio Levee,
which, after being handsomely furnished,
will be occupied until more central and
agreeable rooms can be obtained. We sug-
gest that at its first meeting the club pass
series of resolutions, condemning the tele-
phone and pronouncing it too expensive
luxury tor use in their rooms.

OF THE CITY.

The Paragraph and Daily Leader, two
republican journals published at Bloom
ington, devote considerable amount of
space to an account Of democratic love
feast held in that city, in the interest of the
prospective democratic daily, on the an.
niversary Of General Jackson's victory at
New Orleans. After mentioning the charm
ing weather and various other causes
which conspired to make the day fatter-
ing success, the Leader says
AS is we'll known to all of our readers,
the Democratic citizens of Mclean county
are about to launch upon the turbulent
journalistic sea, new craft representing
the views Of that time honored party. The
nucleus OF the movement was formed by
the ladies, and it remained for them to IN.
troduce the child to the world with proper
eclat The amount of stock mentioned in
the charter, VIZ, 100000, having been sub
scribed and Hon, J, II. Oberly chosen as
manager and editor, it was thought expedi.
ent to thoroughly organize and get the ma
chine in running order. To-day being the
anniversary Of the battle Of New Orleans,
in which that great exponent of simon pure
democracy, Andrew Jackson, so dlstln-
guished himself it was thought fitting
that this should be the occasion of the for
nal manning Of the new ship.
The early morning trains brought in

fected by the selection of DR.. r. p. Rogers
as chairman, and ]. 0. Pullen, secretary
The first business to come before the meet.
ing was the choice of board Of directors.
After an animated discussion, 1t was de-
cided to have the board consist of eleven
men. The city stockholders desired to
have only five or seven, but the hllers of
the virgin soil wanted larger representa-.
ton and carried their point by shouting
louder when the vote was called.
Nominations being in order, the follow.

When he wants to know how outsid-

for himself.
Secular newspapers denouncs him
and make all kinds of ili-natured sport
at his expense. Divines belabor him,
and drag him through their courts,
and subject him to all kinds Of sancti-
monious malice; but when they can go
no:farther, the Doctor comes up smiling,
and expressing the hope that after he
shall have been in Heaven few years,
he will be able to be comfortable in the

Manufacturing in Missouri.

Mechanical industry Is making some
progress in Missouri, and we are glad
to chronicle movements among citizens
for'the establishment of various kinds
of manufactures in certain quarters.
But not half enough has been done IN
this direction. The admirable nature
of our agricultural Advantageous
fertile soil, our deep, rich river bottoms
where seventy to eighty bushels of corn
are yielded, with reasonable cultiva-
ton; our uplands 30 perfectly adapted
to small grain; our abundant supply
Of running water and rich pasturage
that make sheep-raising and cattle
raising 30 easy-these have occupied
the attention Of our people and caused
them to look to agriculture as almost
are hundred towns in the State that
ought to be and might be seats of pros
porous manufactures. We do not refer
to that kind of manufacturing that de-
mands large capital and costly machin-
cry, such as cotton mills, woollen mills,
rolling mills and prints works; we speak
of the smaller industries which require
patient industry rather than capital
cooperage, broom-making, wagon-mak-
ing, handle factories and manufacture
of agricultural implements. Why
should the Studebackers, Of Indiana,
supply Missouri with wagons when
equally good wagons can be made, ut
equally low prices, at twenty points in
the State? Why should the cities and
large towns of Missouri import hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars worth Of
creamery butter from Illinois and Iowa,
when we have all the conditions for
profitable creamery establishments in
Northern and Central Missouri. Why
should we import reapers, mowers,
harvesters, separatOrs and even plOws
from Ohio and Illinois, instead of max
ing them of Missouri wood and iron?
There are several places in Southeast
Missouri where barytes, ochre and 9TH
or valuable earths and minerals for the
manufacture Of pigments are to be
found in exhaustless quantities; there
are many sites in Southwest Missouri
where abundant water power for small
factories is to be had for almost moth
ing; and there are places, both in North
east aud Northwest Missouri quite as
suita BILE for the manufacture Of farming
machinery and implements as Peoria,
in Illinois, or Akron, o. 1t will be said
but this is a delusion. Large amounts
of capital are not needed to establish
those small industries in which all sue
cessful manufactures have their Begin
ming. A little money-in some cases
five or ten thousand dollars, backed
with patient labor and economical
management, will do the business.
Industry makes its own capital. and
almost any small manufacturing BUSH
ness, if properly conducted, may be
made to expand year by year by it's
swn actions, till it grows into . large
and profitable interest.-St. Louis Re-

On the National Bank question, we
are greenbacker. The Government
as the matter now stands, is really re.
sponsible for the National Bank issues,
and we don't see why it should not is
sue it's own notes, and receive whatev-
er benefits may accrue therefrom. We
are aware that there are to this, as to
all other questions, two sides; but the
necessity for National Banks has new
or yet been sufficiently explained to
the people.
