We heard a Western village praised

which the town and its environs con-

which six gamblers were hung at one
and the same time. There was a "hard
set out looking at the tree when l
reached it. 1t was covered, lower
limbs and all, with handbills. One was
of cock fight, which was to take place
that night another Of "bull-dog
match" that afternoon; and third Of II
"sparring mill' that was to come off
between two professors of the manly
art of self-defense." l noticed at the
tavern, where | put up" glass jar
on shelf over the fireplace, which con-
tanned what | took, at the first glance,
to be couple of pieces Of preserved
lemon or orange peel. what is that
in that jar, landlord" l asked "A
couple of ears that We're cut off in this
very room, by two cowardly rascals,
more than year ago; and there they
shall stay till the scoundrels see 'em.
They can't disguise themselves SO that

1t IS time this great subject should be
come more generally understood by the
people. Laws for the improvement Of our
two great western rivers will do more to
prevent railroad extorton in freights than
all the laws that will ever be enacted by
state legislatures on that subject These
great natural channels of commerce only
need to be taken care OF and improved, in
order to make them such competitors Of
the railroads as will compel the railroads
to reduce their freight tariffs, or reinquish
the carrying Of all products raised near to
the rivers.

THE USELESS THIRD PARTY.
Bloomington Bulletin.

Bloomington Bulletin.
There is but one vita public question.
(The politicians mayattempt to retire. it
but their attempts will all be vain,J upon
which issue can be made at this time.
The Republican orator and editor may
wave the bloody shirt, and cry: 10! this
emblem Of democratic disagreement '
The cry will avail them nothing. The
preaching men and the hymn-singng and
praying women will reply: That is of the
past. The question is: Shall bluelawism
again become dominant Personal liberty
is question now at issue here at home.
Let the south take care of itself"
The Republican orator will cry aloud /;
"The grand old party abolished slavery.
Save it nOwn To which the preaching
men and singing and praying women will
reply: "Let 1t be as brave now as it WAS in
the days of SUMNER, WENDELL, PHILLIPs
OLD JOHN BRowN and GARRISON, Let il
attack the liquor traffic." And the Demo.
Gratis will reply: The Republican party
was always political hypocrite, and it Is
to-day. Before the war it took off its hat
to slavery in the states, and was nullitica-
ton and secession party-a disunion party.
1t became An anti-slavery party when war
compelled it to be, and it grew to love
the union when it could not disrupt it.
1t is now coward. 1t dare not take
position on the liquor question. Where
does it stand3 Is it for Prohibition CT
srninst Prohibitions"
To all the war cries of the Republican
party, the Temperance party cries: "Pro-
hbitionm And the Democrats shout
"Anti.prohibition"
Say what you please the issue of the
pending political battle is; Prohibition
or icensen
The Temperance party declares: ~ am
for prohibitionw
The Democratic party declares 81 am
opposed to prohibition."
The Republican party declares; 81
want time to think. | have no opinion
yet upon the temperance question. Wait.
And always remember that | saved the
Union; that the Democrats fired upon the
flag; thatno ballot that is not Repub.
lcan ballot is free ballot. l am not in
favor of prohibition am not in favor of
the liquor license system. | am neutral
on that question. But am always for the
old flag and new appropriation.
So here is the case:
/. The Temperance party in favor OF
prohibition.
2. The Democratic party opposed to
prohibition.
3. The Republican party:-neither in
favor of nor opposed to prohibition.
The Republican party has no place in
the pending canvass in Illinois. 1t is the
useless third party, which Republican
orators and writers have been of late so
earnestly denouncing. 1t should be retired,

CONGRESSMAN THOMAS has only been in
his district for few days during the pres
ent year, and he has not had time to an
swer the charges that have been made
against him by his party-friends. Of course
he will answer them in some way. They
charge him with untruthfulness in the
matter of Dr.. Holidays appointment and
with deception OF his friends, and fraud in
his nomination. Democrats charge him
with inefficiency and unfaithfulness to his
constituents. They charge him with being
more a representative of eastern interests
than of the wants of his district. The peo-
pie want to hear what he has to say in
answer to these charges.

RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

The improvement of the Mississippi
river is a subject of national Importance.
Every man who desires the early and full
developement of the great interior states
should labor on all proper occasions to
bring about the improvement of this great
inland sea. Every farmer, who lives
within a hundred miles of either the Mis-
sissippl or Ohio, is interested in river i'm
provement, if he expects to have grain, or
hay, or potatoes, or apples, or
any other farm product for market, 1t is
question that rises above party. No man
should be allowed politically to stand in
the way of an enterprise so full of prom
ised good to the people. The money
granted by congress in the law passed two
years ago, is now beginning to bring forth
fruits; and the recent liberal appropriation
by congress renders it certain that the i'm
provement of the western rivers has be-
come a national policy.
1t is a statement, safely within the limits
of truth, that every bushel of wheat raised
in Illinois is rendered worth five cents
more by reason of safe navigation of the
Mississippi. And there is no reason why
wheat may not be worth as much at Cairo
as at the seaboerd, If the channel of the
Mississippi was so deepened that sea-gong
vessels could load at the wharf of Cairo for
Liverpool and other foreign ports.

MALARIA

Malaria is an almost in
describable malady which
not even the most talented
physicians are able to faith
ON. Its cause is most fire.
quently ascribed to local
surroundings, and there is
very little question, but this
opinion is substantiated by
facts. Malaria does not nee
essarily mean chills and
fever while these troubles
usually accompany it. It
often affects the sufferer with
general lassitude, accom-
panied by loss Of appetite,
sleeplessness, a tired feeling
and a high fever, the per-
son afflicted growing weak
or and weaker, loses flesh
day after day, until he be-
comes a mere skeleton, a
shadow Of his former self.
Malaria once having laid lis
hold upon the human frame, the
door Of the system Is thrown open
TO nervous diseases The body
weak and enfeebled absorbs no
nourshment, but subsisting upon
itself, the digestive organs no
longer perform their functions;
the liver becomes torpid, and other
organs failing to do their routine
work, speedily become disorderod,
and dissolution and death are apt
10 ensue.
In addition to being a certain cure
for malaria and chills and fever,
Browns IRON BITTERs is highly
recommended for all diseases requir.
ing a certain and efficient tonic; es-
peciallyindigestion, dyspepsia, inter-
mittent fevers, want of appetite, loss
OF strength, lack of energy, etc.

muscles, and gives new life to the
