To the Editor Of THE EVENING Star:
Another brief visit to the mountains OF West
Virginia assures US Of the joyful fact that there
10 no abatement Of interest In the relipious
awakening in Mineral county. So powerfully
has conviction Of sin taken its hold upon the
people Of that district that little persuasion is
required to induce the unconverted to seek for
eiveness for sins and obtain the assurance Of
Divine favor.
At Keyser the work was much stimulated and
encouraged by tho presence Of Miss Jennie
Smith at the NJ. e. church on Thursday night
It Ia q mystery to those who have no expert
mental knowledge OF the Psalmist's condition
when he said, cit Is God that girdeth me with
strength and maketh my way perfect" how
the delicate constitution Of Miss Smith survives
the fatigue that her ceaseless labors impose.
Day after day and month after month, from
nothing else but the salvation Of the souls of
their fellow beings, Miss Smith and her sister
iniabor, Miss Sherman, pursue their Network
with an unWavering confidence In the Divine
source OF their strength that enables them
to exclaim with Paul. ~ can do sn

ard; county clerk, G. l.. Taylor; probate
clerk, VIM. A. Youmsns; coroner, Dr. C..
o. COPYRIGHT; county superintendent of
schools, Miss LYDIA Strawn.
These candidates stand on the following
platform, promulgated by the same con-
yention as their confession of faith"
WHEREAS, The manufacture ana sale Of
intoxicants IS beverage are crimes
against God and crime and sin against
man which no human enactment nor usage
can make right, and that Christianity,
humanity and patriotism demand there
abolition; therefore
Reso1red, That any political organization
IN existence asking the suffrage of the peo.
pie, without moral courage 10 tell the
truth and to put in issue the paramount
needs Of the times, brands itself as un-
worthy of public confidence.
Resoired, That the manufacture and sale
Of intoXicsiing liquors as a beverage Is
not only in violation of every principle of
morality and subversive Of all the interests
Of good government, but that 1t is IN viola
ton of the fundamental principles Of poll
teal economy; that 1t is a magnificent
system of waste and wrong against God
and man, and that the people ought to
stamp II out of political existence.
Rosolued, That the Prohibitionists OF La
Sale county, believing IN the theory that
the people are the source OF all power and
have a right to determine what shall be
the fundamental law Of the state, are in
favor Of the submission Of An amendment
to the constitution of Illinois prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors as beverage, TO the end that the
legal voters OF the state may have all OPP
portunity Of settling the question Of prohi-
bition according to the wishes Of the

sentatives of this district are hereby re-
Quested to favor the introduction of meas.
ures looking to the submission OF such an
amendment to the people for their adop'
ton or rejection.
Resolred, That we favor the universal
and enforced education OF the youth of the
nation, with ample provision for the sup
port of an adequate and efficient system Of
free pubic schools in all the states and ter.
ritorles.
ResOlred, That we protest against putting
aside the revenue on intoxicants tor school
purposes, and arraign 1t as a measure CAL
culated to perpetuate the liquor traffic In

THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL Con.
vBNTIoN of the Sth Illinois district met In
the Opera House IN Ottawa at 12 o'clock
on Wednesday, full delegations being In
attendance f.om the five counties consti-
tutlng the district,
Hon. r. A. Childs, of Du Page, was
called to the chair; and Il. NJ. Woods
OF Will and Dr. Hand of Grundy were
appointed secretaries.
There being ne other business, Mr..
Blanchard moved to proceed to the nomi-
nation Of candidate tor congress, and
presented the name OF William Cullen
The chairman of the Will county delega-
ton seconded the nomination and proposed
that 1t be made by reclamation. A Du
Page delegate moved that it be done by q
rising vote, which was agreed to, and
thereupon William Cullen was nominated
unanimously, by reclamation, by rising
vote.
A committee was appointed to inform
Mr.. Cullen of the fact and fetch him into
the convention; and as he was not far off
he soon came up smiling, and made the
little speech he had carefully conned for
the occasion.
A congressional district central commit.
tee was appointed, and then the convention
adjourned.

AS will be seen IN the proceedings of
the supervisors, Mr.. Gilbert urged more
care in the selection of jurors. This Is an
opportune subject. No one outside the court
house can appreciate the carelessness or
something else that is apparent to those
inside. Even among the selections made
on Thursday, Immediately after the sub
ject had been discussed, the name of one
man was suggested as grand juror who
if indeed alive must at this day be over 30
years of agei AT a recent term OF court
we had occasion to look over venire re-
turned by the sheriff. His notes on the
margin showed one man dead for at least
ten years, several others had left the state
from one to FIVE years ago, and others were
marked mot found" whose residences had
been changed IN the county. All these
missing ones, as Mr.. Gilbert suggested, are
a bill of useless expense, part, ut least, of
which could be avoided.
Charles Blanchard says that he has not
been, is not, and will not be'a candidate
for county judge.

For representative, Alex. Naughey is sure
of denomination, but who is to be his asso.
ciate is not disclosed. For county judge,
II. r. Gilbert, of Ottawa, will probably
have no opposition, though NJ. I. Moloney
has been mentioned as a coming man. For
treasurer, no man so bold rs 10 contest the
nomination with Uncle Sam Raymond has
been found in the county. Fol- county
clerk, Pat Finlan and Walter lloge, both

The above Is pretty full and fair view
of the "feId'' so far as the democrats are
concerned, except that IN regard To the
senatorship we think by all odds the name
of j. W. Duncan should have the place
gwen to that of Ex.Mayor Mickey, of Men

county Judge should have been entirely
omitted. He is not candidate. Then there
is the important omission of the name of
David p, Jones, for Probate Judge, who,
so far as we are at present advised, will
have no opposition.
