DISTRUST.

Distrust the man who tells you to distrust-
he takes the measure Of his own small soul.
And thinks the world no larger. he who pirates
OF human natures baseness and deceit
Looks in the mirror of his heart and sees
His kind therein effected. Or perchance
His honeyed wine of life was turned to gall
BY sorrow's hand which brimmed his cup with tears,
And made all things seem bitter to his taste.
Give him compassion. but be not afraid
OF nectared love, or friendships strengthening
draught,
Nor think poison underlies their sweets.
Look through true eyes, you will discover truth.
Suspect Suspicion. and doubt only Doubt.
Ella Wheeler.

The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1884-10-22

OLD DICK OGLEsBY, the republican
candidate for governor, is disgusting his
audiences wherever he appears by his
violent and abusive language. OF course
he is unable to give good, substantial
reasons why the people should support
the republican party, but he further alien
iates voters from his cause BY the vitu>
perative tongue lashing he gives the dem
oCrats on all occasions. He is also the
worst kind of hypocrite, too Last week
he spoke at Quincy and partook of the
hospitality OF that city. just before leav,
ing he showed the appreciation in which
he held the efforts which had been made
to entertain him in the following words
at took me five hours to see Quincy.
There are in the city only four dozen very
elegant and refined gentlemen, and the
rest are hogs. Quincy is the belly Of the
state of Illinois" This is fine language
for the candidate to the high Office OF
governor of this state to use, and leads
us to think more than ever that old Dick
is not responsible for whathe says, which
is very charitable construction to place
on his words.

State department officers decline to affirm
the statement that the offer of 100000
francs to the French government was made
by the Chinese government through the U.
S. government and declined. Although the
department regards this as q diplomatic

lie, there is understood to be no doubt about
the fact Secretary Frelinghuysen denies
that he has expressed surprise at the course
pursued by France.

NEW ToKK, Oct .22- The Star says: The
physicians of Mount Vernon complain that
they have had great difficulty recently in
