Justice ]. II. Robinson has for several
days back been kept busy with civil cases,
to which several sanguinary knights of the
knife and steel and several country stock
raisers we're parti es. Monday NJ. j. Shee-
han and Richard Guerdsn sued Wm.Redden

THE first effect of the good Bishop
Oberlys mission here" says the Washing

in letter dated Tuesday, "was seen to-day,
In the speaker calling Springer to the chair
to preside. Bill was as happy over it as a
boy with new top, and thinks his vindi-
cation is assured. l have always had the
utmost confidence in Oberly's ability as a
pacifcstor. If he had been turned loose
into the southern states pending the call to
arms of our misguided sister states, it
would nave been more than two dollars in
his pocket, for he certainly would have
turned many from the error of their ways,
andw ould have shone like the bald head
of reformed politician. Springer was

He was all smiles and ruled like veteran
He can't hold grudge-a fact that Car
Isle knew as we'll as anyone. If the

Some of our contemporaries in the
other two counties of this senatorial dis
trict, have been busylng themselves select
ing candidate for state senator from this
district next November; and In their gener-
Gus efforts to aid the public in selecting
suitable representative, they seem to have
been entirely oblivious to the fact that this
time Alexander county is entitled to the
candidate for senator, by rule established
by common consent among the counties.
Both the other counties have furnished ex-
cellent material for the state senatorshp,
and could do so again, no doubt; but they
will probably not presume to question Al
sxander county's ability to furnish equally
good material. They should not deny to |
Alexander the honor to which she is en-
titled. 1t is said that as Union county had |
the senator twice, Jackson county should |
also have it another term; but there is no |
equity in this for Alexander county, which |
has not had the senstorship at all, ana has
borne the slight gracefully, making no
naughty demonstrations OF any kind. |
Jackson county wants an appropriation |
from the next Legislature, and it may be |
that for this reason she will be 10th to give
up the senatorship to the rghtful claimant,
Alexander. But Jackson need not fear for |
that appropriation. The rebuilding of the
normal school IS not local matter; it is OF
vital Importance to the whole southern half |
of the state, and will have the hearty sup
port of the representatives from the coun-
ties comprising what is known as Southern
Illinois. Jackson county will get the APP

bined efforts Of Southern Illinois senators
and representatives. can give it 10 her, and
she therefore can we'll afford to "tote fair"
with her neighbors in the matter of the
senatorship.
