HIS POLITICAL LIFE.
Mr.. Cable had no aspirations for politi-
cal fame, though he figured In one of the
most memorable congressional contests
this district has known. In the con-
vention held at Dallas City in August,
1870, he received the entire vote of the
convention, and was made the unanimous
choice of the Democratic party. He was
spoken of in that convention as lone of
the most honored and esteemed citizens of
Rock Island, a man of known financial
ability, of the highest legal attainment.
of unquestionable honesty. and gentle-
man in every sense of the word"
Mr.. Cable was at that time in Europe,
where he remained throughout his cam
paign, and previous to the nomination he
had written several letters positively de.
clining to accept the nomination for CON
gress, but dispatch was received at the
ARGUS office from Edinburg, which read
mo candidate; Ii elected. will serve"
The campaign was an exciting one
Mr. Cable developed unexpected strength
all over the district, . and though
he was defeated by ]. B. Hawley, by
forty one votes; it was victory for the
democracy as the great gains showed,
and leading men of both parties claimed
that by honest count, Mr.. Cable was cleo

Protest Against tho Japanese Craze.

Protest Against tho Japanese Craze.
Her Won Fake, the custodian Of the Vienna
industrial museum, protests against the
Japanese craze which is flooding the western
nations with the productions Of japanese art,
and which he asserts is Japanizing even Eu-
ropean art. In spite of the indispensable
technical finish of Japanese art, its essence is
that of caricature. Figures and drawings of
Japanese men and women, even of trees and
ships, are not intended to be representations
of real types, but are more or less consciously
distorted. 1t is mistake to regard japanese
work as model for European imitation

Make Some One Happy

Strive to make some one happy
this Christmas. If the husband
and wife have had little differences
and misunderstanding, if you
are their friend seek to overcome
the troubls and reunite them
again. If the boy or girl i. sink
ing under heavy loads their hearts
are carrying, try and Tighten their
burdens. If the widow sits lonely
and sad, looking at the empty
place In her home, cheer her with
loving kindness. If you see some
wifeless man staggering along the
streets, don't break your necks
hurrying to some resort where
you can tell the crowd you saw
him drunk. But lead him to some
harbor of rest and peace and
strive to still the torments of hell
that are pounding in his bosom.
Ii you do these, and others lust
like them, when the end of all
earthly things comes round, take
the Evangelist's word for it-you'll
get by Peter at the Golden Gate
without word Of protest from
him. The doorkeeper of heaven
is good one he will know 'em
all, and the crank and the outlaw,
the sinner and the bigot, the
fanatic and the hypocrite will get
the bounce, while the humane
man and woman here ON earth,
when they shall "pass under the
portal, will Give ON in hearts made
better by deeds divine" This is

and every one expresses doubt and
apprehension in the future Of the

in mourning complaints about inn

Merry Christmas.

Christmas" wrote Dickens, ais
the only holiday of the year that
brings the whole human family in
to common communion" We are
scattered in many lands, yet the
bond of union that has long held
us together seems to strengthen
with years. Many Christmas ami
versaries have come and gone
since we first assembled, in spirit
If not in presence, to hang the hol-
ly and pledge our faith and friend
ship; and each recurring Christ
mas time has found us more
closely united. Let us hope and
believe that when even the tod
dlers of our family shall have
seen their heads grow gray, the
spirit of Christmas shall still make
young their hearts.
The star that shines in Bethlehem
Shines still and shall not cease,
And we listen still to the tidings
OF glory and of Peace.

New York publisher predicts that
the permanent edition of the mag.
azine will go beyond 100000 be-
fore the completion of the Lincoln

A striking evidence Of the re-
viyal in trade throughout the
country during the year is fur
nished by the production of pig
iron. Estimates, which are par
italy based on the actual produc-
ten of the first seven or eight
months of the year, bring the out
put of 1886 up to 5,5S0,0O0 tons.
This is the largest production
ever made in the United States,
andis an increase of about 3S per
cent over that of 1856, which was
4,O44, ,0sO tons. The production of
the previous four years shows but
little variation from the latter fig
ure, having been 4, LA, ,254 in 1881,
4,623,323 in 1882, 1886, $40 in 1883,
and 4,097, ,S6S in 1884. There was
a slight decline in production, it
will be noticed, in zach year in
1882 up to 1885. The increase in
1886, however, has been SO great
as to put the output far above any
previous total, being double that
of 1879, and more than double thai
of any preceding year. in con-
nection with this increase two adj
ditional facts of significance de-
serve notice, namely: Prices have
advanced 50 ton in the past few
months, and the stock of iron on
hand is much less now than it was

0rnamenting the Christmas Tree.

Last year in many cities and
towns there appeared in certain
churches and halls Christmas
trees of marvellous beauty. The
tips of the green boughs were gilt
tering with crystals, and reflected
the light in many beautiful colors.
Some of these trees, in addition to
the crystals, seemed laden with
golden fruit, like an orange tree in
an untimely frost or snow storm.
Other trees were ornamented with
hand painted flags, of all nations.
The method of covering green
twigs with crystals is very sim
pie and inexpensive one. Put in
to a bucket pound or mere of
alum, and pour a gallon or more
OF boiling water upon it. Place
the tree in such a position that the
tips of the bough may remain in
this solution for some hours, per-
haps over night. Repeat the
process until as many bouehs are
tipped with crystals as will make
the tree very beautiful; or cut the
twlgs, Crystalline them, and fix
them again On the boughs.

COUGH CANDY.
Recommended by the Leading
Physicians as a tonic and
Expectorant.

We take pleasure in making
known to the public, this valuable
candy, as a medicine. 1t is made
with a view of combining the best
known remedies for Bronchial
troubles with pure candy in such
a manner as to make a medicine,
while very pleasant to the taste,
yet effective in its work. It
costs but a trifie. The chill
dren consider it a treat to get
it to eat, and yet it takes the
place of the costly syrups and
troches manufactured. Mr.. May
nard has been manufacturing this
candy and using it for years, and
has hundreds of testimonials from
physicians and patients wherever
he has sold it, speaking in the
highest terms of its efficacy as a
medicine. It is splendid for
coughs, colds and hoarseness, and
when melted and taken as syrup
will cure Group. 1t gives us great
pleasure to publish the following
testimonials from our best physi-
clans, recommending J. G. May
nard's Cough Candy:
DIR. [. W. SHAW, a prominent
PHYSICIAN, formerly of Macon City
but now of Philadelphia says:
THE prescription from which
Maynard's Cough Candy is made,
is better remedy for throat or
bronchial troubles than the many
troches and lung balsams now in
the market"
DIR. F. A. GROVE, of Kirxsville,
says: Il cheerfully endorse the
above"
DIR. GooDsoN, of Macon City,
says: "It is a tonic and expector-
ant {, and very strengthening to the
lungs"
DIR. 7. S. RUBY, formerly of
Macon City, but now of Lebanon,
Tenn, says: This candy undoubt-
edly saved me and my son from a
spell of pneumonia. [ will further
give you privilege to sign my name
to anything in ccmmendation to
your Cough Candy"
KIRKsvILLE, Mo-, March 21st.,
1885, Il have used J. G. Maynard s
Cough Candy for several years in
cases of cold on the lungs and
hoarseness, and have found it a
pleasant, safe and efficient remedy
in such cases. j. B. MITCHELL.

Happiness as it is in Youth and Ma
turitV,

Il
turity.
Isn't it a little queer that as we
grow from youth to manhood the
objects change which bring us
pleasure. The amount of happi-
ness realized varies but little :?
There seems to be a certain
amount of the article implanted in
US, no more, no less. The boys
sled gives place to the richly ca
parisoned sleigh, the toy house to
the imposing residence, the toy
watch to the real one, the toy boat
to the OCEAN yacht-but the first
yielded quite as much pleasure as
the last.
The Christmas gifts and pleas
ures of youth brought as much
happiness as houses and lands,
honors and fame do in after years.
Our happiness is all relative, any
way. We enjoy by comparison.
The boys sled is big enough to fill
his mind. The mans yacht is
merely toy, which has its use for
a time and then ceases to amuse.
Christmas is a reality to the young
"A definite pleasure point. To
the full grown boys and girls it is
an attempt to arouse the old en-
thusiasm, the belief in Santa
Claus, the enjoyment in gift Civ
ing and gift receiving. It comes
and goes, and they try hard to
persuade themselves that they en-
loyed it with the old time zest.
