can cite you worthy example in
this connection. A poor man, with
wife and several small children, not
yet two years ago. settled on just such
land as I am talking about-s'not a
stick amiss." They have built good
story -and-a-half frame house with two
rooms below and two above; a sub
stantiai framed barn some forty feet
square; and cleared, fenced and put i'm
cultivation about twelve acres of land,
and are clearing more this winter.
They had no money to begin with; but
had two horses and several cows and
hogs. Their stock has somewhat in
creased and they have a supply of
provisions and stockfeed for the cur

good wife pulled at one end of the

and barn, and then she helped him
nail the boards OF the roof, and so i'm
all work. They will succeed, and "in
due season reap if they faint not" Yes,
aoork, is the way to success, no matter
what We go at. Some worthy exam
pies on larger scale might be named
here: but | say emphatically that the
great hindrances to development and
prosperity in Southeast Missouri are
laziness and improviience in the mass

simply ludicrous to hear some of them

their stomachs are empty and their
backs nearly naked. "76.u

Some serious individual asked once if
life was worth living. aud the answers to
the question have been many and diverse,
but one of the most pungeut responses
was: 1T depends upon the liver" The
point would have been lost but pc rhaps
the prosaic truth would have been pre-
served intact if the answer had been 1T
depends upon the digestion" One of
the most critical times in mans life is
when, without chart or compass, be sets
sail upon troubled sea of city restaurant
life. 1t is an interesting occupation
this diurual dining of ours-and it seems
to lose none of its prestige AS the years
come and 60. Whether it be q sorry
crust or a costly spread it matters not for
the hour if appetite is king; but. for the
future, each man should be on his guard
and when it comes to what he eats-then
put prudence and intelligence on picket
guard and challenge every conner.

it. But there are many men and wo-
men who live too far from home. or
are too busy at the noontime hour to
90 home, or that prefer for any number
of reasons to live at the restau-
rant. The restaurants in this city, as a
whole, are not what they should be. not
what they could be, not what the patrons
ought 10 demand. The city is lamenta>
bly, behind in this respect. More money
could be made, more satisfaction could
be experienced, more stomachs could be
relieved from risk if the restaurant keep
ers of Chicago would resolve to pre-
sent better bills, cleaner appurtenances,
swifter service, more W holesome cooks

The day will come when the msgnii-
cent opportunities in the line of game
and fish. fruit. farm products and meat,
which this county offers, will find ample
results in a better class of restaurants

AN EX-SOLDIER'S VIEWS.
Is 1t TO Our Interest to Defeat Hon.
william II. Neecey


As one who was among the first to re
spond to the call of our country for sold,
iers to put down the rebellion, and
among the very last to leave The field, l
feel that have right to advise my fell
low soldiers as to their best interests ]
have always been radical republican,
and am the same to-day, and expect to
live and die in the front ranks of the par
" But We as soldiers have great inter
sts at stake. We have claims TO look
after; and if We have not we know of
many who have; and the best way to
reach the departments is through the
member of congress from our district,
provided the member is in sympathy with
he administration, otherwise there is no
use TO try to effect anything through his
agency.
Mr. Niece has shown himself the true
friend to the soldier BY personally work
iuI issue. He has had experience of two
terms and is thoroughly acquainted with
all the routine business of the pension
office. Being on the committee on inva-
lid pensions, and chairman of the sub
committee for Illinois, he has full author
ily to examine personally all evidence
iiicd, aid to recommend and demand
special legislation where it may be neces>
sary to secure favorable action on descrv-
ing claims. No soldier or widow, or orr
phan of soldier, ever applied to him in
vain for assistance in pressing their claims,
and he has been successful in large ma
jority of the cases he has called up, and
his services have always been given free
ly and without -egard to the political af-
filiation of the soldier. Many of us
who have had our claims drag along for
weary years have reason to thank him for
getting them passed upon and always ais
lowed; and now, when We need help the
most, shall we defeat him and send up
new man whose influence with the depart
ment would not be sufficient to get
claim hurried up in the leastf
ale can do rs More good there than any
new man of whatever party aud we want

Tariff Revision.

The New York World, in reply to
favOrite declaration of the supporters of
war duties in time Of peace, that IF the
tariff is to be revised 1t must be revised
by its friends rather than by its enemies"
Well, the tariff has been tinkered and
revised by its friends. the extreme pro-
tectiOnists, three or four TINS since the
close Of the war, and what has been the
result? The schedule of dutiable articles
still includes over 4 900 items. The aver
age ad valOrem duty last year was over
46 per cent, which is about , J per cent
less than the highest rate of the war per
iod, and nearly per cent more than it
was before the last revision of the tariff
by it's friends" in 1883. The amount of
revenue received from duties last year
was $4,000 900 greater than was collect
ed IN 1886, when the war taxes, were at
their highest point.
1t thus appears that the revision of
the tariff by its friends" has neither ma
terially lessened the taxes nor reduced
the revenue. 1t is not high time to have
a revision that will revise, and reduc-
ton that will reduce?

Dinner at a Chinese Restaurant.

Within the past two months several prom
inent persons have given select dinner parties
at the Chinese restaurant in Mott street.
One given by Commodore Thomas J. Falls,
formerly superintendent Of the imperial ar
seIaI at Tsin-Tsin, cost Falls $3.50 There
were twelve at the table, including six China
men. Birds nests, sharks fins, dried locusts,
bamboo sprouts and smoked and pressed rats
from the Celestial shores are said to have
been on the bill of fare The commodore
waxed enthusiastic in praise of the rats He
has lived nearly twenty years Ill the Chinese
empire. He says that Americans have very

from the nest when young, and brought up

words, THE dish is as far superior to a

A great name is the condensed essence OF
years of toll 1t represents hard work in q
garret-days of hunger perhaps and hours Of
utter despair. All through years of uurecog-
milton the artist has toiled on. At some period
there comes the turning point. Perhaps the
exhausted frame gives way and the unknown
toler sinks into nameless grave, perhaps he
strikes an idea, works it out, and the picture
commands the attention of the world.
When the change comes it is like the wave
of a magicians wand. Pictures that the
artist could not get dinner on are eagerly
sought for by the dealers. Wealthy sitters offer
anything for portrait, and his brother
artists, still at the bottom of the ladder, gaze
up and say, Look at that fellow. He can't
paint, yet everybody is running after him."

THE legislative canvass IS in very
peculiar and complicated condition in
this district at the present writing, demo
cratcally speaking. The opposition to
Mr.. John r. Kenworthy, the regular
democratic nominee, among the democra-
cy of Henry county, Yesterday culmina-
ted in an open revolt, in an official sense
at least. The Henry county democratic
committee met at Cambridge to discuss
the senatorial and legislative question,
and two members of the senatorial COM
mittee. McSsrs. l.. C. Banding and VIM.
McEniry, conferred with them-that is
they were present at the meeting, but the
bulldozers of Henry county ran things
to suit themselves. After a strong de-
bate, and notwithstanding the protes-
tatiUns of the Rock Island gentlemen, the
county committee of Henry adopted the
following;
Res0iped, That We approve and recon-
mend for the suffrages of the democrats
Of Henry county, the senatorial and leg
islative nominees of the convention held
at Orion, namely: Marx D. Hauberg, for
senator. and John T. Piatt, for represen>
taiive.
This is an open declaration of war up
on Mr.. Kenworthy by the democracy of
Henry. Whatever influence the county
committee wields will be cast for John
Piatt. This is contemplate, ungenerous
and unprincipled. and can but rebound
to the discredit of the democrats of that
county They do not fight Mr. Ken
worthy on personal grounds, however.
They charge their grievances 10 the dem
ucratic party of Rock Island county.
The sore headed leaders over in Henry
want to Chastise the democrats of this
county for fancied wrong and they
imagine this is their golden opportunity,
and Mr.. henworthy Is to be the victim.
The ARGUS is glad the Henry county
men have shown their hand, even if they
have degraded themselves in the eyes of
all true democrats We know where to
place them now, and Mr. kenwnrthy and
his friends will act accordingly.
