Three Questions.


Recently the ARGUS asked the three
following questions regarding Mr.. Gest,
and the Union. in following out its usual
methods, used the same questions with
regard to Mr.. Cable. The questions are;
What particular service has he ever
rendered the publicf
How has he distinguished himself2
What claims has he for recognitionp
To ask these questions in face of the
record made by its own candidate, the
Union displays the most adamantine
cheek. Mr.. Cable has rendered no par
ticular service to the public because he
has meyer been in the public service. He
has not been hanger-on about political
conventions and ward politicians for the
purpose of getting An office somehow.
purely for the emoluments that Office
may give. He is entering the political
field at the proper age. He is young,
vigorous, intelligent, and in good social
and moral standing. As has been said,
he is not seeking the Office because of the
salary attached to it. but to do what he
can to make his mark in the world po-
litically. Should he personally succeed
he cannot fail to reflect credit upon the
district that sent him. as we'll as advance
its interests In all these matters Mr..
Gest has been tried and found wanting.
How has he distinguished himselfY is
asked. In what way, prays Had he
been a man of letters or of science this
engaged in some great war. the same
query might be looked for; and, apart
from the learned professions. the only
other field in which any great career
could have left its imprint behind is tina
of craftsmanship. What he may do in
that direction has yet to be answered, be
cause he is untried. He has, for the frs
step in that direction, however, the neces
sary quslification-sl education.
What claim has he for recognition
Every claim that pertains to manhood
Born and reared among the very peopl
whom he asks to represent, his every &C
is known. His life is as an open book
Kind, generous and unostentstIous; hi
intellectual culture added to by EXTENSIVE
travel and observation; what more Cal
one man ask of another? Is there an
faculty or qualification in which Mr.. Csbl
is wanting? If not, then why has he no
claims for recognition? His opponent
know all this and acknowledge 1t t
themselves. but the man of their part
must be upheld ut all hazards, even if
is necessary to blacken the character @
somebody to do it.

The Aledo Reco1d saws;

uC hiCuO IlCCOU says.
The republican candidates for congress
and the state legislature are men of good
business habits, moral stamina, strict in
tegrity, friends of temperance, and In
every way representative men of the adj
vanced civilization of the people of the
district. If elected they will creditably
represent the republicans of the district
on every issue before the people.
Yes. that's the kind of men the repub.
lican candidates are. to be sure, including
the one in this district. That he is
thrifty there can be no doubt, as witness
his pursuit of girl for fees to which he
was in no ways entitled. This may be
reckoned as business habit. HIS moral
stamina may be all right in some direc-
tons, but certainly not in the instance
just mentioned, and integrity will be
classed in the same category. All men
who are not drunkards or insane are
friends of temperance. But if Mr.. Gest
is in every way a representative man OF
the advanced civilization of this district,
then we are not progressing very rap
idly. And if he were elected, would
he creditably represent the republicans
even of this district on every issue before
the people? Certainly he would not. He
has been weighed in the balance and
found wanting. Let him retire to the
practice of his profession. He displays
an accumulative spirit in that direction
and one that needs no cultivation. He
would adOrn home better than a pub
lie hall. Let the home not lack for the

Torpidity of the Liver.

If the liver is not doing its full duty In
the manufacture Of bile the digestive ap-
paratus suffers greatly. A person with a
torpid liver is always lean, for he is I'M
able to digest the fat making clements of
the food. One with hard, plump tissues
cannot possibly have a torpid liver, for a
pretty good liver is absolutely necessary to
the deposit of large amount of adipose
tissue.
Another consequence of torpi dity of the
liver Is that the food is not well absorbed
after it is digested. Such persons may eat
enough to be fat. but their food does them
no good beyond maintaining existence
