A Senator who Has the Courage of His
Convictions.
There are few men in public life who
have the courage to say NO" when
called upon to do improper things.
Hence it is worthy of note when states
man can be found who deliberately and
positively refuses to indorse person or
scheme which his Judgment indicates

young man from Missouri was in Wash
ington seeking an important consulate.
His Endorsements were excellent, but
he KEEP! adding to them whenever he
could do so. One day he called upon
Senator Plumb, of Kansas, with whom
he was slightly acquainted, and re-
q .ested his recc mmendation. The Sem

sTEPHEI A. DOUGLAS, JR. the Raleig
Standard, the organ of the Republican
party in North Carolina. In the same
year he was appointed Adiutant-General
of the State, and in 1872 became a
Presidential elector. Four years later
the party honored him again in a SINH
lar way.
Arriving at Chicago in 1879 he began
the practice of law, and was, the follow
ing year, elected in company with the
famous Long John Wentworth. Grant
delegate, to the Republican National
convention, from which the two men
mentioned, together with sixteen other
Illinois delegates of the same faction,
were expelled. Since that time young
Douglas has devoted his political
talents to stump-speabing, but has not
yet succeeded in securing reward for
his labors. OF personal appearance the
namesake of the Little Giant has no
reason to be proud, unless he might
happen to run across an admirer of
short stature and mass of adipose
tissue. Vulgarly speaking, Stephen A.
Douglas, Jr., is fat, SO fat in fact that
his eyes have hard work to peep out
into the world. He has, however, a
great name and has inherited some of
his fathers eloquence, so that what ma
ture has denied him is more than bal
anccd by what his ancestry has given
him.
The name of Douglas will forever be
honored in Chicago, and, for that mat
ter, throughout the West. Still it is to
be regretted that the grand gift of a
great man to the cause of American edu-
cation is to be parceled out among real
estate Spectators and that where once
was seatoflearning may in few months
stand two or three beer saloons and gin
shops. But then the ways of Providence
are inscrutable, and kicking against the
pricks is useless occupation.

Especial Chicago Correspondence

The name and fame of Stephen A.
Douglas are closely identified with the
growth and development of the State of
Illinois and the city of Chicago. The
<-LiStle Giant" who, born in 1918 in
Vermont, and early apprenticed to the
trade of cabinet-making, was compelled
to educate himself, always had loving
sympathy with struggling young men;
and prompted by this feeling he was
easily persuaded to contribute portion
of his possessions toward the foundation
cunulated his wealth is matter of his
tory. III health compelling him to give
up the trade for which his parents had
intended him, he studied law in Canaan
daigua, n. Y, and in 1888 came West,
settling at jacksonville, Ill. His tai
ents were quickly recognized and APP
preciated by the progressive people of
Illinois, who made him Attorney-Gener-
al before he had reached the age of
twenty-five.
In 1910 he was elected Secretary Of
State, and in 1S41 was appointed Judge
of the State Supreme Court. Two years
later he entered Congress, where he
soon became conspicuous for his views
on the Oregon boundary question. and
bis eloquent advocacy of the annexation
OF Texas. In 1858 he became noted
throughout the world as the author of
the bill fer the organization of the Ter
ritories of Kansas and Nebraska, which,
as is well known, brought about revo-
luton in the political parties of the
United States and played a most impor-
tant part in bringing the slavery ques-
ton to a crisis. In 1852 and again in
1856 he was an unsuccessful candidate
for the Presidency, two blows from
which he never entirely recovered and
which probably led to his premature
death in 1861.

glory, and while being in the regular re-

To destroy the memory of that name
Of Christ, you would have to burn up all
the Bibles and all the churches on earth,
and then in spirit of universal arson 60
through the gate of Heaven and put a
torch to the temples and the towers and
the palaces, and after all that city was
wrapped in awful conflagration and the
citizens came out and gazed on the ruin
even then they would hear that name in
the thunder Of falling tower and the
crash of crumbling wall, and see it in
wrought in the flying banners of fame,
and the redeemed of the Lord on high
would be happy yet and cry out: LET
the palaces and the temples burn, We
have Jesus left.n blessed be His glo-
rious name forever and ever. The name
that is above every name"
But above all, and more than all. that
name will be embalmed in the memory
of all the good of earth and all the great
ones of Heaven. Will the delivered
bondmen of earth ever forget who freed
him? viii the blind man of earth ever
forget who gave him sight? Will the
outcast of earth forget who brought him
home? No. No!
Have you ever made up your mind by
what name you will call Christ when
you meet Him in Heaven? lou know
He has many names. Will you call Him
Jesus, or the Amounted One, or the
Messiah, or will you take some of the
symbolic names which on earth you
learned from your Bible?
Wandering some day in the garden OF
God on high, the place abloom with
eternal springtide, infinite luxuriance
of rose and lily and amaranth, you may
look up into His face and say: "My
Lord. Thou art the rose of Sharon and
the lily Of the valley"
Some day, as a soul comes up from

To the repenting soul, to the ex-
hausted invalid, to the Sunday school
girl, to the snow-white octogenarian, it
is beautiful. The old man comes in from
long walk and tremblingly opens the
doors, and hangs his hat on the old nail,
and sets his cane in the usual corner,
and lies down on a couch and says to his
children and grandchildren: my dears,
l am going to leave you" And they
say: why, where are you going, grand
father?" Il am going to Jesus" And

Fortunate Man.

Mr.. Frank L. Craft, ticket agent at
the L. & N. depot in this city, is indeed
fortunate man. On Saturday his
wife presented him with fine daugh-
ter, and on Monday letter was re-
ceived from lawyer in Meridian,
Texas, announcing that Mrs. Craft
was one of the heirs to 1,476 acres
of land in Hamilton coNnty in
that State. The land belongs to the
estate of her uncle, recently deceased,
and she will probably receive one
third interest. The many friends OF
Mr.. Craft and wife congratulate them
on their good fortune.
