OUR, FORUM.

Many of the contributions to the
Forum are too long. In the future we
must insist that they be made shorter.
Most of them could be condensed into
900 words. If this is done it will en-
able the REPRESENTATIVE to print
more and greater. variety. Here
after the shorter letters will lie given
preference. Write them on one side of
the paper only. II written on both sides
they will not be printed under any
circumstances
Write them plainly and with ink.
Do not crowd the lines closely together.
plainly written letter conforming to
these rules will stand by far the best
chance to be printed
Within certain proper limitations we
admit the widest liberty of thoght and
expression upon the part of our corre-
spondents, while we do not hold our
selves responsible for any views which
may be put forth.
P. The Forum, as it's name implies. is
sort of debating school, for the discus
sion of the important questions of the
day. We ask our correspondents to
avoid abusive personalities and to keen
clear of the shoreless and bottomless
sea of religious debate.-Ed.

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure Is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stituional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying tue
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do

failed to answer here at the roll call
of duty? Not once, and what have you
received from the farmers? If you had
depended solely on the farmers of Min
nesota for a living YOU would have
starved, notwithstanding your eloquence
and genius. The majority of the farm
ers are as ignorant of the question of
finance rent profit, interest. politics,
land and transportation as the dumb
beasts they drive, and are proud OF
their ignorance.
The farmers say they are proud Of
their wives and daughters, and yet
they work them harder over the stove
and dashboard than the negro womb
In the cotton patch. and give them less
for 1t. Under the laws of Minnesota
the mothers. wives, daughters and sis
tiers are placed on an equality with In
dians, children, idols and convicts, and
the farmers vote for the man that
favors such laws. The farmers are
proud to see the ladies of pleasure
decked out in silks and satins and
their own wife and daughter in Stl/r
print and calico. for the farmers vote
for the man that supports the ladies
Of pleasure. The farmers must feel
proud to see their wives and daughters
peddling around a few pounds of butter
or few dozen eggs, to enable them
to get such Injuries as tea, coffee or
sugar, for the farmers vote for the man
that favors such a system
The farmers are proud to have their
children taught to despise the farm
and get away from it as If it vas an
unclean thing. Turn on the light and

never get your reward from the farm

John Huffman Of Bluffs.


On the extreme right of the Demo-
cratic section of the late house sat a
smOOth-faced member who might, from
his appearance, have been either IS or
20 years of age. He was evidently a man
accustomed TO work hard for living
His face was bronzed and scanned and
his hands horny and misshapen. The
little red guide book shows him to be a
farmer from Scott county serving his
second term. His voice was never heard
except in answer to roll call, but he was
at all times in his seat, and l venture to
Say no man served the people of the
State of Illinois better than he.
1t Is without apology that l print this
story Of John D. Huffman, Bluffs, Scott
county l got it from man who voted
for all Doodle measures, and who doubt
less knew what he was talking about
"If ever there was an honest man, 1t is
that man there" said my Doodle friend.
II know for a fact that he could have
beon $4,000 richer today if he had not
stood out against the offers made for his
votes.''
l took some pains to run over the
roll calls and found that Huffman had
voted against all the notorious Doodle
measures. l watched him after that
and found that he had - some good
friends among the honest members, and
whenever bill came up upon which he
was in doubt he inquired which was the
side of honesty and voted that way He
was an outcast in a certain sense. He
could not herd with tbs good fellows,
who were banded together for plumber
Some said the old man was not bright
but he sat in silent dignity, the center OF
maelstrom Of horsesplay, monu-
ment to decency, challenging the re-
spect even of the most corrupt about
him-Springfield Correspondent of the
Evening Journal.
|. The Times-Herald has heard this
story before and is glad to see it rein
forced on the faith of a trustworthy cor
respondent. We are informed that Mr.
Huffman is not even a farmer in the
sense that he owns farm. He is a
farm hand earning perhaps $25 month
He saw senators and representatives
voting for Doodle measures. He saw
men of wealth and some social position
accepting brides. He saw the governor
Of the state-but that is another story
But John Hoffman of Bluffs in Scott
county could not be coaxed by fair
words or persuaded by foul money tC
violate his duty to the people. He voted
on all measures and he voted right.
When the noisy crew of thieves, flown
with insOlence and wine, left Spring
field to spend in barrOom or brothel the
wages of their infamy John Huffman Of
Bluffs God bless him, returned to Scott
! county to earn his daily bread by tbs
valor of his hands
We print this story because 1t came tc
us like ray of clear light gu. of the
clouds of corruption, broken promises
and violated oaths of Office. The lesis.
lature was not all dishonest There
were many men in that boiy--bravt
