will continue to cooperate with us in
this work, that we may be enabled to
90 forward during the coming year
with new hope, new zeal and greater
aspirations. and that the influence of
the mission may be far-reaching and
of great benefit to the people of this

A cordial invitation is extended to

Legislative Vote by Telegraph.

The Quincy Herald has this to say
of the caper cut by Speaker Sherman
in the house at Springfield this week,
as heretofore alluded to in THE ARGUS:
The republicans needed n vote the
other day in passing house bill of
appropriations which included the
$4,000 appropriation for legal eXpen-
ses for Van Cleave's insurance de-
partment. They dallied long enough
to have an absent member telegraph
his vote from Chicago, and Speaker
Sherman broke the worlds record of
Car Reed, or any other parliamenta-
rian, by ordering it to be counted.
subsequently the count was made I'M
necessary, but Sherman demonstrated
his willingness to cruelty precedent.
If votes can be registered by telegraph
what is the use of assem- bling the
legislature at all? What is the use of
personal contact and the exchange of
opinions. OF what use is the Spirit
and inspiration of an assembly of rep
resentatives of the people if its will
can be nullified by the registration of
sundry votes by telegraph? That leg
islator who was carried in on cot of
sickness and pain to record his daily
vote for John NJ Palmer was not such
4 hero after all. Under democratic
Sherman all he would have to do
would be to press the button in his

There is more catarrh in this sec

eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incura-
BILE. For great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh TO be a
constitutional disease, and, therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
+. j. Cheney IL Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
