The County Conyantion.

Tomorrow afternoon at Turner hall
occurs the democratic county conven-
ton, whose duty is to select dele
gates to the state, congressional and
senatorial conventions. pass upon the
question of a candidate for minority
representative and to nominate a
county ticket. In all that is to be
done, the convention is expected to
consider the first and highest inter
ests of the county democracy. The
duty OF the hour rises above personal
aims and personal animosities. On
the eve of presidential campaign, it
is incumbent upon the Rock Island
county democracy to equip itself we'll
for the fight. Mere trivialities are of
no concern to the party as a whole,
whose best interests repose in in
trusting its welfare to those who will
represent it creditably, and whose in
fluence may be counted upon in wag-
ing contest of party reunited and
stronger than ever before in behalf of
the people against those influences in
power that have been false to the
people and to their well beloved
teachings and principles.

Truth UndenIable.

Senator Hoar declared a truth well
understood by the masses of the
American people when he said in the
senate the other day, on motion to
extend to the Boer ENJOYS. while in
Washington, the privilege of the floor
of the senate. that he was bound to
say that the attitude of the country
with reference to the people of the
Philippines has throttled and stiffled
the expression of sympathy which
ought to go out to the Boer republics. :"
OF course it has. How can we Off
cially declare sympathy with the Boer
republics in their brave struggle to
maintain their liberties and independ-
ence, when President Mckinley is
conducting a war to prevent the Phil
ippines having the same rights? OF
the heroic efforts of the Beers Senator
Hoar said: at is the best fighting
done on this planet since Thermopy-
lac, and no fighting has been done in
a holier cause" This leaves nothing
to say, and it is as true as the Declar-
alton of independence.

GEN. OTIS had no sooner landed in
San Francisco than he began to de-
clare that the insurrection in the
Philippines was over. had been over
several months, that the leaders of
the native forces have all been killed.
And in the same papers that print
this interview are dispatches of the
death in the discharge of his duty of
one of the most gallant officers in the
American army-Capt. George j.
Godfrey, of the 22d infantry, having
fallen in battle in Luzon. And this is
but one of the most conspicuous sac
riices that this country has, and is
every day making, in a war that has
been over several months.

GOOD TASTE IN DRESS.

Good taste in dress is largely
matter of educati IN, and no lady can
afford to neglect this, no matter what
her station in life may be. A dress
should accord with reason and good
Judgment, bearing in mind that there
is such thing as beauty of outline
of form that should be constantly
sought for and used so as to bring
out the results an artist would desire
and appreciate. In no other way
could these results be obtained, ex-
cept by careful education and train
ing in such matters.
There have been MANY attempts
made to get correct system whereby
all kinds of clothing could beaeut for
general wear. There have been paper
charts. models, scales, folding and
sliding devices of every conceiva BILE
kind, but none was successful.
There was no system for general use
that could Gus anything beyond
plain waist lining and plain sleeve

successful method of cutting and tit

The Fifth supreme court circuit of
Illinois, embracing many of Rock
Islands neighboring counties, has
cast aside the non-partisan character
of its judicial elections that has pre-
vailed for % years and has elected
Judge Hand, of Henry county, whose
chief claim to the Office was that he
was a republican. over the veteran and
Justice Craig, of Knox,
who has been on the bench for over a
quarter OF a century on the score of
merit. But in a national election
year the continuance of such a prac-
tice in a district Overwhelmingly re-
publican was hardly to be expected.

orders be right or wrong. but under
a government by the people the re-
sPonsibility for the justice of such
orders rests wholly with the citizen.
He can not perform his duty by ap-
proving the willful acts OF the presi-
dent in defiance of the Declaration of

fiicted, and, under no condition what

By means of costly appliances found
