Old Time Statesmen in the LegisIa.


1t * now said that two democratic
wheel horses are to go into the Illi-
nOis Legislature next year and man
age matters for their party. One is
William II. Morrison, who was leader
of the house of representatives on
the ways and means committee and
was a prominent member of the
interstate commerce commission. and
at one time il seemed that he would
be the choice of his party for presi-
dent. In his old age the old lion has
agreed To reentcr the legislature
for the purpose of contributing his
advice, counsel and experience to aid
his party with which he has been
identified for two generations. The
other democratic leader is William
II. Neece. In the past Bill Neece
has been a name to- coniure by.
Precedents are not wanting for
such course as these two venerable
statesmen propose to pursue. When
John Quincy Adams retired from the
office of president of the United
States he accepted the nomination
10 the house of representatives from
a country district in Massachusetts
and it was i'm this position that he
laid the foundation of his everlasting
fame as a defender of the right of pc
titiOn. When Roger Sherman returned
to- his native village in Connecticut
after having been one of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence
and Il judge of the supreme court,
in a moment of wrath his fellow
f,,xs HI Il
He accepted the duties of the office
and his decision in regard to the
impounding of cattle laid the foun-
datiOns of the stock law which now
exists in most of the states in the
union.
1t is not the office, but the man,
and when the man depends upon the
office for dignity he is generally "A
poor stick. 1t is related of the duke
of Wellington that in the crisis in
the affairs of the peninsular war he
needed the aid of detachment of
his allies under the command of a
petty German prince. That poten-
tate insisted that according to the
etiquette of his court the English
general must ask his aid on
sobihN Olit tiHNtI tht
duke how he punished the little po-
tentate for such arrogance. "Oh."
said the duke, 81 Topped" Herein
was the greatness of the man mani
fest. 1t was not a question of pune
tilio; what he wanted was to make his
point. and he did it. Morrison and
Neece will show their greatness of
soul by accepting places in the legis-
lature and performing their duties
to the state.

A NoIseIess TrnewrIter.

Scientists claim that the exercise
necessary to operate an ordinary
typewriter. together with its noise,
tend to injure the bealth and cause
nervousness. \ German inventor
has therefore perfected Il machine
which is operated by air pressure on
the keyboard, and does away with
the noise and much of the labor. Its
adoption may be one way of preserv-
ing health and preventing nervous
ness, but there is better and less
expensive way. and that is by using
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. All
people of sedentary occupation need
this wonderful medicine to aid diges-
tion and to keep the bowels regular.
1t will also cure dyspepsia, bilious
ness, insomnia and nervousness.
Don't be deceived into taking some
thing Just as good" There is no
medicine equal to the Bitters.

Let Intelligence and Harmony Pre-

vail.
Intelligence and harmony should
govern the proceedings of tomor-
rows democratic county convention.
Where the first of these elements is
manifest the second must prevail.
Conservatism and the good of the
party. as has been said on many an
occasion, should be regarded as par
amount to the interests or ambitions
of any particular man. Those COM
posing the convention must recog-
nize that Il responsibility as well as
Il duty rests upon their actions, and
that responsibility will not pass with
the conclusion of the convention.
The convention. i'm a word. must do
that of which il may itself be proud
and that which it may reasonably eN-
pect to prove worthy the Endorsement
of every fair-minded citizen.
More than this can no man, be he
candidate or otherwise, ask of the
convention.
