The Legislative situation.

The action on the part of the con-
yention at AIedo yesterday in putting
in the field second candidate for
minority representative precipitates
a situation for the democrats to face
similar to that of two years ago. 1t
is state of affairs sincerelysto be de-
Plored by the democracy. of the Thir-
ty-third district. The Argus, while
it has sought in this instance as it did
two years ago, to avoid participation
in the unfortunate controversy, is
nevertheless inclined toward the
Rock Island county candidate, and
until through the constituted author
tiles, political or judicial, Mr.. Moore's
candidacy is declared to be irregular,
will continue to support him.
1t would doubtless be better in the
interests of party harmony in the
district if ruling from recognized
authority could be had at an early
date on the merits of the case. True.
the democratic committeeman of Mer-
Ger and Henderson counties claim the
Endorsement through the state central
committee of their course, yet a for
mai decision on the situation as it
now stands would be welcomed, or
at least should be welcomed by all
elements of the party.
In the opinion of The Argus. the
breach that now exists in the party
in this senatorial district might read
lily have been avoided. and it should
have been not only in the interests
of party harmony. but as a matter
of political judgment. The fight
than avoided, during the state cen
vention at Springfield. The interests
of the party ought to be regarded as
common in this senatorial district,
and all concerned would have been
better served at Springfield had there
been manifested Il disposition to pro-
mote unity and good feeling under
the new conditions.

The New York Herald, Independent
republican, says: when the party
in power cries, Don't touch the tar
it, it in effect says, Don't touch the
trusts" That is the whole truth as
TO the insincerity of republican pre-
tense of a desire to curb the trusts.
Republicans must pretend to be
against the trusts, because the peo-
pie are against the trusts; but repub-
licans will never risk losing their
campaign funds by really trying to
curb the trusts.

The Republican Revolt.

The Boston Advertiser, ultra CON
sentative republican, reads the lesson
of Speaker Henderson's fight from
impending disaster as follows:
This incident serves to illustrate
the force of the revolt against the
Dingley tariff by the republicans of
the west. In Iowa that party has
declared squarely for the abolition
of tariff protection on articles pro-
duced by the trusts. 1t has been the
fashion hereabouts to pooh-pooh this
demonstration. Speaker Henderson
by his action in declining renomina-
ton on that platform gives assurance
that it is not a sentiment TO be pooh
poOhed. 1t means sowe thing. He
sees it and bows to it. Il believe
there is "A growing sentiment among
republicans he says, that | do not
truly represent their views on the
tariff question: 1t is growing in
the west. So, too, is it growing in
the east. The republican revolt is
becoming formidable"

BAD MANNERS ARE DUE TO IN
DIFFERENCE

COMEBODY has discovered that the
- decadence in modern manners does
not necessarily denote our in
creased brutality or absolute indifer-
ence to the feelings and needs of other
people. It is balm to the soul to be
assured of this fact.
We nave admitted to ourselves
for some time past that u man
ners have not the repOse which
should mark the caste Of We're
de We're, and that we are indeed
frankly di~scOurteous to each other We
also know that many men are no longer
particular how they act Or what they
say in the presence of women, and do
not even observe the small courteSieS
of life where members of the opposite
sex are concerned Men no longer hest
tate to let a woman wait on thems or
to push her aside in a crowd, or TO
smoke in her fpce unapOlogetically, as
if that were their natural right. We
certainly are less polished and cere-
monious than were our forbears.
Facing this fact, it is pleasing to be
assured that the change is not due tc
selhshness, but is simply h express
sion of our desire to be honest. to avoid
shams. Therefore, if we sometimes
oYerstep the limit and cultivate un
! pleasant freedom of speech and action
manifest unrestrained rudeness, we are
to be excused IN the ground OF u ex'
ceSSiVe franknesS and honesty.

FOG TO CURE ALL COMPLEXION
ILLS.

THERE is every prospect that In a
short time American women will
be rushing over to England in the
winter for the fog cure" The impress
sion got abroad last summer that the
sea fog is good for h complexion.
Somebody who was supposed to know
gave the fog of the island as the reason
why English girls have such good
compilations. A number of American
girls who spent the summer where sea
fogs do most abound on the other side
decided to remain through winter to
try their good effect. Indeed. Ameri-
cans have gone quite mad on the sub
ject.
The sea fog was also recommended
as a cure for tan and freckles. Girls
who were suffering from a painfully
tanned skin were recommended to give
up Efycsrine and creams and go to a
place where there was a continual fog.
They did, and believed the fog reno
waited their compilations as nothing else
possibly could nave done
AS an outcome of the new fad there
will, in all probability, be sanitariums
where fog baths. made TO order, will be
supplied along with all the other mod
ern conveniences. These, of course, will
be for the girls who DO not want to
spend all their time on the other side.
They can devote q part Of each day to
the fog bath and give the remainder OF
their time over TO the duties OF society,
