ton has e1temporized a candidate

promises that were made to the
Culdesac delegation when they gen.
erously stood aside with their just
claims upon the party with the dis
tinct understanding from the Lewis

tons that this claim of Culdesac for
its Just share of the patronage
should be recognized at the next
election. These men had therefore
better take friendly warning. The
insidious Vaccinations of this small

shame to have the whole county lost

The above article appeared in a
Culdesac Register of recent date
and we feel called upon to answer it.
In the first plaza Mr.. Orbison was
not forced upon the republican party
against the will of the convention,
as he had large majority over his
competitor, Mr.. Bashor, and his
was in no sense forced |
on the convention. The defeat Of
Mr.. Orbison can be traced to the
auditors office, where a gang OF
small politicians who could no longer
control the party for their own ends
and pockets lost no opportunity to
help defeat him. This is also true
in regard to Culdesac and other
parts OF the county where the de-
.eated politicians had influence.
Speaking of Culdesac's generosity

A Boy Congressman.

In the landslide, or avalanche, or earthquake, or whatever else it was, the district once represented by Abra- ham Lincoln elected Zenos J. Rivers of Litchfeld. MT. Rivers is young law yer, 23 years old. He cannot take the oath of office, or be constitutionally seated until he is 25 years of age. He will be 25 years old before the end of his term, but he is not at present eligi- ble.
 He does not conceal his age. He did not seek the place. It went beg ging. The district is represented at present by MT. Caldwell, a wealthy banker, a democrat, who has served several terms, and who expected to be reelected, and so did nearly everybody else. MT. Rives accepted the nomina- tion because of the free advertising he would gain in the race. He made no speeches and spent no money. The political cyclone came along displac- ing the rich banker and landing the young lawyer in the seat to his own great surprise MT. Caldwell's sur prise was very great and so was MT. kives.'
 Henry Clay was elected to the sen ate. when he was 29 years old, but he was seated. Mr. Rives may be seated if no one objects, and he may be seated anyway, for each house is a judge of it's own members. If the house says he is old enough to be- come a congressman, the constitu- tion's age clause would be nullified. for each house is judge of the "elec- tions, returns and qualifications of It's own members"

Goyefnor PeabodY's Defeat.

Ava Adams, the governor-elect of Colorado, is neither an unknown nor an untried man. He is wealthy, and he was once governor of his state. He is democrat, and his sympathies are democratic in a broad sense, but he ooes not stand in any manner for dis order or anarchy He believes in sus- taining the rights of all under the laws and the constitution, trampling down no one and no interest.
 Governor Peabody, whom he readily defeated, although the republican electoral ticket was given a consider able plurality, posed as the candidate of law and order. He was, however, the very reverse of that. The Spring field Republican, paper that certain ly is not tied to the democratic party, thus describes his recent work
 ITO combat the alleged crimes of a conspiracy of labor unionism, MT. Pea body proceeded to make war on the most cherished constitutional rights of Ameri- can citizens-suspending the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus on his own mo- ton. imprisoning citizens without lawful warrant, denying them hearing or trial deporting them by hundreds for no cause save their exercise of an undoubted right to join a labor union, and destroying their property.

Rope Amonu Democrats.

The landslide has created neither despair nor heartburnings. There Is no room for recrimination, no desire for despondency. Neither exists, and neither will. The democrats of every section are looking to the future, and there is not bit of hopelessness in their plans. Babcock, who was bare ly snatched from the Wisconsin wreck, says he will proceed at once to re- duce the tariff, but MT Babcock nei- ther voices the plans of the admins. tration nor of the Allison clique which controls the senate and the govern ment.
 There Is no prospect of any material or valuable reduction in the Dingley schedule. The beneficiaries of all the schedules are standing together in a compact and all-powerful ring, and the Dingley tariff and the trusts it has created and is enriching at the ex. pense of consumers, will stand prac- tically intact. This is why the dem- ocrats are hopeful. They know the cay is coming when even the con. sumer will turn, and when that day comes republicanism will go down un- | der a landslide that will be well-nigh unanimous.
 It is not necessary to take part in the various so-called reorganization movements that northern democrats have started. Let the specialization go on. It will take proper form with out our aid, and the proper leader will appear at the proper time. In the meanwhile, the south will proceed to grow cotton, to open mines and build mills-to get rich, in short; and the richer it becomes the less use it will have for politics.
 There is no danger that the demo- cratic party will become objectionable to the people of the south. It must represent the people, as the republi- can party stands for privilege of every sort and form. One will represent the masses, and the other the classes This is inevitable, and we need not bother ourselves over the details. Any attempt to make the democratic party the rival in the privilege line of the republican party would miscarry, and it will not be attempted.

Alfalfa sacterla Necessary.

'It Is remarkable" said Robert P Me- David yesterday what progress has been made by the United States agricultural department in the plant industry. The most wonderful discovery. in my opinion Is that made in the cultivation of al- falfa.
 This greatest of all grasses for feed ing purposes can now be raised in most any part of the United States. For sev- eral years farmers tried to raise alfal- ia without success. They would plant the seed in rich ground and the first season there would be nothing like a stand. The second year the crop inn proved just a little and by the time five seasons had passed the farmer was able to get a good crop This peculiar fact got the experts on agriculture to think ing and as a result the agricultural de- pertinent found out that to raise alfalfa successfully the ground must be inoculat- ed with alfalfa bacteria.
 ''Now you can get bushel of dirt which the department furnishes free, con taining the alfalfa bacteria anc by scat tering 1t all over the field you wish to plant you can raise good crop of alfalfa the first season. It is absolutely necessary to have this bacteria in the ground and the only way to get 1t is from the de- partment of agricultur@ or by contin- uing the planting of seed for several years until the ground become inoc- ulated"

 in the hall of his home handsomely mounted pair of antlers. They belonged to the elk that killed General Bull and two companions in Alton twenty-five years ago. General Bull kept the elk as a pet in a park adjoining his Alton home The animal became enraged and gored the three men to death. General Bull was state senator at the time of his death. He was a good friend of the poor persons who settled in Osborne county during his residence there.
 Early in the spring of 1879 Anderson circus appeared In Osborne and passed through Alton. At that time Gen. Bull s house was practically the only one in the town. He persuaded the circus to stop in his town" however, and fur nished them with all the wood, hay, and beef they could use. He then bought $50 worth of tickets at 25 cents a ticket, and started out to tell the glad tidngs. There was no stree parade but the circus gave a show that is still talked about by the old settlers When all Gen. Bulls tickets were used, and those who had money had bought what they could the remain ing penniless ones were admitted free. The whole county saw the circus. The people of Osborne county still hold Gen. Bull in loving remembrance. and observe the anniversar:' of his death every year. The twenty-ffth anniversary was October 12, and me~aorial services were held that day in Alton.

More Whites Than Negroes.

Of late more whites than negroes have been brought before the police court of this town. More whites be- come noisily drunk than negroes. Of forty-three cases docketed on Monday last thirty-six were wlite men, thus showing that Chief Wiers men are no respecters of persons. In offenses against the law the color line is not drawn, and should not be drawn, and Judge Feagin treats all alike. The grand and petit juries should pull themselves up to that standard

In a word he told the people of his race to put money in their purses-to be thrifty-to buy or build a home-to quit loafng. If his excellent advice could be fully applied, next to no ne groes would be arrested in this city where plenty of work awaits all who are willing to earn wages. The op- portunities of the south are excellent as well for the blacks as for the whites. and Tuskegee's principal told the ministers and teachers of his race that they should strive to build up a public sentiment that will rid the south of an idle black class No bet ter task than this is before that race in the south. It needs to be sup planted, however, with work that will free the south from the curse and troubles and killings that grow out of an idle white class.

EGYPTIAN HALL IS DOOMED.
Place of Entertainment Where Ward
 Lectured Coming Down.

London Cor. of the Boston Herald.
 Egyptian Hall, the picturesque old building in Piccadilly which is about to be pulled down, is best known to Lon doners as a place of entertainment that for many years has been unique ia the metropolis, but to Americans the hall IS most interesting as that In which Arte- mus Ward gave his frs. lectures in this country.
 'when the Egyptians built this hal" drawled out the humo"ist when he stepped on the platform 'efore his first English audience-and the house roarcd, and so he made good' with them from the very start. The subject of his lec- ture was, 1t will be temcmhered, The Mormons" and Wards hearers were amused in advance at finding on their tickets the legend, Admit bearer and one wife," That was in November, 1SGG and Ward stayed on h this country featuring and writing for .'lrch--until the following February, when his pulmo- nary trouble obliged him to seek a warmer climate in the island of Jersey. He failed rapidly however, and returned to Southampton to die in the following month.
 Tn Wards time the ven ,rable hall in Piccadilly, which, from IS appearance, might really nave been built ty the Egyptians, was let out fer ontertain- ments of all kinds, put for years it has been identified with the llusory Eer- formances of J. N. Mas<ciync, who IS probably the greatest wizard oulslde India.
 The facade of the Egyptian ilall really Is an artistic piece of ,sjrk, and 10th Londoners and Americans who know their London will miss lIa1namanns fla nous figures when they nave disappeared from Piccadilly. By the way, the Egyp- tian Hall building contains two shops, and both are rather celebrated In their way. One of them is owned by Janc s Epps & Co.,, who are the oldest chemists in the United Kingdom. The other l Jackson sis dear to the hcarts of Amer ican residents here as the one place at which almost every American spec'3lty in the way of food-maple syrup, Boston beans, corn for popping, etc.-can be obtained. It is the one place, .oo, Amer ican women say, where real. sure. enough pie tins can be had.

sunar Cane In Alabama.

''The sugar-cane crop is a real redeem ing feature in Alabama agriculture" said a wiregrass country farmer at the Met ropolitan last night.
 DO you know" he added, that profit of $500 per acre is not an unusual yield in our section and that every year the yield Is greater. Sandy soil and temper ate climate are the only essentials to sugar-cane growth. There are So,0O0,0OO people in the United States, and the last census shows that they use each eighty pounds of sugar. The states of Georgia. Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas can easily produce this amount with proper encouragement. Ala bama is awakened to thls proposition and will meet it."
