Spleen Pure and Simple.

NJ. F. Dunlap, who had charge OF the
Hearst campaign in Illinois prior TO
the state convention. is giving evil
dence of disgruntle that his chief
should have received more recogni-
tiOn than he by the convention. DuuN
lap is addressing circulars to the dele
gates who attended the convention from
various parts of the state. requesting
them to sign and send HIM formal nos
tees seeking TO change the personnel
of the delegates at large to the national
convention from those selected to
list Dunlap furnishes. AS Dunlap aims
at Hon. Ben T. Cable among others
in this proceeding il is of something
more than passing interest to Rock
Island county democrats. The fact that
in the selection of delegates at large
Hon. \. w. Lawrence was chosen as
the direct representative of Hearst
instead of Dunlap himself was bitter
pill TO the latter. and he has been try
ing to get even with somebody ever
since the state convention was held
in the vote OF the committee of the
state convention to select delegates at
large. Mr.. Dunlap received the lowest
number OF votes among the five from
which the four were selected. Mr.
Alschuler was given the highest num-
her of votes. Mr.. Cable being next.
then Mr.. Lawrence and then Mr. Hop
llins. Mr.. Dunlap being left at the
poll On this account he is aggrieved.
and hence his present move.
And right here let il be suggested
that if Mr.. Dunlap had devoted himself
more assiduously to advancing the in
terests of his chief in the campaign
in Illinois preceding the convention,

The Duty of Officers.

II is a favorite trick with public
officials TO say that complaints of VIC,
lations of law rest upon the private
citizen equally with the official. Ono
of the best responses to this effort
to avoid responsibility comes from
recent decision by Justice Grant of the
supreme court of Michigan. In that
decision he said:
Il want 10 tell you right here that
the next time a law officer says it is
not his business to make a complaint
and tells you that if you will sign the
complaint he will set the machinery
in motion, you can assure him il is
not the duty of the private citizen to-
do this. II is not safe for any private
citizen to attack three kinds of law
breakers-keepers of houses of prosti-
tuition, gamblers. and liquor dealers
who sell unlawfully. The suppression
of their illegal business is not the
concern of private citizens. If they
are active in this direction they may
have their houses burned down or be
subject to assault; but they dare not
assault the officer because he repre-
sents the majesty OF the law. Every
police officer has the power of govern
ment behind him. and lawbreakers
know that if they kill the officer they
never can kill the office: that as soon
as an officer is out of the way there
is another in his place. Law enforce
ment is what you pay the officers for
and it is their duty and not a private
citizens
sense. An officer is chosen to attend
to specific duty, and when he waits TO
have a private citizen 10 make COM
plant he is either a coward or a shirk

Governor Herrick of Ohio, is now
leading bucolic existence on his farm
near Sullivan. in Ashland county.
Immediately on his arrival there he
settled down to a farmers life in ear
nest. Downing a broad brimmed hat
of coarse straw, the kind bought for
10 cents in a country store, and pair
of blue overalls, he did the chores and
other small jobs incidental to a farm
hands work. One delegation of farm
ers discovered the governor sitting on
n rail fence eating a red apple, feast
which he prefers to the most elaD-
crate banquet. He passed apples
around and then discussed various
topics with his callers. This is the
place where the governor spent his
boyhOod days and where he first knew
the little country girl who is now Mrs.
Myron T. Herrick.

Says the New York World: McKin-
ley's admonition that we must not
repose in fancied security that we can
forever sell everything and buy little

convention. Mckinley was long ago
out-McKinleyed by his party. If he
were alive he could have had no stand
ing in the Chicago convention. Pos
sibly he would have been denounced
as a free-trader-a Cobdenite at the
very least. The thing to do is to

Difficult Operation.

A very difficult operation for gall
stones was performed on Mrs. John
Goodman, of Center township, at DR..
Laytons operating room in this city last
Thursday, by DR.. Layton, assisted by
Drs. Bowman, Foxworthy and Eiker.
When the operation was performed it
was found that the patient was in very
bad shape, her intestines having adj
hered and she was also suffering from a
small tumor Of the liver. The operation
was successful, but the patient was
suffering from an acute attack Of
Bright's disease, and this caused her
death, she passing away Tuesday after
noon. Mrs. Goodman was lady Of
most estimable qualities and there was
no one in all Center township who was
greater loved by her neighbors and
friends. The bereaved husband and
family have the deepest sympathy of all
in their bereavement. The funeral will
d held this afternoon at o'clock from
the family home.

repairs and remodeling, a two story
addition having also been built on the

of the best dollar day hotels to be
found in the state, and Landlord

cuisine is splendid and much better
than most two dollar hotels. The Park
Hotel is getting to be a favorite stop
ping place for people who come to Leon
