has no monument TO Douglas.
II is true that there is no pile OF
stone or granite raised to commemo-
rate his memory. But the Illinois
Central railroad is a monument that
is greater than any which can be
erected.
The first money paid into the state
treasury by that road was SIS, 75l.5s.
The last published report of money
received from the road was $780,
430.4s. The amount has been con
stantly increasing and will continue
to Increase as time goes on.

A. Douglas showed that love for the

The man of a certain higher property

votes to the one of the first man and
the two of the second man. The priv.
