 Ais well known how many of the lEs Have refused to continue their in- Surance because they could not feel that this government bureau was being con- aucted in businesslike manner, and how large expenditures have been made in ufforts to get them interested again.

ly smelt no royalty h our carriage" laughed Lincoln one day, as he watch ed from the caboose of laid-up freight train the decorated special Of Douglas flying by.
 On arriving at the towns where the joint debates were held Douglas was always met by brass band and q salute of thirty-two guns@-the Union being composed of tnirty-two etates at that time--and was escorted to the hotel in the finest equippage to be had. Lincoin's supporters took delight in showing their contempt for Douyias' elegance by affecting exceptional sims plicity, often carrying their candidate through the streets on . high and un- adorned hay-rick.
 The scenes in the towns on the ocs casion of the debates werc perhaps never equalled at any ether of the musings of this country. No distance seemed too great for the people to go {; no vehicle too slow or fatigping. The notices at the different meetinks epi- tomized the popular conception of the issues and the candidates. Among the Lincoln sentiments were: Abe. the
 Giant Killer" and the little jingle:
 Westward the Star of Empire takes its way,
 The girls link on to Lincoln, thsir mothers were for Clay" Each of the debates lasted three hours. the speakers alternating. If Lincoln spoke the first he had an hour then Douglas took an hour and half and Lincoln spoke a half hour in c,es- ing. It was by the wit. sound sense and good hurnor of his immediate half. replies that 1t was consider | H AR eel ef Douglas. At first it Is said Douglas attempted to confuse and worry his | opponent with smart questions, until
 Lincoln, by sharp retorts, put stor | to his annoyance.
 l There is no more interesting read | ing in American political argument l than these debates between the tive great giants. Douglas speeches were most polished in every way, and they | ner. Lincoln's were equally remark. able, if not at all times as brilliant
 but where they lacked in this regpeei | they fully made up in the biting sar. l casm, in the more direct appeal, ant l in the language that every one coult
 understand and from which a serieui
 lesson was to be learned
 The election took place on the 2nt l of November, and while Lincoln re. ceived the popular vote . majority a over 1000, the district was so arrang.
 ed that the republican candidate iat no chance of winning. When thl senatorial election took place in thi legislature, Douglas received 54 an. Lincoln 4S votes-One of the results O

THE usuAL CREST.

Following the presidential election AeFe are always the same number of propositions put forward for changing this thing and that to a different date. At every inauguration, especially when thers happens to be bad spell of wea- ther, a nunber Of plans are put forth for having the inauguration shifted to some other time of the year when there would be less exposure to the elements and when Washington would be in a more attractive dress. It soon subsidies after the ceremony is out of the way.
 There has likewise been much said in favor of changing the date when the newly elected president would take of nce, the idea being to overcome the wait between election and the fourth of March fer the putting into effect of the policies ~hich the people have endorsed and to but an end to those which have been drowned npSn. Such would also bring a fearrangrrnsnt of the congressional ses- sions 90 that the newly elected would bt called into service instead of having the old congress do business after the peo. pie by their votes had named others tc do that work.
 It is for the purpose of bringing about Baeh changes that bin has been pre-. tented in congress seeking an amend. ment of the Constitution of the United states by which the terms of the presi Sent the vice president and the member. of congress would begin the first of Jan. Gary following the election.
 Before any such thing is done there will be no small amount Of discussion There will be thoroughly considered tn reasons for the delay until the fourth O March. the time that is needed by thos, elected to get their affairs in shape tt take up the new responsibilities and tn, time that new administration is enti tied to consider in detail the many de tails that are involved in connection witl . change ot political control It is eas, enough to say that tho Constitution should bs amended here, there and tn Ssher place but that deesn't always meai that 1t would be A wise thing to do whel ev1yth1ne is considered.

AMERICAN Toys

What a hold the toymaking business has gotten in this country is revealed by the statement that fully 30 per cent. of the toys that were sold to the holiday trade were made in this country. That is in decided contrast to 8 few years ago, and can be directly attributed to, the war Like the dyemaking business, that of making toys was given an impetus by the fact that the German toys were cut off during the war. The opportunity for American industry was quickly recog- nized and it was found that American toy makers could do quite as efflciert a job as those across the water, and when 1t IS considered that 50 per cent of the $100, 1000 900 worth of such goods on the market were made here it means . branching out in new lines which indf. cates large possibilities in the future ii this enterprise is given the proper en- couragement
 That Japan has seen the opportunity of picking up some Of the former Ger. man trade is shown by the estimate tfiai | $10 900 900 worth of Japanese toys wer, disposed of by the wholesalers here ol an eighth of the amount put out iron American producers. Toymaking has no been given the attention it deserves il this country because of the competition i has experienced from such countries a. Germany and Japan. The emergenc! provided the opportunity for not onl. demonstrating what American skill coul, do in the way of meeting tho situation but of showing what a chance there wa | for building up such an industry as permanent thing. Not only has the mar ket been satished, as is shown by tn evident preference for American produc tion, but the type, stability and diver sity of American toys have indicated t what an extent the business can be de veloped. Confidence in American toy makers has been established and capita has not been lacking to meet the require Inents.
 As long as foreign competition Is no
 permitted to regain it's former supre macy there promises to be an excellen 1 outlook for the toy making business i
 this country.

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY
THE LINCOLN. DOUGLAS DEBATES

THE LINCOLN DOUGLAS pkSAT ES
 There is,, in the political history of the United States, no incident that IS more striking, nor no contest that has surrounding it more picturesquenesA than the Lincoln and Douglass de- bates in the fall of 1853. The sena- torial term of Stephen A. Douglas, in Illinois, was about to expire, and his party looked to the choice of as many members of the Illinois legisla- ture as would be necessary to return him.
 The democratic state convention in April of that year had endorsed him for another term which was consider ed practically a reelection. The re- publicans at their convention nearly two months later stated; That the Hon. Abraham Lincoln is our first and only choice for United States senator to fill the vacancy about to be created by the expiration of MT. Douglas term of office"
 Not long after the campaign had be- gun Lincoln, through his managers challenged Douglas to joint stump ing tour in the form of joint debates Douglas was reputed to be the abiesi orator in the nation. The challenge was sent by Lincoln on the 24th oi July. On the 30th Douglas finally ac- cepted the proposition to divide time and address the same audiences" nam. ing seven different places, one in eaci congressional district, outside of Chi cago and Springfield, for joint meet ings. The first debate occurred a Ottawa on August 21 and the last a Alton on October IS, and in the mean time both contestants spoke almos every day. and as railroad comrnunica
 tion in Illinois in 1859 was still yer. Incomplete, the debaters were oftel obliged to resort to horse, carriage 0 steam to reach the desired points. Douglas was of the blue stockin l type of politician, and he made hi
 canvass of the state more or less of
 triumphal procession. Lincoln wa
 most democratic, and he never ques toned "how?" just so he got ther, i Douglas always had special car, an sometimes special train, on the Hi
 nois Central railroad. Frequently 1 swept by Lincoln in state. the latte
