Hcksinu, CU'm. I)em. Com. M. T. Staffohd, Ch'm. People's Com. Forward. Forward to victory" should be the democratic cry from now on until the polls close on Tuesday next. Every thing looks bright and encouraging for democratic success. The pickets all over the county report the enemy wavering and disheartened. Victory can only be lust by leytbary. Therefore democrats and friends of democracy gird up your loins for the final struggle. Present a bold and unbroken front, and all will be well. Not only go to the polls yourselves but See that your neighbors turn out as well, and use your must earnest endeavors to succeed This is the best advice the Argus can give you. If you will follow it there can only be one result a grand and glorious victory for democracy. Qi ite a little talk has been causd by the alleged treachery of Senator Logan. It is said that he. in bis ambitious desire to be the next republican nominee for the presidency, appears to have overstep ped discretion and loaned himself to a scheme which promises to be retroactive in its results. Shortly after the nomina tion of John Tanner for state treasurer, the leading Logan republicans suddenly became lukewarm in their support to this nominee, and have been every since pain fully unconcerned as to his political fate. The Blaine men and Tanner's friends gen erally claim that recent events conclu sively prove that Logan is not only will tng. but positively anxious that the party nominees should be defeated this fall in order that Illinois may be ranked as a doubtful state and Logan's nomination for the presidency assured two years hence. If the Twenty-first senatorial district de.-ircs to be creditably represented in the state legislature for the- next two years, it should elect John T. Kenworthy by all means. He is a scholar, a gentleman and a statesman. His ability and integrity are unquestioned. He has been a resi dent of Itoek Island county since his in fancy, and is knowu and resected by everybody. He is therefore especially wedded to the interests of Hock Island county, and if elected, we could depend upon upon him doing his utmost for this locality. Unfortunately there is a split in his own partv. There is no lack of confi dence iu him; no charge of incompetency or unfitness for the position is made, but the opposition to him arises from the fact that he is a Hock Island county man. The Henry county democracy think their . on lily should be allowed auother term, and were determined to boil any man who should be notniualed by Kocklslaudl county. Personally, the democratic leaders of Henry county are friendly to Mr. Kenworthy, and under other circum slauces would lie pleased to tender him their cordial support. But Mr. Kenworthy has been nomin ated, and lie should, and the Annus be lieves will be elected. He received the nomination fairly and honestly. As the minority candidate of this district, he should receive the vote of every true dem ocrat. His democracy is of that sound and unblemished Jeffersonian character, which always remains unshaken. He has pledged himself on the stump, in case of election, to use his influence against Hie adoption of the proposed revenue system, which has I teen devised by a republican commission appointed by a republican governor. The proposed law is initjuitious in many re spects, and scemes to have been framed particularly for the benefit of railroad corporations. Instead of local assessors levying upon railroad property, as now, it provides for assessing the gross earnings of railroads, which vir tually would allow the railroad compa nies to name the amount of taxes they should pay. Mr. Kenworthy is opposed lo this scheme, and if elected would wage an unrelenting warfaic upon its adop tion. He is an absolutely safe aud relia ble man for the laboring classes to sup port, and he could accomplish more for the cause of labor than a dozen Piatts, Crawfords or Fishers. By all means Mr. Kenworthy should be sent lo the legisla ture. Let all voters of Rock Island coun ty turn out and give him the support be deserves. , , : . T 1 -r--r-- John A.

An important amendment Jo the state constitution ill b voted et at .next week's election, if is as follows: r That hereafter it shall be unlawful for tire commissioners of nj penitentiary. or other reformatory institution in the state of Illinois, to let by contract to any person or persons or corporation the labor of any convict within said institution. The object of this amendment is to do away with the present system of leasing the labor of the convicts to cop tractors. The main snd indeed the only argument in its favor is that it prevents the compe tition of prison with free labor. Both par ties declared in favor of the" movement, and a few months ago it seemed that the amendment would certainly be carried. Lately, however, considerable opposition has been aroused. A committee consist' ing of a number of prominent men, head ed by Senator Southwortu, have issued an address summarizing the objections to the abolition of the present system. They say, first of all. that either the state must assume the place of the contractors, or else the convicts must be supported in idleness at the expense of the taxpayer If the former plan is adopted, the state will be an expense of from f l.OUO.OOO to 12.000.000 at the outset in order to pro vide - machinery, and competition with honest labor will not be lessened in the slightest degree. The second plan of supporting criminals in luxurious idleness at the expense of the already over-bui- deaed taxpayers, is not at present seri ously advocated by any one. The ad dress also shows that there are already nine occupations pursued in the penitentiary at Joliet. In most of these it docs not give more than one work man in one business to an average coun ty. It does not seem that one cooper, one harness maker, or one stone cutter to a county would greatly injure anybody though his goods were given away. It is also argued that if any change from the present system is desirable it can be brought about by legislative enacts ment quite as effectually as a cast iron constitntional provision. In conclusion the address savs: A new burden is to be imposed on tax payers without benefit to any, unless it be to the new officers and agents to le employed. Tax payers have some rights left, and occasions are few where tueir vindication is so plainly called for and so easily applied.

THE LAW A POLITICAL SCHOOL List 'f Concrawmen Who are Lawyer. A Change Taking IMace. The law seoins to lv the preparatory school f imlitical life in this country, though it is not so much so in England. Nearly three fourths of the members of congress hare studied law, aud out of the seventy-six sena tors fifty-seven are put down in the directory is regular practitioners. John Sherman Wpon It is outness life as a lawyer, and Henry B. Fame made his greatest reputation at the lar. The millionaire, Stanford, was a lawyer in Wisconsin, and he would prohablv nver have !een the great millionaire that be is had not his office burned to the ground, and the (in driven him to California. Doth Teller and Bowen are lawyers, though they have made their millions in other ways. Nearly all of the southern men have prac- -ti-ed law, and Joe Brown, of treorgia, got uis start before the lur.' John A. Logan has tritl many a law case, and Dan Voorhees has ?till a large practice in criminal cases. Senator Allison, after he graduated at the Western Reserve college, practiced at the Ashland, O., bar before he went to Iowa. ind the cutting tongue of Senator Ingalls has ?arved tip many a criminal before the Kan- tfis jui h-s. Heck, of Kentucky, is a lawyer, ! Uitl both of the Massachusetts senators have riracticed. thnar D. Conger tried his first law case within fifty miles of Cleveland, and &ot-h Cockrell and Vest are lawyers. George Edmunds is said to make 50,0u0 a year by :he law, notwithstanding his position in the senate, and there is- hardly a senator ot note who has not gotten his first training in a law office It is the same in other branches of political lifp. Th" lower hoase has over UtHI members ! who have Iden lawyers, and its best- men are ihjr who have been engaged in active prac-'!'-e. It U so in the ex'fiitivo departments, nd the rjeutcr proportion of every presi loiitkd cabinet of the past was made up of lawyers, tirover Cleveland is a lawyer; Arthur. Hayes, Johnson and Ijncoln wen' l;;vyers. and so were Buchanan, Fierce, Fill moiv, Martin Van Buren and Andrew Jack on. Tnom;m Jefferson was making $5,000 a yar at t lie law when he was married, and Madi-:ou and Monroe had each studied law Vl'on: t hey got into politics. Looking back 7vr the more prominent statesmen the same fa"', bhows itself. Daniel Webster carried on ii-i law practice dt:ring the whole of his sen atorial career. Henry Clay was a strong ram In-fore a jury, and John C. Calhoun studied law after he left college. People have the idea that Andrew Jackson on au illiterate man, but he had the bulk of die law basinet of Tennessee before he be- vcry proruiaeiit politically, and Tom tVuton was also a practitioner in the Ten-at-ie '-nulls before he went to Missouri The Bayards have been lawyers for generations. Vilas, Garland, Lamar and Whitney are lawyers, and En-licott has been a judge upon he ljcil-h. From the very lieginning of our govern- aient the law has been the step to political preferment, but it will probably grow less so as the eountry grows older and more de rated to business. It used to be that the primary requisite for a congressman was the power cf stump speaking. But the day of the stroking congressman has passed. :iCarpT in Cleveland Leader. At Dinner fVith a Great Han. The proper numlierof guests for a dinner party U a difficult thing to nettle. If they ire men, by far the safer plan is to limit the numiier to four or make it more than a dozen. Six diners are too many to keep in one con versation, and it is difficult to make two sets if talkers out of so small a numtier. If there are a dozen or fifteen, the mon naturally pair irT or pill their chairs about into little groups. ISever ask a great man to dine with small people. I remember a dire failure in the way of a dinner to which I was a party years ago. A college friend gave the dinner and all ten diners, with one exception, were classmates. The exception was an eminent man the young host's uncle. He came to oblige the boy. He ruined tho feast. We were appalled by his dignity, his official greatness and his ponderous t-oiKiescension, and we sat and rognrded him silently instead of enjoying our selves. I am afraid that he was very muck af a prig, too, for his manner was overbear tng in the extreme. Beside, ha called us "U)V8," and what could be more galling to chc college man than thai? His influence over as may be estimated from the fact that when be refused artichokes every solitary of us lid likewise, though they wen a great deh cacy to most of as. As this man acted on oar dinner so is a stranger of any pretensions apt to inftaeoce a dinner of cronies. Aftsr all, the only per fect dinners are impromptu ones, and as for numbers well, -I see a great many gray haired and experienced men of the world dining about town just now, and I have ob served that the number of diners Is alwayi iwaV&ttakh-n Egle. $ & 1 i m S.

Coudert said that the occasion wnf unique in the history of nations. It is a rare thing to have an international festival which does not tell of triumphs written iu blood and of dearly bought victories. This occasion recalled the struggle which closed at York town and in which the French gained noth ing but honor. The inauguration of tht statue of Liberty was nnother chapter in 1h common history of the two nations. A een tury of trials, of progress had elapsed. Tht thirteen colonies hail lieo ine a powerful nation. The speaker alluded to the reverses France sustained in the Franeo-lYissian war. and said that France had recovered her posi tion, though at the expense of a province. The artist who designed the statue was from Alsace, and the goddess comes from Colmar He forgot his grief at his country's lovi, ami gave to the laud of the free the work of hb life. Mr. Evarts addressed the audience in Eng lish. He reviewed briefly the history of tht presentation of the statue by France to tin American nation and the work of the pedes tal committee in erecting the statue. He spoke warmly of the cordial relations exit ing between the two nations, ami expressed the hope that the friendship might ctrntim as long as the colossus should hold alnft'tht emblematic torch of liU-iiy.
