Oood Legislative Nominations. The old reliable Chicago Evening Journal has the following to say of the Legislative nominations in this Dis­ trict: toTbe Republicans of the Senatorial District which embraces the enlight­ ened and progressive counties of Lake. ; MoHenry and Boone, have made for­ tunate nominations. The term of Mr. Curtiss, of McSenry, the Senator from that District, will not expire until two years hence, and therefore no Senator will be chosen this year. For mem­ bers of the Houte. Hoe. C. £. Fuller, "the young man eloquent" of Boone county, and Charles A. Partridge, of Waukegan, have been nominated. Mr. Fuller has had abundant Legislative experience In both Houses, and was the acknowledged leader on the Re­ publican tide of the House. He Is a man of ability and courage. Captsln Partridge, late editor of the Wauke­ gan Qazetto* is personally popular, politically "sound as a gold dollar,*' and well posted on the great interests of the State. Ht Is of the style of men who are fitted for the pnbllc eervioe." Hi Polities and Politicians of Illinois In a recent work of the above title, by Hon. D. W, Lusk, published at Springfield, Illinois, the author has the following to say of the Legislature of 1886 "In point of ability, tbU Legislature compared very favorably with Its predecessors Is both the Senate and the House. In the Senate the Demo­ crats were particularly fortunate in having an array of able minds, and In some respects the remarks are true of them in the House but In neither body did any one man develop as their lead­ er. as was the oase on the Republican aide. While there were mauy men of ability on the latter side, yet the leadership was oonceded to Charles E Falter, and it is no flattery to him to SSf fibs* he sustaiced himself ably and well In every conflict with the oppos­ ing forces, and after tne seating of ^ Weaver and the election of General Logan, the Republicans being In the majority In the House, he would have besn chosen Speaker but for hie own advioe in opposition to making any sbaage In the organization of the , House, Mr. Haines however, re cog oised the right of the Republicans to ^ew>troi, ssd voluntarily yielded the f$Nlr to Mr. Fuller whenever the Re "fi Kir® V' f• i\ -r V ' _ WtQmtSm thst durief the #ii|i paassgs of the eleotlon bills, and tbs greater portion of the time durleg the last weeks of the aessiea, whea most of the real legislative work was accomplished. Mr. Fuller oooupled the oh sir, and was the virtual Speaker of the House, At the olose of the session Mr. Graham, Democrat, of Maoon, pre­ sented the following resolution; Besolved. that the members of the Thirty-fourth General Assembly re urn to Hon. Cbarles B. Fuller our hearty tbanks for his courtesy while tot in* as Speaker, and for the sucoess tul despatch ef the bulnesa of the House." Cause of Earthquakes^ The modern theory of tiirtte- quakes. now set forth by major Powell, of the United States geological survey is that the cooling of the material within the earth and the oousequent contraction of tha surrace of the globe ISGtll In progress. When the vast volume of molten matter, that hap <ince become the Inhabited world, first began to congeal, the process wee rapid and changes were accompanied by tremendous demonstrations of force which raised aloft mountains. The process, however. In the course of myriads of ages, has become slower and milder, ana only on rare occa slons Is attended with the display of great force and with destruction In conse queue*, The most Interesting fact .tommunloated by Major Powell, is the announcement that there is a line of displacement and weakness in the crust of the earth reaching from Charleston, S. C., to Troy, N. Y., and hat along this line geplogic changes ire now taking place with startling rapidity. The line of this displace ment, however does not extend deep into the earth, and thus far no volcanic vents have been established. The Inter-state Industrial Expo­ sition of Chicago Is now open for Its Fourteenth Con­ secutive Annual Exhibition. Like every other good thing in the growing West, it is larger, better aud more Im portant In Its main features thsn any which have preceded it. The display of processes of manufac­ ture, including two exhibits of silk looms In operation, and many other hings of attractive novelty in me­ chanism. has never been surpassed. Tbe Art Halls are filled with choice examples fresh from tne studios of one hundred and twenty-five promi­ nent American artists. Almost ever? painting Is a gem, and all were selected by tbe celebrated artist, Mr. Wm. B. Beard, of New York. The Natural History Department Includes tbe entire collections of the Chicago Academy of Science" and those collections include some ef the most remarkable specimens In tbe world. Tne specimen of tbe elepha* prirmqeniut or "hairy elephant," just added and mounted, was discovered In Spokane Co.. Washington Territory, and has no rival In any of the great museums pf Europe unless It may be one in St. Petersburg procured many years ago In Siberia. The Department of furniture. House­ hold Decor&tio 1. Personal Ornaments and Textile Fabrlca are oomplete and filled with all the novelties known to the ssversl Industries tbsy repre­ sent. It has never been the purpose of this organization to simply amuse the public or to enrich Its stockholders, but rather to educate and inform those who desire to keep abreast of the progress of the world In all tbe the great lines of human activity. la 1885 the average daily paid at­ tendance for forty days was 8,463. This year It promises to be even larger and the exhibition will certain­ ly well repay all who visit It. All transfortion lines make reduced fats*. Ohlntu Prortrta A man without constancy cannot be either a wizard or a doctor. Even if it did not effect a cure, the relief given by tbe use of Plso's Rem­ edy for Catarrh would be worth many times Its oost. He wbo offends against heaven bss none to whom he can pray. If a man keeps cherishing bis own knowledge, so as continually to bs so- quiring new, be may be % teacbsr of others. Incipient coughs often lead to Con­ sumption, therefore take Plso's Cars in time. If a man take no thought of what Is distant, he will find sorrow near st hand. Learning without thought Is labor lost; thought without learning is per­ ilous. Looking at small advantages pre* vents great affairs from being accom­ plished. One rackage of Plso's Remedy for Catarrh contains three months' treat­ ment. It is also good for Cold in tbe Head, Headache, Ac. Price 60 cents. Tbe doings of the supreme heaven have neither sound or amell. The mechanic who wishes to do his work well, must first sharpen hla tools. The superior man bends his attstt- tion to what is radical. To see what is right and not to do it, Is want of courage. Virtue Is uot left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors. When a cough disturbs your rest at aight, a dose of Plso's Cure will give relief and enable you to sleep well. When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them. When you know s thing, to bold that you know In; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that yon do not know It;--this Isknowledgs.
