Belva; and when England sends a fleet •gainst us we will go to the sea-coast and sing songs till they come up to the shore, shed tears with contrition and copiousness, and gracefully surrender." t0"E. M, Haines is sadly reminded of the decline of his greatness as he fcaunts the corridors of the Leland ho­ tel almost unnoticed and unknown. Two years ago he was able to keep the State In a turmoil for fivtfl' months because he happened to hold the bal­ ance of power in the House and find fools enongh on the Democratic side oT tbe House to elect him Speaker. Now Ills Mephistophelean countenance may be seen dodging In and •nt of either house, and eo one stands ready to renew the proposition to buy 910,000 worth of his useless books. He begins to doubt the truth of his own maxim that Mno rights •hill be lost."--Spring field Journal, a^In an interview with a reporter at Washington, Senator Cnllom is re­ ported to hare expressed the opinion that there was nothing In the Inter- State Commerce Law to prevent rail­ roads from paying in transportation for services rendered by newspapers or other business people. It would be perfectly proper, be thought, for rail­ roads to keep an accoiint of the adver­ tising they received, or services ren­ dered for them, and to pay for sueh benefits in passes If the parties on the other hand were willing to accept them. The following on the same subject is given out with an air of au­ thority through tbe railroad oolumns •f tbe Indianapolis Journalr Within a few days several «f the roads will iuue circulars stating on what conditions newspaper men will be entitled to transpor­ tation. All passes will be vtithdrawti, and one-tb«aMoa-mil« tickets issued Instead tor the piraaant of advertising The issuance of antflittM<lt*tsaea pSfMes will tint be per»n ted. Ail transportation to news be to men actually engaged in tton ot a paper or employed in no otfier than r men to he publica newspaper work, and in payment for •s, thejpeyment for which shall be at a fixed rate. Tickets of this kind will be itsued to weekly papers on the basis of ene for ev ery Ive hundred copies circulated weekly in payment for the publication of the com pa- ny s aurertisement, and to daily papers, one eaoh to the editor, publisher and manager aad their wives, and six to editors and re­ verter* tec papers oi ten thoasand emsis- Coin Certificates. Both gold and silver certificates eontibue to be Issued in increased quantifies. By Saturday's statement of tbe United States treasurer these forms of money In circulation has reached tbe highest point yet attain­ ed. Of gold certificates there are nearly 199,000,000 and of silver certifi­ cates more than 9126,COO,000 outstand­ ing. The one and two dollar silver certificates are being issued at the rate of about tl50,Q0t per day. Tbe in­ crease In the amount of coin represent­ ed in circulation by certificates Indi­ cates the preference of the people for paper money. Not only Is the certifi­ cate more portablo and convenient but the wear and tear on the actual coin in circulation is avoided. Before long both gold and silver will doubt­ less almost totally disappear .from cir­ culation. Certainly the rapid increase •f coin certificates in circulation Indi­ cates this. .. HON. CHAS. K. FVLLRK, the following to say of the Hon. Chas. E. Fuller, member of tjjgj House from this Distriofc: "Charles Sf, Fuller, Of Belvldere Boone County, is the acknowledged orator ot the Legislature. Next to him on L In O / vmA « * A A A K T A A N N A ] I N tiuug* ft. 15. lire en, Due tbese two are head and shoulders above all their col­ leagues In matters of eloquence and oratory. Mr. Fuller is a lawyer thirty- eight years of age. and has been prac­ ticing at the bar since 1870. He has received his training as a speaker at the bar chiefly in criminal practice, in which, in Boone county he is without a peer. There is something very char* acteristic of the man in Mr, Fuller's general appearance and manners. He is of medium size, tall, slender, of a high nervous temperament, with large keen dark eyes, and a luxuriant growth of soft, flowing hair that falls back from a large, expressive, beard­ less face that is always mantled by an expression of intense earnestness. A stranger might reasonably take him for a tragedian of the Booth order. Those of the Herald readers who have 9een Rev. Dr. Lorimer, of Chicago, have seen some phases of Mr. Fuller. If the former were lighter in complex­ ion,"and surcharged with double the vital energy and nervous tension which he po9sesses, the two would resemble each other in more than outward ap­ pears ices. Mr. Fuller is regarded to some extent as the leader on ^the Re­ publican side of the house. He has had considerable legislative experi­ ence, having served four years in the Senate, and is now serving his third term in tbe House. He was tbe caucus nominee of his party for speaker, against Mr. Haines in the Thirty- fourth assembly* and made a good race for the speakership upon she or­ ganization of the present House. He is frank, open and genial in everyday life, but his speeches are always void of humor or wit of any sort. He forg­ es ahead on the broad groand of logic, with a flow of words powerfully spok­ en in a clear, ringing, musical veice. With him there is no hesitancy, no waiting for ideas or baiting for words with which to express them, but a steady, ceaseless flow, ringing out like tbe tones of a great sliver bell. He is probably conscious of this, and his evi­ dent pride is somewhat flattered thereby* Mr. Fuller is one of the most ambitious young men In the bouse, and from bis point of view no doubt sees in the vista of his future political life landmarks of distinction. Beckoned forward by these honorable "castles in the air," and stimulated by a love of polities, be has entered upon a polit­ ical career to which he is devoting bis best powers " county and state aforesaid, of the amount of the '2!Uh day of March, 1887, g'howiinir™ the amount of public funds on hand <t the com. menccmcnt of said fiscal year, the amount of public funds received and from what sources received, the amount of public funds expend- ed and for what purpraes expended, during caid fiscal year, ending as aforesaid.

Wherever It is possible they are found working with tbe Demo­ crats. In New York where the Re- pablicas* are working heroically in the legislature to pass a high license law to further restrict the traffic tbe Prohibitionists are working more fiercely than the Democrats to defeat it. It is said that in Mlchigau where Hie Republicans in tbe Legislature Succeeded in submitting a prohibition amendment to the people upon which they are soon to yote, the Prehibitien leaders ar« secretly werking against tbe amendment on tbe ground that It -J* a Republican measure and very sure to injnre their party. We are quite «Sure that Prohibition will not be a Success as long as it is made a party tneasure. When the temperance men ®f both parties will unite to enforce prohibition, not as a political measure, but as one of moral reform, It will suc­ ceed. Just now it is used as a foot-ball by all parties for mere party advan­ tage. Demagogues who have railed '"«t everything else spring to the front •f the Prohibition ranks and shout themselves hoarse te secure the sup­ port of fffeod and sincere temperance iMtt.
