Young Scammon, one of Chicago's most Qoted pioneers, died at Ms residence in that city from a complication of bronchitis, influenza and stomach troubles. Mr. Scammon was in his J^th year and had lived in Chicago since 1B35. »j, „ *8r The resignation of Prince Bismarck |£.y, an ChanceTlor was accepted by Emperor William, of Germany, at noon Tuesday. It is rumored in Berlin that General A on ' Caprivi, commander erf the Tenth Army (r, Corps, will be the new Chancellor. All | . th*» members of the Imperial Cabinet ten- - , dered their resignations simultaneously - with Bismarck. J •. !jr •. & W r B i l l s have been introduced into •7 both houses o!

Theee bills are f ' aimed at the "gerrymandering" sehemes U"' introduced into the legislatures of close States to affect tbe Congressional elec- tions. It will be interesting to note how far these bills will be considered an inter­ ference with Slate rights. _ ffijiwir 'f |®°" Boodlers who propose to escape to f- - lOauada must go quick.

It is that spirit X;',- which makes tbe Democratic party so dangerous. It is everything for party, nothing for the people. ' "* ii (^Chicago is a hostler. She stole the . plum out from the very fingers of New ork. In one respect the effect will be tary. For many years it has been habit of New Yorkers to consider that • there is no city bat their own in the Union. "We look on every place outside , <>f Nee Yawk as the country, you know," been a favorite saying with dwellers in the city by the sea. Now these people tiave heard something drop. It may take some of the conceit out of them to Und there is at least one town in North America besides their own; also that „.,j: %here is a West in this United States, and Si' A great big one. S%: f V* : ' =*= I®*It is interesting to note the Jim Crow antics of the criminal lawyers in the 'Cronin case. During the trial Mr. ,W. S. ^ Forrest fought bitterly against the intro- duction of the secretary's minutes of the ^ v proceedingB of Camp 20 on the evening of j^c Feb. 8th, and he was successful in exclud- > ing them as against his clients. Subse- quently the same minutes were offered by Attorney Foster on behalf of his client pf* Beggs, and admitted, although the jury 1" / was instructed not to consider them as , applying in any way to Mr. Forrest's |gl:V clients. Now, -however, Mr. Forrest H . - wishes to get these minutes into the rec- «,^ ord on appeal to the Supreme Court, and Judge McConnell, with the same weak- Vc^C'- oess he has shown throughout the pro- ^ ceedings, grants his request. • |&"ln his defense of the Associated Press from the attack of Senator Bair, Senator Hawley acknowledged that the New York City papers paid less attention to the proceedings of Congress than those of many new England towns. But his hardest hit at poor old New York was when he said: "If a man wants to get ^ pretty good report of what is done here, be will perhaps take a Chicago paper in preference to a New York paper." The Senator, however, did not explain the reason for this. While the Chicago papers consider the affairs of the nation are worth some little attention, those New York are so busy reporting the do­ ings and speeches of Mr. Chauncey M. Depew that they have no time nor space h» devote to the goings-on of the Nation­ al Legislature. is* On Advertising:. A bright and successful business man has this to say about advertising, y Nothing is high that produces a profit. •ii.iH spending $100 a year in advertising • will cause an increased net profit of 4 1200, it is a magnificent return. My ex- i- perienee is that the ratio is much larger, have tested the matter in every way. began by not advertising at all. Then , tailed sign boards on the country roads, ir They brought in some of the out of town n folks who did not know me before, but did not influence tbe townspeople. I tried handbills, but the distribution was not good unless I sent my own clerks out with theni, and that was too expensive. ] found that though the handbills were cheap enough, the cost of boys' time and the bills together exceeded that of an equal *pace and distribution J>y the news­ papers. Our Member of Congress, From the Belvldere JV&riAicsjfrn. Oar attention was attracted a few days sine to a remark made by one of our citi- «ens to the effect that the present Con­ gress, judging from the report of tbe proceedings of that body, contained less, than twenty-five able mep. Tbe conclusion is far from correct, and a close observer of men and character will readily perceive there are very .many more than that number of able men in the House of Representatives, but they will admit that probably a less number than fifty direct the action and shape the legislation of that great body. But this is not because of their having master minds or greater ability than fifty others, but because they have had years of exper­ ience, and that experience brings states­ manship. The number of men fitted by nature for legislative work are comparatively few, yet a man of good ability can by study, perseverance and close attention attain a high rank and become prominent in the House of Representatives. History shows it to be, a fact that the new members who receive recognition their first and second terms are few in number. The present Speaker of the House is one of those exceptional cases, and the recog­ nition of his ability was the result of his having been put upon the special com­ mittee to investigate the Hayes--Tilden election. The imjwrishable record that Garfield, Thad. Stevens and the late Judge Kelley bequeathed to their con­ stituents. was made in tbe many terms they served their peopie, and McKinley, Mills, Cannon, Carlisle and other great leaders in debate upon the floor of the house to-day, would never have had a na­ tional repntatio® had not their districts returned them term after term. The Southern States have always been strong in Congress because of the fact that they have been careful in the selection of tbeir Representatives, and then they have had the good sense to continue to re-elect them. The state of Maine with her four members wields more influence than does New Jersey with twelve; because the Rep­ resentatives from the former State have been there from three to twelve terms, and have had the experience, and are fa­ miliar with the methods of business. • One of the great republican states shows ite wisdom in the selection of her Representatives, yet because it is an un­ written law that a member shall not be returned after bis second term has ex­ pired, they have never gained any promi­ nence and their state is never heard of in the House. The districts and States whose people would have power in Congress must con­ tinue to return their representatives; particularly when they show at the end ot their second tern) an aptness for legis­ lative work. To do this constituencies must break loose from the foolish idea that a seat in Congress is simply an hon­ orary position which should be awarded the greatest number in the shortest pos­ sible time: that A in entitled to the place after B has served two terms, because of his wealth, social standing, supposed ability, Or for service rendered his party. The conservative course of the North­ west-era on all social, moral and political questions has been in harmony with that portion of its readers who count their in­ dividual interests as subservient to that of the public at large. In questions political in character we have fearlessly stood by our convictions, believing as we do, "that is the best Which produces the greatest good for the greatest number." The 5th District has the distinction of being the stronghold of Republicanism in Illinois, and as such is entitled to have one of its most talented sons represent it in the halls of Congress. That it is so represented to-day is con­ ceded by every voter who has kept close watch upon our present member. Elect- to fill the unexpired term of Hon. Reuben Ellwood, he took bis seat em­ barrassed by the short time he had to serve, and yet, in those few months his record justified his constituents returning him to the 50th Congress. It was in this Congress his marked ability as a legisla­ tor and his devotion to the people he rep­ resented was made manifest. Realizing that one of the great industries of his district was imperiled he drafted the bill, and though the ablest men in the House were pitted against him, he, by his su­ perior knowledge and untiring efforts, had passed the Oleomargerine act which is to-day a law upon our statute books. His qualities as a forcible debater were brought out in this fight, and soon thereafter he became one of the foremost leaders on the tariff question, where his ability was recognized by many of our great newspapers which published his speech in full, and by the Republican Na­ tional Committee, which distributed his speech by tens of thousands in the cam­ paign of 88. Our personal acquaintance witfc the gentlemen is limited to one meeting, and but one letter has passed between us, and that was months ago. We have asked no favors at his hands, and are only un­ der such obligations to him as is every voter in the district who recognizes abil ity, honesty, and a coming man.*11 We are reminded that a Congressional Convention will be called in the near fa: ture to select a candidate for Congres­ sional honors, and we believe we vSiice the sentiment of little Boone and the en­ tire district in placing in nomination, even at this early day, the name of Hon Albert J. Hopkins, his own successor. have been hearingnuieh about a 'plethoric treasury,'" Mr. Peters, a member of Cougress from Kansas, said in his place on the floor of the House of Representatives at Washington, speaking of the appropriations: "Unfortunately, the extravagance of a preceding Demo­ cratic administration has almost entirely wiped out the surplus. When the de­ ficiencies which were created by that ad­ ministration have been provided for, that surplus will have been exhausted. Gen­ tlemen of this House might as well know that for the next fiscal year they wilj be brought face to face with figures showing that the estimated revenues of this gov­ ernment will not equal the necessary ap­ propriations. We have inherited from the last Democratic administration de­ ficiencies sufficient to wipe out every dol­ lar of1 the surplus. It is idle>frrget up here and advocate a public bmlding bill or any other measure upon the ground that we have a 'plethoric treasury' upon which to draw. The facts will not bear out any such statement." 13^* Huxley and Darwin were mighty names a couple of decades ago. But their theories are still theories and noth ing more. The scientific world iH already past them and will soon have left them out of sight. Their popularity is wan­ ing. They themselves have made im portant retraction?. Their illustrations of old and lbBg accepted ideas is about all that is valuable in their works. What was new, novel and startling was mostly a mistake. Their importance as antag­ onists to Christianity is entirely dis- , credited. JSf Occasionally wehearsomeoppdnent of the republican party telling the people that the republican party has ended its mission. The idea is absurd. The repub­ lican party was not the abolition pavty. It was the anti-slavery party. The old abolition party, of which Garrison was thechief leader,ended its mission and dis­ solved its roganizatiou when the great republican, Abraham Lincoln, who never for a moment had any sympathy with the Garrisonian party, sigued the emancipation proclamation and his party put into tbe constitution the great amendments at the close of tbe war. The great republican party was anti-slavery, anti-mormon, anti-free trade and in favor of lands for the landless, homes for the homeless, and the mission of that great party will not end until every man, white' or black,rich or poor, learned or unlearn­ ed, is actually protected by the practical enforcement of the constitution and the law made for his security. The poor white and black man of the south must be, as secure iu his right to vote and to have his vote counted, as the rich man of New York, Boston, Chicago and St. Louis. It must not be mere printed statute book protection but a protection to each man as a citizen that will give him equal polit­ ical power with every other man.--Spring­ field Newis. Subscription Laws. The following is a synopsis of the decisions of the United States courts on the laws governing subscriptions to news­ papers ftnd periodicals. It should be cut out and preserved for reference. 1. Subscribers who do not express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to renew their subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinu­ ance of their periodical, the publisher may continue to seud then until all ar­ rearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the post-office to which they are directed, they are re­ sponsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discontinued. 4. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher and the papers are sent to former address, they are held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that refus­ ing to take periodicals from the office, or removing and lea ving them uncalled for, is primn-faeie evidence of intentional fraud. (i. If subscribers pay in advance, they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue tak­ ing it; otherwise the publisher is author­ ized to se.id it and the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice, with arrearages, is sent to the publisher. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest any one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time unpaid and then orders it discontinued, or orders the postmaster to mark it "re­ fused," and have a postal card sent noti­ fying the publisher, leaves himself liable to arrest and fine, the same as for theft. 5?"The Superintendent of Public In­ struction has compiled the following sta­ tistics from the returns he has received: Number of males in the State under 21 years of age, 859,799; females, 837,221; total, 1,661,020. Number of males of school age, between 6 and21 years, 558,- 539; total, 1,133,867. There are 1,501 graded schools, 10,753 ungraded, or a total of 12,22+ schools in the State. The number of pupils enrolled in the Roman Catholic and private schools is estimated at 100,000 leaving about 270,000 chil­ dren who did not attend any school last year. The total number of teachers is 23,089. Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly tot April, 1800.
