Mi LT>AY, MARCH 11, 1885. VAItiLTKE. Editor. " Th« Circuit Judgeship. : While |( hM bee i well known that there were three Judges to be elected l«i ibis Oircnlt, comprising the Coun- ' He* of Kane, Kendall. DuPage DeKalb, Bonne, McHenry and L*k«. as far u tills County was concerned but little Autside talk bas been made, although It ! fcas been generally known that Judge ? B.N. Smith, of Weodstock, was a can­ didate. LaU week tho Harvard Inde- pendent opened the campaign by nall- • lug their colors to the mast and an- /, flouncing Judge Smith as their choice. Since the issue of the Independent with the above announcement. the question has been repeatedly asked us ••what Is the PLAINDEALER going to do?" and right here we will aiswer: In the first place the PLAINUEALKR has no 'bow," and no man except the name Hrhich appear* at the head of this col­ umn, has a right to dictate what shall »r what shall not appear in its columns. And while we have and shall continue to oppose and expose political rolten- nefs wherever found, we do not believe that -everything is rotten in Den­ mark.'* The defeat of the Republican ; ; |nirly at the late Presidential election was cnused by petty personal spite and . ^ickerings within our otfti party, and •rhere sucb things can be honorably and amicably adjusted we believe it the duty of every true Republican to *ork to that end. , With this view, and be.ieyiag that frcHenry County it honestly entitled !• one of the Judges to be elected, and that there Is no man within her bord- fr» more capable, nor who would fill lite position with more honor to him- £ »elf and the people, the PLAINDEALKR will support and earnestly urge the nomination and election for Circuit , Judge, of HO». B. N. SMITH, of H Woodstock. As soon as the Convention is called we shall have more to say on this question. Rally on the renter. Tho Forty-eighth CongreM. lltaf halted for » time in the p.ith of tlie rising tide of popular feeling in favor of justice to Generiil Grant, turned in Its last hours and ran with the waves. With the world listening in Indignation and pity, with the people all over the United States lending in sympathy toward the old commander atul de mandlng as with one voice that justice be done him. Congress put quick ham! to the work, and it was do» e. as it onght to have been done months ago. in a whirl of enthusiasm. Practically the passage of the Ed­ munds hill may not b» of much benefit to a man marked for l'ie ghtve, but it will be like ineen^e burden in his sick room to remember tliV- the vote was as it was and that th« upp'aiise* in the Senate chamber over the announce­ ment of the result was echoed around the world. It w.-n most fitting that a Democratic House should tike action as it did yesterday, and give the last of the line of Republican Presi­ dents the opportu lty to approve a measure so near to the hearts of the people. In thi* cast* there was no mistaKlng the trend of popular sentiment, and there are times when the most fool­ hardy of partisans realize t'iat the people tuu'n rule. In the vote of March on the Giant bill the people had their way and the members of the House scampered into line to give ex­ pression to an emphasized popular demand. It was to the Forty eighth Congress the last'grand rarlly on the center--on the old flag and the old commander. And it will never be for- gntten.--Inter Ocean. •F HOB. Goorge Kirk, of Waukegao. has been appointed by Governor O 'lcsby as one of tho three Commis­ sioners to have charge of)the work of completing the State Capitol at Springfield. This is an excellent ap pointment. f9*Tbe Warfield Record says that ' Mr. Cleveland will be like Jepiba, in the sternness with which he will keep Ids promises." The Record does not say whether, like Jeptha's daughter, he will go up and down the mountains "bewailing" for the reason she did, (See Judge, chap, xi., v. 37.] •QT The St. Louis Olobe Democrat in gMng a short sketch and portrait of Representative men at Springfield, has the following to say of the Hon Chas. E. Fuller, of this District: "This is one of the ablest members ot the House. He is well equipped for his position as leaJer of the miaority party in the House, being a thorough parliamentarian, a fluent, forcible speaker, and the only man on the Re pobllcun side who can talk, the Speak blind. Mr. Fuller is seldom seen in his seat during the proceedings. Ever watchful of the interest ot his pferty he attacks and puts on record every unjust and arbitrary ruling made by Mr. Haines, the Speaker, and Incites his brethcrn to resistance by his strongly aggressive manner. Mr. Ful­ ler was the Republican candidate for Speaker, aod was defeated by the de­ fection of Eugene Sittig, a Republl can member from Chicago, He is from Belvidore, Boone County. 99* Washington correspondents ap- pear to agree that Cleveland's course thu? far Is giving anything bat sat­ isfaction to leading Democrats Washington. First, they dislike his allege subserviency to the Albany ring, as they call it, presided over by Daniel Manning. The choice of Judge Endicott of Massachusetts U also look­ ed upon with disfavor. Some of the senateral ring regard him at no better than a mugwump, That Lamar was selected for a place creates much op­ position. A southern Democratic congressmen grow's because there fs a prospect of depleting the party's side of able men in the senate in order to fill the cabinet. "Are there not good men outsider" exclaims the growler, naming Mcponald, Thurmae and others. There are also other . grounds of complaint stated on the part of prominent Democrats at the national capital. There it undoubtedly fun ahead. From The Springfield Jmarital THIS STATU FINANCES. We have been shown two documents connected with the finances of the State, which are noteworthy, both on account of the facts which they pre­ sent so greatful to the pride of Illi- noisans, and the large sums with which they deal, i'he first of these is the certificate of the Auditor of Public Accounts of the State of Illinois, show­ ing the amount of State funds which, at the close of business on the 30th day of January, 18S5, should be ir> the vaults of the state Treasry. The sum was reported as follows: State revenue fund State school fun'1 ..i......... . 4^U,340.8I Unknown and minor's heirs.... ... 10,514.75 Delinquent tax fond ... Local bond funds. $41,(&5.73 Total ............f 8,1-21,362.34 The other document is the final re­ ceipt given to ex-State Treasurer (now Lieutenant Governor) Smith by successor, Hon. Jacob Gross, on the av sump ion by the latter of th& position of State Treasurer. This document acknwledges the receipt on the 2d day of February of $3,121,262.34, being the last day's count of the funds deposited in the Treasury, The count for the several days during which it was in progress, was as follows: January 30, 1835,./ f 800,000 90 January 31, 1S8$ .. l/Mo.no 00 February 2, 18854 .. 1,121,••><>> 34 Making a total of 13,121,262,34 This sum corresponds exactly with the sum said by the State Auditor to be in the Treasury at the close of business on the 30th of January, show ing the complete accuracy with which the accounts In these respective offices are kept. These documents show the excellent condition of our State Treasury and fidelity with which the Interests con fided to the hands of Gen. Smith, late State Treasurer, have been guarded They constitute a diploma which lie will hand with pardonable pride down to his posterity, while they justify the confidence which the people have mauife6ted in him by twice electing him to this responsible position, and finally promoting him to the second place in the gift of the people of the State. MP* Will Mr. Cleveland prove a lead­ er of bis party? Or will his party Insist on driving Mr. Cleveland? It seems significant that the only positive opinion respecting an Important mat­ ter of national policy which he has put forth since his election to the Presi­ dency should have been opposed by more than two thirds of the Democrats •oting.upon the question In Cengresc, and supported by nearly two thirds of the Republicans. Mr. Cleveland wrote a letter to Congressman Warner, ot Ohio,expressing the opinion that the excessive coinage of silver dollars shoold be stopped without delay. In accordance with his opinion and ap­ parently as a result of this letter, the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill was reported to the House with a provision empowering the President to suspend, tlie oetaage at h!s discretion. This f>ro?islon, when brought to a vote, was ost, 149 votes to 118-64 Republicans and 54 Democrats voting for it, while 83 Republicans and 116 Democrats voted against it. Verllv, this looks to and as though Mr. Cleveland is going prove toe leader or his opponents, the oponent of his friends. We regret that In this ease the Republicans did not (* nU4 Md oarrj hit measure •9* A contemporary, in a sensible article In defense of the practice of a wife using the full name Of her hus­ band. say I that she has a ri/ht to any distinction attached to it." as in the case of Mrs. James G.

KEW ORLEANS EotTott PLA I NDK.A LKU .--Auree ah le to promise I s»*?id von a*brlef account of a small part of what w« saw and heard during our stay in that ancient southern city, where all Nations or the earth have met with their offerings, to for.n a collection of curiosities well calculated to entlje and Interest the teeming million? of the world. The entrances to the( park In which the main moth Reposition building Is placed are on each of the tour sidi s of tlie Park, tlie only navel feature of frhich is that tln» gates are. so constructed that each visitor is compel>»d t pass along side of a desk or table, through whi.'h Is cut a hole larsre enough to ad mit a silver half dollar, the price of admission. Each visitor Is required to make their own change and drop It through this hole in the table in pres elive of an officer standing near eaC i table to see that you don't, drop in a dollar bv mistake. You are then allow- to pass* iu, and in doing so turn the gate, ('hutting oni the person \vho fol­ lows you, until they too deposit their admission lee, tlie officer not being per­ mitted to touch any money, of course not annoyed by Its sticking to his fingers. Once ins]de tlie Park we are atdibmy to--it roll through all tlie buildings and every part of them at our pleasure, provided we kee^ our hands ofl everything we see,.this ndtlce meeting our eye quite "as often as any­ thing else, though quite often disre­ garded, from a desire to examine more thoroughly many of the curiosities. For me to undertake 'to name the multitude, or describe the beauty or magnitude of tlie wonders we found in those buildings would tie too ridicu­ lous to be considered for a moment, et I will tell of a few of the most onderful attraction*. On entering the Government building, we saw spread out before us. arranged in the most artistic, varied and beautifully rand ituT attractive styles, possible for the mind of man to conceive, all the various productions of this great cou itrj*, arranged by tlie several states and territories, of which each had a representative in person, to explain each article exhibited, and all matters of interest pertaining to sai I s'ate and' Its resources. Tlie Northwestern 6tates and terri­ tories have much tho largest exhibit iu agricultural products and minerals. The New Englaud and Middle States excel in arts and manufactures. Cali­ fornia has a wonderful display of fruity dried an.l canned, nuts, an endless variety, vegetable* of mammoth growth, pumpkin weighing 222 pounds, a squash weighing 160 pounds, a bee't 84 pounds and a pear 2| pounds. Her green fruits, grain and wines, also her minerals and big trees are immense, yet she has rivals. Florida has a won­ derful exhibit of fruits and other trop­ ical products. Louisiana^ has a lirge lisplay of sugar in her high monu­ ments, also cotton, fruits, wines, birds aligators and darkies. The latter in endless variety of shade, language and size, in countless nHinders. Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennes­ see, Georgia and Alabama have fine dis­ plays of cotton goods, manufactured from their cotton raised at- home. This part of the exposition is a won­ derful showing, botli of valuables and industries. It has features grand and useful. In this former stronghold of aristocracy and slavery It has set up a new banner, not cotton but labor is king. In the main building we found men and women from all parts of the world, seemingly equally interested ir. one common object, the gratification of their national pride in displaying the marvelous >vorks of their hands as well a3 the wondrous productions of nature from their native land. Of foreign nations Mexico has much the largest exhibit. She'shows a mixture mountain of pure silver weighing 504S> pound?, valued at 8114,000, all iu one piece. An endless variety of leather in eyeryshade or color, -harness and saddles trimmed with solid gold and. silver, costing fabulous sums. C"St'y garments of beautiful texture and colors,gorgeously trimmed, though to us odd shaped, were-among 'he curios­ ities, She excels all nations in her display of variety and beauty of birds. Her exhibit of sugar and costly wood is also large. France makes a great display of fancy glassware, cutlery, cloths, carpets wine, perfumery and jewelry, Australia shows her immense nug­ gets of pure gold as they were origi nally found, three of which 1 noted the value, to-wit: *41.882,83, $31,512 and $21,481. and many others of great valu". But I find my article is getting too long and must stop here, and unless some alder pen than mine should de scribe through your columns the re­ mainder of (he curiosities exhibited, possibly I will uiention a few of them next week.

Because it rans ONE HORSE LIGHTER than any other plow made. Because the plow is CARRIED, GAUGED AND GUIDED by the use of three wheels. liccause the plow is IN FRONT of the driver. Because the weight of the driver Is OVER THE FURROW WHEEL, adding but little to the draft, but keeping the plow down to its work.
