REPUBLICAN CLUBS.
[ . Lincoln State Journal ]
Since th election , many of the republican
clubs in the eastern states which did such good
workduringthccampaign huvo tieen reorgan
ized on a more pt'rmaiicnt basis for usefulness
In the future. This is vervgralif.\iiigfrnm a
republican standpoint and the example could
bo followed witli profit In the west. Instead
or having debuting clubs these organizations
could lakothelrplaceaiid proposed legislation ,
state and national , ho discussed with great
houcflr. It Is certainly a mistake to suppose
these clubs have no work to do except during
a campaign. On ilie contrary their lust work
can bo done in the months of political quiet
between campaigns , when the minds of th >
voteis are nmri ; open to mprcssiuus. Theed
iiciitinual work ouii ho carried on totiiobesi
advantage then. Nulmi kn oualit to have a
I irtro number of icpuhlieati clubs on a peruia
mint basis Tortlie next fouryearss. and thet'ap
it.il city club ouaht to lie Hie central orirauiza
ti in for iliostutc. During that tune the party
w.ll lie making its converts and lie huildin ; . -
up in the laiih us old members , preparaior ;
to the great contest , of the next pi evidential
campaign It is lo be hoped Unit rcptihlicnu i
throughout tho Male , particularly the young
republicans of cour.igeatid ambition , will take
hold of this work and push it forward to the
great success that awaits it.
OittaiN of Visiting Caiius Ab is tho case
in many other instances wo owe the invention
of cards to t lie Chinese. So long ago as i he pe
riod of tho Tong dynasty (61s907) ( ) . visiting
cards were known to be in common use in Chi
na , and that is also the dale of ( he introduction
of tho "red silken cords" which figure so con
spicuously on tho engageinont cards of tho
country. From very ancient times to the pres-
ont day the Chinese have observed tho strict
est ceremony with regard to the paying or
vie its. The cards which they use for this pur
pose are verv large , and usually of a linglit red
color. When a Chinaman desires to marry ,
hi-j parents intimate ihe fact to a professional
' 'matchmaker" who thereupon runs through
the list other visiting acquaintances , and se
lects one whom the considers a titling bride
for tho young man ; and then she calls upon
the young woman's pa'nuts , armed with tho
bridegroom's caul , on which aro inscribed his
.incestoral and the eight sj munis which denote
the date of bis birth. IT the answer is an ac
eeptance of nis suit , the bride's card is sent in
return ; and should the oracles prophesy good
coieerning the union , the particulars concern
ing the engagements aie written on two cards
a id these are tied together with the cords.
Thk Illinois bureau or labor has compiled a
t tide of statistics Miowing the extent to whicii
thai state is moitgaged The total value of
the mortgages exceeds four hundred mil ion.
oiu-iliir.i of which represent liens op the lands
alone in Illinois. Stock and farm imp'emeuls
are mortgaged to the value of seven mil'lon
d > llars. and household goods and chattels are
in rtgaged to the sum of four millions. Chi-
c < io is burdened with a huge mortgage debt
exceeding the aggregate value of the mort-
r-iges in the rest of the shite. The interest
alone on ibis huge burden estimated at but
-he percent amounts to over twenty million
iiiiiually. The report of the Illinois bureau i3
valuable in calling attention to the great debt

The evidence which has been produced be
fore the house committee investigating the al

too iluely tor the accu&ed parties. The bulk
of the evidence tended to establish the t. 'utb

the seal islands have been made a pandemoni
