Cannon, who will in all human probability be elected Speaker of the llouso of the Fifty-eighth Congress, has the distinction of having served longer in the lower legislative chamber than any of his thirtyfour predecessors. The Eighteenth Congressional District of Illinois first sent him to represent it at the National capital in the year that General Grant de feated Horace Ureely for the Presidency, and he has done so continuously ever since, with the one exception of the Fifty-second session, '90 to '92, when he was made to stay at home by a Democrat named Busey. His election to the next highest office under the government will be the realization of a long cherished ambition with Mr. Cannon, and an honor which has been won through exceptional services. He was.born at New garden, near Guilford Courthouse, in 1836. He went to Indiana early with his parents, where he received pnly a common school education. At fourteen he hired out as a clerk in a country store, and five years later began the study of law. Deciding that there was not much honor for a prophet in his own country he concluded to go to Douglas coun ty, Illinois, to begin his practice. That iirst year in his profession, 1858, was pretty hard pulling for the future Speaker ot the llouse, and there is no denying that he would have come to actual want if a friend had not stood for his hoard bill. It was not in the young lawyer's make up, however, to allow difficulties to daunt him. By hard work and untiring perseverance each succeeding year saw his inlluence broaden and his practice enlarge. With his inborn aggressiveness he was soon identified with his party's politics and in 1801 he was elected State's Attorney, a position he held un til 18GO. 11 is experience as counsel in cases of every conceivable a.._:? a.. c . - uuilll^ U1USB lUUl'ICt'I] }Oar*i before lie became a member of Congress in 1872, undoubtedly fitted him for the useful place lie has filled there. Mr. Cannon is one of the oldest and ablest veterans in public lite ?indeed, he will he the oldest man who has ever occupied the Speaker's chair. Through all of his long career his bitterost enemies have never been able to connect his name in the remotest way with any scandal. He is a rough and tumble fisrhter ; in debate he is not choice in the use of his adjectives, but he has a keen illect, unimpeachable honesty, and a character of sterling worth, lie is well known as one of the most conservative members of the House. As Chairman oi l the Appropriations Committee he | has had control of the supply I bills, and with so jealous caro has he watched the proposed expen uilUtOa tlj?'?l be has luiiCn heir to ^ TERP RUARY ii, IQ03. the late Mr. Ilollmau a sobriquet, "the watch dog ul the Treasury." Famine in Sweden. Extreme destitution prevails in northern Sweden. The Gelivare, North Sweden, correspondent of the Chicago Tribune sayp: "Here in this desolate, frozen region thousands of human beings are face to face with actual starvation. Seventy thousand ycieuiiH are living on less than famine rations. If relief sup plies should slacken even temporarily thousands would die of hunger. There are in this district, 500,000 head of cattle, horses and sheep. These animals could, of course, be slaughtered for food, but with i,he live stock gone the condition of the people would be hopeless for years to come. It is estimated that $1,000,000 will be needed to keep the people alive until the new harvest is reaped next August, and to purchase seed for spring planting. The Swedish government is facing the problem resolutely and will buv and im port seed if enough can be found raised far enough north in America to ripen in the high altitudes of Sweden." Better Than 6o!d. "I was troubled for several years with chronic indigestion and nervous debility," writeB F. j J. Green, of Lancaster, N. II. I "No remedy helped me until I began using Electric Hitters, which did me more good than all the medicines 1 ever used. They have also kept my wife in excellent health for years.

Not many years ago it was unlawful for members of the legislature or State officials to accept a free pass from a railroad; now there is a bill pending belore the legislature to require railroads to give tree transportation to State and county officials. Why they should be required to do so, does not appear, and the proposition on its surface seems to have no, more to commend it than a bill to require merchants to supply! this class with tree groceries, clothing and other necessaries, and the dispensay or bliud tiger to chip in tree booze would have. ?Kershaw Era.
