FATHTR DAIHRU'g CHURCH.

Hundreds of our citizens who heard Faith
er Daimen, at St. Mary's. church, IN this
city, will be interested in reading brief ret
erence to the wonderful accomplishments of
that eloquent and truly great man, which
we copy from the Chicago Times, of the llth,
as follows 0 ~
Some statistics have been lately put forth, with
reference to q church Organization in Chicago,
that are little less than marvellous. Ten years
ago. Rev. A. Daimen, Jesuit, came here from
St. Louis, and raised contribution OF few dol
lars from resident catholics, with which ne ouii
small wooden church on Tweifth ana superb,
streets The site was away out of OF the city land
the section was sparsely inhabited by squatters,
among whom were included some of the hardest
cases in the city. It was only after several
months drumming and persistent personal effort
that the pastor got together congregation OF less
than O hundred.
To-day, on the same site is gothic brick
church, which is the largest religious edifce il
the United States. Its congregation numbers 10
900 and it has connected with it two parochis
schools, one containing over thousand boys, ant
the other very nearly the same number OF girls
The church is popularity known as the "Jesuits
Church." and among catholics, as the "Churcn o.
the Holy Family" The neighborhood is densel,
populated many of the former hard customer
are men of considerable wealth and the congre
CATION has paid for all the vast lmprovem le
which have been butt up by the pastor All TIM
is the work of the same man who started it-keS
A. Daimen. -s.-
Such changes, happening within single de
cade, seem fabulous. They are nevertheless true
and we note them as an evidence of what indivlo
ual energy will accomplish, and as a sample q
what is being done by Chicago in the way OF Dc
velopment. As specimen of individual effort
urban growth, we challenge the production
anything approaching it in magnitude.

JUDGE UNDERWOOD.

A Massachusetts yankee, named Under |
wood, was, during the war, appointed United
States District Judge, for the District of Vir-
ginia. He is radical partizan ofthe mean
est stripe; a disgrace to the bench, and to the
party appointing him. He has just deliver
ed a most ridiculous, partizan charge to the
grand jury, in Richmond. The New York
Herald says it is the strangest mixture OF
drivel and furious nonsense which ever ols-
praeed the bench, and the N. Y. Wortd de
nominees him as bringing shame upon the
entire bench of the country while the Boston
Post says:
| It would be disgraeeful to any other ofhc-
ial, but is perfectly characteristic OF Its auth
| or and in harmony with the demagogue who
uttered it. The Judge is o political specula-
tor-a party charlatan-a fellow who CRIES
| rats" while his mouth Is full OF cheese he
has done thriving business In Virginia by
eonfscating property and benetitting by Its
sale. He lives in an elegant house now, we
believe his wife holds the title) which did not
cost the purchaser one-fourth of its real val
ne. and enjoys other property under similar
} circumstances. Business men In this city
know something of the judges operations
And this is the man who soils the robes he
wears by going into a community that Is
bound hand and, foot by military power
and grossly insulting it-availing himself o
c his protected official position to CRAFTY {
mean and cowardly desire to irritate and an
noy powerless people, Is such conduct be

Was it not the duty of the bench on this oo
casion to speak calmly and candidly and t

THE ROCK ISLAND RAILROAD BRIDGE.

The recent serious collisions with the |
bridge at this point, although only such as
have ever been almost unavoidable during
stages of high water, are directing attention
anew to the absolute necessity for an early
removal of the present structure. Comment
ING on the recent accident to the steamboat
DUBUQUE, the Muscatine Journal says !:
"The accident brings again to the minds OF our
people the firm belief that the Rock Island ralt-
road bridge was built as it is with the object OF
iniurine the navigation of the Mississippi river
1t is this feeling of hostility to the magnlhcent
trade of this river which cut down the appro,
priation for the improvement OF the upper anu
lower rapids We trust that this recent accident
to one of the finest steamers that ever hoated IN
the Mississippi waters win have some effect IN
stirring up western representatives ana western
senators to energetic action and unseihsh votes IN
regard to the improvement OF the rapids. Inc
bridge at Rock Island must come down. mat Is
already provided for, thanks to the energy ana
tact of Hon. Hiram Price. Now let him work
half as theoretically and half skilfully for the
general measure we speak of, and all the hne
towns on the upper Mississippi, besides DaVeh-
port, will more than thank him."
No man in the west has been stronger
defender and apologist for the bridge NUS
ance than Mr.. Price. IF he has changed his
mind, and by his "tact" and "energy' is go
ing to remove it we are willing to give him
credit for it.
We have always opposed this bridge as a
dangerous obstruction, and we have no
doubt that the very men who are now crying
out against it have, for pay, helped keep 1t
in its present position. They defended the
bridge, for a consideration, and now, when
their pay is stopped, they go for removing
it.
We have no doubt, also, that certain west
ern senators and representatives have, tor
consideration, and in the railroad interest
opposed appropriations for the improvement
Of the rapids. We agree with the Muscatln
Journal, in asking these men to go Tor west
arn interests and cast "unselhsh votes" (u'
maid would have been better world IN III
ture.
We are not a little amused to see the ne"
found zeal of all the Davenport paper
against this bridge. They have all apol'
gized for it and defended it, for years. whi'
we have always opposed it. Now they al
struck with sudden enlightenment, an

From the Louisville Germany Anzeiger.
The resalt Of yesterdays election has Civ

called radical puritans, who seek to deceive
the people by means Of cheap phrases of hu-
mainly in order to steal away all the rights
and privileges given us by the constitution,
and to substitute in its place a modern OH
garchy. The much and too often used radi-
cal epithets "rebels" and 4tfriends of rebels
have no further effect upon the good sound
sense Of our population. Our people have
learned by sad experience that behind these
epithets the most dangerous enemies OF the
people are concealed, who, like the rascal

THE RADICAL STAMP ACT.

The Union attempts to smooth up the
odious radical stamp act, and, with very
humble bow to the outraged people, says,
nSome features of the revenue law seem bur-
densome and can doubtless be improved. y
They "seem burdensome," do they? The
Union would have the outraged and swim
died business men think they are not
"burdensome" but only "seem burdensome."
We suppose the Union has the same opin-
ion in regard to the matter that the eel did
about being skinned-"it was nothing after
he got used to TIT only seemed little
hard, at first.
The Union attempts, still further, to break
the force of the outrage committed here, on
Friday, by saying that somebody said Buck
was a democrat! Well, what of it !? Ever
If true. which we do not believe, is the dem
ocratic party responsible for his offensive
conduct in carrying out an odious radlca
law? Here was party, made up of mar
named Munson, said to be a o. s. deputy
marshal; this fellow, Buck, who claimed tt
he in the revenue service and E. Carter
q. S. collector &C., &C., for this county,
Munson is known to be radical OF the rank
est sort; so is Carter-and we have no doub
Buck is also. But whether he is or not
makes no sort of diference-they were al
hunting after technical violations of tn
odious radical stamp act. We presume tn
Union will not claim that the democrat
passed that infamous stamp act, "some fea
lures" of which the Union says, "seem bun
densome and can doubtless be improved."-
That act requires 123 cent revenue stam
to be pasted over the spigot hole of ever
key of beer sold by any manufacturer, and

reason to believe are true, as we have heard
something of the kind before. The public

Mr.. EDITOR: / learn that there are in this
vicinity many chickens dying with the chicken
distemper, disease resembling cholera; and that
in some cases these fowls when attacked with the
disease, have been dressed and taken to market
for our citizens to buy. / think you ought to
