Chicago Parks.

Nearly the entire attention of the legisla-
ture at Springfield is now absorbed in the
question of Chicago Parks. Chicago wants a
600 acre park on the north side, west side,
and south side Of the city, besides grand
toulerarde, or bullworks," as the Times calls
it-mcaning wide street or drive, extending
around the whole city, connecting the differ
ent parks. All this would seem to be no
bodys business outside of Chicago, if her
people can buy the land for the parks and fix
them up to suit themselves. But here is
where the gazelle comes in Between the
Central Railroad track and the lake shore
along the eastern front of Chicago south of the
river is wide strip of shallow water, covering
good many acres, which, at comparatively
small expense, can be converted into excellent
building lots Anybody that could raise the
money would willingly give a million of dol
lars for this strip of shallow water and make
town lots of it. Now what the park schemers
are driving at is this: to have the legislature
give them this strip of shallow water, let them
make lots of it, sell the lots for millions of
dollars, and use the money to fix up their
south side, west side and north side parks and
grand "bulworks." 1t unfortunately occur
red to an unsophisticated legislator that if the
state owned this land sufficiently to give it
away, why did thestate not own it sufficiently
to sell it for something like what it is worth
And that's why the Chicago spectators are in
such a peck of troubles about their parks In
short, that's what's the matter.

eles ls.wlessly destr Dyed. He was charged
with the shocking crimes of rape and
murder combined. But the officers OF
justice had perforuaed their duty, and
had him safely inc!srcerated in jail to
await the vengeance of the law, in case
his guilt was established according to its
forms. There was not the least necessity
that the defendants shonId interfere after
the criminal had been secured and dis
ARMED of eli power of re sistauce, or OF
iii ght, and shed human blood, even OF q
slave, without trial or condemnation. 1t
the slave was guilty Of the crimes i'm
puted no punishm, snt would have been
too severe. But no man, bond or free, is
to be condemned or punished without
hearing, fair aud impartial trial There
is neither vslor nor patriotism In deeds
like these. Not We lor, because there is
no contest-the victi m is already in bonds
and harmless; nor patriotism, because
the country has pro vided for the proper
and legal punishm snt of offenders, aud
needs not the aid of mobs and lawless
combinations to weld the sword of JUS
tice or quicken its stroke. No matter
how great the male fa ctor may be, whose
life is thus takea wi thout law, feeling
Of insecurity and larm pervades the
whole community " ben one of these
Shocking deeds of vio lence is perpetrated.
No man can tell Whit unfortunate con-
currenee of circumst, noes may raise the
storm of popular fury against him, though
be may be innocent, aud bring destruc-
tion upon him il thesIe examples are to
be tolerated. All good citizens, every
one vhe values his own safety, or has
any regard for law and order, should
unite in rebuking, in ali proper modes,
these outrages upon thu lives Of men and
otsstructions Of the course Of law and jus
tiee. The courts and jrries, public efi-
GERS and citizens, should set their faces
like flint against popular outbreaks and
msbs in all their forms.
