THE GRiER.HARRiS CASE.

tons Question.

At the July term Of the Aleyandor
County Circuit Court Judge ID. j. Baker.
prcsid.ng David Gr!eg, white Democrat
with Radlca' instincts, was found guilty of
living in an open state of adultery with
Anna Harris, n colorcd woman. The Jury
found the defendants guilty and sentenced
them to six months imprisonment each in
the penitent.ary.
Messrs. L'ncsar and Webb, counsel Cor
the defense, moved the court for new
tsia. Which motion was over ruled. They
then moved in arrest Of Judgment, upon
the ground that the l7l,t section Of the
criminal code OF thi, State Is in conflict
with the Civil Rights bin, which e.tab-
fishes equality of puni'hmcnts as we'll us
of rights between the race; consequently.
adultery between white men and black
women :or RIGA r'rsg, canaot be punished
more severely than adultery between par
ties who belong 10 the same race but diff
ferent sexes. Under the eli ninal code of
this State a discrimination Of punishment
Is made, tine Jaw allowing white man to
live in an open state Of adultery with
white woman Cor less money than with
black one Tn, discrimination, Messrs.
l.. and W. webb is in the case, not heart
and hand, bat for fee claim to be con-
trary to the principles Of the party Of
progress" to the rights of black women
and men, and not to be endured. Judge
Baker, no, being educated up to the high
moral standard of his party ruled against
l.. and W, who took the case up to the
Supreme Court, where it is now pending,
and.will soon be decided, We believe this
is the first case Of the kind tried in Illinois
since the enactment Of the Civil Rights
bill.
THE meat market of Gayer'& Co., at the
corner of Washington avenue and Tenth
street, is one of constitutions Of the city.
1t is not only abundantly supplied with
the best of pork, beef, veal, mutton lamb,
sausage, ETC., but it presents an air OF
cleanliness and order that is rarely seen n
establishments of like character.
Gayer Il Co. have had many years cx-
perience as butchers, and have long ago
learned that it pays best to keep fine meats
and command hrst-class custom. For
choice meats, therefore, cut in a neat and
skillful manner, 80 to "The Peoples, Meat
