the Brighton and Sussex MEDICAL So

The following letter has been addressed to the
editor OF the London Times in explanation OF the

As an occurrence at the dinner given by the
Brighton and Sussex Medical Society to the Pres-
dent, Vice Presidents and other distinguished mem
severely commented upon in several OF the daily
papers, unfairly rejecting upon the Brighton medi-

truthful statement OF what really occurred.

who was formerly an old college friend OF his,
should have been cast into the shade by the discov

from the merit cast the slightest doubt upon the
success, determination and indomitable courage Of
Mr.. Stanley. Mr.. Stanley, who had but recently re-
turned into the roOm-having left with the Mayor,
after the third toast had been given, to be present
at the theatre-commenced his reply in q
grotesque and humorous strain, expressing
his surprise that he should be called upon
to return thanks when there were visitors pres
ent whose elOquence would rival that OF Demos
themes, Pericles or even their own Daniel webster.
He said, likewise, in jocose manner, that DR.. Lv-
lngst0ne had administered pills. potiOns and
plasters to the natives These remarks were made
with considerable gesticulation, which, If not in
tended, was certainly calculated to excite and en-
courage laughter, and some such feeling may have
naturally been expressed by one or more of the
gentlemen present. but firmly believe with no in
tention Of casting a sneer or onering any disre-
spect to Mr.. Stanley. Mr. Stanley then hastily left
the ROOM saying that he did not come there to be
ridiculed or laughed at. This conduct OF Mr..
Stanley's naturally caused the greatest surprise
and vexation among the whole OF the company, and
his departure was so sudden that 1t was impossible

as if there were sorrow nowhere. But once

evening, after the dark angel entered the

The May 10 waiting an opinion from the
City Attorney on the powers Of the Council on
the sidewalk question. We hope it will be
more reliable opinion, when it comes, than the at
torney'S brief on the license question. There
isn't much use having City Attorney if the city
Is compelled to seek its reliable legal sdVise
elsewhere.- Union, 9Th.
1t seems to be the especial delight OF the
onion to misrepresent City Attorney NC
Elherne. The Mayor is not 'oati"g any
opinion on the side,eaH or any other q'teS-
ton. from. the City Attorney. Thege is no
truth whatever in the Union's statement.
Some days ago the Mayor did ask Mr.
McEIberue what was the proper course to
nursus on the question named By the Union,
and in answer Mr. McElherne promptly
wrote out the form of an ordinance on the
subject; the City Council unanimously
adopted it ; the Mayor approved it with his
signature, and the Union, on Wednesday
morning the 18th, published the ofieial de-
logs OF the Council on the subject. The
ordinance was published in this paper on
the It'll, and yet, two days after the Union
had itself published the fact, it says Mayor
Murdoch is waiting an opinion on this sub
jscs Such journalism is shamefal-show-
ing either ignorance Of what it publishes OF
malicious Misrepresentation Of faithful
and Efficient officer.
/ AS to the license question-can the Union
decide il? Mr. McElherne gave his opin.
ion that no new penalty could be imposed
upon saloon keepers during the time fol
which they had been licensed. In this hi
is sustained by Judge Story, Gov. Palmer
and By several of the very best lawyers il
this oity-Mr. Osborn Mr.. Curtis, Mr.. Guest
and perhaps others. Because the Chicsg,
authorities require new bonds is no evil
deuce that they are right, or that Judg
Story, Gov Palmer and others are wrong
The question has not yet been passed uPoI
by our courts-and until il has would it no
be more becoming for the Union to treat
as an undecided question? Abuse an
Misrepresentation Of Mr.. McEherne wi
hardly benefit the CHion'S cause.

BAisAh Of WILD CHERRY

Is peculiarly adapted to every disease of The
Lungs and liver which is produced by our ever
varying climate.
There is, perhaps, no disease with which our
country is affeets q, which sweeps of annually
so many vietims as that fell destroyer of the
human race-Consnmp tion. Day after day
year after year, the insatiate monster hurries
TO the cold and silent portals Of the tomb fresh
added victims to its conquest. No walk of life
is sacred from its blighting influence. No age
is exempt from its death dealing shafts. The
old, the middle aged, and the young, all alike,
are food for this common enemy of mankind.
The white haired patriarch whose life of tenn
persnee has rendered his system impervious to
the attacks of other ills, and whose good deeds
prepared him for the enjoy ment of life's calm
evening, finds consumption fastening its fsngs
upon his vitals, aud tearing him from a world
ever brig to minds Which look complacently
on days we'll spent.
Consumption, in its confirmed and incipisnt
| stages, coughs, asthma, Group, and liver com
plant, form by far the most fatal class of dis
eases known to our land. Yet even those 10 ay
be cured by means of the simple yet powerful
re edies that are scattered wherever these mall
aides prevail.

.Couu+v Assessment.

A good many people from the COUNT
have requested us to procure and publish a
abatement of the assessments OF last year and
this year, in order that they may compare
them. The fgOres viii be found below.
The FIRST column shows the assessment on
which county taxes were paid last year the
next shows the amount returned as assessed
by the various township assessors the next
the per cent. added or deducted 10 or d.
and the last column shows the amount as
equalized by the Board of Supervisors, and
on which county taxes must be paid this
year. After the State Board of Equalization
meets we will then give the amount of the
assessment for each township, on which
state taxes must be paid. The assessment
will probably result in compelling Rock
Island county to pay larger state tax than
she ought to and the fault lies in this
township, and grows out of desire to get
as large an assessment as possible for city
purposes. But the city pursued wrong
course. There should have been two asses
sors-one fer township purposes, who would
assess at the same rates OF the other town.
ship assessors 10 the county and another
and different man for city assessor who
would make such an assessment as was
needed for city purposes. If this course
shall be pursued next year, the difficulty
and dissatisfaction now existing will BE-
avoided:
