HOME MATTERS.


EDITORS REpCBLICAN:--Th very disrespcCt
ful manner in which the FREE TRADER treated
the members OF the Illinois State Dental Society
in last weeks issue deserves severe criticism
The papers OF place are supposed TO be the cX
ponents of the tastes and sentiments Of the peo
pie whom they represent. If the members OF
Dental Society regard the feelings manifested
toward them in the FREE TRADER rs the senti.
ments of the people, they will be 10th to visit
US again.
The Illinois State Dental Society is composed
of men who take the front rank In the profes-
sion, is the best organized and conducted dental
society in the snited States, and for their pro
ceedings to be reported in the burlesouc style
of the FREE TRADER, calling them "plug uSlies'
and Jaw breakers" Is too aggravated an insult
To q respectable body of strangers to pass un-
noticed by our citizens. The local editor of the
! FREE TRADER reports the proceeding OF an in
tellectual body of men in the same low style he
would report prize tight or horse race. He
is no doubt in blissfu ignorance Of the fact thai
| he makes most consummatc ass of himself in
his labored attempts at wittlcism.
| 1t is to be hoped that the Republican will re
pair far possible the injury done the Dental So
ciety in this weeks issue. O.

There is no possibility of mistakng the au-
thorship of the above shadbandian criticism
The signature is correct. The cypher expresses
numerically exactly what blonde himself
amounts to-critcally, socially, politically, men
tally morally, exegetically, particularly and gen
erally-notling. Had he lived in the days when
it was a sin TO smile and man WAS fined for
kissing his wife on Sunday, possibly he might
! have passed for a saint but after coniessiug L.
having nearly worn out Il good pair Of eyes in
reading the Brooklyn smut, it is questionable
whether his sanctmonous grunt over an imag
mary aggravated insult can pass for nor,
than it really is-hypocritical swash,
| If blonde had attended the sessions OF tht
dental convention, or sent reporter, or got az
louainted with its officers and members, he nigh
have learned that both the daily dispatches tc
the Chicago papers, AZ well as our own report
of the Association each day and endorsed by
them before going to tho printer.
| AgMn-the unyaIying courtesy cytended TO u
by the association, the ordering OF over nr,
hundred copies OF the FREE TRADER by its mem
bcrs and score of letters since received rc
I uuestng additional copies and congratuatin.
Ius upon the manner in which we dm the conyeu
ton, would seen, to indicate that in the abov
gangrened criticism the cypherous blonde is a

parties themselves, and in their estimation car
be nothing but an arrant ignoramous and eyre
giOus ass.
+. Furthermore and finally, while Mr.. Blonde
who most correctly figures up his personal AZ
gregate at cyrher, (OD is expanding himself o'
the subject of conventional dccorum and e&
pounding the true Turneydropian, blue bloc
mode of treating the dental association cour
teously, will he please TO rise and explain ais
why, after putting MIR. Secretary Koch to III
trouble of writing out for him report Of til
proceedings, mot taking interest enough in tn
society to send a reporter himselfD he neve
called for the report, or once said "thaHk you
to the secretary for his trouble? The enterpriS
of the Peeuyc and its fashion plate correspondent
is certainly peculiar, and past finding out. W
recommend the said reporter TO take his cyphei
Gus boss to Marseilles and start religious papc'
