New Marshal in Chicago,

Hon. deo. L. Dunlap has been confirm
ed as marshal of Chicago, and entered
upon the duties of the Office. There is
now some hope that the hordes of gam
blers, thieves, pimps, .bunko steerers,
pickpockets, highway robbers, harlots and
loafers will be cleared out of the streets, so
that people can visit Chicago in safety.
For the last year or two Chicago has been
at the mercy of the dangerous classes
named, and it has not been safe for any
man to walk the streets alone, in certain lC.
calities, at any hour Of the day. 1t is be-
lieved that Mr.. Dunlap win make these dan
gerous and disreputable classes leave town
or hunt their holes. The country will
watch the result with no little interest.

Rockford Enioined.

A reckless city council up at Rockford
building Holly Water Works
there, without the authority of the people,
and when the city was in debt beyond the
constitutional limit A tax-paying citizen
has stopped the business by an injunction.
Rock Island is already il debt more than
$50, 900 beyond the constitutional limit, and
our reckless aud factious hold-over alder
men will find themselves enjoined if they
undertake TO increase our debt. Incompe-
tency. ,nismanagement and irresponsibihty
in regard to our water works has so dis
gusted the people that they won't stand
much more fooling by the hold-oyers.-
That numbering unnecessary committee Of
seven should be abolished at once, and the
works managed by small committee Of
members of the council The sooner that
is done, the better.

No issue ofpaper money, however large,
can raise the price Of farmers products a
farthing. The paper-currency of the
country in 1860 was POI millions, in 1875
over 700 millions The prices of farm pro-
ducts are about the same But Of all 9TH
er commodities the general prices increase
with the quantity ofcurrency. as every far
mer finds whatever he buys. The rag

million farmers ofthe United States to pay
more for oil th,y buy while getting no
more for all they sell. This is tine Ohio

Why initiation does not raise the prices

Why Is IT that cheap, adulterated
baking powders and favoring extracts, are
warranted equal to DR.. Prices, when is is
known that DR.. Prices Cream Baking
Powder and True Flavoring Extracts are
the purest and the healthiest made?
1t is because the adulterated kinds are
bought less and give better profit. Good
goods have valuation and afford less
profit to the seller as well as the manufac-
turer. Unprincipled dealers, like uDprin-
cipled manufacturers, will palm off adul-
terated articles upon community to engen-
der disease. because it puts few more
dollars into. the pocket. This is the reason,
and consumers should know it, and demand
those articles, which are used in food, that
are made by manufacturers who defy COM
petition in price. and make the quality Of
their goods the primary consideration.

Readers of The ARGUS viii remember
that, on several occasions we have called
attention to and pointed out the excel
encies Of Johnson's New Encyclopedias
and urged our citizens to examine it, and
declared it TO be worthy the patronage of
all. We are glad to learn, as we do from
Mr.. Staples, the intelligent canvasser for
the work, that our people find it in-every
respect worthy their attention. and that Mr..
s. is having very decided success in can
wasting. It is work that commends it
self to all. Those who have not the means
to purchase large library will find it o
