WON'T BURY THE RATCHET.
JefF. DAVIS Not 10 be Allowed to
Speak fn Illinois.

Jefr. DAVIS Not 10 be Allowed TO
Speak in Illinois.
Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
ROCKFORD, ILL.,, August 1.-THE
excitement occasioned by H. B. Kim
balls startling announcement that
JEFF. Davis would speak at the fair
this year has been growing since Mon
day, when the letter of acceptance
arrived. The publication in the
Tribune and other Chicago papers was
the first information that came offici-
ally to Rockford. From that mo-
ment the excitement became greater,
and now assumes an Indignation that
will not be easily allayed, unless JEFF.
Davis cancels the engagement. The
Grand Army of the Republic held an
indignation meeting last night, and
passed the following resolution, which
was signed by over 300 of the boys !:
Whereas, we learn with regret
that JEFF. Davis has been invited by
the Board Of Directors of the Winnie
bago County Agricultural Society to
deliver the annual address at our
county fair; and
Whereas, We look upon it as an
insult to the loyal citizens of Winnie
bago county to invite the the arch
traitor, JEFF. Davis, to address the
relatives and surviving friends of 49,
900 men murdered at Andersonville
alone by his orders;
Resolved, That, while as an organ
ization we have nothing to do with
party politics, yet, as loyal citizens
and former soldiers, we feel it our
duty to speak in behalf of the men,
ory of our fallen comrades, who are
no longer able to speak for them
selves.
Resolved, That we protest against
the action of the Board of Directors,
and pledge ourselves that we will not
attend the fair or contribute anything
toward making it a success, if the
Board of Directors persist in bringing
forward this arch traitor and coward.
Resolved, that these resolutions be
signed by the members of this Post
and published in the county papers.
But the excitement is not altogether
confined to Rockford. A number OF
the Winnebago county towns are al
ready up in arms, and resolutions of
the msst threatening character are be-
ing passed.
A correspondent from Roscoe writes
to the Gazette, of this city, and says :
"Our people are unanimous in con-
domination of the insult, and havenot
been so stirred up by any event since
the close of the war. The farmers
declare they will bolt the fair if JEFF.
Davis comes"
The manufacturers Of Rock ford de-
clare they will send nothing to the
fair. The Board of Directors of the
Agricultural Society meet tomorrow
to reconsider the matter.
To-day's Gazette came out with a
very bitter article, in which it says
''To bring JEFF. Davishere is to insult
every soldier who wore the army blue
during those four years of bloody
war, to harrow the feelings of every
widow and mother whose husband OF
son were starved to death at Ander-
sonville, shot at the dead-line, or on
the numerous battle-felds of the
South, and all for the sake Of adding
two or three hundred dollars to the
Golfers of an Agricultural Society.

Doctors Advertising.

The propriety of doctors advertis-
ing has been brought before the pub
lie by the expulsion Of an Evansville
physician from the Academy Of Med
icine for advertising his change Of of
fee. The Cincinnati Gazette thinks
this rule is maintained by the old
doctors to keep the young ones from
becoming better known and more
dangerous rivals. The Evansville
Journal tries tc carry cut the spirit
of the rule forbidding advertising by
reporting difficult surgical operation
with the names of the operators blank.
There is very prominent physician
in Chattanooga from whom we very
frequently receive information in re
gard to persons injured by accidents,
whom he has treated, who never fails
to conclude his statement with the
strict injunction not to mention his
name rs in any way connected with
the case. Very few physicians, how,
ever, are so scrupulous, and some, not
in Chattanooga, lose no opportunity
to secure mention,of their names. A
strict enforcement of the spirit of the
rule would prohibit the mention of
any physicians name in the papers at
all. For instance, a notice of the
election of officers of Hamilton
County Medical Society is an adver-
tisement of the doctors elected. If a
public meeting is held and physi-
clan makes few remarks, if the re-
porter mentions him as DR.. Y. Y. H.,
he is advertised thereby. To be con-
sistent, also, if a doctor successfully
treats lady, he ought to enjoin her
not to say word about it at the next
meeting of the sewing circle, and
male patients should be requested
never to speak Of their family physi-
clan to strangers, lest he should be
thus advertised Chattanooga Times.
