How few people are found without some indi-
cations OF nervous disease. This truth has
been recognized ever since classic ages, when
a sound mind In sound body was held as the
perfection OF human existence. Some from
congenlal disease, others from youthful indis-
cretlons, some from alcoholic Indulgence or too
tatlon or nervous excitement-all OF which can
be removed or permanently cured by the Eng
llsh Remedy, the Cordial Balm OF Syricum,
which has long been in the old country the
favorite remedy, and which, since its introduc-
tlon lnto tnls country, has distanced all other
medicines having the same object In view.

You know that commenced taking IL with a

days the longing for opium began TO grow less

but could always md help and strength TO
overcome the temptation by taking a single
dose OF the Cordial Balm. Gratefully yours.

L CHANHE OF FRONT.

Ths Chicago Tines has never claimed hon
eaty OF sincerity in opinion, and has openly
aouted all idea Of consistency but, II it has
been porsistont in any ons thing, it has been
in donunciation Of the character Of the COM
mon Council. It has lamcnted over tho pow
ers granted to thia body by tho special charter
under which Chicago is governed. It has
frequently declared TINT this chamber can
never be improved so long as the ward sys-
TEN Of politics prevails. It has rovilcd tho
rings that hare been formed in the Council,
aud ta1ton to itself great credit for what it
denominatea feasleaaness In calling tho
Aldermen bummcrs, sca1awags, blackmail-
era, thieves, ex-jail-birds, otc., etc. But
now that the Chicago Times has become the
organ Of majority faction in the Council,
aud Of the ballot-box suffers and the illegal
voters acting in the Councils interest, there
il sudden and somewhat surprising change
Of front. It Is in favor Of tho chnrter Of
1879, becanao this charter enlargos the
powers Of tho Council enormously, md
" alsvates that body to the importance OF q
Legislature" This Harne body which has boon
uncouscionable in the exercise of limited
powers, according to the Time, is suddenly
transformed into model Of honor, integrity,
and ability by tho assumption of unlimited
authority, by ths same concern. That Is, the
man who has been corrupt and licentious
oven under restraint, Immediately be.
comes honest and virtuous when tho
restraint il removed. Just what principle or
precedent all this is based on we fear nobody
outside tho "o1d nun" In tie Times office
cau explain. As q mattor Of fact, tho very
first act of The Common Council, under tho
cool assumption that tho charter Of 1879 had
been adopted before tho returns were can.
vasaed, was to pass resolution perposuating
the old Board system, to get rid Of which the
1fn,es for years has howled. The next not
would be, II the charter Of 1872 wero In force,
10 increase the number OF Boards and oftloes,
This would DO followed by increasing aalaries
all around, and voting themselves compeusa-
ton. Such would be one Of tho phases Of
the diffusion Of responsibility Incident to in.
creasing the legislative and appointive pow
ora Of Board Of thlrty.six Aldermen uninly
olocted from the grog.shops and pu1lisua of a
large city.

Tho ling organ psofoHses to believe that
tho new charter would secure eyon n botter
set Of mon than those who compose tho
present Council, Of which It has suddenly
conceived so exalted m idea. That is to say,
It puts forth this probability aa ono Of its cx-
cuses for sustaining tho illegal voting, tho
violations aud disregard Of tho Election law,
nnd the ballot-box stu!ting Of last Friday.
'To increase tho Importance of the Council
is tho s1ircst way to improve tho character Of
Tie Council says the Ring organ. Indeed
This involves tho assumption that honest md
intelligent Mon can bo elected Whenever they
nro willing to stand rs candidates in a1l pnrts
Of tho city,. 1las this bcan the experience Of
the past? We should say not, If VIC refer to
tho files of the 4s,ats for tho character Of tho
Aldermen who laSo been elected over thoir
opponents. Is thors my better prospect for
Ito future? Tho Ring organ knows per-
fectiy well that tho chances for tho future
will DO worse nan those Of the pnst, If wo are
forced to submit to tho charter OF 1872.
undcr that charter, the city elections will DO
transferred from tho fail to tho spring.
1nsteal Of elccting Aldermen, as heretofore,
on tho sane day rs the state election aud
with Ito check Of registration, VIC shall haye
to vote for them in m election held under the
auspices OF the Council, with judges and
clerks appointed by lilo Council, and without
registration or any othor check upon repent
ing and ballot-box stufIing. AL this tie
Ring organ knows perfectly vol. Tho elec-
t'onb for Aldermen will be in every respect
