the board aud class the case as the result
of hasty legislation. The petition received
probably 200 names in all and scarcely
signature outside the S~ede element, who
as class pay but small amount of the
taxes imposed The whole affair was
done for policy and not for any particular
preference the board has for the element
presenting the petition THE ARGUS
does not oppose this measure on grounds
of nationality alone. but because, the
necessity for the act does not east The
public schools are intended for the use
of the people, but outside of the ordinary
English branches 10 other educational em-
bellishments should be expected. A good
common school education does not include
the languages, nor should the teaching OF
outside branches form part of the series.
The people are already taxed beyond en-
durance to support our present school sys
ten and if the frequently occurring innova-
tions of the original common school system
are supported, it will sooE do away with
colleges and seminaries, become heavy
burden on the people, and not particularly
benefit the masses either But few out Of
the large number attending our schools
ever go beyond the ordinary branches
simply because they cant afford it, ano
secondly because the higher branches are
mere superhuit;es in ordinary life TIL
ARGUS insists that the board of education
legislated hastily, and did not give the
subject the consideration its Importance
demanded. 1t is earnestly hoped that th'
action of the board will be reconsidered a
the next meeting and the error of the las
session permanently remedied.

THE RARcocK CASE.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 9.-The government
counsel in the Babcock case to-day passed
over the conspiracy in 1871 aud 1872 and
produced testimony to show the existence
and acts of the whisky ring from 1878 to
1875. The testimony was general in its
character, tending to show who were in
the conspiracy and the extent. j. w.
Fitzroy, deputy internal revenue collec
tor, testified that after the departure CT
Megrue, in November of 1872, he became
the active business man of the ring
He only met Babcock once and had only
a passing conversation with him. Johr

CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED.
SCHENCK's PULMoNIc SYRUP,
SCHENCK's SEA WEED Tonic.

SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS.
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop cough will
occasion the death of the patient; they lock up the
liver stop the circulation of the blood, hemorrhage
follows and in fact they clog the action of the very
organs that caused the cough
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes
of two-thirds of the cases of Consumption. Many
persons complain of dull pain in the side, con-
stipation coated tongue pain in the shoulderblade
feelings OF drowsiness and restlessness, the food
lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied with
acidity and belching up Of wind
These symptoms usually originated from disor.
dered condition of the stomach or torpid liver.
Persons affected, II they take one or two heavy
colds and If the cOngh in these cases be suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged
remaining torpid, and inactive, and almost before
they are aware the lungs are mass OF sores, and
ulcerated, the re- ult of which is death.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant which
does not contain opium or anything calculated tt
check cough suddenly.
Schencks Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the food
mixes with the gastric juices of the stomach, aids
digestion and creates a ravenous appetite.
When the bowels are costve, skin sallow, or IN

FroBsthe Peoria Democrat.
The Powers of the Mayor City Attor-
ney Keuteile's Opinion.
Inasmuch as the subject of the powers
of the mayor in removal of officers are
under general discussion, and as the Tran
script wants to know City Attorney Ket-
telle's opinion upon the matter, reporter
of this paper was despatched to interview
that gentleman Mr., Kettelle was found
in his Office drawing from choice cigar,
and after making known the intention of
the visit, the following dialogue ensued
Rep-Mr. Kettelle, the Transcript and
the mayor seem to doubt the soundness OF
your opinion, that the mayor cannot vote
on the confirmation of his own appointees.
Have you auy question in regard to 1t?
Mr.. K-I have not, and | am endorsed
by number of the leading lawyers in
Peoria. Still the courts, in making their
decision, may not agree with me.

of this law the mayor obtains tie power o
appointment ''by and with the consent 0
the city council, by vote of majority 0
all its members authorized by law to b

city charter the mayor is a member of tn
city council and as such member, unde
the mayor bill has just as much right t
vote on confirmations as any alderman
The city charter does provide that th
city council shall consist of the mayor an
aldermen, but prescribes and ltnrs hi
duties as such member, by stain
that the mayor shall preside owe
the meetings of the city council, an
that the mayor shall have only a castin

strain on the main spring of his watch
that will break it. But there comes a
time when it breaks-a click, snap,
aud the watch stops. Men break down
this way. They go on. day after day,
the pressure bearing harder each sue

out and the machine stops. Ii isa
great pity that the indications of this

of the last things that men will admit
