Feels Sorry for the carpet-Baggers

EeelS sorry TOT the Varpe1-6aSS eTs.
The Rock Island Union is good deal
worried about R. B. HIS policy ard seems
to feel bad because there is a prospect
that Louisiana, like South Carolina, will
soon be free state 1t says:
President Grants mistake was in not recognizing
Packard at the proper time.
Grants mistake was in supposing it ne
cessary for him recognize" any governor.
And he became convinced, before he left
office, that he made mistake; and he
acknowledged that he had done wrong in
using the army for political purposes.
And he recently said, in st. Louis, that
had he remained in Office he would baYe
ordered the army away from all inter
| ference with states. 1t is not the business
of the general government to bother itself
about state elections. The states will
take care Of their own affairs. When there
is an insurrection against the government
of a state too powerful for state govern
ment to control, and when the Legislature
| has met, if it can meet, and asked
aid, then the general government is
authorized, and not till then, to furnish it.
And if the legislature is prevented by the
instruction from meeting, then the gov
ernor is authorized to call for aid-and not
till then. No such state Of things as the
constitution cCntemp.ates has occurred,
since the war. and the interference by Re
publican administrations, using the army
for political purposes, has all been illegal
unauthorized and unwarranted. The
sooner Mr. r. B. II. puts an end to it the
better. Having stolen Tilden's Office, the
next best thing, for the good of the country
which he can do, is to steal Tilden's policy
and enforce it. We care more principles

Trinity Church Guild Entertainment.

Mrs. Gen. Dana is the mother of the
Guild and it was through her persevering
efforts that the entertainment was gotten
up and, aided by others, carried through.
The audience was large, select and appre-
ciatiye, and the whole affair a decided
success. OF course it was lengthy-that
couldn't well be avoided, especially if en-
cores were permitted, though the singing
and Miles Standish's long speeches might
have been somewhat abbreviated.
The opening chorus by the little girls Of
Trinity Guild was simple and pleasing;
the courtship of Miles Standish interesting
and generally well rendered. John Alden
was a self Possessed and well acted character
rather loud spoken in the love making
parts, for lover-but still excellently
performed. And Prlscilla's acting was
unexceptionable, though she evidently
don't know how to run that wheel-or
didn't run it as our mother used to.
Alderman J. L. Hebert's I'm Felice, ~
from Ernani, was superbly rendered and
rapturously and continuously applauded
and encoTed until he reappeared. For
encore he sang ''The Watcher Grey" in
which his strong and rich baritone was
much admired.
The Kinder Symphonic was very pleas
ing, and gave evidence of patient and per,
sistent labor. Those who know its origin,
and how the great composer, Hayden, first
introduced it among the children of Ger
many, will appreciate the labor when W.
say that Miss Clara Wilson procured th'
music and the instruments and adapted
the music to the instruments and instructed
the Guild from the beginning, and LEI
them from the stand on the stage
Her costume, general appearance ant
action elected very favorable comment
Miss Sallie Buford and Miss Nettie Wilson
in appropriate costume, performed tn
piano accompaniment The whole Gull
presented an attractive appearance ant
performed admirably. They were loudl
} applauded-and repetition of that enter
tainment would be gratifying to very man
, of our citizens.
, Beware" cavatina, by Mrs. Holcombe
! was very fine and for encore she sang II
acio"-known to some as the "Kis
Waltz"
The Two T. j. s, or Quiet Lodgings
: was acceptably performed, and especi;
praise seems to be given, by all who con
ment on its rendition, to Mrs. Frank I

Bad Water IN Chicago.

From an article in the Sunday Times
we clip the following:
We have just had q food. 1t was not
one of very extraordinary dimensions; but
it was sufficiently grea! to food the canal
and to send down the river a volume OF
water which reached out to the crib, and
for fortnight poisoned the water used by
the city. 1t has been asserted
from the crib that the entrails of animals,
and other offal from the slaughter and
packing houses, are seen in the vicinity of
the gates which admit the water. That
this is no exaggeration. is shown by ex-
tracts from the proceedings of meeting
of physicians held on Monday.
What more utterly atrocious and scan
dalous can be conceived than this state of
things? 1t adds to Its atrocitv to know
that men handling ofal are in the Lablt of
taking it out in scows into the lake, and
dumping it where it is liable to be carried
against the crib and thence drawn into
the water-plpes.
1t is fact that the epidemic of scarlet
fever which has been ravaging the city
for months owes its vitality to our execra-
BILE sanitary condition. 1t is further fact
that large amount of prevalent sickness
of other forms is due TO the bad quality of
| the water. This is a summary of our
present condition.
| All this swollen tide of refuse from
slaughter houses, packing establishments
and stink factories, which pours into the
lake; all this dumping of offai by the mer-
cenary rascals who practice it; all the filth
in various portions of the city,-are al
preventable things Being preventabe
and yet being allowed to continue, mus
be directly charged to municipal misman
agement. This management is made VI
of gross and palpable disregard of tht
rights of the public, and of false notions
of economy.
There must be change After having
laid out millions to secure pure waite
| supply, we are now in condition scarcely
any better than when we drew directly in
to the pipes the leechings of a grave -yart
and the sewage from the river, W,
have escaped the former, but we have, i
possible. the sweage calamity in no les
aggravating form. The thing to be done
and at once, is to prohibit the dumping o
Otfal into the lake, and to stop the empty
ing OF the refuse Of rendering establishment
and other stink factories into the river.
Similar articles are contained in othe
Chicago papers. Now, if these things ca
happen with the Chicago source of waite
supply, mile or more out into the dee
lake where no current exists, is it Difficult
to believe that, under the state of thing
existing here last winter, the sewage c
our city can and is carried directly down
swift current to our pumping works an
the poisoned sickening stuff pumped bac
for us to drink? Two thousand peopl
were made sick by our bad water, La
winter, and what has occurred will occu
again under the same circumstance
Some day, our people will arouse then
selves aud move the pumping works u
town and run an 19 inch or 2 foot pipe III
