Chicago's sent Cent tenniNi Rapidly Approach
ing.
PROM the Chicago Inter Ocean, March %.
Chicago will be 20 years old M an incorpo-
rated city on March 4, 1857. That anniver-
sary will lie an interesting one In tho history
OF the Garden City. Thereare certain rea sons
why such an event should be properly OBJ
served, and why preparations should be un-
dertaken early TO make such n celebration
success.
No city OF the fame and fortune of Chicago
ever lived TO see such growth, greatness, and
splendid future as this in half a century from
tho date OF its incorporation. Here still re-
main number of respected, venerable resi-
dents who came Ia this place while yet u was
only n trading post. In time these venerated
inhabitants Will pass-indeed, they are rap
idly passing-away. Any commemorative
celebration could now ho graced with their
presence whose thrift and push and pluck
made modern Chicago possibility. Besides
the veterans there are within reach OF all the
evidences of the beginnings of this midland
metropolis. The growth of the city, which
IL has been common to speak of with satisfac-
ton, rests not ON what the people here have
boosted, but upon the verdict OF the civilized
world.
This city has seen marvellous changes, as
NAV be readily imagined, since IL got It's seal.
The year ls}5 had been considered a pros
porous year in Chicago, and the citizens he

October -, 1886, the town board took the nec-
essary steps Ia become recognized a. city.
A meeting was held composed Of town board
members and citizens and committee was
appointed 10 draw up the charter In form for
presentation. These gentlemen were Eben-
ezer Peck, J. ID. Cation, Il. w. smith, VIM.
B. Ogden, and Nathan Ii. Bolles. ON De
cember Mr. Peck, on behalf of the commit
tee, presented their charter to the board, and,
after slight changes, II was approved, and on
March I. 1887, the legislature of Illinois
passed the bill approving tho charter, and
chicago became a full-iiedged city.
The first may yoralty campaign took place
soon after. The candidates we're John II.

character of either Of them to give one any
advantage over the other, IL was fair
stand.up fight between the Wings and
Democrats. Men of each political party
wanted the city government To stand under
its peculiar auspices" The contest was avery
spirited one. ''Long John " Wentworth

Mississippi's Disgrace,

1t is very satisfactory to have the assur-
ance of a Jackson, Miss, correspondent of
the New York World that there is uniyer-
sal condemnation felt in that capital and
throughout the state over the recent
slaughter of negroes at Carrollton. While
it is generally admitted that they were a
bad lot and helped by their misconduct to
bring their fate upon themselves, a credit
able public sentiment calls for the punish
ment of their atrocious murder,
1t is not so satisfactory to learn that
" no warrants have been sworn out and no
arrests made no action has been taken
by the state authorities looking to the fer
reting out and bringing the murderers to
Justice" No commonwealth or commu-
nifty can afford to let such crimes 60 I'M
punished, nor will Mississippi fail to suffer
ineradicable disgrace if these murderers
go free.
But there is nothing in the CirCum-
stances to warrant federal interference :
nothing for the president or attorney gen.
eral to take cognizance of; as it is re-
ported they have been considering. The
Carrollton massacre, like the recent lynch
ings in New Jersey, Ohio and Indiana, like
the Molly Mcguire troubles in Pennsylva-
mia and various other state disturbances,
was domestic affair, exclusively for the
state to deal with and to it alone must
attach the responsibility and credit or dis
grace accordingly as it meets or sirks its
duty.

Earl Grey on Irish Home Rule.

Earl Grey, who has obtained some little
prominence by his fierce opposition to Irish
home rule, has been interviewed on the
subject, and his opinions may be taken as
fair presentation of what the Whig policy
will be on this engrossing question. An
examination of them discloses what n
feeble case the enemies of Ireland have in
the present status of the problem. Earl
Grey declares that the Irish party are not
clear In stating what they mean by home
rule. What can be more lucid than Mr.. Par
nell's demand for voice in the local gov
ernment affairs and an abolition of the
odious Castle rule There is absolutely
20 reason why the crown should dictate
those who are placed in authority over the
people from lord lieutenant down to the
humblest constable. These officials for
years have been chosen to place because of
their recognized hostility to Ireland. II is
madness to expect that Irish submission
viii endure forever. When Earl Grey
nys that he knows not what is sought by
the Irish leaders, he shuts his ewes 10
4hcts that may be read by him who runs.
Another alleged argument presented NV
Earl Grey is that the members of the
present government, now as in the past.
oye too prone to yield TO agitation and in
timidation. They yield, not of them
eelyes, but because of the concentra ed
moral pressure of the civilized world all
hut the most bigoted of Englishmen con-
fode this fact.
# But the most stupid of Grey's state
DN Is that it would be mad
- to grant an Irish Parliament

crnment could not be depended on.

A Lady Physicians r.,s, Mistake

The trial of manslaughter case which the
Judge says is without parallel in the history
OF English or American law was begun on
Friday in the superior court in Boston. In
August 1885, Mrs. Isabella Hill died from
poisoning caused by taking medicines pre-.
scrioed by Mrs. DIR. Helen Cummings, who
made mistake in labelling two bottles, so
that the contents of One-fluid extract of 81.
lgnatius beer-which was intended TO be
aken by the drop, was taken by spoonfuls.
The commonwealth admits that Mrs. Cum
mlngs ~ competent physician that the
medicines as she Intended TO administer
them were right, and that after the poisonino O
she gave the proper antidotes, but for mixing
up tho labels she Is tried for manslaughter,
and Ii is that which makes the case uniuue
she admits all the charges and depends upon
the Jury Tor acquittal ON the ground that her
mistake was not criminal

DEATH THE WAGES OF SIN
The Tragic Termination OF an EIopemept
Divorce In the West

The Tragic Termination OF an EIopement and
Divorce IN the West
y few months ago a scandal, which created
more than local sensation, in indianapolis.
Ind, was caused by the clopement of Mrs.
Kate Dawson, the young wife of wealthy old
farmer, with her stepson, Oscar Daw son. The
couple were shortly afterward arrested on a
criminal charge, but the young woman's
husband agreed not to prosecute if she
would consent to his procuring a divorce.
The decree OF separation was granted by the
court ten days ago, and Mrs. Dawson was
given alimony to the amount of $1,000. She
deposited the money in bank, and a day
later II was garnished by her attorneys TO
secure claim for legal services. In despair
over her disgrace and the loss of the money.
she went to the house of her divorced hus-
band wednesday night and committed
suicide by swallowing arsenic.
Friday evening Oscar Dawson, the stepson
with whom the woman eloped, ended an
other chapter in the tragedy by taking poison,
and dying within few moments after ii was
discovered what he had done.
