PoLITICs do certainly make
strange bedtellows. A few years
ago Mr.. Palmer ran for governor
of Illinois on tho Republican ticket
and was elected While on the
stump no man ever berated the
democracy as did he. He denounc-
ed them one and all as traitors so
odious that back seats in the temple
OF American citizens were too good
tor them. Then every Democrat
voted heavy ballot against him.
Since Palmer turned his political
coat, and like Julian and Ross has
nothing but bitterness on his
tongue when speaking of the Re
publicans, the Democrats have
takcnihim up as their candidate for
governor OF Illinois. Such is poll
tics. When a Republican, Palmer

filled by statesman of such vlgol

outlive the President and succeed
him in case of death. Having, III

Chicago lllS., Iune 7, 1888
DEAR MAJOR CAFEREY
\ on give me quite flattering
notice in your issue OF the End. inst,
and would cheerfully comply
with your request tn write more
frequently, but the distance is so
great between us, and | am so lit
tie acquainted with your surround
ings, that | fear any attempt made
by me to entertain your readers,
would fall flat. If your paper was
located in region where am
better acquainted with the popula-
ton, might possibly succeed bet
ter. Although read the LEADER
closely, ! find but few names that
sound familiar, outside of your
own.
DR.. A. G.. Lanes is a household
word i'll this county, as one Albert
&. Lane has been Superintendent
of Public Schools in this county tor
the past ten or twelve years, and
he makes Il good one. Although
the initials are the same, | doubt
whether they ever heard OF each
other.
The name Of Rudisille, which
sometimes appears in the LEADER,
is also a familiar name, as | was
intimately acquainted with large
family by that name at Greencastle
Putnam county, Indiana. The faith
er of the family was Sheriff of the
county, and afterwards Recorder of
Deeds. But he never was Presi-
dent of the United States, SO you
see all Sheriffs do not fill that
great office. So far as | know
Grover Cleveland is the only ex
sheriff that ever succeeded in oc-
cupying the WhlteHouse at Wash
ington.
Well, Grover Cleveland was a.
gain nominated at st. Louis yester-
day to be his own successor. The
way i: now looks, Allen q. Thur
man will be the nominee for Vice
President, if so, it will truely be a
"Kangaroo ticket as was said,
when Polk and Dallas were nomin
ated But | trust that "Rum, Ro-
lnanism and Rebellion" will not a
gain count in Grover Cleveland, in
New Nork, by over twelve hun
dred votes. When Grover Cleve
land run tor Governor of New
York, he was counted in by a hnn-
dred and ninety-twO thousand votes
and when he run for President he
received less than one thousand two
hundred votes. This was quite a
falling otf-and | think he must
have felt a little ashamed to hold
up his hand to be sworn into office
but "Rum, Romanism and Re-
bellion" did it. If that fool Burch-
ard had kept his tongue still in his
head, James G. Blaine would be
the President of the United States
today.
There have been several natioh-
al conventions held in Chicago, and
so far as my memory now serves
me. no candidate was ever defeated
who was nominated here, except in
the case where both national con
ventions were held here. More
anon perhaps.

are proud in the knowledge that
many of our guild have in this and

But there are alleged editors who

the most dIspicable of all cobblers.
Many OF them couldn't for the life
of them tell whether Shakespeare
wrote Othello or Othello wrote
Shakespeare, and couldn't teach in

they can neither spell or pronounce

editor Intact should De careful, q

SETTING THE CLOCK BACK.

Last week we publishsd an arti
Gle headed, Setting the Clock
Ahead This week we propose
writing a vice versa one as lndicat
ed by the above heading.
There are three professions, each
alike honorable, which, in the pre-
sent day, are notoriously travestied
by the majority of their represen-
tatives, viz. the legal, ministerial
and journalistic. a few genera
tionS since every man wearing ju-
dicial ernine, or clothed with au-
thority to practice law, was not
only supposed to be edncated in
legal science but in historical and
literary lore. The priest or cler
gyman was presumed to be de-
vout Christian, and rarely fell by
the wayside. Journalists we're
looked up to as learned in their
calling, and held to be authority
on questions affecting the secular
interests of the people. But times
have changed, and the status Of
professions with them.
~
First then, let us review the min
istry. We knew priest who Off
ciated in the Tawn OF Lake, which
Is situate in that portion Of Chlca-
90 where the Union Stock Yards
arc located, who few years ago
skipped by the light Of the moon
with the church funds, Travelled to
neighboring town where he was
next day welded to school girl,
and the next heard of HIM he was
admitted to the bar in Denver
Then but a week or two ago, at a
National Convention of Methodists
called to elect Bishops, albeit the
delegates were all ordained clergy
men, the ballot box was repeatedly
stuffed. The Indiana and Ohio
democratic ballot-box suffers were
sent to prison, but these sanctimo-
nious suffers were delegated to re-
turn to their charges and teach the
benighted the way to eternal life.
But recently a clergyman edited
the religious department of the
LEADER, who couldn't, correctly,
write or speak the Queens English.
He has lately proven himself to be
prevarlcator and shameless Sian
derer. (We will edit the religious
department OF our paper ourselt in
the future.) Our own county pro
vlded an apt illustration to point
our moral, in the person of robed
priest who had a woman arrested
on the charge Of robblng his sa
cred person. In open court he
swore that some of the money tax
ell trem him were u. S. bills Of
the denomination of 3, 4 aud Z dol
las. He left the witness stand
with large sized flea in his ear,
but the exposure did not est"p him
from continuing to say mass, heal
confessions and grant absolution.
Then, " right here IN White Oaks, ,
we had Protestant divine, whose
name when pronounced even now,
has male dorous scent. Scarcely

Yes, there are some preachers
who should be lawyers, some law,
yers who should be editors, and
some so-callcd lawyers, clergymen,
and editors who should be swash-
bucklers for vault scavengers.

Lawyers should not only be edu
Gated in the law, but in all branch
es OF education which go to equip
the perfect, the flushed gentleman.
Then they should, above all other
professional men, be scrupulouslv
honest and honorable. Ben Jon
son, upon being informed of the
death of a barrister whose charac-
ter in lite he admired, wrote his
epitaph as follows
God works wonders now and then,
Here lies a lawyer and an honest man"
Most lawyers (O 4f the present day
would have an appropriate epitaph
in:
" He lied in lfc--he now lies in death. d"
The profession is noble one albeit
it has so many ignohle representa-
tives. In the history of America
some of the noblest types ct Amer
icanism were lawyers, and the race
is not yet extinct. But how many
profess to be lawyers who are un-
worthy the profession. Why we
have one in this county, yes,
g" right here in White Oaks" as
ex-parson Sigh was wont to say,
who, on being asked bv a wag to
explain the navigation laws of New
Mexico attempted q dissertation on
the question IN all seriousness
The same one, i'll an egotistical
moment, solemly asseverated that,
by virtue Of his eloquence he once
secured the escape of q guilty eli
ent the full measure of punishment
through a verdict Of rape in the
fifth degree. Life, property and
character are oftentimes placed in
the charge OF lawyers as cham
pions, defenders and advocates. -
How important then, that the Gus
todian Of such sacred interests
should be skilled in the law, and
armored with integrity. A man
who doesn't know the relation be-
tween punctuation points, cannot
spell simple words In the language
his infant tongue was taught to
lisp, and whose hat covers recep-
tacle for tobacco and not brains, is
not such AS deserves the honorable
appellation "lawyer.
