THE EAGLE is to be congratulated
on one fact, and thai is, that its ex-
posure Of the turkey rattle swindle at
1O5 West Madison street closed up
that game. If Cregier had not acted
on the information furnished by this
paper the chances are that The people
would have taken the law into their
own hands.
1t is an encouraging sign of the
times to see that the clergy are taking
this matter up. The Rev. Dir. Noble
and Rev. DR.. Adams, preaching to
large, wealthy, and respectable CON
gregations, have denounced gambling
in Chicago in unmeasured terms. THF

clergy Of Chicago with the facts, and

Pay Taxes Twice a Year and at
Several Points.

The HERALD's plan of allowing people
to pay their taxes in installments is gain
ing ground on all hands. There is op-
position to it in some quarters, but it is
an inconsiderate opposition. Some op-
pose it because they do not want the
trouble of paying taxes twice year.
Such opposition is inconsiderate, because
it comes from the rich who can pay
when they please, and because it forgets
the necessities of the poor who find it
hard to pay when they must. This
opposition is doubly inconsiderate, for
the reason that no proposition con-
templates forcing a man to make two
pilgrimages to the Tax-Collector's Office.
The plan in view contemplates
the rewarding of the rich man
for merely being rich. 1t con-
templates the granting of a moderate
rebate on the second installment of the
tax, in case it is paid in all at once at the
beginning of the year. That is not a
great hardship.
But it will be indeed a great relief to
many poor farmer, whose tax on his
little farm comes to $5oa year, to be able
to pay $25 of the sum in January and
$25 in June. There is many poor man
who supports his family by daily wage
earned by hard work, and not of ple-
thoric proportions. He may be so for
tunate as to own his little house

For half a century it has been an es-
tablished fact that in England man
who holds in fee simple FIVE acres of
good land, has competency. In France
it is as fully established that thousands
of families live in affluence off of the
proceeds of five acres of good vines.
More thousands of families manage to
live off the income Of one or two acres of
land. If these lands are at all near to a
large city the profits Of the small patch Of
land are greatly increased. Yet people
are incredulous as to the ability of a
family to make living off Of five acres
of land in this section. These doubts
will in no great while be all dispelled,
for the fact will be as well established
and as widely known here as in Europe.
On five acres of fine alfalfa land an in.
dustrious and skillful man can keep a
dairy of ten COWS. The experienced
butter maker knows what annual income
there is in the product of that many
animals where butter is worth from
twenty-five to fifty cents a pound.
The HERALD has frequently published
unquestioned statements to the effect
that the crops Of orange groves in this
section sell for from $500 to 81 900 per
acre. The crops from English walnut
trees are known to be worth $500 an
acre, one year with another. The wise
man will secure five acres of good land
in Los Angeles while it is within his
reach. It will be dear after a few years.

rlcGlynn strikes Back.

NEW YORK, January 25.-Rev. DIR.
McGlynn has tonight given out an open
letter to Archbishop Corrigan, of about
two columns length, in reply to the
proclamation read in the churches
last Sunday denouncing DIR. Nc
Glynn and his anti-Poverty Society,
and warning Catholics that their
attendance at such meetings would con-
stitute reserved case," meaning that
communion would be denied them.
DR.. McGlynn protests against it; ex-
plsins at length what his society is !;
refers to the Archbishop's mind as
"illogical and narrow" and closes by
stating that the Archbishop's declaration
of attendance at their meetings as re-
served case, has no theological value.
Catholic theology teaches, he says, that
there can be reserved case without
grievous sin. Therefore, Corrigan had
no authority in the matter.

IDEAL has been the weather of this
winter from an agricultural point of
view. The current days are the most
ideal of them all. These cool nights and
moderate days are just the thing for the
grain and grass crops and for the fruit
trees. Forcing weather at this early
period, with so much moisture in the
ground. would have been very injurious.
1t would have stimulated rank growth, a
forward development of blossoms and
other premature results, which would
surely be followed by nipping airs and a
consequent backset to vegetation. As it
is, the grass and grain are getting a
firm hold of the ground. The develop
ment is mostly below the surface, where
a foundation is being laid for fine up
ward growth later on. With moderate
rains during the next two months the
farmers face will be made radiant with
smiles when the harvest days arrive.

City, to decide the American champion
ship, in the bantam weight class, took
place with kid gloves at Gloucester, Bur-

Walton out in the fifth round. The
Knockout was one of the strangest ever
witnessed. Walton dived from one end
of the ring to the other, and then ended
by rolling all over the floor. Mccarthy
showed himself to be a general at the
business.
He is q years of age, star ds feet q
inches tall and weighed ia pounds. His
last battle was with the late George
Young, whom he defeated in nine
rounds. His longest fight was last fall,
when it took him nearly an hour to
knock out Eugene Hornbacher. Walton
had fought draw with Tommy Warren
and defeated Jimmie Hagan. He is &c
years of age, five feet four inches tall and
weighed tonight 1101a pounds. The
fight lasted eighteen minutes. Mccarthy
had the best of it throughout, and Walton

A reporter succeeded this afternoon in
interviewing Mr.. Moore, the defaulting

depositors in his bank would not suffer.
He stated that he had turned over to the

THE ir.Reverend Sam Jones threatens
to excel himself in his peculiar style OF
presenting what he conceives to be the
Gospel of the pure, the calm, the meek,
the loving Savior, at some future date
not far remote from tie present mo-
ment. To those who have already heard
the Reverend Sam at his irreverent
rhapsodies, it had not appeared within
the range of the possible for him to out
Jones Jones in really rank and odorous
rhetoric. But he says he can. or at
least he threatens that he will
disclose a depth below the low
est depth of slang, irreverence and
rancorous bitterness in his presentation of
Gospel, whose central idea is love. In
this outgiving this uncultured clerical
polecat may be telling the truth. 1t is
barely possible that there is more ir-
reverent, less lovely, and more un-
Christlike manner Of preaching Christ
crucifed, and Of thereby crucifying the
Lord of Glory afresh, and putting him
to more open shame then the ir-Reverend
Jones has heretofore achieved. But then
would it not be more consistent for this
harrang1er, who seems to have learned
his logical methods from some poor speci-
men of Georgia Negro preacher, and his
rhetorical figures from Billingsgate
fishwoman, to continue his loving and
wholly disinteres.ed endeavors to reclaim
the lost to the terrible moral purlieus OF
the ballroom, where women dance, and
not waste his power on such hard mate
rial as usually comprises the warp and
woof of the daily press.

HOW THE DOODLE WENT.
The Denver Method of Managing
the Aldermen.


DENVER, Colo, January 25.-Charges
of bribery and corruption against the
members of the City Council and the
Board OF Aldermen are published in the
daily papers OF this city an unusual
amount of excitment has been created
over the alledged exposures. The charges
are made by well-known citizens, and it
is claimed that Aldermen have re-
peatedly been paid from 5000
to $500 each for their assistance
in securing the granting of liquor
licenses. 1t is further claimed that in
the matter OF granting the right of way
through the streets of the city to the
Metropolitan Street Railway prominent
attorney received $40, 900, with which he
was to influence the City Board. OF this
amount he put $500 in his own pocket,
gave $500 to a brother attorney, and
the remainder found its way into the
hands of those for whom it was intended.
The matter will be taken up by the grand
jury, now in session, and thoroughly in
yestigated.
