THE FEDERAL OFFICES.

Growing Impatience in the Republican
Ranks OUer the 8IotUneSs of the President
in Making Appointments.
There is evidently a hitch some
where in the matter of filling the Chi
cago Federal Offices Senators Farwell
and Cullom and Congressman Mason
and Taylor have agreed upon a slate,
and sent it in. For some reason or
other the President had not acted upon
it up to the time of going to press.
The slate included these names:
For Collector of Customs, William
J. Campbell.
For Collector Of Internal Revenue,
Christopher Manner
For United States Marshal Capt.
Neff of Freeport.
Some of the Republican leaders are
getting uneasy over the delay.
They say that next year will be the
Austerlitz of Illinois politics, because
it will decide for a long time to come
whether the State is to be Democratic
OF Republican. A Legislature is to be
elected which will choose United
States Senator to succeed Mr.. Farwell.
The result will depend largely upon
Cook County. Here State Senators
are to be elected in the First, Third,
Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, Eleventh, and
Thirteenth Districts. The Democrats
expect to carry all of them except the
Seventh. With divided enemy they
certainly will carry number of them.
The distribution of the offices appears
to have awakened some old feuds, and
the appointment of Neff is arousing
great opposition.
1t is said that Senator Farwell, rec
ognizing his danger, is willing to pla-
cate some Of the opposition before it is
too late

THE CHICAGO EAGLE.

With this issue THE CHICAGO EAGLE
commences a useful career. 1t pro
poses to occupy sphere not heretofore
filled by any newspaper in Chicago. 1t
will be devoted to politics, and will
faithfully chronicle, without fear or
favor, the doings of men in all parties.
1t viii stand up for all that is liberal
and just, and will fight everything that
is narrow minded or mean. The splen-
did advertising patronage and great
number of subscribers with which it
starts out bespeall a successful and
powerful future for it, It will support
men, and not party organizations. It
will denounce corruption and expose
fraud, and believes that the people
will sustain it. Thus believing, THE
CHICAGO EAGLE throws its banner to
the breeze and invites the respect of
its friends as it excites the fears Of its
enemies.
Chicago eagle., 1889-10-05

One thing is certain. The people
are tired of non-partisan boards. They
want to see both parties put forward
their best men, and then assume the
responsibility for the conduct of coun-
ty affairs if they win. By an
unfortunate circumstance, and the
carelessness of the Democratic nomin-
ating convention. a deadlock resulted
last fall, one of the Democratic
Commissioners refusing to keep faith
with his party. The result was non
partisan tumble, which has been un-
fortunate for all concerned.
The battle in Nov amber promises to
be more decisive, and it is to be hoped
that it will be. One of the two par
ties should have ten members of the
board. Then there would be more men
in office and less sniveling, sneaking
squealing chimpanzees, utterly devoid
of human or any other kind of blood

BOUNCE THE CARPET BAGGERS.

The Federal Offices are still filled
up with sniveling lot Of carpet-bag
gers from Southern Illinois who were
dragged in here by the Morrison and
other influences The carmine-headed
Spangler is still a postofice inspector,
and the main office and stations are
filled with imported political yermin.

are bounced these snealing country
jakes should be turned loose

LAWYER MUST RETIRE.

GroUing Opposition to the Windy Con-
qreSSman in the Second District.
So far as his political career is con
cerned, it would appear as if Congress-
man LAWYERS race was run. There are
many reasons for this.
In the first place, he set very bad
example for others to follow by bolting
the regular nomination of Alderman
Sheridan in the Nineteenth Ward last
spring. Sheridan was regularly placed
in the field by Democratic primary
the fairest ever held in the ward.
Lawler bolted this nomination, ran
his own cousin as an Independent, made
deal with the Republicans, and
elected him over the regular Democrat.
He thus has built up powerful OPP
position in his own ward by his own
act
In the second place, he has inter
fered in an entirely unnecessary man
ner in a fight in a strong Irish society.
Not only has he interfered unnecessa-
rilv, but very extensively. Asa result
he has antagonized some of the lead
ing Irish-Americans in a strong Irish
American district.
In the third place, his great labors,
outside of talking about himself have
been confined to securing jobs for his
relatives i'll either the City Hall or
Government building He is very i'm
partial in such matters.
Inside of nine months a convention
will be held in the district to nom
mate his successor. There is abun-
dance Of good Democratic material to
choose from. Daniel Corkery, the
wealthy and highly respected coal
dealer; Lawrence +. McGann, the
popular Superintendent of Streets
Frank Murphy, the rising young law
yer; and last but not least, the popu-
lar and ever victorious Representative
Joseph P. Mahoney. Any one of these
gentlemen would make highly cred
liable record in Congress, and would
be free from buffoonery and demagogy.
1t is safe to say that if any or either
of them gave 50 worth of flour to
starving miners out Of a rs, 600 salary,
they would not go around the country
blowing about it, and using the fact
to make political capital.

CHEEK, CHEEK, CHEEK!

The legal typewriters, tuft-hunters,
and briehess advocates are again in
their glory. They are going to nomin-
ate candidates for Judges at bar pri-
mary. This sort Of thing should stop
short. It is an insult to the intelli-
gence of Chicagoans.
There is enough manhood among the
100000 voters of Chicago TO select com
petent judges When the people want
legal advice, they are able to pay for it.
Free advice from a legal mob is not
wanted

believe in a false idea of economy. If
they raise the numerical strength of
the working force, which they will be
obliged to do for shames sake, they
will lower the salaries of other EN-
ployes. This is mean and contemplate
and is the poorest kind of poor policy.

Gently visited the Chicago Postoflice

GOD HELP The SCHOOLS!

Every friend Of our grand public
school system should awaken to the
fact that persons are being appointed
teachers in the schools who are utterly
untitled for such responsible positions.
Some of them do not know as much as
the scholars they teach, and are veri-
table laughing-stocks in the presence
of their pupils But how can it be
otherwise, when men who can hardly
write their own names are appointed
on the Board of Education?

rich a lot Of contractors and dig i'm

THE NEXT COUNTY BOARD.
A General Desire That Both Parties Put
Up Good Men-No More Hermaph-

The most important part of the elec-
ton this fall will be the choosing of fif-
teen County Commissioners. Ten of
these will be taken from the city of
Chicago, including the annexed dis
tricts. The other five will be taken
from the cabbage fields and sour kraut
factories of the country towns.
The terms of the following Commits
sioners expire: Edmanson, Gilmore.
Schubert, Hayes, Stainer, Pluckebaum,
Dahl and Brenan, Democrats, and
Blair, Hodgkins, Englehardt, Kimbell,
Cool, Spencer and Senne, Republicans.
OF these the majority will be candi-
dates for reelection. Senne, the
Chairman, will certainly run again, as
he has donned his bob-tailed coat, and
exhibits all of the premonitory symp-
toms of campaign fever
Messrs Edmanson Brenan, and
Schubert are almost certain to be re-
nominated by the Democrats. They

The COUNTY BOARD.

The November election promises to
be the closest held in Chicago for
years. Its most important feature will
be the election of an entirely new
County Board. Men, and not meas
ures, will be the issue, and the people
who have of late exhibited strong in
dependent tendencies will take their
pick of the nominees. The EAGLE
will keep them advised of the fitness
or unftness of candidates without re-
gard to party ties. 1t will not mince
matters, but will tell the truth, and call
a spade spade every time. Several
Of the members of the present board
are wholly untitled for the response

AN EXTRAORDINARY SPECTACLE

The exposure, in another column, of
the fact that Chicago's City Sealer is
obliged to divide the profits of his
Office with an outsider is startling
one If this had occurred under some
other administrations people would not
have wondered at it. But here is the
holy Onahan trying to close the saloons
on Sunday, and the administration at
the same time not only permitting but
ordering a "divy" between one of its
officials and another citizen. Well.
well This is the government which
permits gambling to go on all over the
city and persecutes saloon keepers.
This is the administration which perse-
cutes City Treasurer Roesing, but
makes the City Sealer "whack up"
and let's the Oil Inspector keep all he
gets because he is the Mayors son-in-
law
Chicago eagle., 1889-10-05
SUNDAY CLOSING.

The attempt of the city administra-
ton to close the saloons on Sunday is
a stupid political blunder 1t alien
ates a powerful element whose help
has always been relied upon in every
campaign, and does no possible good.
The fact is, the Mayor has a Jonah in
the person of Comptroller Onahan.
There is a little too much Of that wor-
thy around the City Hall just now.
His friendship proved fatal to the last
administration. 1t is likely to do as
much for the present one.

RESPECTING RESPIRATION.


 IN each respiration an adult inhales one pint of air.
 AN adult must have at least 36O nters of air an hour.
 THREE-F1FTHs of the total carbonic acid Is thrown of in the daytime.
 WHILE standing the adult respiration Is twenty-two; while lying, thirteen.
 THE superficial surface of the lungs, 1. e., of their aveolar spaces, is 200 square yards.
 THE pulmonary surface gives oil 150 grammes of water daily in the state of vapor.
 THE amount Of air respired in twenty four hours Is 10000 liters (about 10000 quarts).
 Two-THIRDs of the oxygen absorbed in twenty-four hours is absorbed during the night hours-from six p. m. to six a. m.
 A MAN respires sixteen to twenty times @ minute, or 10000 times day; child twenty-five to thirty-tive times minute.
 THE amount of oxygen absorbed fin twenty-four hours is 800 liters (744 grammes), and the amount of carbonic acid gas expired in the same time 400 liters (911.5 grammes).
 TIE heart sends through the lungs 800 liters of blood hourly, and 10000 liters, or 5000 gallons, daily. The duration of in- spiration is fve-twelfths, of expiration seven-twelfths, of the whole respiratory act; but during sleep inspiration occupies ten-twelfths of the respiratory peridd.

ITEMIzEo INFORMATION:

THE longest distance over which conver. sation by telephone is maintained IS about 75O miles, nasnely, from Portland, Me, to Buffalo, N. Y.

 TIE maximum power generated by an electric motor is seventy-tive horsepower, but experiments indicate that one hundred horsepower will soon be reached.
 THE fastest time made by an electric rail- way is a mile a minute by small experi- mental car; the fastest time yet attained by street railway system is twenty miles an hour.
 TIE four new States bring in an area about equal to that of all New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Del aware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana combined. It is an area three times as great as the British Isles.
 A CLoUD-BURsT is violent dOWnpour o1 rain in large quantity and over very linn ited area It is caused by the accumulation of clouds saturated with moisture within certain area, until the pressure becomes SC great that the whole mass of water is sud. denly precipitated, and naturally causes great destruction.
 THE "Victoriu Cross" Is 0 Maltese cross of bronze, with Queen Victoria's crest In the center, underneath which is an escroil bearing the inscription "For Valor." It is awarded to officers and men in the British army who show conspicuous bravery in the presence of the enemy. The order was in- augurated in June, 1856, at the close of the Crimean war.
