WILLOW Springs Picnic GROVE.

Willow Springs picnic grove is ar
island beautifully situated upon the
Desplaines River, eighteen miles from
the Court House, on the Line of the
Chicago and Alton Railroad The cars
land you within stones throw of the
entrance to the grove. There is a
Deputy Sheriff stationed there who has
full power to arrest any one that dares
to modest or disturb the peace of the
picnickers. 1t is conceded by all to be
the best equipped and most complete
picnic resort within the radius of Chi
cago. Among the many attractive i'm
provements upon the grounds is the
large and commodious dancing pavilion,
60x100 feet.

good check house, ice-house, boat
house, police station, and all buildings
necessary to equip first-class picnic
grove. The buildings are all single
roof, which affords shelter in case of
rain for 1000 people.
A new feature is a merry-go-round,
or carrousel, of the very latest pattern.
The baseball grounds are centrally
located and kept clean and smooth;
free swings and forty lunch tables.
scattered throughout the grove; fifty
rowboats and course for boat-racing

CREGiER AND The ST0CK-YARDS
MAGNATES.

Mayor Cregier and his acting Cor
poration Counsel, Mr.. Darrow, recon-
mend that the main branch of the
Chicago River shall be dredged and
cleansed by special assessment.
Why does Cregier stop at the main
branch?
Why does he not recommend that
the other branches and forks shall be
dredged and cleansed also 10y special
assessment?
Why, for instance. does he not rec

THAT STEAM AND POWER 0RDf-
NANCE AGAIN.

That so-called Steam-P ower-Light
Heat ordinance promoted by the AL
lertons, Hollys, Martins, etc, intro
duced in the Council by Aid. Lyke
under the peculiar circumstances re-
lated in THE EAGLE last week, has
received another set -back, which is all
quite proper. 1t has been sent to the
Committee on Streets and Alleys
South for a report. The committee is
a fair one. 1t consists of Hickey, w.
J. O'Brien, Summerfeld, Gorton,
Cremer, Madden, Kinney, Chasey,
Gahan, Mcknight, German, Kenny.
OF these, Hickey, O'Brien, Cremer,
Gahan, and perhaps Kenny and Sum
merfeld, will consider the order on its
merits.
But close watch will have to be kept
on Railroad Telephone Gas-Trust Cor
ton, Pullman Chasey, Subdivision
Kinney, Board of- Equalization Nc
Knight, and little German.
All those fellows have axes to grind.
They evince too deep an interest in
the company. They are too ready to
pass the ordinance.
That instrument is imperfect, loosely
drawn, and entirely too comprehensive
1t leaves charges at the discretion o.
the monopoly. 1t does not sufficiently
protect against explosions. 1t makes
no proper provision for the repair o
the streets and alleys to be torn up.
In short, it proposes to use the pub
lie property for the benefit of privat,
snap and without any consideration
whatever.
1t is dangerous ordinance. IT
promoters" are well-known monopo
lists. It's champions in the Counci
are monopolists' agents Watch it.
Watch the Aldermens vote on it.

ANOTHER Attack ON Mr.. ROESNG

Another of those attempts to collect
interest on city deposits, which look so
much like Matchmaking schemes, came
up in the City Council last Monday
evening, in the shape of an order or
resolution to bring suit against Treas
urer Roesing and ex-Treasurers Plautz
Dunphy, Devine, and Brand. The or
der, being either for buncombe or
blackmail, was allowed to pass.
OF course it does not amount to any
thing, and suit cannot be brought I'M
der it, because the Corporation Counsel
has no evidence that Mr.. Roesing OF
his predecessors ever collected a cent
of interest.
Mr.. Roesing receives only that to
which he is entitled. He gives large
bond, and must, to protect himself
have custody of the funds. If he gets
interest that is his own business.

CONGRESSIONAL TIMBER.

1t is intimated that the Republicans
will soon call Congressional conyen-
lions in the Cook County districts.
The three present Republican Con-
gressmen want to be reelected They
are afraid of late convention. Their
qualifications will not stand the test of
close scrutiny. Their records are not
fawless.
In the First District "Ab" Taylor is
a candidate for the Republican NOM
ination again. Ransom W. Durham is
his opponent on that side of the house
at present. 1t would be difficult to
decide which is the most useless,
which is least fit for the place. There
is some talk of bringing out Judge
Cary or Elbridge Hanecy as compro-
mise Republican candidate. Either
would be better than Taylor or Dun
ham.
If Martin j. Russell would but ac-
cept the Democratic nomination in this
district he could be elected. He is an
able writer, good speaker, man of
broad and generous views and cultured
taste. He is as modest as he is able.
He fought for the Union and won his
spurs. No one ever heard him allude
to that fact. He would be an ideal
candidate. He would beat Taylor or
Durham out of sight.
In the Second District, the Republi-
cans think that as Lawler will not get
the Democratic nomination he will run
Independent. They are waiting to see.
Hon Joseph p. Mahoney will be the
Democratic standard-bearer, and will
win hands down.
William E. Mason may be nominated
by the Republicans of the Third Dis
trict, though some are talking of John
A. Roche, others of Pork Packer Will
lam J. Wilson. Carter H. Harrison
will carry the Democratic banner
That superannuated pedagogue and
antediluvian Miss Nancy, George E.
Adams, will be retired this fall to live
off his wife's fortune and to teacf
a Sunday-school class. He is a faded
specimen of immature craftsmanship
He will never be missed The Repub
licans will name in his stead George S
Willets, an able lawyer, a man of fore,
and ability. of fine presence and genia
manners, a scholar, a gentleman VIII
comes from stock of statesmen. Nh
Willis has already entered on hi
campaign, and, Messrs. Washburn
and Hesing having retired, his nom

are assured.

OUR IMPORTED BRITISH BIGOTS.

Some days ago an organization called
the British-American Association had
a meeting at the Auditorium Hall, in
this city, for the ostensible purpose of
protecting the free secular public
schools of America against the as
saults of Rome"
The persons composing the meeting
furported to be of British birth. There
was not much doubt about that, as the
misuse, or non-use, of his was feature
of the evening. The persons also af
fected to be citizens of the United
States. There is some doubt about
that. 1t is probably true that most of
them are yet subjects of the Hempress
of Hindia.
But, whether citizens or subjects,
their mission was peculiar. What do
those impudent, self advertised for
eigners know about free secular
schools? They have derived no advan-
tages from them, either in England or
in America. There is no such thing
as a free secular public school in Great
Britain. All are run on the voluntary
denominational fee plan, from Oxford
University to the poor-house primary.
The secular idea is so foreign to the
British mind that it sets up a She
pope for worship. That she-pope is
the infallible pontiff of the Britisher,
and blackguard lords like Marl-
borough, Manchester, and Buccleugh
are the leading lights of the she-pope's
gollege of cardinals.
All the great public schools are
bossed by the nominees of roues, arts
tocratic pimps, and riotous black
guards, who are mostly heard about il
the London divorce courts.
How can fellows educated (?) in the
! denominational sectarian schools
dominated by such licentious infu.
ences, know how to protect free secular
public schools? What do they know
them?
Their impotence is so amazing thai
it might excite comment but thei
pethods are so ludicrous that they arr
PISSED eff with a laugh.

PETERSBURG POLITICS.
The Primary and the Congressional Eiec-

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch
PETERSBURG. VA. April 4. 1890.
Even amidst the excitement caused by
the discussion rs to whether or not we
shall have primary election the question
of congressional politics IN this district Is
o matter OF much interest. As in the last
congressional campaign there VIII proOa-
bly, be two Republican candidates again IN
the field next fall. Who they will be
IL of course too early even to con-
lecture. The bitterness enCendcred
Nv the last campaign IN the
Republican ranks has not yet been as
suaged. There seems to be an irrecon-
cilanle conflict as between the Mahonelte
and anti Mahoneite factions, and that this
conflict will be shown IN the next contest
there seems al present little or no doubt.
John Nj. Langston Will be q candidate for
reelection. He saws so himself and his
friends saw so for him. His paper here has
already hoisted his name as the next Re
publican candidate. and he will doubtless
make even rs vigorous fight Tor the
honor of representing his race as he did two
wears ago. The name OF Colonel James u.
Brady has also been mentioned for the
nomination. The Colonel served one
term in Congress, but he says the mention
Of his name at present is unauthorized
This NAV be true, but If the nomination
were extended to him he would hardly de
rline it. He has been the faithful coun
sci of Langston in the latter's contest fol
Mr. Venable's seat in Congress, and Il
is hardly probable that he would
personally oppose LangstOn for the nomi
nation. General Malone has no liking for
either Langston or Brady, and if either o
them should run for Congress he will CD
pose him with all his might and influence
And hege it may be said that the General
