WHAT MAKES ANARCHISTS.

People who deplore the existence of
discomfort among the working classes of.
this free country should look to the
persons who administer the laws to
find reason for the increase of popu-
Lar Impotence.
If they look closely they will dis
cover that in almost every instance the
so-called blind Goddess of Justice"
regains her sight when a defendant
with money bags is on trial. The rich
defendant is generally acquitted, no
matter what his offense or crime may
have been.
Poor men are generally convicted.
Justice is always blind in their cases,
and incurably so. A man who steals
loaf of bread, or a man who talks to
his brother workingmen about their
wrongs, and how to right them, go to
Joliet for terms ranging from one year
to life sentence.
The EAGLE invites the attention of
the community to a prosecution which
is soon to occur. The most notorious
gambler in America is to be tried in
Chicago upon the indictment of the
Grand Jury ofthe county.
He boasts that he can buy himself off.
Can he?
If he can, then the law will have re-
ceived worse setback than all the
bombs on earth could give it. Once
convince the people that justice is a
thing of barter and sale, and see what
will happen.
The people are tired of jury-bribing
They are tired of corruption in the
courts, of all places on the earth. And
if the courts are not kept pure if the
jury system is a failure; if MONEY
alone decides what is right and what
is wrong, the American People will be
heard from, and don't you forget it

THE UNION LEAGUE CLUB.

The Union League Club has decided
to celebrate Washington's birthday on
a mammoth scale.
1t is to be grand popular demon
stration" at the Auditorium.
That is to say, it will be popular
with everyone who receives an elabor-
ate, steel-engraved invitation, and who
can wear dress-suit.
The common people are not wanted
If George Washington was on earth
the Union League Club would not
recognize him.
Washington was patriot He was
no snob, and his stomach would re-
volt at the Anglicized lisp of these
plutocratic decorators of his birth
day.
There are some sensible men at the
Union League. They joined the club
to extend their business.
Appetite and asininity hold I'M
rivaled sway there, however.

YERKES AND 0NAH6N.

Mayor Onahan has again been max
ing himself ridiculous. He has been
bothering Mr. Yerkes for some S35, 900
which he claims fo- rent of the La
Sale street tunnel
Is Mayor Onahan going to evict the
cable?
Is Mayor Onahan going to put So
600 North Siders to the inconvenience
of being bridged ~ agsmEr:ss:s;s ssasataEs
LET us hear i Ell '7-T" srsSs ss'a
What good was the old tunnel before
Yerkes 60 hold of it? 1t was so damp,
dirty and noisome that no well-rega-
lated toad would live in it. 1t was 50
lily paved, so foul smelling, and 50
full of stagnant water, that no sober
man would drive through it, and no
drunken man would live to get out.
. Yerkes took hold of it and paved it
with granite. He made it Respondent
with electric lights. He whitewashed
its walls, and ran his cable through it,
making it at once a delight to the eye
and a benefit to the people.
Onahan wants to abolish it, because
it is so pleasing.
If there is anything he doesn't want
to abolish, it must have little value.
Mayor Onahan is a great man.

CHARLES E. FELTON,.

Mr. G. E. FELTON,, for eighteen years
the Superintendent of the City Bride
well was the most efficient public SER
want that Chicago ever had. Cour-
teous, upright and steadfast, he united
the best qualities of gentleman to the
instincts of an able public officer. The
result was alike creditable to Mr..
FELTON, and to the city.
Mr.. FELTON, made the Blidewell q
model prison. He found it anameless
monstrosity when he took hold of it.
The removal of this splendid officer,
high-toned gentleman and veteran
Democrat will add another blot to the
Mosaic administration of His Whiskers.

JOSEPH STOCKTON.

Joseph Stockton, of the transporta-
ton firm of Joseph Stockton & Co.,
was born 10 Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. 10,
1884. He came to Chicago in the
spring of 1852. He was in the trans
portation business until the war broke
out, when he enlisted in the Board of
Trade Regiment. He was in numer-
GUS battles, and at the death of Lieu
tenant Colonel Wright, at Yicksburg,
he was promoted to his place. After
the fall of Vicksburg, Colonel Stock
ton took command of his regiment, and
retained the position until the close of
the war. Colonel Stockton proved
himself a brave and fearless soldier,
and he was brevetted Brigadier General
for meritorious conduct in the field.
Colonel Stockton is an ardent Repub-
hcan, and has been solicited repeatedly
to stand for public preferment. His
transfer firm is now one of the largest
in the city.

FRED HAUN, a Collinwood (Ohio)
man, was taken prisoner at Kingston,
Ga, in '64, and was stripped of ac-
couterments, among which was a cap
box with his name stenciled upon it.
He escaped and thought no more of
the cap box until it was found by a
Miss Kerns in coal shed near Collin
wood last week How it gravitated to
its owner during twenty-five years
wandering is a mystery.

A BURIED treasure is being sought
in northwest Bengal. A poor Brahmin
at Monghyr possessed an amulet which
had been in his family for generations,
and as he was almost starving he took
it to a goldsmith for sale. The gold
smith broke it up to test the metal and
found in the hollow center a scrap of
paper covered with minute writing.
This being deciphered by a learned
pundit, the Brahmin learned that close
by the shrine of Pr Shah Nepal is
well dating back to Mohammedan
times, and at certain distance from
the well are hidden fourteen lakhs of
rupees. The Brahmin has obtained
government sanction to excavate the
ground, a..rich neighbor furnishing the
funds on condition of receiving share
of the treasure.

THEY RUN FAST ENOUGH.

Because the city ordinances require
the railroads to run as slow as ten
miles an hour inside the city limits,
some people are kicking.
Perhaps it is the undertakers who
are finding fault They are the prin-
cipal benefciaries of lightning express
speed through the crowded NUM-
cipality.
People who want to beat the record
in going and coming from their far
distant, lightly taxed homes should
either buy wings or move into town.

OBITUARY..
JOHN J. SoLON.

Mr.. John j. Scion, one of the best
liked and most popular men in Chica-
go, died on Saturday last at his resi-
dence, 140 East Chicago avenue. He
had been i'll for three weeks, first,
with the prevailing epidemic, the grip,
and then with typhoid fever, which re-
suited from it. Mr.. Scion was born
at Dundee, Kane County, ILL.,, and was
a thoroughly self-made man. By in
dustry, perseverance, and admirable
tact he built up an immense milk bust
ness, and accumulated a handsome
fortune. At the same time, his gener-
Gus disposition, frank and manly ways,
and charitable heart won for him
thousands of friends. Mr.. Scion was
man of quiet tastes and I'M
assuming manners. Repeatedly urged
to become a candidate for public office,
he just as frequently declined. He
never neglected his duties as citizen,
however, and, while he was an ardent
Democrat, he never allowed party
lines to interfere with his friendships.
No wonder, then, that the great Cathe-
dral of the Holy Name was filled to
overlooking with sincere mourners
who regretted John J. Solon's untimely
taking off. The solemn high mass of
requiem which was chanted for the
repose of his soul was attended by
over two thousand persons of all ma
tionalities. The funeral was one of
the largest that ever left Chicago.
Among the great number in attend
ance, besides the relatives, were Hon.
NJ. B. Hereby, Michael H. Hereby,
W.B. Hereley,P. H. Tierney, W. NJ. De-
vine, Dennis Mccarthy DR.. j. e. Keefe,

companied by their wives or other
members of their families. Mr.. Scion
was married twelve years ago to Miss
Hannah O'Malley, and their family
life was a very happy one. Five small
children, with the widow, mourn the
loss of a father and husband, while
Dudley, Mark, Frank, Cassie and
Mary Scion and Mrs. w. H. Adams
will ever keep green the memory of a
noble-hearted brother.

The general usefulness of woman
was never discovered until necessity
compelled her to determine and de-
monstrate it for herself The latest
manifestation of her varied capabili-
ties, says the court Journal, is in
the line of so-called party lady-helper,
which offers considerable scope to her
ingenuity. This useful parsonage will,
for stated amount, relieve weary
hostesses of the task of catering for
and entertaining a host of lively girls
and boys and their juvenile friends
home for the holidays. She must be
able to superintend the cooking of
seasonable dainties the decoration of
rooms, tables, and Christmas trees,
the preparation of private theatricals
and tableaux, and the fashioning of ju-
venile party costumes.

THE hangman in New South Wales
is looked upon with such horror that
he recently found himself completely
boycotted on reaching Wagga Wagga
to perform an execution. The cabmen
refused unanimously to drive him from
the railway station, the porters also
declined to carry his luggage, and the
unlucky executioner was obliged to
trudge off on foot, struggling with his
various traps.

"BUDGE" is the name of a tame
crow belonging to Miss Orie Wheeler,

alone and returns to his home at night
He is fond of beer, and will drink it
until intoxicated. In his rambles he
visited the depot, where he found
much to interest him. He initiates the
shouts of the conductors, and takes
delight in yelling "All aboard for Chi

JAMES ROBINSON, a farmer living
near Jacksonville, Ohio, is the owner
of a carnivorous horse which wants
nothing better for good square meal
than a fat pig. Whenever the horse
sees a pig that it can get at, it grabs
it 10y the back of the neck and shakes
it to DEATH much as a dog would shake
a rat. The horse then devours the pig
with great relish.

In spite of all the hopes entertained
of the spread of Volapuk, there seems

be universal language, it will be the
English. One hundred years ago less
than 100000 people used the Eng
lish tongue. Now it is spoken by near
ly 10O,000,000 while only 60,000,00O
people use the German, and 45,00O,0 900
the French tongue. The language in
which Shakespeare spoke and wrote
will undoubtedly always be the chief
medium of communication either in
commerce, literature, or in everyday
life.
