allied has the policy of the party be-
come that Democratic boss has more
show with a certain class of 'Repub.i-
can officials than straight member of
the grand old party
"The Citizen does not blame the
Democrats to take advantage of Re
publican weakness and venality, bat it
blames Republicans for being weak and
venal. How can party hope to sue
coed when it looks for allies in the
camp of its enemies? How can it hope
to succeed when it ignores the Amer
lean Constitution and allows paltry
bigots to dictate its nominations?
How can it hope to succeed when a
certain number of its alleged members
go to the polls with daggers whetted
for the disembowelment of their party
candidates?
"The Democrats, very naturally,
look upon the Republican state of
chaos with infinite glee. They see
looming upon the horizon, owing to
local Republican narrowness and
idiocy, a Democratic Legislature,
Democratic Senator and a Democratic
President. Behind these stalks free
trade. No wonder the Democrats
laugh and hold high carnival. No
wonder that they have already more
than recovered the spirit that was we'll
nigh broken by the sweeping Repub-
ican victory of 1883. The Republican
theorists and bigots have estranged or
driven backward the elements that
made the victory of 1888 memorable
in American history. Illinois is men
aced at every point. There is a
wooden horse within its gates, ridden
by the Ancient Order of Deputies, and
manned by the moral lepers who pre-
fer Knownothingism to American
equality and brotherhood. Well may
the Republican party say to the trait
ors, LIE. them be auathema.

HONEST JOHN SHEA.
The Popular Police Captain Gets Dia-
nond Star


BloRd Star.
Captain John Shea, thanNhom there
is no more popular officer on the police
force, was presented with magnifi-
cent diamond star last Saturday night.
The event took place at the Captains
residence, No. 1852 Wabash avenue,
when he was presented with a hand
some gold star, set with a diamond, by
a number of his friends. The COM
pany, which numbered over a hundred
citizens, assembled al s o'clock, and
organized by electing James i. Healy
President and John C.. Schubert Secre-
tary. The presentation speech was
made by the newly elected South Town
Assessor. Jacob w. Richards, who
spoke of Captain Shea as good citi-
zen and thoroughly efficient police
officer. Speeches were also made BY
Mr.. Purcell, Captain Long, Rev
Father Kelly and many others. After
the speeches luncheon was served, and
most enjoyable evening passed.
During the evening the following poem,
written by Rev. Father Johu Waldron,
was read by Major w. c. Mcclure in
his able manner:
TO JOHN SHEA.
All hail All hail! Oh, homes John, thy deeds
above shall be
Like stars so bright that shine at nigh, DER
lowly Galilee.
How shall we praise a noble soul, great and
generous heart
Oerdowing with al virtues that are its counter
part?
Gay songs OF old the bard did sim and praised
the conqueror's name,
And begged for him unendiny years, and begged
undying fame;
But widows wept, AMI orphans moaned, and
cursed the cruel hand
That drove the steel and drew the blood that
Redeemed all the land.
No widows weep, no orphans moan, , blood is
on thy brow,
But yet we know you well deserve this blooming
laurel bough
Then, bard of old, come sing your songs, AND
strike the tunetul Tyre,
Come sound the praise Of noble John, the
bravest of his sire.
And yet another sacred love holds place withir
thy breast,
o, Emerald Isle o, Isle of Saints! o, lane
by Patrick blest,
To you her heart forever turns, in sorrow or il
mrth
And We, like him. have learned to bless the lane
that gave him birth.
And thus it is that thou hast gained our hearts
and all our love;
May God rropitious look on thee from Hi brigh
throne above;
May He thy great protector be, in peril as il
strife,
And give to thee, John Shea, long and gloriou
life
May peace, and calm, and holy love- and 10,
serene be thine
And may thy Deeds like stars in heaven, foreve
brightly shine;
May roses then, with ne'er thorn, bloom eve
in Thy way.
That leadeth thee o, honest one, to fair eterna
day!
Accept then, o, Captain Shea, the present tina
make,
And with the best of wishes the sparkling dia
mond take;
And though the gift be small no words can we
impart
The Joy and loving ecstasy that fill each CRATE
full heart.

Railway. Crossings.

Ii may not be true. but it seems as
though more people were killed at grade
crossings than formerly. Are people
growing more careless, or what is the
trouble 1t certainly brings up the ques-
ton as to whether grade crossings can
not be done away. In some States this
is required. In other States the re-
quirement was made in the case Of new
lines Of road Some roads have vol
unfairly avoided these crossings in the
construction Of their lines. Some lines
have voluntarily changed from grade
to bridge or tunnel crossings. Some
crossings at grade may be counted as
reasonably safe in view Of long stretch
es Of road ia sight, while others are
dangerous, being located al sharp turns
in the road. There is scarcely one Of
these latter at which some fatal acci-
dent has not at some time happened.
Some Of these it would be difficult to
change without extraordinary expense.
Yet, they ought to be changed. Peo-
pie will be careless. Besides, there
are aged and infrm, and deaf and par
tally blind people, children and incom-
petent, at all times driving on our high
ways. They are peculiarly exposed at
these grade crossings on account of in
ability to fully care for themselves
They need protection, or else they must
be deprived Of what others enjoy. If
no blame attaches TO any one because
Of the present condition Of things will
not blame attach if they continue where
it is possible to change them. We re-
gard it as a matter demanding more
attention than has been given to it.

State Treasurer Dubois transferred
the books, papers and funds Of the

his successor, Hon. Henry f. Field oi
Rutland, on the 9Th inst. The follow
ing are some OF the comments from the
State papers on Mr.. Dubois admins
tration of the office during the past eight
years;
"Hon. VIM. ii. Dubois, State treas
urer for the last eight years, turned his
office, books and moneys over to his
successor, Hon. Henry f. Field, this
afternoon. Auditor Powell and Inspec-
tor of Finance Greene settled Mr.. Du-
Bois' accounts and il is unnecessary to
say that the States money was found
to be where it belonged During Mr.
Dubois incumbency of the office he
has turned into the State treasury IN
terest on bank balances to the amount
Of Sl3, GIL, which is more than his
salary for the eight years that he has
held the office. Nearly S5,000,0 900
have been received and disbursed dur
ing that time and neither he State nor
the treasurer himself has lost dollar
through an error IN the treasurer's Of
flee. Mr.. Dubois retires from his res
pousible position with the esteem and
confidence of the entire State, as hav-
ing been careful, efficient and honest
custodian of lis Burlington
Free Press, Sth inst.
Hon. Wm. II. Dubois has ree son to
be proud OF the record he has made as
State Treasurer. During his eight
years in office he has received and paid
out five millions of dollars without the
loss Of cent TO the state or himself.
Furthermore, he has SO managed that
the state has received in interest on bank
balances S1l. 73 more than his salary
for the eight years. The state never
had an officer more devoted to Its inter-
ests or more Jealous IN discharging the /
duties of Official position.
The Auditor and Inspector of FL .
nance settled with him on Tuesday and
he has turned over the funds and books
to his successor. 1t is an interesting
fact that the amount he turns over is
within about fifteen hundred dollars of
the amount turned over to him eight
years ago.-Woodstock Standard.
