Men not Beggars.

Editor PICAYUNE.-Tn bill intro duced by Featherston, about gov ernment loaning money to farmers, has tendency to deceive and de- grade people. The thing is delus- ion, and as the members of Congress are generally men of good sense and sound judgment, they will not pass as cranky thing as Featherston's bill. As independent men, next to Proyl- dence, we look to our brains and hands to get along; and as sensible men we know that the government is the peoples creature, and that we have to keep the government, not the government us. Further, as prudent men, people will dethrone Czar Reed and his co-workers, and put Demo- crats in their places. And last, but not least, the people of Nevada coun. ty will pay little more attention to the Dispatch'S ahsurdties.

The NEVADA CouNrY PIcAYUNE is evidently whooping the boys up in that county and seems to be quite sanguine of Democratic success this year. Whether Bro. Gardner suc- ceeds in getting Democratic ad- ministration in Nevada county or not, he certainly deserves credit for the energy displayed in working up tie Democracy Howard County Press.
 Thanks. 1t is our desire and pur- pose to make this paper second to no country weekly in the State, in gath ering news and furnishing live, read able matter. We always take our Democracy straight, and strike from the shoulder in defense of her principles.

Gag law and brutal force is still being exercised by Czar Reed and the Republican corruptionists in Con- gress. Only twelve days were given for discussing and amending the ln- famous Mckinley high tariff bill, The Rads complained at the Demo- crats in the last Congress for limiting debate to two months. See the differ ence-only F days given one side, and two months by the other. Down with the Republican party.

In Congress the Republicans are pushing the bill increasing tariff taxes on the necessaries of life, to make the rich manufacturers richer at the expense of the poor consumer. In the near future, when Democrats get control, the people will get relief, but not before.

Died.

Near Brisbane, Nevada county, Ark, with child bed fever, May 3, 1890, Mrs. Mary E. Bailey, wife of E. l.. Bailey, daughter of lchibod and B'Linda Herring-was born near Pine Bluff, Jefferson county, Ark. :, December 20, 1SiS, age II years, months and l5 days; she became q member of the Baptist church III Sept. 1878, and lived a consistent member until the hour of death. 4 talk was made by Rev. Will Erwin to a large and attentive congrega- tion. We bow in humble submission to the will and judgement of our great ruler in moving our sister from her labOrs here on earth; we realize the fact that we have lost true and worthy friend, the family a most af fectionate wife and mother, and the father and mother dutiful child. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved family in the loss of their loved one and hope It is for their welfare.
 Sister thou vert very very lovely,
 While on earth thou did remain,
 We feel now SO sad aud lonely,
 But our loss is thy great gain
 Thou hast gone ta live with Jesus,
 And with loved ones gone before,
 Where no sickness ever enters,
 And sad pariings come no more,
 The flowers blOometh for awhile
 Jesus plucks the fairest ones
 Oh may we be reconced,
 And say, "Thy will be done"
 Dear sister we will try 10 meet thee,
 In a world that's free from siu;
 May you be our guardian angel
 Till from earth by heaven we're gained. Sleep on, dear sister, sweetly sleep,
 Till God shall bid thee rise,
 And mid the teeming millions there,
 Ascend the flaming skies.
 The friends are many passing by,
 That look upon thy tomb
 In fondest memory thou art yet.
 Amid their every home.
 Mother, brother, sisters, do not weep,
 We know it tears your heart;
 The time speeds on when we shall meet
 With her and never part.

the City Hall. A person named Moore,
who was indicted some time ago in
connection with that nefarious concern,
is the principal agent. His hacker is
a New Orleans gambler named Bush,
and his sub-agents are a saloonkeeper
named Hogan, who also runs or has
run gambling den; Mike Lawler, also
a saloonkeeper; and man named Err
hey, who is clerk somewhere. 1t is
estimated that these fellows take 5000, :
600 per annum out of Chicago.
Encouraged by the success of these
people, the Kentucky lottery has es-
tablished an agency here under one
Morton, ostensibly a real estate man.
The Mexican lottery has also been
planted here.
"There are laws and ordinances
against these lottery agencies. Why
are they not enforced? Agents, man
ayers, or the sellers of tickets may be
fined not to exceed $4,000 for first
offense. A second offense is punish
able by fine and Imprisonment not to
exceed year in the County Jail.
Will the Mayor suppress these lottery
agencies? They are well known to
the police"
Now that the Tribune has begun
the fight let it keep it up. The sharks
will then have to retire to the Louisi-
ana bayous and the Mexican swamps.

fools ought to be sent to the county
jail or the lunatic asylum.
But the saddest spectacle of all at
the Auditorium meeting was the Rev.
Frank NJ. Bristol, a Methodist clergy
man. Hitherto Bristol, though known
to be a pulpiteering demagogue, had
some reputation as a man of intelh-
gence and considerable ability. He
completely demonstrated his invincible
ignorance of contemporary events in
his speech, his disloyalty as a citizen
by encouraging foreign faction, and
his unftness for his calling by indul-
gence. in long exploded falsehoods and
foul and ranting bigotry.
1t is worthy of note that the demon
stration of the British factionists and
the utterances of Bristol were allowed
to pass without comment by any of the
leading dailies of this city.
The dailies deemed them beneath
notice. Perhaps they were right.

region. They poison the atmosphere.
They breed epidemics. They kill more
people in a year than were killed in
the fiercest battles of the war
They constitute a deadly nuisance.
They exist in their putrid state con-
trary to the laws and ordinances of the
city. Why does not Mayor Cregier
see that these ordinances are en-
forced?
Their disease breeding, rotten, cor
rupt, and putrid state is due to the
operations of the Stock Yards Com
pany and packers.
The refuse of the packing houses,
useless, tlecaying animal matter, the
rinsings of the slaughter-houses, the
reekings of the yards are poured into
those so-called commercial waterways
each day bv the packers. The stuff
as it is poured in is putrid and un-
wholesome. 1t becomes more so when
it becomes still and stagnant. Mayor
Cregier knows this. Health Commits
missioner De Wolf knows it. Why
do they not act accordingly? Why do
they permit the slaughter of babes
and women to satisfy the greed of mil
lionaire packers? When those million
aire packers and stock-yards magnates
bring about strike, they loudly call
for protection against the violence of
mobs. Their appeals are promptly re-
sponded to. Will not the appeal of
the people voiced by the EAGLE
against their methods of public pois-
oning be responded to?
Is the Mayor to forget his oath of
Office through fear of offending the Ar
mours, Allertons, Cudahys, Botsfords,
Dennys, Fowlers, Ell al?
We shall see. The EAGLE will do
its duty in this matter until the pack
ers are forced to send a stream of lake
water through the South Fork and
South Branch which will dilute and
render innocuous the putrid matter
which they pour into both.

FATHER GUEDRY'S WORK.

What the Pastor of st. Hncent's Has Ac-
compiished, and What He Intends Doing.
The splendid Catholic parish of st.
Vincent's, located in the finest resi-
dence portion of the North Division, is
to be congratulated. Father Guedry,
the esteemed pastor of the church, is
now getting plans ready to build fine
school house, which will cost at least
$15,OO0 When completed it will be a
credit to the Catholics of the North
Division. 1t will be erected on
four lots owned by the church, and
located on Osgood street just
south of Webster avenue. Father
Guedry is also making preparations for
the erection of handsome new church
edifice. The present building is ca
pacious one, and the only inconven-
fence attached to it at present is the
fact that the church proper is in the
second story. This. however, is tenn
porary difficulty that, when overcome,
as it will be in a short time by the
erection of new temple OF worship,
will be regarded very lightly by any
critic who is now disposed to speak
harshly of it.
The parish has made wonderful
progress, especially since it's present
beloved pastor took hold, and consid-
ering the many difficulties under which
he has labored, the only wonder is that
he has done so well.
We understand that while Father
Guedry is busily engaged at present
on the school house, he lis not losing
sight of the fact that a new church is
necessary. 1t is his ambition to build
one that will be credit, and he has
now, it is understood, plans for a fine
church edifce under consideration.
Many churches have been spoiled by
too much haste in building.
The acoustics of church are the
most important feature of it, and
Father Guedry belongs to an order
which recognizes this fact.
The building of the new st. Vim
cents Church and school will add
greatly to the value of North Side
property, fact which will greatly en-
nance Father Guedry's popularity in
district where his enterprise is now
greatly appreciated.

Press Clippings.

There is no finer creation of civilized
life than the modern newspaper. Every
great invention of the world is made to
pay tribute to it. Every art and every
science help in its production. The
best writers of the day and the best
artists contribute to its columns. In
the newspapers may be found refec-
tons of the old and practiced man of
science, fiery utterances of the orator,
calculations of the fnancier, dreamy
imaginings of the poet, worldly max
inns of the man of business. Read the
printed columns and in imagination
hear the rush and roar and hustle of
the whole living world, hear the de-
spairing shrek of the unhappy woman
hear the softly modulated tones of the
Christian minister as he tells his fash
ionable congregation the good tidings
of peace on earth, goodwill toward
men" From one quarter of the world

JOSEPH S0KUP.

Joseph Sokup, eX-Assessor of the,
West Town, was born in Pragues the
capital of Bohemia, in Austria, in lS45.
When years of age his parents came
to this country, locating IN Western
Virginia. In a short time they re-
moved to Galena, and thence to Chi
cago. Here Joseph attended the Wash
ington school up to the age of IA, when
he went to work for G. H. Mccormick,
the great reaper manufacturer. After
four years of remunerative industry
here, he picked up the harness bust
ness in very brief time. In 1861, at
the outbreak of the war, he entered
into contract making harnesses for
the Government for about three years,
but was transferred to duty, between
1864 and 1865, on the Nashville and
Chattanooga Road. At the close of
the war Mr.. Sokup established the
hardware and tin-roofng business in
company with his brother, and is en-
gagged in the business at present. In
1879 he was elected Assessor by a ma
iority of 564 over Pleasant Amick, a,
very formidable adversary In 1892
he was elected by majority of 211
over the same opponent. The cleo
ton occurred on Tuesday, and Mr..
Sokup was placed upon the ticket as
late as II o'clock on the night of the
Sunday Immediately preceding. Mr..
Sokup was always ambitious. When
he was in his teens he was taken from
the cars, bent upon going to Cairo
with the Lincoln Guards, under Cap
tain Michaelski, afterward killed at
Chattanooga when Colonel Of the
Twenty fourth.
