ant tea party before Mayor McDOnough- They
may rage and frown. yet our infiexlDle mayor
teecnss them that they must respect and obey
the law he takes hold OF our government as
an honest. straightforward citizen, and not as a
snrewd politician who Is carefully pulling the
wires for another term. We ought 10 say TO
him. Give yourself no concern about that:
leave that TO US. man who does not mean TO

about stealing. The law never hurts until il is
violated, aud hence there needs be no fear to
those who do not violate it.
There has always been among all people a
reward for well doing. There always will be
praises for the virtuous; II there were not.
many would be hindered and discouraged in
well doing IL there was a reward for evil doing
many would contest for the prize. What mean
the monuments in our streets If not rewards
Tor well doingg .. how many wives children
and mothers win rise up 10 the judgment and
call Mayor McDonoUgh blessed for his fight
