.LOCAL PRIDE AND PATRIOTISM

1T is NOW CONCEDED THAT THE
STOCKHOLDERS OF THE WORLDS FAIR

BACK. IT is ALSO CONCEDED THAT
IN ADDITION TO THEIR So, 500, 900 THE
CITY OF CHICAGO WILL NOT GET ANY

OF course
No wonder that Lord Macaulay
declared that Patriotism was the
last refuge of scoundrel."
When a Judge on the bench violates
the law, as did the Sniyeler Jenkins
of the United States Circuit Court
now under Indictment for embezzle-
ment, the press declares that "patri-
otto pride demands that he be not
prosecuted"
When a fellow like Director Of
Works Burnham is arrested for COM
plicity in the death of seventeen fire.
men, the press declares that "local
pride and patriotism demands that
he be not prosecuted.
1t is to be noted that "local pride
AMI patriotism" is always evoked on
the side of the rich and highly con-
nected culprits.
When the poor do wrong they are
punished.
There is no "local pride or patriot
ism" to help them out.
But, as the people Of Chicago have,
in hard times, been robbed of $40,
800 900, it must, of course, be charged
to "local pride and patriotism.
The thieves are rich and powerful
Hence the theft was patriotic.

of scandal. not a syllable of reproach
has been uttered against the good

the public, as well as members Of the
department, can look forward to an
era of efficiency and respectability.

The Northwestern.s Misfortune.

The reason assigned by most trav-
elers for not taking the Northwest
ern to Milwaukee is the distance OF
its Milwaukee depot from the business
center. The Northwestern is par
ticularly unfortunate in this respect
as in Chicago its depot is so located
that passengers as well as trains tt
and from its depot are liable to be
"bridged" at any time.

! a right TO interfere. 1t is bargain
between two competent contracting
parties, and it is nObody's business
but their own. They are free from
the restrictions OF any other en-
ployer or employe. and are not sub
| ject to the control or dictation of any
association or organization to which
they do not belong and to which
they do not owe any allegiance.
These considerations of the relative
/ rights OF individuals engaged in labor
pursuits, about which there ought
not to be any dispute among well-in-
formed men, do not conflict with the
obligations which workmen assume
when they voluntarily join labor or
CARNATIONS, except in the matter OF
personal honor which may be in
volved, and which may require sub
mission to the conclusions Of the
majority.
"The legal rights of such indi-
viduals unquestionably remain the
same, irrespective of the question OF
such mem bership. They always must
be deemed to reserve the abstract
legal right of repudiating such MEM
bership whenever they so prefer,
their withdrawal only occasioning
such minor forfeitures or penalties
as reasonable bylaws might infiict.
They cannot be compelled to act
against their will. Their personal
rights cannot be jeopardized.
"In that view l fail to appreciate
the anxiety of certain learned jurist
of another State, who in recent ad-
dress seemed to apprehend serious
danger TO the peace and welfare of
our free institutions occasioned by
the manifestations Of power and al
legged defiance of authority on the
part of certain labor organizations in
the Western States
I'm my opinion the citadel OF per-
sonal liberty in this country Is more
! in danger of being undermined by
the ill-considered opinions Of some
of it's judges, straining doubtful
points and involving bubbles in
favor Of corporate power, and Great
ing legal fictions to cripple the
efforts of honest labor struggling
against great odds to assert its dig
nifty, than from all the arbitrary
demonstrations that were ever made
by workingmen.
Speaking of "the tendencies of the
times" Mr. Hill said
1.-THE mercantile exchanges In our
great cities are clamoring for relief
from laws which restrict their bust
ness in accordance with old. fashioned
/
plans and notions, and they are seek
ing to have their contracts rendered
as free as the air we breathe. The
whole country is at last awakening to
the improperly of making our money
metals a matter OF merchandise by
the Government itself, and are hop
ing that a patriotic Congress, soon to
convene, will faithfully respond with
promptitude to the demands Of pub
lie sentiment in that regard. 1t is
not to be inferred that all the efforts
to which | refer to relieve business
from existing legal and other re-
straints are to be regarded as COM
mendable or can be accepted without
serious question. Those who de-
mand that money shall be free, that
usury laws shall be abolished and
the charge for the use of money shall
be matter of contract between the
borrower and the lender, can hardly
expect ready acquiescence in their
proposition.

A TAIL TWiSTER'S WELCOME.

The Associated Order of Tail
Twisters have appointed committee
to receive the Lord Mayor of Dublin
and members of the corporation OF
that city upon their arrival in Chica-
go. This committee, OF which Hon.
w. j. Hynes is the chairman, is to
rob the reception of the distinguished
guests of the most interesting feature
at first invested in it.
1t was the original intention to
have the Dublin party received as
the guests of the city of Chicago.
They have been invited here by
the Mayor and City Council, and ar
rangements were being made to give
them a royal American welcome.
A right hearty American welcome,
from the chief American city to the
chief Irish city, would be an inspir-
ing spectacle.
But inspiring spectacles are not
what the Noble Order of Picnic
Patriots care about.
They care more for notoriety, and
also more for chance to snub some
other members of their own nation
atty.
The tail-twlsting committee, OF
which the Hon. Mr. Hynes is chair
man, will be expected to cover the
strangers with blather aud make life
uncomfortable to them by telling them
a whole lot of things which they
know pretty well themselves
The city of Chicago, and the well
come of the city will be placed in
the background, and the reception
turned into a tail-twisting festival
of the most talkatiye order.
1t is to be noted that, in making
up the Tail-TwistiDg Reception Com
mittee, many leading Irishmen,
whose services in the Irish cause
have not been confined to blather,
have been left off. OF course they
were left off to emphasize the i'm
portance of the laxative Tail
Twisters who were left on.
Among those "snubbed' by the
self-seeking tail-twisters might be
mentioned Hon. John f. Fnerty,
Alexander Sullivan, Daniel Cookery,
William O'Connell, Congressman
Mccain, Maj W. c. Mcclure, Capt.
Lawrence r. Buckley, Hon. Matthew
p. Brady, Hon. David Sullivan, Hon.

honey, Hon. NJ. ]. Keane anC
others too numerous to mention.
or course, the City Council anC
authorities will proceed to do thei
part toward honoring Lord Mayo
Shank and party, but whatever the
do will be robbed Of much of its yalu
by the predominating influence Of
Tail Twisting Committee of the fac
tion fight order

ROBBiNG THE PEOPLE.

The people should read the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court, and
then see how much right the Pres
byterian Theological Seminary has to
escape taxation on $50 residences and
fifteen acres of land on Fullerton,
Belden and Sheffield avenues.
Land belonging to an institution Of
learning upon ,chich buildings or institu-
tons are not located, and auhich is not used
EXCLUSIVELY By the corporation, Is sub
ject to taxation"
The words quoted were used by the
Supreme Court of Illinois, in the
matter of this same Presbyterian
Theological Seminary, which always
tried to get out of paying its just
dues, and can he found on page $50
of Volume CT. of Freeman's Illinois
Supreme Court Reports.
The County Collector oa Cook
County sued this same Theological
Seminary of the Northwest, in 1880,
for taxes. There were then no resi-
dences on this fifteen acres of land,
yet the Supreme Court decided that
they must pay taxes.
In the face of this decision of the
highest court in the State, the Off
Gals Of Cook County have connived
with sundry parties to keep this as
sessment off of the tax books, eUen
after the North Iorn assessor has assessed
them
How is that for fraud?
Talk about anarchists defying the
law Did they ever do anything like
this?
The people should Use up and wipe
out this injustice at the polls.
If the fault is in the County Court
strike it there.
II the fault is in the County Clerks
Office, strike it there.
But strike it anywhere.
The law and the Supreme Court
have each been defled long enough.
Religious crooks are no better than
any other crooks.
Here is an extract from the Ameri-
can Encyclopedia of Law, volume A.,
quoting the consensus of the opinions
of the Supreme Courts of twenty
eight States on this subject:
"An exemption Of the property OF
religious, charitable and educational
institutions will be construed to ex-
tend only to the property actually used
for religious, charitable and educational
purposes, and not to other property held
By ii as a source Of rerenee, or capable o.
being applied to such use.
II that is not strong enough law to
protect the people in their rights,
what is?
And yet the Presbyterian Theologi
cal Seminary pays no taxes on fifteen
acres Of residence property, each
house on which rents from $s5 tc
5000 per month.
Why is this fraud permitted tC

White Stockings.

White stockings for regular wear are
an abomination. When they used to be
worn. it was because the process of dye
ing was as yet unprotected. aSd they
were the only thing to wear. Besides,
high shoes or very low slippers were then
the rule. With high shoe the stocking
was not supposed to show, and when it
lid show the effect was an unpleasant
one. 1t would be the same now. AS to
white stocking with the now ruling
Oxford, or what is commonly called
''low Shoe" it would be ugly in the ex
treme, What ankle could look trim un-
der such circumstances? The only use
for a white stocking is with white cos
tune and white low shoe.-New York

EconomY ln Foot Wear.

The neatest and most economical pos
sible foot wear is low cut shoe of a
special pattern to be worn with CATERS
to match each dress. This style of foot
clothing has many advantages. The low
shoe is easily aired, and the inner sole
will retain the odors of the feet with the
neatest of persons if not properly aired,
especially when one walks much. The
gaiter breaks the apparent size of large
foot and forms very attractive finish
when matched to costumes.
Skirts rubbing against the front of
high kid boots will wear the seam, while
the lower part remains in perfect condi-
tion. Caters, upon the other hand, can
be changed as soon as defaced and worn
with the same boot. Many pretty CATERS
are possible for different occasions and
styles of dress.-Jenness Miller Monthly.

cords have young maidens tied invis-
IDLY to the end of them, jerking them
up and down in strange fashion before
ones eyes, and unless one taketh due
caution waiting their hair upon ones
face and bosom, and their very breath,
too, between ones lips if peradventure
one omitteth to shut them bitterly and

Albani's eAllaus and Mullins For One.

Mime. Albani has for many years spent
her holidays at the Old Mar Lodge. which
is placed at her disposal by the Duke of
Fife. Albani was there as usual this
summer, and as it is near Balmoral the
great singer is not seldom favored with
a call by the queen herself. Albani al
ways makes it a point to send word to
the cook to prepare mullins for these oc-
casions. Mullins are quite to the queens
taste, and she will dispose of several
while Albani sings to her. Victoria pre-
fers ballads to any other songs. ''The
Lass o Gowrie" and ''Come Ye by Blair
Atholep are decidedly her favorites,
though she likes robin Adair" and
"Bluebells of Scotland" pretty we'll.
When Albani sings, it is almost always
the Princess Beatrice who plays. Albani
has sung at Balmoral for other royal
persons, notably the Empress Eugene
and Emperor Trederick.-Exchange.

"THE TOWEL SHAVE"
A NEW BARRIERS FAD THAT is
COMING INTO VOGUE.
A Man with n jag First Discovered the
Matter and Now 1t Is Being Used
by the just and Unjust with
Great Pleasure.

A convivial Angeleno stepped into one
of the leading tonsorial shops about a
month ago and confded to the wielder
of the razor the latest eastern fad that
his head was swollen from the effects OF
the previous nights debauch, and asked
him il he could not. metaphorically
speaking, soak his head for him with a
wet towel. After full instructions from
the customer the barber immersed the
towel in almost boiling water and placed
it across his customers brow.
"How does it feel?' he asked, as the
steam began to rise.
First class, give us some more" re-
piled the man under the towel, and the
head-rubber continued the soaking pro-
cess for fully half an hour. till at last,
when he took the towel off, the face of
his customer presented the appearance
OF boiled lobster, and the owner OF the
swelled head declared that he had
never felt better in his life; that all the
dizziness and swelling had departed
and lett his cranium clear as bell.
sszsAfter that whenever he had been on a
racket he came in ON the following
morning to have his head bathed. He
told his friends about it, and they came
also, and others seeing it's soothing ei-
fects became regular applicants for the
laying on OF the hot-water towel.
Then men who had not been, and who
never would go on jags, hearing how
delicious the sensation Of the hot water
towel was, tried it, liked it, and there
after asked for it.
Thus the fad has become established
~, fha Southovp Nolifnxn;a
and will soon spread from shop to shop
and will be regular custom. Two
shops have already adopted hot water
towel after shave. and other shops will
gradually follow suit.
EsThe time is at hand when the hot
towel will be universal, for the simple
reason that it is delightful and most
refreshing process, il properly done.
Not many of the BARRIERS here yet under
stand the affair. To be done properly,
not one towel alone, nor two, should be
applied, but at lesst half dozen, COM
pletely covering the face with the steam
ing cloth, each towel being replaced as
it becomeG cool with another fresh from
the hot water faucet. A dreamy languor
creeps over the senses. On the hottest
day in summer, as well as the coldeet in
winter, one goes forth feeling much bet
ter for his steaming. The philosophy
of this new adaptation is this: The
hot towel draws the blood away from
the brain to the face. making in sum-
mer the skin much warmer than the
air, which, when the towel is with
drawn, strikes the skin cool and refresh
ing. In winter the blood offers the same
resistance to the cold, as if it we're
heated by exercise, and the unpleasant
'chapping of the skin which sometimes
follows the old -fas hioned shave is obvi-
ated. The steam also removes the oil
which exudes from the skin, and leaves
the complexion clear and fresh, there.

An Energetic Woman.

Miss Minnie Rush of Lakeville, Ind,
has discovered for herself and perhaps
for her sisters a new field of employ
ment. For the past three years she has
had charge of the passenger, freight and
telegraph Offices of the Vandalia line in
her town, the receipts for which are full
" $4,000 month. Miss Rush is only
2l years old, but she has organized rail-

some profits to her employers the past
year, besides conducting the ordinary af-

ABSOlA TERY PURE
A LATE BLAZE.
Pasadena Has a Lively Little Fire
Yesterday.

Pasadena Has a Lively Little Fire
Yesterday.
The fire company at Pasadena was
called out ON late run last evening, an
alarm being turned in about IL 80. A
prompt response was made, the blaze
proving to be located in two-story
frame dwelling. situated in the fiat be-
low Mr.. Cooley's residence.
The distance from the station and the
difficulty OF reaching the place gave the
fire such a headway that the company
could render but little service. The en-
tire building was consumed, and a por-
ton OF the furniture. as the family had
retired before the blaze was discovered.
The building belonged to Mr.. Sclech.
meyer, and was valued at about $1,000.
1t is not known whether there was any
insurance or not.
In returning from the FIRE the hook
and ladder truck ran into a hedge and
overturned, breaking the tongue, but
fortunately not injuring anyone.
