WHERE'S THE ART?

What was the art palace built for
on the lake front, anyway?
Was it built for woman's con-
crosses?
Was it built that collection of
bowling bigots should be permitted
to hold forth in it, as was the case in
one section of the building on
Wednesday last?
To an unprejudiced observer. the
scaly members of the U. O. D. ought
to have postponed their convention
until after the family of the discov-
erer of America left town To revilc
his religion while his descendants
are our guests is horrible.
Who gave these extra patriotic
stiffs the right to meet in a public
building?
The Womans Congress, as a curl
6sity, is all right, but the conven-
ton of deputies" in another hall of
the same building is all wrong.

as the Worlds Fair, is the Woman's
Congress. which. instead Of statues
or pictures, occupies the vacant
rooms Of the alleged Art Palace.
Seven out of every ten of the
women present are bigots or fanatics,
and the net expression OF opinion
there has, up to date, not been of a
very edifying nature.s
If the promoters of the giant steal
called the Worlds Fair desired to
have side show for the purpose of
raising a laugh, they have succeeded
well in their Woman's Congress.
The strong-minded females in ses-
sion there have devoted more time
to the discussion of dress reform than
to any other subject, thus showing
that even females staggering under,
the load of immense intellects never
get away from an admiration for
good clothes
There is tCO much stroDg-minded
woman nonsense about the Worlds
Fair anyhow.
1t is becoming nauseating.
The daily papers TEEN with the
sayings of this or that notoriety-seek-
ing female.
Everybody loves and respects
woman in her proper sphere.
At home she is the queen, and
through the home she rules the
country.
1t is this feeling of love and re-
spect for the good wives and mothers
of the land that makes the average
man look with contempt upon the
silly nonsense and notwithstanding
caterwauls of the Woman's Congress.

PROUD TO BE CALLED BOHEMIANS.

The fugitives from justice and jay
hawkers who are filing their pockets
at the expense of the people at the
alleged Worlds Fair are indignant at
the assaults Of what one of them is
pleased to term the Bohemian
Press"
"We care nothing about the criti-
cisms of the Bohemians of journal
ISM" one of the fantastic robbers of
the National Commission said the
other day.
OF course they don't, because many
of them have no regulations to lose.
But the "Bohemians of Journalism"
will continue to roast the brainless
upstairs and bare faced robbers who
are swimming ia gold at the Worlds
Fair, to the detriment of the common
people, and while doing the roast up
brown, will exclaim in the words of
the immortal bard, John Boyle
O'Reilly:
/ would rather Live in. Bohemia
Than dwell in another land.
There are no Titles inherited there
No hand or hope for the brainless heir;
No gided Dulard native born
TO stare at his fellow with leaden scorn.
Bohemia has none but Adopted Sons
It's limits where Fancy's bright stream runs
Its Honors not garnered for thrift or trade
Made.
To the empty heart in a Jeweled breast
There is value, maybe, in purchased crest
But the Thirsty of Soul Soon learn to know
The moistureless Froth of the Social Show;
The Vulgar Sham of the Pompous Feast
Where the Heaviest Purse is the Highest
PRIEST
The Organized charity scrimped and Iced
In the Name of a Cautious Statistical Christ
The smile restrained, the Respectable Can't,
Where Friend in Need il Friend in Want :
Where the only aim is to keep afoat,
And brother may drown with a cry in his
throat
Oh Long for the Glow of a Kindly Heart
And the Grasp of Kindly Hand
And I'd rather Fail in Bohemia
Than Win in another landl

of such dog, orwho shall modest or seize
any dog while held or led by line or
chain by any person. shall on conviction
be fined.
This ordinance is continually being
violated. Valuable dogs are enticed
off the owners premises, so that the
dog-catchers business may be more
profitable one. 1t is not safe for a
child to take pet dog out on the
street, though it have collar and
license tag and is held or led. The
poundkeeper's subordinate does not
care whether the provisions of the
law have been complied with or not.
His sole object is to catch animals
which will pay fees. If a dog hap
pens to jump out of its mistress
arms in his presence he will seize it
and carry off her property needless of
her entreaties, for the poundmaster
gets 50cents for the expense of taking
up each dog which is reclaimed, and
% cents day for the cost of keeping
it. All dogs not reclaimed are re-
quired to be destroyed, but there
have been times when the law was
not obeyed in the case of valuable
animals, for they were sold.
At the annual meeting of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty,
held a few days ago, President
Shortall suggested that some ar
be made by which the
city would give the society the super
vision of the capture and destruction
Of dogs. 1t would be a great change
for the better could this be done.
Then there would be no such per-
formances as that mentioned by Mr..
Chard, who says:
Tuesday of this week a little pet dog of
mine of rare beauty and great value was
on North Clark street while walking
with member of my family. The brutal
fellow who, under color OF law, did this |
raised the animal high in the air by means
Of a wire lasso which cut into the flesh |
and flung him, into wagon with a force |
that has left him lame and bruised.
1t is right that ordinances about |
licensing dogs should be enforced,
that vaga5ond dogs should be picked
up and destroyed, but it is not proper |
that property rights should be wanton
y violated or the laws of humanity out
ragged by brutal employees of the city. |
Mayor Harrison has just appointed a
new poundkeeper. Cannot he use
MS influence with that individual so
rs to make him select subOrdinates
who will not break the ordinances
and play the part of highway rob-
Oers? And cannot the Council amend |
the dog ordinance so that it may not |
be used for purposes of ruffianly ex-
Jortion?

THIS IS WRONG.

Why is it, that Lake View, which
derives the greatest benefit from Lin
coin Park, only pays 1000 per
year, in taxes, for the maintenance
of this park?
The Town Of North Chicago pay
1868, 900 for the same purpose every
year.
The difference is too great to be
excused.

The boom of Col. Edward T.
N0onan for Congress on the West
Side is growing every day.
Col. Noonan is one Of the ablest

In Congress he will be shining

He will lie nominated, and will
certainly be elected.

THE CHICAGO DOG THIEVES.

The dog-stealing department main
tanned for some years by the Chicago
city government should be abolished.
1t is an insult to nineteenth-century
civilization and an outrage on the
taxpayers.
The city dog-catchers do not make
any pretense Of catching worthless
ours. Only valuable animals are
their prey. The dog pound for the
past few years has been the place for
the barter and sale of good dogs.
If person wanted good dog, he
left word at the pound and one was
procured for him.
The fact that owners pay the city
the license demanded makes no diff
ference.
Dogs are impounded, license or no
license, and are taken from private
premises as well as upon the public
streets.
The Tribune, THE EAGLE is glad
to see, has taken this matter up, and
in an editorial upon the subject the
other day, it said
The following is an extract from a
letter printed in yesterdays Tribune,
written by well-known citizen, Mr..
Thomas S. Chard
believe that decent Chicago has had all
that it wants of the "dog- wagon" nuisance,
as at present perpetrated, with its neglect
OF homeless ours and its specially OF fine
dogs. The abuse Of taking these pets from
the side and sometimes from the arms OF
their owners and delivering them, bruised
and bitten, at an inaccessible pound has
nourished long enough under Aldermanic
neglect, and the purpose OF this letter IS t.
ask all who love mans dumb companion to
work for the modification Of the laws under
which such abuses are possible The mat
ter should be turned over 20 the Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty TO Animals.
This statement is, II anything, too
mild. Ii would be dliiicult TO ind
language which would be too strong
10 use In condemning the brutality
and greed OF the dog.eatchers. The
latter do not care 10 seize any but
valuable animals, because the proba.

HOTEL EXTORTI0NS.

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 achich buildings or inStita1-
tons are not located, and lChich is not used
EXCLUSIVELY By the corporation, IS sab
ject to tdrdtion."
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 & 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 Torn 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.
If the fault is in the County Clerks
Office, strike it there.
But strike it anywhere.
The law and the Supreme Court
have each been deHed long enough.
Religious crooks are no better than
any other crooks.
Here is an extract from the Ameri-
can Encyclopedia Of Law, volume 4,
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 aud educational
purposes, and not 10 other property held
Jg u as a s0lro of rormut, Or capable ot
heing applied % aehtes."

protect the people In their rights,
