Poor Old GRANNY,

The Tribune of last week published
an extract from the Chicago Inter
Ocean land as its editor makes no COM
ment We presume he endorses the senti-
ments eXpresseG) that is all insult to
the intelligence of vast majority of
American people. Speaking of the
election of Grover Cleveland and the
defeat OF Harrison, the article says:
The sovereign people have chosen
that political giant, that intellectual
microOe, that malignant defamer of the
soldier, to succeed the soldier states
man; and a political assassin instead
OF one of the ablest diplOmateS of the
day. Mr.. Cleveland never loses an OPP
pOrtunity to show diShOnOr to the sold
Ter of the Union, never a chance to
exalt one who fought against the Union.
The peoples endorsement of Mr.. Cleve-
land dlShOnOrS every man who wore the
blue" living and dead. Sons have
diShonored their fathers who gave up
their lives for the country. Treason is
exalted and loyalty is an Illusion"
Will the poor old granny never learn
that he is living in an age Of enlighten-
ment, in country of free men, and in
a community of honest people? Will
he ever realize that such vindictive,
false and unwarranted sentiments as
expressed in the above paragraph only
call forth disgust and diversion from
those who have advanced thoughts and
liberal ideas of what political courtesies
are?
None of the great men Of the day
have any words but those of admiration
and praise for the exalted manhood.
the fairminded. answering honesty of
President Cleveland; and yet this little
2X4 editor of a patent medicine adver-
tisement must hunt up the vilest
exudations from the diseased brain of
some jaundiced old camp-follewer, and
reflect upon the intelligence of his
readers by e-printing the trash with
out comment.
Its pity the expected Biela' comet
did not hit the earth on the corner of
Bloody alley and Maggie street, accord
ing to astronomical schedule time, and
rid us of back number editor who
don't know enough to realize that he
ought to have lived in the Dark Ages.

DR.. Lawless, of Hutchinson, has
accepted position as manager of an
optical department during the Column
bian Fair in Chicago, but he will pay
us one more visit before he goes, and
that will be the last time for over one
year. AS he has more stock than he
wishes to carry over he will make a
reduction on his spectacles, running
from thirty to fifty per cent less than
he has ever sold them before. As the
doctor handles nothing but the best of
spectacles, and changes the lenses for
bis patrons free of cost, if their sight
changes, no doubt he will do bigger
business next week than he has ever
done before. He will be at the Grand
Central hotel on the 18th, and remain
a short time. If your head aches gu
had better 60 and see the doctor.
You can consult with him and have
your eyes examined free of charge.
