packer in a style peculiarly her own.
No city ever burned like Chicago and nc
city ever conducted a mayoralty cam
paign like this campaign.
Chicago is so unlike anything else
that she sometimes forgets to be like
herself II it were possible she would
be unlike herself. Such is the case in
this campaign, which is poetic and
prosy. It is not poetic, in the sense of
being beautiful; nor prosy, in the sense
Of being dull. It is neither beautiful
nor dull 1t is peculiar, unprecedented,
Chicagoan. It's chief poem is
"Now, Carter, we are after you,
And Sammy is the man;
The people do not want you,
And the press is in The van.
We're going 10 have "A funeral
To rid us of the curse;
We won't need 20 invite you.
For you'll be in the hearse.n
The Hon. Joel Al. Longenecler says
the same thing in prose You have
been taught by your surroundings" he
tells the Allertonians, chow necessary it
is to bury Carter Harrison. You do not
propose that Carter shall he lifted up
again Mr.. Longenecker makes light of
Carter Harrisons proficiency in the
Chinese language, and puts the issue
just where it is. Sam Allerton is the
hogstickers candidate, and as such the
representative and .idlosyncratic Chica-
goan of the hour. "This man Harrison, -
says J. ongenecker, Says Alerton is a
hogsticker, and that all he knows is to
guess on hogs. That is more than Har-
rison knows. II he could guess about
hogs he would not be running. He
would not be such a hog. Is a hog better
than a hog guesser2 He will find out on
the 4th of April that the people appre-
ciate hog-guessers better than the gamb.
lers do hogs We have had enough OF
hogs, hogs in Office especially If any
man can get away with hogs it is Sam
Allerton."
That as any fair man will admit, is a
unique manner of campaigning-it is
Chicagoan.
1t is said that Carter Harrison has
travelled extensively, read prodigiously
studied faithfully; and that besides writ
ing good English and translating Gas
abianca" into Italian, he has the ability
to write pure Chinese But for all that,
as he cannot stick hogs he is not fit to be
mayor Of Chicago. 1t is queer that man
must be a hog sticker to be eligible to
the mayoral chair in Chicago, and that,
perhaps, is the reason why hog-sticker is
preferred; If it were not queer Chicago
would not require a hog-stlcking mayor.
If hog-sticking mayors should become
common, or fashionable, Chicago might
taee up general scavenger or a Con-
gressman
But whatever she does it must be un.
Ike any thing else ever done before.

William Yunkel Tells the Court That He
Journeys Here for the Public Veal.
William Yunbel when arrsigned in the
city court this morning for peddling
matches without a license gave the conrt
some valuable points on the science of
his trade
He only left his Philadelphia beat to
journey here once month and he came
here solely 10 serve a few regular Gus
toners. He never sought to increase
his trade here; his mission was to supply
the half-dozen households which,
depleted of matches, implored replenish-
ment from his choice sulphuric stock
and when one of his customers had, by
diligent effort, found a grocery store
wherein a box of matches could be
found and transferred patronized there.
to he marked one less on his book and
was exceedingly glad that his martyr
mission was one step nearer its close
Judge Bal. however, remembered that
the accused solicited him to buy his
wares on several occasions and the Off
GERS who arrested him testified that when
taken in custody the prisoners wares
were displayed on the steps of a house
for sale. The evidence of fraud was no,
quite clear however, and YuAkel was
recommitted
Five cases of drunkenness were dis

MISTAKEN EFFORTS TO DO GOOD

MISTAKEN EFFORTS TO DO GOOD.
In reply to letter addressed to the
woman who edits "Words for Women"
in the Philadelphia Times asking sym.
pathy for poor old woman who makes
certain articles of Undertaking at a 81
dozen, the wise and kindly editor
says:
There Is so much sorrow and trouble in
the world at every turn that il is the
object Of the one who pens these lines to
bring into the lives of those who read
them all of the sunshine that is possible
Life's daily cares cast enough shadows;
therefore, though we may real
ize that wrong and sorrow exist, if
we cannot better it, why darken the
pages by recitals of woe that harrow up
the feelings and appear to be a part of
that great social problem that will never
be solvedg Other parts Of this same
newspaper quote enough of the dark
side.
Some persons take morbid pleasure in
crying over what cannot be cured. That,
in addition to being useless in itself
tinges the lives of other people with
sorrow.
It is the duty Of every man and woman
to alleviate suffering; to succor those in
distress, if possible. It is equally duty
not to see either, II one has no means of
cure.
Sympathy may be a cure sometimes
but what good can ones own sympathy
much less the sympathy Of ones friends
accomplish for woman who is compelled
to eke out seanty living by making
underclothes at the rate Of eight cents a
pieceY lndiscreet sympathy may unfit
her for doing that even. Let her con
struet those eight cent unmentionables
till there is more profitable labor
This unwise sympathy illustrates a
phase Of the erroneous ideas of some of
the managers Of the various societies
which have been formed by women,
possessing all degrees of ignorance as to
the needs Of the poor, to do good. They
frequently make themselves more ridlcu-
lous than helpful to the poor They are
frequently imposed upon by mendicants.
They frequently do more harm than
good.
But there is still something to do
much to do. There are ones neighbors,
there are those of the Door with whom
every woman can come into direct con
tact and know, for herself. precisely
what would be helpful and how to do it
Many a cook or maid in the best houses
Of the city whose cheerful face reflects
aloyal heart may be concealing stories OF
sickness and poverty that would wiring
sympathy from harder heart than that
Of the indolent mistress who goes oil to
her club, society or church to "do
good. The suffering which she could
relieve is right at her door. She ig-
nores that and does charity in a NOR G
conspicuous and entertaining manner.
There is enough sorrow without in.
oreasing it by crying over it. True
philosophy teaches us to relieve what We
can; not to see what we cannot relieve
But it is possible to relieve nearly al
that we see 1t is impossible to accom-
plish anything for the Indians, tn,
