LYING ABOUT MIR. THORNTON.

What lies the retail dealers in
fads are telling about Charley Thorn
ton, anyhow! One OF his opponents
circulated a report that Thornton
was an unnaturalized Englishman,
when the truth is that his ancestry
goes back to Colonial New En-
gland history. One of Charles
5. Thornton's ancestors, Matthew
Thornton, signed the Declaration
of Independence. His mothers family
for eight generation back has lived
within eight miles of Plymouth Mass
On the explosion of this story they
tried to circulate report that Mr.
Thornton was Deputy This was
laughed to scorn and did not last
very long. Despite his slanderers
Mr.. Thornton will be confirmed.

epidemic 0: cholera, it is OF vital in
terest to our citizens that we have a
supply OF Iure water for drinking
purposes. 1t doesn't require a week
of steady Investigation to prove
that the Chicago River is a vast
open sewer, breeding disease and
carrying death into the drinking

fact that our best physicians insist
that the Chicago lake water should
not be used before first having been
boiled.
The condition of the lake water is
a constant menace to public health.
The Council should take up the

thereby give Chicagoans an mex

time afterwards he continued in the
Office of Grant & Swift, and was en-
gagged in general practice until 1880.
when he became a member of the
firm of Grant, Swift & Brady. In
May, 1883, Mr. Swift retired from
the firm, which continued for many
years as Grant & Brady, which was
succeeded by M. P. Brady. Mr..
Brady is known to the bench
and bar as a thoroughly educated
lawyer, and enjoys an enviable repu-
tation as a successful advocate and
prudent counselor. He was AN ar

Fall, and last Spring did good service
for the Democratic party in the cam
paign which resulted in the election
of Mayor Harrison. Mr.. Brady has
for years been a member of the State
Board of Education.

being in force from July /. 1893, re-
peals all conflicting provisions of the
older statute: that, therefore, there
is no law under which an election can
be held next November, and that
nothing remains TO be done but for
the present board to follow precedent
in similar circumstances and hold
over for another year. Most OF the
members of the board agree with
Mr. Healy, but the five Republican
Commissioners, who are sure of re-
election from the country district,
demand that an election shall be
called. One of the presidents re-
ferred to is that Of the County
Treasurer, whose term of office eX-
pired in 1881, but who, under an act
passed that year making the term of
incumbency four years and becoming
operative in 1882, held Office during
the intervening twelve months. A
similar course was followed about the
same time, under precisely the same
lcumstances, by the Clerk of the
Superior Court. In support of the
contention for hold-over the follow
ing section of the enactment of 1887
is quoted:
The terms OF office OF said commissioner
shall begin on the first Monday OF Deem
Der after their election and they shall hold
their Office until their successors are elected
and qualified.
Inasmuch as there is no Inv provid-
ing for the selection of the successors
of the present members of the board,
except that which fixes such election
for November, 1894, it is argued that
these gentlemen can legally remain
in Office until that time. Attorney
General Moloney's opinion will be
rendered in time to settle the matter
definitely.

1t was one of the most largely at
tended funerals that ever left the
city for Calvary cemetery.
The pall-bearers were: VIM. O'Con-
nell, who for many years has had the
management OF Mr.. Murray's extern
sive business; Hon. John +. Finerty,

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
earning upon ,chich buildings or institu-
tons are not located, and uhich is not used
EXCLUSIVELY By the corporation, is sub
ject to tdration."
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 Freemans Illinois
Supreme Court Reports.
The County Collector a 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 T0,cn 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 Else 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 defled 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
tor religious, charitable and educational
purposes, and not to other property held
By Il as a source Of rerenue, or capable Of
being applied to such usc.
If that is not strong enough law TO
protect the people in their rights,
what is?
And yet the Presbyterian THEOLOGY
cal Seminary pays no taxes on fifteen
acres Of residence property, each
house on which rents from SIS To
5000 per month.
Why is this fraud permitted To

as fervent as the temperature, and

of versatility Henrotin Pasha is I'M

more things better than any other

He leaned closer. She felt his hand
upon her shoulder His mouth, in its
1.-THE, boyish curves, was very near her
own.
"There is something else must tell
you first" he said slowly.
In that long, sultry look she knew all.
Her pulses quickened, a fire grew in her
heart. He loved her, then? Oh, he did,
he did!
Their faces We're so close there was a
resistless impulse, moment of con-
fused, delirious joy, and their lips clung
in kiss that drew Virginia's heart with
it.
Toms lids fell heavily. He was very
white. A great sigh came from his lips:
"Virginia"-
But the door opened. Tom had scarce
" time to stand up before her father came
In, followed by boy with package.
The old man was aglow with pleas
arable excitement. He closed the door
after the messenger, crossed the room in
his graceful, stately way and shook hands
with Tom.
81 have had a pleasant day." he said
brisl1ly. 'Such delightful condolences.
What would life be without the unex-
pected? Have you ever thought of that,
Tom?'
81 am thinking of it now, sir" and he
exchanged a feeting glance of arch mean
ing with Virginia. 'But / differ with
you slightly. The unexpected can prove
well, at some moments-an out and
out nuisance"
"When it's of an unpleasant nature,
yes, of course-my slippers, Virginia
thank you, my dear-but when it car
ries you back to pleasant time and sur
rounds you with happy memories-ah,

"Tell me about it, dad" said Virginia
as she leaned over him.
Her face was glorified. She looked
with naive tenderness straight at Tom
as she spoke-looked until her eyes fell
under the fire in his.
"It happened this way" and Mr.. Kent
ambled drowsily on, ignorant that the
splendor of youth and love was eddying
in warm glances around his frosty head.

All, how | longed for money, money,

He paused, and Virginia gave an uE-
easy glance at the package.

He stood with bowed head watching
the papers. They rustled in swirl of
wind and flame, subsided into spasmodic
chickering's, and nothing was left but a
handful of charred fragments light as
thistle down.
"God, help me! Give me my dream, "
he murmured his lips scarcely moving.
A sustained burst of deep toned sound
from the organ foated to him through
the closed doors. 1t thrilled him to the
heart. He seemed to hear Virginia's
stanch words in their delicate intona-
tions:
81 believe in you, Tom"
Louder the music rolled, higher, sweet
er, one keen minor note transcending the
heavier volume and crowning it like a
star. The mans longing eyes frightened
as he listened. The festival of harmony
augmented his strength. His love rushed
out to meet it like flood meeting flood.
Virginia seemed playing pecan of sanc-
titled victory fit for crusader who holds
his standard aloft, though a ranking
wound pales his lips.
He would accept her message.
Until the last vibration had sunk TO n
caressing whisper he stood entranced.
