Republican Candids
tree that Is said to mark the spot NJ
the Chicago massacre blew down, and
forthwith one Of the Marquis retain.
ers carted It of to his grounds. 1t
seems to us the City Council ought
to replevin that tree, and give the
Marquis to understand that there are
no royal woods and forests In the
streets Of Chicago.

The Jeffersonian Democratic Club

cious residence at 1924 Wabash ave.

Is composed Of several Of the most
prominent Democrats OF the South
Side, and when under its "own vine
and fly tree" we trust II will prosper
apace.

Aid. Coughlin declares that the
railroads centering In this city have
on our streets without authority 800
switch tracks and turn outs. It
would seem that this style OF per.
hitting occupancy BY trespass ought
to cease. The streets Of this city be.
long to the people, not to the rail.

It occurs to THE EAGLE that dur.
Ing the period Of the Worlds Fair
last summer good deal OF advertis-
ing, 50 to say, was given to the splen.
did efficiency Of the life.saving station
ut the park, and yet when the ter.
riblc storm OF Friday burst upon
Lake Michigan the available life.sav.
Ing apparatus at this post consisted Of
one old lifcboat sixteen years old and
the men. Itseems that the real life.
saving boat or boats and crew were
yet ut Jackson Park, why or where.
fore no one knows. This Ia incOm.
petence, negligence, carelessness and
wantOn wickedness all combined.
The port OF Chicago needs with Its
open lake shore superior life.sav!ng
equipment, and II should have 1t.
It's time our marine people moved In
the matter. Lake Michigan Is one
Of the most treacherous bodies Of
water on the face OF the earth, and
ut all events such measures rs human
foresight can take to save life when
menaced by 1t In Its sudden fury
ought to be taken and taken now.

We wonder how soon all this CAB.
BILE as to the near date Of the final
passage Of the tariff bill will cease?
It's getting o trifie mOnOtonous to
read OF the dates at which this. that
and the other fellow, who by the In.
scruable ways OF Providence has be.
come a Senator, places the final pas.
sage Of the tariff bill. Why don't the
imbcciles or r0gues, whichever they
be, who are hindering legislation on
this matter In the Senate, say that
they never will amend or change the
Mckinley bill9 or else why do they
not change it9 Either way would be
preferable to the present "bread and
water" condition In which these soul
less confidence men are keeping
the country. Even the House of
Lords In England called upon to
act on tho Irish home.rule bill had
the stupid grit to walk into their
chamber and act. Act, 1t Is true,
with the abandon and stolidness Of
the part, but our American chamber
OF peers does not even act; it's hor.
ror to look ut; a disgrace TO the re.
public; scare and warning to the
march Of republican ideas the earth
over. It's really a puzzle to medi.
tativc mind to look at and think that
the fellows land most of them are
from the dregs of the land originally
could 50 easily and placidly become
worthless renegades to the popular
trust that breathed the breath of life
into their narrow little bodies.
