And to prove that they are purely

One of Chicago's representatives in the
legislature is man who has a good pres
ence and capacity for getting votes in
either Polish or English correctly. And
he is a lawyer. How he ever was able
to pass the examination for admission to
the bar is a mystery. But he was duly
admitted and is now regularly practicing
his profession when he is not helping TO
make laws.
Not long ago he had a case in the cir

client is dead but he was not diseased.
He was killed in railroad wreck.

DEATH OF EDITOR MEOILL

Joseph Medill. who died yesterday at
san Antonio. Tex, was one of the Or
ganfzers of the Republican party.
His death is like the removal of an
ancient landmark from the city Of Chi
cago, where he has lived and been iden-
titled with it's social, business and po-
uticaI history since 1855.
He began life as a country lawyer
founded a free soil organ in 1S49, a
Wing newspaper in 1852, and became
one of the owners and the editor of the
Chicago Tribune in 1855.
Mr.. Medin was always a vigorous
writer, more vigorous than accom-
pIished, perhaps, but his opinions were
held in the highest esteem by the Re-
publican party during and long after
the war Of late he has become a trife
independent to suit the cuckoo politi-
