must at length be appreciated by
the people as not only drain up
on their earnings and accumula-
tons, but as a most pernicious
example calculated to undermine
the love D'of wholesome econom V
among our citizens. These top
les and others which might be
mentioned, and the abuses con-
nected with them, should be
bravely and uncompromisingly
dealt with by the Democratic
party, as they all involve Demo
cratic principle.
We should have sufficient faith
in the. intelligence and right.
nlndedness of our countrymen
to arouse confident anticipation
that they will speedily confde
the treatment of these vital ques-
tons to the party which satisfies
them of it's intention to deal with
them in an honest, unequivocal
and patriotic manner.
see only hope and confidence
in the future of the democracy;
but this hope and confidence is
based entirely on the belief that
the party will be true to itself
and true to it's professios of de-
votion to the welfare of the peo-
pie.

With that the police left the field to Niles
and went for reinforcements They gath
cred an army of GOO bluecoats at the Chi

OF them with rifles and riot guns and pre-

The valiant Heidelmeier again took the
lead. and again-it was now afternoon
they advanced to the attack, marching a
mile to the "deestric'." The flreboat was
ordered to the lake front to cooperate
Meanwhile, Niles. having established his
occupation, sent all but five OF his follow

the balance he maintained the picket lines
and held the city force at bay.
About the time the police started on their
march boulevard sparrow cop" strolled
along the sea beach on his regular round
toward the forts. Niles beckoned him over

valiant Heideqmeier. they beheld the Inn

So the second invasion was ended. OF
course, Niles and his band were tried. The
plain clothes men testified that Niles had
fired eleven shots In quick succession, but
when they found his rifle was but a five
shooter. and had two cartridges still in 1t,
they withdrew the evidence. And Niles and
his men were discharged from custody.

All this has thrown the controversy where
1t belonged in the first place-into the
courts. For the shore owners, bringing suit
for trespass against the captain-who, hav-
ing the sanction Of the city, cannot be
ousted by the police-must show what title
they have to the land. And that will bring
up the question Of the Wall Survey and the

But Streeter was before and after them,
claiming that the state never had the title
to give in this 20-mile strip surveyed by
Wall. Then Streeter sold and gave away
enough lots to interest capitalists and
workers. and shortly organized the Inde-

Last Words.

(Read at the recent funeral Of Mrs. Mary
Neaiy Of this city, having been written by Mrs
Nealy herself for that purpose)
Lay II aside, this form Of clay,
When the spirit Of life shall have passed away;
Lay 1t away from the sight Of all.
While the sun may shine and the rain may fall.
Bury 1t tenderly In the earth,
Whose bountiful nature gave 1t birth:
Close. close by the side Of the loved ones gons
And there let 1t rest while the years roll on.
Rest from sorrow, and care, and pain
From tears that fall like the autumn rain;
From toll and struggle from year to year,
From disappointment and ceaseless fear.
No Sickness no parting. no storm. NO blight.
Can reach Us ever. by day night;
But quiet forever, and rest, and peace,
Shall bring to our bosoms a sweet release.
And enough Of US shall be left behind:
Enough Of the spirit. and heart. and mind
OF kindly actions and loving words.
To float like the morning songs OF birds,
Around the hearts We have loved Away,
Till their eyes are dim and their heads are gray
To twine In beauty ike vines unseen,
And to keep our memories ever green.
And, as Tor the infinite boundless soul.
Which has always reached for q loftier goal
Than the earth could give tat last. at last
With never q shadow cloud o'ercast,
1t win stretch its wings for fts heavenly hight,
TIL 1t reaches the regions Of living light
Where Gods fruition fills sea and shore,
. And the spirits longing shall BE- NO moss.
