Save Your Eyes.

If your eyesight is good. take care of
it. Look away off yonder every time
you get to the bottom of a page In
reading. If it is defective. let no fool
isb pride prevent you from wearing
the proper glasses.
There is no sense in handicapping
yourself in life when a piece Of glass
before each eye will make your vision
as good as 1t possibly can be. The ocu-
list will not advise you to wear glasses
if you do not need them any mere than
he will prescribe a drug you dc not
need.
Plenty of people. though, do not
know that they have defective sight
because they have never really seen at
all. They have headaches, inflamed
eyes, sites. even much grayer troubles,
from the strain of trying to see with
eyes that were put up wrong There
are cases where homicidaI insanity
has been completely cured wsaeit i'm
paired vision has been correcsed.-

COUNCIL MEETING.

An adjourned meeting of the common
council was held last evening for the
purpose of finishing some business laid
over from the last regular meeting
communication was read from the
board of education, asking for an appro-
priation of $3.50 for the erection of
portico and approach to the Lincoln
school. The council took favorable
action upon the same and granted the
appropriation.
A resolution was offered, which pro-
vided that hereafter the board of public
works shall cause sewer competitions to
be made to the curb line of the streets,
hereafter to be macademized, the cost
of same to be paid by the city, and that
when property owners desire such con-
nections they shall reimburse the city
for the expense incurred. Before any
action was taken on such resolution,
there was discussion as to whether the
same would hold good under the city
charter.
A number of freeholders of the First
ward petitioned that Kickbusch street
be opened and connections made with
Logan street. Referred to the com
mttee on streets and bridges.
A resolution was adopted providing
for the macadamizing of Franklin St.
eastward from the intersection of
First street, to lot 6, block 2, of A
Warren, Jr.'s, east addition.
The board of public works was
instructed to secure cedar blocks for
the repair of Washington and Scott
street pavements
A representative of the Standard Oil
Co. addressed the council in regard to
the recent order requiring that COM
pany to move its oil tanks outside of
the district in which they are located.
He did not like the movement and
stated that when the company erected
its tanks, that portion of the city was
little more than frog pound, and that
the company was not responsible for
the city building in and around its
property The council instructed the
mayor to appoint committee of five
to make an investigation of the matter
aud report at the next meeting.
There was general discussion in re-
gard to the adoption of the general
charter law in its entirety.
A resolution was passed providing
for the leveling of Second avenue on
that portion between the intersection of
Union and Kansas avenues.
There being no further business. the
council adjourned until the next regular
meeting in August.

own personal benefit.
These are some of the reasons why
the conservative element of the Re-
publican party will refuse to support
him and these same reasons will inspil e
the Democracy of the state to fight his
further pretensions.
Let the Democratic convention fear
lessly condem the false heresies and
the hypocrisy of La Toilette and his
piratical compeers, declare in favor of
conservatism and economical business
methods in the administration of state
affairs, place upon the ticket only men
of tried and proved experience, organ

chasers into well-deserved oblivion.

The Congress Just Adjourned.

The congress which has just adj
journed, overwhelmingly Republican
in both branches, is the most extrava-
giant, if not the most corrupt, that ever
assembled.
IT'S sins of commission and omission
ought to result at the first opportunity
in a most impressive defeat of the
party responsible for it.
1t has Appropriated more than $780,,
000,0 900 for the ordinary expenses of the
governmental sum exceeded only
twice during the civil war.
1t has failed to take action of any
sort for the relief of the people from
the exactions of the tariff-protected
trusts and combines.
The swinish quarrel between cane
sugar trust and the beet sugar. trust
has resulted in its failure to redeem
the pledges made to Cuba in the matter
of commercial advantages in our ports.
Thus the nation which sacrificed life
and treasure freely to secure the free
dom of Cuba has been place in pos
ition of denying even slight com
mercial concession to the new republic
because two of the robber trusts, the
especial proteges of the Republican
party, have been unwilling to sur
render dollar of the tribute which
they are levying on the people.
1t has inflicted arbitrary government
upon the Philippines for an indefinite
period. Its civil government bill is
mere extension of the presidential
autocracy, certain to result in contin-
ned i'll will and the speedy exploitation
of the islands By favored interests.
1t has passed the ship subsidy bill
along to the next session in such shape
that its enactment may be easily
effected after the fall elections.
An old-fashioned democracy organ
lied on the principle rather than for
the promotion of the personal fortunes
of an individual would make short
work of a party responsible for such a
showing as this Chicago Chronicle.

THE republican newspapers and poll
ticians of Wisconsin have been so en-
crossed with their own gubernatorial
campaign that they have paid no atten-

for the democrats. II might be ex-
pec,ed that they would turn their atten-

task, as LAFollette has the nomination
secured beyond doubt. but perhaps
they win have all they can do to secure
the election of legislature that win
