Relic of Former DAYS

We were recently shown a clipping
taken from the WATERFOWL Democrat
in 1863, giving an account of the
presentation OF chalice to the Rev.
Joseph Smith, a pastor of ST. Ber-
nards Catholic church for seven
years who had then been transferred
to Fox Lake, being succeeded here bv
Dr. Norris. A presentation address
and response were made, the COM
mittee having the matter in charge
for the congregation being Patrick
Rogan, Martin Quigley, Daniel Col
Inns, Bernard O'Byrne, Edward John
son, James Cody, Michael Ames, all
of whom have since joined the silent
majority, DR.. Johnson dying a few
weeks ago.
On the reverse side of the clipping
are several medical advertisements,
among them being the ad Of DIR. J. P.
Quincy, who stated that his office
was in lot 5, block 27, Fourth ward,
now the northeast corner of the inter
section Of North Montgomery and
O'Connen streets. He also stated that
he would not administer medicines
in any cases where it is unnecessary
and all medicines which he employed
were of the mildest character
Rather a peculiar statement if made
nowadays by a physician.

THOUGHTS BY TIE WAY

The cartoon on the front page of
La Follette's Magazine of last
week, was mighty suggestive.
There was pictured an immense
screen representing our courts.
Men were engaged in shoveling
up the criminals upon the screens.
the meshes being SO prepared that
the poor criminals went through
into the penitentiary while the rich
and opulent fell back and were per-
mltted to runaway and continue
their criminal practices, thus show
ing that our higher courts have, to
some extent, become travesty on
justice. There are honest Judges
who, no doubt, mean right, but
practice and precedent have bound
them
In the last issue of LaFollette's
Magazine is a very able article
written by William kittle, showing
how the pure food law is being cir
cumvented by the use Of benzoate
as food preservative is involved.
The parties interested in it's use,
by means that might not bear strict
investigation, managed to secure
favorable testimonials from several
lunk-head professors of colleges as
to its harmlessness, the said pro-
lessons never having made a per-
sonal investigation into the matter,
simply signing testimonials Ere
sented to them for their signature,
knowing nothing Of the harmful
effect of the drug upon the human
system. Many Of the professors
OF our leading institutions of learn
ing are impractical and are very
easily imposed upon. They ate
honest and should fight shy of the
men who are out for money regard
less of the health of the public and
stick to their text books and classes,
and not be influenced by the talk
and arguments Of schemers.

1t is amusing to read IN the dem
ocratic newspapers and hear demo-
Gratis talk Of the necessity of turn
ing over the government to the ten
der mercies of the democratic party
in order that the tariff may be
again revised and reduced. They
evidently Intentionally forget, that
had it not been for democrats in the
present congress We might have
had a different tariff than the Payne
Aldrich law. In looking over the
attitude of democratic members,
we find many who are ultra-protec-
tionists, notably those from Texas,
who insist that all raw material
shall be taxed. Those from Louis
lana that the tax on sugar shall
not be reduced; those from Oregon
that the duty on lumber shall not
be reduced, and those from South
Carolina, that tea shall be met
with high import duty. The fact is,
that if the tariff it further reduced
it must be done by the republican
party, or some other party. but
not by the democracy, for the
southern democrats are as much in
favor of a high protective tariff as
the eastern members.
