The first day the track was heavy, but the 2:45 and 2:3." classes both came off and furnished rare sport for the small crowd in attendance. The second day the track was better, and the 2:30 trotting class, 2:35 pacing, and the running race came off a,nd were closely contested from the start to the fiuish. Great praise is due the managers, Messrs. Smith and Hanly, for the manner in which everything was conducted. Al­ though the weather was against them, everything was carried out as advertised, except the running race the first day, which did not till, but it was no fault of the managgcs.

THE first sale day of the McHenry porse Sale Association, which occurred Thursday last, was, taking every­ thing into consideration, a decided suc­ cess. There were plenty of buyers from abroad, and a good number of horses of­ fered lor sale, and the fact that so small la numbeir changed hands was due to the (fact that owners put on in many cases, unreasonable prices. This, however, we think, will be remedied in the future, as owners of horses who really wish to sell them, must see the folly of such action. The next sale day will occur the "second Thursday in July, the 10th, and we pre­ dict a larger turnout and many more sales. If you really want to sell your horses you are sure to find a buyer here on that., day. THERE are persons in McHenry, who vidently consider it not only their priv ilege, but right, to criticise without mer­ cy the acts and appearance of their fellow-beings. They never stop to con­ sider what effect their many times thoughtless speeches will have upon those who are unfortunate enough to be compelled to * listeu to their low har rangues. To sensible, thinking people, their clamor is looked upon as so much foolish twaddle, but there are those who will listen to and heed these persons who are continually abusing their betters. As a general thing ttiese chronic fault finders will be found to be afflicted with jealousy, self-conceit and unhappiness Could they b'lt see themselves as others see them, they would be disgusted at the spectacle presented, and if a spark of manhood remained within their organ­ ism they would do all in their power to fan it into flame, and endeavor by self- denial and increasing care to cultivate inore self-respect, and by so doing gain the confidence and esteem of their fellows. True merf or women on the subject of their own merits are dumb, and never lower themsel ves by attacking the repu tation ot others. Thank Haavsn, we ha ve a majority of the latter class. AN exchange gives the fallowing good sensible advice to the boys who are not improving their time to the best advan­ tage: There are a certain class of boys about every town and city who appai-ently do nothing but loaf, smoke cigaiauand cig­ arettes, ate neither a help to their parents nor an ornament to society. Nine-tenths of the convicts in the peni­ tentiaries were street loafers when they were boys and preferred it to living in some other way than by honest labor H,ud the sweat of their brow. Too many boys are growing up in idleness and are letting golden opportunities pass by un­ heeded. Your boyhood days are rapidly passing by and you will be called upon to take up the cares and responsibilities of manhood. A good education is offered to you in our public schools and one thai: will fit you for all active duties of life, but you are letting this precious gem slip through your fingers and instead of \einbracing this opportunity of securing a ;;ood education, as your parents wish /vou to do, you are seen on the street corner, stunting your mental and moral powers by the use of narcotics--Bo-jWy- thereis a future before you.. If life is worth living it is worth living right. Get an education, learn a trade and try and make a man of yourself and let the world be better for your having lived ia it. Gov. Fifer *ad Sea- Palmer O. M. In dispatches from Springfield, the utterances of both Governor Fifer and General .lohn M. Palmer as to the Com­ pulsory School law are given. Governor Fifer is reported as saying: "I think the only ammendment needed is a provision that will give an appeal from the local boards of director instead of making their decisions final as is now the case. If the pa rent s in contested cases were given the privilege of appeal to the courts, any hardship which might be occasioned by prejudice or bigotry would he averted. I do not think there is any considerable objection to the principle of the law. The propriety of a compulsory school law by which the pupils should be required to attend ror a given number of weeks a school wherein rudimentary in­ struction is given in English, is not dis­ puted by any considerable number of our citizens. The only point is that local boards should be empowered to finally de­ cide whatconstitutesalegalschool. There should, in disputed cases, be a right of appeal for the parent to the higher courts." General Palmer, who may be recognized from to-day as the accepted Democratic leader of the State, expressed almost precisely similar opinions: '*lt is not the desiie of the people of this State that bigotry should in any case prevail to the detriment' of the individual rights of the citizens. If the law should ;>e amended so that the decision of the local boards of directors should not be rial in declaring what constituted alegal i|chool, but that the father iu a disputed ase should have recourse to the decision f the higher tribuuais, it would seem hat the object originally sought would x* gained in every resftect. It was not he intentiou of the fraiu|ers of that law khat any sect, or church, or nationality should be discriminated against, and I thiuk such an amendment as would mnent any posible discrimination and "lit the same tune secure the teaching of he rudimentary branches in English ivould meet not only the approval ot the original framers of that law, but tha ap­ probation of the public in general." , This is well. From the two political leaders authorized to speak for their respective parties in Illinois the opinion fhas gone forth that there shall be no nullification of the educational system in this State; by which the English language shall be boycotted in public or private schools. That is the ||ole principle at issue in the Illinois Compulsory law and in the Wisconsin Bennett law. If the ex­ isting laws give the school boards too much power, let them beimended in that respect! If the maehliieiy of the law is at. fauifcin any way, j*}tc4fc be changed. But retain in both laws and introduce into all laws on the subject, of education, the provision that the lawful language ot' this country shall be taught in all its schools. Governor Fifer and General Palmer are both right on this issue. --Journal, Low Sates to St £aul The Chicago & North-Western Railway will sell excursion tickets to St. Paul and return, on account of tlie meeting of the National Educational Association, ttt the rate of one fare for the round trip, with $2,00 added for membership fee in the Association.

House on Thursday evening, June 19th, with a wealth of splendor never equalled in this country, not even at the Chicago Opera House. It is anticipated that the pro­ duction will surpass in detail, in scenery and in costume all previous efforts made by the management of that theatre. New scenery has been painted by Mr. Fred Dangerfield and his assistants. New costumes have been made by Mr. George Kauffman, and Madam Sara Borwell, and new music has been written by Messrs. Hiller, Gagle and Madden. The piece has been entirely re-written by Harry B. Smith, the gentleman who has lately attained considerable celebrity for his clever work in the line of comic opera. The ballets will be entirely new and have been arranged by Senor Romeo, a gen­ tleman who for years has been the matre d'ballet. of La Scala. The entire produc­ tion will be under the supervision of Mr. Richard Barker who staged Bluebeard Jr., and whose wide experience in the line of spectacular extravaganza has fitted him eminently well for the position. The Nursery Rhymes ballet and the Banquet ballet will be preserved, but they have been elaborated and enlarged, and will be costumed in a superb manner. The cho­ rus will be an unusually strong one, com prising most of the members of the Gon­ doliers company. In this direction also the Crystal Slipper will be superior to i$s predecessors. The music will be as pre­ tentious as the best comic opera. The cast has never been equalled in this coun try. The piece will be presented every evening* with matinees Wednesdays and Saturdays. The scale of prices during the summer season at the Chicago Opera House will be: evenings,, 25 cents to $1.50; matinees, 25 cente to $1. 4th of July., The Chicago & North-Western Railway Co, will sell excursion tickets between all stations on July 3d and4th.good return iug July 7th inclusive, at one fare round trip.
