Stye Democrat. WEDNESDAY, DEO. 27,1809. OPPIOIAL PAPER OF CITY AND OOUNTY It Is to be regretted that at this Christmas time, when there should be peace on earth and good will toward men, the two great English speaking nations of the world should be engaged in wars of conquest. During the past week the English armies in South Africa have been get tingiibeir breath. They have not at tempted to molest the Boers who are Btill besieging the English garrisons at Ladysmith^Kimberleyand^Uafinking. The supreme court of Illinois has decided that the ordinance of the city ,'ofChicogo, which prohibited depart A ment stores from Belling meats, grocer ies, provisions and liquors, is unconsti tutional and void. This is certainly a big victory for the big stores. Some are In favor of amending Sena tor Mason's resolution expressing BJRCN patby for the Boers. They argue that the Boers are not In need of sympathy and that if we believe that they are fighting for what is right, we Bhoula tend congratulations. their do atr with safety. He is a great beast of burden, sure footed and strong, but the English will find that it will require more than his weight in wild cats to keep him within range of the Boer ar tillery. The supreme court of Illinois has de cided that the ordinances of the city council of Chicago regulating the busi ness of department stores are not con stitutional and are void. One of the ordinances prohibited the sale of meats, butter, lard, vegetables and other pro visions in the same building where dry goods, clothing, jewelry and other arti cles-were 'sold. The other ordinance prohibited the sale of spirituous and malt liquors in stores where dry goods were sold. The cases against several .. proprietors of department Btores were tried before a justice of the peace, from whose judgment an appeal was taken to the criminal court. From the judg ment in that court an appeal was taken to the supreme court, which holdB that the multifarious business of depart ment stores is legitimate and i° entitled to the protection of the courts. Bight the Wrong. The Waterloo Reporter sizes up En gland's position in South Africa in thib way: The canker that is gnawing' at her vitals Js the lust of money. If she sees additional gupremecy for her commerce in the possessions of other- and weaker a tpeoplea lands under the name of cbris tianity,-progress and civilization she marshals her ships and proceeds to their conquest. If lt la gold that is in sight,-under the samtf -banner of pro gress and civilization she goes forth to war,regardless of right, asin the case of South Africa. It is the lust of money. XHLBR.
