Successful Impasitions on the Soclety. An Appeal to Give the Unem- ployed Work.

One of the greatest difiicultios encountered by n Reliaf8 ocloty visitor ls froquontly the fuding of the poreon ho is iu woarch of. Many of tho strects in tho back part of the clty are dovold of sign-board to indicato tholr tame, and the houses, Irequently clustorad togothor in baok yards, aro innocent of aumbors, Thus it often huppons that an En- glsh-spenking visitor, hunting in the Gorman quarter for tha residenco of an applicant, spends *ho best part of o day before hio gots on thoright track, Ilis orders, howaver, are to hunt aud bunt, and'exhaust all resourcos, bofore the find- g of the nddress is given up. A GOOD AGTRESS, A thing which the visitor must guard against Is tho occuslonnl imposition which is attempted. It is but » short time sinco o visitor, ono of tho most caroful and able who have ever been om- ployod, waa detailed to call upon & starving * Irigh woman and hor throo childron. He found bter ns dirasted, and roported to tho Booloty o casd of real poverty, tho house boing without stove or fucl, sud tho aged crone and her threo children ehiveriug and mosuing in the cold. On thae strength of his report o ton of conl nud somo monoy wore forwarded totho liouso. 'hio next day hio happened acoldentaily luto o comtortable place with blazing flre and ther evidouces of solid comfort, and was sur- prised to moot tho misersble croature who had obtamed aumstance tho dny before. Making fn- quirics, ho found that slio was compuratively woll to da, and had hired the 1oom in which i first saw her, and borrowed tho children to as- siat hor i playing tho Jaunar, whicl she had dono to kuch purpose. L'ne visitor tried to stop the dohivory of tho conl and mouey, but the case bnd Deou set down a8 urgent, and they wero alrendy wafely disposed ef. A DEFONTER ON A TOUR. In order to give some iusight into tho practi- eal dotnils of the chintitios of the Chicago Relief aud Aid Socloty, o 'PrupuNereporter was dotailed youtordny to . call at tho Boclety’s oftice and arraugo to inake o trip with one of tho vieitors, Mr. Tiusdoll was vory glnd to nccommodate biut, and ut onc placad” bim In charge of o vis- itor of somo littla experience, who wus sbout to mako o trip amoug tho unemployed'of the North Bide. Armed with thie tollowing LIST OF QUESTIONS to bo propounded to each n\ppum\utz tho visitor strted tn the directiou of 70 Noith Canal stroet, 1t will bo scon that tho list ia quito oxhaustive, and lesvos the visitor but little scope for the ex- oreino of orlgiuality iu cross-questioniug, when 40 buw astied for information to be recorded un- der tho following honds : 1., Name of applicant. 2.

On his way to No. 70 North Oanal stract, the yisitor stated thet on an average trom seven to ten wuy o fuir number of visitations to roport upou in o day. .Ho thought that the destituton In tho eity was widespread, but that very urgont engos woro comparatively fow and far Dotween. In such oases It 18 the duty of the visitor to ro- tarn at onco to headquartors, and see that im- mediato rolicf is afforded. Inlus first attempt at visitation the Socioty's agout wus unsuccess- ful, no dwelliug boiug” found at No. 70 North Cuunl street, the lot where such s numbered dwelling mey in future timo stand beiug occu- pied as & lumber-yard, A DESTITUTE BWEDE, Making s momorandum to this effect in the document which was to bavo contained u descrip- tion of tho woea of tho applicant, the visitor moved woatward in tho direotion of West Kiuzie street, whero lio wan more successful. Tn theplaco desigunted on his list ho found a Bwede, with a wifeand child, living in a littlo room about 12 feot Bguare, in & very miserabls conditon. T'hio mun who sought for ralief was also u Bwedo, 80 years of uge, able-boilied,. but out of work, He lind worked part of the simmer in a quarty, and towards its close in wstable, inthn{ out of work he had como to his friond who, himsolf poor, gavo bit a lodging gratie, but uo food, The man'bad never bad auy relief beforo, and what bo wantod wae work in the pineries of Wiscon- sin, ‘Cho mun of tho house, who was smoking a cigar, not o 25-cont **Hoffmaun" but still - o woll-tlnvored weed, in a moerschanm bolder, put in _a word for hnuself boforo the visitor mada his depart~ are. He snid ho had hnd %10 and wome coal trom tho Soclety; aud_wonld lko to know if & further application would prove successrul.

Ono slrange and universal idiosynciacy notices able was the love of dogs which all the visited epparently poescseed. Every house had ita watch-dog, from the immense brute ohainod in tho yard to the bluck-nnd-tan that frolicked on tho floor with tlio latest nddition to the fast- coming family.

THE CHIOAGO TRIBUNE, CHICAGO WEEKLY TRIBUNE. TR LEADING NEWSPAPER I THE NORTHVEST. - TEE PAPER FOR THE FARMER, MECHANIC, MANUFACTURER, MERCHANT, BANKER, PROFESSIONAL MAN, AND THE FIRESIDE, ?ROSPLECTUS FOR 1874, Tho coming year promises to bo the most eventfulin s political sonse that we have soen sinco the closo of tho war. The questions which have engrossod and divided the publio mind during the past twonty years aro rapidly pessing awsay, and wo find growing up in different parts of the country a party called by vari- ous names---in California the Inde- pendent party, in Iowa the Anti- Monopoly party, in 'Wisconsin the Reform party, in Illinois the Farmers’ Movement---having a com- mon purpose and inspiration, and exhibiting a strength which proves that it answers one of the chief de- mands of the hour. The CHICAGO TRIBUNE will give a large share of its attention to this NEW MAN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT. It holds: 1st. That the old party orgamiza- tions are essentially corrupt and fraudulent, Having no longer any principles to carry into effect, they have become mere business entor- prises, meking a show of opposition to ench other, but really sharing in the proceeds of profligate and dis- honest legislation. To suppose that any healthful reform can flow from the pretended efforts of these worn- out and demoralizod partnerships is altogether vain and illusory. 2d. That the tariff’ systom now in vogue is & cunning device to rob the many for the benefit of the few, and that its effect is to cause farm pro- ducts to oxchange for about one-half the quantity of foreign or * pro- tected” goods they would otherwise buy. 3d. That railroads cannot exact more than a fair rato of interest on the cepital actually invested in them, and that when, in addition to this, they claim dividends on watersed stock and fraudulent bonds, the State may rightfully interfere for the protection of the people; thatunjust discriminations betwoen different localities are in violation of law and should be prohibited. 4th, That subsidies or bounties of money, land, or public eredit, to railway, steamship, or other corpo- rations, are flagrant abuses of the powers of government, fraught with the gravest dangers to the people, and tending to promote corruption, extravagance, speculation, and financial disastor. The general charactor of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well established to need recaepitulation. It is always independent and fear- less in the expression of its views. In its news depertment it is second to no paper in the United Statos. The Weekly Edition contains & caro- {ully prepared summary of the news of the week, brought down to tho hour of going to press. Literary, politiocal, financial, so- cial, and agrioultural topics will constitute, as herctofore, leading features of the Weckly Edition, and no pains will be spared to increase its attractiveness in these depart- ments, Its market reports are un- surpassed, embracing all the infor- mation which farmors roguire for the intelligont transaction of busi- noss, both as scllors and buyors. THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is 8 large cight-page sheet, of tho samo gize as the Daily Tribune, consisting of {ifty-six columns of closely- printed matter, and, as a family newspaper and in its general make- up, is unsurpassed by any paper in the land. THE TRIBUNE will be furnished during tho ensuing year at the fol- lowing rates, payable in advanco: WERKLY TRIBUNE. ve Con “Pen Cop Tiftee: Tweuty Cuplew,.
