T. STEWART & CO. YTHE DALL 1N MOTION "—IT WILL BE KEPT NOLLIND. Written for The Tribune. Before the embers of the “dreat Fire! had ceased smoking, one of Chicago's representn- tiva men commenced bullding an elegant block of warchouses on Washiugton street, near Wa- bash avenue,. JIis best friends looked coldly upon the enterprise, consldering 1t alinost sul- clde, financinlly spesking. But the vrojector of the enterprise went boldly forward to the comn- pletlon of his work, and the result was the cree- tlon of one of the very handsomest bulldings in this city of palatial atructures, 'This inammoth edlfica contalns 75,000 squars fect of room, being elx full stories in helght, with a high and weil-lighted basement 103x13¢ fect In measurment, Many ruuplc have pnused for s white In front of this block to admire the lofty height and nrchitectural heauty of Hastyle, Btill, for neur- 1y five yeara it has been uninhablted, and the fears and prophiceles of the proprietor's friends seemed to bie certuln of fullillment. 1t was truly a hicavy load to carry, this mag- niflcent structure, costing about $300,000, with an annual expense of about 40,000, in nsurance, taxes, and interest; a load under which mau, men of amalier ealibre would have succumbed, and fallen. But Col. Wiider's mottu, lke that of Lako Erio’s icro, was and fa: ** Never give up the ship!" and ho hios looked cheerfully upon his *white clephant ** during all the years of panicand the almost hopeless prospect of scelng his vast enterprize rewarded, But dayilght succecded the futense darkness ot last, aud the present arpect of affairs is de- cldedly encouraging, Several weeks Mr, Babin 3mith, the accredited agent of the great louse of A. T, Stewart & Co., of New York, arrived licre, looking for o desirable locatlon for the establistiment of n branch of that renowned tiouse, Placing himgelf in consultation with the well-known real-estate dealer, Mr. A, J. Averlll, the Wilder Block and*ts adjolning stores were at length declded upon as the ve:‘y identical spot for the desired” purpose; snd, after several interviews with Col. Wilder, he was at fast conatrained to lease lis elegant Llock, though on terms ridiculously low. And liere the ~Colonel proved limscl! entitled to tho reputation of M"5 a_ thoroughly represcntative Chlengoan, for ho saw the great benefit that wonld accrue to the city of which he has been for forty years an active, cnterprising, and uscful citizen; and al for tive yeurs ho will recelve no pecuniary ben- eflt, #o far as income is concerned, from the lease of ** My Bluck,” still the future advantages were uot to be Ignared. The excltement attendant upon the pub- lleation of the news that A. T. Stewart & Co. are really coming to Chleago to open up their immense dry-goods busi- ness {s without aparallel in our hlstory, Many of our prominent louses In the trade seomed to be utterly sku‘)zk-nl as_to the assertion; and one or two ‘'sorehends™ pronounced It un- worthy of bellef. Having through Col. Wilder's great kindess liad desk-room fu the bullding for several weelis, Iean give you a few ftems of in- terest as to the excitement prevailing the week after Mr. Smith had concluded the bargaln, On Sunday last, during the forcnoon, long lines of velicles filled with pleasure-seckers, many of them clerks of the large houses In the clty, filed past My Block,” puzing {ntontly at its beautlful proportions; while now aund then one of the more curious would put his head within tho door, saylng: “Sir, I beg pardon, but 1 would like to nsK a tew questlons, and first of all, 11 it really true that these premises and ad- jolning ones are leased to A, T Stewart & Co., of New Yorkf” On belng unawered fu the af- firmatlve they would step down luto the spacious basement, then move to theopposite sido of the strect, and gage up to the lofty cornlcs with luoks of wonder and exclted interest, On week days, from morn till night, the num- ber of appleants for positions under the now firm s inuense: Engincers, porters, dray-men, floor-clerks, ete., ad infinitum, drop in increly to sk o few guestions, which no _one now hero s nuthorized to nnswer.

W cll, the election resulted in clecting the eco- nomical tivket, of gentlemen in part of high- sounding na'nes, and who talked and promised extraordinary economy; hence we all felt easy and hnpp{y for n senson. But what was our sur- prise, before the summer was half over, to learn it our cconemleal Board were quietly reinau- murating the Forty-third strect sewet project ugain, and pretty tiuch upon tho old basis, and this without any petition or movement on the part of the cltlzens concerned, or unj imrumunr neeessity nlleged or set forth for so dolng, Now, what is the rat{onnle of this unlooked- for and unuceessary expenditure at this leem larly-distrossing hard time, in direct disregard of official promnises, and without the request of the thousand or more residents or tax-payers whose property, already sinking under its bur- dens, they provose to lond down with $80,000 more of assessinents and taxes? Some ono says in explanation that certain Trustees desirs to be clected to Congress and wish to propitiatg the Stock-Yard influence, I think If they carry out thissewer project as pro- posed at the present time, that they will show themeelves mmmknhl{ fit for a Congressman of the late Credit-Mobiller stamp, but for every vote thoy gain ot the Stock-Yards they may count on Josing tive ut home. That there are ulterior inotives and influences in thig project over and abovo the fntereats of the people who will have to pay, there is no question in the minds of any sensible man, It 18 understood that Mr, Hoxle and one or two of his neighbors who own consklerable swanp land upon the west side of the town are prime movers, and particularly anxious for the fmmedinte consummation of thls project, and that certaln Stock-Yard Interests make up the rest of the Ring who are hearine apon the Board of Trustees, and that such is the fact and axtent of the operations I have no doubt, It is their project beyond a douht and not the wish of the citizens of Hyde Park geoerally at all. And we will haven chance tores In the end whether our Trustees arc worklug with an oyo singie to duty and our Intcrest, or for themssl- ves and thelr Ring fricnds; 1 wish to have them understand in scason thut their action in this und all other motters will be appreclated according to Its character, and dm{ may find that they have o constituency to watch and call :}lc\l\ to’rccount whenneed Lo as woll as to clect hetn. 1t is my opinfon that if they lct usinto this job ot the present time "they will bear & owl befors they are through with it that will set them to thibking of thelr latter end, If 1t was u Cook County matter I shiould consider anythineg I might write or say thrown n\nty, but T have atill soms falth in, and lopes of, our economival Buard of Trusteca that I voted for last spring, In coucliston, how many of the tax-payers hetween Thivty-ninth and Fifty-first strects, the luke uud Lake Township, do you suppose would klgn 8 petition at the present time for nn $80,- sewer on Forty-third street whero there fs already o sufticiently good sewer for all present ru vscs ¢ Licho answers how many.
