The Army of Idle Men That Throng the Streets of Chicago. “It is the sheerest foolishness for any sen- sible citizen of Chicago to attempt to contra- dict even the most lurid stories that have reached the east regarding the mournful condition of the unemployed in the big town,” said J. 8. Chisholm, a well-known board of trade man in the world’s fair city, to a Star man this morning. “It's a thing that cannot be got around. Of all the yawpers who ever rent into visible slices the opaque atmosphere of our town in praise of its muititudinous joys and vir- tues, I suppose I have been the most un- pardonabie any time these past ten years, and I was particularly ferocious in my de- fensive tactics before and during the prog- ress of the fair. Even at this moment, while I am talking, I am firmly convinced that the sky is higher in Chicago than it is anywhere else on earth, and the first tenet in my creed is that New York city, which in a past era may have had some pretensions to rival Chicago, is now merely an undérstudy for St. Louis. But Arcadia- like, as every true Chicagoan must believe his town to be under ordinary conditions, it is folly to deny that it ts in a most woeful condition just now as regards a very con- siderable portion of its population. A Double Burden. “The city is bowed under the weight of a double burden. When the gates of the fair were shut they closed upon many thousand employes whose prodigality in the matter of expenditures was encouraged by the general deliriousness of the occasion, and, who for the rhost part were not possessed of a single sou-marque when they were thrown out of employment. Besides these there were unnumbered thousands who were drawn into the Chicago maelstrom be- fere and during the fair, vainly hoping to get employment on the grounds offhand, and who, when they learned their grievous mis- take, were unable to get out of town. These two almost innumerable classes, who for the most part are still in Chicago, are the direct and most unfortunate sufferers from the natural reaction following a great ex- position in any community. ‘The same re- action had a powerfully depressing effect upon every line of business, and even the most enormous slumps from the fair-inflat- ed prices have dismally failed to restore business to its normal basis. An Army on the Streets. “Then, right upon the heels of the fair reaction, came the hard times which have afflicted this country and the world in gen- eral for the past few months. Thousands of men in every line of industry have been thrown out of work in Chicago by reason of this universal depression in business, so that at this moment there are easily 175,000 men, most of them eager for em- ployment, practically on the streets of the town. Never,in my opinion,in the history of this country has a charitably inclined peopie responded so swiftly to the calls of the suf- ering as have the people of Chicago under these conditions. But the talk of alleviat- ing the suffering of all or any appreciable number of the city’s unemployed has proven too gigantic, and discouragement is written on the countenance of even the most sanguine. Men in patent-leather shoes and silk hats have been put to work as laborers on the drainage canal and in cleaning the streets, and I venture to say that every profession is represented by the men who have thus been given an oppor- tunity to earn a bare subsistence. “The philanthropic people of Chicago have exhausted every conceivable resource in their endeavor to abate the evil which hangs over the city like a pall, and I dare say they have gone deeper into their pock- ets than the people of any other city ever did under similar circumstances. A Reign of Terror. “But the evil is increasing day by day. You can’t get away from the army of homeless and desperate in any part of Chi- cago or its environs. I say desperate, for as a simple matter of fact. a man whose | ay rance is in any way prosperous dis- | mays his wisdom, in walking through the darker streets of Chicago at night, by tak- ing the middle of the road, with a gun of large caliber in his right-hand overcoat pocket, ready for use; and thousands of the most solid citizens of Chicago are care- fully following this rule for self-preserva- tion. The conscience of a man who has been hungry for a long time is very apt to become warped, d this fact accounts for the long list of ‘hold-ups’ which the Chi- cago papers publish every morning. Mayor | Hopkins, on account of the reign of terror which the distressing conditions have caus- ed in the way of an alarming increase in crime, has decided to drive as many of the indigent as he can get hold of out of Chi- cago, and what is to become of the poor wretches when he puts this determination into effect is a sorry thing for a man to re- flect upon, for the condition of the country in general, and of the west in particular, is not conspicuously gladsome or hilarious now. ‘On my visits to Washington I have fre- quently heard employes of the government, drawing good salaries, lament their hard lots, but all the same I notice that Wash- ington, of all the large cities of the coun- try, is the least affected by the general blight, and it seems to me that a govern- ment job, with sure pay and comparatively little work, is a thing for any man to be grateful for just now.” SAYS IT IS HYBRID Mr. Sibley Attacked the Wilson Bill Last Night. Makes an Entertaining Speech With Many Amusing Points—Other Speeches Last Night. “But when it comes to business, Mr. chairman, I would not trust those fifteen lawyers on the ways and means committee to run the mule-end of my stock farm,” said Mr. Sibley of Pennsylvania in the tariff debate in the House last night. Mr. Sibley is a democrat, but he is op- posed to the Wilson bill. This is his sec- ond appearance in the role of kicking over the party traces, as he shied at the silver question, and trotted in the free silver class. Mr. Sibley is best known in the House as a millionaire owner of fine stock and blooded horses. He is as free and untrammeled in his Political opinions as the wild horse of the plains ts in motion, and as the former toss- es its head and with streaming mane ca- reers over the prairie, defying capture and subjugation, so does Mr. Sibley, with proud- | ly erected crest, canter away from the en- thrallment of party lines. No kite-shaped track of party lines for him, but the bound- less plain of personal liberty. The announcement that Mr. Sibley would promenade upon the Wilson bill with hob- railed shoes drew a large and expectant audience in the galleries last night, and when, in criticism of the ways and means committee, he made the above-mentioned statement, the crowd chuckled in a satisfied manner, as if it realized that it had not come in vain. Tariff and Finances. Mr. Sibley said that when he stood in the House on the 18th of August last and voted with the minority against the repeal of the silver bill the gentleman whose name the present bill bore predicted the dawn of a new era of prosperity. But nothing followed the passage of the repeal bill but pauperism, poverty and ruin. He made a bad mistake in his diagnosis. He again predicts that the sun of prosperity would rise on the country when the pend- ing tariff bill was passed. If the gentle- man from West Virginia would lift the lid and look down to the bottom of hell it would look bright to him. (Laughter.) He announced his willingness to give his voice and vote for a revenue bill, but the present bill was a hybrid—a cross between the highest protection and the rankest free trade—and, like all hybrids, possessed all the vices of both its without the vir- tues of either. The present bill would cause a deficit of $75,000,000 a year. “I want to know what you are going to do to make up that deficit,” said Mr. Sibley. He criticised very severely the action of Secre- tary Carlisle in issuing bonds to make | good the existing deficit, and he declared that the American people were bundsmen until those bonds were all paid. And he did not consider that loan a temporary one, | but year after year, he said, there would be a steadily increasing national debt. He Saw no reason to expect the contrary until the tariff was arranged to provide the nec- essary revenue. What He Had Heavd. He read extensively from Jefferson, and managed to make the words of the father of democracy fit his own views more or less snugly. He said that the feast day of St. Andrew Jackson was celebrated this month, and he had listened attentively for ali oratorical eulogies on the great Andrew Jackson and the immortal Jefferson, but all he had heard was the voice of the “cuckoo.” (Great laughter and applause.) He closed his remarks with an intensely amusing Story of his boyhood days upon a farm, not particularly api of the tariff lebate, but it fulfilled its mission of amus- | ing the House, and served to weil repay those members and the public who came to the House last night. The galleries, which had been overflowing during his omusing | string of anecdotes, became quickly deplet- | ed after Mr. Sibley took his seat, while the good attendance of members, who had drifted in, went out again. Other Speeches. Mr. DeForest (Conn.) was the next speaker. He is one of the members of the | majority about whose position on the Wil-| son bill there is some uncertainty. But | though he had very strenuous objections | to some of the sections of the Wilson bill, | Retably the tobacco schedule, he had | swallowed” his medicine, and spoke in praise of the measure. He denounced the republican party and the republican policy of protection, and lauded the democracy and everything dem- ocratic. Mr. MeKeighan (Neb.) held that there was no such thing as over-production— that consumers could be had for all the farm products raised. He urged an expan- sion of the markets, and advocated the| opening of foreign markets to the farmers, of America. European markets took five times as much of the products of the un- protected farmers of America as they did of the product of the protected industries. Free trade would certainly reduce the price of manufactured goods, but that was just what was wanted. Mr. McKeighan came out in an out- spoken way for free trade. He advocated an income tax and a direct tax whenever it was possible. Mr. Russell (Conn.) had been booked to speak, but owing to the lateness of the hour he contented himself with calling at- tention to the tendency to out and out free trade as against a low tariff for revenve only measure. He had never witnessed such brazen advocacy of the democratic doctrine of free trade. The republican policy of protection was based on facts and not on theories, assert- ei Mr. Russell. His h was mainiv eiven to a contention for protection on hosierv. He merely attempte’ to give a »rief ont- Iine of his views. and then, at 11 o'clock, the House adjourned. ¥. M. C. A, CONVENTIO!

Delegates From Many Sections—The Long Bridge Discusned—The Of- ficers and Members Here. The annual session of the American As- sociation of Masters and Pilots of Steam Veesels of the United States is under way, at Elks’ Hall today. This is their eight rendezvous in this lat- itude. They like this annual cruise to Washington, because it is the hailing port of legislation and the anchorage of the board of supervising inspectors of steam vessels. It is mutually advantageous for these schools of water sprites to tie up alongside of each other at frequent inter- vals. The association wants a good many legislative reforms in the name of public safety, and the inspectors want them to have them. Steamboat men refuse to slow down or lay to. They want to be in the lead in this age of steam blasts and electric shocks. They are holding the nozzle against the future, the engine bell has rung twice, and the jingle is being jerked out of joint. Then Washington is a good place to come to for a brief stop. The delegates can bring down their families, and carry back to their homes heavy freights of observa! and rich cargoes of memories of the one city that has the biggest breadth of beam, depth of hold and tonnage of any other town in the fleet of American cities. They can steer their homeward course laden down not only to Plimpson’s line, but to the walking beam as well, with chips of the Washington monument, stories of capl- tal guides and experiences at the unveiling on the other side of the river. Then the association likes Washington, because there (is plenty of liquid and solid refreshment. Scores of masters and pilots build their nests and rear their young in this river- side capital of the Columbian world.

Engineer David Hoffman of the South Orange local, which ran into the rear of the Dover train the other day nea> Hacken- sack, N. J., made a short statement yester- day of his responsibility for the accident Monday on the Hackensack meadows. “I had no signal of any kind,” he said, “nor was a torpedo placed on the track. I was not running my train at any high rate of speed, not even as fast as twenty miles ‘an hour. If I had seen any signal or hed received any warning at all I could easily have stopped my train in time. Had I been going along at a slow rate I might have been run into by the train that was follow- ing me. “Long before I came to the Pennsylvania crossing and at least a mile f>om the bridge I blew a long whistle and got no answer from the train in front of me. The fog was very thick and I could not see the train in front of me. While I was easing my train up for the bridge sicnal the rear end of the Dover express suddenly loomed up in front of me and then came the crash. I had no warning and I was not running too fast even for the fog. It was not right to blame me solely for the accident. Had the road used the block signal it might have been that the accident would have been averted.” Coroner Valk announced that he would hold the inquest Monday evening. arene Tickets free, food exposition, page 5.—Adv,
