, DEC. 18, 1897. Tue Senate of the United States got good and closed up the Senate bar at the beginning of this session, Bat one day was all those pious ser- vants of the people could stand. The senate bar is wide open. Mr. Bryan has gone to Mexico. At last he is in the land of heart’s desire, in the land of free coinage of silver, where forty cent doilars are paid out to skilled labor. ers at the munificent rate of 75 cents per day, where a man who gets $1.25 per day in 16 to 1 dollars is an aris- tocrat. What kind of a report will he bring back to the American labor- ers? Will he still be willing to go before the American public and ad- vise the voters to substitute forty cent dollars for our one hundred cent dollars good as gold the wide world over? This is what the workingmen would like to know. Hap the Mayor dealt in facts, out- lined given the present financial condition and recommended a policy. some clianges in the management of departments, instead of endeavoring to tell factories how much they could afford to pay their employes, the city might have profited by the proclama- tion. We want factories here above all things and the reason inducements are offered is to keep up with other cities. It would, however, the height of fully to ask a man to locate here and enc what he could afford to pay his men ; he would simply go where he could run his own business without dicta- tion. This recommendation of the Mayor was made to endeavor to court There be eavor to dictate to him favor with the working men. are as good business men among me- chanics as there are in other voca- tions and it is putting them in the light of needing some one to act as their guardians for the city to assume such a ridiculous position. jetors gf successful manufacturing establishments today were the em- ployes a few years ago and the fra- gal, scber and industrious mechanic of today will be a proprietor some day. It is well always to remember there are two sides to all questions. THE GENUINE ARTICLE, A story comes from Cleveland, 0., which gives an illustration of what we call practical Christianity.

The Iliinois he A Position That Other Tax Pay- ers Would do Well to Observe —Other Railroad Notes, The Courier-Journal says: A railroad that does not resist taxes is one of the rare fluds. ‘The Hlinois Central at present oceupies this posi+ jon. In one of the western counties of Kentucky where the Illinois Central has considerable property a number of the corporations and the wealthy property owners banded together to oppose the school tax on the ground that it had not been properly voted. They, of course, wanted the co-op ation of the Illinois Central, as it was probably the biggest taxpayer and the most powerful corporation in the county. They felt certain that the Illinois Central would help along in the fight. None of the law- yers who were engaged inthe propos- ed litigation could recall an instance where a railroad did not resist a tax if it saw any possible chance to do so. Judge of their surprise then when they received an emphatic **no”’ from the railroad. The ‘*no’* was in practically these words: We are willing to pay any just tax for school purposes. | We believe schools cannot be established in too gr numbers, nor people given too many chances for education. The better educated the people are the better able will they be to see the relation between corporations and the people. We want everyone along our live to have an education and we are willi to pay our just share to that end therefore you will have to make your fight against the tex without our as- sistance.’’ The Illinois Central before many months may have its own rails to Nashville, Tenn. 1t bas acquired the Ohio Valley road, which runs from Evansville, Ind., to Hophius- ville, Ky. ‘The distance from Hop- kinsville to Nashville, which is al- most due south, is only seventy miles. The Ohio Valley is now reached by the Central's rails on the Chesapeake & Obio. A shorter line by the Valley road can be hi building twenty miles, from Eldc to Shawneetown, where, how the Ohio river woul have to crossed. The Ceatral reaches El- dorado by the Cairo Short Line, which it now owns. During the summer the Central has bullasted its lines south of the Ohio aud built uu- merous bridge ago Record. CLEVELAND'S LUCK. As one of the echoes of the ‘late uppleasmurness,"* the —followingy un official communication 18 reported from Secretary Herbert to Miss Har- riet Bainbridge Richardson, in which Mr. Herbert wrote: “Please accept my thanks for the bottle of forty-fiye-year-old whisky, which came safely to band, and of which President Cleveland shall taste when ] give my cabinet digner.”” Thus it seems that while Miss Rich- ardson lost out, old Grover, with his usual luck, was strictly in it. THE TRIALS OF A MILLIONAIRE, The following news item is gomg the rounds of the press: ‘Wm. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil millionaire, has tied up a peor widow's legacy that be may collect from her $17.50, which he claims she Yessen a legacy of $1,500."” The story gees that ‘‘ Nicholas Cas- sidy, a wealthy bachelor, became ill and she cared for him, with the result that at his death his will awarded her a legacy of $1,500. This amount was to be paid her next week, when the estate will be settled. sidy also left Mrs, Yessen a horse, and this she has pastured in Rocke- feller’s lots adjoining her little home in Cassidy Park, Mr. Luxon lias usrze of the Rockefeller farm, and when he presented his bill of $17.50 to her for pasturage, she could p pay it.

It is averred, however, that Mr. Rockefeller does not actually need that $17.50 for his living expenses, but that just that sum 1s necessary to finish out a con- tribution to build another Rockefeller chapel.
