in eur voting force OF q, 900, but in
average pluck they are moi up to the
mark Our importation from the
East il especially unthriftg. 1t con-
sists Of young Micawhers that are al
ways waiting for something 10 turn
up and never have the grit TO make
something turn up. This is owing
| partly to the cold suspicion that our
people give to newcomers, hut chief
| ly to the naughty and high-hying
| qualities Of the newcomers them
selves. We always put clogs in the
way Of fast men, There is nothing
Of the kind in Chicago. We have a.
business prescription, 1t says to
merchants Il buy fyou, you must
vote the same ticket and attend the
SAME church, thatI lido. Young men
Of merit win do here, but brains arc
base coin. The smart youngsters that
float out here from the East had bet
Ter 90 back. They are pitched on too
high a Key forour civilization, They
had better "tarry in Jericho until
their boards be grown.n Missouri
ans rule this eltyi and everybody
must kRow that Miss0urians are a
elan who move disgustingly slow.
They are so conservative that they
won't lock at the new moon cut Of
profound regard to chat venerable
Institution, the old one. The old
proverb says @bray fool in NOR
ter and hts folly will not depart from
hhinl.p Missourians have been bray
ed in morters, tifteen-inoh guns and
hQwitzers, but they are as fresh in
| their folly as before the war.
THE FINES THAT FAST MEN PAY.
Our ideas ofjustice are somewhat
PECULIAR You get out of petit laree-
Eny ON fine Of $50. 10 go drunk In
the ditch only costs you $40. You
eango through the whole alphabet
of profanity for S.. For keeping a
bawdy house you only pay costs, II
you are white yagrant you pay
$50, butifyou happen to be black 1t
is $50. This sort Of assessment rem
der the same serSic ice 10 the eommu-
nifty that the Irishman's ideas Of
good preaching did, it 'joombles the

REAL ESTATE AND RENT,
4 Real estate is getting lower. Be
gin on Thirteenth street, where you
can buy a lot 100 by 100 for So, 900,
and add Eve per cent for every street
further into the city until you get to
4 Tenth; then add ten per cent down
TO Eighth; for Seventh and Sixth,
add respectively 80 and 40 per cent;
for Fifth and Fourth, make it SO and
J, so per cent; then reverse the ratio to
: Water street. The property that
! cost you 5000 on Thirteenth street
t would be worth $18, 600 on Sixth
! street and sac, 900 on Fourth.
Rents are tolerable. You can oc-
eHpy six rooms in the sixth story on
! Sixth street for S600a year. A com.
| Portable house of eight rooms, ten
blscls away from your business, will
: cost from S700t to 81, 900 year.
