An EMPLOYERS TTRAENY.-The chapter Of IT,

business, have been guilty, is a long one, and
embodies almost every conceivable meanness
that could, 10 any probability, be made to en-
nance their gains. The case We are about to
consider is but one of many hundreds, wherein
workingmen, with q suAiciency Of manly temer
ity to speak out their honest convictions, have
been made to suffer We have young friend
who has for some time been employed by one
Of our CITY R4ilroad corporations, in a RESPONSE

DEMAED ToR CHINESE LADoRERs AT The EAST.
Yesterday a letter was received by a gentle
man IA this city iron Mr.. Ed~ard Sanford, an
attOrney-at-laS Ia Morris, Grandy county, ILL.,,
making inquiries as TO the mode and expense Of
obtaining Chinese for domestic and farming
purposes. The demand for tins KIDD Of labor
at the East seems TO be constantly on the in
crease.-SAn Francisco Alta California.
II the pettifOgging shyster referred TO has no
ambition to become ornamented with coat of
tar and feathers, he had better mind his own
business, if he has any, which we doubt, and
leave to some other knave the unenviAbIe honor
Of being the first importer of pigt4ils to the
prairies Of Illinois When we state there are
thousands Of farm laborers now in the city, who
are anxiously looking for employment on al
most any terms, the animus Of the above in
quiry may be seen at a glance. Nc. Sanford,
take our advice-if you have any practice,
stick to your business. II you Invent, hire
out for $50 per month, aud earn an honest liv.
ing for once in your life.

TIE people OF Chicago thiuk they have been
sWindled long enough BY the gas companies.
and are moving for the appointment Of inspect
ors and metres. The Common Council Oh ,uld
Immediately take the matter ia hand, for these
extOrtiOns are too grievOus to be borne. With
the appointment Of inspectors who cannot be
bought up, thousands OF dollars will b. saved
to our cltizens every manufacturing Journal.
If the Constitutional Convention no~ in
session will do its duty, the reign of this cor
POration, one Of the most obnoxious 10 the
city, will soon come to an end. Let quietus
be put upon SPECIAL legislation, and our word
for it there will soon be a change in quantity,
quality and price. The Chicago Gas Company
has become an intOIerable nuisance, and the
public welfare demands its suppression, or what
amounts to the same thing, that an opportunity
be given to a rival company to supply better,
cheaper and purer article than that now fur
nisbed our citizens at such exorbitlnt rates.

The Travellers Insurance Company.


We again direct the attention Of our readers
to the annual statement Of this prince of Life
and Accident Insurance Institutions, published
10 our advertising columns, a statement which
speaks louder, il behalf OF its stability, honor,
the magnitude Of its oper atoms, and the priuci-
Plies upon which it has been conducted, than
arr language OF oars can convey, For years
the Travellers has been acknowledged ~ the
representative accident insurance CO Of America,
while each succeeding staten int has proven It's
continued prosperity AMI growth in popular
favor Though formerly combining its operations
TO the field Of AccIOENr insurance alone, It now
offers special iuducem 9n-s as . LIFE pany,
prominent among which is its virtual repudia-
ton Of the DIVIDEND practice, which, in nine
cases out Of ten, is paid for by the insur by
special levy on bis pocket Preferring. in the
first instance, to give the insurer the benefit Of
the dividend 10 the cost Of his policy, it is en-
abIed to furnish life insurance for premiums At
from thirty to thirty Eve per cent. below that
charged by the high rate companies certainly
a very important consideration with our class Of
readers But perhaps that which most com
NERDS il to public favor is the financial record
/ presented. While its gross assets amount to
the enormous sum Of 81 1851 ,O07.l6, its unad-
justed claims muster but SS5,sOO. Even
after deducting 5000, S47.27 as reserve for re-
insurance in the Accident and Life Departments
there still remains over all liabilities the hand
some surplus Of $500, $40 lO-a record Of which
any insurance company may vel feel proud.
While life is uncertain at all times and under
all circumstances, it is peculiarly so to the me-
chsnic, the workingman, whose avocatiOn
places him in danger almost every hour of his
life and it is to this class especially chat the
advantages Of life insurance presents itself
Yet, strange to say, be is Of all men the most
indifferent. Now that life insurance, By the
system referred to, is brought within the reach
Of the poorest, we hope they will avail them
selves of the Offer.
