Being desirous to aid tho Ohicago Times in It's
efforts to mako living, wo arc disposed to con-
gratulato Mr. Storey that ho is IN applicant for
tho city printing, and that Aid. nIcarath has
agreed to 60 for him, and uso hin
influence with tho Irish mombers Of tho
Common Council. Wo aro disposed also to
admire tho forgiving and Christian spirit Of tho
Times, and tho equally nob!o candor with which
atcGrath drops his shiilelagl and rushes into tho
arms Of Storey, az II ho woro long-lost brother.
AID. McGrath Is no longer d designing scoun-
drol q man bont only upon schemes Of mischief
and aelf-aggrandizemont aud bold, bad Alder
man, but capable, honest, and dill
gent official. The Irish aro no longer
race Of bog~trottors with hair on their
tooth, nwearing, fighting, drunken wrotchea
living in the filth of Bridgeport and tho squalor
Of Ktlgubbin, beating their wives, atarvlng their
children, abusing their neighbora. and swarming
in our Police Courts and Dridewoll. Now that
public printing is to bo distributed, they aro as
good as " any other man," If not better. Such
harmony as this, such D reoonoiling Of conaict-
ing olemonts. such loyo and mutual forbenranco
aro touching exhibitions Of Eclectic good
will and Iriuh doclily. Every Iriahu,an'a hair
Noao Of .Aon drink whisky or fight. They aro
Il temperate, frugal raco, patient under proyoca-
ton, :usl dinposed when they aro smittcn on ono
clcol to turn tho other also,
We repeat, therefore, tl.at we ere disposed to
felicltato Mr Storoy that ho Inns become rocon-
ciletl to a1cl,cth and the Irish. and that with
their help he is going to get tho city printing.
Aid. 3IcGrath il oil excellent man to do thi5
work. Hia well-known contempt OF lucro his
honesty Of Purpose, and freedom from indict-
n,ont qualify him for this labor Of love, and wo
arc incliuod to aid him. Tho Times is tout Of
moat." AR. StoroY's circulars to businessmen
have not had tho desired effect. This is timo
Of general stringency. It is going to be hard
winter. 1t is time when We should all foel
charitabIy disposal toward tho indigont aud
thoso unable to 1nn:3 II living without public
assistance. Tic ,nb1ic havo always felt
L sympathy for M:. Storey, struggling
along SO quietly and patiently, nover injuling
man or woman. mover saying an uukind word
about any one. During hie recent effort to get
some advertising, wo did all in our power to help
him, oren offering our own columna for his use.
notwithstanding all that VIC did, We arc paincd
to say that it was Of no avail. In times OF gen.
eral financial strngoncy, the public ia very apt
to overlook private appeals. II Tho Benson Aad
been moro favorable, yyo have no doubt we might
have got soma advertising for him ; but wo arc
not dishea1tsaed On that account. Wo are still
going to help as much as posaiblo II we can
| succeed in carrying tho TIMES through tho prcH-
ont rtr.ngoucy, r,ore Is hopu for it, md wo Bhal
haye tue roward Which always follows tho por-
formanco Of benevolent actiona, which IL all
.Ae reward VIC ask.
And III tho first placo wo cau inform Storey and
