Boss Shepherd made ruoful comparison In
his communication to the District Of Columbia
Investigating Committee botweon tho oxpendi-
lures for tho improvement Of the District made
by tho National aud the Local Government. Flo
thought restitution ought to be mado to
tho District Treasury. A bill has been aub-
mistod to tho House by tho Delegate from
the District to meet this point. He
would havo Government property in tile
District taxed like that of individuals. Tho
ditrorouce between the appropriations Of the
two Governments Hinco 1900 for District
improvements, which is against tho Fed
Federal Treasury, is to bo restored to the Dis

THE WoMEN's CRUSADE AND TIE PEo-
PLE,a PaRTY.


The church-womon moved on the Common
Council last night in the limo Of battle already
announced, and with results no better nor wors,
than might have been expected. They did not
achieve victory, for their purpose waH to defeat
tho new Sunday ordinance, which was passed in
spite Of their prayerful petition md their earnest
demeanor. Thoy did not suffer complete rout,
because they returned to their assembly place
and resolved to 60 OIL with their work with TO-
nowod vigor. Our local columns present
panorama of the scones iucdout to the move
.neut, which are altogether unique in large city
like Chicago.
During the day, various meetings were held
by the ministers Of several Evangelical churches
In Which open sympathy was expressed with
tho work undertaken by the Chicago women,
though there was nothing like an approval Of
the Ohio crusade, OF disposition to advise its
adoption hero. About 200 Of the women who
ussomblod at Methodist Church Block yes
terday afternoon proceeded to tho Common
Council Chamber as early az G o'clock, and there
patiently awaited tho hour Of mooting,-quiot,

signed by 10000 women, and but one man in tho
Council was found mcan-splritel enough to raise
bis voice against it's reception. AID, Hidreth
claimed this distinction, aud sought to impress
hls lttleneas upon tho community by mixing
couple Of stumbling and as:nine speeches.
Fortunately for the roputo Of tho Coun-
ell, Ills eonfreres Of tho Peoples Party
showed better judgment, If they had no liindlior
feeling, thau Hildreth. aud tile petition was re-
ceiyed tho address Of Mrs. Smith, President Of
the Womon's Meeting, vas heard and both wore

were troatod in tho Oouncil-room with aa much

curious mon, half-Al1ed with tobacco-amoke, and

"HOVEREIGN8 OF INDUSTRY

Tho National Council Of tho sovuregns of In
dustry mot in Springfield, Maas., few days
einco. Important changes wero made In tho
constitution OF tho Order. Tho Supreme Coun-
ell, which was to DO formed next january, was
abolished, killed before It wna b6rn: This was
done In deferonco to tho West. Tho President,
A1s. Earle (the imposing titlo OF Grand Master
has beon discarded), found, during his recent
Wostoru trip, that tho 'workingmen regarded tho
Supromo Council as an ariBtocratio idea, q
scheme to keep the control Of tho Order in n fow
hands. Hence Its fate. Moreover, State Coun-
cils we're authorized In all States IN which ten
Subordinate Councila are previously formed.
Tho Illinois State Council will bo organized
within week or ton Days. Tie voxed question
Of membership was sottled by the adoption Of
the following section:
ANY person engaged in industrial pursuits, not un
der 10 ycars Of ago, Of good character and having 10
interests in conflict with the purposes OF ta Order,
Bhall bo eligible to membership, aud distinctions
In regard to rights anl privileges Of membership
shall DO made by this Council, or by State subos
dnato Council Gil account Of Eek, Creed race, or na-
tionality.
Another voxcd question was settled by the
summary beheading Of Secretary J. g. Abbott.
Els position as the roal founder Of tho Order
could not Bavo him. He WAS also the founder
OF tho Boston Grange. His persistence in aup-
porting 1t, despite the opposition Of his superior
officers, brought him into bad favor with tho
Patrons Of Husbandry. Els high position with
tho soverelgnB OF Industry il said to havo
injured the Order In tho oyes Of Grangors.
The soveroigns were aB uugrateful aa the pro-
verbal republic. They forced Mr.. Abbott to re-
sign, and Allied his p1ace with Mr.. 4. L. Bur-
bank. Other changes wcro made. OF the twelve
officials of tho National Council, only half nov
come from Massachusetts. The other six are
divided among New Hampshire, New Jorsoy.
Connecticut, and Illinois. This State La repre-
sonted by H. T. Elliott, the Chicago purchas'
ing agent OF the Grange. Ho is q member ol
