BUILDING PROSPECTS.

Bulldingprospects are frightening.
The majority Of new structures that
may be expected to SO up will be
private residences. There is yet
plenty Of time remaining before
winter, for building operations.
Plans are often made out and build
ing commenced as late as September
OF the first week or two Of October.
In the best OF times building oper-
ations are usually slack in July and
August.

RENTS.

Rents are also flat Just at present
landlords are hunting tenants. The
ambitious efforts Of our citizens to
restore Chicago to more than It's
former scale of magniicence are
having the desired effect There is
no longer poverty of accommoda-
tions for business and dwelling pur-

THE LOAN MARKET.

Strange to say, the loan market
seems faJter than ever. There is
literally no demand for real estate
loans. 1t is probable that during
the whole history Of Chicago there
has never before been so much
money lying idle rs at present.
The banks are gIutted with it. In
terest rates show strong tendency
to decline. Loans OF $4,000 and
upwards may be readily had at s
per cent small loans on improved
property still command from 8 to 10
per cent.

This has been the best real estate
week Chicago has seen for six
months. Inquiries have been active,
sales have been freely made, and
trading has been unlimited. And
what is of still greater moment,
this activity is not of spasmodic
character, but bids fair to continue

I The most remarkable trait IN the
story of the Jews is the singular
devotion they have always shown
to mental culture, and the priceless
benefits they have reapcd from their
sedulous care of education. This
Has been the potent spring of all
their wonderful presentations and
their indestructible energy. The
schoolmaster has saved them from
the fate of Babylon and Tyre. 1t
was because they were educated to
industry, docility and order, that
they have survived the prosecutions
of priests and kings, and have be-
held the destruction of their foes.
While papal Rome left all the world
in ignorance, and has ever opposed
the progress of knowledge in every
land, while under its barbarous
rule Italy, Spain and France we're
left with . debased population, OF
| whom not ono third could read and
write, the ylof corrupt nobility
and Of immoral courts, the Jews
have always set the example of q
general education. While in Eu-
rope and America the Papal Church
is everywhere denouncing the cause
of public instruction, the Jews have
always been the firmest of it's de-
tenders. In our own country tho
common school system has no more,
strenuous supporters than the dis
ciples of the Taimud, and no bit
terer foes than the uncultivated
church which would snatch child.
rem. from their parents and hold
them in perpetual barba ism. Nor
is the condition of the two con-
tending powers uninstructiye. The
Papal Church is perishing amidst
the ignorance in which it has labor
4 ed to envelop itself; the Hebrew
race is entering anew upon on un-
impeded progress. The lesson OF
the Jewish story, indeed, is that
education alone can preserve the
permanence of races, and that the
perpetuation of nations and insti
4 tutions rests upon the intellectual
cultivation of the people; that the
school house is more potent than
fleets and armies, and that the
schoolmaster is the modern king

ton to assume political shape, to
read carefully the declaration OF
purposes ard principles Of tic Dr.

at st Louis, before making any
decisive movement of political
character. It would be difficult to
form more perfect sentences than

as other questions embraced in this
important document. There is no
possibility of making it read but
one way. If you have no copies on
hand, we can supply back numbers
of the Grange and Council, to. a
limited extent, in which it may be
found. The organization of the
Patrons of Husbandry is destined,
if properly conducted, to be OF in
!, calculable value, not only to the
farmers, but to the whole country,
and no one would regret more than
we to see any calamity befall it
Yet right here in the columns oi
the Grange and Council we desire
to say, and call upon every Patron
Of Husbandry to mark well the de
claration that we make, that SO sure
j as this mad policy of nominating
candidates is engaged in by the
Oranges, so sure will its death klel
be sounded, SO sue will this noble
and now giant power totter and
