CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-1n view of the fact that
the City Fathers Of Chicago could no longer miss
hearing the universal cry for retrenchment, and
have at last complied with the well-founded
wishes Of the taxpayers for an appropriate re-
duction in the expenses OF the City Govern
ment; that Hyde Park and other towns have
recognized the necessity Of retrenchment by
cutting down salaries and reducing expenses
otherwise, it Is quite surprising that the Town
Board Of Lake are in this respect still tagging
behind. And perhaps nowhere are the com
plants of oyertaxation more justified than In
this town, and surely nowhere are tax-eaters
more numerous and better paid The eKpendi-
lures in the last three years for so-called im-
proyencnts have been enormous, as Is clearly
shown by the water-wOrks having swallowed up
hig sum, more than twice as much as wns ex-
pended by the City OF Rockford for works OF
about the same extent. 1t is therefore not to
be wondered at that the taxes this year are
about three times as high as they were two
years ago.
And yet in view Of these wcll-settled facts,
the Town Board not only retain their numerous
servants, but continue to pay salaries that, even
in war-timcs, would have been considered good
compensation. The Engineer and Attorney are
receiving, for the the little work they have to go
through w.ith about the same remuneration as the
corresponding class Of of1icersin Chicago, where
these Offices are surely no sinecures. The Town
Board of Hyde Park, for instance, have reduced
the salaries Of Attorney and Engineer to $4,000
and s, 500 respectively, and hare cut down the
pay OF Village Accountant, Superintendent Of
Public Works, Treasurer, etc, correspondinglY.
All that the gentlemen OF the Town Board Of
Lake have thus far done in the direction Of re-
trenchment has been to cut down some sala-
rieS a little. But does such thing not rather
look like adding mockery to injury to the poor
landowners that are oppressed with taxes,
while the public servants live, as it we're, luxu-

n TIE FdffoF ~ The tribune.
CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-As THE TRIBUNE is al
ways ready to lend its columns for the ex-
posurc Of fraud and dishonesty, wherever lurk-
ing, venture to solicit its influence in calling
attention to the wrongs inflicted upon much
abused class by the rascality Of its employers
the st scalawag" architects Of Chicago. The
general public mostly ignorant Of the fact-pat-
cut to everyone III the profcssion-tf thu major
ity of the architects OF this great city are men
ignorant Of even the rudiments Of their profess
sion, and, consequently, dependent upon their
employees for whatever credit they get for their
dcsigns- This, OF course, is a fact nrnatcrial to
the public ut large, hut the grievance of the
draughtsDicn is III being swinllct1, after having
helped to build up the reputation Of their en-
ploycrs:
notwithstanding, that it is tile rule rather than
the exception with the majority OF the sol
distant architects OF Chicago TO 'tbeat' theft
employees out Of the great portion Of their Just
earnings. The facility with which they tan do
this is caused by the surplus Of this. kind Of
labor in the narkct,-cspccialy since the great
tire,--tnus enabling them easily to replace one
victim by another ignorant Of their true char
actcr. I have 4 list before mc-beiag daily
augmented-givins the names and indebtedness
Of some dozen Of the leading 1elinquc1ts, not
one Of whom has any property that can be s.at-
tachcd, and the only chance the poor victims
have Of getting paid is by persistent dnnnine,-
poor resource, as this class Of men is thor
otghly shameless. There is one architect here
having abundant propcrty,-safciy male
oycr,-who is indebted to vurious draum{t.-
men thousands of dollars, with no pros-
pccts Of their getting one cent! As the
only remedy, or check, to this too prevalent

TO the Editor ~ The Tribune
CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-The other day dropped
into the Wo1nan's Temperance meeting in Low
er Farwell Hall. Ten ladies were pEesent-four
Oh the platform, acting as leaders, while six
acted as audience, or rather the nucleus Of an
audience Of about $50 men.
With prayers and remarks from the different
leaders on the stand, heartily seconded by pray
ers and remarks from the audience, both male
and female, the exercises were highly interest
ing. Mr.. Charles n. Morton, Of Brooklyn, for
merly of Chicago, gave forth at length stirring
words Of hope and cheer, of counsel and advice
in the good work. His remarks were truly edi-
fYing, and, as IL later speaker said, be =" hit
the nail square on the head" And, barring
dig at Mayor Heath on Sunday laws and thea
tres By one of the speakers, the meeting WAS
delightful.
But there was one thing that seemed public
offense,-it troubled me at least. One OF the
leaders, the lady who presided at the organ, ls
spoke several times, and once arose and deliver
ell very practical, sensible set speech. The
voice was familiar, yet I could not make out
who she was. I admired her attire, for her
superior n,ind,--her singing md playing we're
excellent, her dress was without fault How
such woman could enjoy speaking In public
with the heavy fringe edge Of that veil directly
across her mouth, could not understand Why
did she do It'll It certainly could not be COM
Portable to the speaker. It seemed to me in
bad taste and an insult to her hearers. She did
not seem like woman who would do anything
from mere affetation, so when asked the per
son at my elbow who she was, | was very much

so highly. dear! But l set it down to ec-

NEW YORK, May 2O-In the Presby-
terian general assembly to day it Wss
Announced that the Presbyterian alli-

land, July 4, 1877. The annual report
on home missions showed the oTgsniza-
ton Of fitty-eight churches and two
hundred and ten Sunday schools. The
receipts the past year were two hundred
and eighty light thousand dollars; ex
penditures, two hundred and eighty-four
thousand dollars. DR.. Beadle went to
Philadelphia last night on behalf of the
committee in regard to closing the Cen.
tsnnial exhibition on Sunday. DR.. Prime
hoped the assembly would go to Phils-
delphis in body to attend the unveil-
ing of the Witherspoon statue, and sug-
gested that an opportunity might then
occur on meeting with the Centennial
board, thereby giving greater weight to
their opposition to the proposition to
desecrate the Sabbath. Adjourned.
