Monday looking To request to the Governor
to call special session OF tho Legislature to
pass sucll laws rs may DO necessary to enable
tho city to collect tho back taxes which the
Supreme Court ilas decided hayo never been
legally leyiod and arc void. Lcaving out Of
Wow tho question whether tho Legislature
lave any authority to enact such lawR as is
proposed, VIC suggest to tho City Council the
expediency Of organizing commission Of
competent persons, members Of the Bar,
and eyon Of tho Courts, who will scrvo with.
out compensation, to mature such amend
,ncnta to tho General Revenue law as will
mako tho pnyment OF taxca compulsory. Tho
Supreme Court has given solemn notice that
no special rovenuo acts for this city OF all
cities can bs tolerated. There can be but
one general law for the collection Of taxes
IN tho State. Tho machinery for The asscss-
ment aud lery Of ta1cB by citica under that
general Inv needs 10 amendment. How
ey.r inadequate tho machinery for assessment

The Chicago Democrats, rs tsual, nro In

acquired through tho accession Of certain

ecutions, dcfalca.iona, otc.. WINS so badly om-
ployed that they orc again hors t'e combat be-
fore tho fight. They wero for some timo in
doubt whother they should call n Convention
or not to nominate, but they finally decided
to get together their last City Convention
noxt Thursday, and then put up candidato.
Their dilemma was TINT If tIcy nominate
ca,nlidate for Mayor ho will certainly be de-
featca, and this thsy freely admitted bnt 1t
wns urged that, if li,oy didn't nominate, J1x
afcGRAru would 10 regarded as tho Demo-
CRITIC candidate anyway, md they would

Tic real concern Of tho Chicago Democracy
ip that they 1ave their eyes on what is
loft of T1LpES's "barl OF money"
aud they want to take that courao
which. will best holp them to get THUR arms
into it. They think II they run candidate
for Mayor now and ho is defeated, ~ will
pretty certainly happen, Mr.. T1LDEA and lis
mnnagors will conclude TINT Chicago is hopo-
lessly Republican, unl that campaign money
can bo placod where it will do moro good
On tho other hand, II they confessed weak
noss by refusing to contest the grouhd nt MI
they would haya no claim whatovor on that
"bar1 OF money" Tho aituauon Ia cor
ta,nly not worry encouraging. Tho prospect
for tho Chicago Democrats getting any Of
that money is exceedingly bad. There ID q
limit oven to Nr. Tt1pEN's RESOURCES and to
hia Willingness to invest them, aud ho will
probably decline to waste my money in a
community whcro tho Democrats confess
themselves impotont.
There waa somo talk In tho Dernocratio
Committee which decided to call tho Con.
vcntion about nominating "good man.
It WIS suggested by the candidaturo Of Jr,,
McGnAru, who, it 6oomed to be conceded
is not "good mnn." OF course wo should
like to SEQ this profession realizcd. 1t 1t il

Numerous letters have come to our table
from various sources urging our emphatic con-
tradcton of the published report that employ
ment can be had by any number of young girls
at the Centennial Exhibition. 1t seems letter
or circular has been widely distributed signed
by parties representing themselves "a agents
for the Centennial Commission" Offering remu-
nerative situations, expenses paid and wages in
advance. Girls are advised by the circular not
TO consult their parents, but to come without
their knowledge. The managers of the Exhi-
biton have no such agents and have authorized
no such statements as the above. The scheme
is so transparently vile that we hope it may de-
feat itself. Young girls who have the fear OF
death and perdition before their eyes will not
| so much as read one of these invitations TO sui
eide. Philadelphia can furnish an honest liv-
ing to no one who will not give honest work for
it. The country maiden who is comfortably car.
ed for in her own quiet village is hundred-fold
better conditioned than she could be there. She
may take our word for 1.-THE agents" who
are scattering their infamous circulars through
the country can give her neither honest work
nor an honest living.

GooD,-The Post Master Editor don't like it
that we find fault with his den, which he face
tiously calls post Office and in retaliation he
informs the public that the COLUMBIAN as pub
lished in an alley, up stairs, in back room and
perhaps the filthiest public place in town." Just
so, the COLUMBIAN office, as every body knows,
is located on the same alley as the Court
House. 1t is perhaps as dirty as any public
place in town, except the post Office A print
ing office is never as neat as parlor, but we
are ready at any time to compare neatness with
the Republican. Since they have opened the
ball We will go little farther in the description
of the COLUMBIAN Office The editorial depart
ment occupies four rooms, the smallest of which
Is larger than the one used by the Republican.
Our composing room is larger than the sanctum
and composing room of the Republican together,
and our press room is larger than their sanctum
and the post office, and we employ three more
hands than they do. The COLUMBIAN GUNS the
building in which it is published, and the ma
terial in the Office but the P NJ. Editor dares
not claim even small font of type as his own.
They make one mistake knowingly. If they re-
fer to dirt in our sanctum, which is public, they
know the charge is false. If they refer to our
composing room, they know that is not public
place, no one being allowed to enter except on
business. If you want comparisons, give us a
full one.
