permanent location at: the North as laborers
competing for bread. When foreign work
men, therefore, vote for Hancock with a
view of Furnishing the negroes, or In approval
of Hancock's opposition to "nigger domina-
tion," let them remember that for every ne
gro who because Of Democratic oppression
at the South shall seek refuge at the North,
there will be one foreign workman reduced
to competition at low wages. Unless their
blind, ignorant prejudices are too deeply
rooted, they will see that it is to the direct
interest of ali foreign workmen that the ne
groes be persuaded to remain at the South
and net forced, as they will be by Southern
political domination, to come North to a land
Of equal rights, and where they can get a

entirely conslstent'with the trucking, cow
ardly attitude maintained BY him in the in
teryiew with Grant, which is nova fact Of
the deepest historic Significance. It is sig
nificant because it shows that the Rebels had
only to Breathe upon the '"yain, weak' man
Hancock to make him forget his oath and
his duty to his superior officer. How idle to
hope that this doughface, this man who de-
fed his superior officer, and openly violated
law OF Congress to gain favor with unre-
pentant Rebelb-how idle to hope that he.
would as President interpose his veto to save
the Treasury Of the Nation from spoliation
at the hands'of the rayenous, greedy Southl
There lie stands, the creature of the South.
The South made him what he is. The South
has paved the way to the utmost Of its ability
for his election by bulldozing and fraud, and
he erasps eagerly for the price Of his sub

AoituIldtcl3s tnl8 is not pIaVtlcuiI4 Ilut. lAe
law, limits the tax for library purposes to
orte.ffu OF Il mill; while there is practically
no limit to the, lcyu OF taxes for school main
tenance, buildings, and lands. The Council
can add any sum to the levy for school pur-
poses that may be needed, but it cannot add
penny to the tiftl,-of-a-mfl1 levy for library
purposes, and at.yields but . small sum.
Outside Oft the Board of Education there
can be but few rational men who will not
concede that as q matter of right the prop
erty at the corner Of MONROE and Dearborn
streets belongs to the Public Library; lnas-
much, however, as the title is technically
vested in the ''School FUND.- (although Con-
gress intended\ to vest it in the City Of Chi
cago) and under the control Of the Board Of
Education, it may demand q rent; but the
only rental which that Board Gun justly ask
of the Library Fund IS sum not exceeding
the probable annual rental Of the old Bride
we'll lot.
There Is something always tearful]y i'm
posing In the majesty Of municipal
Board,7 aud IN point of majestic conse-
quence the Board OF Education is equal to
any occasion that may present itself. But
even in this case that Board is not om~
nipotent. If majority of that Board
shall request it, the City Council by
two-thirds vote may order the sale Of the
property to the Library Board, fixing the
price to be paid therefor. The Public Library
Board is authorized by law to purchase any
property needed for Its uses. The City
Council may also deduct from the school ap-
preparations sum equal to any rental 1t may
obtain from this property, and which may be
paid BY the Library for other quarters.
