CHICAGO Feb. Sine question of high license

hope that the Common Council will make any
change in the present license rate, which is
$50. At the last two meetings various reso-
lutions were offered to increase the rate
to sums ranging from $1O4 TO $500, but
the LIQUOR interest is strong that every resolution
has been tabled and thus progress has been made
The public is now looking for relief to the Legisa
ture, where bill is pending fixing the rate al $500
Even in that body the prospects are far from hope
full.
Another bill, however, is pending in the Legisla-
ture which receives the assent of the Chicago
Aldermen, as it increases their pay

Council and also allows the same amount for each
committee meeting. few of the better class
oppose it. but the majority, headed by the Mayor,

GAMBETTA'S DEATH.

No man since the days Of the first Ma
poleon has achieved more brilliant
career in French politics, than he whose
death all friends of the new Republic SO
universally deplore. His desperate and
gigantic efforts to rid France of her in
vaders after Sedan, were without prece-
dent in the history of Europe during this
century. He was the incarnation of all
that was bold and indomitable in French
patriotism, in its last great display. 1t
was not strange there that Il French
people should have looked fondly to him
as the only man, under whom France
could hope some day to reassert herself
and wipe out the humiliations of feeble
and impotent Napoleonism. Nor on the
other hand, is it reassuring as to the fu-
ture of the French Republic, that its fate
should have been SO widely regarded as
identified with one man, and he i'll some
degree at least, not influenced by what
Americans of intelligence would call fix
ed principles. 1t seems indeed unfortu-
nate, that the only French statesman,
who had the confidence of the people, did
not submit to the conditions under which
he to-day might have been their living

The first and foremost result of this rev
