A Wicked Chicago Man.

There is very prominent bus
mess man over in State street
who always wears very demure
expression of couDtenance, al
though he is fond OF joke. Que
day he walked into Charlie Barnes
hat store aud soberly inquired
whether the house made discounts
to pastors. MI. Barnes himself
was on hand TO assure him that
they did and wonld allow the usu-
al 90 per cent of. The solemn
man then said he would like a be
coming hat. Several were shown
him, and after a good deal of
thought and inquiry he finally Sc.
lected one marked 50, which Mr..
Barnes said he would sell him for
81. The solemn man put it oil
and contemplated himself for some
time in the mirror. Was the hat
becoming to one in bis profession !
Mr.. Barnes was confident it was.
Would bis congregation be likely
to take any exception to It'll Mr..
Barnes was confident they could
not. Then the solemn man looked
at himself some more, and, after
making another inquiry as TO
whether ii would be sure to please
his congregation, produced his 81.
Then he started out.
At the door lie paused and i'll.
quired again:
"They can't find any fault with
it, can they p
Most certainly not,n said Mr.
Barnes confidently.

solemn man as bis hand was upon

GAZING BANKS,

A large portion of the levee in
front of Judge WHY'S Bass place
has gone into the riyer. State
Engineers Thompson and Smythe
came up during the week and
laid off the line for a new lcyee.
This line we are lnlcrmod runs
back of the Wyly residence and
gin and throws ont almost the Ell.
tire Bass place. 1t is TO be regret
ted that the levee was not built
upon this line last year, for il
would have saved a good many
dollars to the public which has
been virtually thrown into the
river by the building Of the levee
at that time so close to its banks.

Washington, August 2I.-What
shall be done with the President
for an unmistakeable violation of
the tenure ofoffice act This is
the problem confronting Republi-
cans now. aud is likely to be a
matter of very lively discussion
when Congress reassembles. VIM.

ber. He succeeded John III. III.
ney, a Republican, whose term of
Office had expired. When the
Senate met, Groome was nomina
ted 10y the President, but the Sen
ate adjourned this summer with
out having acted upon the nomi'
nation. On August 0, the Presi.
dent reappointed Groome, who
now holds the office under com
mission running until his success
or is appointed and confirmed or
until the end of the next session
of the Senate. Now the tenure.
of office act, section 1859, specifi
cally provides where vacancy
has occurred during the recess Of
the Senate, as this did something
less than year ago, and 40 noml.
nation for the Office is confirmed
at the next session of the Senate,
that "the Office shall remain in
abeyance without any salary, fees
or emoluments attached thereto
until 1t is filed by appointment
thereto hy and with the advice
aud consent OF the Senate"
II the President had respected
the tenure of Office act he should
have left the Vicksburg .otlice va.
cant. that Is, in allegiance until the
Senate meets in December, when
he could have sent in again the
nomination of Mr.. Groome. The
constitution, however, provides,
(sec. 2, art. p that the President
shall have power to fill all yacan.
cies that may occur during the re-
cess of the Senate by granting
commissions which shall expire at
the end of their next session.
President Cleveland has boldly
planted himself upon the constitu-
tion, aud exercised the right it
plainly gives him. The thing to
be seen now is what will the Re-
publicans do about it. He has de-
fed the tenure.of office act, but as
the house is Democratic they can
not impeach him. aad except to
reject the nomination of Groome
they are manifestly powerless.

THE CORPORATIONS AT FALL RIVER ACCUSED OF
TREATING THEM UNFAIRLY.
FALL RIVER, Nov. (SpecaD.-The failure OF the
Board of TRADE to meet during the week and take
action on the cotton operatives petition for an ad-
vance in wages has caused an unfriendy feeling
among the working people. The question is one OF SO
much importance that the result of last nights meet
ing was awaited with great interest. Reports were re-
ceiyed from most of the mill treasurers to the ehec
that sufficient time had not been given to consult with
their boards of directors with each other None OF
the treasurers gave any encouragement that the pe
ton would be granted. The general tenor OF all the
reports was the same and they were received with
many manifestations of dissatisfaction by the meeting
operatives One point urged was the fact that so
far is known effort was made TO secure meelnB
OF the Board of Trade TO have any consultation oe
tween the treasureTs Some OF the treasilrers hau
plainly intimaed TO the deputatons which waited up
on them that the advance would not be granted.
The sentiment OF the principal speakers was Ill favor
OF beginning a strike Immediately They called atten
cla ed and to the generally favorable condition ot
business and argr ed that they had claim TO share IN
the general prosperity. Others stated that during the
last six months OF 1883 prior to the reduction OF
January, 1854 the earnings OF the twentyseven cor
porations averaged per cent and that their wages
Cut down. 1t finally voted to postpone sc-
tion until next Tuesday evening when the regular
meeting of the Spinners' Union will be held.
