CASUAL CHATTER.

John Caulfeld, Secretary of the
Water Board-W ednesday there will be
some tall kicking f1om people living in
The low service district of the city.
Tomorrow the last day expires in which
to pay water taxes i'll that district:
Those who fail to pay their taxes Will
be obliged to put up with the lncon-
genience of having their water supply
cut of.
Capt. Peter Berkey-1t has come to be
quite fashionable to get up important
and EXPENSIVE schemes in this city and
crowd them through the city council or
the chamber of commerce on
the claim that it is necessary to decide
the matter quickly or it will be no use
TO do it at all. Now | don't want to
stand in the way of any valuable ana
desirable public improvement, but L do
want a reasonable time in which to con-
slider a subject. | do not think | ought
TO be called upon to give my opinion or
vote upon any important matter that |
do not understand, Besides this
my opinion is that the chamber
of commerce and the council
eught to refuse to be hurried
sgto discussion upon any subject with
but having had time to give due consid-
grafton.
We will not have cause to fear the
postal authorities at the ensuing cleo
lion in Chicago said Robert A. KilgOur,
secretary of the Cook County Young
Democracy, as we did four years ago,
for now our own men are on guard. In
the last presidential campaign we were
satisfied that our circulars were not be-
ing distributed as promptly as they
I;hould be, and we caused the following
notice to be given TO our friends: we
have reason to fear our notifications to
members regarding assembly places
are not delivered by the letter
carriers. Note the time this
reaches you, and we are certain
to prove ourselves no deadheads in this
enterprise. Good work was done by
our organization. and we had a pretty
good joke on the Republicans after the
election. Some enthusiastic Blaine
man had ordered carload of pampaS
grass plumes, having counted on the
election Of the man from Maine, but
when the returns were all III he was
sadly disappointed and had quantity
of stuff on his hands. In his dilemma
he mentioned this fact to one of our
young Democrats and the problem was
satisfactorily solved. bring your
plumes down to our ratification meet
ing" said the Democrat, land we will
buy them from you and wear them in
honor of Cleveland" A bargain was
quickly struck, and one good Blaine
man was converted to the cause of
Democracy.
j. ii. Davidson-It makes me smile
when hear some people express so
much sympathy for the poor people
and seek to retain Scent fare on the
cable line. Where does the cable line
run? 1t runs down into the wholesale
district and up on to Selby avenue. The
lower end is in the business district and
the other is up in the aristocratic neigh
borhood, where all the dwelling houses
are worth from $1,000 to several hundred
thousand each. Such cable line with
its Scent fare ought to be very consoling
to a poor, tired, Overworked sewing
girl, who seeks out her place of abode
bn some obscure side street.

j. P. Moore-What is the use of talk
ing about building town here without
having the necessary means of quick
and easy transportation from one point
to another? Here we are with city
that is increasing in population at the
Ind what accommodations are being
prepared for their transportation? A
man with a family don't want to come
here and buy home without having
some way to get to it. What sense is
there in driving people out into the
country with no way of getting back?
1t amounts to inviting people to come
hore and then giving them no chance to
live after they reach here.
