HOW WE ADVANCE,
Containing Some Remarks on the
Beauties of Life on q Street Car,

The life of an ordinary street car con-
ductOr is not altogether an enviable one.
He is addicted to late hours. with the
usual resulting danger to his constitution.
He comes daily into contact with more
people and greater variety of them than
any class of men existing under the pres
ent condition of society. a considerable
per cent of those he comes in contact
with belong to that variety of the GEM
homo who think that by paying for five
cent ride, they on the strength of that in
veStment, become owners of the line
and proceed to cause dollars
worth of trouble and ANNOYANCE. and
causing much mental proceedings on the
line Indicated in Numbers 32:1O on the
part OF the conductor, driver and other
passengers.
Yesterday evening downtown car on
the Avenue c line contained an apparent
Iy greater number of this class than
usual, the car being full and most of the
passengers men. Near the Sunset dcDOI
the car was hailed by party of four la
dies. The car stopped. and the ladies
looked vainly for seat. stop of fully
CwO minutes being made by the driver to
allow some gentleman to show his breed
ing by exhibiting a capability to think of
others, beside himself. Nobody stirred.
xviii some gentlemen rise and give
these ladies Seat?' said the conductor
dJ lcLSIu. NO response, ana Jne car
moved on, the ladies declining somebody's
suggestion to ride by standing on the foot
board and cling to the sides of the car the
rear platform being full. and they retired
to the sidewalk to wait for the next car.
There don seem to b" any gentlemen
on board, remarked the conductor, au
dibly to himself.
What do you mean by that" fercely
demanded several passengers, who over
heard the remark.
Exactly Whit | said" returned the
man in uniform, unflinchingly.
Il shall report you to the, company for
your impudCnce,' continued one who was
apparently most riled.
The presence of an officer who sided
with the conductor prevented pngiiStic
demonstration, but for some time they
continued to VOlubly denOunce the con-
ductOr, the company and anybody who
dared to imping against their char
acter as gentlemen.
I'm not going to give up my seat to
anybody. That's what | pay my five
cents for, said one. Let the company
put on more cars and accommodate their
passengers" said another; 1--we stood up
many =! time and I'm going to quit it, . put
In third. By this time the car had
reached Houston street the ruf1led individ-
ualS had quoted down, and the reporter,
hanging all the time to the side of the car.
went his way wiser man, with some
agreeable reflections on the excellence OF
the conductors lesson, and the encr zach
mentS of metropolitan selhShneSS that
follows metropolitan advancement.
The next mail will probably bear a
number of complaints to the management.
complaining Of the impudence of No. s.
and somebody will get a Job. So the
world moves on to higher plane. and a
gentleman can travel without his breed
ing being brought to his notice.

than that number will come TO him before

Illinois are little mixed yet. BY the

cosin on local matters, the school ques-
ton being the principal one. By law
passed last winter, called the Bennett law,

the first grades On account of good
share OF the inhabitants being of foreign
tongue, they considered the law to be an
oppressive one and by the aid of the
Republican, Democrat, Catholic and
Lutheran votes the democrats carried the
State by 10000 majority. Therefore the
Bennett law will probably be repealed
or not enforced at present. The Demo.

Washington Letter.
From our Regular Correspondent !

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. IA, 80.
Senator Sherman, who is always cool.
headed expresses his opinion Of the recent
oyeriurn as follows: "The most serious
result OF the recent elections is the hard
ening of the times, caused by the distrust
Of the financial policy Of the incoming
House of Representatives. All sorts Of
financial schemes Of the widest character
will be proposed, and whatever may be
the outcome they will make capital timid
and arrest many enterprises that were on
the point of being executed. The first
effect OF this may be seen in the present
panicky condition of the New York mon-
ey market. The taiff act would have set
on foot many new industries which will
be prevented or delayed by the doubt
created as to the industrial policy Of the
future. The exbuberant Joy in foreign
markets over our elections is the best
evidence Of the danger we have to meet.
Foreigners do not understand the con-
seryative nature of our institutions, which
require more than one election TO change
our policy, but timid men among us will
be affected by the hopes and expectations
of foreign manufacturers and will NOT
engage in competition until satisfied OF
the stability Of our protection policy.
And then who can tell what will be oui
standard of values The immediate fall Of
silver upon the happening Of an election
is an indication Of disirust and alarm
The policy Of tieing together gold ant
silver, with an increase Of currency, gave
hopeful outlook for the future, but re
newal Of the contest for the free. coinag,
of silver will cause an expectation o.
boarding Of gold and a relative fall o
silver. Our only course as Republicans i
to maintain and strengthen our industria
policy on the line we have pursued In th'
hope that by the next election the peopl
will be convinced by the test Of time tina
the tariff act will not advance prices, bu
will advance home industries"
