THE GAS TRUST.

CORPORATION Counsel Hutchinson had
himself interviewed one day this week,
and said:
ever since Mr.. Charlton withdrew
his suit against the Gas Trust have
been considering whether it is not my
duty to begin proceedings against that
corporation on the ground that it is an
illegal combination to prevent compe-
tition, and that such combination has
been entered into by the officers of the
several companies composing it in vio-
lation of their franchises and of their
contracts with the city, The Supreme
Court of this State has declared the
trust is illegal, and yet, as l under
stand it, the trust is operating here
without warrant of law. / have spoken
to Mr.. Robinson, my assistant, In
reference to bringing suit in the
matter"
"What, will be the nature of the
proceedings?"
at will be in the nature of a quo
warranto."
Now. THE EAGLE will watch closely
to see whether Mr.. Hutchinson carries
out his promise in relation to this
nefarious trust. If he does not he viii
be pilloried.
His assistant, Mr.. Robinson, has
been interviewed also. He said: $
am preparing to bring suit in quo war
ranto against the companies. We vii
get at the thing in few days. l have
been gathering material for some tins
preparatory to such action. I have ne
doubt the gas companies have forfeited
their charters. The decisions of ou
own courts and of the New York court
sustain this view. The public Interest,"
and the dignity of the city demand
that we take such action.
Let us see, however, whether Mr.
Robinson will do his duty by the pub
lie. If he does not, it would have beel
better for him that he was not mad

Now let an intelligent, disinterested
Republican look at the list of the Re
publican aspirants as printed above,
and he will find in it an explanation of
the causes of recent Republican de-
feats.
With hardly an exception they are
all old stayers, perpetual pensioners,
perennial pap-suckers.
Gleason, Gilbert, Burke, Morgan,
and Blodgett, candidates for Sheriff,
now hold office. They have held office
for a score of years or more.
Honest John Spry and honest Matt
Benner are the only ones in the lot who
do not hold Office. Both are good men.
But it is dollars to doughnuts that the
Office holders constituting the Repub-
lican convention will select the bar
nacles in preference to such business
men as Spry and Benner.
And who are Reyes and Wygant,
mentioned on the Republican side for
Treasurer OF course it is entirely
proper and becoming in Henry Wulff
to be candidate for County Clerk
again. But who are the other fellows
Lorimer used to be an office-holder,
and perhaps is. Darlington was a sort
of steer supervisor in Lake Charley
Gross is Deputy Sheriff. They are
all of the office-holders and Office
seekers gang and the barnacle order.
The four Republican candidates for
Probate Clerk are tax-eaters now.
Two of the Republican candidates
for County Judge are Justices Of the
Peace. These two will doubtless be
preferred by a convention bossed by
the Hertzes, Stephenses, Monaghans
and Johnsons, TO attorneys of conspic-
nous ability like Elbridge Haneey and
Edward Maher.
The Democratic list Of candidates is
much better than the Republican list.
The candidates for Sheriff, With the
exception Of Lawler, are ali good men.
and che public has NOT tired of them.

THE EAGLE predicts that If the Office
holding Republicans force the nomi-
nation of barnaeles this fall their ticket
will be showed under.
With new and strong men like Ben
ner and Spry they may win.
If the new men are not to the front
the Democrats will win, hands down.

Pleasant Journeys.

Pleasant journeys can always be had
via the Wisconsin Central Line. The
employees are courteous and obliging
the sleeping and dining cars and day
coaches are peers of any in the North
west. The leaving hours at principal
terminal points are convenient and the
depots are centrally located All to-
gether it is the most desirable route in
either direction between Chicago, Mil
waukee, st. Paul, Minneapolis, Ash

JUST after midnight, compositor in
the Office of the Bombay Gazette, who
had been for three weeks on a spree,
imagined he heard strange noise.
Looking at window over his head, he
saw huge cobra slowly entering the
composing room. He imagined that
the vision was caused by an alta ok of
delirium tremens, and that the snake
was merely the product of diseased
brain. Still he was so terrified that he
had to scream. His cry brought his
associates to his rescue, and the snake
was killed with an iron bar.

MISS HUNT was alone in q small
cabin in Iowa Gulch, Col, when three
toughs came and ordered her to get out
three square meals, and be quick about
it. She asked how they liked their
eggs, hard or soft, and at the same in
slant covered the nearest tough with
revolver and pulled the trigger. Pieces
of his iawbone ratified against the side
of the cabin, whereupon Miss Hunt,
with delicate sarcasm, observed that
perhaps "two square meals would be
enough" The two toughs begged for
mercy, and were permitted to carry
their wounded companion into the
brush.

THE French newspaper originated
in rather peculiar way. During the
early part Of the seventeenth century
a physician named Renaudot resided
in Paris. He was an inveterate gossip,
and owed much of his professional sue
cess TO his reputation as a collector of
news, patients seeking him as much to
obtain tidings of what was going on in
the world as on account of his medical
proficiency. In order TO increase the
number of his patients he obtained
permission from the Government to
print sheet every week for dintriuu-
tion among his clientele Tho first Of
these sheets appeared In 1852, and 10
great was their popularity that the
ingenious physician soon had many

slumbered in pigeon-hole.
The passage of this ordinance would
give the Cast Trust a new lease of
power in the city. The trust would
operate the lines of the old companies.
If the rights and privileges of those
companies shall be questioned pend
ing the passage of this omnibus ordi
nance the measure, if passed, would be
of questionable validity. The action
of the Corporation Counsel. then, may
be looked on as an effort to head off
the Gas Trust conspiracy and the
Aldermanic combine.
1t is true, of course, that nothing
has been done recently in relation to
the Gas Trust ordinance, known as
the ordinance of the Chicago Gas
Company, but that renders certain
other movements all the more suspi-
cious.
Thus, at meeting of the Gas Com
mittee Monday, the ordinance of the
Independent Gas Company was taken
up and recommended for passage with
out the alteration of word or a line.
There was no agent of the company on
hand to explain its provisions. There
were no lobbyists around. Aid Burke.
Chairman of the committee, said he
did not know what men were behind
the Independent Company's ordinance.
Aid. Ryan, on whose motion the ordi-
nance was recommended, said he did
not know. AID. Mcknight, who intro
duced the ordinance, merely said it
was backed "by strong capitalists of
the Town of Lake"
Is it the purpose to operate the
trust under the provisions of this ordi-
nance? Or is it the intention of the
mysterious hackers to be in the field
with new company when the fran
chises of the old companies shall be
declared forfeited?
In this connection, too, il may be
observed that Aid Vierling introduced
an ordinance for an Illuminating and
fluid gas plant some time ago, and that
he stated at the time that prominent
Chicago capitalists who had invested
in the Indiana natural gas fields were
interested in the project. 1t was ascer-
tanned ON Tuesday that The capitalists
referred to by Mr.. Vierling are J. w
Doane, Erskine NJ. Phelps, and, it i:
limited, S. W. Allerton. Now it would
be greatly to the advantage of this new
gas company that the charters of the
existing companies should be forfeited
Has that fact anything to do with the
rather precipitate action of the City
Law Department? Or has the favor
able action on the ordinance of the In
dependent Gas Company by the Coun
Gil committee been recognized as {
move in the interest of the trust which
required to be checkmated at once?
The Aldermen who are not in tn,
secret are those who are most puzzled
about the affair. They want to FIND
out but cannot. A few days will de
N6lOp TIC True luNdTuueSs OF THE Ndrl

among the honest Aldermen is that tn,
Independent" Gas ordinance is
sandbagging affair; that the .Chicag,
Gas Company's ordinance will sool
have precedence, and that the Cit.
Law Department will not vigorousl,
push the proceedings against the com
panies forming the trust
1t is said to be the intention of Ger
tain Aldermen to develop their schem
before the vacation, and the impression
prevails that the scheme is to pass a
( ordinance in the interest of the Ga
Trust.

"Money Goes"

The old saying that money goe'"
was illustrated recently. A customer
rendered $50 bill. The tradesman had
it changed by a neighbor, who, being
in hurry, gave pocket piece of $40 in
gold of the issue of 1861, which he priced
highly and did not want to part with.
He went to the tradesman as soon as he
had given the valued coin, and the lat
ter went out and hunted up the custo-
mer to whom he had given it. He had
bought some cigars at a neighboring
store and had given the gold piece in
payment.
Upon going to the cigar store it was
found that the proprietor had trans
ferred the coin to q saloon keeper near
by, and at that place it was found that
the saloon keeper had used it in iquida-
ting his brewery bill. The next day a
neighbor went to the brewery and found
that the cashier of that institution had
just parted with the coveted piece of
money to a dissatisfied employee. The
individual was at last located and the
coin recovered. Chicago Times.

Senators and Flowers,


Senator Teller has one of the prettiest
gardens in the northwest And oh!
what stories the roses could tell there!
The senator's favorite relaxation all sum-
mer is to pay diligent attention to his
flower beds.
Constituents, caucus managers and
other gentlemen who want to whisper
little suggestions in the senator's ear
find him every evening armed with a
hose sprinkler going around among the
flowers, and as they talk they follow
him around from bush to bush. They
might not get all they want, but the
senator has pleasure and relaxation
from his garden work, and boasts the
prettiest kept lawn and flower beds in
his neighborhood.
Senator Evarts has nice garden, but
he does not deserve any special mention
for it. 1t is Mrs. Evarts' particular care
and pride to spend her mornings weed
ing the beds, and when the senator and
herself sit down for their after dinner
talk they set great deal of pleasure
from viewing the bright blossoms all
around the windows. Washington Let
