TAYLOR AND VICTORY.

South Silo Republicans win RenOmnate
the Able Congressman.
The wisest and most conservative
Republicans in the First District favor
the denomination of Congressman
Abner TAYLOR. He has proven himself
to be a faithful servant Of the people
during his term of service at Washing
ton, and has shown great ability upon
every occasion when the interests Of
his district, or of the merchants, man
ufacturers and workingmen of Chicago
were at stake.
In the great tariff debate he was a
conspicuous figure, battling manfully
for the rights Of the people Of the
great city with which he has been
identified for so many years. Al
though oyerriden and oyerruled by "a
majority on several points, he made a
great battle, and showed the vim and
yigor with which he always fights for
hi, constituents.
Mr. Taylor has been no wooden man

The booksellers are frank in their
statements of their intentions. They
opened up their rooms, they say, with
the idea Of keeping them open, and
they seem to know what they are talk
ing about.
There came near being an internal
row a short time ago over the posting
of the West Side and Washington Park
races in the local pool-rooms. The
track people said If the local races
were posted in town there would be
trouble. The pool-room sharks were
all right with the administration, but
knowing quite well that they
were doing contraband business
they did not care to go into a fight
with two organizations that were in
terested in keeping them off their
premises, so they agreed not to post
any local races. AS it is, people who
wish to back the horses that run here
must go to the tracks to do 50. The
pool-rooms are content to write the
Eastern and Southern races. They
furnish a handsome income to about q
half-dozen houses, and as the institu-
tions now running have a monopoly on
the right to run, it is easy to see what
a soft snap they have.
At the West Side track, Joe TIL
man. who tried to operate in town, has
a blackboard where he plays the East
ern and Southern races.
Ullman, like Palmer, is a recent i'm
portation. That class of men seem to
be preferred in Chicago to those who
belong here, and it makes the sports
mad to think this is so. One of the
old-timers tried to run q room here
but he was not allowed to continue
He would not bow to the trust and
stand the assessments. Therefore he
was not wanted.
Some men have been foolish enough
to think that they had the same rights
as other citizens and strangers, but
they learned differently when they
have tried to run a pool-room.
The Prince of Monaco knows it is
morally wrong to gamble openly. But
he needs money to clothe his royal
hide and enjoy his blue-blooded self,
so he shamelessly sells himself to the
gamblers. The Prince of Chicago
knows it is morally and legally wrong
to allow wholesale, open pool-selling
But we'll let him answer why be

barefaced robbery to thrive

Lack Of Confidence in the City

able Cause.

The city of Chicago is unable to dis
pose of its bondsj
What humiliating state of affairs
this is.
Yet it is true.
The city administration advertised
for bids for the purchase of bonds, is
sued in place of others, amounting to
$943, 800, which fell due July 1.
The advertisement, which was
spread far and wide, did not evoke a
single response.
Think of it.
That is the result of having a bad
city government.
The city cannot sell its bonds.
In his annual report to. the City
Council April IA last, His Whiskers
made the following remarks
"Bonds to the amount Of S9l3, 800
will fall due July next. This honor
able body has already authorized the
renewal of these bonds, and the reis-
suance of new bonds of like amount,
1Chjch / confidently erpect UU be
negotiated at 81 per cent. interest or
less, thus saving at least S32, 600 per
annum.
They were not negotiated When
the time set for the reception Of bids
expired it was found that not a single
bid had been received.

cago credit is no good

WILLIS WILL WIN.

Check Book George ON the Run in the
Fourth District.
There is scarcely any doubt about
the nomination of the Hon. George S.
Willis for Congress by the Fourth
District Republicans. Mr. Willis has
made a splendid canvass, and has
deported himself throughout like
high-minded gentleman. He has not
stopped to the use of money to secure
a nomination, and has the satisfaction
of knowing that the very best element
in the district has been behind him
from the start 1t is doubtful wheth-
er, if nominated, Adams could carry
the district against strong Democrat.
His majority has grown less every time
he has been n candidate, and there il
much anxiety among Republicans as
to the result if he should by his pc
culiar" tactics gain a denomination.
The canvass for the nomination is
red hot. Mr.. Adams is working like
beaver" as his friends express it,
and there is no question that he is
spending money freely. There was
large meeting at his residence the
other evening, when plan of cam
paign was mapped out. Several bail
ifs, number of census enumerators j.,
and other political friends were on
hand, and of course made encouraging
reports. There was much rejoicing
over the fact that a prominent Repub-
lican official Of the Twentieth Ward,
hitherto classed as supporter of Mr..
Willis, was present He was I'm
duced' to change his allegiance only a
few days ago That banner hoodoo,
eX-Ald Keck Of Lake View, has also
come out for Mr. Adams, but his col
league in the last Council, ex-Ald.
Chapman, is strong Willis man.
Mr. Bonnefoi, the Postmaster Mt Lake
View, who has charge of the campaign
in that district, admits that things do
not look favorable to Mr. Adams. and
Mr.. Keck is disposed to think that the
'twenty-ffth Ward will send Willis
delegation The Twenty-sixth Ward
certainly will.
The Adams people have opened
new headquarters in a saloon of the
Twenty-second Ward, and are sparing
no expense to get delegation from
that district They rely mainly on the
influence of c. II. Corbin and A. NJ.
Pence Ex-Alderman Burmeister. ex-
Alderman Burke and the active men
of the ward are strong Willis men,
however. In the Twenty-frst ward
the Willis men are strong; also in
Evanston.
The indications are that Mr. Willis
will have little trouble in securing the
nomination He is making quiet and
thorough canvass Of the district. His
urbane and courteous manners, fine
presence and good address make
friends for him everywhere. The Re-
publicans Of the district think it is
time for Mr.. Adams to let go. He has
had the district eight years, they say,
and that Is long enough

One end of the road is a happy
home. The other end cold marble
slab.
Along the route lie the horrible de-
tails for which the poolselling frater
nifty is responsible.
But are the booksellers responsible
for this?
Wise men and fools say no.
The pool-room people have no more
right to rob the innocent than the sand
Dagger has.
The people say no.
The laws say no, and yet they con
tinue to do it.
They do not do it behind closed
doors, or in secret ways. but they do it
openly.
At 256 Clark street the front and
rear door of the Imperial Building is
wide open, and from morning till night
there goes in and out constant stream
of clerks, business men, thieves, and
scoundrels of every description.
The statute law and the municipal
law say this shall not be permitted
any more than robbery of some other
species.
In the place itself is about 100
feet of blackboard, where are marked
the races to be run in the East and
South, and in front of the board stand
loud voiced men ready to take the
small bets that are offered.
The place is run by Sam Dahl and
"Sheeney" Palmer
How comes it that these men, known
so well to the police, are permit
ted to rob the people daily against the
law?
1t is not necessary to state. Any
one can guess the answer.
They know where the City Hall lies,
and they know how to get into it.
The people thought they were
protecting themselves against these
hells when they made laws and
prescribed heavy penalties. They
thought they only need put an admin
istrator in power who could read his
duty as laid down by the law The
rest was simple enough.
With an army of police and regi.
ments of trained soldiers at his back
our Mayor is afraid to read the law tc
these robbers and law breakers.
Is it fear that keeps him back?
Certainly it is not the fear Of the
wrath Of law-abiding citizens. If il
were he would shake every whisker OF
his face
The people have encouraged him in
every way possible to close these in
fepal pool-rooms,

The Mayor, Police, and Authcri-
ties Generally Must Have

The attacks of THE EAGLE upon the
pool-rooms has been productive of one
good result at least.
The notorious Joe Ullman has been
forced to give up his room on South
Clark street and to content himself
with skinning the unwary at the equal

The police, however, deserve no
credit for driving this fellow out of

They simply wink at the pool-rooms,
and McHie, "Sheeney" Palmer, Jack"
Shepard and the rest of the gang are

immature youth about town.
The booksellers say that Whiskers
does not intend to pay any attention
10 tnelr business.
Has Whiskers got binders on?
Let us hear.
The statutes of Illinois are very
severe on this fearful evil, and vet the
Mayor does nothing toward enforcing
them.
1t has long been fiction of gam
bling literature that Monaco is the
great gambling center of the world.
Around this fiction men and women
with vivid imaginations have woven in
teresting romances and tragedies that
have made the civilized world shudder
A great deal of truth has been told
of the woes of Monaco, and even when
tle coloring and embellishments have
been moderate, the tales have been
truly sad when seen from this dis
tance.
But Monaco is provincial gambling
hell compared to Chicago.
There are no royal scapegoats to bel
stacks of chips on the red or black

The meeting that took place on Friday night at
Wizards Hotel was enthusiastic enough to give
this assurance, as the leading hackers of the
club say now that nothing stands in the way of
absolute success. Already twenty-five out of
the forty shares of stock have been taken by
gentlemen who desire to see the sport fostered,
and the remaining fifteen are sure to be grabbed
up this week The shares are placed at $500,
and no one person can hold more than one
share; thus placing the control of the club
under the management of forty people, rather
than in the power of few. The election of DR..
c. NJ. B. Harris as temporary chairman and
treasurer shows that the gentlemen who are
interested in the affair are in earnest. The
next meeting of the club will take place on
Friday evening at the Kellogg Building, when a
permanent organization will be formed.
Among some of the men interested in the club
are Messrs. Justin Mccarthy, Edwin Suther-
land, John j. Hogan, Michael Scanlon, Robert
Harris r. NJ. Drinkard, Samuel Trott, Henry
B. Bennett, DR.. g. NJ. B. Harris, and c. A.
Beres. Mr.. Scanlon says there is every reason
to hope that the strongest and best ball team
ever seen in Washington will represent the city
next year. "The question of grounds has not
yet been settled" says Mr. Scanlon, as all the
street railways are Offering inducements for the
club to locate on their lines. Every site will
receive due consideration and no selection will
be made until every inducement has been well
considered

Now that the athletic season is virtually at an
end, the Christmas Day affair alone remaining,
1t is time that our clubs turned their attention
to the season of 1891 and mapped out pro-
gramme. The National Amateur Rowing As
sociation has given Washington the option on
the regatta and the clubs should take some
forward step in the matter. The rowing inter
est OF the National Capital has tagged for two
years, owing to disagreements between the
clubs, but now that the element that caused the
trouble has left the Potomacs and joined the
c. A. c., there is no valid reason why the clubs
should remain at loggerheads any longer. The
Analostan Club has stood for years in the posi-
tion OF peacemaker. They are ready and eager
to go ahead with the regatta. Secretary w.
Howard Gibson, of the n. A. A. Essays the As
sociation is very eager to come to Washington
and he hopes some action will be taken The
Columbas hold meeting on Wednesday, and
1t is to be hoped they will take some action in
the matter.
The Potomac Athletic members are enjoying
their clubhouse. The rooms are nightly
crowded with the members and their friends.
The membership is rapidly increasing and the
club seems to be entering on new era of pros
perity. The governors are now fitting up the
upper story of the building for q gymnasium,
and expect to have fortnightly athletic exhibit
tions, to which the members only are to be
admitted. 1t is noticeable that the red and
whiH button of the club is becoming more
prominent on the coats of our promenaders.
II VIII oe remembered tnat AT the n. y. I.
meeting in Washington the rivalry between the
Manhattans and New York Athletic Clubs was
bitter, and each club entered protests against
the contestants from the other club. 1t is
given out now that the two clubs have recon-
ciled their differences and the several protests
will be will withdrawn and the status of
Mitchell, Queckberner, COPELAND, Sullivan,
Nickerson and Others will remain as before.
For the sake of honest sports, it is to be hoped
the Amateur Union will refuse to allow the
clubs to withdraw the protests and will proceed
to investigate the men.

Our Home Market.

The question is often asked, "Where did all
the people come from, and where are they all
going?" Did you ever wonder how all of the
people in a large city like ours were fed how
the dainty appetites were satisfied, and where
the satisfaction OF many kinds came from? II
would take volumes to tell, but by visiting the
"Home Market" S1S Fourteenth street north
west, you can have it fully demonstrated, as
we'll as having the details impaired to you by
Mr.. b. ?. Watrous, the popular and congenial
proprietor On entering the ''Home Market" at

all parts of the globe at one time, as you are
literally surrounded by fruit, vegetables, game,
and meats of every description, and from all
parts of the country. 1t is needless to say that
the delicacies of the season can always be OBJ
tanned there. corps of polite and competent

the finest private market in the city.
