CHAT OF TIE CORRIDORS.

everybody but the man who sells the liquor.
An illustration has been given in this city
Some time after the war tho German Turner'S
Of this city bought tract Of Wild land on the
hills northeast OF tho city, and in the neigh
borfood Of the Soldiers Home. They fitted
this up as q Schuctacn Park, with an elegant
clubro0m, with charmingly -awanEci grounds
Open air concerts were given on these in
pleasant weather, where beor aud Rhine wines
were dispensed, and the place became one Of
the most popular resorts In the city. Bat
though the city grow rapidly in population,
aud the hills an around ID were ornamented
with elegant residences the improvements in
the vicinity Of the Schuetzen Park were con-
HpicuousIy inferior, and few went there who
were not compelled by poverty TO make their
homes in the less desirable sections. The oper-
alton OF the law prohibiting the sale Of liquor
within one mile OF the soldiers Home ruined
the business Of the Seduction Park, real estate
iu the vicinity took a big upward jump, the
EchuetzenyerciR sold out the Park to a syndi-
cate for 100000 cash, which was a splendid
return on the investment, and ID is expected
that that section viii soon be made as beautiful
and desirable as other parts Of the city. The
schucizcnvercin viii not try to establish an
other park, but Will build an elegant ball in the
city.

matter that reaches him. Particularly is this
true Of pension cases appealed 10 him. Before
deciding he makes himself thoroughly familiar
with every point in the case and the law bear
ing upon it. So carefully has he studied the
law thai Ia several important decisions, which
have ali been IN the direction Of greater liber-
ality 10 the veterans and have consequently
been savaEely attacked by the soldier hating

William ID Bynum OF Indiana, has strong
hopes of himself Tor the Spealzorship He
talked freely about The prospects, and says
there are really but five candidates for the
place Mills OF Texas; McMillin, Of Teunes-
see Crisp, o. Georgia. Springer, Of Illinois,
and himself There is some talk Of Hatch, Of
Missouri but lac does not think this amounts 10
anything. Mr.. Bvuum has the solid Indiana
delegation behind him, and In tAc event Of the
development Of q strong public sentiment
against giving tho speallership 10 the South,
which Mr. Bynum thinks likely, his chances
for the place are regarded as the best. lie also
thinks that the next Speaker will have no
picnic in his position, since with the trench
dous majority tho Democrats have it VIII be
meuts aud keep the organ .z4tion working
smoothly. Mach more Legislation will be de-
mGudcd than can be had, and consequently
there viii be disappointment aud irritation.
On every important committee there viii be
Southern men who will demand Chairman
ships, and this is going to make trouble for al
the candidates, who win have 10 recognize
their claims IN securing support.

War Department with the duty Of investigat-
