WHEN la grippe became epidemic
in this country three years ago there
were many medical men and others
who wrote learnedly about the dis
ease as one that had never before
been known in this country They
traced it to Russia. and went to Rus
sian and French authorities for rene
dies, where they did not make entire
ly new discoveries for themselves.
But here again was illustrated the
force of Napoleon's observation that
nothing is new but what has been
forgotten. In an old copy Of the
Salem Mass Observer, printed June
"a, lS43, or just FIFTY years ago is to
be found this paragraph: "The in
fluenza or la grippe is getting to be
very prevalent in Philadelphia. A
correspondent of the Spirit of the
Times, writing from New York and
speaking of che influenza, says; We

New Directory Gives
Some Astonish-
ing Facts.

From advance information relative
to the forthcoming City Directory,
Chicago is now the metropolis of
America, having a population of not
less than 100000 more than New
York, The directory for 1893, it is
announced, will contain 1880 pages,
with fully $40, 600 names, ltis com
monty estimated that the names in Il
directory bear the ratio of to 4 to
the total population. This would
give Chicago 2,160, COO inhabitants,
which the compilers Of the directory
think a tolerably fair estimate. The
growth Of the city in the last year
has been remarkable, and it is said
that the number Of transents is Rows
much smaller, compared with the
gross number Of people in tho city
limits, than ever before. 1T IS
thought from present indications
that on the basis Of the new direeto-
ries for Chicago, New York, and
Philadelphia, Chicago will lead the
one Eastern city by SOC, 600. and the
other by ,000,0 600
This fact has long been suspected
So wonderful has been the growth
Of Chicago that in three years it has
almost doubled its population.
By 1900 il will be easily the second
largest city in the world,

Eight judges are to be added TO
the Cook County bench this fall.
Governor Altgeld has signed the bill
passed by the Legislature for the adj
ditional six, and as there were two

Der to be chosen is eight. Some of
the daily newspapers appear to be

will be chosen.
There is no just ground for any
such feeling of apprehension.

til Nmber of pure and upright
nS at the bar who deserve
p |tion a feeling Of regret arises
Il the fact that there are not more
lancies to fill. 1t is a curious fact
Ufiat the greatest Judges we have
ever had upon the Cook County
bench were the product of party
conventions and the result Of straight
party nominations.
The poorest Judges that we have
were named at bar primaries, an
a1omination which played itself out
the very force of its utter useless

the bench were the outcome of non
Aartisan movements, and it is an un-
eontradictable fact that if it was not
for the lazness of some of the mon
partisan" Judges there would not
be the need for an increase in
the judiciary which now exists.
A. number of great lawyers are
talked Of On the Democratic
side, among others, are Mr.. Z. Nc
Hugh, whose reputation at the bar
has been a grand one for over twenty
years; Mr. NJ. j. Dunno, whose record
as lawyer and as man is beyond

And Now It Runs an Un-

Hindrance,
And Yet Its Bosses HoIIsr Against
Anarchy" and Demand Sun
day Fair Closing,

Having voted at the spring election
in Chicago and stood off the ballots
of Chicago citizens and taxpayers at
the POLLS, the three hundred students
who attend the Mccormick Theo-
logical Seminary on the North Side
went to their country homes early
this year
Possibly their departure was hur-
ricd, in order that the faculty might
have a chance to rent out rooms in
their dormitory and in the college
building to Worlds Fair boarders
Not satisfied with beating the peo-
pie out of the lawful taxes due upon
$50 residences, the association deter
mined to go into the hotel business.
That is why the college buildings
are occupied by over 400 boarders to-
day at rates SO cheap that no hotel
can compete with them.
OF course the Presbyterian Real
Estate Association can afford to run
a cheap hotel
They pay no taxes
Other hotels do.
They now run one hotel with over
400 guests. and rent out $50 resi-
dences besides,
On which, in defiance of law, they
pay no taxes.
The three blocks OF residence prop
erty extending from Dayton street to
Sheffield avenue and from Belden
avenue to Fullerton avenue, on the
North Side, are not taxed to the ex-
tent Of one dollar.
This in defiance of all law.
The three blocks referred to are
covered with magnificent residences,
every one of which is rented, the in
come from eacn being from S85 to
5000 per month.
And yet these houses pay no taxes.
They claim exemption because the
title to them is in the trustees Of the
Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
The Seminary is located on the
block bounded by Dayton and Halsted
streets, Belden and Fullerton avenues.
Under the law, the Seminary itself
and the residences Of the professors
on the same block are exempt.
But the law expressly provides that
property belonging TO such institu-
tions, used for profit, must be taxed.
In defiance OF this law, three
blocks, or fifteen acres, lying west Of
the one block, or five acres, on which
the Sem mary is located, go scot free,
and lhe grand residences erected
thereon pay no taxes at all.
The poor people Of the city are
taxed to the limit.
This year, the State Board OF
Equalization will add 90 per cent.
more TO their burdcnsOme load. And
all this time this Presbyterian steal
will continue.
Is this property lawfully exempt?
It Is not

Mr.. Ben Cables crowd on the State
Central Committee had better be a
little careful before they try their
high handed scheme for the election
of delegates TO the State convention
next spring. This coterie wants tc
elect delegates under authority of the
State Committee by Congressional
districts. 1t cannot be done without
disrupting the Democratic party
Article III. of the Constitution o.
the Democratic party of Cook Coun
ty reads as follows:
"The Democratic Central Commit
tee of Cook County shall have ful
power to call all conventions for th'
nomination of Democratic candidate
for all offices to be filed within th'
territorial limits of Cook County
and for the election Of delegdtes 3
state c0nrentions. So that ther
will be two sets of delegate
from Cook County if the stat
Committee adopts the revolution
airy course suggested by the Cable
ties. And if the regulars are throw
cut at the suggestion of the Stal
Committee the Cook County Ccntra
Committee will run the campaign il
Cook County anyway. So the attemp
! to interfere with home rule in Chi
cago might as well be abandoned.

County Clerk had twelve years ago.

Local Democrats are becoming very
weary over the delay in filing the
Federal offices in Chicago. President
Cleveland, it is claimed, has been
subjected to the undue influence of
outsiders who seem to know nothing
and care less for the preferences Of
the local Democrats.
"The delay in the appointment of

Revenue, a prominent Democrat said
yesterday, may be charged to Ben
Cable and his coterie. Mr.. Cable has
assumed to parcel out every Federal
Office in Chicago among his fayorites

gressmen or citizens Of Chicago

sisting that himself an1 not Mr..
Durborow, Mr.. McGann, or even Sen
ator Palmer should have voice in
The appointment. His fight for Mr..
Spangler against the local preference
for Mr.. Twohig has convinced Chi
cago Democrats that Mr.. Cable is
not near so good a friend OF Chicago
Democracy as he pretends to be, and
if he hopes by such selfish methods to
strengthen his alleged candidacy for
the United States Senatorship, he
will find himself nightly mistaken
! tell you the Democrats OF this city
are growing restive under such as
sumption of bossism, and if it is
recognized at Washington the effect
will be discouraging for future DEM

The probabilities are that in or

in which Cables arrogant spirit OF
dictation has placed him President
Cleveland may ignore both Mr.. Ca
