Chicago men are! 1t is exhilarating
even at this distance to see the superb
confidence with which they back up
their town Other cities get requests
now and then, but Chicagos rich men

being. If any eastern listener is hold
ing his ear to the ground to catch the
thug of Chicago's collapse, he might

The St. James Gazette Is Not Pleased
Greatly.

London, Nov. 2S.-St. James Gazette
admits that the new tariff bill shows
that Cleveland is prepared to fulfill
his promise and that there is no ques-
