The fall of Eugene V. Debs, the Ma
poleonic president of the American
Railway union. has made a number of
western politicians feel very comfort
able, although they pretend to deplore
his fate. / am in possession of reliable
information to the effect that Debs had
his eye on the presidency. Had he
won the great boycott against the Pull
man company and the railroad com
panies of the country, his pet scheme of
uniting the different organizations of
railway employees into one grand body
would un9uestionably have been sue
cessful. Whatever may be his faults,
as an organizet Debs has had no rival.
AS the head of compact body EN-
bracing nearly one million men he
could have commanded the support of
the Knights of Labor, the American
Federation of Labor and other unions.
During the past year he made over
lures to various farmers organizations
which were received with more than
kindness He knew that political
movements are Of slow growth, yet
felt confident that BY 1900 the forces
organized under his supervision would
be strong enough to cut quite figure
IN national politics; and entertained a
strong hope of being elected president
of the United States Another ambi-
ton Debs nursed was his election 10
the United States senate by the legis-
lature of Indiana The rural districts
OF the Hoosier state are harvest field

advocating liberal coinage laws, free
trade and government ownership or
control of railroads would find thou
sands Of supporters. Debs was MEM
Der Of the Indiana legislature when he
was but twenty-six years Of age;
and his speech in advocacy OF
Daniel Voorhees, claims TO the
senatorship gave him considerable
prominence as an orator. Since that
time he has managed to keep himself
conspicuously before the public; and
veteran politicians were inclined to
take his elevation 10 the senatOrship
seriously until the federal grand jury
u Chicago indicted him on charges Of
conspiracy and interfering with inter
state commerce il Is too early 60 pre-
dict what effect his present troubles
may have on his political prospect5-

That Chicago is a unique city has
never been disputed. Its city officials
do many queer things. Some remind
one OF the miSdeeds of Tammany;
others bear close resemblance TO the
actions of the honorable, the town
council of Podunk. One of the funniest
incidents of munici3 al disagreement
came to light when the chief smoke in
spector addressed a spirited communi-
cation to the board of education re-
questing the latter body TO abate the
smoke nuisance forthwith. For several
years the smoke inspector has prose
cuted factory owners and others who
failed TO provide their furnaces with
smoke consumers. Quite a number OF
these persons were fined heavily; but
at the same time the chimneys of two
hundred schoolhouseS belched forth
black clouds of poisonous smoke and
gases in the residence districts of the
city. The smoke inspector endured
the protests of angry citizens as long
as he could. and then sent this now IA
nous letter to the board of education.
He points out the inconsistency and in
justice Oh the c1ISI1EU COEClIlon OL
things and remarks, with considerable
force, that as long as one department
of the municipal government deties the
regulations passed by the law-making
branch. the smoke ordinance must re-
main a dead letter. Then he proceeds
to state that unless the board of educa-
ton adopts reformatory measures, he
will enter suit against each one of the
offending schools. This would mea
that the city would prosecute itself for
violating its own laws. 1t is doubtful
If a more amusing condition could ne
evolved by comic opera hbrettist;
but it is only fair TO state that the peo-
pie of Chicago enjoy the prospects Of
legal squabble of the Killarney cat
variety full as much as outsiders. The
difference in the cost between blum
inous and anthracite coal would amount
to twenty thousand dollaas a year, and
to save this paltry sum the board of

objects of social discrimination that
was the sensation of the week wherever
the -Four Hundred OF the metropolis
while away the ardors of summer.
1t seems that at Newport the name
of Pullman is not in favor This is
stated TO be the result of the social tri-
umphs of the Pullman girls in Vienna
not long ago, they having secured an
entry into the most exclusive circles Of
that gay capital after the efforts of the
HZnagas, the StenenseS, the Wetmores
AID others had failed. This success
was attributed by the enyious TO the
princely prodigality with which George
NJ. Pullman launched the members Of
his family on the ocean of society
abroad. They spent money like water
and won the day.
For long time the fashionabIes of
New York have wished to revenge the
prestige of the Pullman young ladies',
but, to their chagrin, they had no op-
portunity. They We're even obliged to
receive the Pullmans, as George VI. only
advances those individuals TO posi-
ton in his company who have social
influence and can thus further the am
billions of his daughters. But when the
strike came and the details connected
with it showed apparent distress
among the inha bitants of the town OF
Pullman scheme of cruel revenge was
concocted. A young woman of New
York whose father is known from one
end of the republic to the other started
a subscription for the relief of the des-
titute' in Pullman. All the fashion
ables who were in the clique subscribed
literally, and quite a sum was thus Sc
cuyed. One member of the Union club
is said to have given a sum that ran
into three figures.
Meanwhile the Misses Pullman could
not be reached by any ordinary means
OF communication, and as it was the
intention OF the cOnspirators that they
should be informed of the attack upon
them the plan was suggested of send
ing request to George NJ. Pullman
himself to subscribe, the Request
to be accompanied by the names Of
those who had already given money to
the fund. This was done. but no an
swer was received, either because the
magnate did not receive the letter or
because he Thought it best not to no.
tice it. But the list OF names included
those of persons at whose house the
Pullmans have received social cour-
tesies.
More hostilities were planned than
even this, however. The Pullman girls
are to he socially ostracised this win
ter, and those New York young ladies
who have been enabled to cut no figure
at all in social affairs because their for
tunes cannot compare with the wealth
of the palace car makers daughters are
repeating with glee that they do not
care to enjoy Inequalities that are
wrung out of the wages of Pullman
rent-payers. At Newport this season the
name of Pullman is below par, and in
New York this winter their social am
billions will be nipped in the bud.
Thus has it transpired that the Pull
man strikers in resisting their employ
er have brought about the leading SEN
satiOn of New Yori's Four Hundred.
and those who recall the prodigal ex-
penditures of the Pullman girls in max
ing q position for themselves are won

poor New Yorker and the gamin and

seem so unha bituated to metropolitan
experience as to stare at anything
fashionable. It is one of the unviolated

thing out of the way in the dress OF
equipage of the socially powerful.
The New York proletarian would
scorn such a thing as staring at q

she might happen to show herself. In
this respect the New York mob is
above the London one, and even that
of other American cities.
