The Illinois Legislature has passed a
bill which. If approved by the voters
of Chicago IN Tuesday, April 2, will put
all of the subordinates in that city gov
eminent on the merit system. A large
delegation of taxpayers were present

urge its passage. 1t was passed in the
Senate by a vote of 81 to Il, all the Re-

The committee on mercantile affairs
of the Massachusetts Legislature, which
made a junket into Virginia to examine
the cotton mills, contained a colored
member, who went with the others. The
Richmond (Va-) press dispatches assert

or's wife was not courteous to rescue

In addressing the grand jury at the
opening of the United States Circuit and
District Court in Utica. N. Y, a few
days age the judge asked the jury to
make a presentment regarding the con-
duct of federal ourts. He deplored the
fact that the police courts of many
cities have better appurtenances and
equipments than the courts of the United
States. He said that during his twelve
years experience on the bench he had
been hoping to see the day when a Con-
gress would assemble which would cease
to treat the courts of the United States
in a ~niggardly manner. His Honor seems
to have been in a state of mind.
