"Govcrnor Morton went to Paris by

not known to a half dozen people. As the
appointmentwas made through the war de-

partmentt and Secretary Stanton informed
Governor Morton that no written reports
would be expected, and do not believe
any wero made. While Morton was in
Paris Bigelow suspected the character of
his mission, and treated him with scant
courtesy, which fact was noted and COM
mented upon by the American colony then

Can This Be True?

IL is refreshing TO see Il great American
city with so high an Ideal as Chicago in
the matter of education. Boston also
goes in for culture, but she has the advan-
taeg of being an annex Ia Harvard Univer-
sity and has the love of learning in the
blood. But the passion of Chicago for the
higher culture is comparatively new. and
it is real and earnest. We louk for great
things from the Windy City. Her ideas are
as broad a S the prairies which form her base
and her head is as clear as the sky above
Lake Michigan. Her merchant princes and
her great business men are munificent and
do not live for themselves alone, but for
Chicago. SpleDdidly opulent, ma gnifi-
Gently generous, filled with the instinct of
progress, is the great inland capital Of the
United States. From newsbuy to great
merchant, every Chicagoan lives, breathes,
and dies for his city. 1t is the most inspir-
ing example of civic patriotism in the world.

the progress of all mankind. She may be
