Previous to the adoption of the reSO-
luton Aid. Isaac Ross made a very APP
propriate address on the death of his
brother alderman, and referred in
touching terms to his good qualities. He
spoke as follows:
Mr.. Mayor-The resolution presented
by the committee, for adoption by this
body, well and fully expresses the re-
spect here felt for our deceased brother
and former co-worKer. The commit
tees task, though sad has been lovingly
performed, and in searching for langu-
age TO express the feelings of this body
they had only to examine their own
hearts to find what was shared by all.
The language only of these resolutions
IS the committees; the sentiments
which 1t expresses are ours alike.
Ny acquaintance with tue deceased
| began OF that night when we first en-
tered this council, entrusted with a
duty to perform for this city, and clothed
with authority to act. That he was
faithful to his trust, that he understood
ms full duty, none will ever question.
During the first year that he was In this
council, he and | were thrown closely
together through work that was en-
trusted to committees, of which we
were each member, and | early learned
how serious was his interest, and how
earnestly he endeavored to advance it's
prosperity. The business OF the city
he treated neither with Indifference nor
as pastime, but accorded to it that
close, careful and thorough attention
which he gave to his private affairs.
He was man of strong convictions,
and when once convinced held intlex-
IDLY to his course. He was good
fighter. and like all good fighters he
knew how to give and how to take.
Strong in friendship, he was Incapable
OF deserving a friend
Through the last few months Of his
life, when 1t was all too plain that
the sands Of his life were rushing TO the
end, how brayeiv did he bear up; al
ways cheerful and accompanying, and
H'NSi 4oHiA- Interest III his cherished
plans far the cltE's good.
The resolution of such a life must
not he measured by mere individual
accomplishments, but rather by what
It's example and influence have caused
and made possible for others to per
form
And now as We gaze upon the chair
in which he 50 lately sat. and recall the
manner Of man that filled it, can we
not say that the world Is indeed the
better for his having lived, and that we
are better for having known him? And
shall we not return to duties with a
deeper earnestness for the lesson his
life has brought"
When Mr.. Ross had finished his re-
marks the MAYER directed the clerk 10
call the roll on the resolution, TO which
all the aldermen answered ave" in
sCbdued voices.
The council then adjourned

Farmers are Jubilant. Why 2

ED. TRIBUNE:-While reading the
Chicago Times-Herald the other day
/ came across these words: I'VE are
having abundant rains, and the
farmers are iubilant.n
Now, Mr.. Editor, I began to ask
myself, why are we farmers jubilant !?
Well, ii must be because oats are
selling for l6c per bushel, corn &c,
wheat 50S, hogs 80 per hundred,
creamery butter l4e per pound, and
everything else the farmer produces
is selling in proportion. With these
low prices, after year of drouth and
short crops, l ask, what will be the
prices with year of abundant rains
and big crops2 Don't you think we
farmers ought TO be jubilant?
There are other things we ought to
be jubilant over. One is, that the
United States. the last year, has sent
abroad one hundred and twenty mil
lion dollars in gold to pay for i'm
ported goods. Nearly every dollars
worth Of these goods could have been
manufactured at home, in which
case, in the language of the immor-
tai Lincoln, 1--WE would have had the
goods and the money too But now
our laboring men have no work !;
they earn no money, and cannot pur-
chase the farmers products. / used
to employ two men, paying each $50
per month. / could sell so bushels
Of wheat, or 1000 pounds of hogs,

sell co bushels of wheat, or 1000
pounds of pork, to pay the one man,
at the same rate, while the other fell
low is sitting Mt the corner grocery

about that.
There are several other things
might mention, but perhaps | have
said enough ut this time.

Rather Big Wages.

1T was rather surprising to note in
recent announcement that Judge
Jenkins had allowed each Of the re-
ceiyers of the Northern Pacific rail-
road $4,000 a year and expenses for
his services. This sum would be
enormous 1.-THE three receivers were
required by their duties to spend
their entire time to the exclusion Of
every thing else. But il Is not pre-
sumed that the men who received
this large compensation for sitting
az d board Of directors to u bankrupt
railroad, simply transmitting the
orders Of the court, neglected their
regular business OF profession any
more than the directors Of bank
neglect their business in attending to
their bank duties. Now $4,000 year
is 81 800 IA month, or 500 day, count
ing u working days in a month. If
each of these receivers worked ten
hours a day at Northern Pacliic bus
mess, that would be 81 an hour. sup
posing they belonged TO the eight
hour reform league and refused to
think about Northern Pacific rail-
road business more than eight hours
day, they were paid at the rate ot
$3.50 and hour. As Il matter OF fact
ordinary professional laen ana heads
OF business concerns consider SIX
hours "a day at their desksa fair days
work ON that scale these receivers
received $40 an hour. But the
chances are that the time 81 these
receivers devoted to the railroad
business for which they We're paid,
has not averaged one hour a day
since they were appointed. AT this
rate they have been paid $50 an hour
or 81 a minute. How much that
would be Il breath could easily be
figured if we knew their normal re-

any wonder that people raise the cry

foregoing article taken from the

Of Mr.. Payne's example, il must be
admitted that the estimate Of $50 an
hour as the compensation of these
receivers is none To high. JUDGE
jenkins, who allowed this outrageous
pay, is the same imperous Z. =.

ployes Of the Northern Pacific rail
