Dec. 10. 1897.
To the Editor:
I left my home at Bluff Dale, Salt
Lake county, Utah, July 10. 1896, and
after a journey of nearly twenty-seven
hundred miles ] arrived here, where
have labored most of the time.
We found many of the people fenced
in by wall of prejudice which, thanks
to our Father, is gradually giving way
before the rays of truth. We have
been able to reach some of the honest
in heart, and lead five repentant be-
levers into the waters of baptism, and
several others say they Will follow
soon.
Last June while Elder o. o. Crockett
and / were travelling without purse or
scrip through central Massachusetts.
we had the pleasure OF meeting a Mrs.
Mary II. Thompson who said she had
heard so much evil spoken of the Nor
mons that she had been led to think
there must be some good in them.
Our conversation lasted for about
twenty-five minutes. Before leaving

THAT cannot be-" said the mayor of
Chicago. 1T will never be a dead is

as our money. 1t may not be the main
issue, but 1t will certainly be one of the
issues. without there Is radical inn
provement in the times It will sweep

But do you not think the Mckinley

that It will. 1t may be helping the

believe our next great national Dem
ocratic campaign Is going to be one OF
the people against the corporations.
II will be an anti-tariff fight, an anti
trust fight and an anti-corporation
fight. l don't mean to say that the

1t viii he based on the fact that as the
corporations get their rights from the
people and nre supported by the peo-
pie. they should be ruled by the people
and be the servants of the people"
MONEY MAKING IN CHICAGO.
Just one more question. Mr. Mayor.
How about money-making in Chicago?
Are there still fair chances for poor
young men to make fortunes here?"
Yes, but not such opportunities as
In the past, The rapid increases in the
value of real estate have disappeared.
A little money will not suffice to do
great things, as 1t once did. Business
is more In the hands of organized cap

swallow up the smaller fry. Still there
will always be n chance for brains.
muscle and individuality here. Poor
boys are climbing up the ladder Of for

always waiting for the men best fitted
for them. In some respects the newer

advantages for certain classes of
young men, but II seems 10 ME that
Chicago will for years be one of the
best among the money-mal1lug centers
of the United States"

nerve not only to veto the bills of the
boodlers, but also to prevent bills being
passed over his veto. This can only be
done by two-thlrds vote, and the
mayor prevents this by going to the
councilmen and demanding that they
support him. He has in this way
already saved Chicago thousand of dol
lars, and has so acted that the men
who offer and those who take brides
are afraid to attempt such schemes oil
stealing the city's money as have been
boldly carried out in the past
A POLITICAL MASCOT.
And still Mayor Harrison tells me
he Is not IL reformer. He does not be-
lieve in such municipal movements as
have been going on in New York, and
he thinks the political machines we
now have are amply good enough for
good government. He prides himself
ON being Democrat and is ready not
only to help his party here, but other
Democrats all over the Union. Since
he has been mayor he has done a
dozen different things which will give
him friends in any Democratic national
convention. Take the Tennessee Demo-
Gratis, for instance. They will not forget
how. when Governor Tanner refused
to go to the Nashville exposition. say
ing that he could not risk the yellow
fever, young Mayor Harrison stepped
into line and Offset the bad impression
created by the Illinois governor. Louis
vile will not forget that he came there
on the eve of the election to spake for
the Democratic candidate for mayor
nor will Indianapolis, Detroit, Buffalo,
Syracuse or New York. Harrison sup
ported the Democratic candidates for
mayor by speeches in all of these
places, and 1t a singular thing that
in every case his man was elected. He
seems to be a sort of Il mascot in poll
tics. In his own campaign he was
nominated chiefly as being the son of
his father His first speech showed
that he had decided individuality,
and after it. 1t is said, he could have
been elected under any name. He is a
magnetic speaker, and he made from
five to twenty speeches a day during
the thirty days preceding his election.
He carried the people with him. and
was elected by greater majority than
any mayor of Chicago has had.

we gave her a Voice OF Warning, and
1T is the fruit of this little message
that l wish particularly to call to the
attention of your readers.
About six months after our meeting
Mrs. Thompson, we received a letter
and poem from her, which was an
exceedingly agreeable surprise to us.
Since then l have received two letters
from her, in which she recognizes our
relation to the rest of the Christian
world. and is patiently awaiting an
opportunity to be buried in the watery
grave by one of the servants of God.
This is the Letter referred to:
East Brookfleld, oct. 20, 1897.
Mr. Dunyon, Providence. r. L.;
Dear Sir-Last June two Mormon
Elders visited this place. and from
them first learned the doctrines of the
Mormon Church and was struck by
their purity. They were so different
from anything / had heard of the Nor
mons before.
cone of them also gave me little
book called The Voice of Warming
which / prize very much. 1t was by
reading 1t that ] caught the inspra-
ton TO poem which ! send to you,
In the hope that you can make some
use of 1t in your publicGti lions, and that
1t may do some good. You are well
come to 1t and can keep 1t whether you
publish 1t or not, as 1 have another
copy.
After reading the book I had a
great desire to read the Book of Nor
mon, and as you told me to write to
you for other publications, I would
IKE to know II you can furnish the
book and what is the price of it.
Respectfully.
MRS. MARY II. THOMPSON,

nave sent Mrs. Thompson n Book
OF Mormon, at her request, and trust
1t VIII he no less fruitful than was the
Voice OF Warming.
During the last two months we have
been holding meetings in a small hall
here, the rent of which is paid by
the Saints and friends.
The Elders of this conference are all
well and since our conference, which
was held in Cambridge. Nov Goth and
2lst, have been assigned and gone to
their various fields of labor for the
winter.
I have been assigned to labor with
new companion, Elder Samuel Knight.

our field Of labor is Lynn. Mass.
Should any of your readers. having
friends in this vicinity, desire us to
call upon them. we will gladly do SO
on receipt of their name snd address.
Ever laboring and praying for the
spread of truth, and the welfare OF the
human family, we remain your breth-
rem in the Gospel of Christ.

chicago, Dec. 10, 1S97.-A year ago
,a was simply reputable young
business man. He cut no special figure
d the politics of his state. and as a
,a.ional quantity he had no place In
,ha eyes of the Democratic party.
Nav he is the most popular mayor
chicago has ever had. In his six
ronths' term of office he has shown
such strength of character that the
county editors are advocating his
animation as the next Democratic
candidate for the governorship of Illi-
mis-. and Henry Watterson and leading
nemocrats from a dozen different sec
lions have proposed him as the best
residential candidate for the Dem
corocy in the campaign of 1900. 1 re-

Let me tell you something about him,
! nave spent II uay "i'h hihi "t thu
dty hall here, and have had chat with
him about public matters. He is the
most Democratic mayor have
ever met, For an hour this
morning he sat on kind
q a throne I'm what was the state
reception room of the mayors OF the
rast and heard the complaints of the
eople, About fifty persons. women
and men, old and young. black and
white, were in the room. Some were
politicians, some We're not, but all were
lined up by policeman who stood
six feet In his stockings, and each was
given chance at the mayor in his
turn. With pad beside him he took
tote of every case. dlsposing of such
IS he could at the time. and telling
the others that their matters would be
Investigated and that they would get
their answers tomorrow. This he does
every day. He is alike accessible to all
and the politician takes his turn with
the rest. Later on saw him Dispatch
Ing public business in his office. Here
Ne is Just as Democratic. Those who
have important business can always
get at him. and he looks into every
matter relating to the city for himself

who give them should be put in the
penitentlary, and those who do the
bribing should have the longest sem
fences. The men who are bribed have
often the excuse that they are poor, but
the bribers are generally rich men who
corrupt others to add to their wealth."
A NEW SCHEME FOR STREET CAR
FRANCHISES.
How about the giving valuable fran
chlses to corporations for nothlng?"
81 don't believe in it," said Mayor
Harrison. They should be made to
give up a percentage of their earnings
Take the street cars. for instance.
Chicago pays every year more than
$500 600 in street car fares. The fare
is five cents, and the profit is enor-
nous. l would not reduce the fare, for
l think five cents ride is little
enough, and If you cut it down to three
or four cents the strangers profit as
much by 1t as the citizens. / would
make out the franchise so that one cent
of each fare should go into the city
treasury to form n special fund for
keeping up the streets. This would
give the city twenty per cent of the
receipts, and this year we should have
n fund of $3,60000O from this source for
keeping up our streets. / would save
taxation and all charges for street i'm
provements. / don't think It is at all
right for man who has been assessed
once for putting down n pavement in
front of his property to be assessed
again to change 1t. If the pavement
Is changed the city should pay the
bills"
WHY UNCLE SAM SHOULD GIVE
CHICAGO s25.0OO,O0O.
"Wlll Chicago ever be a seaport by
way of the Great Lakes? What do you
think of the scheme of q great ship
canal, which is now proposed, connect
ing all of the lake cities with the sea %
II doubt whether 1t is practical. but
I do think that our drainage canal
should be taken up and paid for by the
government. This is one of the great
engineering works of the age. 1t has
cost us in the neighborhood of $4,000
900, and when completed vessels draw
ing nine or ten feet will sail through
1t into the Illionois river. and on down
into the Mississippi When this canal
is finished all the sewage of Chicago
will flow the other way. 1t Will go
down into the river instead of pollut-
ing our drinking water in the lake. 1t
is a national affair and the government
should pay the whole bill"
THE PRESIDENCY.
by the way, Mr.. Harrison, there is
much talk of you as the possible demo-
cratic candidate for the campaign of
1900. WIN you be candidate for the
nomination.
NO; I am mayor of Chicago and /
have plenty to do without bothering
my head about such reports. Besides.
/ am a friend and supporter of
William ]. Bryan. L believe and hope
that he will be the nominee"
'Then you have no Presidential am
bitions?"
mo; I am not SO foolish as that"
But how about the vice presidency?
The circumstances may make Bryan
and Harrison the best ticket"
II don't think the office of Vice Pres
ident is very desirable one" was the
reply. 81 would rather be mayor OF
Chicago than Vice President of the
United States. Here you can do things
and you have enough work to tax your
best energies. The Vice President is
to great extent a nonentity in the
machinery of the government. He
