MORE SALARY ron ALDERMEN.

\ lot Of the cheap loafers whom the
people OF the city Of Chicago have sent
to the City Council have gotten them
selves together for the purpose Of petl.
tlOning the Legislature for needed lcgis'
latiOn.
And what kind OF legislation Is It that
these fellows ask for!
IL It for legislation Oh the department
store curse!
Ii 1t legislation that will make the
burdens OF the taxpayers lighter?
Ii 1t for legislation that will benefit
the people generally!
Not much.
The Chicago Aldermen have appoint
ell committee to visit Springfield for
the purpose OF securing an increase In
.Aldermanic salaries!
And Of course the people will think
that they are smart men because they
have done such smart thing.
The people OF Chicago deserve oil
that they get from such Common
Council, and more too.
They alone are to blame for the cleo
ton of such scalawags to office.

Gil, No. ~. and sister councils Of the
National Union. Mr.. Mason was the

rift Starr. He was In one Of Ills happi-
est moods and held the deepest atten-
ton Of the audience.
Speaking Of the immortal words of
the dead President, Government by

RAISE the FiREMEN'S PAY.

Our brave firemen should have their
salaries raised.
Their compensation ut present IL en-
tirely too small for the work they do
and the risk they run.
Every pipeman should he paid mt least
81 300 per annum and the officers should
he raised In proportion.
But do our aldermen intend to raise
them!
No. because there is not enough In 1t
for the aldermen.
They are at present engaged In an
effort to have their own salaries raised,
however. and have appointed commit
tee OF tougEs to push the thing along at
Springfield.

CARD FROM JUDGE WHITAKER

To the Editor: AS l am sure you do
not intend to be guilty of injustice, beg
to call your attention to the following
gross inaccuracies i'm your report of my
remarks before the House Judiciary
committee yesterday:
Next Judge Whitaker arose and said
that he had not appeared for many rail
roads as he was high priced lawyer,
but that the A. G. L., had employed him,
but that he had not had time to careful
ly prepare himself"
ns1aSSIat. ->tl laifionr cvrpdrartons ITO employ
only the alblest counsel, / rarely was
employed by them and could not be class
ed as a railroad lawyer. That appeared
now as the counsel of the Atlantic Coast
Line in this matter only and that if had
any prejudice at all as to railroad cor
porations it was against them.
/ further said that the agitation of the
question of free passes, the North Caro-
lint lease, and other matters connected
with railroad corporations had / was a.
fraid created such deep prejudice a.
gainst railroad corporations that many
people were unable to deal fairly and
justly with them.
1t was only in reply to some remark
of Capt. Day while / was addressing the
committee that said that when l was
a member of the Legislature years ago
| was given and used free pass. / did
not say that was a high priced lawyer
nor is it true that am. / did not say
that had not had time to carefully pre-
pare myself. Tt may be that your re-
porter thought / had not prepared my
self ON account of my poor speech, but
did not say so.
Thanking You beforehand for making
this correction and thereby doing me
simple justice, am,
Yours &C.,

Winston. n. c., Feb. 6.-(SpeciaD-
Tho Chamber of Commerce here, at a
largely attended meeting last night, pass
"a resolutions with but three dissenting
.4os recommending annulment of the
railroad lease. Such well known citi-
zens as r. J. Reynolds, John w. Hanes'
n n. Gray, A. Fl. Eller, E. b. jones'
and others, spoke strongly against the
lease. The three dissenting votes were
cast by Messrs. Fl. e. Fries, w. A. Blair
and G. w. Hinshaw. Feeling here
against the lease is intense and almost
unanimous.
The following are the resolutions
adopted:
"Whereas, We believe that the recent
lease of the North Carolina Railroad to
the Southern Railway Company is great
ly detrimental to the best interests of
the State. as a whole, and that the Gen
eral Assembly of North Carolina, now
in session, should do all in its power to
annul the lease heretofore made.
Be it resolved, by the Chamber of Com
merce, merchants and trades unions.
Tobacco Board of Trade, and other cit
izens of the city of Winston, in meeting
assembled, that we do hereby request and
strongly urge our Representatives and
all other members of the General As

cancellation Of said lease.
Resolved, further, That a copy of these
resolutions be transmitted to our repre-
sentatives in the General Assembly at

TALMAGE AS A WORD ARTOsT.'

Rev. DIR. Gregg, of Brooklyn, n. y,
in his installation sermon in Washing
ton, October %, 1896, took occasion to
say:
"As have seen DR.. Talmage from the
pew, / wish to say that | consider him
the greatest word painter on any conti-
tent of earth. He paints for Jesus
Chirts. He thinks in pictures; and he
who thinks in pictures thinks vividly. He
paints with large brush, and with
colors that burn and glow, and nations
gather around his pictures and feel an
up-lift and holy thrill.
There is one thing which DIR. Tai
mage is able to use beyond any man |
have ever heard speak, and that is the
rhetorical pause. He makes his sermons
vivid and impressive with the flash of a
golden silence. Having rounded his
period and finished his point, stops until
the hush of heaven fills the house and
until bis audience has felt the nearness
Of the God of truth, and has heard the
still small voice of His Spirit"
We wish to remind you that he will
deliver his new lecture in the Metro
politan Opera House ON February 10Th.
