Introducing Himself.

An English traveller coming to
Tabriz, town near the boundary
between Persia and Georgia, had
great difficulty in finding lodging
for the night. A German merchant
of the place eamo to his help with
happy result. After a good deal of
doubt and delay on the subject, 1t
was finally settled. toward evening,
that we should take up our abode
with HISTORIAN Christian who had
been employed as dragoman by sew
eral embassies going to Teheran,
and who was said to speak English.
We were greatly amused by our
future hosts manner of introducing
himself.

Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs Of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
of knowledge of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as a money
of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned judge, skilled
lawyer, or court of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins.
ter justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-half, and beggared millions.
There is no authority of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
Nth which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it so is unconstitutional and a
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, facts
and truth, concerning this almost sue
cessful scheme to corner the wealth
of the people, is now being printed
IN the Cincinnati Enquirer, news
paper which the combined power of
money has failed to muzzle or buy.

Local interest in the cricket games
as reflected from the "bleachers" is in
creasing. During Saturdays games
the 'bleachers" were particularly vo-
ciferous and kept the players under a
running fire of good natured banter.
One small boy brought down the
crowd by advising the batsman to Ego
buy case of Rainier Beer and get
some life in YOU" The crowd applaud
ed the remark, knowing that Rainier
Beer is celebrated for it's invigorating
and strengthening propensities.

TWO TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC MONEY.

1t Is impossible to avoid making com
PARSONS between the expenditures of
the school board for 1897 and the cost
of the library building.
For two years the school board has
been cramped for funds. Long before
the crisis came The Eagle warned the
board that II must reduce its expendi-
lures. The warnings passed unheeded
and apparently as little attention has
been paid to the lessons OF experience.
For, after all the scandal and the furi-
Gus discussions Of finance, we find the
board, not retrenching, but actually In
creasing expenses $116,655 for the year
1897.
The building Of the library involved
great expenditure Of money and
seemed to invite the forms of jObbery
that the people associate with public
contracts. But instead of exceeding
the estimates and mulcting the taxpay-
err for huge "eXtras" the library board,
by prudence and strict attention to de-
tails, has managed to bring Its bills
well within the first figures. The esti-
mated cost Of the building was ST.

About 200 conductors, mOtOrmcn and
gripmen Of the Chicago City Railway
held meeting late Saturday night In
Coffey's Hall, cd and Halsted streets.
The object Of the meeting. as stated
by the Chairman, was to prepare to
resist an anticipated reduction Of
wages when electricity il substituted
for the cnble car on state street and
Cottage Grove avenue lines. Some
weeks ago Superintendent Bowen re-.
qucsted the employees on those lines to
express their choice between working
on cable care ut % cents nm hour or Oh
electric cars at q cents an hour, stat.
Ing that the question Of wages was the
main one to be considered In changing
the motive power. At present the en-.
plOyes on the cable lines are paid by
the trip, which, II II stated, makes
their earnings Mt the rate of from - to
30 cents an hour.
According to several persons who at-
tended the meeting Saturday night, II
was the opinion Of all that an Orgnniza-
ton of employees Of nll the South Side
