POLICE B1AcKMAIL IN cHIcAao.

We are now ready to consider the sys-
tenn of police blackmail in Chicago. AS I
said at the outset the list of rates was
given to me by q man who has intimate
knowledge of the matter-a man whose
figures must be correct down to the last
cent. We're / to give his name, no per-
son would think of questioning the ac-
curacy Of his statements, So far as I
know, he has never shared in the plum
der. His name is on the official pay
rolls of the city, and his office and per-
sona1 character are such that he would
have no motive to deceive me. I told
Mayor Harrison that police blackmaiI
did exist, because of this mans state
ments to me, and also because 1 saw
in my Investigation resorts of such
character as never have existed in any
American city, and never can exist,
without police protection and consequent
blackmail This is the list of rates as
given to me by this authority; Gamb-
ling houses, $50 and upward month;
panel houses, $35 to $50 month; sa-
looms where music is played contrary to
law, 500 occasionally; immoral places,
$50 to 5000 a month. There is also
blackmail of large fruit stands. There
is little blackmail of saloons for Sunday
selling, largely because the saloon traf-
fic is under the direct supervision of
the aldermen. 1t is notorious, however.
that 1t costs 800 to get a saloon license,
and $500 to get 1t back if once it Is re-
voked The matter of granting licenses
and of revoking them is referred to the
alderman in the ward concerned. One
may see from this how important the
office of alderman is in Chicago. So
corrupt has this office-holding clique be-
come in Chicago, that up to July / last,
when the law was changed it was no
torious that even the grand jury room
was not free from this degrading
"hands OUT system. The same man
who told me of the police rates, said that
he had positive knowledge that certain
grand jury had demanded and had Sc
cured as high as $4,000 in a big gam
bling case, and then had returned mo

rHE oANaERous sEAL SKIS.

Perhaps the safest and timeHest
course for contemporary owners of seal
skin furs is to lock them up in a strong
box, and sit on the box and call for
help. The stories of the experiences
and sIfferings of persons who have re-
Gently been caught with seal skins on
them are very terrifying, and warrant
all the precautions above suggested. 1t
is proper to say, though, that proprie-
tors of seal skins are in no real danger
so long as they keep away from Uncle
Sam s custom houses. Hereditary seal
skins may be worn with impunity in
the country without any real hazard of
arrest or police surveillance. 1t is when
you try to bring your seal skin through
the custom house that the rub comes
You must then either produce custom
house permit emitting you to bring that
particular hide back into the land of lib
erty, or you must be prepared with con-
vincing evidence about the pedigree
gender, and former residence of the
seal; who caught it: who killed 1t; who
dressed it; who made it up and many
other biological and biographical de-
tails. If your story and your evidence
hang together you may bring in your
skin, but the chances are that you will
it,
The new treasury regulations which
require all this red tape are well adapt
ed to make the use of seal skins by
travellers to or from the United States
excessively unpopular. They make the
most trouble on the Canadian frontier,
where, as winter is really winter up
there, people wear seal skins much more
than in the latitude of New York.
There may be some solace for some
persons in the recollection that all the
trouble about seal skins is due to Can
ada, and that there is a sort of pro-
priety in letting the Canadians and their
visitors experience most Of the conse-
quent inconvenience The hitch about
that, however, is that the folks who
hunt the seals and the folks who wear
the skins are different people without
special community of interests or mu-
tual sympathies. The ostensible purpose
of the regulations Is to keep out of this
country skins of seals killed in waters
of the Pacific north of the 35th degree
of north latitude which is the district as
to the regulation Of which the United
States ard Great Britain cannot agree.

THE NEW COLONY, RUsKIN.

Mr.. Klamroth, an advocate of social
ism reform, a resident of RuslSin, Tenn,
a small town near Nashville. that is
conducted on the cooperative common
wealth system, in an interview gives
some very interesting facts about the
new colony.
Ruskin is situated on the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis Railroad 1t
was incorporated three years ago last
August by thirty people It's inhabi-
tants now number 225 persons. The ori-
ginal incorporators of the town of the
town subscribed enough money to pur-
chase half the land that is now the site
of the town. The other half was do
mated to them by people interested in
the enterprise and anxious to see the
commonwealth succeed. This co-opera-
tive commonwealth colony now owns
1905 acres of excellent ground and
stores. the farm land and the mills are
all conducted on the cooperative plan.
Nearly every family owns its own
house. but every resident in the place
eats at the same dining table. In the
morning the bell rings at $50 o'clock
and all the members of the colony have
to conform to a set of regulations
which prescribe that all shall rise at
this hour. At 6.10 O'Clock the breakfast
bell is rung and all the families of the
village gather in the dining ROOM The
table is waited on by schoolgirls, who
also wash the dishes. At o'clock an
other bell is rung that is the signal to
begin work for the day. None of the
men or women members of the colony
are laggards or drones and as soon as
this bell is sounded they at once be-
take themselves to the work that has
been assigned. Chicago Chronicle.
