The records of the jubilee week In
Chicago leave no doubt that good
many of the visitors to that city had
something in them when they strolled
in from their respective scenes of ac-
tivity in the busy world, and spread
themselves along the southernm ost
shores of Lake Michigan. And from
the president down it is evident that
the charges they carried were all
sweetness of the most extreme honeyed
constituencies. A more beautiful in
stance of nose-rubbing has not been
witnessed on this continent.
There was one visitation, however,
which was absent during the great
fire week of 1871, and which would have
been more welcome then than it was
week before last. Jupiter Pluvius' is
the classical style in which the wet,
wet ram is referred to by the Chicago
Tribune. But the cyclone of oratory
could Withstand this association.
And now that it is all over, how
much relieved everybody must feel!
The president ought to experience this
condition the most deeply, because of
the evidently congested state in which
he left Washington for Omaha. No
body could have suspected in adj
vance. that he had so much in him as
the speeches which he gave to
the Western breezes in the progress
of his journeyings have revealed. And
as for Chicago herself another triumph
in the line Of wind and noise and blare
and tinsel has been scored and the
legend '"The Success of the Jubilee" is
writ upon the scroll that records her
other numerous titles to imperishable
fame.

house last evening, and she walked along a

that has been presented in this town.
It is a thoroughly and unqualifedly good
show-that which opened at the Metropolitan
last evening. It left no opportunity for the
most critical to complain. 1t was not that
all of the acts were distinctly unique but
that everything that was attempted was very
well done indeed, and there was enough of
the unique to make the bill a strong one
The house was large one, and 1t should be
even larger tonight, for we have not had so
many good things in the way of vaudeville
that afford to overlook such capital
entertainment.

HALLOWEEN.

When underneath a starlit sky
The wayside shadows blacker grow,
When dry leaves rustic in the grass
And whispering winds run to and fro,
When candles on a sudden burn
With lurid flames now blue now green,
And in the stiffness you can hear
Your own heart beat-it's Halloween!
When shouts of laughter fill the air
AS chestnuts pop, or two by two
Contentedly before the fire
Sit side by side as sweethearts do
When apples, rosy-cheeked and round
In Simple Simon's pond careen,
And tempt the lads to duck and drown
Adventurous-it's Halloween
And when sweet Phyllis timidly
Steps backward down the cellar stair
At midnight with whispered charm,
To find her fate and fortune there
When Chloe. brushing out her curls
Above their lustrous wave and sheen
Sees Love within her looking glass
And smiles for joy-it's Halloween

The CHICAGO Jubilee.

The city of Chicago has, recently,
undergone the severest test of it's
qualities Of endurance to which
it has been subjected since the historic
cCnf1agratiOn Of twenty-seven years
ago. 1t has successfully passed through
an attack Of national expansion of the
lungs in a manner which must com
mand the admiration even of everv
Jealous rival community in the country.
Political conventions have come and
gone in Chicago at quadrennial pc
RODS during the past forty years, and
on some of these occasions there have
been memorable Windbursts of oratorv.
but never before has the operation been
so we'll sustained so meIlif1uous and
sWeetly harmonious in its rhythm as
during the recent jubilee.
Several years ago a young man serv-
ing in the capacity of private secretary
to a high government official accom-
panied the latter on a visit to his fam
lily, who were spending the summer at
quiet, retired but quite fashionable
summer resort on the New England
coast. There was also stopping there
clergyman Of considerable celebrity
and many eccentricities. One moon
light evening in August shortly after
the arrival Of the young man, there
|. was dancing party at the hotel, but
he, being a stranger, did not receive
an invitation. That evening. too. at
supper he ate rather heartily Of some
fresh honey in the comb, and as it
produced a somewhat uncomfortable
feeling he strolled down along the
beach,. thinking the exercise would do
him good. He seated himself in the
sand at point about half a mile from
the hotel and nursed his discomfort
with a good deal of fortitude while he
gazed out upon the moonlit sea. Pres
emily he saw advancing toward him a.
dark figure of a man, who evidently
was soliloquizing. AS he came nearer
he heard him utter the familiar lines of
Byron:
''Roll on. thou deep and dark blue ocean,
roll;
Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain.''
There the voice ceased, and the man
halted. He had discovered the crouch
ing figure in front Of him on the sand
The young man rose to his feet, and
the other man came forward The lat
ter at once recognized the former.
why, Mr.. Blank" he said, extending
his hand, "are you out here all alone
when there is so much merrymaking
going on among the young people at
the hotel?"
Eyes, SIR replied the young man
modestly, and with a twinge of pain.
WELL" replied the clergyman, for
that is who it was, 81 always think,
when see young man turning from
scenes of gayety and frivolity and
worldly vanity to solitude and re-
fection upon the splendors of nature,
that there must be something in him"
The young man was possessed Of a
sense of humor, and he replied boldly
well, sir, this time 1 guess you are
right. The fact is I ate little too

What Eustis Stands For.

For man of only limited carrying
capacity, the Guaranty Loan candidate
for governor is burdened with the heav-
lest load that has ever been seen on
the shoulders Of gubernatorial candl-
date within the history of this state.
Setting out upon his long and perilous
journey to the state house with the
Guaranty Loan, the Minneapolis hospi-
tai site. the old soldiers, the insulted
and indignant Scandinavians and the
unforgiving lumbermen upon his back,
Mr.. Eustis has been accommodating bur
dens that would be sufficient to swamp
even a good man.
If there is a department within the
state government that is a stencil in
the nostrils of the people, or an official
who has won the censure and reprOach
of unanimous people, that depart
ment is the one which, by a fine frenzy
of the imagination, is supposed to ex-
anime the banks of the state, and that
officer is the bank examiner.
And Eustis stands for that
The grain producers of the state
know that they have been swindled
out of millions Of dollars during the
past ten years by the favoritism and
discrimination practfced in the grain
inspection bureau.
And Eustis stands for that
The department of labor and labor
statistics was shown during the last
session of the Legislature to be simply
a political annex, and even a Republic
an Legislature condemned the system
of employing the whole force of the
department on political work, instead
plated under the law which created the
department.
And Eustis stands for that
The state pays out thousands of dol
lars annually for the maintenance Of
a dairy commission, and the man WHO
is at the head of it is possessed, appar-
emily. of the delUsion that butter Is
the product Of the butterfly. It. like
the other departments, is simply polit-
zeal bureau charged with the sole duty
of keeping the Republican party in
power.
And Eustis stands for that
The game warden is another one of
the exalted whom the Guaranty Loan
candidate has taken upon his shoulders
as a part of the legacy that was hand
ed down to him by a long line of Re-
publican predecessors, and who sleeps
soundly in the consciousness of duty
well performed when he has spent one
month shooting chickens and the other
eleven organizing the Republican
party.
And EuStis stands for that
Not one word can be said in criti-
cism Of one of these officials or depart
ments but Eustis becomes indignant
and valorously defends them, and not
one word can be said in criticism of
Eustis but it is resented by them as a
personal affront. They all have their
lnstructions-and their promises. They
know that the election of Eustis means
the continuance in office of Kenyon,
Powers, Clausen, Anderson, Fullerton,
and all the rest Of the birds of prey
that have so long fattened at the public
crib while the farmer and the work.
ingman We're sweating and toiling to
pay for the velvet carpets on the de-
partment floors
There is going to be an end to all
this. The people know what Eustis
stands for, and they will not stand for
Eustis.

How DO 1 know this? Here is the proof;
