the Mayor on account Of the loss of If
on the Aver building, Melrose flats and
Coliseum disasters. The Mayor is Ger.
tainly culpablc when, in violation of

man commissioner of buildings vino
was neither an architect, an engineer
nor a practical builder.

The carpet.bag president Of the school
board wants to raise the taxes of the
people of Chicago to an y per cent. basis
next year.
He has the cheek to ask for Si.OO0,OOO
for new school buildings.
This beats the Champion of Graft all
hollow.

The accounts that reach us Of one
prominent financler show us that lac
must bc daisy. The other day poor
women called ut the Eagle office to tell
q terrible tale about this man. !. al,-
pears that the shark lives with an un-
married female. At one time he lived
with two of them. lie needed a hired
girl ana he engaged the 14.year-old
daughter Of the poor washcrwOman
who called at the Eagle Office. The
poor hrtle gi1l worked like n slave for
the rich mlser and was even obliged to
clean his Horse. One day he tried to
commit criminal assault on the poor
little girl. who ran home crying to her
mother, with whom she has remained
since. 1t may not be Of public interest
TO know that the unmarried woman
with whom the shark lives goes into
the bath room with the old scOundrel
and washes him and also laccs his
shoes.

w. n. Elsendrath. the Chicago rep
resentative Of the Leather Trust, and
who has not yet been indicted under
the antitrust law, informed reporter
for The Eagle the other day that he
has been paying "the city" $500 a year
for years for the privilege Of occupying
SangamOn and Dix streets. Who gets
the money? Eisendrath ought to be
made to tell. The slush and dirt from
his tannery also fills up the subway
under the Northwestern tracks at San
CANON street. Who gets the money In
the Health Department for permitting
this outrage?
What ails Alderman Hurt?
II Mayor Harrison runs for Govern
or on the strength of his Organ he may
get few contractors to vote for him
and he may not. The Organ is still
grating" on his name.

street to private parties?
How much does the City Hall gel
out of Elsendrath for the use Of San
CANON and Dix streets?

In another part of the paper will bt
found the names of the Senators and
Representatives who voted for the In
famous gas bills. Not one of them viii
be reelected.
No member of the School Board who
votes for sweeping changes In tex
books need expect ever to be elected
to an office In Chicago. The people
are on to them. Every house has beer
robbed by them.
