American citizens in the raw. Many
Of the residents of the district are
employed in the mills and factories
in the immediate vicinity; and when
one has penetrated the outer husk
of appearances it is found that they
live quite as happily and as cheer
fully as the general run of mankind
on the boulevards, barring the pangs
occasionally inflicted when the wolf
stands temporarily at the door.
Blue Island avenue, one Of their
main thoroughfares, cuts across this
district in diagonal line that
swerves from it's path now and then
in Difference to commercial interests.
Every legitimate business is repre-
sented there; and the street as a

mans boat appeared and that dlfh-
Guilty was solved. Soon we were
across the murky water and found
myself amidst hugh lumber piles that
doomed up on every hand; and two
or three belated workmen whom
saw seemed good to look at in that
labyrinth of dark hiding places. But
the road was plain enough and time
brought me to the edge of that
desert of commerce.; and there / saw
bright archlights, row of saloons,
policeman, store, more stores,
street car in the distance, and still
beyond that the great glare Of light
and concourse of people that de-
noted the carnival. Long festoons of
incandescent lights caught in the
middle hung over the street; and
from grand triumphal arch, the
tops of which served as band stand,
came strains of lively music.
Passing down the long vista of
lights (and evergreen hangings) in
the favored district of the carnival
/ became one of the crowd OF Ameri-
cans. They had not always been
Americans; they had been Bohe-
mians, Germans, Poles, Jews, and they
now spoke a mixed dialect. A great
babel went up to heaven. The women
all wore shawls and only the younger
generation wore hats; and those OF
the men who smoked, smoked pipes
and only smart boys smoked eiga.

Why should the trusts be permitted
by the tariff law to thus overcharge

Why should the trusts be permitted
by the tariff law to thus overcharge
the American people and pay enor-
nous dividends on their watered
stock? The only possible answer can
be that the republican party is bene-
ficiary of the trusts, and its represent
ations in both houses OF congress are
bound. in return to aid them.
Voters in every congressional dis
trict should demand of their congress-
men and, of the candidates for the
next congress that they pledge them
selves to vote for abolishing the duty
on trust productions. If only rs OF the
members of the present congress SO
pledge themselves. this relief from the
trust extortion can be accomplished
before next March, when the term OF
the present congress expires. Other
wise the relief to the people is pro-
crastinated until the 5Sth congress,
which does not meet until December,
1903, and it must contain majority OF
tariff reformers.
The whole question of trusts and
tariff reform is therefore in the hands
of the voters. If they elect demo-
cratic majority to the next congress,
it will be notice to the republican
leaders that tariff reform IS demanded
and possibly they will yield to it next
winter. If not. the 5sth congress VIII
take the matter up and the senate
will WELD to reasonable reform.
When casting your ballot, it will be
well to remember that the legislative
ticket is of equal importance with the
candidate for congress. The legisla'
lures of one-third of the states elect
United States senator's when they
next meet. A tariff reformer in the
senate is even more important than
in the house of representatives; he
holds his seat for six years.
Tariff reform is The great issue and
must be met sooner OF later. The yot-
ers can hasten or delay it. Which
will you do?

decorated portion of the street and
well bred faces peered out at the
sights, but little notice was taken of
them; but when meat wagon man
conveyed the carcass of calf into
a meat market there was attention
and much good natured joking and
pushing there. During the evening
I glanced upward and noticed in the
suspicious sky at that hour that the
moon hung upon the meridian of the
street and star or two dropped
away in such manner as to suggest
on grander scale counterpart to
one of the light festoons below.
Thinking only of the foreign jargon
one heard and the curious names over
the stores which one saw, there was
humor in the carnival for a Yankee
American. The most modern of cleo
trio light signs told over and over
again in colors red and white and
blue that Mr.. Schwitzner or Mr..
Dvorak sold goods the best and other
signs further down gave the hint
that Mr.. Novothy or Mr.. V. Kobzina
might be found within.

In general way it may be said
that SO far as outward appearances
are concerned the slough of des
pond" and the "valley of despair
in any great commercial seaport or
lakeport having stream large
enough to float the shipping of the
place, naturally take their geographi-
cal form in accordance with the
sinuosities of that stream. This is
true of Chicago, except as to that
district known as the city's great re-
tail center. To the southwest from
this business district the heavy water
of the river flows through an UNI
formed region of factories, lumber
yards and railroad property and
touches at dingyedocks where coal,
grain, lumber and machinery are
loaded and unloaded. In the 'lay-
out" of this territory there is abso-
lutely no system. Considered from
the point of view of the railroad
the land is cut into numerous and
varied geometrical figures by the vari-
Gus rights of way. To the pedes-
trian, who cannot disregard the river
in his rambles as do the steam giants
of the railroads, the situation is still
further complicated, and all the more
is this true because the streets twist
about at the craziest of angles to
suit the convenience of the steam
roads, the river, the great lumber
yard labyrinths and the irregular
| factory tracts, which were first pro.
vided for.

center of the street and the pro-
fessor had disappeared. When next
seen he appeared over the high corn
ice of building dressed in pale pink
tights balancing long pole. He was
greeted with cheer upon cheer and
soon was well saddled upon his pro-
fessorship, or his professorship upon
him. Trying his rope first with
few gymnastic evolutions over the
sidewalk he then walked boldly
across-the center for the concen-
tratel glances of thousands OF eyes,

one exclaimed, earnestly. bah, doz
eezy for him. He will not work for

Suddenly the pink figure was the
center of shower of fireworks. This
was the grand finale and the carnival
was at an end. The people surged
down the street and scattered for
home; ard as for me, went home
by different route than had come.
