ABSOLUTELY PURE
OUR CHICAGO LETTER.
The Growing Army of Unemployed
Feople.
Chicago, Nov, 23. Special corres
pondence. When the great exhibition
came to an end, tbe army of supernum
erary persons, swelled iuto many thou
eands.
The law which erected tbo noble ef
fort of all tho nations hanging round
tbe surface of tbo globe, aud ouabhd
them to congregate in pno place, uudtr
ono government, to show their own
religion, their different Idols, their own
progress, thnlr own Industries, tbelr
natural color, their faces, their own
bodies In national customs, this seme
rlaw dictated tho scattering and dls-
truotlou of the grandest achievement
tho united nations over brought forth.
Thoupands of Industrious hands, nimble
lingers, swift feet and thinking heads
which were employed In assisting to
keen the ereat show on a steadv tro.
found themselves1 enlisted ou the 1st of
November In tbe grand army of super
numeraries. Other fields of useful nets
bad to be looked for, and all of those
who bad good sense etiough to savo
their earnings during tho summer
months, could go baok to their homes,
whoro they evor will remember tbe
great show as tho most important
ovent Iu their Uvea. Others who spent
tholr wages as fast as thoy earned them
approached themselves with the im
portant question, "What shall I do
now?"
This class of peoule are Bt present a
standing embarrassment for tbe author
ities of Chicago. Evory night tbo po
lice stations are full of poor fellows win
are unable to pay for sleeping room In
ono of tbo cheap lodging houses. Crim
inal acts, such as burglary aud murder
began to lucrevso after tno closoofthe
fair In an abnormal rate, but as new
brooms are sweeping clean tho new
mayor, Mr. Swift, who was elected by
the city council, "after Harrison was
assassinated by ono of bis own party,"
steps down on tbe lawless mob with a
heavy foot, so that law and order aro
on tho ascendancy again. The rear
guard of tho army of supernumeraries
presents the most pitiful sight. It con
sists of several thousands of working
girls who wore dismissed on the 1st of
November, and ever since are unable to
find a sultablo sltuallou. They did not
suve their money during fair times and
now thoy are looking for work Iu vain
because the demand Is more than ex
hausted. The time of dancing, singing
and waiting on restaurant tables has
given place to the cool consideration of
approaching winter. Economy In tbo
study of many a housewife who In
former times bad girls employed, but
when tbe girls tunod their harps too
high, tbe lady of the houso prepared to
take a band In housework herself, and
a number of places where gills hud
found work and a good home, are now
clewed to hired fvmate assistants. Tbe
poor girls ought logo home or they
will be swallowed up by the slums of a
wicked city. A. F. Hukkii, Br.

Want Free Tiude.
PiOTOU, N, a, Dec 2. Sir John
Thompson and Charles H. Tupper ad
dressed a great political demonstration
hero. The premier said the Canadian
government was for gonulnu tarlfi re
form. Referring to tho tariff bill sub
mitted to congress by tho Democratic,
committee, the premlor dwelt on tbe
fact that, Instead of being 'in tho way
of free"trado, Democrats were clinging
with might and main to tho protective
policy, and that tho duties under their
proposed tarlfi reform were much
higher than duties now levied by Cat)
ida under its protective system. He
did not bellove thero would be any re
ciprocity between tho two countries.
"Still," continued tho premier, ''for
every step tho United States congress
takes In reducing or abolishing duties
on Canadian produots, wo will take a
corresponding step In roduolng or abol
ishing our tariff on American imports,
so far as tho requirements of revenue
will make It possible without sacrific
ing our commercial Independence or
ourattaohment to the mother country."
