The grapes :.re purple as they can be;
The apples are ripe on our favorite tree,

Look to my Father.

Monil oll'eriugs continue to ho ta

ptobable that the period for tho pur
chase of bonds for the sinking fund
may bo extended cither temporarily or

case demand.

udmonbhing the members that they
are violating the provisions of the civil
service act, and that for so doing they
ate subject to lino, inipri.-onnient, and
dismissal from the service.
Commissioner Obcrly's ruling, just
as might have been expected, is severe
ly condemned by all spoilsmen, espe
cially those of Ins own party the de
mocracy. Uut.ou the olhi r hand, lit
is warmly applauded by civil service
reformers ami independent, thinkers

on his part exhibited the highest de

Entioit OiiiK.ov Sim r:
As I lind myself incumbered to-day
willi numerous leisure moments', there
aie twu itbjeets npiermost in my mind
aa to the most pleasant and bt in licial
means of employ ing t lie.se net ions mo
ments which go to make up a lifetime.
The two objects which I huvt refer
ence (o, which I consider worthv of
my attention, are the Industrial E po
sition if Chicago and the Sham Cattle
of West Side I ri intr C.trk, l tin mil
itary organization nf the various na
tions of the. earth, which ate also in
session at, present in the city, but
w hich will be si feature ofgreatir in
terest when "other precincts" t.re rcjs-re.-entcd
which ate not yet in. While
ohi'Mug a prefemnce between these
features of pass-time, a thought comes
up ruggo-ting my allegiance to tho
Okui.o?; Si'in r and ntlier friends of
by-gone davs, and tic momentous
question nf Inivv to employ my leisure
moments i at mice decided.
Chicago has not diininttiitcd in size
since I last told you of her greatness,
but ui th- contrary, within the space
of a year that I have resided in this
city, her growth in the way of substan
tial seven, eight and even nine-story
blocks has been enormous, notwith
standing the stagnation of industry
that has been credited, and from which
commerce, trade and every character
of enterprise hassulleied extensively,
ller growth is liuirvelously wonderful;
her limits are unlimited, and her great
anus aro outstretched to receive all
bordering villages to her fold, She
would even, possibly, be inclined to
forgive St. Louis for her past false priw
teu-es, ami admit her as an insignifi
cant part of Chicago at some future
day. She lias already admitted Cleve
land as you will m'h by an extract
from the conversation of a couple of
prominent ( Miicagoans :
Chicago Man (to friend) "Quite n,
feather in our cup. I see that we will
get Cleveland."
'Doesn't amount to so much. Ilea's
going to St. Louis, too.
"Who?"
"Cleveland, of course!"
"Oil, I understand now. I made a
mistake. 1 thought we we were to
take Cleveland, Ohio, into tho city
limits. If it is only the President they
are talking about, of course it. amounts
to nothing."
Well Cleveland, Ohio, has not yet
been received within the corporate,
limits of Chicago, but Cleveland,
drover, with his queenly bride have,
and their reception was grand, aye it
was royal mid adjudged to have been
witnessed by a million and a half of
people. Such a te.stless sea of humani
ty as your cot respondent overlooked
fiom tlie seventh story of tlie Cardner
Muilding nil the corner of Washington
and Fifth Avenue would make the
largest congregation of people that,
ever gathered on Oregon soil look as
insignificantly insignificant as would
an Illinois potato by the side of an
Oregon squash. From my exalted
position ( had a splendid view of the
gubernatorial skating rink which is i;
great deal moie extensive than 1 ox
pecle'd to see on the presidential head
of tlie government. Mis. Cleveland's,
visiage did not add its lustre to tho
presidential party at the point from
which the writer viewed the procession,
as she wiki so wearied with travel that
she had taken her departure, from tho
procession at the Palmer house. Tho
parly consisted of tho president, .Major
Coach and Gen. Terry, were preceded
by United States cavalry and followed
by carriages containing tho reception
commi'tee. Following the committeo
was t'cvcrnl companies of U. S. infantry
and fotcign and local military organi
zatious, among the most interesting of
which were tho Zouaves and tho
Zouave lads. There were many re
markable features in (his grand parado
which your limited space would not
permit of description, one of the last
but not least in admiration being a.
noat company of sixty bicycle'ists and
two tricycles. At a halt iu tlie march,
us this part of the procession rounded
tho corner into Washington street,
many of the riders stood firm on their
wiry steeds while not a few wero com
pelled to dismount and hold their
nietnlic chargers 'til the order wasi
given to forward. The enthusiasm
and patriotism of the spectators wan
swelled beyond comparison and cheer
upon cheer mingling wilii the melody
of uightccu bands and tv se.vtcJt'j of
guimino Scotih bag-pipeiH rent tho
otherial realm, from whencuyo Kcribe
witnessed tho spectacle, with a queer
combination of suiiuds. Tho process

fine hour and thirty-live minute in
