THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
Chicago Fuom Within
.“There’s a lot of crime in Chicago and a whole lot of political rottenness aiyl prohioition crookedness—and then there’s a whole lot of good. You should see our museums and universities and things of that sort that count; our boidevards and parks and forest reserves. “Our unfortunate and present mayoralty experience is indeed a.great hardship for the city. Thompson comes ot good colonial stock, is rich, and should have been a good servant of the people. He trained with the wrong crowd, thought lie could buy almost anything in American politics, had no scruples as - where the money come from, lost his head and most of his political friend* in the end, and is now badly in the discard, although he has nearly two years more in office—unless he has the decency to resign. Some of his acts and eccentricities have been rather exaggerated hv the press, but Chicago is wearing sackcloth and is ashamed of the situation.—Extract from Chicago Letter.
