Tbo Chicogo worklngnicn have pro

of tho city council work or broad. The
papers of that city aro vory suro this is i

"When tho poor of Chicago did not nood

if it exists, refuses to supply them with
the means to maintain Ufa. Last winter.
a Chicago park bill was prcsontod to th
legislature, and tho Chicago papers and
lovors of the pooplo urged its passage
with characteristic ouorgy. Mr. James
Koot and a doien other philanthropist
visited Springfield in tho intorosl or tho

And so the bill was passod, and becam
a law, authorizing tho assessment and col

num. Jim Koot said and all tho philan
thropists rf Chicago deolarod that this
money was to bo spent to givu to tbo poor

the poor aro cryjng: "Wo want bread."
"What reply do tho philanthropists make
to this demand? Thoyssy: "Don't bo

You aro agitators and communltts or you
would not make, this demand,"
How about that sunshine and fresh air?
The peoplo are willing to do'awhilo with
out sunshine and fresh air if they can get
bread. Can't the philanthropic dispensers
of sunsbino' and fresh air, at 100,000 per
annum, change the programmo a little
and disburse 1100,000 worth of broad In
stead of sunshine and fresh air ?
In olden limes tho' poor asked for bread
and the philanthropists gavo them a stone;
in this day In Chicago tbo poor ask for
bread and the philanthropists glvo thern
