Yerkes could not get a better City Council for the purpose of passing his contemplated franchise ordinances if he had one made to order. That was abundantly demonstrated last evening when the Aldermen performed some of the most remarkable antics ever known in the history ofi Chicago's legislative body. First, the Council forever burled all attempts to secure cheaper gas for Chicago.

To the same grave it consigned the ordinance whereby worklngmen hoped to secure three-cent fares going to and from work. Then it passed the speculative Commonwealth Electric Light ordinance over the Mayor's veto. As a finishing touch, it relieved the Chicago General railway company of Its present obligation to pay the city $300 a mile, and made that corporation a free present of its new ordinance. Incldentaly it took the Captains of police out of the operation of the civil service law. Mayor Harrison's Terse Opinion.

When it was all over Mayor Harrison exclaimed: And this is the body the Municipal Voters' League claimed was a great improvement on former Councils." Alderman Harlan while debating the Chicago General railway ordinance said: This is an infamous measure and the body which passes it must be an infamous and degraded one." The Aldermen made no answer, but passed it by an overwhelming vote. Mayor Harrison did succeed In making his veto of the Aldermanic salary grab ordinance stick, but then the members of the Council knew they could not benefit by the measure and were indifferent to it.

Unless all our previous figures have been totally out of reason, Chicago has made the substantial gain of over 76,000. These figures may appear surprising, but they will stand analysis. We have followed one rule in getting at the totals for seven years and we have never been very far from the truth. The census of 1890 gave Chicago 1.110,000. The school census, taken almost immediately afterward, gave 1.200,000.

The Directory figures for the same year were 1,150,000. This seemed to be a nice mean between the two others, and In counting the increase year by year we have taken this estimate as the starting point. We have never been wide of the mark at any time, and, I see no reason why the same method of estimation should not apply this year as usual and give the same truthful results. went to the former employer of her husband and told him of the circumstances in which to have lost considerable money in grain 111, Is Taken to Alma, for Rest.

There is no way to get around it Chicago has grown and grown in a healthy manner. The increase in 1896 over '95 was only 55,000. In one year the figures jump 20,000 with apparently nothing to attract outsiders owing to the dull times. Yet they came Just the same and the most of them seem to be getting along fairly welL I have seen an estimate that the percentage of Increase of the birth over the death rate would give Chicago an annual increase of about 30,000. The difference between 30,000 and 76.000 would make 40,000.

which figures represent new arrivals to the city. Two Million In lOOO. Chlcagoans need have no fear that the year 1000 will not witness a population of .000,000. Good times are in sight and the surplus population always crowds to the big cities in times of prosperity. I look to see the population of the city increase next year, and it will be far over the 2,000,000 mark by 1900.

I think the present estimate too low, as the density of population in large cities grows as the city becomes settled and older. One of the most remarkable things In the new directory is the vast number of changes. I think they will average fully 50 per cent In all walks of life. I attempted the other day to have a comparison made in the list of architects of last year with the idea of using a standing galley of type, but the changes were so numerous that I had to abandon the attempt. It seems as if the people have in many cases moved to smaller and less expensive quarters or business-men have doubled up to save rent.
