Gold is leaving the U. S. Treasury now at the rate of a million dollars a day. That is what the bond buyers want however. They have disposed of their recent purchase at a good big advance and are ready for more. Carlisle's plan of keeping up the gold supply in the treasury is similar to the man's, who was tryiug to fill a well by the water which he pumped from the well and then poured back. As financiers for the government and the people, Cleveland, Carlisle & Co. are failures. They do very well for bond buyers and money sharks, but tbe people will have to foot the bills.

The fees of the Coroner's office are something that need vigorous attention by the next legislature. The people have been robbed by many coroners over the State who charged illegal fees. Marion county* shows up the worst. Shelby county though paid out §411.GO for three inquests last year. Coroners are au expensive luxury under the present fee system. In many eases it costs $75 or $100 for the coroner to bring iu a verdict saying a man was killed by the cars or in some other way equally as plain when every one knows the facts as well as the coroner.

The eye is the most precious organ of the human system and has well been called the "Mirror of the Soul." Like many other ailments of the human body diseases and nlliictions of the eyes are becoming daily more prevalent, especially is this so with children and the younger generation. Many young people and children are now seen wearing glasses and many more are suffering untold agonies for the want of them through the ignorance, pride and avarice of parents. Myopia, Hypermatropia and astigmatism are becoming common ailments to the eyes of children. All those severe headaches, red, inflamed and tired eyes are caused nine times out of ten, by some one of the above ailments and could be removed by the proper adjustment of glasses. We have made a study of the eye for several years, have the finest instruments iu the world for testing them and have fitted hundreds in this vicinity. We test all eyes free of charge and tell you honestly whether or not the eyes can be benefitted by the use of glasses. A. Davis, Optician.

THEIR MODEL TOWN.

A VISITOR TO PULLMAN FINDS LITTLE CHANGE IN THE SITUATION.

Fewer Employees In the Shops Than Before the Strike—Laying Oil' Workmen. The Schedule of Wages In Force—Cry-

Ins Exils of the Credit System.

[Special Correspondence.]

CniCAGO, Dec. 4.—I have just paid Mr. Pullman's town a visit, during which I tried to learn the present state of affairs there. "How many men are at present working in tho shops? Are they getting any bettor wages than wcro those against which they struck? Havo tho old hands been re-employed, or have they been discriminated against? Will there be much want in Pullman during tho coming winter? How do the people feel toward tho Pullman company?" These and similar queries were tho ones to which I desired answers. '•I should say," answered one of my Informants, "that about 2,500 men aro now at work, possibly not moro than 2,000. They are getting the wages against wltfch they struck last summer. I am not sufficiently familiar with the scale, however, to speak in detail of the waives paid by tho company at this time, but the number of men receiving as much as if8 a day is very small. A few more get Srj.iiO a day, a still larger number $3, and so on down to $1 or less. "Tho population of Pullman 13 not now what it was, for at one time there were nearly 12,000 inhabitants. Nearly orquito every house and tenement was occupied then, but now of the 1,800 homos 500 at least are vacant. I know this to bo true because I heard it at the renting o?«lee. If each of these houses had five inhabitants, which I think is not an overestimate, including children and boarders, tho residents of Pullman now number 2,500 less than when it was at its best. There will bo some suffering hero this winter because there will bo some families having no means of support, but it will be so in many other places too. I cannot say whether I believe there will be more suffering here than elsewhere becauso I am not familiar with other places. Although there are only about half Ss many at work as In tho best times, yet not all of those who took part in the strlko and have not again secured positions with tho Pullman company havo moved away. They still occupy tho Pullman houses, of course, but they aro not paying rent, and most of them havo determined that they will not pay rent either. For some reason best known to Mr. Pullman there havo been no evictions, possibly becauso he has had enough of fighting for the present. How long these families will be allowed to oc-

himself could give this information,

i. -v- T-. "His present sys"-m of employment is

radicalhJ llifT,rent

from the of-i time plan

nd suits tho men bettor. No jne is now

work, whereas thu scheme used to bo to give work to r,.- individuals as possible, even if they all worked on short time. It was claimed by the company, I believe, that tli's plan gave something of an income to all am! was therefore of great benefit to tho workingmen. Those who do not approvo of Mr. Pullman or his company claim, on tho other hand, that the plan was adopted for the purpose of keeping tho men who rent tho Pullman houses in town so that they might continue to pay rent. Of courso I know nothing about the merits of either of these claims. As I havo said, tho men like the present plan better than the old one, for it gives thoso who aro employed a steady anddellnlto income, and thoso who aro laid off, not being tempted to hold 011 so as to bo in tho lino of steady work when it comes, feel at liberty to go away and seek work elsewhere. It is, however, less profitable to the company. You can undoubtedly get more definite information as to tho number of men now employed, tho number of vacant houses and the wages paid than I can give you by calling at tho renting office and questioning the agent, Mr. Hornbeck, who is tho only one empowered to givo out any statements here."

I went to the renting office, which is located in the "arcade," a dreary enough place on a winter day, and asked Mr. Hornbeck for the information required, but he did not answer my questions. Ho said he had got over talking to newspaper men. Ho knew all tho things I wanted to know, but lie wouldn't toll me.

From other sources it was learned that most of tho men now working are old employees. "You seo,"itwas stated, "it's money in the coffers of tho company to keep the old men 011, for they aro in the houses, and, though back in their rents, can bo induced by steady employment to pay up their arrears, even if they have to pay in very small driblets. They aro paying as fast as they can, but that is l.ot very rapid. It is not any too easy for a man 011 $2 or $2.50 a day to meet current expenses, much less pay up old obligations. Tho curso of Pullman is and has been the credit system. Very few of the residents hero confino their purchases to the amount of money they havo in hand. I know that this system is quite generally prevalent, but in few places is it so universal as it is lien?. I hold that tho underlying principle of the en tiro Pullman plan is to blame for this, for as tho men cannot buy homos hero and cannot go outside tho limits of Pullman for that purpose without risking their places tlioy havo no incentive to bo provident, as men living in other communities have. I am aware that it is claimed that no order has ever been issued making any distinction between residents and nonresidents, but I do not caro to reviso my statements in the least."

It took mo several days to get tho facts from the Pullman company's standpoint, but that was undoubtedly becauso it was desired to furnish thu information iu a comprehensive and compact form. According to an employee of the Pullman company, there are now 3, (57 employees, of whom but 58 rent bouses of tho company. Many of tho others, however, board with thoso who do rent. Thoaverago earnings aro nearly $2 a day, including messenger boys, at !f.l5 per l'lonth. Most of tho work is piece work, and so the earnings should not bo spoken of as wages. About 250 earn $18 a week, as many more $15. They work a little harder now than they did In the (lushest times, when rates were highest, and so earn almost as much as they did then. In October the average earnings were $49 and some cents.

Of the total number of employees now at work only iWO are new to tho works. The feeling toward tho company is cordial, and there aro but 250 vacant tenements.

It will bo observed that tho two versions do not agree in all essentials, but I havo set down both us impartially as I can do so.
