ANOTHER KIND OF "BILL."

While congress is engaged in discussing the details of the dry, dull bill intended to relieve the financial stringency that prevail in the country, Chicago and all of her visitors are discussing a "Bill" that is neither dry, dull nor uninteresting. This "Bill" is Buffalo Bill, and from the unanimity with which he is supported there is no prospect of his ever being repealed. Temporary closure will be applied Nov. 1, but until that time the discussion will grow warmer and warmer, and the stampede from the opposition ranks, if there is any opposition, will be so great that his success will be unprecedented when the roll is called. Like many other good measures this "Bill" has been improved somewhat by the Cossack amendment, proposed by the representatives from Russia; the Arabian amendment, supported so strongly by the Bedouins and Syrians; the soldier amendment proposed by the originator of the measure, Nate Salsbury, and so strongly supported by the representatives from the German, French, English and American armies. The original "Bill," that embraced the Indian, cowboy and Mexican features, was considered very good. Amendments have improved it, and the final one recently adopted, and which provides for the perpetuation in the hearts of the people of a monument to the gallant Custer and his brave soldiers, ensures the support of all classes and the eternal popularity of this already favorably received "Bill."

Seriously speaking, the entertainment furnished by Buffalo Bill and his Wild West company is without question one of the most popular of the kind ever put before the American or any other public, and the merit of its many features and of the exhibition as a whole is such that the patronage bestowed on it is full deserved, and Colonel Cody and his managers must feel justly proud of the strong endorsement they have received. Two performances will continue to be given every day, at 3 and 8:30 p. m.
