The conviction of 3lamtN, who killed a man named Garexa in a West Side saloon last October, and his sentence by Judge Janesox to only two years in the Penitentiary for the act, is certainly not a very encouraging outlook for the suppression of crimes of deadly vialence in this city. Manrov pleaded guilty to manslaughter, and tliere was a trial without a jury. The killing was cormitted, it will be remembered, in a sort of drunken row, in which ManTIN was mixed up in some way or other. He was the only witness who appeared in his own belalf, and his testimony was in effect that he was so much under the influcuce of liquor that he did not know what he was doing (?). Manslaughter is defined by the statute as *‘the unlawful killing of & hu- man being withont malice, express or im- plied, and without any mixture of delibera- tion whatever,” and the punishment is fixed at.imprisonment in the Pen- itentiary during naturel life, or ¢ for any npumber of years.” Now Martm's defense is materially the same as that which will probably be put forth by Da- refuse to redistrict the city, or in some other way 80 neglect their duty in the premises as to permit the election of these thirty-six Al- dermen on a general ticket, whereby a thor- | oughly reorganized Board could bs secared. We fear that for once, however, the Council wiil not be derelict in its duty, and the elec- tion of the entire new Board will be by the old ward system, with the difference that tho wards will bo somewhat larger. The matter of taxation alone should suggest to all good citizens, and all men who have private inter- ests or the welfare and progress of the city at heart, to give their time and influence to the work of securing a Common Council that will not abuse the extraordinary powers vested in it by the charter under which the city is now governed. 'WABASH AVENUE. That portion of Wabash avenue lying be- tween Adams street and the southern limit of: the fire of 1874 isstill in a comatose condi- tion. The laying of the hors@railroad track gave it one impulse, and -there have been a gpod many improvements since the cars have been running and the street newly paved; bat there is still a largo amount of idfo prop- erty and a stretch of ruins that is uupleasant to the eye and damaging to the city at large. We think this is due to an erroneous pclicy on the part of the property-owners. A policy might be adopted which would build up the entire street within a short time and bring in a rensonable return on a fair valuation of the property. The proper thing to do with this Wabash avenue property is to line it with modest but substantially-built residences or compartment-houses. Houses of this cher- acter which heve already been constructed in that locality have been rented readily, gnd there is such a demand for just such houses that, if all the vacant lots were occupied in this way, the residences could all be rented before the 1st of May next.

When & minister writes a sermon or a journalist an editorial on the weather, the deceitful thing is sure to veor around to the opposite extreme before the sermon is spokon or the editorial printed. During a warm, bright weelk in April, when Mother Earth is waking up from her winter's sleep and cloth- ing her nakedness, like Mother, Evy, with green leaves, some eloquent prencher elabor-. sotes a glowing discourse on God's goodness, a8 exemplified in—the weather. On thesuc- ceeding Sunday, he speaks his picce. The sentences about gentle zephyrs are declaimed to the accompaniment of savage blasts of wind, and when he refers to the budding branches, geunt and storm-lashed trees, stripped of .every sign of life, toss up and down just outside the win- dows in wild mockery. shivers, and the sermon falls flat. weather has played one of its practical jokes. The journalist suffersin the same way, He writes on a chill and gloomy day, or at might when hailstones best upon the window, a { did it with the full knowledge that their rela- plaint against the awful weather.

We are bound to have a change, and ‘l’i‘ho bonch of & technical schapl is & good very great, inasmnuch as the classes now coi dueied by the Athenmum and the Mechari Tnstitute in the rooms of the former afford a nucleus for the organization that is needed. The importanco of skilled labor increases every day. It is of sterling value to the comniunity at large and to the individual artisan. And the technical school is the most powerful opponent of the short-sighted trade- union policy of unduly limiting the number of apprentices, and so denying children the chance lo learn how to earn their living. Thers is plenty of “room higher up” in every trede, but the room hes few occupants. her manufactures. She sold her wares as fust as she could produce them Thus o low tariff and a sound currency have enabled France to bear the enormous burden of her taxes and thrive at a wander- ful rate. £ - It ia reported and understood that there is to bea cancus soon held by the Republican mem- bers of the Common Council for the parpose of agreeing upon s corporation newspaper,—the time for which the Infer-Ocean was elected hav- ing expired last week. Two concerns aro ap- plicants for the honor and emoluments of tho contract for theensning term, viz.: the Chicago Evening Journal and the Inter-Ocean. The lat- ter, it is 8aid, has secured the promise of all the County Treasurer's printing for two yoars to come, including the enormous delinquent list, which yields many thousand dollarsclear profit per annum ; but it eeeks also to gobble the city printing, which s an upplessant exmbition of porcine proclivities. If the corporation printing is to be awarded on the score of party service, the Jowrnal is entitled to it. as it con- tributed at least five times 28 mach to the success of the Repoblican ticket at the late electlon as the Infer-Ocean, whose forcible-foeble and sophistical rag-baby place from which to begin to climb to the top. THE REMOVAL OF HENDERSON, The removal of Mr. HeNpERsoN from the prosecution of the whisky cases at St. Louis, while it will be received with regret, in so far s it removes an apparently able and vigorous prosecutor from the case, was nevertheless an act which the President was compelled to perform to preserve his self-respect ; and the unenimous indorsement of his action by the The congregation | Grand Jury at St. Louis, will be favorably The | regerded by all but the most narrow and bit- arucles did precious hitle towards the siiccess of the ticket. If circulationis to be taken into ac- count, the dmly circulation of the Journalis perbapa half a dozen times 88 Iarge as that of the otherconcern mithin either the city or county. | Looking =t the matter in any light except that of mere charity or pauperism, the Infer-Ocean is certainly not entitled to the perpetual monop- oly ofall the *spails ” which it has managed by importunity and impudence to secure during the past two years. Itis about time to give the *+0ld Reliable” a chance; it does not look fair to let one porcine have all the swill, and the other none. The Demacratic members of the "Council will choose between the Courier and Post. The latter has done the mos: dirty and defamatory work of late, and has the larger claims on their votes, i s e Cebinet at Washington, and indirectly by the ter partisans.

One of the surest means of preventing the sale of adulferated milk is for the milk-dealers to stop sdulteratingit. As compared with the silly ordimance introduced in the Council recently to stop the sale of skimmed milk, the draft of an act proposed by the milk-deslers to prevent the sale of adulterated milk by severe penalties is very important. “If people can be guarenteed sgainst swill milk and chalk milk they will accept even skimmed milk thankfully.

According to his figures, the church property of the United States in 1850 which paid no taves amounted to, at & very low valuation, $83,000,000. In 1860, it had more than doubled. This year it is estimated at $1,000,000,000, and, if §t keeps on increasing without check, he estimates that by the year 1900 it will reach & sum exceeding £3,000,000,000. We have nof the data by which to judge of the correctness of the President’s figures, but to the President. They both felt the trespass -upon them, and were indignan} and resented it. He was removed at their request, as he had been eppointed at their request. The removal received their hearty indorsement, ns it did of the rest of the Cabinet, and as it will of all respectable members of the Bar, and of all fair-minded people in general.

There has been but one advantage in the matter of taxation which hag resulted from the adoption of the charter of 1872. This act fixes the fiscal year beginning with the annual election of municipal officers, or per- mits the Council to fix any other date by ordinsnce. Availing itself of this privilege, and at the suggestion of the Comptroller, the Conncil hes fixed the fiscal year for the future dating from Jan. 1 of each year. This change will enable the city to do one of two things, viz.: either to pay off a part of the floating debt which«has accumulated on socount of the chntested and unpaid taxes, or to reduce the appropriatjons in the next ordinance. The effect of the change will be to make one ghort fiscal year of nine months, instead of twelve months, and the difference, though coming from the pockets of the tax. payers, may be spplied to relieve the city to this extent from the embarrassment that has been brought on by enticipating the collec- tion of taxes and the failure to collect a part of them. The principal point to be.kept in view is that the tax-payers of Chicago are in the hands of the Common Council. A full City Board of thirty-six Aldermen is to bé elected next spring, after the redistricting of the city. It would be o blessing to Chicago if the pres. enb Council should fail 4o oall s elsction, or and fashion, and ornament. - Some churches own only the ground upon which they stand, others an entire block, and many, like Trinity Church, of New York, hold heavy amounts of resl and personal estate, and are, in reality, large,” rich, and powerful corporations, re- ceiving the protection and all the benefits of Government which other corporations have, without bearing their proportion of the ex- pense of that protection. This, of itself, isa flagrant injustice to tax-payers, but this is not all. The removal of church property from the tax-list to the free list increases the bur- dens of tax-payers tens of millions of dollars, and the general revenues of the country would be deficient to that amount wers it not for the fact that this amount which;the church corporations do not pay islevied upon the gencral community in a proportionate increass of taxes. In other words, the churches are ‘‘ dead-heading™ upon the tax- paying public, and the church establishments of the country are supported by taxation of the whole people in a manner exactly equiva. lent to a church tithe. Under such a condi- tion of things as this, it is for the interest of church corporations to accumulate property bsyond their requirements, and to enter into a‘'rivalry of show and display with each other, the effect of which is always demor- alizing, Therd is no reason either in law or in'cotamon sensé why the people ad & wholy US ITEMS.
