In the future it mny bo Iald down ns o rule that Republiean candi- dates for Mayor must have earned thelr spurs In the Counell before they ean be pro- moted to the higher oftice, "fur shriek of loeality proceeds on the supposition that the City of Chiengo isnot one cityy but three.

Tho ery of leeality when ralscd agninst o candidate for Mayor is slily 10 the lnst degree, aud nny sensible man ought to be ashamed to urge it.

Mr. Spalding would natur- ally bo reluetant to take the Muyoralty or any other politicnl oflites 1lo Lins n largs husiness which requlres his constunt ntton- tlon, and he coupd derive wo honors from uiltceholting more than those he nlready pos- sesses. His high character for fntegrity und executlve capacity would have mande himn formldable candldate, mud he conld undoubt- edly huve been elected it nominnted, But he chose tosuerifico what hisfrivnds regavited us his personnl Interests to the narmony of the party, and hu so doing he certalnly put himself In a more envinble position than that of the successful candidnte, who hns mnde the real sactl In the ense Tare: shipmentsof grain trom this eity dur ing the weoks that have Intervened since the 15t of January havo been conslderably lesd than those durlng corresponding weeks of provious years, though tha netual sales and shipments by our morchants have been fully ap to it not exeseding the ordinary tranle, ‘The explanution 15 o very plain one, ‘Fhe fallrond “pools™ bave all been direeted agulust this city, whito the most liberul cut- ting of rates has tuken pluce outside, Thus grain by the single car or traln has been shipped from points outside this elty at rates of frelght which forbade competition by ship- wents frow this city. 'The result hns been that receipts of grain here stuco the st of Junnary have been comparatively iight, whils vast quantities of produce lu the coun- try, owned by Clileago merchants, huve been shipped by cut-otf roads from the country Warehouses to il the citles and towns of the Fustern States. OQur merchants who have been denled the privilege of dellvering graln « from this city because of the * pool” rates have quletly carrled on thelr trado through ngents s all the country polnts onall the rullroad routes, where coutracts coutd be ob- tylued gt rates wl’lv:h. wide shipments from / Chicago shmply impossible, ‘Uhe grain sent East has heen forwardod, ns we have sald, at rates not obtalnable in Chieago, All tho *puol” lines, while belng fnexorable ns o the ehnrges from Chlengo, have not hesitated to make contracts with ship-, vers at nll other points ot rates 8o fur below those demanded in Chicago that our merchants have sunply filled thelr orders thronght country ngents, these agents having contracts at cut vates with the rail- ways, It is possible that some willions of bushels of grain have heen sent East which, In tho absence ot this discrimination by the puol lines agninst this city, wonld have come to Chleago, As tha most of this graln was held on Chieago nceount, vur Chicago met- chants have reaved tha buenelits of the cut rates, ‘I'ho losers by this modeot doing busi- ness gro the tilroads entering the city, who have lost the traflle, and who have seeni the pool rates take this grain and earry it off, Onr Western aid Southwestern ronds have lost the transportation of thisgraln, and have thus contributed heavily to ald the Eastern pools to dlseriminate axulnst this elty. Tue annual appropriation ordinauce s now before the City Couneil, 1t approprintes every dollar which the city ean tawfully ralse by taxation, There Is no mnrgin per- miiting any diseretion.

Aldermen will need tho few remalning duys, and especlaily evenings, to nttend to the polities of thelr re- spectlve wards, So the Councll lind better adopt the ordingnee as a whols without fur- ther wasto of thne, especially as no amount of labor can change it substantiaily, THE REPUELIOAN OITY TICKET. ‘The Republlean City Convention yesterday nominated the followling tickets Tor Mayor—John M.

Not une of them was a self-secker, and there was not one of spotted or dublous character. Any of them if clected would have been o useful and eapa- bie Mayor. The cholee foll upon Mr. Clark, not Dbecause he was n better citizen than the others, but beeaure he was n more avaliable candidate in the judgment of the Convention than any of them, and because his nomination was de- manded by great mnsses of the party, and espeeially by the business classes. 1le was emphatically n business-man’s enudldate, aud his nomination 4 un acknowledgment of the rights of that portion of the communi- ty to b oceasionally consulted in tho cholce of munieipal oficers, 4 Mr. Clark has some very nnusual gualifiea- tions for the oflice of Mayor, He: is u resl- dent of the ity from boyhood, but s still comparatively n young man. e was edueat- ed fnthe vractien! seiences In tho Polytech- nie Institute at ‘Troy, N, Y. und practiced his professton as a eivil engineer for several years, Ils professionu! tralning has given him a Xind of knowledgo whleh It Is mpor- tant n Mayorishould have. e can spenk and net us an expert on questlons relating to the sowerage of the clty, .strect-puvements, vin® duets, and the water , supply.

THE LAKE VIEW MURDER. e borrible teagedy at Lake View on Monday evening by which Mr, Charles 11 Cram, an estimable eitizen of that subnrb, lost his life at the hatds of the young man Wilitam Soymour has not a consolatory feature about it except the sulelde of tha wreteh who connmitted tho deed, “The mur- doerer wis n youns man who had pressed lils suit upon Mr. Cram's young daughter, o sehool-givl of 17 1o was fn no way u fitting assoeinte for tho youne lady, amd he hud been ordered to discontinue his visits by Mr, Cram anil his wite, The yowng Inly hevself disliked him, a 16 was owlnie to her protes- tatlons, as well ag to hier parents’ knowledge of s low and disgraceful habits, which maude him not only an unfit suitor, but an untit nequaintanee for her, that they oser- elsed the natural right of proteeting her by ordering him to stay awny from the house nnd cense his persecutions, "U'his he refused to do, e visited tho house whenever he pleased, and seemed to take n specinl de- Hght In condueting litmself thore, ns to did elsewhere, In n disgraceful manner.

There can be very MHttle moralizing over sueh n deed,—so blnek and horrible In ity uveryuspeet. It was the work of a desper- ate, Dloody-minded, ond perhaps erack- brained fool, wiiose own life was of no ae- count, as it had been flung away and dissi- patediin o dlsgeaceful manner, As it was of 10 value to him or to any one else, he took it, and it {5 to be chiefly regretted that ho did not take It beforo hie went to Loko View, It soved the hangmnn a commisston whieh it s alinost to bo wished that he might have had, for the feellni of justice is by no meuns sat- isfied by his sulelde. but it makes no com- pensation for the great sorrow Into which the fmnily have been plunged, to the wife whose husband has been tnken away In tho prime of his usefulness to the community and of tha hinppiness in his home, or to tho nine children who have been left fatherless by this terrible blow. They will recelve the sympathy not nlone of the little community for whom he hud done s much, but of the wholeeity.

It Is not kunown In other countries, though the rulo s almost univer- sal in this country, In Europe, where more than one person of « party have beer, wine, or other boverage, ench pays for what e orders nnd, conswnes, and no more, 1u this country the -opuvosit is the general rule, nnd one man pays for the whole round. Tho worst teaturo of this practiee is, that after oue man trents eacl man who has been “treated” feels It Inewmbent upon him to treat the ecrowd also; tho resalt I3 that In FKurope, when haif w dozen men drink together, there Is but one drink ench, while in this country each mun of tho six treats, und consequent- ly eact man takes stx drinks, ‘The expendi- ture and the conswmption under tho systom of treatlng Is :hbrelu: greatly inorensed.
