Additional evidences of the bad faith with which the Eckington and Belt street railroad companies have been dealing with the community for many months past con- to appear.

The Commissioners been officially confronted with a distinct type of either system, and have never been so called upon to pass upon the merits of such a type as to warrant the suppo- sition that the system itself was on trial before them. The whole air motor cam- paign has smacked strongly of a stock- Jobbing operation, and this latest disclosure tends to confirm the idea. It must not be overlooked that the Hoadley-Knight motor that was in experimental service the spring failed utterly approval, being condemned for numerous reasons. It was never placed in the official tests and was withdrawn in favor of the Mengrel motor before the Commissioners were formally approached for an authori- tative opinion in conformity with the terms of the statutes. The record of this case is st scrutiny of Propositions emanating from the com- even to the point of a skeptical hing of motives.

Saturday was the twenty-sixth anniver- sary of the great fire which reduced Chica- 0 to ashes. The day was observed in the windy city by a monster procession, which marched through the principal streets, and ¥ a brilliant display of fire works at night. The whole demonstration was characterized by unbounded enthusiasm and a most praiseworthy exhibition of civic pride. The whole city entered with heart and soul into a function having for its object the cele- bration of the local accomplishments of a quarter of a century of untiring and intei- iigent endeavor. Chicago has been the subject of many a fling on the score of her intense self-asser- tion and self-appreciation. The typical Chicagoan has been accused of knowing no other town but his own, or, if knowing ether towns, of holding them in the light- est esteem in comparison with his own. Her merits, in his eyes, are superior to the merits of any other town, and “even her failings lean to virtue’s side.” He will concede that there is still room for her to grow, but at the same time is convinced that that growth is assured, and that in time—and at no very distant time--the town of his pride and affections will be the largest town im the world. He Is neither annoyed nor discouraged when pleasantries ..October 11, 1897. p of Richard Croker | favor, the Hardie | glories in the accusation. And he is right. The citizen shouN love his home town devotedly. He ought to be- lieve in it, to praise it, to watch its devel- opment with pride, and point that develop- ment out to whomsvever will listen to the story. He may well be pardoned a bit of exaggeration and an occasional lapse frora the more rigid canons of good taste as applied to smaller things for the fine ardor he shows when splendid energies are at work around him, and when the genuine pleasure he feels in studying and descant- ing on them is thoroughly well justified. In Chicago the citizen unquestionably has occasion to feel a very great amount of satisfaction at the progress he sees on y hand. His town is prosperous and is forging ahead, its resources and opportuni- ties are enviable, and under the inspira- tion and direction of a vigorous American spirit many notable things have already been done and many more notable things are certain to follow. Queen Victoria and Ireland. The disclosure made by Lord Tennyson, in his biography of his father, that Queen Victoria did not sympathize with Mr. Glad- stone's home rule policy for Ireland, does not come as a surprise to the friends of | Ireland. It merely confirms what was the general opinion in Irish circles when the question was before parliament. The queen, as at all times, was guarded both in word and action at that time, but the Irish leaders inferred from a certain fea- ture of her extreme caution that her sym- pathies were not with them, and judged her accordingly. It is now shown by the printing of her letter to Tennyson that they judged her correctly. he matter is of interest only because of the agitation of the question at this time of building a residence for royalty in Ire- land. The Duke and Duchess of York dur- j ms their recent tour in the island were very cordially received by the people, and the circumstance was made the basis of a suggestion that if the Irish people could enjoy the opportunity of seeing more of the reigning family there would be more content in Ireland with English rule. This letter of the queen's may impair somewhat the force of that suggestion. But the suggestion is largely fanciful. It does not reach the real difficulty at all. | Ireland has never complained of the ne- glect of royalty in the matter of the ab- sence of royalty from her borders. Her de- mand has been, not for the presence of the | queen or any member of her family, but , | for the presence of a parliament at Dub- lin, sitting with the authority to inquire | into Ireland's wants and provide for them. She has asked for home rule, not for glit- | tering pageantry. Absentee land sm |has been a factor in the Irish question, | but absentee royalty never. ° The queen, this letter serves to recall, has never been an ardent admirer or sup- porter of Mr. Gladstone. Several explana- tions for the fact have been offered, and one, in Mr. Gladstone's interests, has been that he was never sufficiently a courtier to suit the queen. His obedience as a subject was perfect, but his manner and policies were thought to border too closely on the democratic to compare favorably in the | queen's eyes with those of Lord Melbourne, or Lord Palmerston, or the Earl of Bea- consfield, who served her in the premier- ship more after the royal conception of what was called for from the occupant ‘of that office. ——-- + o> —___ No Quarter for Megal Wires. The activity displayed by the District Commissioners in the matter of the illegal overhead wires that were removed Saturday is to be warmly commended. ‘These wires were strung without warrant, and in direct violation of the known laws and regulations. They, and doubtless many others within the District, were literally “sneaked” into service to perform money- earning duty for the company placing them. These efforts do not serve to hasten the ultimate solution of the difficulty that sur- rounds the electric distribution business done in this community, but rather tend tc postpone the final untangling of the knot. It is plain that new legislation is needed, most carefully drawn and wisely administered, to bring order out of the chaos that congressional neglect and cor- porate greed have caused. The chief rea- son urged by the electricity producers for such legislation is the present inability of the rival companies to extend their lines, to complete their conduit equipments, and to meet more fully than is now possible the needs of the city and District for elec- trie power. The community's reason for this action is its proper desire to rid itself of the dangerous nuisance of overhead wires. If the companies persist in making illegal connections by stealth, and are al- lowed to continue in the enjoyment of such advantag much of the commercial argu- iment for a clearance of the conditions dis- appears. Such actions as that of yester- day will speedily teach to the companies the lesson of compliance, and the Com- missioners will find their hands strength- ened by continuing the vigorous campaign against the wires that they have thus suc- cessfully inaugurated. —_ + +o ____ The Reasons for Annexation. The reascns for the prompt annexation of Hawaii by the United States are co- gently set ferth in the latest publ on this subject, the hand-book just iss by former minister Thurston, who 1 perfect acquaintance with the subject and the ability to state Hawaii's case in the most effective form. A synopsis of this »mphiet appears in the news columns of | this issve. The hand-book itself will doubt- less be of vaiue to the advocates of an- nexation during the coming winter, when this subject will be uppermost in the minds of the members of both houses of Con- gress. The systematic presentation of the reasons for annexation, with arguments and statistics to support them, together with every possible suggestion that can be made in opposition analyzed and fully met, cannot fail to create a sentiment favorable to the project. As thus presented the case seems So strong that it is is difficult io con- ceive of successful antagonism. = — = ___ If the people in England who desire bi- metalism happen to drift toward the 16 to 1 theory, they can find a great deal of ar- gumentative talent in its behalf that is at present unemployed in this country. ——_+ ee —____ Mr. Dets Fas declared that he does not want peace end, on a subsequent occasion, that he does not desire war.

The great fact about the whole matter is that the material progress of labor can be achieved only as wages rise, and_ prices, through the use of improved methods of production, decline. Nothing can be of real service to labor which does not promote one or thesother of these movements. The single tax will not do it. Socialism will not do it. Whatever will create among labor- ers new desires, habits and tastes, new de- mands for comforts and refinements, new ambitions for higher individual and social life, strong enough to make them organize to enforce these demands, will do it. Start- ing from this basis, we find a wide range of beneficent influences which can be util- ized to our end. well-lighted Streets, public parks and baths, model tenements and good sanitation will pro- vile conditions of eums, libraries and art a higher range of Kindergartens and am- instill tastes and wants. ple school facilities will do the same. A shorter working day will give the rest and galleries will leisure neces: for an adequate home and social life. Labor insurance will re- move the necessity of rigid self-denial and parsimony through all the years when men should be enjoying the full benefit of their earnings and taking advantage of those opportunities which disappear as age comes on. Public policies which encourage the increase of manufacturing industries will thereby promote the growth of towns and cities, and thus give the environment so necessary to the operation of high-wage forces. Trades unions offer the medium through which these forces can be cen- tralized and brought to bear upon the in- dustrial situation with a power and effec- tiveness which cannot be resisted. a Why the Referendum Fails. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. Last week three important constitutional amendments were submitted to the people of New Jersey. One of them was known as an anti-gambling amendment, and there had been so much complaint of the control of the state by bookmakers, race track owners and the like, for many years, that one might have thought that a full vote would be polled. On the contrary, two- thirds of the voters, in round numbers, re- mained away from the polls. It is reason- able to suppose that a majority of the ab- sentees hed no personal interest in gam- bling. Men generally vote on a question in which they have a personal interest. Yet the very men who might have been ex- pected te vote for the amendment, if they voted at all, did not feel interest enough in the subject to go to the polls. The majority of the people evidently in- tend to leave the making of laws, organic or otherwise, to the men employed as law- makers. Only under extraordinary circum- stances are they disposed to come out and be counted for or against a measure. When measures are championed by certain men they are more likely to vote because of the interest they feel in the men. In ab- stract propositions the majority of the vot- ers feel but a languid interest, or none at ry ——>++e—___ Ex-Presidents in the Senate. From the Boston Herald. The suggestion of ex-President Cleveland as a United States senator from New Jer- sey is made by some one not well informed as to the condition of present politics. New Jersey is not a democratic state, and if it were, it would not be found to be demo- cratic after the style of Grover Cleveland. Politics is too much in a transition state to afford opportunities to men of his char- acter. The same position was projected for ex-President Harrison after he left the presidency, but there were too many others in his party who wanted to be senators to give him much chance, even with that party in the majority. The question has been discussed, What shall we do with our ex-Presidents? Only one of them was ever ip the Senate—Andrew Jackson—and he for a brief term. Yet it would be a good movement to provide a place for all of them there. Let them be national senators ex- officio. The Senate might be improved in this way. It might be now if Harrison and Cleveland were in it. —_- + +e —____ Another Bifurcated Mystery. From the Buffalo News.
