The mayer of Chicago is a growing figure €n the democratic horizon. His friends see ereat things in store for him, and he Seems to sec them for himself. There is a Harrison boom just now. His youth, his Personal attractions, his abilities, his en- ‘ironment, all are quoted as promising a leadership full of hope for the party. The first prize has been won, and it is a prize of no ordinary caliber. The mayoralty of Chicago is a place of very considerable im- portance. The governorship of Illinois is next In order, and for that Mr. Harrison is ow formally entered as a candidate. ‘Then, of course, the White House. But © enthustastic are the Harrison men that y may try to waive Springfield and jump their man directly from Chicago to Washington. There is reason to believe that this New York trip undertaken by Mr. Harrison to help Tammany ts a feature of the program. Richard Croker is an ardent admirer of Mr. Harrison, and has praised him as the right sort of man to preside over the affairs of a great city. If therefore Mr. Croker carries New York—and Judge Van Wyck is merely a mask for the Tammany chief— the Harrison movement will receive a not- able impetus. With both New York and Chicago under the complete control of the Harrisonites, maneuvering for advantage in 1900 may go forward with some promise of success. But, strong and attractive as Mr. Harri- son may be, he cannot work wonders. He stands on the Chicago platform. The Chi- cago platform, he declares, represents democracy. If that is true, then Mr. Bryan ts incontestably the foremost living demo- crat, and if that platform ts to be accepted by the country as the chart of a national policy Mr. Bryan ought to be called to the helm. He did not write the platform, but he has made it his own by a championship aggressive beyond parallel in recent years. He has made it, indeed, synonymous with his own name, for the whole pith and moment of the document fs now known and accepted everywhere as Bryanism. He is still in the forefront of the battle, deliv- ering the best speeches on that side of the controversy, and drawing by far the largest crowds of all the silver orators. Mr. Crok- er may not like him, but Mr. Croker can- not set him aside. So that if the country decides to revolutionize all of its policies, financial, economic, and what you please, it is much more likely to do so under the reai leader of the new crusade than under one who is simply following in his train. ———++ee—__ Ne Authority for Pipe Lines. No exceptions can be successfully taken to the reasoning of the attorney for the District i: His opinion on the pipe line question submitted to him in connection with the Eckingtoa and Belt rapid transit projects. He was confronted with a pro- n in the law which Receiver Schcepf has construed to give the companies per- mission to disturb the streets in order to lay seventeen miles of pipes. His duty was to seek the real intention of Congress in the case, to ascertain by a close reading of the siatute, if possible, whether the houses in legislating had used words which meant that the compressed air car should be any other than an “independent” motor, as the District committees were promised it should His inquiry resulted in the discovery that the provision for an experimental period of tests with the air cars made no mention whatever of provisions for pipe lines, and he is wholly justified in the assumption that Congress did not contem- plate that pipe 1 were to be used as y in connection with the propul- ompressed air cars at any stage of The logic of the situation is The experiments authorized ntended to determine the availability of the air system fer local use. They wero designed to demonstrate the exact degree of reliance to be placed in that no time during the pre preparation or during the of the tests themselves did the companies suggest the need ef pipe lines to carry on the ex- cours: periments. They acknowledged by their success in this direction that air cars ean be run along the routes of the two roads dent of any fixed plant save an air r at the terminus. Thus they justified the view of Congress which con- sidered it to be unnecessary to pre pipe Hines for the experimental tests. As the Commissioners’ attorney well says it is evi- dent that if Congress saw no n ssity for such equipment for the experiments, which were to determine the success of the entire project, is surely intended to grant no au- thority for a permanent pipe line for the reg- ular service of the compressed air system. never been a time to tear up the usciessly, and the attorney's epinic; ttles the matter from a legal st int. ——02___ Distinguishabie Money. etary Gage's plans for eurrene: form just being evolved and examined will probably be heartily approved by the peo- ple generally without regard to their pre- Gilections for or a silver at 16 to 1. ment nor even congressional approval. will result in giving to each piece of per money” such a distinctive individuality that mistakes cn not well be made as to its value. Under the present system, when all bills look very much alike save upon close scrutiny, ft often occurs that a care- less handler of money will mistake a one for a ten, a two for a twenty, and so on, but under Secretary Gage’s scheme such errors will only be possible in the case of the blind. There are two points of ad- vantage in the proposition to give each denomination a distinctive design, plainly apparent at a glance. It will prevent such mistakes as those indicated and it will probably discourage _ counterfeiters whose spe: ing of bills. The other branch of the project, whicn calls for vari-colored seals and other fea- tures of the notes, to distinguish between the “kinds” of money, affects only the cashiers, tellers and other whose duties re- quire them to handle large quantities of bank notes and who are obli to dis- eriminate between greenbacks, silver cer- tificates, national bank issues, gold certifi- cates und the like. —_~>+o—___. Complete the Tunnel. The reiteration by the chief of enginecrs in his annual report of the recommenda- tion that the abandoned aqueduct tunnel and reserveir he completed places once more on Congress the necessity of facing this project, which has received so many authoritative endorsements. As the c: now stands Congress is practically pledged to grant the necessary appropriations, which’ need cover only a part of the total cost of the project inasmuch as large bal- an from former appropriations are now awaiting disposition in the Treasury. The preposition that the water supply system needs these adjuncts is verified by practic- ally every oficial report made upon the subject of late years. Certainly the Wash- ington of the future will demand them im- peratively. and the time to complete them economically is the present, before the work already done is injured by further lapse of time. No longer is there doubt as to the engineering possibility of the pro- ject, which has approval from this stand- point from a sufficient array of competent authorities. Congress is practically satis- fied as to the need and the economy of the proceeding, and further delays are not to be explained save on the ground of habitual procrastination. ———_— + 2- _____ It is a pity that the United States govern- ment can not command the services of scme expert and economical dickerer like Mr. Russell Sage to represent its interests in connection with the Pacific railroads. ++ __ Luetgert is a man of extraordinary ef- frontery.

At the annual meeting of the Carriage Builders’ National Associaticn held the other day in New York, a paper was read by a Dayton, Ohio, man on the effect the bicycle has had upon the carriage trade. It was naturally a wail, but not of complete and unmitigated despair. The Dayton man was fully appreciative of the extent to which the people have taken to wheels and of the corresponding extent to which the demand for carriages has suffered, but he saw a rift in the clouds. He said: “The people who formerly used carriages still use them, and almost every bicycle rider hopes some day to have a carriage. ‘The bicycle has undoubtedly come to stay, but as a fad its day has already passed. It has become too common. It is no longer a_ source of distinction to own a bicycle. The bicycle has reached the ‘cheap erd nasty’ stage, and kas seen its best days, though it will never go out of use.” A great many people, those who ride wheels as well as those who do not, will take issue with the Dayton man on this point. The bicycle is, to be sure, largely a “fad” even yet, but there is no ground for expecting that its use as a’ means of convenient transportation will ever fall off to the extent that the Dayton man believes probable. The bicycle is now in- deed a permanent institution, and the prea- ent tendency toward cheap prices and. bet- ter and more convenient construction will not lessen its popularity in the least. How- “ever “cheap and nasty” the wheel may be in some phases of its market relations today, it remains and will continue a source of great comfort, pleasure and con- venience to thousands who could never hope to own a horse and carriage. The latter equipment requires a large space for housing and a heavy annual outlay for maintenance. These items place it beyond the reach of millions who nevertheless de- mand a participation in the modera im- provements that affect the daily life. The bicycle at $100, which price will probably never again prevail except for unusual makes, is a more economical property than a horse, carriage and harness costing as ™uch. It requires less outlay for mainte- prance and is more readily available at all times and under all circumstances. There is little real rivalry between the two in- terests, save so faz as the livery business is concerned, and that has been saély affected, but the carriage makers and users must not forget that the wonderful popularity of the bicycle during late years has had a marked influence for go0d roads throughout the country, and for this they Should be grateful. ——_+ +e _____ If Mr. George should ever reach a post- tion where he has the power and feels it his duty to incarcerate Richard Croker, the latter will probably use all tke influence he can command to have Sheriff Tamsen ap- pointed head doorkeeper. Ex-President Cleveland spoke to the Princeton students about the self-made man. The self-unmade man was a topic upon which modesty forbade him to touch. ————~- + ___ SHOOTING STARS. A Ubiquitous Phrase. “Have you pacified that province?” in- quired the Spanish official. “Yes, indeed,” replied the general. “Just | before I left those people said that they wouldn’t do a thing to me the next time I came.” Trath. “They say that truth is at the bottom of a well,” remarked the man who is fond replied his friend who was looking over a bundle of valueless stock certificates. “I never investigated that par- ticular kind of excavation. But I can state as an absolute certainty that it isn’t in any part of the average gold mine.” An Expert Opinion. poece men,” remark 4 the thoughtful youths “are frequently misunderstood by replied Senator Sorghum, grave very true. And mighty lucky it is for some of them.” When He Wavered. There's none who can his nature plan And tell just what it will be like; 3 a plain straight-forward man Until he first bestrode the bike. The One Regret. “Of course,” he said, as he handed a nug- get to the bootblack and told him to keep the change, “I am glad to be back from the Klondike. And yet I sometimes look back on my sojourn there and draw comparisons unfavorable to my present life.” “You miss the excitement.” “No. But I remember with longing and regret how I never had to fight the clerk and bribe the bell boy in order to have ice water in my room every morning.” October.

Whatever opinion one may have as to the guilt or innocence of Luetgert, no one can have any deubt that the trial was a mis- carriage of justice. A failure of the jury to agree is always this. The entire object of a trial is to present all the facts so clearly that twelve fair men will agree either as to guilt or innocence. If nine men held one way at Chicago and three the other, if hours of wordy pleas outside and worly discussion inside the jury room brought no agreement, it was first und briefly because of the expert testimony. This disagreed flatly on all points, and it disagreed and was intended to disagree so as to confuse the jury and cloud the chief issue. In this particular trial the fragments of hone found in the vat were the pivot of the case, because on their character de- pended the proof that a human body had been dissolved in the caustic soda with which the vat was filled. This waa an issue of fact which in France or Germany would have been impartially passed on by @ permanent commission of experts ap- pointed by the government, called on by the judge, paid by the year and making their report This commission terest in the case one way or the other. Its report would have been scientific and impersonal. When made, it would have been accepted by the jury and the court as settling the particular facts at issue. _——__+- —___ He's’ Now the Public’s Man. From the Philadelphia Record. Mr. James K. Taylor of Pennsylvania gets his place as supervising architect of the treasury as the result of a competitive civil service examination. He distanced thirty-five competitors. Has Mr. Taylor any friend who does not feel proud of his achievement, and of the merited honor that goes with it and rewards it? He might have got the place by dint of “influence” instead of by dint of merit. He would have then been some senator’s man or some other boedy’s man. Now, he can make himself useful in his important place without con- sulting any other motive than the public advantage. —_———_+0«—____ No Partisanship in It. From the St. Louls Globe-Democrat. Senator Morgan is correct in saying that tkere is no politics in the Hawalian annex- ation question. When such a stalwart democrat as Morgan and such a robust re- publican as Lodge are found on the same side of any issue, that issue cannot have any partisanship in it. It ts gratifying, too, to the friends of annexation that the Ala- bama senator’s visit to Hawaii and his re- cent close study of that question have strengthened his belief in the desirability of the acquisition of the islands by the United States at the earliest practicable moment. ———_—_+ +2 —____ Rendy for an Emergen From the Chicago News.
