Sv long as the ‘better element’’ stand aloof and leave the political machinery in the hands of those who will own it, who- ever they may be, they have nocause to complain if abuses creep in. Every gooa citizen owes it to himself and his country to take part in the politi- cal conventions and primaries of his party. _—_——_ Tuere would seem to be room for an explanation on the part of the mayor in connection with the matter of the enforcement of the cow orii- nance. When the matter was called up in council the mayor stated the matter was before the circuit court, presumably on appeal. Judge Bish- op states no such matter has been brought to his attention. There is some difficulty in reconciling these two statements. Ir it is true, as alleged in some quarters, that Foraker and his follow- ing in Ohio are putting forth their energies to embarrass Major McKin- ley in Ohio, then Mr. Foraker and his following are not patriots nor good Republicans, and Ohio owes it to the country speedily to lay them on the shelf. We do not believe it is true. We believe Foraker and Bushnell are both too high-minded and too good politicians for such a honor is above reproach, as the other ———leight.

A careful reading of the proposed right of way ordinance for the Illi- nois Central reveals a number of par ticulars in which consider it carefully in it will be well to all its bear- ings; and in some instances we do not hesitate to say it should without doubt be amended. In the first the should mark the line of the proposed track definitely, foot of the from start to finish. Sucha provision as that it shall pass from one point to another ‘by the practicable route’? should be panged and the definite route deter- mined before the ordinance is passed. With this done the granting of the right to lay the track over ‘‘said des- ignated line’? means something, oth- erwise not. _ The provision with reference to the place ominance every way most exe grading of the streets should be made definitely to require the grading for the full width of the street and its maintenance in good condition at the expense of the road. The company would practically the streets and own course. Ir is possible the reduction in price of steel rails, if it proves to be permanent, may have an effect on the duty which will be placed on the product in the new tariff bill It is not at all likely there is @ profit in over which its road shall should be required to maintain them entirely at its own expense. It may be questioned whether it is the part of wisdom to give the dirt between pass, on the west side of Second, Clark and Adams to the cc rails at the present prices, at least for most mills, It may result in the closing of some mills, which are not prepared to manufacture as cheaply as the larger concerns, Thus it may prove a two-edged sword cutting both ways. While it stimulates trade in some sections it may, if von- tinued, kill it in others. Itisto be hoped this will not prove to be the case. Low prices are not to be de- sired, if so low as to render produc- tion unprofitable. In such ca: labor is always the chief sufferer. — Tue attempt of the ‘Register’ to slur the circulation of the Suv is ss weak as it is uncalled for. culation as claimed by the Sux used adivan- of stree this dirt. be repair elsewhere, for which without the city would have to buy The company has a convenient use for the dirt near by would of course be glad to grade the for the use of this dirt.

The ‘Register asks: ‘Did the city printer comply with the law?’ Why yes, my dear sir; yes. Inasmuch as-the provisions of the law are plain and the acts of the public printer well known it is upnecessary to explain ‘‘how.’’ The ‘Register’ well understands ‘+how,"* and simply desires to register a kick because its business success is not equal to that of its younger and more enterprising neighbor. ‘Tur attack of the ‘‘Register’’ on three members of the city council, on the ground that they are stockhold- ers in the Sun is both uncalled for and ineffective. Granted the three councilmen named are stockholders in the Sun, what is to be said about the other eight who voted with them, There were eleven votes in favor of Mr. Fisher fur public printer to one against him. And this one, who has continually manifested an unfriendly disposition toward the Sun and any- thing connected with it, could not find a second to his motion in favor of another.
