The only effect Of the great change WAS to bring
The English under the influence OF the peculiar
civilization Of the Romance nations. l. new
dynasty, new nobility, change Of ownership

Wo have published iull reports from the seat
of war in Ohio, where persistent course OF
prayer-moeting has proved too much for The sa-
loon-Eeepers. In Danelsonyillo, Conn, the abb
stinence-1nen prey On their adyerearies in DIFF
fercut way. They buy up all the hquor-se1lers
bad bills, and harass them with judgments and
executions till they are driven out OF town. Tho
chief objection to this method OF warfare is
that, in country village lin the West at 1east),
tho vhisky-vender's bad bills are apt to consist
exclusively OF those owed him. Either plan is
far preferable to that in yegue year or SO
since, when infuriated yiragos were wrccking
the saloons in various Weatcrn towns. This
went out Of fashion, We believe. when an Iowa

the prairie, and will be completed probably
about the time the Company's charter expires.
The Clinton and Blue island lines are wholly in
adequate to meet the wants OF the people, while
tie Milwaukee avenue cars are likewise insufli-
cient to supply the SO, 600 people who are depend
cnt upon them for the means OF getting to
aud from the central part Of the city. On the
West Side there are urgently demanded: Ia
line on Halsted street, from Archer avenue to
Lake street; line on the same street from
Archer avenue to Twelfth street, md thence
east to State street and north to Lake street.
2. line from Lake and State streets: by Way Of
Twelfth street, to Western avenue. 8. A line
on Randolph street, from State, BY way of Hal
sted and West Indiana streets, to the city limits.
4. line on Chicago avenue. from Western
avenue east to North Clark street. and south TO
the river. These additional trunk lines, With
such branches as may be necessary to meet the
pubic convenience, are all needed now. It Is
not question Of meeting tho wants OF the
future; the want already exists.
The enterprise Of the existing hor6o-raiway
companies is far behind the times and the wants
Of tho city. On each line Of horse-rai;way there
are no less than two lines OF omnbnse5, all
doing thriving business. and yet the railway
companies trent every request for moro cars as
petition to put them in bankruptcy. On the West
lines the excessive riety OF the management
atones for the sin Of running cars on Sunday BY
stopping them at 10 o'clock at night, and the
same rule prevails On Eome Of the South Side
lines, the hour Of stopping being an hour later
The want OF cleanliness on many OF the cars is
an offense without excuse orapology. the South
Side Company has yielded 80 far to the demands
Of the public as to run car each 90 minutes on
State street after II O'Clock. Little Us this is, 1t
is something which the West Side can never
hope for. The last car from the West Side leaves
its terminus at II o'clock, and for the next
seven hours any of the 900 people want
ing to get downtown rnuft walk or hiro car
riase. After u O'Clock I'll intercourse with the
West Side must be On foot. This is an antedi-
lurian policy, altogether out Of place in Chicago.
The Common Council should never grant my
privilege to any horse-railway company except
on condition that the cars be run at intervals OF
thirty minutes bstween midnight and morning,
and that the cars be subject to inspection as to
cleanliness, with penalty attached for running
them In 8 filthy condition

It is rnmored around town that certain mem-
scheme for new gas company, and that the
.sole object and purpose Of the movement 's to
b1acknail the old Company. Former successes
are ea;d to have encouraged that class OF poht,-
Clans who have no money ard yet spend great
deal to be elected to the unsalared Office Of Alder
man to make fresh levy. The Gas Company
has no friends except with the marnmon OF un-
righteousness, and, apparently, does not desire
any. It probably counts on biennial visitation
OF blackrnal IS d part Of Its operating expenses,
and collects the required amount from the pubic
by furnishing poor article Of gas at.full prices,
by lighting the street-amps before sundown,
and by letting them burn all night at full moon.
4 few years ago the Two Companies were bled
28o, ,000-some authorities put it as high as
s120, ,U00. or course the public had to pay this
bill in the end, along with their other gas bills,
and they will have TO pay similar li1s as long as
the Company continues to render itself odious.
No headway could be made for 8 blackmai1-
ing scheme, it the Company performed its
duties to the public, by furnishing good article.
at lair price, with q suitable pressure, and
keeping pace with the public requirements But
Eo long as 1t pursues the grasping and nlggardly
policy which now characterizes it b1achman
will be one OF the regular items in it's expense
account, until some fine day an ordinance will
pass the Council providing for new company,
The South Division Of the city certainly needs
new company. We are informed that the old
Company, whose works a1e on the North Side,
while some Of its customers are five OF six miles
distant, lost 80 much money by the fire Of Oc:o-
ber, 1871, that they can't afford to build new
works at present We don't believe that yarn;
but, il it is true, it constitutes q strong argu-
mont for new company. The public want
company that can afford to build new works.
That such company can be organized in very
short time, We hare no doubt. II the old Com
pany is impecunious, that is no reason Why the
public should be without good gas and adequate
works for 1ta manufacture. Let it stand one
aide and make room for another concern more
accommodating and less poyerty-st,icken-

Sir benjamin Brodie, in his book On "Mind
and Matter" points out the intimate connection
between bad air 1nd d1am-dlinking- His argu-
meut is that the bad air produces depression
and that the victim drives away that depression
in the only way open to him,-by getting drunk.
This position is strengthened BY his mention OF
q number Of persons who "spentuueously
abandoned the habit on being enabled to re-
eide in q less crowded and more healthy locality,
where they con1d bre2the pure air." On this
theory tue model tonement-house should be
great moral engine. And go it is. In the Pos
body and Durdett-Coutts lodging-houses, in
London, the percentage Of crime Is less than
half as great SO it is among the same class Of
people, pursuing the sams trades, who live i'll
ordinary tenoments. Sir B?nja1nin's idca only
presents another phase Of the great truth we
learn 20 slowly, that the best way to cure crime
is to cure the sickness that causes it. Every
step towards making nun comfortable
is step towards making linn einlees.
You can 7en,ilate hia home and so give
him pu1e air, or you can repeal tue
tariff and so give him what he needs
to buy at what he ought to pny,-the
widely different causes effect, in different de-
gree, the samo end. Abstinence men who be-
lieve in something stronger than moral suasion
eau test Sir Dopiamin's idea by smashing tho
windows Of saloon, some cold night. We havo
no doubt that as tho air went iu the tlpplers
would cone out. So itB truth would be proved
beyond pcradventuro.

The winter Of 1894 haa so far been OF the
mildest character, snd has proved great
blessing to humanity. se1dom has winter been
anticipated with 60 much dread. Never before
hayo there been SO many people out Of employ
1nent. l. large class of persons find their work
close every year with the first heavy frost, or
with such snow as necessarily suspends out
door labor. But this suspension Of work began
this year, from financial causes, at least sixty
days sooner than usual, and hence It was that the
approach Of cold weather WAS looked upon with
more than ordinary anxiety.
Happily, tue weather 80 far has been OF un-
usual mildnesB, and, compared with the last, this
one Gun hardly b. called winter at all. In 1872
there we're severe frosts in October, and stes dy
cold weather, alternating With tremendous and
protracted northwest blaste, ro11inued until lite
in April. For the length Of The teason md gen
ezn severity of the weather it had not been
equaled in this latitude during whole genera-
ton. Up to this day, tue 11th Of January, the
frost has not been equal to the solid freezing Of
Chicago Mver-the thin coating Of ice formed
during one or two nights disappearing the next
day. Whnt outdoor employment has e1-
listed has been continued without Interrupt
ton /; masons and carpenters are able to work at
their occupations, wli1o plasterers and painters
ale, "a usual at work within DOORS Up to with
in few days st least there has been no difficulty
in making excavations for laying new or repair
ing old pipes and drains. The ground has no:
yet frozen much below the surface. As this is
the middle Of January, ne may consider that
one-half the season in which We are exposed to
severe frosts has already passed. The days are
1ensthening, and the sunlight is becoming
warmer. Another fortnight or more Of this
mild weather will disarm the winter Of the great
part Of it's terrors and actual suffering.
In addition to the blessing OF q mild winter,
Chicago Inns also bean blessed with IN e1traor-
dinazy stock Of coal, which Ii selling at greatly
reduced rates. Ia no instance has the favor
ablen=ss of the season been more conspicuously
shown than in the reduced sale and consump-
ton OF coal. 1t ia estimated by coal deal
ers that the consumption Of fuel has
been not much more than half OF what 1t
would hare been in an ordinary winter. Econ
omy in the consumption OF coal has heon ne
cessity, and the weather has permitted it to be
practiced generally, and WITHOUT suffering.
This, in season when coal was never so
abundaot md cheap attests the blessing the
mild weather las been to those Of limited means.
While ne must reasonably expect severe frost
and storms in February, VIC now know TINT they
ton consequent upon such weather will be easily
borne, and for this cannot be too grateful

A misunderstanding Inns occurred between the
holders Of full paid aud unpaid stock n several
railways in this state. The first disagreement
occurred between the two classes in the Gilman,
Clinton 4 Springfield Railrosd. Then the 1ndi-
annapolis, Bloomington l. Western had family
Jar. Then the Springfield Southeastern had
somo of it, and now the st. Louis T. Jacksonville
las touch Of the same. It seems to be breal:-
iue ont like the measles all around. Before
spring there will probably be thousand miles
Of railway in court, to determine who owns tho
neutrality-suspicious. those who paid for their
stock, or those who didn't; and it will be found
in the end that unpaid stock is worth just what
It cost, to-uits ROLLING at Ill.

QUR HORSE.RAnWhY3,

We can alt recall the excitement that prevailed
In Chicago less than ten years ago at the propo-
sition to construct horse-ralway on Lake
hostility was shown to laying track on South
Clark street. But times have changed, and
r1aturer public opinion. now demands that horse
RAILWAYS be constructed On these streets, while
there is a general conviction that the number
and extent Of such railways throughout the
city might bo doubled with great ad-
vantage to public interests aud to the
comfort and convenience OF the people.
It is idle to Say that the City Of Chicago
is bound for ninety-nine years or for ninety-uine
dsys to prevent additional horse-rallways from
being established, and tha: the city is eatopped
from having any lines except such Us the present
companies may choose to furnish Whatever
nav have been the public aversion to such rail-
wayB years ago, they are now recognized as
necessity, without which the public could no
longer live and do business iu Chicago. The
best test that they are no longer regarded as an
injury or M interruption to business is SHOWN
IN tho fact that the people Of no street on Which
a line Is constructed would have it removed I'M
der any circumstances, and is further shown by
the general desire to have additional roads in
various neighborhoods now deprived OF thou,-
During the last year tho existing companies
have slightly increased their accommodations, for
which favor the public are indebted to the omni-
bus opposition rather than to the enterprise of
the hozse-zailway companies. These Increased I'd
cilitiea consist OF q line from Twenty-second
street to Western avenue, Wis State, Van Buren,.
and Clark streets, and line from Madison street
to the North Side. 4 line Oh Clark street, run
ming south to Twelfth, thence <untl the rail-
.-oad tracks hare been removod) south on Dear
born street to Tweutr-sixth street, is desidera-
tum. The Clark street line to the North
Side should run ~ far south as
Twelfth street. There should also be con-
stracted line on Wabash ayenue. from
Thi1tv-uinth street to Lincoln Park. This will
give to the South Division three trunk Iues to
Tventy-.econd street, with extensions, by Cot
taee Grove ayenre, Indiana avenue, and State
and lark Streets to the city limits, in each dj.ec-
tior. and .yo connections with the Moth Dlvi~
zion by Clark and Rush streets. Tha necessity
for these lines ia now admitted By al; and, If lhe
existing compani will not fnrniah thcm' then
let others do so without delay. Considerably
more than half the population Of Chicago reside
LII the West Division, and yet, with the single
exception of through line to TUentJ-secoad
street, in tho South Division, there are no more
fectities and accommodations now than there
we're in 1859. The Madison and Randolph street
lines are tie only trunk lines. From one OF
these the milwaukee, avenue, the Clinton street,

from tbs other the Blue island avenue lne

The brief season Of Italian drama is now at 3
cloRe. Financially, it has not been great sue
cess, but this in part has boon due to errors Of
management Tho first error WAS in the price
OF tickets, which approximnted to tho operate
standard. The Italian dramatic stage, even with
ia not sufficiently attractive to draw Americans
ont at large prices. The only novelty in these
performances is the star. The rest counts for
nothing. The star, however, speaks & language
which is uuinteilgible to his auditors, and
to follow him through the pages Of
badly-trnns1ated ibretto is = painful
effort, which detracts from the interest
of the performance, and, III addition to this,
in story and dramatic construction to Ameri-
caus. The second error of this season has been
that salrini commenced with plays which no one
knew Il he had played Othel1o on Monday
at the close, lie would have Lad the prestige OF
commencing With crowded houses, and his per-
formanccs would have been the talk Of tile
city, and thus have assured Buccess for
the "samson" and "21orte Clvle." Moth
ing contributes SO much to the success Of
season as q crowded house On an opening
night, for people are much more apt to attend
public performances because their neishbors
have been than because the performances are
really excellent. But the season is over noH,
aud it Ia needless 10 hlluda to further erroza.
