The Commune In Chicago.

A Chicago despatch gives US an account Of a
picnic celebration which was held in that
city on Sunday by the Communists at which
"a number Of incendiary speeches were
made" but emo definite action taken in refer
ence to their future course" In q country as
free as America, where we have Mormons and
Oneida communities and Indian rings, we
can tolerate almost any form Of political
opinion. If our citizens choose to become
Communists they have perfect right to do
So 80 long as their theories are restrained
within the limits Of the law. AT the same
timo there is nothing more puzzling than to
account for the Commune society in a coun-
try Ike ours None Of the conditions that
have generated Commune ideas in Europe
exist here. If any man is poor in America it
il his own fault Here arc all the oppor-
tunities for Advancement, for earning liyeli-
hood, for obtaining the highest prize in the
race Of life. II a community becomes
too densely populated there is the
vast Western territory in which the
surplus population may receive lands from
the government and found their own home
steads We have no CONSUMPTION laws to
compel every citizen upon reaching mans
estate to give the freshest and best years Of
his life to the army. We have no threats Of
impending war to disturb industry and pre-
vent our national development We have no
religious controversies to revive old passions
and rend society to its foundation. Com
munism, as it is protested in France even by
the best men in the Commune, by those sin
cere fanatics who really believe in 1t as a prin-
ciple and who deplore the extravagances and
crimes Of the movement in 1871, is impossible
in America as movement against imperial
ism. il would be curious to know upon what
ground our Communistic agitators in Chicago
rest their claims. We presume, however,
that it is simply fashion, desire to initiate
the Old World another form Of maintaining
the relations between this country and Eu-
rope, and that il is as harmless 10 reality as
the professions on the 18th Of July in men,
DRY Of King William, or on st. Patrick's Day
in memory Of the patron saint OF Ireland.
AT the same time there is this thought
which recurs to as whenever we hear Of these
communists E9OGihllSLss VI GAtIelutly
movements on the part OF our foreign fellow
citizens: Is il wise for these gentlemen, when
they come to make their home with US and to
accept our citizenship, to foster the prejudices
and passions Of the Old World2 What adj
vantage Is to be gained By O picnic in Chicago
in favor Of Communism, or a parade on the
18th Of July in memory Of Dutch prince,
who governed an English kingdom two hum
dred years ago? What possible sympathy
can VIC have with the agitations which
prompted Tic Revolution in France or the
ambition Of the Prince Of Orange? Would it
not b well Tor our foreign fellow citizens,
when they como TO Us, to be Americans in
sentiment and ia speech and in political feel
ing as well as citizenship Can they not fnd
inspiration enough in the history Of the
country they have adopted to make them
remember Of their old homes only that which

almost continuous village along the line OF
the Harlem Railroad for distance of eight
or ten miles. Third avenue is the line Of
greatest travel Of any ia the city, as is proved
10y the enormous business of the horse rail-
road on that avenue as well as by the density
Of the population which spreads out on both
sides OF it throughout its whole length
Here, If anywhere, q rapid transit road
would Immediately carry passengers enough
to make the road profitable. There i no
other route which would possess half the ad-
vantages in the eyes Of capitalists, or on
which they would feel half as safe in invest
ing their money. The authority Of the
commissioners TO select this route is I'M
questionable, and the reasons in its favor
that if it is not adopted it will be because
the Third Avenue Horse Car Company find
means Of influencing the commissioners.
The road should run near the residences Of
the great body 81 the people who want to use
it. and on Third avenue it would accom-
modate twice the number that it would on
any other possible route. The success Of
rapid transit depends on offering sufficient
inducements to capitalists, and it is idle to
expect to overcome their hesitation by laying
out any route on the west side, or any other
than Third avenue on the east side. This is
the selection which the public viii demand Of
the commissioners, who cannot make any
other without laying themselves open to the
suspicion of having been influenced, either
directly or indirectly, BY the wealthy corpora
ton with whose business q rapid transit road
on Third avenue would interfere.

what should BE Done with the Con-
tumaciOus Aldermen!

The presence Of the republican minority in
the Board Of Aldermen is regarded as adyan-
tageous to the interests Of the city, inasmuch
as it affords o check to craftsmanship and an
opportunity for the discussion and criticism
OF such measures as may DO proposed by the
majority. This is the only consideration
upon which it would be justifable to legis-
late into Office and clothe with the powers Of
members of the Common Council men who
fail to receive majority Of the votes Of their
constituents and who are not elected by the
people The minority representation" does
the wrong Of depriUng the electors Of their
choice in order to accomplish the good Of
allowing the minority the privilege Of having
voice in matters of government in which all
are concerned. When the republican Alder
men, only two Of whom were elected by their
constituents, break the rules of the Board,
defy its power, insult its dignity and then
absent themselves from its meetings with the
avowed purpose Of interrupting the business
of the government, they not only emulate the
worst features Of Tammany rowdyism, but
bring the principle Of minority representation
into contempt.
The Common Council has power under the
charter to compel observance Of its rules and
the presence of it's members at its meetings.
One Of the republican Aldermen, Mr. South
worth, was not in the chamber when the vote
on the resolution recommending return to
the old pay Of the city laborers was taken,
and is not, therefore, in contempt, as are his
associates who evaded the issue by contu-
maciously refusing to vote. But he absented
himself from the last meeting Of the Board,
and is announced as uniting with his asso-
ciates in their attempt to disorganize the city
government. The duty Of the Board is plain.
II should send its Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest
the insubordinate members at its next meet
ing, if they should persist in their revolution
airy conduct, bring them before the Board
severely reprimand those who are in contempt
and compel them to vote IN accordance with
the rules on all questions on which they are
not excused If they are unable to enforce
the powers given them by the law they are
worthless as public body and will be held
in contempt by the whole people.

The Potato Bug.

The potato bug advances with terrific
rapidity and is 50 Unsuitable in his appetite
that to-day we surrender him leaf OF the
HERALD, where he will be found as he is in
New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Our correspondents at Port Jervis, Albany,
Burlington City, Philadelphia, Plttsburg and
other places have made careful and accurate
reports Of the ravages Of this insect, the
dangers with which the crops are threatened
and the means used to avert their destruction.
The potato is the most important of all our
cultivated vegetables and the bug which at
tacks it commits a deliberate and unjustifable
assault upon every dinner table from the highest
to the lowest in the land He is the sworn
enemy Of boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes,
fried potatoes. Saratoga fried chips, stewed
potatoes, potato cakes, potato salads,
Lyonnaise potatoes, roast potatoes, potato
croquettes, cold potatoes, sweet potatoes
and al the countless forms into which
that useful and protean esculent trans
forms itself The bug equally threatens the
Injuries OF the rich and the necessities Of the
poor. We might as well almost have the bug
upon our tables as in our fields yet there he
IS now, by millions upon millions, an army
more dangerous to tie American farmer than
the hosts of Xerxes were to Greece.
The potato bug, as will be shown by our
full reports, extends over a vast range Of the
richest agricultural region Of the United
States, and does not content himself only
with deyouring the potato vines, but has
Just as sweet tooth for tomato vines,
egg plants and similar delicacies Of
our summer In many districts he
has laid the land waste for miles. But,
happily, this little monster does not have it
all his own way. Our farmers fight him
with the determination which gives no quar-
tiers to an enemy which will give no quar-
ter. The methods adopted are described
in our letters, which will supply the agri-
cultural reader with a fund Of very interest
ing and important information

Tho Police.

We have already spoken In terms Of COM
mendation of the courage Of the police Off
GERS who had severe contest with party of
''roughs'' on ''Sebastopol,' in Third avenue.
The only remaining considerations are the
facts that in the very face Of 'the best police
force in the world such place as ''Sebasto.
pol should exist at all, and that a gang OF
thieves should have the courage to meet this
model police force in hand to hand fight in
the open day. ALI this is only another owl
dence Of the impunity allowed to the criminal
classes 50 far as punishment is concerned and
the uselessness Of the Police Department liz
serving the ends of justice. The other day
we asked whether the police of this city are
blackmailers and since we put the question We
have seen the remarkable spectacle Of Police
Commissioner trying to prevent an answer by
an attempt to make the Investigation
80 general as to render it practically
useless. And now we see a number of
policemen openly resisted by gang OF thieves
in their own stronghold, maintained in de-
iance Of public authority and the general
security. Only the personal courage of tho
officers prevented the thieves from having
their own way and making the administra-
ton Of justice impossible. Thus we are con-
fronted by double danger-the demoraliza-
ton Of the police for the corrupt purposes Of
the men who command it and the supremacy
Of the dangerous classes. Not only are panel
and gambling houses kept open under the
auspices of police captains, but burglars and
thieves find in some of these such efficient
guardians that they are able to commit crime
with impunity. A party Of pickpockets are
able to "work" street car before the eyes of
the conductor, certain that he dare not ask
the protection of the police, and the streets
are becoming more and more unsafe. The
whole police force needs overhauling. AS q
mere measure Of public security the corrupt
and inefficient men must be weeded out of the
service, and we call upon General Smith and
such of the Police Commissioners as are dis
posed to do their duty to 50 remodel the de-
partment as to free it from the dangerous
elements which are destroying its useful
ness

TIE BEECHER TRIAL was enlivened yester-
day by O sensation by which momentary
glimpse was obtained of the mysteries which
arc supposed to be beneath the sur
face. A juryman took the extraordi-
nary course of asking the Judge to
instruct counsel to make no more remarks
about attempts to corrupt the jury. 1t was
an unwise act, for Judge Nelson may be de-
pended upon to protect the jury without
prompting. But Mr.. Beach did not
shrink from the position into which
he was thus forced, but exclaimed
that he was ready to prove the fact that the
jury had been approached. With his usual
good sense Judge Nelson ended this scene by
deciding that the charge Of tampering with
