It is among the most significant facts re-
lating to the election Of city officers on
Tuesday next, that the Socialists, or, in other
words, the Communists, have in nomination
candidate for Mayor, City Treasurer, City
Clerk, have a candidate in each ward for
Alderman, and have full ticket in South
Chicago, West Chicago, and North Chicago,
for Collector, Assessor, Supervisor, and
Clerk. They have sought no alliance with
any other party, and propose to elect their
own candidates, SO far rs they are able.
We do not remember that any third party
has ever before had confidence enough
in its own strength to warrant it in placing
full ticket in nomination at city election
in Chicago. The members of this party
speak freely and hopefully Of being able to
elect not only several of the ward and town
officers, but even their candidate for Mayor,
and that with the prestige of success at this
election they intend to have five candidates
for the Circuit Court at the June election
It is striking Illustration Of the anti
American principles and policies as well as
Of the membership Of this Communistio
combination, that, in the whole list Of cam
didates, from Mayor to Town Clerk, there is
not one American. They are all persons of
alien birth, who, in an American city, in an
American State, and under the National
Government Of the United States, propose
TO elect City Government composed ex-
clusively Of persons Of alien birth, many of
+1,o Err 1,ch with
difficulty. Some time before the War SEN
ator Sou1E, in speech in New Orleans,
claimed that the government Of that city
would never be satisfactory until the
"Yankees were driven out,-there being
too much Yankeeism in New Orleans"
These Socialists .,seem to have the
same opinion as to Chicago. In
their estimation there is too much Ameri-
canism in Chicago, and hence these men,
collected here from all parts Of the world,
speaking almost every language but the Ian
guage of this country, have united to expel
from the government and control of this
American city Of half million of people,
aud one of the great commercial metropoli-
tan cities of the country, the American
portion Of the population. Outside OF the
United States, such an extraordinary event
as this was never witnessed. It is sig
nifcant of the aims and ends Of this alien
organization, and it is notice to the people
of this city of :ae folly Of division on
trifing questions, when IN enemy to
everything that is peculiarly American and
national thus confidently and dedantly chal-
lenges d struggle at tho polls.

4 peculiarly Of the "American system ="
is that it provides innumerable obstacles to
the accomplishment Of any particular pur-
pose about which there is q unanimous agree-
ment among all who are concerned. The
effort to secure decent and proper approaches
to the Chicago parks has been no exception
to the rule. The desirability Of such ap-
proaches has been universally admitted ever
since the parks have been worth visiting,
and it has been manifest all along that they
can only be secured by placing some one
street in each Division Of tho city under the
management and subject to the rules Of the
Park Commissioners, as in the case Of the
regular park bouleyards and driveways.
Among the measures urged upon the Cook
County delegation by the people Of Chicago
was bill enabling the Common Council to
delegate to the Park Commissioners tho
proper authority over such driveways, and
tie bill was presented in the early days Of
the session. There was apparently no oppo-
sition to it, and yet it was considerable
time in dragging its way through the SEN
ate. When it passed the Senate at last,
the vote in favor OF it was all but unani-
nous. Then it found its way to the House,
where it was referred to Committee. There
seems to have been disposition to streugle
the bill in the Committee, but, after some
heroic efforts and very decided popular
protest, it was rescued from the Committee.
Tint was two or three weeks ago, and then;
after it was reported to the House, it was
again lost to sight till Friday, when The
TRIBUNE correspondent, after diligent search,
found that it had been in the hands Of the
Public Printer. Now it is again in the hands
Of the House, which has ordered, it to third
reading; when it shall come up for final pas
sage the vote in the House will probably be
as unanimous as in the Senate, and yet it
will have taken about four months to secure
q simple concession to which nobody openly
urged q single objection. ..~.
It is to be hoped that the means Of delay
have all been exhausted in the case of tho
proposed park-ways, and that the bill will
become law this week. There is more
proaches than any of the. others, and the
authority Of the law is needed ut once, so
that the Council may take Immediate action
aud the Park Commissioners may proceed to
put Michigan avenue into proper shapefor use
this coming summer. Spring seems to have
fairly set in at last, and there will probably
be several days every week from now on till
next winter when the parks will contribute
to the enjoyment and health Of the Chicago
people, if there be streets through which
they can be reached without jeopardy to life
and limb. The improvement Of Michigan
avenue may be made quickly, for. the work
of filing and grading has already been done,
and the residents of the entire South Di-
vision will encourage and facilitate the
progress Of the improvement by every

A1r. FARwEn1, the Comptroller, is busl-
ness man who has honored the office he
holds. Think OF his removal to give place to
SAM WALLER, Of Kentucky, or O. G. z.
HOLDEN, of odorous memory But HAR~
R1soN is a Kentuckian. and SAM WALKER
is his friend aud is needy. He is as
reputable q man as the recently chosen
Secretary of the Democratic Senate Of
the United States, and has q better rec
ord than the lately chosen Sergea9f Lot
Arms of that body. But taxpayers Yould
probably feel little nervous at the idea Of
placing Sam WALLER in charge Of the city's
funds say half or three-quarters of mill
ion dollars. These are only few Of the
Offices to be filed. Corporation Counsel BoS-
FIELD would have to give place to CHARLEY
CAMERON or J. r: Doo1rT1E, Jr. With such
changes of heads Of departments as CARTER
HARRISON would probably make, the City
Government, in sir months, would be in the
condition from which Mayor HEATH rescued
it in 1876. If HARRISON were in fact rs
respectable as is claimed, he could not save
the city from reign of bum1nerism as dis
astrous as that Of the Co1y1N regime. But
he would not try to save it, because his am-
bition reaches for the Gubernatoril office,
and an ambitious Democrat is always the
tool Of the most disreputab1e elements in his
party. The people Of Chicago will deserve
to suffer if they oonfde power to CARTER
HARRISON, but they will suffer more than
they deserve Of outrage and robbery.

The nominations for Aldermen are now
complete, and we give full list of the Re-
pubIcans, Democrats, and Socialists. Owing
to the inability Of the Republicans and Dem
oc1ats to agree upon the same candidates in
the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Fourteenth, and
Fifteenth Wards, there is a probability that
the Socialists will elect their candidates in
those wards. In the Sixteenth Ward both
parties have united, and Mr.. SoHwE1sTHA1,
the present excellent Alderman, may be re-
elected. There are several independent can
didates. We have c1assed Mr.. GoopspEED,

The Joint Committee of the Legislature
to whom was intrusted the task Of making a
revision of the Revenue law. has completed
its labors. The amendments and changes
which it recommends are contained In three
bills, which will shortly be presented to both
Houses for their rejection or approval. The
Committee has as far as possible avoided the
7e1ed questions, or rather pet hobbies, OF
some Of the solons, who. were clamoring for
the imposition of tar on tho gross
earnings Of telegraph and express companies,
and the so-called ratable taxation of mort
cages and other liens. This was done to
escape the opposition which the introduc-
ton Of these measures would undoubtedly
incite. It is, however, not unlikely that the
recommendations of the Committee will bo
ridden to death with amendments and delays;
and that, after all, the work of drawing up
comprehensive revenue Law will have to be
turned over to special Commission.

illustrates the peculiar misfortunes attending
all plots laid by the Bourbons, who are
now, as they have been many times before,
confounded by their own arguments and

The Republican party has put up IN excellent
set Of candidates for the Common Council this
year. The following candidates ought to BE-
elected without the least difficulty:
First Ward-ARrHun DIXON.

Third Ward-JouN Ii. CLARK.
Fourth Ward-AMos GRAGSIs.
Eleventh Ward-GEoEGE B. SWIFT.
Twelfth Ward-JosEpH D. EVERETT. =.
Thirteenth Ward-H. ". THoMrsoS-
Eighteenth Ward--A. L. CuErLArN.
This is not half the number to be elected, and
does not fairly represent the Republican
strength. The Republican candidates in several
other wards, particularlyin in those in which more
than one Democratic candidate is running, can
and should be elected BY an extra effort At
any rate, it nehooves the Republicans to stick to
their colors in every ward, and all the time.
Let there be no more Independent foolishness.

There is an uncomfortable uncertainty so far
Ms candidates are concerned. rs 10 the action OF
the Senate caucus tomorrow. The friends Of
Henry VI. Watterson claim that he has eighteen
senators pledged to. vote for him Tor Secretary
of the Senate. This Is not enough to nominate.
and the other candidates assert that Wattorson
Is not the second choice OF any Of the majors.
and that after a first ballot he will lose votes.
The prominent comnetiors Of Watterson are
Dennis Of Maryland Burch Of Tennessee. and
Stcnger Of Pennsylvania. The latter will prob
ably prove n dirk horse in this race.
The contest for tho Scrgeant-at-A Arms Is be-
tween Col. L. .. Washington OF Virginia and
