entitled to proper consideration by the
common council. In every system of
government there must be responsible
head. The mayor of city is charged with
an oversight of the entire administration Of
the municipal government. AS long as he
is held responsible for the exaction of the
laws, there should be some power lodged in
his hands to secure their enforcement. Elk
perience has proved that no more effective
means of securing the enforcement of Ii
cense laws ever prevailed than to grant to an
executive officer the power to revoke the IL
cense whenever the privilege Is abused. 1t is a
power that puts the holder of the license on
his good behavior AS long as he knows
the power is lodged in the hands of an hon
est executive, who possesses sound discretion
and has the moral courage to perform his
duty, there is very little danger of the license
privilege being abused. And if it is, the
remedy is with the mayor, who can at
once revoke the license and end the trouble.
1t is to the interest of good government
that this power should remain in the hands
of the mayor, in order that the community
may be protected. 1t is also manifestly to
the interest of respectable liquor vendors
who desire to be protected against disrepu-
table competitors. Under the circum-
stances it is desirable that, after giving the
mayors reasons for his disapproval due
consideration, the council should amend
the ordinance so that it may receive his
assent and at the same time commend itself
to the good judgment of the members of
the council.

A GOOD TARTFF SERMON.

Mr.. WATTERsoN takes the repeal of duty
on Quinine as text for a most excellent
sermon in favor of tariff reduction. The
duty on quinine was repealed in 1879, in
the face of declarations from the manufac-
turerS that such repeal would not lower the
price to the consumer, while it would de-
stroy business which gave employment to
400 men. Both declarations have been fall
sified. Consumers get quinine at material
reduction, and none of the manufacturers
have been ruined. 1t is estimated we use
in this country about 100000 ounces of
quinine yearly. Under the tariff it had
been as high as IS per ounce. 1t is now
rs cents. In the six years since the tariff
was taken off there has been an estimated
saving of SIS, 600, 900. At the time the repeal
was made, few Philadelphia firms had
control of the market. In an appeal for a
continuance of the duty, Mr.. ROBBINS,
speaking in behalf of the manufacturers,
said: ''We shall be very much hampered,
because England has spent large sums of
money in the establishment of plantations
in Ceylon and Jamaica for the cultivation
of cinchonidia bark. The plantations in
Ceylon are said to contain 100, 600, 900
trees" Referring to this statement, the
Courier-J ournal says: ''When MI. Rob-
BINS says we are hampered by England's
benefcence, he means the five man.
ufacturers of quinine; he does not
mean the people of the United States.
With free trade, we are blessed by Eng
lands experiments. With tariff, we would
have shut ourselves out from receiv-
ing the full benefits of England'S success.
We would have hampered $4,000, 900 per-
sons that five might be free. AS it is, we
are receiving equal good with the people
of England from their investments. This
is the second good result of the repeal of the
tariff. The history of quinine and the
quinine taxis perfect demonstration of the
benefcent effects of free trade theories when
practically applied. The evil prophesied
by interested persons has never come upon
us. The good claimed has exceeded our
most sanguine expectations. We are
flooded by the cheap goods of England
She taxes her people to plant trees in Cey-
Ion, andwe share in the harvests. 1t is no
great hardship to us. Surely we can stand
such floods if England can They en-
rich, they do not impoverish the land. If
England has any more pent up curses of
this character, we ought to do something to
release them, and, perhaps, like the deal
ings of Providence:
"These clouds we so much dread
Are big with mercy and may break
In blessings On our bead.'''

How Huntington Lives.

Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. Huntington, the railroad millionaire, is
convinced that to his habits in life is due his
uniformly good health. To his health is due
his even temper and perfect mental poise,
and to the latter is due his great business
success. Mr.. Huntington was u farmers son
and practically started in life without dol
lar. To-day his fortune is estimated at $50, 0O0,-
600. His home in New York is at No. IS Park
avenue. Mr.. Huntington invariably retires
at 10 o'clOck; he has his breakfast at o clock,
his dinner at l o'clock and his supper at $3.50
o'clock in the evening. He has never taken
to the idea Of an evening dinner. Business
keeps Mr.. Huntington downtown during the
day, and his dinner may be characterized as
lunch. 1t rarely consists of anything except
q piece of roast beef with bread and butter,
vegetables and weak tea. Mr.. HuntingtOn's
breakfast consists OF steak or chop, baked
potato, bread and butter and tea; his supper
is made Of cold meats, bread and butter and
tea. He never drinks coffee, but tea he drinks
at every meal. Green vegetables he is ex-
tremely fond of, and always eats them in sea-
son. The vegetable that he likes best is the
tomato; he eats it as long as he can obtain it,
He always wants his potato baked.

In explanation of the failure of the police
to interrupt the prize fight at Merriam Park
Sunday afternoon, Chief of Police CLARK
calls our attention to the fact that the city
council has not yet provided police regula-
tions for that portion Of the city which was
brought into the city limits by the extension
act passed by the last legislature. The citi-
zens of the new district have not applied to
the council for police force as they have
right to do under the law, and consequently
no action has been taken by the city govern
ment to supply them in this respect. Not
withstanding this fact, Chief CLARK says that
he would have had a sufficient number Of po-
licemen on the ground to have prevented the
fight if he had known that it was going to
occur The criticisms of yesterdays GLOBE
were made on the supposition that the police
authorities had knowledge of the occurrence,
as it was announced to take place in our Sum
days issue. If the police officers would read
the daily papers they would learn great
many things about what is going on in the
city of which they seem to have no knowl-
edge.

MERITED SEVERITY.

The sentences imposed by the criminal
court of Baltimore upon the two convicted
wife-beaters, recently tried in that court,
call for the universal approval and will
doubtless bear salutary fruit in the future.
In both cases. in addition to term OF inn
prisonment, the sentence OF the court was
that the convicted criminals should be
whipped at the public whipping post-one
OF them to receive fifteen lashes and the
other twenty. Some tender-hearted per-
sons revolt at this penalty because they
think that the lash is cruel and degrading.
And so it is. Every one must feel a sincere
pity for the wretch who is to be whipped.
But when it is remembered that severity to
this class of criminals is mercy to the poor
unhappy wives who are made the victims
of their brutality, we at once perceive the
justice of the penalty. The terror of the
lash makes profound impression. AS a
general rule wife-beaters are towards, and
towards always shudder at the idea of get
ting hurt. The fear of the lash will act as
check upon rufianly men and will act as
a constant restraint upon their cruel and
brutal impulses. Every cut OF the lash
on some wife-Deater's back may
save some defenseleSs woman a
blow. The man MEYERS, who was
sentenced to receive twenty lashes, brutality
beat his delicate and helpless wife almost
out of the semblance of humanity, for no
other apparent reason than to crafty his
innate cruelty and beastliness. The evil
dence was that her cries and appeals, her
diSfgured features, her delicate condition,
had no effect upon his utterly depraved ma
ture, but as if each shrek of pain was a
pleasant diversion to him he repeated blow
after blow until the poor w0man's features
| were bruised and bleeding mass of quiv-
ering pulp. The only just sentence that
could be imposed upon such vile creature
is good flogging. He feels a pride in be-
| ing tough and imprisonment is no terror
to him. The only effective appeal to his
feelings is through his hide. And so the
| judge thought, for when he pronounced
sentence, he added, 81 hope the
lash swill be well laid on" The prisoner
himself evinced the first exhibition of weak
ening when he heard the lash sentence
added to that of Imprisonment. His coun-
tenance fell and in nervous way said,
1.-THE lashes are too much and don't be-
| lieve can stand them"
Flogging may not improve the morals OF
the fe-beater, but it will protect the help
less woman who is his wife. One good
thrashing at the whipping post is sure to
break him of the habit of beating his wife.
1t would be good thing to have the Mary
land law in force in every state. For very
soon the crime of wife-beating would cease
| to exist

out any more commissions on tickets east
from Chicago, was signed yesterday morn
ing by Mr.. Ruggles of the Michigan Cen
trail road, he being the last to add his name
to the list. The news was telegraphed 10
st. Paul, and, though the local scalpers
were expecting the move, it was neyerthe-
less surprise to them. 1t affects st. Paul
and Minneapolis brokers seriously. Here
tofore they have been selling
tickets to New York and other points III the
East at lower rate than the ticket could
be sold by the company. The scalpers sofa
to Chicago and then gave an order on their
scalper in Chicago On the ticket to Chi
cago they received 81 commission, and the
Chicago scalper, who received $3 on 1rst-
class ticket to New York, gave the st. Paul
broker 80 for the SALE This debars scalpers
from selling from ST. Paul to points east OF
Chicago, and is one of the most important
moves in the passenger business that has
been made in some time.

TAX CONTRA STS.


The following statistics have been pub
lished to illustrate the contrast between the
cost of governing American and European
cities. Cincinnati and Bristol, England,
have nearly the same population. Cincin-
natl had municipal debt at the census of
1880 of S22, 315, 30S, avera ging $S4.25 per
capita, yearly expense of So, 100, 522, a
S23. 80 per 81, 900 of capital value, police
force costing $271, 800, and a fire depart
ment costing 1928, 1876. Bristol had debt
of 50, STA, 1854, averaging S13.47 per head,
an annual expense of S1,O43, $50, a tax
rate of 5000 per $1,000 annual value, a
police force costing $154, 524 and fire SER
vice costing So, 702.
Brooklyn, with a population of 62S, 900,
has funded debt of S21, AT, 629, averag-
ing S34. IS per capita, an annual expense of
IS, 692, 712, a taxation of 1875 per $1,000 of
capital value, police department costing
STA, 600, and fire department costing
S409, GA. Liverpool, England, with pop
ulation of 500, 900, has funded debt of
$12, 979, 671, averaging S22.S1 per capita,
an annual expense of So. 149, TIT, taxa
ton of $21. IA On annual value. and police
department costing 1856, S22.
Pittsburg, with population of TIA, 600,
has funded debt of So, SS5, 4O7, averaging
S51.OS, a yearly expense of SO. sos, 522, a po-
lice department costing S140, OOO and fire
department costing S146, 900. Hull. Eng
land, with population of 1S1, 900, has a
funded debt of 50. s21, 1913, an annual ex-
pense of S676, 1913, averaging S17OS on an
nual value, and a police department cost
ing S1S1, 500.
1t will be observed that in American cit
les the cost of taxation is averaged upon
the total capital value, or market price of
property, and in English cities it is averaged
on the annual value or income from property.
Oldham, with population of 9,O71,
has an annual expense of 1871, 216, averag-
ing $40 per $1,000 of annual value, and
Providence, r. L., with population of
lie, 557, has an annual expense of 81, $780,
565, averaging S12.sO per 81, 900 of capital
value. In the English cities compared the
taxation is rated at $500 per head, and
in the American cities at S14.18 per head.

THE LICENSE ORDrNANcE.

The two principal reasons presented by
Mayor RICE for withholding his approval
of the license ordinance passed by the city
council are worthy the consideration of that
BODY. First. he objects to the ordinance
because it limits the saloon licenses to those
who now have license or to their assignees.
This feature is regarded by the mayor as
partsking of the features Of monopoly.
But the most serious objection he urges is
against that section which depriyes the
mayor OF the right TO revoke licenses. 1t
must strike those who are interested in good
city government and particularly in secur-
iliss a proper regulation OF the saloon bust
ness, that the objection urged by the mayor
to ti.o secoad section is well founded and is

for, and the course which is resorted to by
that sheet to injure Mayor Rice and prejudice
the people against him is being strongly CEN
sured by the state press, regardless Of party
views. In reading the columns of that paper
one could but infer that St. Paul was going
to the bad, that gambling dens, houses of
prostitution, ETC., were to be run on the
s'wide-open" plan. 1t is entirely unnecessary
to say that all this is stoutly denied by the
mayor. We can't see why it is that a sheet
which has the prestige that the p. P. claims
to have should be eternally ibeling some
