A FEW days since we noticed how
promptly the Socialistic issue was met,
and how severely the lawless were
handled. For the valuable service the
country is chiefly indebted to the fine
executive ability and trusty courage of
Mayor Carter Harrison. He knew the
remedy needed, and he did not hesitate
because it was ''heroic treatment"
A certain tribe of Indians had a
brave chief called MAN not Afraid Of
his Horses" Mayor Harrison de-
serves to be called the man
not afraid Of his duties.
His recent course proves that he is not
the least afraid of red mouth ranters,
who preach the doctrine of anarchy.
Many men have all the elements of
greatness, but never have the oppor-
tunity to become great. Mayor Har-
rlson has made the most of the small
chance he has had, and if any serious
outbreak should occur in this country,
he would be one of the trusted
leaders to protect the lives and prop
erty Of the citizens.

whose opinions are worth anything,
not only favor a system Of the widest
and most effective kind, they demand
It. Some Of the best citizens Of this
country were educated in the public

the schools which offer to all a

init them to be closed a moment longer
than Is necessary to prepare suitable
buildings III "hlrh To reopen them.
The wise course t. pursue is to pro.
vide the best houses. The test will
prove cheapest in the long run. Let
them be strong, well ventilated and
conveniently located. They should have
ample room, for the city is growing
rapidly and there will be a steady in.
crease in the school, children. The
Board of Mayor and Aldermen and the
School Board should fully appreciate
the necessities of the occasion and act
promptly. Ii they postpone the mat
ter and fritter away time they will not
be ready to reopen the schools in the
Fall. Such an outcome as that
would almost disgrace them, and be
little short of a disaster to the city.

HERR MosT, the anarchist, spoken
of as being under arrest in New York
City, is one of the most extreme OF
the peculiar class of fanatics with
whom he associates. He advocates a
leveling Of all classes and social grades,
and demands that no man shall ever
be permitted to own a foot of land.

would produce anarchy indeed.
Ia appearance Most is wild

is cut short, almost stands on

drinks and passes his time in poison

Necessity of a New Basis for Ma

New York Herald, 18th.
The object of Mr.. Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, in introducing his resolu-
ton today for turning the %greenbacks
held by law for the redemption of
notes Of notional banks failed, in
liquidation or reducing circulation,
into three per cent bonds, to be held
uncancelle1 in the place of such green
backs, is, he says, not hostility to the
national banking system. But be
hopes, by the discussion which the
resolution will get in the Ways and
Means Committee, in the Treasury
and from national bank men, to make
manifest the necessity for speedily
devising some effective plan for con-
tinuing the national banking system
on a basis which will make it indie
pendent of bonds liable to be called in
at any time and which ought, for tle
good of the country, he thinks, to be
paid off out Of the surplus revenues.
Ee inclines to the belief that it will be
difficult to get down to a correct
revenue system and toa permanently
correct system of inance until all the
debt that Can be paid off is paid and

him. Without the greenback members we
had no majority. keifer'S strong and vic

the party. He was our real leader. To

Justice" in ali article found in this
mornings paper, makes an attack upon
some of our city officials, which we think a
little severe, also makes a reflection upon
our city. which is hardly justifiable when
a comparison is made with other cities. We
simply make this statement in vindication
of our city and in defense of our officers. to
the extent that, in that line of duty. they
are as vigiIant as officers usually are. and
our city no worse than Others. Our police
force in many respects is excellent and we
have many superior officers Oh the force,
yet we have no defense TO offer for them if
the evil to which Justice refers exists 10
the extent which he states. While that
class of offenders are the most difficult in
the world to convict, yet our officers should
be on the alert and the evil could, and
should, is large measure be
wiped out. Justice" makes good point
when he suggests that the fines and pun
ishments suOnld be laid on to the uttermost
provision until the law becomes terror TO
the offender. There is no doubt but that
these houses might be largely diminished.
and the inmates compelled to leave town or
reform. If every officer did his full duty.
and every offender was made to feel the
full penalty of the law.
The wholesome shaking up that Justice"
gives them cannot result in any harm, and
may lead to good. We hope it may.
