What Coal smoke Costs Chicago.

The smoke nuisance has become so
great here that Chicago Is by long odds
the dirtest city in the country, and
prominent business men are urging the
prohibition Of the use of soft coal within
the city limits. There are the most rlgid
prohibitive smoke ordinances here and
endless 50 called smoke consumers, " but
neither seem to have the slightest effect.
1t is claimed that while the abolition OF
soft coal would greatly increase the ex-
penses Of railways ard manufacturers
generally, yet, even from financial
standpoint alone, the city would benefit
from IT,
The head Of q leading dry goods firm
saws merchants are absolutely prohibited
from carving many lines Of delicate
fabrics for which there is ademand here,
as in every large city. Goods which can
be handled in New York, and for which
there should be a liberal market in Chi
cago, are simply inadmissible here for
reason that exposure would mean rum
TO them. The city Is 50 dirty that the
use Of Illinois marble, great quarries OF
which are within a few miles Of Chicago,
has been almost entirely abandoned, and
thousands Of dollars are spent every year
in the transportation Of building material
from various parts Of the country where
the product IS Of color that will not
show dirt so readlly.-Thlcago Cor. New

old citizen and one of RichmOnd's best
known confectioneries. died at his resi-

Mr.. Petri came TO Richmond from Nor

turned over on his left hand, burning II
terribly. He was taken out to the
Hospital OF 81. Francis de Sales, then on
Brook avenue where his injuries grew
so serious that the entire arm had 10 be
amputated above the elbow.
After his recovery, Mr.. Petri entered
busin, 81 for himself as confectioneT
and dealer in fruit, and in this he has
continued ever since, amassing quite a
fortune. lie was a man universally
polite and Of good manners, fact TO
Which his success is, no doubt, largely
due.
At time of his death he was almost 50
years of age. The funeral will take
place from his late residence this after

CHARGES AGAINST oonNo1LMEN.


The City Council did right in demanding
an investigation of the charges and ~insinua-
tons Of corruption in connection with the
contract for lighting the city. Councilman
were fully justified in their indignation at the
indiscriminate charges and the wholesale inn
putations upon their honesty that have been
made. These insinuations have been printed
day after day, carefully avoiding an action
able form, and every effort has been made to
give them currency in the community. Their
effect has been to charge improper motives on
every member of the Council who differed
will the paper making the charges in regard
to the best method of lighting the city, and
to hold them up by name as officially and per-
sonally dishonest. No honest man ought to
rest quietly under such imputaticns. Men in
private life or in public Office may differ on
questions of policy or rs 10 the best means of
reaching particular ENDS, ard beth sides may
be honest in their views. No man is justified
in calling another a scoundrel or imputing
wrong motives to him because he
chooses to hold different views on
a question of public policy. Still less
has a newspaper the right to give wider cur
rency to such charges unless it can furnish
positive proof that it is both omniscient and
infallible. Members Of the Council are as
wise and honest as the average of men, doubt
less, and the presumption is that in the mat
ter of lighting the city they did what they
thought was best under all the circumstances.
The Journal said at the time, and still be-
lieves. that they made a wise and prudent
contract. 1t resulted in a material saving to
the city, and, without making a longtime
contract, secured a satisfactory test and trial
of the electric light that will enable the city
to act advisedly and intelligently when the
matter comes up again. There will be mate
rial changes in electric street-lighting during
the next year or two, for better or worse, and
it will be much easier to decide later what the
true interests Of the city are than it is at
present. Meanwhile, we congratulate the
Council on its manly action in demanding an
investigation of the charges. Let the inquiry
not prove a farce.

MR.. M'KINLEY,s ADDRESS.


Congressman Mckinley delivered an adj
dress at the Georgia Chautauqua yesterday,
which is printed in this issue of the Journal.
There is cause for congratulation that the con-
temptible conduct of Senator Colquitt and
Representative Stewart did not succeed in
preventing Mr.. Mckinley from going to
Georgia to speak. His address was a COM
plete antidote to the recent one of Mr.. Bynum.
The latter praised free trade while the former
defended protection. Mr.. Mckinley has
made a thorough study of the tariff question,
and no man in the country handles it better.
His speech yesterday, full of sound argument
and supported by the facts and figures of CON-
mercial history, was a complete vindication Of
the policy of protection. 1t should be care
fully studied by every person who wishes to
be we'll informed on the subject. OF its many
striking passages, we call attention particu-
larly to the one in which he disposes of the
free-trade argument that free foreign raw ma
terial is needed to secure foreign mar
kets. Mr.. Mckinley shows that we already
have free raw material. Under our present
law 80 per cent. of all duties paid on foreign
raw material imported for manufacturing
purposes are refunded when the manufactured
goods are exported. Thus, if a manufacturer
pays duties amounting to $1,000 on foreign
wool, or other raw material, and converts it
into finished goods, he is entitled, if be sells
the goods in a foreign market, to a rebate of
5000 on the duties previously paid. This is
practically free trade in foreign raw material
so far as foreign markets are concerned. But
Mr.. Mckinley makes the point, heretofore
made by the Journal, that the foreign market
is of very small consequence to us compared
with the home market. IL we take care of
the American market the foreign markets
will take care of themselves. We do not
want to lose the substance in reaching after
the shadow. Mr.. Mckinley has given the
Georgia people something to think about. and
we are greatly mistaken if his speech. yester-
day does not lead very many intelligent
Southerners to repudiate the party of free
trade and opposition to American industry.
It will, at least, start the ball to rolling
which will inallv break nthe solid South

Senator William E.. Chandler was interviewed
in Concord, recently, in regard to the political
outlook. He said: THE chances are exceed
ingly favorable for Harrison and Morton. From
every State In the North and from many OF tho
border States we have information that Demo-
Gratis are abandoning Cleveland and committing
themselves for Harrison. In some places in
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut there
is almost a stampede and panic. On the other
hand, We hear OF no recruits for Cleveland,
except now and then a stupid mugwump. half
iedged at the election of 1884. who at last has
crept out of his shell, and began to peep for
free-trade and for Cleveland. With hardly an
exception the current is all one way-toward
the success OF Harrison and Morton. 1t cannot
be checked. and victory will come. Indeed, the
prospects are SO good that herein is our greatest
danger. If over-confdeuce sets in, and when
the Democrats rally for q desperate struggle to
retain national power, We are unprepared to
meet them. they may turn the tide and wrest
the victory from our grasp In the closing hours
of the canvass, as they did in 1884"
