in southern Indiana, says: 'sThe surprising
part of the business is that the authorities
should let this sort of lawlessness go on month

have very little sand or else very queer

Ex-MAYoR CARTER HARRISON. of Chicago.
who is now travelling around the world, had the
privilege OF seeing some beautiful Hindoo women
with their faces uncovered by wells. This sight
to tho normally constituted Chicago man would
be altogether Measurable, but il affected Mr..
Harrison differently, and with the Hindooa'
beauties as his text, he falls into the following
strain of philosophical reflection
'All were pretty, three very beautiful, and
one of perfection Of style which began to make
me unhappy. A wonderfully beautiful woman
always makes me feel thus | do not know
why. q beautiful horse; do not wish to
ride or drive IT. see splendid house; ] do
not wish TO possess is or live in it. see spark
ling gems; never wish to wear them. do sim
cerely enjoy prosperous mans happiness. /
do not envy man his beautiful wife. But /
cannot realize that any man is good enough to
be the possessor of perfectly beautiful woman.
She is something which instinctively | feel
should be beyond the reach of any man. and yet
she il not; very probably she is not beyond the
reach of a very poor stick of man. She may
be beautiful. but Is always fool enough TO give
herself 20 miserable piece Of masculine clay;
whereas she is something to SO perfect that
she should be enshrined in her own individu-
atty. do not want her; but do not want
anyone else TO have her. !"
This indicates very reprehensible dog-in-the-
manger spirit on the part of the ex-Mayor and
may iniure his prospects with Chicago voters in
case he aspires to further political honors The
Chicago man will think twice before he assiRts
to place in authority one who may assume auto
cratic power and decree that every comely Chi
cago woman shall "enshrne herself in her own
individuality" whether Chicago will

THE LATEST RING OUTRAGE.

The world moves. From inaggoty butter
to oleomagarine 10 progress. 1t represents
the slow growth Of reform and the gradual
evolution of honesty in the breasts of Demo
cratic ringsters Two years ego, when it was
discovered that, among other outrages prac-
ticed on the inmates of the Insane Hospital,
they were being fed on maggoty butter, the
whole State rang with indignant protest.
Legislative investigation corroborated the
charge and located the infamy Of the business
where SO many others have been located, on
the Harrison Sullivan ring The maggoty
butter business was broken up and the pub
lie congratulated itself that the ringsters had
been scared into a senblance of decency. It
was only semblance. They simply changed
their base from maggoty butter to oleomarga-
rine. The statement in yesterdays Journal
proves this beyond doubt The hospital
has been paying for 'fancy creamery" butter
and getting oleomargarine. The investiga-
ton of Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
McGinnis, assisted by an expert, establishes
the fact beyond dispute. Five kegs of cleo
chest, and not a pound of butter. Every
pound of the oleomargarine had been fur
nished as irst-class creamery butter at the con-
tract price of 26 cents per pound, while oleo-
less than 16 cents per pound. Besides
the infamy Of the business here
was clear steal of ten cents pound on the
goods furnished. AS already intimated, oleo-
margarine is great improvement on maggoty
butter. In fact, good article Of oleomarga-
rine cannot be distinguished from good butter
by skilled experts. It is not unwholesome
nor disgusting It's sale under certain regu-
lations ia permitted by law, and it is likely to
grow in public favor and popularity az it be-
comes better known. From all accounts it is
infinitely better than poor butter, and, of
course, immeasureably preferable to the mag
goty stuff that the States insane were form
erly fed on. But this was not the point. No
matter how good oleomargarine is, it is an
imitation article and commands lower price
than butter. The hospital contract called
for fancy creamery butter at % cents pound,
and the contractor has been furnishing oleo-
margarine which cost him less than 16 cents.
Without reference to the merits or dement's
Of oleomargarine, this is bare-faced swindle.
It is on the same line with many other trans
actions by the same parties. 1t shows that
ring management and ring methods still pre-
vail at the hospital. But there is another
pect to the case. The law regulating the
manufacture and sale of oleonargarine places
tax on wholesale and retail dealers in the
article and prescribes penalty for selling it
as butter or without an oleomargarine govern
ment label The law has been violated in
this case. In addition to the outrage on the
insane and the swindle on the hospital, the
contractor has laid himself liable to prosecu-
ton for violation of the internal revenue law.
If it is anybody's business to see that the
United States laws are enforced and their
violation punished, the contractor should be
made TO sweat for this.

AMONG the points awaiting decision by the
Superior Court in the suit to GUST Dr. Harri-
son from the presidency Of the Insane Asylum
board is one of much interest. It is based
on the claim made by the complainant in the
present proceeding that removals of competent
and meritorious persons from c1ice solely for
political reasons and the appointment of other
persons for like reasons is opposed to public
policy and prohibited by common law The
claim is based on the theory that public office
appointing power must exercise it as carefully
as trustee with sole regard to the interests
involved, and that the recognition of any
other claim for Office than that of fitness and
merit is violation Of law on the part of the
appointing power. Although this has been
strongly asserted as fundamental principle
of good government we are not aware that it
has heretofore been claimed as principle of
cisions go very far toward sustaining it. and
some of the highest American authorities
recognize it as principle of common Law. If
the court should so hold it would be great
victory for the cause of civil-service reform,
for, while it would not interfere in the least
with the power of the people 20 change their
public servants, or with the right TO make re-
movals from Office for proper cause, it would
put stop to sweeping changes in subordinate
positions for political reasons solely.
