THE DEATH DEALING WIRES. -Four OF
the electrical light companies Of this
city have appealed to the courts to pre-
vent interference by the board If cleo
trical control with their death-Gealing
wires. In so doing they have only tx
ercised their rights. and 10 fault can be
found with them.
We regret TO see, however. that the
president and the electrician of the
Brush Company have permitted them
selves TO talk TO reporter about the
board of electrical control in manner
which puts the company in very I'M
becoming attitude. They are bellIge
rent and defiant. ana they apparently
think that their company has rights 10
the use Of the public highways which
are above and beyond interference by
the public authorities. They assert that
the recent horrible deaths which have
been caused by electric wires are due
TO the EMBEDDING Of the board. and
charge it with incompetence and cor
ruptiOn.
Ii is possible that the courts may -us-
tain the claim OF the electrical lgh,
companies to the uncontrolled occupa-
ton of the streets with their poles aud
wires. but we very much dOubt7t. The
elevated railroad companies took SINH
lar stand at first. bat the decisions oil
the Court of Appeals nave taught them

ONE Of the most amusing features Of
Chicago efforts 10 advertise herself M
with the Worlds air is the
loud Boosting abou. the readiness If !
its citizens 10 forthwith raise 80 OOO.OOO
for the purpose. Chicago, IN common
with the rest of the West. Is Away F,
Obliged to look to New York tor finan-
cial assistance when Its citizens have !
any large business scheme u develop. /
The probability is that if Chicago really /
tried to raise 81 900 600 IN cold cash for
a Worlds Fair it would have 10 come
10 Wall street TO raise it.-Nsw lOb /

THE defense in the Cronin case seem I
bound to shatter and utterly destroy /
any lingering belief which may exist
as to the possible innocence OF the
prisoners. First. a persistent eudeayor
is made 10 prevent the empaneiing Of
anv Jury, and then. when IT becomes
likely that a jury will be obiaiaod. an
effort is made 10 corrupt IL. Inls is not
the course which would be adopted by
men conscious Of their innocence. If
these suspects" are not guilty they
are most unfortunate in counsel ana
friends. who. by their injudicious ac-
ton. have deepened the suspicion which
attaches to their position until 10 may

The CAR AT BERLIN. The only inn
Dressive feature Of the Cars visit TO
Berlin is the extraneOus one OF the one
nan power it exhibits 10 the world IN ,
he closing years of the nineteenth cen
ury and on the centennial year Of the
french Revolution.
Evidently the world moves slowly.
It this late day the visit OF the Russian
utocrat To the German capital not only ,
Emphasizes the fact that the Gar OF all i
he Russias rules his own vast empire ,
" the simple exercise Of bis will, but
hat the peace of Europe Is his to keep
+ break at pleasure. :
Read by this light, the stony of the
zar's reception and treatment by the
ierman Emperor and the mighty Chan I
ellor has peculiar significance.
