THE TIN HUM.

The Chicago Tribune imposes a task
that, it is feared, is beyond their ability,
when it would have the parties who are
rafting the political tin to ''stop lying
and build some tin;plate mills" There
is encouragement for the industry to
the extent of S44 ton duty on the
sheets to be Immersed in the white
metal, and yet neither patriotic pride
nor solicitude for the welfare of tender
industrial infant can stir into fruitful
activity any of the tin factories that
people the Imagination of some persons.
There is no response in any quarter to
the business calls for native tin plate.
An offer to take 6,000 boxes at market
rates has been unanswered and is still
open. 1t is feared the supply will be
insufficient for the protection orators
next year, or to supply the demands of
campaign thunder.

MIR. BUTRroK,s CLEvERNEss.

The Rev. WALLACE H. BUTRIcK
shows his large head when he says that
in general he prefers not to discuss out
side of the pulpit what he has said in
the pulpit. Nothing proves the great
general so conclusively as his skill in
selecting his battlefelds, and the law
yer who knows how to choose his forum
cleverly has won half his case already.
IfyOu have got to fight with man, your
chances of success are infinitely better
if you are in your own bailiwick while
the missiles are flying than if you were
in his. And if your bailiwick is pull
pit, you would be little better than daft
should you abandon it and start off on
sortie against the enemy on level
ground. A pulpit has advantages in a
discussion which are not to be despised.
Its Creates advantage is that while you
are talking from it no one can answer
you back without risking arrest for a
breach of the peace. An argument
from such source is really unanSwer-
able. Mr.. BUTRIcK evidently has the
build of warrior, because he so clearly
appreciates the Importance of occupy
ing hill top during the battle.
Rev. WALLACE H.BUTRICK shows his
large head also when he limits the num-
Der of enemies whom he proposes to
MAIN during the summer months. On
Monday morning last he had Chief
CLARK, all the judges in the county. ali
the officials who make their headquar
terS in the city hall, Mayor SMITH and
all the newspapers to deal with. The
warm weather is coming on. and the
GLOBE was rather inclined to diScour-
age his programme, because OvereXertiOn
is dangerous under the boiling sun.
The outlook is now less serious. For one
thing, Mr.. BUTRICK has explained that.
when he calls our city officials a corrupt
gang, he does not mean that they are
corrupt or gang. He is simply iden-
tifying class of people by playfully ap
plying to them al epithet which has
had some currency among a certain
coterie of local sOreheads. Mr.. BUTRICK
also says that. when he declared
our courts to be imperative, he did not
mean the district court, but the munic-
ipal court. This lets out HAsCAL Il.
BRILL and his colleagues. They can
now breathe freely, and continue to
charge juries and sign orders in pro-
ceedings supplementary to execution
without any immediate fear of being in
dicted for not operating. The GLOBE is
sorry for the other men who are impli-
Gated in this unfortunate affair. and it
wishes that Mr.. BUTRICK had been
willing to acquit them also. But up to
the hour of going to press he is obdu-
rate, and they will probably have to
face the music. The grand jury is now
in session, and, if Mr.. BUTRICK has the
evidence he promises, Mayor SMITH
may expect true bill to be found
against him for incapacity; Chief
CLARK, true bill for lazineSs and in
efficiency; and HENRY W. Cory and
JOHN TwOHY Jr. a true bill for not
operating. All of these are terrible
Otfenses, but no one of them is as bad as
that which the municipal court judges
will have to plead to. A municipal Judge
who will not operate does not earn his
salary, and ought to be made to operate
or resign.
Why doesn't somebody nominate Rev.
WALLACE II. BUTRICK for mayor?

CHICAGO, June IO.-The Central

session to-day. 1t was decided to make
a rate on pig iron and articles taking pig

legal notice. The association recunsid-
cred the action taken at the MAY meet
ing In regard to rates to be charged on
exhibits for the worlds fair, and
adopted the following rules to govern:
"All exhibits to be charged at full
tariff rates. plus switching charges
when going to the exposition, but if re-
turn exhibits are rendered to the rail-
road by which they were carried to
Chicago, and the owner of such exhibits
will execute a release relieving carriers
from all liability in consideration of
tree return transportation, and will
present paid freight bills or original

the proper officer of the exposition that
articles rendered for return are uusold

1t was suggested that uniform release

adopted providing that on all worlds

any, besides full responsibility for the

That lawyers do not ALWAYS make the best

case in the district court few days ago. An
action for damages for the death of a railway
employe was ON trial. The plaintiffs attor-
ney went iEto the witness box to give his YER
sion of the killing. After making his state
ments the attorney for the railroad company,
who has proyerbial success in winning cases,
directed his inquiries to the amouet of COM
pensation the witness was to receive for try
ing the case. The information was drawn
out in pieeemeal that an assistant attorney
was to get one-half of the amount received,
and the witness was to go ''snooks'' with the
plaintiff for the remainder The jury re-
turned verdict for the railroad and now
the attorney and witness wonders that the
jury did not believe his testimony nor regard
his eloquence.

THE GREATEST CITY.

Any enthusiastic citizen of New York
or Chicago will, upon small provocatlon,
assert that his city is, in quite dis
cernible time, to be the greatest city on
the globe. If Babylon ever had 25.000,-
coo people. as TALMAGE has intimated
in his eXhilarated picturing. there may
be hesitancy in including the past; but
ratios of growth may be given to vindi-
cate the claim. Yet the census lately
taken of London shows larger acces-
sion of population in the last decade
than any other city of the world. The
two American cities show a somewhat
greater percentage Of increase, but
London added more souls. 1t is not
only the largest urban aggregation now
eXtant, but likely to continue such longer
than there is much use to look into
the future. London has wheels within
wheels. The district that sports a lord
mayor is comparatively small, and has
less population than st. Paul. One mu-
nicipal district comprises the county of
MiddleseX, but portions of three other
counties are included in the name. The
area under control Of the board of pub
lie works is much smaller than the po-
lice district. The former shows popu-
lation, under the April census. of 4,211,-
O56, an increase of 396, 4S5 in the decade.
This is much less than in the preceding
ten years. 1t does not however, indi-
cate that there is any falling away in
the growth of the London district, but
that population Overflows into what
were suburban regions. But the
technical distinctions of old bound
aries need not be considered.
The metropolitan or police district
shows a present population of $685., ,3322. 333322
That would cover the census OF New
York and Chicago combined, with room
for good many of the smaller cities.
New York is the only state in the Union
that has equal numbers. The increase
in the decade was $4,000. Every
twenty months or less a population
equal to that of st. Paul is added. In
the ten years the population within fif-
teen miles of the center of New York
increased but 100000, and the entire
county that contains Chicago added only
600,00 1t will be seen. then, that Lon
don is not only a stupendouS city,
When SHAKESPEARE went to Lon
don to grow up with that town
it is believed TO have had less
than 10000 population. The first
accurate periodical census was taken in
1901, when the population was S64, OBS.
1t Is only within the past 100 years that
London has struck its gait, as it were.
and pushed ahead at nearly a regular
movement. In that time it has gained
more than fOur-fifths Of its population.
If it keeps on at its present rate of
growth during the twentieth century,
computations will show an enormous
total. 1t will presumably still be largely
in the lead of any other city of the
word. Whether there are limitations
to the growth of great cities is a ques-
ton for speculation. The conditions of
the old civilizations do not make the
great cities of the ancient time reliable
precedents.

HUNTS ISLAND.

'There is no such tangible thing as Hunts
island" exclaimed Gen. jim Baker at the
Merchants yesterday. 'It is myth" He
referred to the tract of land which is stirring
up such a controversy between the United
States and Canadian governments. The
ownership is in serious doubt. Il was the
surveyor general of Minnesota when the in
ternational boundary line was rum and
conducted it. / was furnished with map
by the state department, and instructed to
follow that map. 1t was the map of the
commission that ran the line early in the
forties. The commission was instructed,
pursuant to the International treaty, to run
this line along the natural waterways up
Pigeon river and the Lake of the Woods.
That was the line marked out by the Frank
lin international treaty of 1879. That line
was implicitly followed until the commission
came TO Hunts Island, so-called.
e"There they made a positive detour from the
language of the treaty and followed the land
portages, making a shorter route between
Saginaw lake and Rainy river. Cypress
river leaves Saginaw lake and curves around,

called Hunts island. This river is as large as

ternational boundary line should follow the
natural waterway. Consequently the land
known as Hunters island must belong to
Minnesota. There is vast wealth of mineral
ore there, and 1 notice our Minneapolis
