THIS WEEK.

This week is the turning point in the
weather, in politics and in business.
The weather is bound to give way to
custom after Easter, and then we must
have spring, whether it is warm or not.
Temperature cannot stand against fash
ion, and after the Easter outfits have
been purchased and inaugurated on
Easter Sunday no inclement weather
can relegate them to the seclusion OF
closets. Therefore spring will be with
us next week, whether the song birds,
the green grass, the bursting buds and
the kitehying boys are here or not.
This is the last full week of the cam
paign, and though there are signs of
life there is not very much activity
as yet. The leaven is working, how
ever, and though some OF the signs OF
the old. time blatant campaign are not
observed it is evident that the voters
are being informed about all the vital
issue Of the day and will be able to go
to the polls masters of all the political
points that are needful to enable
them to vote intelligently and
to emphasize their opinions with
their ballots. The Democrats have
weakly put forward several issues I"
and have witnessed their sudden ex-
tinction 10y the light of facts. Their
piece de resistance, SO to speak, was the
investigation of the Soldiers Home at
Bristol, which is doomed to end in a
fiasco of the first water, though it is to
be continued in form all this week. All
along the line the Democrats have met
defeat already, and their efforts 10
establish some claim for the suffrGges
of the people have been almost pitiable.
Business will this week begin to feel
it's first real opening impulse. 1t has
been rather slow in starting, but with
Easter out of the way, and a fresh in
stallment of balm in the atmosphere,
there will be likely to be u lively time
among the retailers until the summer
exodus is in full blast.
After this week, also, the " down
river traffic will begin in earnest, and
the annual panorama OF never ending
procession to the shore resorts will be-
gin TO unfold itself.

POLITICS..

What evidence of the existence and
progress of political campaign there
is visible TO the naked eye is not only
minute but Of doubtful value for the
formation of an opinion regarding the
result next week at the polls.
The usual, the old-time signs of a
campaign are almost wholly wanting.
The stereopticon man at Turks Head is
using up good carbon to flash pictures
and picturesque sentences upon canvas
that no one looks long at, and there are
feeble attempts at rallies in some of the
towns.
Ii must not be assumed, however, that
there is not vigorous life in this cam
paign. The political managers of both
parties know what they are about.
They are not dead nor sleeping. The
old style of torchlight political cam
paigns has gone out of date. The
voters read for their political informa-
tion now, and when they get all the
facts they digest them and vote accord
ing TO their judgment.
Whoever seeks now to deal with
voters in any manner except upon the
basis of fact and the proper deductions
from the facts makes very serious and
costly political blunder. Voters read
the papers, and they know as well as
the leaders what is what, and what
should be done.
While there is an appearance of polit-
ical quiet now, it does not augur that
that there is Indifference among the
voters.

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES.

For two decades the responsibility of
railroads to the public, as distinguished
from that of other corporations, has
been developing through rulings and
decisions of courts and the work of the
Interstate Commerce commission, until
it has become a recognized principle
that their business is affected by public
interest and cannot be conducted with
out due regard being had for the rights,
necessities and business requirements of
the communities and individuals who
are compelled by circumstances not en-
tirely of their own choice or creation to
depend upon them for transportation
facilities.
So well defined has this principle be-
come, and so carefully and intelligently
has it been worked ont and fitted to
court practice, that shippers of freight
and travellers are assured that il they
choose to test their rights they need not
be imposed upon or damaged in person
or purse by railroads.
This quasi-public character has not
been made to extend TO the employees Of
railroads heretofore. though their
power to destroy the usefulness of the
principle by concerted strikes has been
abundantly demonstrated. The inn
portance Of the extension Of the
principle TO include employees has
for some years been n mooted question
1t has been held that in order TO make
the theory of public interest as affect
ing railroads complete it should be re-
cognized that the employes--as we'll as
the comprehensive responsible to the
public, inasmuch as they are engaged in
a quasi-public employment, that the
operatives of railroad are--in the prac-
tical relations OF their services TO per-
sons and property transported-far more
important as factors than officers of the
corporations, and that the legislature
exhausts only half its power and performs
only half its duty when, in making ap.
propriate regulations for the protection
of the lives and transportation of prop.
erty carried on railroads, it stops with
their application to the corporations and
their officers.
This reasoning has been embodied In
decisions and orders of United States
courts in Ohio during the past week,
and several engineers and firemen who
had abandoned their engines and struck
were arrested and are to appear today
to answer to the order of the courts.
The substance of the decision of the
United States district Judge is that rail
road employees are engaged in public
service that the public has an interest
in the manner in which they perform
their duties, and in the time and cir.
cumstances under which they quit that
employment; that railroad employees
cannot always choose their own time
and place for terminating the relation
Of employment, for the reason that they

THE Chicago Inter Ocean published
its 2lst birthday number on Saturday,
and it was one of the best examples of
Chicago enterprise ever sent out from

and Of the 420 columns of matter 235
were advertisements. The advertise
ments were almost as interesting as the
news columns, they were so handsomely
displayed. This natal number is work
of art all through, and reflects special
credit upon the enterprise of the Inter
Ocean management and the capacity of
