occupied seat in a car under his very
nose; you cannot make him swear by
crowding him off the sidewalk into the
mud OF the gutter, for he knows that
within few minutes he will probably
perform the same service for some one
else.
Chicago crowds are hard to handle.
Tor they are impetuous and aggressive.
Ii they want to 90 anywhere they go,
whether it suits the rest of the world or
not. Ii in the pursuit of an object they
override others, break a few limbs,
Dlacken few eyes or smash few
fences, so much the worse for the VIC
TINS. Such mishaps are not Intentional.
They occur simply because other rpeo-.
pie didn't know enough to stand aside.
There is no malice in the mischief thew
accomplish. Chlcago's motto is Every
man for himself, and the dell take the
hlndmOSt," and it is lived up to re-
iIgiously among all classes of the COM
munity. 1t does no good to complain of
it. for it is bred in the bone and per-
meates the atmosphere. 1t is inevitable
that in the universal rush and crush
some should suffer damage, but it is
salve to the wounds of the unfortunates
to know that their hurts are not the re-
suit OF malice or generalization. Chi
cago crowds are too busy, too much oc-
cupied with the enterprise in which
they are engaged. to give any thought
to the pains they inflict. Needless and
cruel they may be, but they are always
bubbling over with reckless abandon
and all-pervading cheerfulness and good
humor. They give and take blows as
prize fighter does, and cherish no ami
mositles if they get the worst of the en-
counter. They are, in word, thor
oughly American.

THE EXPECTED HAPPENS.

Some time since, in commenting on
the possibilities involved in the con-
tinued coinage of 90 cents worth of sill
yer by the government into dollar,
and then using the strong arm of the
law to make people take the 60 cents
for 100 cents, we said that the govern
ment was offering premium of 40 per
cent to men to engage in the making of
dollars just as good as those it turns out
of its minis.
Our dispatches yesterday told our
readers that what was possibility has
become certainty, and that a lot of
men in West Virginia are making dol
lars which are not only as good, as far
as goodness consists of the value of the
metal in them, as the government dol
lars. but having slightly more metal Ill
them, are actually better dollars than
our minis turn out. A more striking
illustration of the absurdity of our sill
yer dollar coinage than this could hard
ly be conceived of. A more forcible
Illustration CT the necessity of tying the
mint ratio to the commercial ratio could
not be given. e,
These men who make and give out
better, that is more valuable dollar
than the government issues, are GRIM
inals. There is no doubt about that.
But what have they done? They have
taken somewhat more than 371L grains
of fine silver and, adding the alloy,
have made a dollar. They are free
coiners at a ratio of 16 to l. What do
the PETERS and Stewards propose? That
bullion owners may do precisely the
same thing, except that the government
will do the work for them instead of
doing it for themselves What is the
moral difference between the West
Virginia "counterfeiters" and the PEI
fers aud Stewards? Is it really anything
more than that between six and half
dozen? Each are trying to make 40 per
cent profit off the people who use silver
money. OF the two, we are of the opin-
ion that the West Virginians are the
more honorable lot.

MORNING. OCTOBER 81 1899

there would he small inducement
for an ambitious man to seek seat in
either house of congress. For states
men do not seek office simply for its
emoluments. They seek it for the
power which it brings-the ability
which it confers upon them to reward
their friends and punish their enemies
And they will not voluntarily surrender
this privilege into the hands of men
whose influence, is circumseribed by
ward boundary or an election precinct.
Of course. Mr.. Dearmond is not insane
enough to suppose that his bill will ever
be reported to the house, or that it will
receive moments consideration in
committee. There is no public neces-
sity for it, and it is difficult to see
wherein it is capable of benefiting the
puplic service either i'll the mode of ap-
pointment or tenure of Office. 1t in
wolves the transfer of the appointive
power from responsible to an ire
sponsible agency-to an agency that is
oftener incompetent than otherwise for
such duty. The fool-kiIler should
not overlook Dearmond

THE PUBLIC HAVERIGHTs.

In the contest in progress between
the street car company and its former
employees, the corporation seems to have
overlooked the fact that the public have
some rights in the matter.
The city has given away the streets in
return for street car service for the
accommodation of the public. The
street car company has no right to in
woke situation which deprives the
public of their rights.
1t is misfortune that the gift of the
streets was not coupled with plan for
determining questions of difference be-
tween the company and its employees.
No one expects the harsh measure of
forfelting the franchise of the street car
company will be enforced, but it is ex-
pected that the cars Will be run today
and hereafter.
The people will not quietly submit to
having their business and convenience
interfered with in order that the CON-
pany can lock out its men. There are
plenty of men obtainable. and the people
demand that there shall be no repetition
OF yesterdays inactivity.

CHICAGO CROWDS.

Visitors TO the worlds fair have gen
orally noticed and commented upon the
almost universal good nature that char
acterizes the crowds upon the streets,
the cars and other public conveyances,
and on the crowded fair grounds. The
cable and elevated trains are always
packed with mass Of perspiring, huSt-
ling humanity. Every one is in
hurry; none can afford to wait for
later train. They crowd and jostle each
other, tread on each others corns, poke
their elbows into their neighbors' ribs,
or their umbrellas into their stomachs,
and when their laundering is called to
their attention freely apologize. And
the apology is always graciously ac-
cepted. Men and women packed in a
street car like sardines in a box banter
each other good-naturedly at the incon-
veniences they are obliged to suffer,
joke about the enormous dividends the
transit companies are wringing from
the. public in return for such made
Quate conveniences, and, arrived at
their destination, tumble pell-meIl over
each other, and with a shout and a
laugh start for the gates, each indi-
vidual seemingly striving to be the first
to enter. Seldom is surly word spoken;
every face is smiling. Limbs may be
aching from the strain of standing for
miles in constrained position, apparel
may be disarranged, hats knocked
away and collars wilted by the damp of
perspiration; but laugh, a bantering
word, or the snatch of song are heard
on every side.
Chicago crowds are not polite; they
have no time for politeness. They are
not considerable of the comfort of others !;
they do not expect consideration to be
shown to them. They expect to be
knocked about. TO be squeezed and
jostled and trod upon, and TREY take no
pains to avoid inficting upon others the
same discomforts. They are understood
by others Of their own city, and expect
those from other parts of the world to
understand them also. In this, how
ever, they are mistaken, and we find
that their reputation is suffering in con-
sequence. They are called rude, and so
they are when judged by the stand
ards of politeness in other parts of
the world, but rudeness is far from
their intention. They are simply in a
hurry. They are called ineonsiderate,
and they are so, but they do not expect
or demand that consideration be shown
to them, for they know they can hustle
for themselves. They are regardless Of
the comfort and convenience of others.
Herein lies fault, for, although they
do not expect that others shall put them
selves about to please them. they ought
to manifest more respect for the pleas
ure of the strangers who are within their
gates. Yet they are always good
natured, and this fact condones many
violations of the strict rules of etiquette.

cage man by crushing him half to death

connter much opposition. and deserv-
edly, too, from those soldiers who per-
formed their duty faithfully to the
country in its time of need. The man
who deserted from the ranks, on any
pretext whatever, no matter what his
previous services may have been, is not
deserving of place upon the nations
roll of honor. Pensions to honora BILE
soldiers, disabled in the line of duty or
rs result of disease or wounds con-
tracted in the service, should receive
liberal aid, but deserters must not be
permitted to draw dollar from the
fund appropriated as a reward of he
roism.

WHY is there all this talk about vio-
lenee being resorted to on the part of
the discharged street car employees?
Mayor Wright is holding the militia and
his police in readiness to march to bat
tie, and the United States, through
Its government at Washington. is in
state of alarm. The street car employees
have shown no lawless spirit. Though
they have made an unwiSe and mistaken
movement they are not criminals and
the GLOBE does not believe they will
commit criminal acts. 1t is an insult to
assume that they are about to commit
deeds of violence. Nothing would so
weaken their cause or so greatly please
Mayor Wright. who is anxious for an
excuse to call out the troops.

AN IDIorIC PR OPPOSITION.

Representative Dearmond, of Mis-
souri,, is evidently ambitious for admis-
sion into the ranks of the crank states
men. On Wednesday he introduced
bill in the house which proposes to
turn over the selection of government
employees of every description to the
states in which their services are re-
Quired, the several states to provide by
law how these officials shall be chosen.
The public is not enlightened by Mr..
Dearmond as to the necessity for such a
change as he proposes. He is, prob
ably, state rights man of the ultra
school, who believes the central gov
eminent has no rights which the states
are bound to respect, not even the right
to employ its own servants or to carry
its own purse. His proposition pos
sesses the merit of originality, how
ever, if it has no other claim upon the
public attention.
The adoption of Mr.. Diamonds plan
would be fraught with some peculiar
consequences. The legislatures, baying
the selection of United States marshals.
collectors of internal revenue and Gus
toms, postmasters. judges and survey
ors, would have very considerable
PATRONAGE to bestow, and their import
ance would be increased amazingly.
The country pumpkin who happened to
be elected to the assembly would find
himself the arbiter IL many cases of i'm
portant interests and the dispenser of
valuable patronage. He might know
nothing of the duties of the Offices he
would have the privilege OF filling, and
have nc interest in their faithful per-
Torrance. His influence would be
sought. however, and if he felt SO in
clined he might turn handsome penny
occasionally. The officials thus APP
pointed to control federal affairs would
not be responsible to the federal gov
eminent. If they had a pulp with the
legislature they might remain in office
for life, and snap their fingers at which
ever party was in control of the federal
government as long as they were in har-
mony with the party that controlled their
own state. The president. senators
and representatives would be robbed
of ''the cohesive power of public
PLUMBER" which they now WELD, and

Tonight the Mantell company will
present ''Parrhasius. with Mantell as
the painter and Miss Betrens as Lydia,
his wife. Parrhasius. one of the great
est painters OF ancient Greece, was
contemporary of the philosopher Soc
rates and the also famous painter
ZeuXis. In disposition Parrhasius was
excessively proud and arrogant; called
himself the prince of painters, claiming
descent from Apollo and even seeking
to be adored as god. The story upon
which the play is founded is told by
Seneca, but the author has simply used
1t as his motive. enlarging and develop
ing 1t both in its interest and dramatic
intensity, and rounding the whole into
thrilling climax.

REPORTS from the Cherokee strip.
recently opened to white settlement,
repeat the stories of distress among the
new corners. Water is scarce, food is
scarce and dear, and thousands are re-
duced to the verge of starvation. I'm
less outside aid comes to the rescue
there will be great suffering between
the present time and the harvesting of
the first crop, and many will die of
privation. The settlers have no one
but themselves TO blame for their pres
ent condition. They knew they could
not harvest crop for year, and vet
they rushed into the territory with
scanty stores of provisions and little
money. DefYing the laws of nat
ure, they seemed to court starvation.
They deserve little sympathy, yet their
cries of distress will doubtless evoke
generous response, for the American
people are not willing that any should
suffer, even as consequence of their
OWL folly.
