WARD MALLISTER AND CHICAGO
SOCIETY.

Some idiots in what is called CHI
cago society" have taken otfense at
the criticisms of an ignoramus named
Ward McAllister, who lives in, New
York and close-hcrds what is called
the 400. The Chicago idiots who
have taken offense at McAllister's
criticisms are as silly and as ignorant
as the fellow himself. Those persons
talk about society and culture. For
the most part they can speak but one
language, and that imperfectly.
Their reading extends only to the
latest translation of the sensational
French novel; or, if they are men,
the salacious American novel and
the sporting columns of the daily
papers. 1t would be safe to
say that there are not ten
young men and ten young women
in the Chicago society which Ward
McAllister criticises, or In Ward Me-
Allister's four hundred, who know
the history Of their own country, who
could discuss intelligently the public
questions Of the day, or who hay'
read understaudingly five hrst-clas
books by American or English au
thors The talk Of the men In thi
soclety Is mostly about fast womel
and fast horses. The talk Of th
women rs about one another anN
about dress. eith smatterIug ui mu

THE five small republics of Central
America are about to come together
under Federal government. This
ought to have been done long ago.
Only small iealousies have separated
these republics, while united they
will form a power that will make
itself respected The location of
these republics on what must be the
line Of commerce between the Allan
tic and Pacific makes their peace inn
portant to all commercial nations.

THE FIRST REGIMENT.

In the loss of its magnificent arm
ory, its arms, uniforms, and accou-
terments, the gallant First Regiment
has the heartfelt sympathy of the
entire community,
One of the most public-spirited
bodies of men in the country, it won
a reputation for soldierly qualities
that extended all over the Union.
Public sympathy should be followed
by public assistance.
The regiment deserves well Of the
people of Chicago, and they should
see to it that ii is again placed on its
foot

OUR TOM rs 0. K.

Col. Thomas j. O'Neill, formerly
of the Herald, has been selected as
Secretary of the West Park Board,
Dn the recommendation of Commits
sioner Billings and other influential
men. The selection is a good one.
Col. O'Neill was a brilliant journal
ist, and will be capable Secretary.
He served as private secretary to
Carter II. Harrison as Mayor; also
for Mayor Cregier. The man who
could satisfy two'such exacting, off
ferently disposed men must be a
model indeed. Col. O'Neill is not
only good Secretary but he is a
good-looking, courteous gentleman
in the bargain.

SURLY COLUMBIAN GUARDS.

The surliest and most disObliging
outfit connected with our alleged
Worlds Fair, is the Columbian
Guard, which is supposed to police
the grounds and give information to
visitors.
None,of these fellows imagine that
they are public servants.
Taking their cue from their SUI
periors, they are about as obnoxious a
set of individuals as anyone was ever
thrown in contact with.
In the general conglomeration OF
Worlds Fair brands, they mix well.

LiNOBLOM FOR THE SCHOOL
BOARD. =,

1t is to be hoped that in making up
the new School Board Mayor Harri-
son will not overlook the strong de-
mand for the appointment of Mr..
Robert Lindblom to membership on
that body
Mr.. Lindblom is the real leader of
the Scandinavians of Chicago, and
his attitude in the late fight brought
thousands of votes to the Democratic
ticket from the ranks Of the Scandi-
navian people.
He is a gentleman of culture, d
ripe scholar, and would be an orna-
ment to the Board of Education.

THE WORLDS FAIR.

Butter is now selling in Chicago at
40 cents per pound.
This is one of the advantages de-
rived from the Worlds Fair.
The cost of living has increased 100
per cent. in Chicago since March /.
This is another advantage derived
from the Worlds Fair.
The poor of Chicago had the parks
to take their families to on Sunday in
other years
This year the South parks are
closed to them, and the other parks
will be oyercrOwded with strangers,
so that the poor people Of Chicago
will have no place to take their wives
and children on Sundays.
The Worlds Fair will be closed to
them on that day.
The city is filled with thieves,
thugs and burglars.
This is another advantage derived
from the Worlds Fair.
After the Fair is over there will
be big stump in real estate values.
Another advantage from the
Worlds Fair.
The men who will make money
out of the Worlds Fair are, as
rule, lot Of fugitives from justice
who are trying to recoup their shat
tered fortunes in Chicago.
The people Of Chicago will gair
rothing by it except discomfort ex
pense and annoyance.
The Fair itself will be great bis
flzzle.
What there will be of it will pos
sibly be In running order by Aug.
There will be fine show of dirt

4 PECULIAR weekly recently made
the following statement: ITO be

edge of divine scientitics, through the
application of which the new immor-

much to say that this thought would
never have occurred to the average

would not have been recognized as a

MIR. HARRISON IN THE SADDLE.

Mayor Harrison has demonstrated
by his action in the case Of the Penn
sylvania Company that he can be de-
pended on to defend the rights Of the
city and of the property owners.
That is somethat that the Wash
burne administration could not be re-
lied on to do The developments of
this case reveal an extraordinary de-
gree of official negligence and turpi-
tude at the City Hall for the last six
months. Mark the history of the
case.
Last July Corporation Counsel
Miller declared invalid the ordinance
rassed by the old town of Lake board,
and on the basis of which the per-
mits recently issued. He set forth
cogent reasons for this declaration,
reasons so cogent that the attorney
of the Pennsylvania Company, Mr..
Brooks. did not care to dispute them.
This was in July. In December Mr..
Miller was informed that the Penn
sylvania Company would apply for an
intunct on restraining the city from
interfering with the operations OF
the railroad company under the ordi-
nance which he declared invalid.
Mr. Miller made no objection. The
Injunction was issued. The railroad
company proceeded under cover
: of it. The Council reprimandeC
the Corporation Counsel. The Coun
Gil directed him to proceed so az
to secure the dissolution o
the Injunction. He disregardeC
the order of the Council. During TIN
: last week of his term he advised tn
, issue of permit under the ordinanc
/ which he had declared invalid.
! too eager Commissioner serving afte
the appointment of his successor is
: sued the permit. The proceeding
k were extraordinary. No honest eN
Z PLANTATION has been given of them.
n Mayor Harrison has under the Gil
i cumstances only done his duty in OF
S dering the tracks laid under the pei
r nit torn up. He acted promptly
lie energetically and masterfully. Th
ID people have reason after this actio
k to have confidence that the Mayo
)r will protect them against corporal
/, usurpation.

WILLIAM MANGLER, the new Oil
Inspector, deserves the position as
reward for faithful services to his
party and to his leader, Carter H.
Harrison. His loyalty was above re-
proach and beyond question. Mayor
Harrison is wise and at the same
time just in rewarding such men as
Mr.. Mangler

impress of what the Tribune calls his
~masterful capacity" His appoint
ments are of recognized excellence.
He has already shaken up many OF
the departments, and the listlessness
and indifference which characterized
them for the last two years have dis
appeared. His sharp eye has already
detected many abuses. He has de-
handed their abatement He has no
titled the pet contractors that they
must live up to the terms of their
agreement as to time and price. He
has called down those aldermen who
made q pastime of passing special as
sessment ordinances and repeating
them. He will next give his atten-
ton to the rebate nuisance.
While not attempting to make
people moral by statute or religious
by ordinance, he has suppressed the
grosser forms of gambling, and means
to keep them suppressed. He will
not try to govern Chicago as though
it were hungry village in Vermont.
He will enforce all needful regula-
tions to insure the comfort and con-
venience of the people, and will, as
far as possible. protect the unwary
from the Vaccinations of the evil
disposed. But he cannot protect
every inhabitant of this great city
from the consequence of his own fol
ly at all times.
Perhaps that which has given mos
pleasure to the people is the way il
which he has called down the World
Fair syndicate of concession sellers
He does not propose that those syn
dicates shall traffic in the rights, tn
property, or the privileges of the pee
pie of Chicago. He has put a stop t
the high-handed proceedings of tn
Henry syndicate, who claimed a me
nopoly of the lake front. He has ais
notified the Hin ois Central that
must temper its policy with respeC
for the peoples rights.
1t must be gratifying to Mr.. HaI
rison to read at the end of one wee
in the Mayors Office the followin
gratifying tribute to his success
the columns of the Tribune of la
Sunday: 1.-The flfth-time Mayor hi
once again demon strated his maste
full capacity. He has shown that |
has the ability to give Chicago goo
government. = The first wee
of his fifth term is full Of promise f
the future. This is praise, indee
from the leading organ of the opp
sition party. But then, the Tribul
can be just after election. Nevt
theless its post-election complimen
must be appreciated by the Demo
racy of Chicago and its leader, @
ter II. Harrison.

COMMISSIONER HIRAM j. JONES.

One of the very best appointments
made by Mayor Harrison is that Of
Hiram J. Jones to be Commissioner
Of Public Works.
Mr.. Jones is a man of high charac-
ter, whose efficiency as a public Off
Ger has been most magnificently
demonstrated in the past.
His administration of the affairs
of the important department over
which he has been chosen to rule,
cannot help but rebound to the credit
