CONGREGATIONAL singing Is q prop.
or and laudable feature Of divine
worship. There is something pagan.
ish In the spectacle Of several hun.
dred people remaining silent and pro.
Tossing to praise God through the
medium Of a high.priccd quartet
choir. At the same time there should
be an effort to make congregational
singing tuneful rather than discord.
ant, and with this end In view the
recent advice OF a Portland, Me,
preacher is applicable to all churches.
1t will add to the harmony OF the
OCCASION" said he, III those OF you
who know how to sing will sing loud.
ly, and those who don't know how to
sing will sing low" This seems to 1t
the case exactly. The volume of
sound does not by any means Indicate
the devotion Of the singer. It is
merely rather supcrtluous guaranty
Of good faith.

THE WAiL OF The PHARiSEES.

Much cutlery has been raised over
the fact that an assessment Is being
made on City Hall employees for cam.
paign purposes.
The denunciation Of this custom is
of course entirely pharisaical, and II
Is also farcial to the last degree.
The very people WHO denounce the
custom are the same who for years
maintain themselves in office by
levying corruption funds of the
salaries of their employees, who do the
same still wherever they get the
chance, and who would do 1t to.mor.
row II opportunity offered and neces.
sity demanded.
1t Is farcial because everybody
knows the motives underlying the
attack. On the face of 1t, of course,
1t Is extreme solicitude for the dear.
dowu.troddcn, crushed Democratic
city employe. Poor, sweet, innocent
Republican critics. 1t Is really az.
fccting to note your trembling anx.
iety about the wages and the welfare
OF those poor people now working
under the city administration. 1t is
really too bad that the naughty
Democratic machine leaders should
refuse the good, kind Republicans an
opportunity to step In. assume
the reins of government and take
care of the poor Democratic city hail
wage worker. They would do ii so
beautifully, you know There would
be no more assessments OF Democratic
city hall en,ployes-for the very good
reason there wouldn't be any left to
assess.
We note with wonder that the
Democrats now working for the city
continue to groan under the burdens
imposed upon them, and no doubt
will not raise a finger to ALLEVIATE
their sufferings and right their
wrongs by working for return of
Republican municipal power.
Seriously, the cant, humbug and
hypocrisy with which our local cam.
paigns are filed year In and year
out make one wonder what the fool.
killer has been doing for some years
past.
The custom OF allowing men to
contribute to keep in power the party
which gives them bread and butter
Is not only as old as the hills, but Is
good. hard, rock.bottomed common
sense.

D0N'1 WORRy ABOUT MAC VsA0H.

Some OF our Republican contem.
poraries are apparently extremely
anxious as to the manner and con.
duct OF Mr.. MacVeagh's campaign
this fall. The worry and anxiety OF
our friends Is but thinly yelled by u
sickly attempt to be humorous or
sarcastic at Mr.. Macveagh's expense.
They want to know how he will
address the voters down In Egypt
whether he will discuss pumpkins or
groceries. They also inquire what
he will say to the voters OF Cook
county, whether he will thank City
Hall employees for putting up cam
paign funds for his benefit, etc.
To all these queries We would an.
swer our Republican brethren by the
admonition not to worry. II they
but contain themselves In patience
they will hear from Mr.. MacVeagh
In good season, and perhaps they
will wish they hadn't. They may
learn all too soon just what this able
and scholarly citizen and student of
public afrails has to say about them.
selves, the party they represent and Its
doctrines. They will also DO taught to
learn that whatever may be the men.
tai caliber of the Republicans OF
Egypt or elsewhere, the Democrats
of Illinois are awake to and can com.
prehend the live issues OF the day,
whether dicussed by Mr.. MacVcagh
or anybody else.
They will learn that Mr.. MacVcagh
can talk to an appreclative audience
OF Cook County Democrats upon those
subjects which should influence all
good citizens In the exercise of the
franchise, and that In asking their
sutfrages he can do 50 upon higher
and lOftier grounds than any that our
Republican editorial friends seem
capable OF compromising. And best
OF all, our esteemed contemporaries
will learn on election day that the
mass OF the people Of Illinois,
whether they be from Egypt or Cook
County, know what Is good for them
and will act accordingly.

TO EXTEND DRIVE 10 MILWAUKEE.

Volney w. Foster, President OF
the old Sheridan Drive Association,
returned from Milwaukee full OF en-.
thusiasm for the extension OF the
Sheridan drive from Chicago to that
city.
"Are you sure such q project will
be Accomplishment" was asked.
II am as sure OF 1t as that ! see
YOU" no replied, and then went on
to tell how the extension can be
made. II have been In Milwaukee,
and while there was In consultation
with number of men who pro.
pose to form what will be known
as the Sheridan Road Association.
1t Is not formed for the purpose of
profit We will set to work to have
tho Wisconsin Legislature pass bill,
similar to one In force In this State,
which gives municipalities the right
to set apart two pleasure driveways
with provisions as to how they are
to be taken care OF. Our object is to
make driveway on or near the lake
shore to Milwaukee. which will be
one Of the grandest driveways In the
world. The advantages would be
such as are appropriate to great pro.
gressive cities such as Chicago and
Milwaukee. II a person be inclined
to make the drive for pleasure
1t would take three days. I
have no doubt that In time
coaching parties between the two
cities will become popular. In addi.
tion to this 1t will increase property
values along the driveway. An effort
will be made to have the Illinois Leg.
islature extend the authority of the
Lincoln Park Commissioners to take
care OF the drive within the city
limits at least"
Commissioner Weber favors the
plan of connecting driveway be.
tween the two cities. Mr.. Foster
will go to Milwaukee Aug. 20 to at.
tend a meeting of the citizens there

JAMES MANDREwS.
Mr.. James McAndrews, one OF the
Oldest aud most highly respected cit
liens Of Chicago, died ut his resi-.

Tuesday, after a long and painful
illness.
MI McAndrews was beloved by all
who knew him, and In every walk OF
life he was an honest and upright
man. lie had built up one of the
largest metal businesses In the
country, and, at the time OF his
death had amassed a comfortable
fortune. The deceased leaves wild.

four children, James Jr., Nellie, VIII.

mourn his loss.
The funeral took place on Friday,
from St. Malachy's Church, by car.
riages to Calvary cemetery, and was
very largely attended.
The Twelfth Ward Democratic
Club and many other organizations
passed resolutions expressive of their
grief at MI. McAndrews' taking off.

MR.. MAC VEAGH'S RETURN.

When Mr.. Franklin MacVeagh re.
turns to Chicago, about week hence,
he will find himself somewhat in the
anomalous position &C upied by Gen.
John NJ. Palmer five years ago.
That Is to say, he will be cham.
piOn about to enter the lists with no
opponent. His position of nominee
for the Senate naturally elects him
to be the Launcelot of the campaign
on the Democratic side. But the
failure OF the Republicans to nomi-
nate Senatorial candidate will rele.
gate Mr.. MacNeagh to the role of a
Launcelot iiourishing his lance at a
crowd OF little knights rather than
at a single mighty opposite.
This circumstance will detract
from the interest OF his campaign.
A series Of debates between Mr.. Mac
Veagh and Mr., Joseph Medill, for
instance, would have been q cam.
plign feature superior TO any that
has been witnessed hereabout in
many years. 1t is possible that the
Republicans, recognizing the un.
fortunate one'sldedness of the bat.
tie, will now and again furnish Mr..
MacNeagh with worthy opponent
to represent the unknown.
' In any event it is expected that
the Democratic nominee will make
creditable showing in the speech.

MEDHL AND CUiLOM,

What would Senator Cullom think
II 1t should develop that behind the
easy nomination of John r.. Tanner
as Chairman Of the Republican state
Central Committee looms a deal for
the election Of Joseph Medill, should
the State Legislature be Republican.
Mr.. Medill has a high opinion Of
Mr.. Tanner, and as for Mr.. Tanner
he thinks Mr.. Medill the biggest Re.
publican In the Sucker State.
In looking over the field some peo.
pie are disposed to credit the story
that the State derives its title from
the part Senator Gallon has been nj.
lowed to play in its recent politics.
But this Is nonsense. The State re.
ceived its cant name long before
Senator Cullom cherished political
ambitions.

ACCORDING to the latest reports
the railroads OF the country have
liabilities amounting to $ll, 900, OOO,-
900. Such figures are beyond human
imagination. a comparison shows
that the public debt at the close of
the war was $2,773, 236, l73, less than
one-thhd the railroad debt, and this
is a degree of magnitude whose mean.
Ing 1t is difficult to compass. In a
true sense these liabilities are as
much tax as the public debt The
principal, dividends and interest find
payment from the earnings of the

THE SAME OLD HEE.HAW.

There Is something absolutely com.
zeal In the lugubrious vail with
which certain Republicans and the
entire Republican press accompany
the announcement that the Demo.
Gratis are already actively at work
preparing for the fall campaign. and
have determined to add several thou.
sand new voters to the list. In one
and the same voice they de.
clare that all the efforts OF the
Democrats are and will be
fraudulent In their character
and with fraudulent intent. and then
denounce the Republicans because
they are not actively working In the
same line. The usual bugaboo about
the Democrats registering al lens.
naturallzing persons not entitled TO
the franchise, and so forth. Is OF
course raised. All the changes are
rung upon this very old and very
stale tune. They are entitled to
that consideration only which Is ac-
corded to extreme old age. The
drainage canal. the First, Second,
Eighteenth and Nineteenth Wards,
or as these districts are occasionally
dubbed, "the lodging house local..
ties" are, OF course, coming in for
their usual share OF attention, and
roundly abused as the scenes OF all
the dark deeds OF the wicked Demo.
Gratis. Later on, no doubt, the Elec.
ton Commissioners Office will get the
same old daub OF vituperation, false.
hood and utilization which has been
administered with great regularity
after every election since the Board
was created. Thus the dreary old
hee.haw OF the asinine Republican
press will be kept I'D until the cam.
paign shall have ended and the Demo
Gratis have won. Then we will be
treated to exhibitions OF virtuous in.
dignation and horror. The stuffed
ballot'box, PRESERVATION and false
count cries will be raised,
and the usual bluf at an
election contest will be made.
Everybody who has given any atten.
tion to political affairs in Cook County

are only the means by which Repub-

fierce reproach for the Republicans

STUDIED REPUBLICAN, INSULT To
EVANSTON.

Win strange Iatulty tne RepuU
lican party leaders have persisted In
ignoring and openly flouting the
claims Of one of the strongholds of
Republication in Cook County. The
classic shades Of Evanston have a..
ways sheltered a spirit Of the most
ultra Republican type, one in fact
which never lost its "bloody shirt"
quality even In the direst days Of dc.
feat. disaster and mug wumpery. Ev.
anston has steadily rolled up its ma
jorities for the Republican party for
years. and has never been known to
have scratched Republican ticket.
no matter what its makeup. And
yet, strange to say. Evanston has nj.
ways been treated with scant courte.
sy by the party leaders and organic.
ers. This time the beautiful north.
ern suburb has put It's foot down and
demanded recognition. 1t has sent
its wcll.dressed and well.groomed
citizens to county, congressional and
senatoii al conventions, and on the
floor at these gatherings the repre-.
sentatiyes of Evanston have de.
handed and even begged for some
representation. They have argued
and warned, but all in vain. The
Republican ticket is now made up
without a possibility OF the little
city having a representative upon 1t
or an opportunity Of voting for an
Evanston man. Her citizens are dis.
gruntled ut this: some Of them are
angry and swear as Justify as men
dare swear under the shadows Of the
Northwestern University that they
will get even with the ward. workers
election day. How differently has
Evanston been treated by the Demo.
Gratis. That party has placed at the
very head OF its county ticket a
young Evanston man. all his life u
popular resident OF the city.
In addition to this there Is now
talk OF placing Judge Prentiss. an.
other well.known and exceedingly
Evanstonian, upon the ticket
for the Office OF Probate Court Judge.
The voters up in that end Of Cook
County will have a strange idea of
the fitness OF things II they can swal.
low the entire Republican ticket
under the circumstances We have out.
lined.
We do not believe 1t likely that
they will. Already there are indica.
tions that the last straw has been
placed upon the patient back of
Evanston.
A very significant warning was
thrown out at the Seventh District
Congressional convention, where the
Evanston people were snubbed for
about the sixth time during the cam.
paign. The Democratic party OF
Cook County has managed to get
alon; very well even with the hos.
tility OF Evanston, but it will never.
theless gladly welcome at any time
and for any good and honorable
cause assistance from the excellent
voters Of Chicago's charming little
neighbor by the lake.
