TIE London clubs, which have
been suffering from the hard times,
are considering, as an emergency
measure, the admission of women as
guests, perhaps even as members. OF
course the bare proposal has raised q
howl of disapproval from the more
conservative class Of clubmen, who
have unanimously resOrted to the
Englishman's usual expedlent when
he thinks his rights are In danger OF
invasion - writing letters to the
Times. These letters are Of all sorts
and degrees of composition. but
unanimous Us to purpose, and their
number indicates either that there is
an overwhelming sentiment against
the admission Of the ladies' to the

UxJvST cRi1iciSM OF THE MAyOR

When Mayor Hopkins critics shall
have regained their senses and re.
covered from the 1T Of Mysteries pro.
duced by the bursting OF a petty
bubble In the Council, and the froth-
ings OF a set Of hoodlums who have
been chosen as Grand Jurors by the
set Of political pot.boys who consti.
tute the County Board they will,
perhaps, be ashamed OF their present
utierances. 1t Il seldom that THE
EAGLE has toditYer with its esteemed
contemporaries, the Record and Daily
News. In their opinions and pro.
nouncements on public men and cur.
rent public Affairs. and 1t Is sorry to
tc compelled to do SO In this instance.
These two newspapers are usually
independent, honest, and unbiased.
They have hitherto given Mayor
Hopkins credit for what he has done,
and made excuse for the difficulties
under which he has manfully labored
to do his full duty.
They will, We trust, recover their
usual mental balance after the first
heat OF their anger over the defeat Of
u cherished FAD Is over.
They will ere long give credit to
Mayor Hopkins for being the most
fearless and honestly aggressive chief
executive which this city has ever
had. They will acknowledge that he
has pushed great, and what has been
for years considered impossible, re.
forms 20 a practical and satisfactory
issue. They will admit that
for the first time the elevation
OF railroad tracks and the
abolition OF grade crossings has
been pushed from the region OF specu.
iation and theory to that OF fact and
action. That for the drst time the
interests of the city and the COM
munity have been protected from
grasping corporations, and that the
taxpayers now get some return for
valuable privileges granted by their
representatives.
1t will be conceded that peace and
vood order are maintained, that the
efficiency OF the various departments
has been increased, and at the same
time the pay.rolls reduced. We re.
peat, when the Mayors censors re.
cover their usual mental equilibrium
they will be ashamed OF themselves.

TO begin with they subppnaed the
Mayor and examined him upon the
subject.
The Mayor told the Grand Jury all
he knew about gambling, which was
not mach, as his Honor is not a
sport; whcreupon the foremin dis.
closed the astounding fact that he

about gambling but was a frequent
visitor to the places in which Dame
Fortune is usually wooed. The
Mayor, Of course, admitted that there
Is now, as there always has been,
and as there always will be, gam.
bling, and public gambling at that.
He declared It was impossible 10
stamp out the evil. and that 1t is best
to regulate 1t and mini. nize its effects
rather than to attempt the impossi.
blc-its complete eradication. The
Grand Jury will find out the truth of
the Mayors words before It
gets through with It's labors.
Meanwhile, Of course, the public
Is RECALLED with the usual hash that
Is dished up for Its delectation on
such occasions. All sorts OF lies and
Misrepresentation are banded about
and put into circulation. The pub.
lie, however, has Icing ago grown
used to this sort of thing and takes
but little stock In II. Results speak
louder than words. We shall await
with some curiosity the result Of the
present Grand Jury's attempt to sup.
press gambling. II II ever gets be.
yond the limit of a few platttudes
and stale truisms, cooked up in q
so.called report, THE EAGLE will be
much mistaken. And yet, 40 doubt,
the city administration will be criti

THAT SUNDAY REST ORDINANCE.


assailed because he has had the
temerity to veto the sO.called sun.
day rest" ordinance.
The Record and Evening News are
particularly harsh In their criticisms
on this subject, but although both
Of these papers are usually fair and
just in their editorial utterances, no
good reason has As yet been given by
either for the attack upon the Chief
Executive. Our esteemed contempt.
raries should bear In mind that the
city Of Chicago IL no mere down.
East Yankee vlllage. It IL q great
city with cosmopolitan population.
The ideas which are entertained by
the editors Of our contemporaries re.
Rarding the manner In which the
Sabbath should be spent are the ideas
OF the minority.
1t took about i2O, 900 Democratic
and liberal votes to elect John r.
Hopkins Mayor OF Chicago, and in
that large number there were very
few that represented persons Of the
belief that to whistle or kiss ones wife
on Sunday is sinful and damnablc.
That there are few such people In
Chicago there Is no denying. but
they are hOpelessly IN the minority.
Now the Mayor o: Chicago Is elected
not to carry into effect the fads Of
wOuld.be rcf0rmers, but to administer
the affairs Of the city In q manner
pleasing to the greatest number Of
his constituents, because the Mayor,
like all public officials In this coun.
try, Il but the creature Of the people,
and holds office merely for the pur.
pose OF carrying out the wishes and
objects OF his creators.
We claim that Mayor Hopkins 10
doing and has been doing this. The
people Of this great city are not 10
favor OF u puritanical Sunday. Tho
great majority not only desire to
make Of 1t day Of rest, but they
look upon 1t as holiday. They like
to take their wives, children and
sweethearts to the parks or some
other place OF innocent recreation or
amusement on Sunday. Their needs
for the day must be supplied, and 50
long as there are people requiring
service and willing to pay for 1t just
So long will there he other people
willing to sell their labor and thus
make capital out Of the opportunity.
So the Mayor has very naturally
come to the conclusion that the "Sun.
day rest" ordinance was but q fad,
based upon UtOplan ideas, and not u
practical measure framed to give the
greatest amount of good to the great
est number. He recognized the fact
that 1t would he an injustice to deny
to a workingman that which the rich
man can have In his club or on "the
Lords day"
The Mayor Is right. His veto mes.
sage was model OF strong argument
and good diction. The reasons set
forth for his action are sound and
have not been successfully attacked
by his critics. Mayor Hopkins, like
all OF his predecessors, will have to
stand the assaults Of men with axes
to grind, hut will no doubt do as so
many other Mayors OF Chicago have
managed to do-his duty as he IN.
derstands 1t, irrespective OF carping
critics In the press or elsewhere.
