For the benefit of these corpora.
lions aldermen are willing to saddle
their constituents with expensive
improvements" which are neither
needed nor appropriate.
One Of the best suggestions yet
made in regard to this branch of the
question under discussion Is that, in.
stead Of referring orders for ord finances
for special assessment to the commits.
sioner of Public Works, they should
be referred to committee before
whom the property owners could
state their case, and the duty of
which would be to ascertain whether
such improvement was needed, de.
manded by the property owners, and
suitable to the requirements.
With Aid. Madden in the van of
the crusade, 1t ia safe to say the spc.
cial assessment system will receive
another and much-needed overhaul.

THE WOMAN,S Ri0HTS FAD

Among the gratifying results of
Tuesdays registration was the we'll.
merited rebuke administered by the
good housewives, matrons, and maids
OF Chicago to their strong.minded
sisters, who have been screeching Tor
"equal suffrage" "wOman's rights, !"
and all the rest OF 1t from every plat.
form to which they could gain admi,.
sion In this city for years.
1t was a cold dOuche, such q one
as will, II we mistake not, make the
chills run down the yetebral columns
OF these short-haired but long.
winded females for some time to
come.
A registration OF 10, 900 out OF AGO.
900 Is an unanswerable declaration on
the part of the women OF Chicago
that they know their proper sphere
and will not leave it at the bidding OF
a lot OF cackling old spinsters
or childless notoriety seekers. The
good mother with rising family of
children-thOse sunbeams OF the
homestead around her--has some.
thing else to think about than the
registry or the elections. The modest
maiden, with youth and beauty on

history of this county has so much
well directed activity, such thorough.
ly drilled and disciplined party work,
so much loyalty and enthusiasm to the
cause of party duty, been shown by the
local Democracy. With an organiza.
ton perfect In its every detail, the
Democratic managers were enabled to
get out a tremendous array of votes
at the places of registration. In al.
most every Democratic ward immense
gains on the registry are shown. The
grand old Nineteenth takes the place
OF honor, with an increase in the
registered vote of more than 3,O0C
over that 1892. The gallant Twenty.
ninth, the Eighteenth, the Tenth,
and other Democratic strongholds
also did splendidly. Those who
sneered and gibed at the reputation
accorded Mayor Hopkins as a great
party leader and a superb organizer
have been rudely awakened to the
fact that the man was worthy of the
reputation. The snccr and the gibe
have given place to surprise and ap.
prehension. The power and ability
of the adversary they affected to
scoff at have been demonstrated
anew, and the fact that they regard
the Democratic leader with feelings
akin to dismay Is proven by the cries
Of fraud" stuffed registers" colo.
nization," etc. as we'll as the cries OF
warming and hys.erical appeals for
action, vigilance on election day."
and so forth, with which some OF the
Republican leaders and organs daily
regale the public. Statesmen of ma.
tional reputation. including Gov. Nc.
kinley OF Ohio and Congressman
Thomas b. Reed of Maine, are being
imported here to enter the lists in
Cook County, and by their words and
presence keep the courage of the
party up to the proper fighting notch.
Meanwhile Mayor Hopkins and his
able lieutenants so serenely along.
keeping their organization in splen.
did trim, daily STRENGTHENING 1t and
adding to its effectiveness; all of
which goes to show that the Demo.
cratic party In this county has rca.
son to be proud of Its leader, and to
look forward with hopeful anticipa.
ton to the ides OF November.

PURE KNOWHOTHiN0iSM.

Thomas Cusack reported tn the
Democratic Executive Committee
that the Republican election officers
had prevented many Bohemian and
Polish Democratic voters from regis.
tering In the Ninth and Tenth
wards The Republicans required
many Of these voters to exhibit their
naturalization papers before permit
ting them to register. Fred Walls,
who sought to register In the
thirteenth precinct of the Ninth
Ward, was not allowed to do
so until he produced his nat.
uralization papers. In many cases
the demand for the production
Of the papers was made late In the
evening and there was not time for
the voters to go to their homes and
return with the documents. DIR.
Jlrka, member OF the Board OF Edu.
cation, protested against the injus-
ticc Of such a ruling, but the Repub.
llcan officials ignored his protests.
The matter will be brought before
the Election Commissioners. Under
the law a voter does not have to pro-
duce his naturalization papers when
he offers to register. Mr.. Cusack
says that hundreds OF Democratic
names will be added to the registry
lists IN the Ninth and Tenth Wards
next Tuesday.

VOW FOR PROHIBITION!

1t Is said that the Republicans,
seeing the hopelessness OF their efforts
to carry the election single.handed In
Cook County, are preparing to make a
deal with the Prohibltlonists. In
order to secure the support Of the
prohibition element they will agree,
In the event they control the Legis-
lature, to submit amendments to the
constitution to prohibit the liquor
traffic and to give equal suffrage to
women. 1t Is not Improbable that
the Pr0hibitiOnists will consent to
the deal. as they will be led to be.

HON. ANDREW ]. RYAN,
Attorney for the Town Of West Chicago

There can be nothing more encour.

than the study Of the life and habits
Of a man who has risen to prom.
inence ind popularity FRI IN the lower
walks Of life. II we look to-day to
the past lives OF the acknowledged
successful business men OF this city,
we will lind almost invariably that
they are those who have risen gradu.

and, In the face Of the NEST bitter
trials and seemingly insurmOuntable
difficulties, have ut length, by self.
reliance, energy, perseverance, and
honesty, overcome every obstacle to
that success for which they had SO
long and SO perseveringly striven.
Such an example Is Andrew J. Ryan,
the present West Town Attorney.
Born In Chicago In 1868, he attended
the public school until he was ten
years OF age, and was then compelled,
through force OF circumstances, to
commence work. lie first entered
the employ Of Marshall Field 4 Co.
as cash hoy, where he worked one
year, and then left to take the posi-
ton of errand boy with the mercan.

THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT FRAUD.

1t Is to be hoped that the crusade
begun by Alderman Madden against
the present Ubiquitous special assess.
ment system Will result In the sue.
cessful Inauguration of the sweeping
reform aimed at by the able repre-.
sentative Of the Fourth Ward.
The monstrous outrages practiced
through the cumbersome machinery
OF this department have been time
and again exposed and publicly de.
nounccd. The fact that, not long
age, a sum OF over $500, 900. made up
OF Overcharges against taxpayers for
public improvement, had to be GOV.
cred into the general fund because
those despoiled Of the money had
been unable to get II back. under tile

ten again. The hardships to which
property.Owners are exposed through
the suspicious compliance OF Alder.
men who have neither conscience.
honor nor integrity have been held
up time and again to the public gaze.
That many OF these unworthy repre-.
sentatives OF the taxpayers are more
interested In forwarding the inter.
ests OF certain pet contractors and
paving corporations, there Is no gain.
saying. When AID. Madden attacked
the perniclous and cumbersome sys.
TEN that has been for years In vogue
In the Department OF Special Assess.
ments he did II with such vigor and
to such purpose that many OF the
prevailing abuses were wiped out and
better methods OF doing business
adopted. Notable among the abuses
rectifed was the system ri rebate.
Instead of assessing a taxpayer about
twice as much as the work was
worth, or the contract subsequently
made called for, and paying the over.
plus back II the taxpayer ever found
time to call for 1t, and SO through
the circumlocution office at the City
Hall, the reform instituted by
Aid. Madden provided that the
bids be advertised for and the con-
tract let before the assessments be
spread, and that the assessments be
made on the basis OF the lettings.
The n ew system, however, did moi
suit the contractors. Among othel
disadvan tages to these people, 1t de
prived them OF their extras, which
constituted, and do now constitute,
very Juicy and succulent auxiliary
plum to the contractors. That thu
needs and welfare OF the contractor,
and the corporations were paramount
TO the interests OF the people In thu
minds OF q majority OF the city faith
ers Is proven by the fact that, alters

Madden ordinance was repealed.
The old system Is now In vogue, bu
Aid. Madden Is once again fitting a

monstrous abuse is not again over
thrown by the chairman of thu
finance committee.
