The talk Of q gerrymander OF the
city by the Republican Aldermen is
simple bosh and absurdity.
As matters stand now, 1t would
seem to the ordinary observer that
tho Republicans have far and away
the best OF 1t under the present city
apportionment. Chicago Is q city
that IL now acknowledged to be
Democratic by . substantial and
safe majority, yet under the
existing arrangement OF the wards
the Council Is Republican by forty.
two to twenty.six. 1t is difficult To
see how even Republican commit
tee or Council can improve upon
such gerrymander as this, and It Is
safe to say that any attempt to do 20
would be necessarily 40 outrageous as
to merit the veto Of the Mayor. Even
on strictly party lines on q ques.
ton Of this kind the Republicans
could not command q full party vote,
while no Democrat would dare to
break away on such proposition.
Even on a straight division on party
questions, the Republicans cannot
have q tw0.thirds vote Of the Coun.
Gil, and 1t Is therefore absolutely Ger.
tain there will be no redistricting OF
the city on improved Republican
party lines.

AN increasing danger, not only to
the express companie but to travel.
ers by rail. il to be found in the fact
that amateurs have evidently taken
to train robbery. The professional
bandit OF the Younger and James
type did his work neatly, quickly and
expeditiously. He killed no one
wantonly. lie knew his business
The amateur Is a bungler. His mode
CT operation, as shown In the at.
tempted "hold.up" at Lincoln and
the attempted train wrecking near
Worthiugton, MIMI, Is without sys.
TEN and without any regard for hu.
man life. Instead OF tagging the
train and getting control of the en-.
gineer the amateur seeks to cause
wreck, hoping to loot the express car
In the confusion. Or he attacks
trains bearing no treasure, and hav.
Ing shot men rccklessly and useles,ly
he retreats without any booty. His
operations are unskillful, murderous
and Improbable. He Stays innocent
people with little hope of gain, and
he should himself be slain wherever
found. He Is the ass in the lions

THE MAyOR Will DO MS DU1Y.

A great Juror has been raised by
people OF a certain class namely,
the good persons who live around
Ashland boulevard and neighbor.
hoOd-over the proposed reopening Of
the Garfield race.track. The good
people have seized With avidity upon
the proposition and converted II into
an opportunity to worry the life out
Of the Mayor.
They have had grievances, they
say, and they have poured them with
unctuous rendition and rounded sen.
fences into the weary tympanum
Of John p. Hopkins. They assured
him they were with him In "this
thing" and "wonld be unto the end. Z"
They declared they would stand by
the Mayor and would support him. +"
No doubt they would until on. and
after next election day.
These high.sounding platitudes and
pleasing assurances the Mayor, no
doubt, received for what they were
worth. Like the astute and honora.
BILE official that he Is, Mayor Hopkins
made no rash promises, but tod
those ardent supporters Of his that
he would consider the whole matter,
and incidentally their claims aud
protestatione, and base bis decision
upon the law.
There IL no doubt as to what
the. law 10 10 the case. The
Mayor, II he should refuse
q license, can be mandamused. and
the old, old fight will be thereby
precipitated. The Mayor will have
to be guided by the courts decision
In the matter, and, furthermore, up.
on his own ideas Of right and justice.
Upon those aud not upon promises Of
support by dyed.in.the.wool Repub-
licans will the Mayor base bis action
In the premises.

CONE, CONE. AID. DWELL.

Aid. John O'Neill is long on wind
and short on sense. There are few
who will accuse the worthy Alderman
from the Thirty fourth Ward Of un.
worthy motives, but there are many
who will agree In the assertion that
he IL making monkey Of himself {. "
AID. O'Neill has rendered the city
good service 10 the past in the cam.
paign for track elevation and the
abolition Of grade crossings, but Of
late he has put himself In the posi-.
ton Of the COW who gave q 6ne pail
Of milk and then kicked II over.
Without "rhyme Or reason" Mr..
O'Neill, at the last meeting of the
City Council, introduced an ordi.
nance repeating Mayor Hopkins
measure for the elevation of the
tracks Of two railroads, and then
had the repeating ordinance referred
to committee Of which he (Mr.
O'NeilD Is chairman. The ordinance
which II ID proposed to repeal Is
regarded by all thinking persons as
the tirst practical step toward the
solution Of the much.vexed question
of the abolition OF grade crossings.
Had II been treated and handled
properly by the Council 1t Is probable
that the railroads would have &C.
cepted the measure and thus inserted
the thin end Of the wedge into this
knotty old problem Of grade crossing.
Asit 10, the railroads have, through
Mr.. O'Neill's n0nsensical action, been
given . breathing spell, and now II Is
said the Rock Island and Lake Shore
companies are once more rampant
and defiant. Mr.. O'Neill has q few
Insignificant alleged local grievances
to show a. an excuse for his conduct.
Beyond this The Alderman from the
Thirty.fourth says there Is no other
consideration back OF his acts In the
matter.
1t Is not only charitable but per.
haps just to accept Aid. O'Neill's
word on this phase OF the case, but 1t

RIFFS IN the CLOUDS.

Although the fall campaign has
not yet been fairly begun. IL has he.
come at the outset apparent that in
took County and Illinois there is no
certainty Of q Republican landslide
this fall.
or course there are many circum.
stances that tend to give comfort to
the Republican mind and imagina.
tiOn, but there are also a few hard
facts that act as q sort of corrective
to those who are disposed to rush of
into exuberant enthusiasm.
Let US take q case In point.
The City Council, as re.
suit Of the last spring election, Is
overwhelmingly Republican, yet In
the election Immediately preceding
this the city went safely Democratic
for John p. Hopkins for Mayor. The
only lesson to be drawn from this Is
that the city has been gerrymand.
cred as to wards, for the benefit
Of the Republican party, and as re.
suit the Council Is Republican, while
the Mayor and the executive end Of the
administration Is Democratic. With
normal vote the city Of Chicago
should give majority Of ut least ten
thousand to the Democratic ticket.
The country towns, with their aggre.
gate Republican majority Of four or
five thousand, cannot overcome this,
and with such q margin-from four
to five thousand majority every
Democratic nominee on the Cook
County ticket this fall should be
elected.
In the case Of the State election
conditions are different.
Under present circumstances, IL
would appear that Republican nom.
inees for Office would have no dim.
Guilty in winning out. There are,
however, complications that may In.
terfcre with the turning Of the tide
in the direction Of Republication In
the State. There are but two offices
to be filled, namely, State Treasurer
and Superintendent Of Public In.
structlon.
For the former q Cook County man
OF exceptional popularity-Henry
Wuln-is the leading candidate from
Cook. His candidacy, however, has
stirred up such q discussion
and wordy warfare among the Repub.
lican party leaders over an appar.
emily Insignificant question, that
wounds and scars that will not soon
heal must inevitably be the result.
However the controversy over the
question Of one or two conventions
may end a. to the Republican nomi.
nee, It cannot but conduce to the in.
jury of both the State and county
tickets, and thus II Is entirely posi-.
BILE, II not probable, that Cook
County and Illinois may contribute
another victory to the Democratic
party, even In the hour Of general
gloom and impending disaster.

THE terrific row kicked up over tie
st. Gaudens medal by the Senate
Worlds Fair Committee moves an
Eastern contemporary to suggest that
there should be q national art bureau
to pass upon such matters as the Co.
lumbian medal. The suggestion does
not appear feasible. The disagree.
ments among doctors are feeble and
puny compared with the pitched bat
ties between artists OF different
schools, No man could hold the 20.
sition Of chief OF the proposed art
bureau for a month. He would favor
some parti ,ular artistic cult or school,
ana as u result mighty roar would
70 up from all the other cults and
schools demanding his impeachment
and removal. II he stood to his guns
his decisions would be ridiculed and
his motives questioned. His work
world be OF no value whatever, be.
cause nine.tenths OF the artists would
proclaim him to be an ignoramus and
q charlatau. The Senate committee
IL had enough, but o bureau Of art
would be infinitely worse F0rtu.

services Of such q, bureau. Columbia
medals will MT be needed again for
q century at least, and II the modest.
minded Senators want to put trousers
on 1t. Gaudens' young man, they had
better be allowed to do IL. 1t will be
better than opening Pandoras box by
