DEAR jim IS DEAD.

With profound and sincere sorrow
we to-day discharge the sad duty Of
chronicling the death Of our esteemed
fellow citizen and co.laborer In the
ranks OF journalism, James Sullivan,
OF the Tribune.
In the first sudden shock oc.
casioned by his untimely demise 1t 10
dif,icult to realize and fully appreci.
ate the loss which not only newspa.
DER circles but the community has
sustained In the taking OF Of this
magnificent journalist. Later on,
when we miss his genial smile and
cheerful voice from the places where
we were wont to meet them, the con.
viction will come home to Us that Q
bright light-a kindly light-has
gone out forever.
James Sullivan was typical re.
porter. He never aspired to any
higher flights In the region Of jour.
nalism than to be "a chiel among Us
takin' notea" Fearless and faithful
he was In o profession that needs both
qualities to constitute perfection.
Peerless as o news gatherer, strong
and forceful as a writer Of facts, not
soon shall we LOOK upon his like
again.
While the mellow notes Of his ma
tive Limerick yet fingered on bis
tongue, there burned In his manly
heart a deep and tender love OF the
green old land that gave him birth,
though many long years have sped
since he babe good.by to the Shan
mons banks and the classic wales OF
his native Munster. With him, after
fealty as a citizen to his adopted
country, devotion to motherland was
one OF the main objects OF life.
Nor was his the kind OF Irish pa
triotism that expended itself In
mere verbal pyrotechnics. Sullivan's
love OF his native land was Of the
practical kind.
There are peasants on the bleak
hillsides OF Connemara to-day, and
men who live In shanties near New
Tipperary, who have felt the benefit
OF the influence OF James Sullivan In

Irish Parliamentary fund.
He died fittingly, on the day which

pendence. He was an American
first and above all. In the molding
OF the public affairs OF the country
James Sullivan was more of a factor
than is generally known.
He was always power for good.

Track ELEVATION.

Mayor Hopkins has once again sue.
ceeded in bringing the question Of
track elevation into the region of
practicability and attainment The
Council committee to which the
matter had been referred several
weeks ago, and where It was believed
by many to be chung up" and
"shelved" indefinitely, has, through
the persistent activity Of the Mayor,
been prodded into action and com.

This report is favorable to the
passage of an ordinance, the creation

will be acceptable to the two rail.
roads commemorative Rock Island
and the Lake Shore.
There IL little doubt that this ordi.
nance will be passed by the City
Council. It Is . measure that Is des.
tined to be the thin end Of the wedge
In the direction Of track elevation
and the abolition Of Grade crossing.
There are one or two men like Aid.
John O'Ncill who will set up against
II q factious opposition, based partly
upon mere personal vanity and part.
~ upon an overweening anxiety for
the interests OF q certain terminal
system with which the name OF an
ex.army general Is prominently con.
nected.
Such unworthy opposition as this,
however, will not prevail against the
earnest and active work Of Chicago's
able young Mayor. The ordinance
will probably be passed by the City
Council next Monday night, and the
first step will be taken toward the
great and needed reform Of track Gle.
walton and grade crossing abolition.
Mayor Hopkins deserves the thanks
and support Of the community for his
splendid services In this direction.
While previous administrations
talked about track elevations, the
Hopkins administration has started

Mayor Hopkins has demonstrated
that the excuses OF the railroads were

and appropriate address, presented to
Mai. a L. Hartridge the gold medal

were also made by DR.. r. j. Mum who
was present, and who was member OF
the old Savannah chess club with Maj

The medal presented last night is very
pretty in design, and is of solid gold.

business men of the north with the Sen

Generally he found the feeling in favor of
MIR. Cleveland's views on the question of
raw materials. The business situation is
