City Ownership of a Railway.

II the scheme which looks so feasible
on paper should be duly carried out,
then in course Of time Chicago will be
the owner Of an elevated railway lead
ing from the heart of the city to an in
definite distance on the North Side. The
road will be called the North Side ele-
waited. The promoter" of the scheme,
which may be either very good or a
very bad one, is Mr.. Marcus Pollasky, a
Chicago lawyer.
The plan proposed is that the Chicago
council shall charter and authorize an
issue of bonds for the road. The rail.
road company. however, will actually
issue the bonds to the amount of sl0, 600. :
600 in shares of 500 each. All the peo-
pie of Chicago, small investors as well
as heavy ones, are invited to put their
money into these bonds, which bear per
cent interest. The capital stock of the
company shall be at par value Of SlO,-
100000. Eleven trustees or commission
ers designated by the railroad COM
pany" shall manage its affairs.
After the operating expenses, interest
and all other charges shall have been
paid the net earnings remaining shall 60
to the city of Chicago. After five years,
If it so chooses, the city may call in the
bonds, pay them and itself become the
owner of the road, subject always, how
ever, to the management of the COM
pany. For their share of the profits Mr..
Pollasky and his organizers get per
cent of the capital stock and per cent
of the company's bonds.

A plan has been sketched out by an
Englishman, DR.. G. w. Sleeves, for se-
curing at all times the sanitary condi-
ton Of dwelling houses, from the palace
to the tenement. He calls his idea a
scheme Of sanitary insurance.
he recommends that the authorities of
. city in the interests of public health
organize it into sanitary insurance dis
tcicts. There shall be q board of in
spectors to visit all buildings in their
district not less than three times a year.
They shall examine, register and classify
all houses, old and new, granting certifi-
Gates Of sanitation for such as human
beings can live in without detriment to
health. They shall also provide the
most approved appliances whereby a
house owner may put his buildings in
good sanitary condition.
There should be added to their powers
also that Of insuring buildings against
bad sanitation that is, in considera-
ton Of q proper sum paid per year by
the owner of a horse the board agrees to
watch it and keep it in thoroughly good
condition as to plumbing, ventilation,
etc. With certificates OF sanitation
granted to all owners of houses in first
class condition, the unsanitary ones
would be rooted ont of city in years
time. for nobody would rent the build
ing that could not show q clean bill of
health. Owners belonging TO the sani-
tary insurance association would have
the preference always. 1t ought not to
be hard to arrange the details of such a
plan for sanitary insurance.

Great An,ericans.

Who arc our great men that are really
typical Americans? Mr.. Woodrow VIII
son undertakes to answer the question
in The Forum. He dismisses Alexander
Hamilton and President Madison as
great Englishmen bred in America"
On the other hand, however, he classes
Washington, who in many characteristics
resembled these two, as typical Ameri-
can. He explains it by saying that
Washington was not at all the cold, col
orless, prudent individuality represented
by his biographers, but was as thorough
ly American as Jackson or Lincoln.
He informs us that what we take for lack
Of passion in him was "but the reserve
and self mastery natural to a man Of his
class and breeding in Virginia" The fact
that reserve and self mastery are natural
to them will be news to most men Of any
class IN Virginia probably.
John Adams and John c. Calhoun
come under Mr.. Wilson's category Of
great men, but they were not typical
Americans, because they were both pro-
vincial, he says-Adams New England
provincial, Calhoun southern one. In
Henry Clay we have an American of a
most authentic pattern" while Andrew
jackson. thoroughly great man, was
altogether of the west, we are told. Clay
and jackson We're somewhat alike, but
Clay had the 'art and sophistication Of
the eastern politician" If in these days
the eastern politician has more of art
and sophistication than the western one,
Americans are not aware of it.
Franklin Mr.. Wilson classes as a 'sort
Of multiple American" One would say
he was. A greater brain than his never
blessed this country with its wise
thoughts. Robert E. Lee was a great
typical American, too. the writer saws.
So was Daniel Webster. Emerson and
Asa Gray, the botanist, belong to the
world, not to America. They might
have been native to any cline"
Abraham Lincoln, however, Mr.. vii
son puts as the supreme American Of
our history" Other men belonged to
the east, the west or south. In Lincoln
the elements were combined and har-
monized. He was genius in the COM
mon thought of the American people
and genius likewise in the mastery of
fundamental politics. The whole coun-
Try is summed up in him."

The great peace ravies that have cost
so much money appear to be catching it
all around now, when there is a prospect
OF any OF them being wanted for actual
use. The charges in England against
the weakness and ineffciency of the ma
val fighting outfit are a menace to the
Gladstone administration. In the French
chamber of deputies N. Lockroy, SON.
in-law Of Victor Hugo, declared that the
French war vessels are inferior in speed.
number and everything else to those of
the other nations Of Europe. Much the
same statement was made in Great Brit
ain with regard to the navy of that
country, where it was said the Glad
stone government had permitted the
British navy to run down till it was far
inferior to that of France. Meantime
In America the United States govern
ment was considering the purchase
OF the Ericsson torpedo boat Destroy
er. About that time the Brazilian
government came along, however, and
purchased her for service against the
rebels. When she reached Rio from
New York, she was found to be leaking
badly and was said to be utterly unfit
for fighting service. The Brazilians re-
fused to accept her, though they had
bought her. This, with the fact that
our crack gunboats, Machias and Cas-
tine, have to be cut in two and pieced
because they are topheavy, looks as
though our navy was not much better
than tue rest Of them that are built in
time OF peace. Italy's is perhaps the
weakest and rottenest of all. owing to
the corruption in the state departments
Of that unhappy country.
