the LAKE FRONT ORDINANCE.

The Lake Front Park ordinance has
been passed almost entirely through
the exertions OF Mayor Swift and Aid.
NJ. b. Madden.
No sooner does It become law, how
ever. than there are ominous rulnb-
lings In the air Indicating a possible
purpose of diverting the measure from
and converting 1t TO another and en-
slrely different purpose. There are
significant rumors floating around that
after all the new Lake Front, when
turned from big basin Of Lake Michl.
gan water into one hundred and sixty
one acres Of solid earth, will be "too
valuable to be used for park purposes,
and used for wharvlng and dockage.
These rumOrs seem to be well found
ed, and are sufficient In themselves to
alarm all lovers OF this fair city Of
Chicago.
II there IS anything more than an.
other which threatens the future
growth, expansion and greatness OF
Chicago 1t Is the abnormal and extra.
ordinary congestion and concentration
Of business within the narrow limits OF
what IL known as the down town or
business district. Bounded by the
river on the north. Halsted street on the
west and Twelfth street on the south.
It contains all the business and traffic
Of the entire city. Anything there may
he outside these boundaries Is nothing
better than the small mountain rills
that 90 as tributaries to swell the
sweeping torrent and the roaring cata.
sact. The result OF this has been the
depreciation Of property throughout the
city outside the actual business center.
Stores can no longer be rented near
residence districts, the big down town
department stores gObble up every
ching, and the women Of Chicago are
compelled to degenerate into race of
bargain counter habitues and shop.
perx. The streets down town are SO
Giutted with traffic that they are now
almost impossible.
To create Lake Front wharv!ng and
d0ckage system on top of all that would
simply be TO accentuate and increase
enormously q condition that threatens
in the not distant future 10 he bane
and a curse to this city.
In addition to all this there Is SAVIOR

rificingly in and for the interests of the
people, as he saw them from his stand
point. throughout the entire negotla-
tons.
But the best may sometimes be mis-
taken.
The Eagle cannot withhold It's ad-
miration Of the splendid ability. the
ccaseless persistence, displayed by the
chief executive In pushing the whole
business through to a successful con-
summation In the Council. At the same
time Il is entitled to express its doubt,

Amelle Rives, who some years ago Oh

STILL ABUSING BADtNOCH.

Every once N q while there Is a hue
and cry raised In the newspapers about
an epidemic of crime; Il lot of cranks
go about in coats of armor with small
howitzcrs projecting and bullying from
every pocket. police alarm whistles In
their lips and idiotic terror In their
hearts and white livers. As a result of
these two conditions which may be set
down Us cause and effect. the chief Of
police has to be Jumped upon and at
tackled with all the froth. wind and fury
which these "epidemics" beget. The
Eagle has seen these bugaboo and
bogcyman campaigns now come up and
hold their brief reign of terror and
pass away periodically through several
decades In the history Of Chicago. and
many an investigation has served to
prove that In every instance they have
their origin largely In the fertile I'M.
aginations and facile pencils of the
police reporters when times are dull
and they are hard up for news.
These wild and wOOlly yarns are read
by a lot of wild-cycd old women mas.

against Chief Of Police BadenOch. He
Is held responsible for the yarns Of the
imaginative police reporters, ana the
vagaries ana cOck-and-bull stories Of
the whlte-livered cranks. As mat.

MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Dull but Steady-slisht Advance in
Some Grains.

There was dull steady market for wheat
today, with prices showing some little ad-
vance at the last part of the session. Early
cables were rather Indifferent in tone and
other markets were somewhat weak.
Receipts of wheat here were 215 cars, Of
which a fair proportion graded No 1 north
ern. The early decline in wheat futures
held buyers out of the market, but millers
were soon anxious bidders, raising their bid
to &c under May price for No. 1 northern.
As the market took on strength, outsiders
to lac under May price. No. 2 northern was
in fair Offering and sold readily at from 1c
to &c under No. l; low grade wheat dragged
a little early, but later few buyers came
ing all offerings on the usual basis. The
supply however, was small, and 1t did not
take a great deal Of buying to brace the
market a little. ''5'
Following are closing quotations: No.
hard, o. t., 53c; No. 1 northern, December,
51&c; May, $3.50; o. t., 51ac; No. north
ern, o. t., 50&c. Receipts Of wheat were 215
cars; shipments of wheat were Is cars. Du-
luth receipts of wheat were 215 cars. Flour
output week ending Dec 21. 27S,910 bbls.
CASH WHEAT-Millers advanced bids for
21ac paid Thursday. The cash situation is
strong, and in the absence of a sufficient
amount of No. 1 northern, bids were raised
on low grades of fair quality; No. | north,
northern about 1c under. Receipts here were
cars, against lat and 70 year ago.
FLOUR-The mills are running at about
the rate of 275, 900 barrels per week, some
thing unprecedented at this time of the year.
While sales for forward shipment small,
the stock Is going out on shipment directions,
and that demand is taking care of the output
nicely Quotations are unchanged, standing
at $2.9063.40 for first patents, $3.50 for do
mestic baker goods and $292. .25 for export
bakers.
HAY-offerings of hay were extremely
small, but the demand is so tame that values
could not be sprung a consequence. The
cheapness of feed stuffs in general prevents
an advance of the price Of hay. The best
stock coming is saiable at around $3.50, while
good hay can be had at around &C. Poor
stuff sells down to $3.50.
CORN - Offerings of corn on spot were
small this morning. most cars having been
applied on sales previously made to arrive.
Holders Of No. 3 yellow corn asked 23c early,
but later sold at 22a4c. No. 8 corn quoted
at 220221kc. No. yellow to arrive could
be sold at 221kc.
OATS = Offerings were smaller than has
been the case lately, but the demand was
not local enough to advance the price. Re-.
ceipts went into the general market, which
does not warrant an advance over what has
been quoted. No. 8 white oats can be had
at 16Ac when choice, and at 16c when rather
common. No. oats are quotable at $50
16c according to quality.
BARLEY-Receipts of barley are mostly
