What the Mayor Of Chicago Has to DO.
(WashinQfon POst1


The Mayor Of Chicago, Hon. John Hop
kins, who Is here with a delegation Of
his fellow-citiZens TO try to induce Con-
gress to authorize a new government
building in the Lake City. was seen at
the Arlington conversing with Congress
men Durborow and McGann. Mayor Hop
kins is young man. not yet 80 ye'rs of
age, very good looking, very engaging
In manner. very stylish In dress. good
talker, and not in the least conceited. In
conversation with Post reporter he said:
II shall give UP the Mayoralty next
spring without a pang of regret. It's a
great office, but the filling of II is a
thankless task, and a man will live ten
years I'm the two that he serves there.
used to be a rampant spokesman, but
now I'm a civil-service reformer all the
way through. The experience OF making
1900 appointments has converted me.
would advocate now the plan OF giving
the Mayor of great metropolis the right
of making removals from Office. but no
power of appointment. Three fourths OF
my time Is taken up with listening to
people who want to serve the city in some
capacity. | can't refuse to see these peo-
pie. because they elevated me TO office,
and have a right to be heard, but some
I times l feel as though I'd like TO slip
remote seas, where politics and office
holding are an unknown art, and there
rest up for a little spell.
Chicago isn't half az wicked a city
as some people like to make out and the
creation Of a LeXow Committee would
be unnecessary We might have Individual
cases OF wrong-doing by the police but
there is no organized corruption or sys-
tematic levying Of blackmall on the
criminal classes. No such system could
grow up ia Chicago, because its munich
pal government has been administered by
different political parties with almost
unvarylng alienation for the last ten
years. When the Democrats come in,
they make 4 clean sweep of Republican
| office-holders. and vice versa The cap
tains OF police are moved about freely,
and no man stays in one district longer
than year.

the excitement was at Its height. Cards

A Good Place for Northern Manufac-
turers-Personals and Briefs.

The fact that cotton manufacturers In
the North are considering the advisabih-
ty OF moving their plants TO the South
where sites can be secured more rea-
sonably and freights will not be so hish'

Manchester. Factory sites OF the most
desirable character can be secured on
the water-line. and shipping facilities are
excellent. Both of the great railroad
systems that pass through the cotton,

etc. Manchester can hold out most en-
cellent inducements. and some time ago
the Council offered free sites to manu-
featuring enterprises who would come
