If a similar character in New York,

Of q similar character in New York
this victory for law and order seems
to indicate that municipal reform has
come to stay. The greater significance
of these victories is in the racI that
| the great cities dominate the politics
and control the vote of the state, and
hence the nation. More than once has
New York city held the balance OF
power which determined the choice OF
a president. Under such conditions i,
| is quite essential that the greater cities
! should be in the hands of law abiding
| trustworthy officials.
The revenues of these large cities are
n great temptation to the rogue and
the boss in politics. They make their
combinations with that element which
is easily modelled and voted in a
body. 1t is the class, most tractable,
INSCRIPTIONS. and stops at nothing
which serves the one purpose of keep
ing their leaders in Office. Once the
capital crime of prostituting the ballot
lie fund is rewarded a minor Offense
Such has been the rule under the long
reign Of Tammany in New York. The
leaders have piled up their millions,
and, though hurled from their high
places at the late election, they leave a
legacy of debt upon the tax payers for
which there has been no'adequate re-
turn. This gang has had its imitatorS
in most of the larger cities OF the
country. Chicago is q good second to
the great looted municipality of Man
haitian Island. The west is enterpriS-
ing and even ambitious TO keep
abreast of the times in everything
which savors of Improvement on the
Oldm ethOds. Not to be outdone, the
boodlers of the Windy Wonder city
are right up to date in every appliance
for successfully fleeing the public ac-
cording to the latest approved methods
of TammOny, but, thanks to the better
element who yet rule the destiny of
this country, they will step down and
out. The badge of disgrace which they
have voluntarily put upon themselves,
should mark them forever as suitable
candidates for private life, if they
should have the luck to escape penal
Servitude
Chicago has made a decade of his
tory in a day. Her best people have
shown that they Outnumber the thugs
by perfectly safe majority. She will
share the credit of New York in tax
ing a stand for municipal reform and
good government. 1t remains to be
seen what new device is to be adopted
by the bosses and boodlers, or in what
way the alien and the Anarchist may
be used to aid in defeating the opera
ton of lay in the great cities. 1t is
safe to assume that there are few
ldlerS in that line of industry.

WHAT Is AN "IT.n

There is an odd new, not to say
startling trend to much of the litera

of late. For the most part it is the

church. These writer's in demanding
universal suffrage attribute it's failure
to strife growing out of sex. They
talk of possible reincarnation and of
