posing the project" are all the people
who own property and reside on Lake
street between Eighth and Ninth, who
put in strong protest signed by the
entire frontage on both sides of said
block against granting a franchise
from Eighth to Ninth streets. They
make no objection to any other part of
said franchise. That is no funeral of
ours, yet an electric road on Seventh
street fromAlvarado toRampart streets
| should think might prove a prolific
cause for funerals and call forth
strong protest from all the people who
visit Westlake park, as it would greatly
endanger the public use of Seventh
street and prevent vehicles standing
near the music stand, as they now do
on Sunday afternoons. AS the ConSoli-
dated Electric road seems to want a
monopoly of the park. why not turn out
Sixth street from Alvarado street, con-
tinue their Ninth street line out to and
through Carondelet street and thus
connect their two lines at the Wiltshire
CD hotel, and have the whole territory
encircled? By this move they could
more effectually shut out and destroy
the usefulness of the Traction COM
pany's line on Eighth street than by
destroying the residence value of Lake
street. Thanking you for this space, I
am yours truly, w. E. HARRISON.

These are dangerous times--discon-

annually swarms up to the ballot box
and leaves it's damning impress upon
our legislative affairs. Now, is it wise,
is it patriotic, is it humane, to add to
this seething mass the universal ig-
norance of woman? I don't mean IL
lteracy, because woman is less illit-
crate than man. But she is ignorant OF
public affairs. Her sphere has been IN
the home. where it should remain, and
now to turn her loose in the political
arena without any training. with no
knowledge of the requirements neces-
sary to carry our country over these
dangerous times, is to let disaster run

Woman has had no training to prepare
her for suffrage. Outside of her home

CARLISLE AND THE CURRENCY

This is a dignified and proper attitude
which the secretary of the treasury takes
i'll regard to presidential nomination.
and it will be very likely to increase the
desire of conservative Democrats that he
shall be the party candidate.-Hartford
Times.
The Baltimore News (Democratic) be-
lieves that we still live in a time when
letter like Mr.. Carlisles advances the
writer in the eyes of the people more than
would the securing of the largest and
most expensive headquarters that Chi
cago can offer.
mo compromise on the financial issue
should be thought of in the Chicago CON
vention,' says the Jacksonville (Flal
Citizen (Democratic). The Democratic
platform this year must be so clear and ex-
plicit for sound money that nobody can
mistake it's meaning.
Mr.. Carlisle's letter. whether 1t be meant
to take him out of the presidential field or
not. contains one remark in which every
body ought to agree. He declares that. in
his opinion. the success of the Democratic
party depends less upon its choice of a can
didatc than upon its PLATFORM Herald.
The Chicago Chronicle thus sizes up the
situation: . The Democratic politician
whose foresight is of short range may
think 1t profitable to jump upon the free
silver platform Those who can look
ahead for year or two will conclude that
honesty is the best policy in business, in
money and In politics."

This improvement is ascribed largely to
