IL was because they did not do their duty
as citizens.
This speech naturally created something
of a sensation. II was a timely lecture
and IL may prove profitable not only to the
business men OF Chicago, but to those OF
other communities as well. Every city
government is certain 10 be FAR from per-
feet unless every citizen takes an interest
IN that government The abuses OF mu-
nicipal administrations are due 10 the fact
that too many people fan to take an In
terest in the choice or support of city Off
cials until they are directly affected as
Individuals by the action of those officials.
Leading business men are prone TO talk
OF reform and like TO suggest the running
OF city governments according to plain
business principles, but when 1t comes to
performing the essential duties Of citizens
by choosing good men for office and taking
that active interest In city affairs that viii
insure good government, there are too
many who viii be called upon In vain.
Mayor Swift has had to overcome all the
difficulties which at present must be met
by nearly every city administration in the
country. No doubt the representative bus
mess men all over the land have reasons
for not being thoroughly satisfied with the
way in which municipal affairs are con
Quoted. but in many instances it will prob
ably be found that the trouble can in great
measure be traced 10 their own apathy
and lack OF interest on occasions when
every man should be doing his whole duty
and exercising his fun rights as citizen.

The People and Coast Defense.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
It is highly significant that petitions for
the erection of suitable coast defenses are
beginning TO pour in upon congress from
American seaboard cities. "A year ago it
would have been impossible to arouse public
interest in this question. Now the people
on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts are
thoroughly awake to the vital importance
OF adequate protection for the long line
of seaports. in which property worth
thousands of millions of dollars has been
piled up A meeting OF the senate commits
tee on coast Notifications will be held i'm
mediately to consider Senator Squire's bill
approprat ting sS7,000.00o to be expended
during a term of years in giving American
seaports a strong system of defense. Gen.
Miles. the commanding officer OF the
United States army; Gen. Flagler. chief
of ordnance, and Gen. Craighill, chief Of
engineers, are TO submit reports outlining
the requirements of the situation. and Ii is
to be hoped that congress will be induced
TO take some decisive action toward remedy
ing the present shameful condition OF af-
fairs.

The attorney general of Mississippi
wants the legislature OF that state 10 pass
a bill which provides that the heirs OF the
victim OF a mob shall be paid damages
from the treasury OF the county where the
crime occurs. that the sheriff and his dep
uties shall he held liable for failure TO pro-
tect their prisoner. and that ali persons
who have taken part in lynching shall
be DISTINGUISHED. He wants a consrtu-
tional amendment adopted requiring each
applicant for registration TO take oath
that he has not been engaged, directly or
Indirectly. in a lynohing. This plan has its
merits. but the people of Mississippi will
hardly be in sympathy with the attorney

confessed that January will show a deficit
OF Soc 10000 or $4,000, 900. because OF in

look as small as possible.
