omar CAS- ron NEw YORK

Newspaper agitation has finally
aroused the lawmakers of New York
TO a sense of the duty they owe the
public and it now looks as if dollar
gas. which New York regards as very
cheap, was in sight.
For long time the people of the
boss-riddden metropolis have been
fighting the gas monopoly that has
been robbing the people, and now that
the victory of cheaper illumination is
almost in sight, the men who have
grown rich from advantages enjoyed
under unjust laws are getting angry
and saying harsh things about the mo-
tives back of the leaders of the move
ment. This is to be expected.
lIr. E. C. Benedict, for example, de-
nounces the blatherskite newspapers
that agitate for cheap gas and brings
an Indictment against the whole move
ment in this language: The present
agitation is all of a piece with the ten
dency of the times. The government
of this State is in the hands of three
houses. and the third house does bust
ness on the principle of stand and de-
liver. That's the way the Legisla-
ture treats corporations"
Mr. Benedict is an unwise million
aire if he means what he says about
the lobby of the New York Legisla-
ture. which in no essential respect
differs from the lobby of every other
State Legislature. Of course, the lob
by lives upon the corporation, and it
has a right to, because certain corpora
tions create it. Then if the lobby
makes the corporation stand and de-

of half a million men. What they num-
Der now is another question. The army
which the United States could put into
the field armed, equipped and trained,
which would, of course, include the
militia OF the States, and the naval
reserve on the coasts, would number
over ten millions. SPANS navy is
composed of II armored ships, l4O
unarmored, l armored gunboat, 43 I'M
armored gunboats, 2 despatch vessels
7 training and other vessels, and lZ3
tornedo boats. The total number Of
guns carried by the Spanish navy is 95o.
SPANS total active list of men IN the
navy is over $1,000 and her naval re-
serve $4,000. The United States have
80 armored ships, q unarmored, IL
Lnarmored gunboats,a 1Ndespatch yes
sci. 80 training and other vessels, and
nine torpedo boats. Besides these, the
limited States has a naval militia of
over $500 men and could summon
hundred times her present total official
strength on short notice in an emer-
gency. We would inform our cores
pondent that Spain would not be in
it" with the United States in case OF
war. Neither the American army or
navy are on a war footing, as are those
of most European countries, and it is
scarcely fair to make a comparison;
still. it wouldn't take Uncle Sam long
to get good and ready if the necessity
presented itself.-Ed.)

and yell and indulge in the luxury Of
craftsmanship in the national campaign
to his hearts content, but in NUM-
cipal affairs, he must pull in his par
tisan horns and keep an eye open to
the practical and business side of the
thing-the side that effects his pocket
nerve. When it comes down to a ques-
ton Of collecting and expending the
taxes, the partisanship of the average
taxpayer quickly melts under a COM
mon sense view of the situation, as it
should. and he does not inquire as 10
the Republicanism or Democracy OF
the candidates, but as to their fitness
TO manage the business affairs of the
city.
Partisan politics should have no
part. whatever, in the election Of city
officials. a city election is purely i
business matter, and those politicians
who try to make something else of it
and TO excite partisan animosity to
further their own personal ends, are
public enemies.
That radical reform in the manage
ment of municipal affairs is demanded
in this city is denied by no one except
the mercenary bosses who are run
ming the present administration. That
administration, it is also generally ac-
knowledged. is, especially in Council,
the most inefficient and unbusinesslike
that ever disgraced the City Hall.
A radical change is needed and the
only way to get it is to turn down the
professional politicians, or, rather, the
candidates they have put up, for their
election means the continuation of the
same old methods, the same old sub
serviency to machine politics and neg
lect of the peoples business, that has
made the City Hall the theatre of a
humiliating farce during the past two
years:
The present administration should
be turned down and out, neck and
crop, and the ticket the bosses that
ran the last Council put up over
whelmingly defeated.
If this is not done by the sensible peo-
pie of Wheeling regardless of party at
the coming election three weeks hence,
the next administration will be as bad
as the present, if not worse. Let
the voters carefully examine the
tickets and candidates in the field and
then resolve to turn down the City
Hall rims ticket of the bosses.

The Omaha World-Herald has editor
tally suggested that the Nebraska legis-
lature adopt a resolution advocating
uniform laws throughout the States
and authorize the Governor to appoint
three commissioners who are to take
the initiative and invite the legisla-
lures and executives of other States to
name similar commissioners, which
commissioners are to meet at some
point to he agreed upon, and frame a
divorce law to be submitted to the
legislatures of the various States. The
idea of our Western contemporary is
not new. but is none-the-less excellent.
We wish it success in its undertaking
and feel sure that its plan would re-
ceive hearty cooperation in this State,
for it coutemplates a reform long
needed.

The Officers Had to Climb Ladders to the
Eleventh Story.
New York, January S.-John L. Duffy
is foreman of the work on the electric
light building going up at the corner
of West and Bethune streets. Yester-
day Duffy ordered Robert Grant, a car
penter, to do something and was re-
fused. Duffy knocked the nan down.
Grant got warrant in Jefferson Mar
ket Police Court, and brought along
Detectives McGuckin and Maloney to
serve ii. The officers found Duffy had
climbed to the eleventh floor, and
would not come down. The only way
to reach him was by ladders, for the
man who ran the freight elevator fatty
refused to take them UP.
By the time they had reached the
fourth floor. both officers were breath
ing hard. Once Maloneys foot slipped
and he nearly fell. When they finally
toiled to the eleventh floor. Duffy lid:
We'll, now you're up here, you can
take me down; divil a step will l walk
down thin ladders. I'm willing to
camp on the roof for a week, and III
not give you fellows bite to eat Of
my dinner pail"
After long argument Duffy weaken
ed. and the descent to earth was made.
When they got him into police court
both officers were still blowing like por-
poises. 1T was n free fight had with
Grant" said Duffy. Discharged, 3"
said Magistrate Flammer. The officers
were disguised.
