THE SIKH DiS1RiCr ELECTION.

The sixth District election settles the
hash VI our Yellow Kid Mayor. so far
as his future political prospects are con-
cerned.
The battle was waged In district
composed Of Democratic wards and
easily carried by the Democrats last
spring. both for the North Town ticket
and for the Yellow Kid himself.
The district was carved ont Ivy the
Democratic Legislature in 1893 rs Il re-
liably Democratic one.
The drift this year has all been to-
wards the Democratic party. as was
shown in the fall elections.
This was very much in favor Of Mr..
Perkins and of the Democrats In the
sixth.
The Mayor spent every effort to carry
the district.
| lie marched his County Democracy
through It. and he sent his policemen
out electioneering for his candidate.
| The funds contributed by city hall
employees were lavishly thrown around
that votes might be made for the Dem
ocracy.
| Yet. In the face of all these things
the district elected Mr.. Boutcll over
whelmingly.
| The result Is to he attributed solel!
to the intelligence of the voters of thu
North side. Democrats rs well rs Re
publicans.
They recognize the fact that the pres
ent Harrison Is the worst Mayor Chi
cago ever had.
They recognize the fact that. unlik'
his great father. he is not mayor o
the entire city,"
lie II Mayor Of the "Chaws" alone.
And everybody knows who thes
"Chaws' are.
They are people who will take every
thing In sight and give nothing to any
one.
They hate everyone.
They envy the successful.
They despise the clean and the ur
right.
They have made the name of Dem
ocracy a stencil.

II. 7. WEEKS ON MEMORIAL HAIL..

Harvey 7. Weeks has issued a letter
to the public concerning Memorial Hall
In the new Public Library Building, In
which he rlghtfully says that he does
not believe 1t so important that "these
veterans, who will soon answer no
earthly rOll-call, should enjoy this hon
orable distinction, rs that the generous
city Of Chicago, by her agents, should
not mar and make mean the convent
ences established at SO great expense"
Mr.. Weeks says that hall construct
cd without windows would not meet
the requirements of the law, aud nell
ther does n hall without means OF
lighting by night. The erection of a
hall was suggested by a sentiment, and
the people who cOngregate there will
he drawn by the same sentiment. He
cannot see how, In the midst of this
sentiment, there Ii any room for a
mean and narrow Interpretation of the
statute, defeating Its chief purpose.
Azel +. Hatch is the only Chicago
man who is against the old soldiers,
anyhow.

COW TANNER,S LEVEL HEAD

In speaking Of q new revenue bill mt
the coming special session Governor
Tanner is quoted as follows:
do not favor the passage Of new
revenue bill. Oh! some few amend.
ments to the existing statutes might he
made, but revision Of the revenue law
will not he made by the special SEES
sion. Why? Well, I don't believe
there II a mind in the whole Legisla.
ture big enough to grapple with the
question. A bill entirely revising the
revenue law would have to he the
work Of some master who had made a
long and searching study Of the ques.
ton. 1t would have to be one mans
work, and that man Is not member
Of the present Legislature. More than
this, the bills now proposed are all
hobbies. They have been drafted by
people who either have axes to grind
or crank ideas to promulgate. These
bills will not Ike of any use to the whole
people, and they are simply drafted for
the purpose Of protecting few to the
detriment Of many. The same thing II
noticeable in all the primary.law bills
which have been submitted to me.
"Ane State Of Illinois has OutgrOwn
It's constitution. We have got to have
n constitutional convention before cong
before two years, In my Judgment
and after we have secured cOnstitu.
ton commensurate with the require.
mcnts Of the State then we can pass
revenue law which will he up.to.date
and which will be Of some use to the
people and some good to the State. I'm.
til we have now constitution I am
opposed to tampering with the revenue
law. Oh! might not object to some
few amendments which would correct
the most glaring evils, lat do not
want the bill changed 80 much that II
would result In tying the taxes up In
the courts. The passage Of revenue
bill II n serious matter. After almost
every bill that Is passed taxes IRE tied
up from five to seven years. 1t chOkes
up the courts and makes trouble all
along the line. Some few amendments
might go, but a new revenue bill II a
matter that must he prevented ut this
time"

PROTECTION FOR THE MOTORMEN

In passing the ordinance requiring
street car companies to inclOse the
front ends of cars, the City Council has
done another good piece of work. 1t Is
inhuman to require mOtOrmen to stand
exposed to the elements In all kinds OF
weather. Such a measure should have
been passed long ago.
That the Council has acted at last Is
evidence that that body 10 becoming

age canal proper, has aroused much
feeling on the part Of the public. Mayor
Harrison Is criticised for delaying nc.
tlOn In the matter, in view Of the fact
that the drainage board has Mt It's dis.
pOsal only sufficient finances for the
completion Of the great main channel
and that the undertaking by this body
Of the construction Of new system
OF sewage channels in the streets Of
Chicago might seriously hamper-even
preventive completion Of the great
canal
The associates Of President Kelly of
the drainage board have asserted their
willingness to assume the obligation Of
righting ChicagO's sewerage system 40
that the securing of pure water from
the lake by turning all the death.tleal-
Ing refuse OF the city into the canal
may be accomplished. They ask that
the city administration cooperate with
them and furnish funds for the work
or secure special legislation which will
result in the turning of revenue suf-
flcient for the work into the treasury Of
the sanitary district. Those citizens to
whom the question has been submitted
demand that Mayor Harrison and the
city administration directly assume the
construction Of new sewers. in view of
the fact that the city has control Of the
present system of sewers which dis.
pose of refuse and have full authority
over the streets. Above all they urge
that no delay be occasioned by stub.
