gave a contract TO the highest bidder and
could give no reason for so doing. The
mayor. controller and Board of Public
Works have been purchasing land for
park. 1t is asserted and not yet denied that
for the less valuable of the Miller tracts
they paid $500 an acre, while the whole tract
was offered to the Board of Agriculture for
$500 an acre. Lands in Marion county are
alleged to be appraised for taxation at the
amount for which they be sold in cash,
yet the Tagagrt regime has paid twice or
three times the value put uporf them by
the assessors. This fact is we'll known, yet
nobody is surprised. 1t SENS the natural
thing that city officials should pay their
friends high prices for lands.
Such being the case, it is no cause for
surprise that there is a rapidly developing
sentiment against the nagement of the
Natural utilities by municipal officers.
For the same reasons, any scheme to in
duce the Legislature to assume the state
fair with deficit attachment should be OPP
posed since the deficit will become the
main part of the business instead of being
an annex if the State should foot the bill.

NO STATE FAIR BY THE STATE.

1t is hoped that the report to the effect
that the Board of Agriculture will make an
effort to turn the state fair over to the
State. and that it will appear before the
Legislature with such scheme is not true
If the board has demonstrated that state
fair cannot be made to meet expenses it
should be discontinued instead of loaded
upon the taxpayers. If the board is con-
WINGED that it cannot make such an exhibit
ton pay its expenses, either let it be aban-
doned or let the grounds be leased to those
who will undertake to keep up the annual
exhibits. The State should never undertake
the management unless there is a large sur
plus in the treasury and the people are anx-
ious to pay taxes. Under state manage
ment the yearly deficit would be larger than
it ever was under the direction of the board
and the exhibits would probably not be so
acceptable. Certainly the State could not
undertake to furnish novelties in the way
of amusements to draw crowds, and plain
exhibit of the products of the farm and the
factory seems not to attract public atten-
ton.
The objection to state management is the
same which holds against the undertaking
of any business or industry by state, munic-
ipal or any other government With the
exception of the recent building of war
ships at the navy yards under direction of
naval officers and of work done in arsenals
ETC., where every employee stands upon his
own merits all work done by government
costs much more than it costs individuals
and corporations managed upon business
principles. For some time the tendency has
been toward municipal management Of
what are called the natural utilities"-
water, gas. and even street railways. OF
late, however, a reaction is evident for the
reason that practical students of the
subject have discovered that management
by municipalities will make the utilities cost
taxpayers and consumers much more than
they cost under the management of private
corporations. This is because private cor
porations generally manage their business
with view of paying dividends, while mu-
nicipal officers. however upright have not
the same incentive. Many more men are
employed to do work on the streets than
would be employed by men who were work
ing for profit. The officers of cities pay
more for merchandise, land and service
than is paid by shrewd business men look
ing solely for their own interests. Only a
few weeks ago the Board Of Public Works

that he makes no allowance for this change,
and, with powers of cbserv alton not at their
best, sees resemblance where none exists.
AS for scars and other marks or blem-
ishes they must be very distinct and pc
culiar, else they are hardly positive proof
of identity. How many persons, without
stopping to investigate, can at the moment
describe with exactness the marks by which
they would positively identify members of
their family-whether a certain remem-
bered scar is over the right or the left eye,
on which side tooth is missing, just which
finger is crooked, or which way the stub
born ''cowlick" turns off the forehead? In
this day of sudden and mysterious disap-

ENDING OF A .HoRRoR. STORY.

No story concerning i'll treatment of sol
diers was more widely circulated or caused
more Incorporate denunciation of the au-
thorities than that describing the condition
of the Eighth New York Regiment when it
passed through Cleveland on the way home
from Chickamauga. Over two hundred and
fifty men were sick and were represented as
practically uncared-for. as suffering terri
bly, for the comforts of life until relieved
by Cleveland women, who brought them
delicacies, bathed their faces with Florida
water and laid flowers upon their pillows.
Some of them We're said by Cleveland
physicians to be so i'll that they would
hardly get home alive, and DR.. Lindheim,
the surgeon in charge of the train, was
urged to leave these men at the Cleveland
hospital as the only chance for their
covery. Just what business these Cleveland
doctors had on that train was not ex-
planned; but perhaps the professional ethics
which forbid interfering with a fellow
physicians patients in private life do not
include government surgeons. At all
events, DR.. Lindheim was heralded far and
wide as a monster of incompetence and
heartlessness, and was the target for end
less abuse. His $50 patients are all well
now, in spite of Cleveland doctors and yell
low newspapers, while DR.. Lindheim is
dead-driven to his grave by the attacks
upon him which he could not answer. Be
fore he died he told friend that reporter
who boarded the train at Cleveland with
the visiting physicians threatened to
roast" him if he did not leave the sick
on the way had telegraphed TO Cleveland
undertaken to meet the train prepared to
take care of six dead soldiers. The under
taker was there, but there were no dead.
The circumstances in this case support
what has come to be considerably more
than a suspicion with those who have
watched the course of events carefully,
or other enemies of the government were
engaged in a conspiracy to misrepresent
the facts concerning the army and it's
treatment; to eXaggerate all the drawbacks
and to manufacture tales of woe when ex-
aggeration failed them The scheme was
overworked, however. So many of the
stories of horror proved to be without
foundation that the public began to grow
skeptical some time since. and is now slow
to accept them without investigation. The
reaction will not tend to benefit the sensa-
tional press, and it would be well if an
outraged public would show its indignation
in way that would prevent repetition of
such offenses.

CHILE AND ARGENTINA.
Both Preparing for War Despite the
Arbitration Agreement.

NEW YORK, Sept. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Valparaiso says: "Argentina's
circular note, instructing her representa-
tives abroad to deny the alarming rumors
in connection with her differences with
Chile, and to state that she is not hostile
to the general plan of arbitration proposed
by Chile, has not caused a cessation of the
preparations of Chile to meet any emer-
gency. The note is regarded as a trick, de-
loan in Europe for war purposes. AS evil
dence of this it is pointed out that Argen-
tina is pushing her war preparations harder
than ever, in spite Of such peaceful dec
larations."
