Mayor Harrison Of Chicago has prac-
tioaliy beaton tho railway syndicate Of
that city. which sought to secure from
the board Of Aldermen IN extension
of street railway franchises for fifty
years. The atfnir created u tremendous
oxoitoment In thu city. as it was un-
derstood TINT much money had been
used in corrupting aldermen, and that
the extension ordinance would surely
pass. Public sentiment, however,
which took the decisive tone Of threat
ening to hang the doodle aldermen IL
other measures failed, caused reac-
tian, and Mayer Harrison was success
ful in practically killing tho measure,
last night, by o vote Of 50 to n, 1t Is
snid that at FIRST ths syndicate had as
slrances ~ the favorable votes of S5 Of
the US peBibors composing tho Board
Of Aldermen, but public opinion, em-
phatically expressed and vigorously led
by Mayor Harrison, brought about the

IL cannot be maintained that its alb

arguments, but II is doubtful " itny

of the will u the majority, as asoer-
tanned by an honest vote
IL is question that subiectins

Under orr political system " might

with the selection Of thoir servants,
and the fact that II they elect a bad

careful in the choice. And then,
there ID tho remedy of ilnpcachn,snt

loting in the City Councils OF other
legislative bodies, ii IS not worth while
to waste any time in consideration.
Upon tho results of such hallofing,

bo1jcs must stand or fall.
However, this is the platform upon
which Socialism won distinctive
political victory, after fair election,
in representative American inunloi-

to carefully consider this declaration
Of principles, and the conditions that

which will not always promote the

Of terrible atrocities committed by the

suffering, while hanging hungry and
naked in the burning sun. Chinese apd

81 the Mnel..rem q ] ereas OILY,

Referring to the intention Of Cover
nor Black Of New York, after the New
Year to enter upon the practice of law
IN New York City, a correspondent
says that the great American metrop-
oils is filled with men and women from
other cities. They are drawn here by
the attractions Of the great rewards OF
n metropolitan success and by the bril-
liancy OF the city's social life. Troy is
u very good town. Having over 90, 200
inhabitants, it possesses every necessary
comfort in modern life. But Troy has
become too small for Frank 3. Black
since he has been governor of New
York and acquired a national reputa-
tion. He seeks to turn his reputation
into dollars, and thinks that the
metropolis Is the best place TO do this.
Buffalo is one OF the most attractive
cities in the United States. II is noted
for its well paved streets and Its beau-
tifuI homes Grover Cleveland was
content to make Buffalo his home until
the became President of the United
States, But when his first term ended
he did not return to Buffalo, but
established his home and his law office
in the city of New York. John G. Car
Isle. of Kentucky, as soon as his term
US Secretary 81 the Treasury ended
came to New York to practice law.
The bar Of Now York, the pulpits OF
New Yoril, the newspapers Of New
York and the grent corporations OF
New York are filled with men who,
having achieved regulations elsewhere,
have come here TO enjoy the fruits OF
their success. A metropolitan city is
q magnet that draws 10 itself the most
successful OF the whole country, New
York is certainly most attractive
place to live in for man or woman oi
assured position, great wealth or splen-
did reputation.
Unfortunately, however, the CORE
spondent adds, tho same magnet that
draws this class to tho metropolis
draws also host Of people without
,noney, position or reputation, but
who, attgacted by the allurements OF
New York life, crowd into the city in
hopes OF achieving all three. There IL
u multitude Of young musicians here
| seelsing New York engagements, and oi
artists seeking 70 establish TN academy
reputation, Young actors make every
| kind OF sacrifice to got to New York IN
order to secure y metropolitan hearing.
Every city editor here receives daily
applications from, Young newspape,
men from other cities who desire to go:
| IL chance for journalistic work in the
| metropolis Farmers boys, tired oi
the n,onotony of the country, crowd
| into New York, hoping to become mer-
chant princes, unaware that conditions
| have changed since the days when q
man could walk into this city with hi:
| earthly possessions carried III a pacll
ON his back and in a very few years
deyelop intoa great merchant. Nearl,
| ali Of thnso people could do better tt
remain in the cities and towns where
they are known. Nowhere is 1t harder
| to get start in life than in New York.
Nowhere does mediocrity fare WORSE
| than here. The world hears of ths
brilliant fortunes made in Now York,
| 1t does not hear OF the disappointed
ambitions and the ruined careers.

At the start, 1T may be said no mem
