IT was hardly to be expected that
Chicago would let her fair name be
clouded by the stigma that attaches to
the home of the men who showed them
selves to be devoid of the proper spirit
of patriotism when at public meeting
a week ago they denounced the admin
istration in terms that ought not to be
countenanced anywhere. AS in the
case of Edward Atkinson, there Is
limit set by public opinion beyond
which free speech should not go. That
limit is reached when it is sought to
induce our brave soldiers in the Phil
ippines to revolt, mutiny, rebel,
against the authority of the very gov
eminent for which they are
fighting. Chicago has repudiated that
disgraceful affair most forcibly by her
rousing mass meeting yesterday, when
ministers and college professors in con-
junction with business men, profession
al men, and statesmen of all shades of
opinion approved the administration
policy, as the best under the cir
cumstances which forced themselves
upon US, and the only one consistent
with our national honor. while they
gave that recognition due to the brave
ry and devoted service of our magni-
ficent volunteers in the Philip
Mines

The Siberian railroad is said to have
opened up vast wheat fields in Russia
and thousands of families have follt W.
ed the line and built them bones. In
the Altai mining district last year
over $780, 900 tons of surplus wAeat was
produced and only per cent of the
available agricultural lands have vet
been brought into cultivation. In the
fertile steppe country opened up by
the western section of the railroad
a. 600 tons of wheat was raised for ex-
port where until recently it was neoes-
sary to import wheat every year for
local consumption.-Dalla News.
Boston has gone step farther than
the taxing of corporation franchises,
and is the owner of a rapid transit sys-
tenn. OF course, like all progressive
cities, it owns its own water works,
having commenced the purchase of the
old private plants fifty-one years ag,.
The new rapid transit system is an uu-
derground road for electric cars. 1t
was built by commission authorized
by the state and supervised by the city.
The estimated cost was $1,000, 0OO
Private capital was anxious to under
take the enterprise, but the city re-
solved to build it, thus, be it noted,
going directly into competition with
the ''vested interests" of the surface
roads. The work was completed for
S5 900, 600. Had a private corporation
built it the road would have been ca
pitalized for S15, 100000 or 100000, 900
and the people would have been called
upon to pay interest on that amount.
