SEEKING PROTECTION AGAINST
THEMSELyEsI

One CT the most practical effects OF the
fight over the franchises In Chicago, which
recently attracted the attention OF the en-
tire country. has been the preparation OF
o bill to be submitted to the Illinois legjs-.
lature providing that no franchise shall be
granted toa street railway company until
the proposition has been approved by a
popular vote.
There Is no good reason apparent why
street railway franchises alone should be
covered by such bill. Water and light
franchises are equally as valuable and
could be as corruptly or recklessly DIS
posed OF as ube privileges granted to street
railwayr. II 1t Is necessary to invoke pop
ilar assistance to avoid tho improper dis
position OF franchises In one instance, why
not In all cases
This proposition. however. it will be

in the current history OF scores o. Ameri-
can cities for such conclusion.
The basis for these troubles ana scandal
In city government is the Indifference OF
such large numbers OF citizens to munict-
pal affairs. The officers of tho municipal
ity are belittlsd An the public mind, until
often men Of prominence in the community

volunteer soldiers who did not want to dc
garrison duty In Cuba. Porto Rico and the
Philippines. e
''Mr. Bryan furnished the solution OF the
trouble from democratic standpoint. by
proposing a compromise plan under which
the president would find at his disposal
enough volunteer soldiers for duty In these
islanhs so long as such duty was neces-
sary, but with the proviso that when the
necessity ceases to exist, the army shall
return to its normal SIZE. and shall not be
a constant drain upon the pockets of the
tax holders as world be the permanently
increased regular army, which the repub-
licans favor The plan IL very simple one
and certainly meets all the legitimate re-
quirements. BY proposing II, Mr.. Bryan
furnished means by which the democrats
IL congress could oppose the increase OF the
regular army. which they think is wrong
and at the same time avoid the mistake of
putting themselves In opposition to meet
ing the requirements which present them
selves.
THE democratic leaders in congress have
not always done the wise thing" continued
this member. whose name am not at lib
erty 10 use. .'but by following the plan sug-
gested by Mr.. Bryan, they will undoubtedly
find themselves not far apart from the
masses of the people of the country. He
has saved us from making two serious
blunders and has 10 consequence shown
himself real leader"

epty Of purposc.--C leburnc Review.
The Post is not so blinded as the Re-
view charges. There are many good. hon

sion movement by the ghttering general
tiles about our manifest destiny our

On the other hand. II 10 apparent that
there are many. very many, utterly selfish
agencies back OF and largely inspiring this
extreme expansion movement. The big
trusts and syndicates. the trade and money
spectators. the political ana commercial
adventurcrs, are all strongly arrayed on
the side OF the administration in accom-
plshing what Mr.. Mckinley himself had
most fittihgly characterized as criminal
aggression
Conscious OF their power TO influence the
