Query About the Street Committee.
EDITOR CHRONICLE
I would like to call attention to the
disgraceful condition of Columbia Road
between Morris avenue and the town
line. If Patience sitting on monu-
ment' were forced to go over that road
"a distance of only 200 or 800 feet) she
would be compelled to take back seat.
In dry weather it looks like the bed of
brook and in wet weather swamp or
mud hole
What is the matter with our ''Street
Committee anyway, that they allow a
state of affairs to exist like this for so
many years?

OUR Democratic Board of Aldermen
is very happy family, as may be seen
from the report of its last meeting.
We don't hope for much from the av-
erage Democrat, but really we think an
attempt should be made to preserve the
dignity of the city if the aldermen have
none of their own. Some say that Mr..
Lines and some that Mr.. Freeman tell
the truth about each other, while others
say that both speak without due regard
to the truth.
In any case it will be we'll for them to
keep still. What will wicked Rspu Bill
cans say if good Democrats refer to each
other as gentlemen .Gwho are black
guards and liars.

AT LAST.

We are glad that the Board of Health
seems to have walked up, and we hope it
will keep wide awake. If the Inspector
does not have list of nuisances which
need to be abolished at hand, the presi-
dent Of the Health Board can find very
fair beginning for such list by apply
ing to the CHRONICLE Office.
We understand that the Health In
spector pleads lack of power as an ex-
cuse for the non performance Of obvious
duty.
However, the fact is thatathe power of
the Board is great, and SO also is its tim
idity. its fear of giving offense, and its
lethargy.

The supply pipes at the drinking
troughs in the park are quite insufficient
in warm weather when they are most
needed. By actual measurement yester-
day at noon we found less than two
inches OF water in each trough, Will e

it would be spending the city money
wisely to rectify this defect at once, and

Two Kinds of Democrats.

General John G. Black declared in a
public address on Thursday that " the
stars and stripes should remain unfurled
wherever once hoisted; so long as one
man in the Philippines questions the
right of the United States to control
those islands or refuses to recognize the
American flag the army should be kept
there in spite of all the cranks may say"
On Sunday w. j. Byran, speaking as
the prospective presidential candidate
of the democratic party, said imperial
ism and militarism would be opposed in
the democratic platform of 1900. He ex-
pressed the belief that the government
in the beginning should have assured
independence to the Filipinos, and
should end the war now by giving such
assurance.
General Black represents the demo
Gratis who believe in country above party
and who repudicate persons in this
country who assail the government, cal
uminate our soldiers, and insult the
flag" His declarations of loyalty were
cheered by all who heard them-demo-
Gratis and republicans alike. 1t remains
to be seen whether Mr.. Bryan's utter
ances will be received with enthusiasm
when he makes them in mixed gather
ings.
In Nebraska and Kansas many repub-
licans who went TO Mr.. Bryan on the
silver issue are returning to the repub.
lean party on the plain issue of patriot
ism. When Mr.. Bryan goes into his
own state or into Kansas with the dec
that he is in favor of retiring
from the Philippines, and of turning
the government of the islands over to
men hired to fire on the American flag
and the American soldier, he will find
that even extreme silver men are falling
away from him. The populists of Ne
braska are already in q ferment be-
cause they have been practically ignored |
by Mr.. Bryan and other managers of the
democratic party. More contented and |
therefore more loyal than ever before,
Nebraska farmers are not likely TO be
influenced against their country by the
calamity howlers and scuttlers of the
3yran class.
Proud oftheir volunteers in the Philip
pines, the old soldiers and young SOL
iiers and their families and friends in
he west cannot be persuaded that the
esurrection of free silver is more i'm

Measured by Results.

For the fiscal year ending July the
customs revenues have aggregated up
ward of $500, 900, 600. What have the
free-trade maligners of the Dingley
law to say to this? They declared that
as revenue producer the law had
proved to be failure, and would only
breed deficits Yet this same law has
proved to be by $50, 10000 more pro-
ductive of revenue than was the law
which preceded it, even though the lat
ter had in its final months the aid of an
immense flood of anticipatory importa-
tions.
Moreover, the Dingley act yields for
the fiscal year just closed a larger
amount of revenue than the Mckinley
act of 1890 yielded in its best year, and,
as the New York Tribune points out,
little more than was calculated upon
as the amount sufficient, with the in
ternal taxes then in force, to cover or
binary expenditures of the Government.
The credit due to its trainers is all the
greater because they were compelled to
make their estimates in the face of
depression of trade and industries
which, had it continued, would have
rendered satisfactory results impos-
sibie. But they had full faith that
sound protective law would promptly
restore prosperity without any of the
monetary changes so persistently urged,
and the result proves that they were not
in error.
Measured by its results the Dingley
bill will be assigned to place in his
tory as one of the wisest, best conceived |
and most widely beneficial enactments
ever placed upon the statue books of |
any country.

portant than the future of the country
or the honor of the flag. Democrats
like General Black, who have the mem
cries OF two wars in mind, know that
the party that makes an issue of opposi-
ton to the government in war is doom
ed. But Mr.. Bryan and his followers
have learned nothing. They cling to
a dead issue, and they are striving to
bring forward policy of antagonism
to war into which the people entered
as one man. If Mr.. Bryan were more
than mere declaimer in politics his
present course would excite wonder.
As it is, it calls only for contempt not
uhmixed with indignation. Chicago
