PAYING HI PIPER.

Greater New York became an accom-
plished fact as a result of a public
sentiment based upon immature con-
sideration of probable costs and effects.
AS a result, the people are now paying
the price. Ninety separate municipal
tiles were Incorporated into the great
city. The end is a doubling of the debt
as against an addition of only one
fourth to the tangible assets, and a net
increase of fifteen million in the cost
of the government annually. In 1899
the gross expenses of the city were
twenty million in excess of those of
London, eighteen millions larger than
those of Paris, and only one million
less than the combined annual expenses
of Philadelphia, Chicago and Boston.
Viewed from another standpoint the
cost of local government for New York,
in 1899, based on a population of three
millions and a half, was $19.56 per
capita of population, and still another
comparison is that the cost is one
seventh of that of the general govern
ment. New York is a big city, and it
takes money to run 1t.

WHAT'S THE

No one believes that Sunday liquor SELL
ing could not be controlled, if it was de-
sired by those In authority to do so. 1t is
folly to jump on barber shops for violat-
Ing a Sunday ordinance, when a hundred
things worse go on. The peculiar condition
of affairs here is illustrated, when the
proprietor of a barber shop who is arrest
ed, escapes punishment for Sunday work,
as was the case. by threatening TO move
all along the line. This showed what a
hold the law breakers lave on the alleged
law maintaining Notwithstanding State
Journal
True, every word CT it; but what's
to be done? Up here the Republican
authorities who constitute the alleged
law maintaining power not only fail
but utterly refuse to interfere with
anything or anybody. They simply
smile at the idea that they have a duty
to perform under the law and their
oaths of office. They draw their saia-
ries and look pleasant and the boys
with the situation we'll in hand do the
rest. In Wheeling the average munic-
ipal ordinance isn't worth a row of
pins.

THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY.

The indications are that there will be a
large vote out at the primary election on
Saturday, but whether it will be as large
as that at the primary of 1896 is question:
Observation-Disclosures.
Why won't the vote be as large?
There are just as many voters in town
as four years ago, and the fight for
place is about as hot. AS far as can
be ascertained every candidate is ar
ranging to get every Republican voter
to the polls. And yet the total will
not be as large" Well, it won't be,
for two reasons. One is, there are not
as many people inclined to vote the
Republican ticket this year as in 1896,
and another is that the Republican pri-
maries in that year were not square.
The Republicans cast 5000 votes at
the primary election four years ago.
For the party organ to doubt whether
that high water mark will be reached
this year Is a confession of weakness.
If the Republicans don't cast 1000
votes tomorrow they will have failed
to hold their own.

to reach results unless our mercantile

interest in the matter. The suggestion
has been made that, if necessary. some
additional compensation, as we'll as col

is one worthy of immediate considera-

MARK HANNA,s INDIFFERENCE.

MAhh HANNA
In his address before the Ohio Re-
publican Convention, Mark Hanna
said:
Il do not care whether you call it imper-
ialism or expansion. The destiny OF TINS
country is written
And he might have added that,
thanks to President Mckinley and
those who shape his policy, much OF
this so-called destiny has been writ
ten in blood. Four thousand young
American citizens are dead or wound
ed in the Philippines, in the effort to
carry out the unrepublican programme
which, Mr.. Hanna says, may be called
imperialism" or Expansion" for all
he cares. Unknown thousands OF men,
women and chiIdren-natives of those
islands-have died or suffered as a re-
suit of the enforcement upon them
of the ideas of Mark Hanna and
William Mckinley. The people OF
Porto Rico are ON the verge of starva-
ton as a result of broken promises.
At least one hundred aid fifty millions
of the money of the people has been
expended in a not warranted
by the Constitution or approved by
the people, and the war taxes are still
maintained, although clearly shown to
be unnecessary.
Mark Hanna may rejoice over this
state of affairs, and proclaim his in
difference as to what it is called. He
may shout to an assemblage of sub
servient henchmen that "the destiny
Of this country is written" and COM
pei their applause. But the common
people of the country, who love lib
erty and fairness and justice, and who
still believe in the Constitution and
who revere the teachings of those great
men who builded the great republic
upon a safe and sure foundation, will
never say amer to such a sentiment.
To do so would be to end the republic
and proclaim the empire. 1t would be
the beginning of the end.

ORIGIN OF THE TERM "MOB'

Chaucer.

Used IN It's First Meaning In Time OF
Chaucer.
AS indicating the populace, proven
bially tickle ard easy to be moved mo-
bile, from Latin mobillis). the express
sion "the mobile people" is as old as
the time Of Chaucer, but in its later
sense, that of the disorderly crowd,
and in its contracted form, mob" 1t is
not older than the postrestoration pc
riod. In Roger North's Examen, 174O,
reference is made to the Green Ribbon
club, 1892, and the writer adds:
81 may note that the rabble first
changed their title and were called the
mob in the assemblies Of this club
first mobile vulgus, then contracted in
one syllable" 1t was used hesitating-
ly at first by Dryden C'Don Sebastian" :"
1900, Durfy commonwealth Of Wo-
men," 16SS) and Shadwell esquire Of
Alsatia," 16SS), and Richardson points
out that Dryden uses both mobile"
and mob" in the sense Of rabble, the
former In the stage directions as the
common word, the latter as if it had
not long been introduced.
In I'LL The Spectator instances
"mob" as an example Of the popular
tendency to curtail many Of our words
in familiar writings and conversation.
The verb "to mob" derived Of course
as above, does not occur until the Pc
Rod Of Horace Walpole, many years
later, and Shakespeare's expression,
"the mobled queen" c"Hamlet'), refers
not to the mob" (mobile), but to the
headdress in disorder.-Boston Tran
