AS result of bad government and bad
financiering the credit of the city Of Chi
cago is ruined, at least for the present In
terest on city Improvement bonds is past
due to the amount of hundreds Of thous-
ands Of dollars, the bonds which formerly
now offered at sixty to seventy cents. and
contractors are bidding 90 TO 40 per cent.
higher for street Improvement work than
formerly. In the long run such government
as Chicago has been having for years past
always proves disastrous.

There is nothing surprising in the fact
that large number of Fort Wayne citi-
zens are before the Legislature asking for
the enactment of a law which shall give
to that city a nonpartisan police force. The
outrageous conduct of those charged with
the enforcement of the laws when Senator
Hanna visited Fort Wayne last fall was
calculated to arouse the Indignation and
resentment of every man who is in favor
of extending the protection guaranteed by
the law to every peaceable and orderly in
dividual, and in view of the conspicuous
failure of those in authority to dispense
bowling mob on that occasion it is small
wonder that Fort Wayne people are anxious
to have them displaced by others who will
do better. The Fort Wayne Safety Board
and police authorities might have thought
with profit of the possibility of such thing
when they were calmly permitting the out
rage complained of.

In the way of a royal speech nothing
could be more manly, appropriate and
every way satisfactory than the brief adj
dress of the new King of England on taxi
ing the oath Of accession. The speeches of
the British sovereign at the opening of
Parliament are usually written by the
prime minister and read as coming from
internal evidence of his own dictation and
revision, If not of his composition. Its al
fusion to the deceased Queen and TO my
ever to be lamented great and wise father,
who by universal consent is, 1 think, de-
servedly known by the name of Albert the
Good" was in the best of taste and cal
culated to command the sympathy of the
British people. But the most notable thing
in this brief and suggestive address is the
Kings voluntary conservation of himself
to constitutional government. He said: 'Tn
undertaking the heavt load which now de-
wolves upon me 1 am fully determined to
be a constitutional sovereign in the strict
est sense of the word. and so long as there
and amelioration of my people To this
work." he said, 81 am determined to devote
my whole strength during the remainder
of my life" Perhaps this was intended as
assurance to the British people that what
ever follies he might have been guilty of
as Prince of Wales, they were at an end
and the remainder of his life would be de-
voted to making a record as Edward VII.
Nothing could be more indicative of the
progress of British liberty and character
istic of the spirit of the twentieth century
than the Kings assurance that he was
fully determined to be a constitutional
sovereign in the fullest sense of the word"
Most of his predecessors would have felt
it beneath royal dignity to give such an
assurance His mother was really the first
strictly constitutional sovereign England
ever had. Most of the rest have regarded
royal prerogatives as above constitutional
limitations and the promotion of the well
fare of the people as far less important
than the assertion of the divine right of
kings. The England of to-day is very
different from the England of those times
when petitions of the House of Commons
were either contemptuously spurned by the
King or granted only in small part: when
the House was packed. as il sometimes
was. by order of the King by the return
of members never elected: when all the
acts of an entire Parliament were disre-
garded by the crown; when uneles had
their nephews murdered TO make good their
owr claims TO the throne; when the sover-
eign could put any person TO death either
to crafty a popular cry or TO shield him
self from purely imaginary designs; when
the King assumed 10 be not only the state,
but the church as well, and out of six
wives could have two beheaded and two d.
vorced. Those days are past. Personal
rule in England continued almost until the
accession OF Victoria, but her reign ended
II forever. Edward VII recognizes this
fact. AS an English gentleman he UNDER
stands the English people and knows how
to deal with them. No doubt he told the
truth when he said he was fully determined

The sinking-fund bill for the city of In
dianapolis, which Senator Matson has in
charge, contains one important clause
which removes all the objection to sinking
fund laws on the ground that the money
collected is often diverted to other pur-
poses. This clause provides that the sink
ing fund, as collected. shall be intrusted
to the banking association or trust COM
pany which will pay the most for the use
of it, giving full security. The city should
have a sinking fund to meet its maturing
bonds.
