POVERTY ABOLISHED.

The Scientific American, one of the
best known publications in this coun-
try for its reliability in the presenta-
ton of current topics and conditions,
published the following interesting facts
concerning the city of GLASGOW, Scot
land, which is the foremost CITY in the
world in the approach to a pure democ-
racy.
"The city of GLASGOW, Scotland, is
in the fortunate position of being able
to pay all the expenses of the city gov
eminent out of the revenue derived from
its public improvements state of
things which has earned for this city
the title to be called the most advanced
and best governed city in the world.
"The details regarding the system en-
ployed by the municipal authorities are
given in letter from Mr.. A. J. John
son, in the Morning Call, San Francis
co, from which it appears that the prog
ress of the improvement of the city
dates from the year 1854, when Num-
Der of philanthropic citizens formed an
association for improving the condition
of the slum population. This was prac-
tically the beginning of reform move
ment, which ultimately resulted in an
act of parliament empowering the city
corporation to carry out the work which
and private effort had
failed to accomplish. 1t is claimed that
at this time the condition of the poor
in this city was worse than in any other

ROOSEVELT TALKS.

Vice president Roosevelt IN
his speech at the state fair:
More and more it is evident
that the state, and if necessary
the nation, has got to possess
the right of supervision and con-
troll as regards the great bust
ness combinations which derive
a portion of their Importance
from the existence some mo-
nopolistic tendency.
Further on in his speech he
said:
No hard or fast rule can be
laid down as to where our legis-
lation shall stop in interfering
between interest and interest.
All that can be sgid is that it is
highly undesirable on the one
hand to weaken indidual initia-
tive, and, on the other hand,
that in a constantly increasing
number of cases we shall find it
necessary in the future TO
SHACKLE CUNNING AS IN
THE passive HAVE SHACK
LED FORCE.
This was the language of pres
Roosevelt at the Minnesota state
fair before he became president.
It remains to be seen how his
official action will tally with his
words. Already he has accepted
as his cabinet, the former cabi.
net of President Mckinley. In
that cabinet, Secretary and At
torney General Knox are known
to be the representatives of
what President Roosevelt here
refers to as cunning. How
can Roosevelt expect to shackle
cunning when he chooses for
his advisers and chief cabinet Of
fcers the agents of cunning?
Does he expect Attorney Gener-
al Knox on a paltry salary of a
cabinet officer to prosecute trusts
from whom he has received a sal
ary of $4,000 and to whom he
owes his appointment?
We are inclined to believe that
President Roosevelt realized
that he was talking to a commu-
nifty of agricultu rail- SITS and
framed his sentences to ft his
audience. We do not believe
any shackles will be placed upon
cunning during Mr.. Roosevelt's
term of Office. Russell Sage in q
recent interview has said that
Roosevelt is entirely satisfactory
to Wall Street.
Sage knows whereof he speaks.

BRE'R HARRIS.

How Bro. Harris, of Ashtabula
county, is to repair his breaches of
the Garfield law and get out of pay
ing the fine and break into the Senate,
are conundrums. The Democrats will
look after the last mentioned one. AS
to the others, we respectfully turn him
over to the Rev. Purley A. Baker,
who engineered his nomination and
was his Senatorial Godfather. And If
the Reverend isn't adequate to the
task, he might call in the chaplain
OF the Bartenders' union to help him.
Under such leadership it is no wonder
that Bro. Harrls's campaign petered
out.
The reason why 1t took the children
of Israel forty years to get through
IA little strip of wilderness, only about
a couple of hundred miles wide, was
that they had too many chaplains and
too few politicians.

MISTAH DICK.

Our esteemed contemporary, In one
of its lucid intervals, while 1t Is not
working overtime on the doings OF the
.nine inch club" calls on us TO say
something by way of commencing
Mr.. Dick for his action In bringing
to the attention OF Congress, by reso-
luton, the outrages upon the right OF
suffrage In the Southern States.
Our neighbor Is unnecessarily nasty
in assuming that we do not intend
to do what we ought In this regard.
1t should remember that the resolution
was introduced only two or three days
ago. and latterly we have been very
busy In trying to catch up with our
duty In respect to several delinquen-
cies to which 1t has been calling our
attention. Besides, since our contem-
porary has taken to itself the especial
function of trumpeting the Congress
mans fame, we have been a little
modest, and have waited, very respect
fully, for it to have Its say in the
matter before venturing one of our
own.
However, right is right, and since
we are thus reminded of our obliga-
tions, our opinion on this particular
matter our neighbor shall have, for
what 1t Is worth, which is probably
Mt least the cost Of 1t.
The resolution In question is the
first step towards legislation which
the Constitution in express terms en-
joins upon Congress. 1t is therefore
the duty of Congress to furnish 1t;
and, as Mr.. Dick Is member of Con-
gress 1t was his duty to introduce it,
and 1t will be equally his duty to
prosecute 1t to effect, one way or the
other. As a public officer, occupying
a position Of his own seeking, and
sworn to obey the Constitution. he has
done but his duty, for which he is
entitled, ordinarily, to no praise or
credit other than his own conscious
ness of duty done, and Of rectltude of
official intention and conduct. Doubt
less he wants no other; and 1t would
be quite unjust to him to hold him
accountable for all the fulsome toot-
ing indulged in by our esteemed con-
temporary.
But there is an aspect of the case
which a simple recognition of the
discharge of legislative duty fails
adequately to meet.
In launching his resolution In Con-
gress, Mr.. Dick has done thing far
in advance Of his party's policy, and
In which he knows his party will not

himself the malignant enmity of those

courage, in this day of legislative in-

SO long as Mr.. Dick resolutely stands

supported by ours, or not, his conduct
shall have our hearty approval, for
what little it may be worth,
And SO long as he thus does his
