Philadelphia is q rock-ribbed Repub-
ican city. Those Of US who know that
the only essential to the most perfect
virtue In municipal administration is that
it shall be conducted by Republican poll
ticians may not see this transaction in
the light in which it presents itself to
the excited populace of the Quaker City,
no more than does Mr.. Quay or Mr.
Ashbridge; but the transaction is none
the less certain to operate to the disad-
vantage of these great men ultimately.
The opponents of the principle of mu-
nicipal ownership of local public facilt-
ties may feel fully assured that the
action of the Republican mayor and city
council, Of Philadelphia will at least op-
crate to advance that principle many
years nearer to general adoption. When
wholesale corruption Of this order is re-
sorted to in acquiring private ownership
of such facilities at this late day in the
development of public sentiment on the
subject of responsible municipal admins
tration, the general public are not to be
blamed IL they decide finally that they
cannot be much worse off If they assume
the ownership and conduct Of such
facilities themselves.

Omaha Road and Improvement AS
ISOLATION Decide on q Solution
of NIuch-Discussed
Problem,

At we'll attended meeting Of the West
| Side Improvement association, held last
night at 191 South Wabasha street, the
proposed Omaha spur, in which the as
ISOLATION is so much interested, was again
discussed. Ex-Mayor Doran, chairman of
the committee, appointed to confer with
w A Scott, president of the Omaha
| road, reported that the company was
ready to spend $136, 600 on the levea i'm
provements, if the right of way can be
secured. Mr.. Scott guarantees that all
trains passing the public baths shall be
tagged in the bathing season. Further
he assures that no more than four trains
a day will be run for the first year. In
answer to the objection that has been
made regarding the granting Of ITO feet
of land for the double tracks on the levee
approaching the bridge, Mr.. Scott ex-
planned that the slope from the fill on
the side of the tracks would condemn
about forty feet of land on each side,
while only thirty feet of ground would be
actually used for trackway.. Every effort
Will be made by the association to aid
the Omaha in securing the desired right
of way and if possible to extend the spur
the entire length Of the West Side IeVee
Better street car service for the West
side OF the river will also be striven for
by the association. The tracks on South
Robert and Concord streets are in
frightfully bad state OF repair, the cars
operated over them are the oldest In the
city, and the schedules are exceedingly
rank In the hope Of securing some re-
lief, committee was appointed to con-
fer with the city railway company.
The city engineer will be asked to take
steps toward the Improvement of Con-

the railroad systems of this section
should be brought under control by large

heretofore in the great section Of coun-

been in nowise concerned in it's develop

Behind all this desire to control our
railroad facilities 1t can safely be as
sumed that there exists the knowledge
that this section is growing in population
TO an extent not realized by any other
section of the country, and that its fu-

our tariff laws to the rapidly changing

them away. This IS advice which We
do not expect our Republican friends to
take, but the time will come when they
will wish they had done so.

INSANE MAN RETURNED,

Louis Martz Sent Back to ohio From
st. Paul.
Agent Gates, Of the state board Of cor
rection and charities, returned yester-
day from Hardin, Ohio, where he went
for the purpose of placing Louis Martz,
an insane patient, in the care of his
brother. Martz was recently taken into
custody in Todd county, this state, and
after an examination in the probate
court there was adjudged insane. When
taken in charge he had no money and
was travelling as a tramp. 1t was found
that he had been in an insane hospital
in Ohio, and had been released from that
institution only two weeks before.
AS an argument in favor Of the exist
ing law for deporting insane patients
from other states to the places where
they belong Agent Gates stated that it
would have cost Todd county $50 to have
had the man examined and sent to one
of the hospitals OF this state, after
which the state would have had to sup
port him for an indefinite period; where
as the cost of returning him to Ohio was
but $50.

4 SIGN OF THE TIMES

Whatever significance anyone may
choose to attach to tie great railroad
combinations which are outlined from
day to day as having been contaminated
or being the point Of ccnsumrnation.
it is a notable fact that the great
trunk systems of the Northwest figure
in all these combinations, real or sup
posititious as they may be-
It is not 50 long since the Northwest was
so 'miraportant a factor in the railroad
problem shat the general public might
be said to be wholly ignorant of the
extent or even direction Of most of the
lines running into or through the North
west beyoad Chicago. The name Of the
St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba line
carries no significance to the uniformed
save that there was some sort OF rail-
road connection established between the
Dominion of Canada and the far Amer
dean Northwest. The Northern Pacific
was looked upon as a huge streak of
rusted iron extending from the lakes to
the Pacific ocean, the cost of which was
borne by the government and on which
the public domain was squandered in
the most improvident manner.
Nowadays even Wall street turns its
energies without restraint on the under
takings which come up fer considcra-
ton from time to time of Incorporating
the railroad systems Of the Northwest
with those further East or those of the
Southwest as necessary to even par

BISMARCK.

Sunday, at Berlin, was unveiled the
In the presence of royalty and con-
course Of 10000 people, during the sing
ing of-the rational anthem, the veil was
removed and the heroic statue Of the
man of 'blcod and iron," the man who
created the German empire, met the eyes
of the spectators. Emperor William was
the first to place wreath at the foot of
the statue. And wen might this young
emperor pay tribute to Bismarck, for 1t
was he who for thirty years carried
Atlas-like the continent of Europe. For
thirty years Bismarck occupied the CEN
ter of the stage, playing the leading role
in the diplomacy Of the world In many
respects he was the greatest man Of his
age greater than Gladstone. greater than
Blaine. He was the empire. And when
the youthful enthusiasm of the emperor
demanded his retirement, great was the
fear felt for the fatherland.
OF his appearance in public life a con-
temporary says: ''In the old reichstag
building have often listened to his ha-
rangues, for Bismarck was not an orator
like ConkIing or Blaine. But though he
made no pretensions to being a speaker,
he was such In reality. as is shown by
the fact that on important occasions he
held the floor for several hours at time.
marck making one Of his great speeches
than to listen to him His words were
far stronger and made a greater impress
sion in cold type than when they fell
from his lips. His delivery was slow.
He always used the exact word and his
facts were marshaled in clear order.
When he rose to speak, a deep silence
would fall upon the reichstag. He had
little or no rhetorical action and some
of his sentences were as long as those
of Evarts. When aroused his exhibitions
of passion were frequently terrible. His
great frame quiVered with emotion and
his gray+blue eyes flashed fire as he
would turn toward the benches Of his
adversaries.''
OF his personal appearance the same
writer says: HE is six feet two inches
in height and of splendid proportions;
his head Is very large, well-shaped, and
rests upon great neck which rises
firmly above his giant frame. His fore
head is large and bold, the lower half
scanned and furrowed. His eyes are full
and steel-blue; his eyebrows are great
punches Of hair; the nose is large and
aristocratic; his mouth firm and covered
with a thick, grizzled mustache. The
expression of the face is solid, earnest,
ineXorable, hnplacable. No charity, no
leniency, nothing but iron WILL
Such was Bismarck in life and such is
his memorial statue which stands facing
the column of victory before the reichstag
building where he won his great tri-
umphs and created an empire.
Bismarck was different from Washing
ton and Lincoln as the typical German is
different from Che American. Each
achieved great results, but with different
tools and by different methods.
