IT appears that the powers in
China have not yet abandoned the
demand that certain of the most
important of the sea coast forts
shall be razed. Now that they
have got China down they propose
to make her as helpless as possible,
in anticipation of future expedi-
tions against her. A part of the
troops of the allies remaining in
China, it is understood, will be
employed in destroying the forts
and confscating the military stores
in them. The company of Amer
lean troops now in Pekin will not
take part in the destruction, this
government withholding its sane
tion from the plan.

The board makes its graceful bow to
the voters of our county for the compli-

would have been decidedly compliment
airy had it not been for erroneous impress
sions that gained ground at one of the
principal precincts. To that precinct,
and all Others in the county, we ask the
privilege of assuring them in this public
way that We have no wild, erratic, vision
ary schemes TO foist upon them which
tend toward any useless expenditure, but
We stand pledged TO our people to advo-
cate and carry out only those measures
which look to reform, order, system and
ultimate true economy.
The school laws require that any per-
son teaching in the public schools shall
be qualified by state examination. In
accordance with this requirement any
parent or guardian who hereafter desires
to teach in aid districts must conform to
the law.
There being serious objections to the
old building site at Fort Pierce, it was
ordered that new lot in desirable loca-
tion be purchased from the Florida Can

people of Fort Pierce to restore their
school, it being provided that sum OF
500 be raised and guaranteed by the
people there to supplement the fund.

THE PROPOSED LABOR MOVEMENT

There arc many REASONS why union
labor. for It's own defense, would b,
justified In placing an independent
ticket In the field next spring and fall
Union labor has not received fa,l
treatment ut the hands of either of tn,
old parties for several years past.
on the contrary II has been "conned'
and humbugged. and there Is no ret
son now why 1t should not avail of OK
listing opportunities to demonstrate II,
strength.
II is the opinion of many unprejn'
diced and Independents; minded citizens
that the labor element In Chicago has a.
present not only an opportunity of dem
Onstratng Its strength. hut also of nc.

approaching elections,
1t Is very generally believed that IL
the labor element could. one year from
next spring. induce Il man like John NJ.
Harlan TO accept the nomination for
the Mayoralty, the sons Of toll could
defeat both the Democrats and the Re.
publicans in square, staEd-up fight.
The Eagle Is not speaking rs the or
gan Of any party. II Is simply stating
facts ana drawing fair deductions from
them.
Recent Mayoralty elections in San
Francisco and Bridgeport, Conn, show
that there Is horror among the PEG.
pie against the prevailing corruption of
both old parties.
Honest workngmen in those two cit
les elected plain Woodworking laborinc
men To the office of chief magistrate
because they We're men of unlmpeach
able records, and the voters were sick
ana tired of organized corruption IN
the ranks of the two old parties.
There j. no reason, in the opinion
OF thoughtful people and of practical
politicians among them. why the same
thing could not be done In Chicago
where organized labor Is so much
stronger than in any other city in the
Union.

DEMOCRATS AND COUNTRY Town
REPRESENTATION.

1t has been announced that one of the
Tildenite renegades who happens to
hold u strong position i'm the Cook Coun-
~ Central Committee. is talking about
insisting that the country towns shall
have u representation of thirty-six upon
that committee when II meets next
month for its annual election of officers.
This gentleman might as well drop
that preposterous IDEA right now. he
cause it is not only opposed to tho ex.
press provisions Of the written cOnsti-
tuition Of the Democratic party of Cook
County. but II is also opposed to every
idea of justice. fair play and common
sense.
1t Is simply absurd. and the sooner
those who are banking upon it to ac.
| complish anything on the occasion In
| question. realize that fast the sooner
will they become relieved of useless
work and idle calculations.
Section 3 of the constitution Of the
Democratic party Of Cook County pro.
vides as follows:
"The membership of said committee
the County CentraD from the country
towns shall he limited to six members
| of the Central Committee Of the Dem.
ocratic party of Cook County. said six
members to be selected by the general
| committee from the country towns.
The said general committee
shall meet ut the County Central Com.
mittee headquarters on the 18th day of
November for tho purpose of selecting
said six members Of the Central Com.
mittee Of the Democratic party Of Cook
| County"
Now there can he 10 miscOnceptiOr
as to what the law that binds the part,
organization IL as TO this question OF
the representation of the countr,
towns on the Central Committee.
| And II Is but common sense and sim
pie Justice.
The idea Of allowing the country
towns of Cook County. which have d
combined population of only about 80,
900. as much representation on tn,
committee as Chicago. which has tive
millions. Is simply prcpostcrous.
II will not he considered for one In

Meanwhile every member Of the reg,i
lar Democratic organization should GU
out the provision of the constitution
which we have quoted. and paste II II

MAT FIRE DEPARTMENT FiZZLE

II Is u matter for public congratula-
ton that the grand jury found no peg
upon which to hang indictments against
the thirty odd fire captains when
dragged before 10 to answer questions
In relation to another alleged civil ser.
Vice scandal.
This department Is the pride of every
good citizen of Chicago.
In It's membership, its discipline and
It's organization 1t Is without peer In
the world.
Ii Is due to its magnificent efficiency
that fire insurance rates in Chicago are
not soaring at impossible heights, be-
cause, while the great insurance com
panies Of the East have not yet forgot
ten the great fire of 1871, they also re-
member that Chicago has had for years
and has to-day the best tire.iighting
force In the world
Ii was therefore that the business
people of Chicago heard with feelings
akin to CONSERVATION last week that the
civil service system had begun its no.
t0rlous work of decentralization in the
fire department, and bcheld the spec
tacle of half the engine houses in the
city left without commanding officers
for n whole day, while the said com
mandlng officers were being hailed be,
fOro the grand jury over in the Grim
inal court.
1t all proved a fizzle, however, and
the first attempt to pin a scandal ON
the fire department resulted in moth
ing but petty annoyance to some of
its officers.
II should be borne in mind now that
the public will not tolerate any haras-
sing of the Chicago fire department.
The business men Of this city will
