ings.
1t Is not so long since that even the
casual newspaper reader cannot recall
the details Of the scenes of riot and
blocdshed which prevailed there on the
occasion of a street car strike. The town
was then turned over to the thugs and
blackguards of the community. and local
authority seemed paralyzed for weeks
in succession. Doubtless the people Of
st. Louis are about the same in general
disposition as the people of most other
American communities. There is there
no more and no less disposition toward
lawlessness OH the part of the body OF
the people; and the criminal classes are
by no means any more numerous rela-
lively. The fault is with municipal of
ficials; and their shortcomings are due
no doubt to the demoralized condition of
political life there.
The city we believe Is Republican usual
ly. The state is Democratic There is
the usual spirit of contention and i'll will
between the contending political forces
consequent on the conflict of state and
municipal influence. The effort to force
methods of administration on the people
of the city through state legislation,
which is such a feature of the reform
tendencies of the Plat politicians in New
York city, is in operation there; and the
consequences appear to be worthy even
of the big metropolis. with this quail
hcation, that the police force in New
York have always shown their ability to
meet any demonstrations of violence or
rowdyism which may be attempted.
The demand which is happily spreading
all over the country for the control by
municipalities of their own affairs must
receive recognition in St Louis, no mat
ter what party or what faction of poll
lucians seek to prevent it. If ever the
vast problem of American municipal gov
eminent is to reach even partial solution
the first requirement to be realized is
that home rule must prevail The pres
ence of the negro element in the St
Louis riots looks at this distance as if
the representatives of that race were in
this instance also set to do the dirty work
of the Republican politicians and also
to take the worst consequences of their
own folly Or crime.
The municipality which, like st. Louis
leaves any question existing of it's ability
to keep the violent elements of its pop
ulat1on under foot must go to the wall
The lesson is one for St Louis alone

past forty-eight hours to be behind every

NORAH'S SACRIFICE.
AS she walked on through the narrow
streets of the Old town, keeping a sharp
lookout, Norah noticed that she was be-
ing watched by small, dirty boy-an
urchin with face prematurely aged
and lined, in strong contrast with his
childish figure. He was smoking a ciga-
rette, and he leered at Norah, evidently

Baer, general secretary of the United
Society Of Christian Endeavor, arrived
here today from Boston, to confer with
the local committee regarding the ar
engagements for their international con-

his correspondence already indicates a
much larger attendance than ever before.
