Term.

Last evening at the meeting of the city
council Dell G. Morgan became the chief
executive of the municipality and Mayor
Victor Jennings again became a private cit
izen after serving as head Of the city ad-
ministration for two years. Before retiring
Mayor Jennings read his farewell address
to the old council, which convened for the
last time to clean up It's outstanding busl-
ness. such as the allowing OF p~ayrolls for
March, and then made way for the newly
elected aldermen.
Following the usual custom the aldermen
will be seated in alphabetical order from
right to left.
A t this meeting the heads Of the several
city departments are expected to submit
them annual reports. Auditor Evans is
unable to have his ready, as the old coun-
Gil did not complete its business until
last evening. Treasurer True for the same
reason may not have his ready, but all the
other officials are expected to have their
reports in time.
Litigation Of the City.
The report of City Solicitor wadsworth,
who failed of reelection for a third term,
Is completed and It shows that the city has
been eminently successful in it's lawsuits
during his tenure of ONCE. The report will
contain a resume Of the litigation in which
the city was involved during Mr.. Wads-
worth's four years OF Office.
The suit against the motor company,
which has been pending since 1891, for re-
fund Of special taxes for paving and grad
ing, was forced to trial by Mr.. Wadsworth
on his assuming ONCE and he succeeded in
securing judgment in favor OF the city for
1000, which has since been paid by the
motor company. The suit of the Rock
Island railroad against the city to close up
South Seventh street, which had been de-
cided adverse to the city in the district
court, was taken to the supreme court and
a reversal secured by Mr.. Wadsworth,
thereby saving the street to the public.
OF the forty-six cases against the city
during Mr.. Wadsworth's tenure of office
forty-one were won by the city and only
Eve lost. In the several damage suits the
amount claimed was $27, 500. while the
amount recovered against the city only ag-
gregated $3.50. A number of damage suits
are still pending.
City Is Getting Good.
The report Of Chief of Police Albro shows
that for the year ending April /, 1902, the
total number Of arrests made were 1902, as
against 1.403 for the previous twelve
months. OF these 30s arrests were for state
o~ffenses, in which seventy-one convictions
were obtained; sixty-seven were discharged.

Failures by Sections.

Geographically considered, the record Of
insolvencies for the first quarter of 1902
makes a most erratie comparison with the
previous year. In New England states
there appears a decrease of sixty-nine fall
ures and nearly $2,OOO,OO in amount of de-
faulted Indebtedness. The change Is prac-
tically confined to Massachusetts,, and it is
noticed that the decrease is not due to any
exceptional loss last year since liabilities
of over 1900, 900 in liabilities was reported
for the three middle states, and Pennsyl-
yania supplied practically al the direrence,
large suspensions, a rubber concern and a
coal mine. Eliminating these two exeep-
$1,000 900 Indebtedness, the record for Penn
sylvania would be unusually good.
Numerous Failures south.
In the south and southwest there was a
striking increase in number of defaults of
small tra rad F. Wbnose 6nslness was 6sd ny
farms and plantations. During most of
the season cotton commanded a much lower
quotation than in the previous year, yet
It is gradually becoming apparent that
there was no proportionate increase, In
quantity, while the expense OF planting,
the large demand for labor in newly dis
covered oil regions and other industrial
caused a heavy reduction in the yield of
corn and some other crops. and II followed
inevitably that the small storekeepers found
collections slow and In many cases impossi-
BILE. Moreover, the preceding year of large
profits for cotton had accelerated opera
tons In many lines of trade, and the effect
of a bad season was felt the more keenly.
IN the southern states the number of fail
ures increased 1G3. or nearly twenty-four
per cent, although liabilities decreased
somewhat. owing to a few exceptionally
heavy losses last year In Maryland. An
! increase of 126 In the three southwestern
liabilities is little short of 81, O00,0O0
All of the central states reported fewer
failures than a year ago, but a large In
crease in liabilities occurred in Illinois,
mainly of "other commercial failures, in

estate and grain brokerage. Changes were
less striking in the far west and on the

Trusts and Free-Trade.

The common cry of the political
demagogue in this country is that
''the Tariff is mother of the trusts. "
1t would naturally be inferred that
in Free-Trade Great Britain a
great scarcity of trusts would be
found, but the contrary is true.
The English Trades Union Con-
gress recently adopted the follow
ing resolution: I'm view of the
colossal growth of trusts and COM
bines of speculative capitalists and
consequent concentration of CAPT.
tai and monopoly of industry this
congress foresees the grave dan
ger to the nation and the toilers
of dislocation of trade, stoppage
of work and distress of wage ear
ners."
Great Britain is not only a Free
Trade country, but is the home OF
the strongest kind of labor trusts
which are opposing the other
trusts of capital; yet reformation
of the industrial trusts, especially
of the monopolistic kind, continues
with great success.
In this country trusts are a ma
tural accompaniment of the great
industrial development. Stop In
dustry and trusts will cease. Let
hard times return and trusts will
fall. Those who believe in the
Protective policy think that it il
better to have prosperity with the
trusts than hard times without the
trusts. The trusts are great ma
chimes for facilitating production
They should be the servants o.
the people, not the masters. The
remedy lies in the hands OF TIT
people. The existence of trusts
does not depend upon either
, Free Trade or Protection, but o
the two, ee-Trade offers perhaps
the best opportunity for the deve
lopment of the monopolistic varie
: ty of trusts.-Minneapolis "Pro
. gress."

THE SCHOOL TAN.

We have written a great deal
upon the school tax which is to be
voted for in the First ward OF this
parish next Tuesday, to levy two
mill tax for four years, but we con-
slider the matter of such great i'm
portance, that we could never say
zoo much on a question of such
great Importance for this section
of the parish.
We have good public schools
noMbut we lack proper building
accomodations and the special tax
money will be employed only for
sbnilding and improving the school
building and equip them with all
that is necessary to make them
modern school houses.
Voting for the tax will be to ap-
preciate, to understand the need
of education for the growing gen.
eratious, the destiny, the success OF
failure of the children who are
now under our care will depend
upon the schooling and the train
ing we care to give them, educated
they are equipped, armed to mee'
their rivals in business, in state
and national affairs, in trade, com
MERGE and industries they will b
the equal of others and in the pro
LESSONS as we'll, uneducated, the,
remain the common labor of tn
country, the tools and the victim'
of their more fortunate fellow
citizens.
Those who vote against this ia,
will put themselves on record a
being the enemies of the children
of the country, but we trust tina
not one single vote will be cas-
against this tax.

 THE UNWILLING CEREMONIES.
 The ceremony of unyeiling was fixed for Il o'clock Saturday, but long be- 1 fore that hour the streets were filled 1 with marching men and with a great crowd eager to witness the exercises and review. A battalion of French sea- men arrived by special train from An napolis early in the day and, headed by the crack band from the French battle ship, swung through Pennsylvania ave- nue to Lafayette square, where the shrouded figure of the French field marshal awaited the signal for unyeil-, ing. The American soldiers, sailors and marines already had assembled and gave their French brothers in arms a hearty welcome. The American troops were under command of Major General s. B. M. Young.
 President Roosevelt and the members of the cabinet arrived at the unveiling stand shortly before II o'clock and took positions immediately facing the draped figure. Alongside the presiden- tial party sat the French ambassador, M. Cambon; General Brugere, Vice Ad- miral Fournier and other distinguished representatives of the French govern ment and also the Count and Countess de Rochambeau and Count de Lafa- yette, descendants of the gallant sol diers who fought with Washington
 After an impressive opening prayer by Dr. Stafford President Roosevelt stepped to the front of the platform and extended generous welcome to the French guests.
 As the president closed his remarks the Countess de Rochambeau drew aside the wells enveloping the figure, bringing into view the massive bronze proportions of the famous French com- mander, standing proudly erect, with arm outstretched, directing the for tunes of war on the field of Yorktown. A great cheer went up from French men and Americans alike, and at the same instant the Marine band broke into the inspiring strains of the Mar seillaise." As the French national hymn died away Ambassador Cambon escort ed to the front of the platform the youthful sculptor, NJ. Hamar, who exc cuted the statue. TheR the ambassador, speaking in French, delivered an ad- dress.
 The orator of the day was Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts.
