TIME TO ACT.

The Citizen approved of the refer
ence of the high license ordinance to
the proper committee Of the city coun-
Gil for examination and report. This
Is the proper procedure in all legisla-
ton, municipal or otherwise. What IS
called the "railroading" OF laws
through any law-making body is dan
gerous. There is scarcely any pro-
posal. no matter how trivial, that is
not deserving of proper examination
and thoughtful consideration by a
committee.
But it seems that the chairman of
the committee to whom the high IL
cense ordinance was referred has con-
ceived the idea that he can kill it by
shenanigan. He feels that the ordi-
nance is in his possession as an indi-
vidual. In this he is mistaken. The
ordinance was referred to the commit
tee, and the chairman of the commit
tee is but one member of it. The ma
jority of the committee, if they are fit
to be public servants or public agents,
will know their rights in the premises,
and insist that the majority shall gov
ern. 1t is now nearly a week since
the ordinance was referred to the COM
mittee, and on one excuse or another
the chairman has refused to call a
meeting to consider the bill. His ac-
tions, coupled with his reported boasts,
give ample indication that he does not
aim to keep faith with the community
or do his duty as member of the
council Under these circumstances
the majority of the committee must
assume responsibility for action.
Mr.. Councilman Reid should un-
derstand that he is not dealing
with tipsy poems nor refractory par
keepers now. He is dealing with a
community of self-governing freemen
who know their rights. The majority
of the committee should see to it that
Mr.. Reid does his duty. If he puts
himself in contempt of the council, let
the fact be made known to the people,
who will find means of exercising
their will.

Street EtiUuette.

In meeting a lady in a public thor
oughfare in America gentleman al
ways waits for her bow of recognition
before lifting his hat or addressing
her. In Europe, however. the contrary
is the established rule, it being the
gentleman's place to bow first, when.
if the lady desires not to recognize
him, she ignores his salutations, thus
giving the cut direct. 1t is not good
form in any place for a lady to stop a
gentleman i'll the street for the pur-
pose of chatting with him, though she
may with perfect propriety pause to
speak if he take the initiative. Pro
lOnged talks In the street are not, how
ever, considered good form, even be-
tween persons of the same sex, the
better plan being to walk on slowly
until the conversation is concluded

GREAT Brittle IN OHIO.

There is a battle royal on in Ohio.
1t is war to the knife and the knife to
the hilt between Senator Hanna and
Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland.
The supreme court of Ohio has been
drawn into the conflict and has hand
ed down a decision declaring the char
ter of Cleveland, and indirectly the
charter of nearly every other town in
the Buckeye State, illegal and uncon-
stitutional "A condition without
parallel in the history of the country
is threatened. To deal with the situa-
ton the governor of Ohio has called
an extra session of the legislature, to
convene next Monday.
Mayor Johnson, it is charged by his
political opponents, is expressing the
poor corporations and playing the
part of tyrant in the matter of tax
alton. Professor Edward Bemis, of
Chicago University, went to Ohio TO
note the situation in person, and he
explains with some relish how Mayor
Johnson is using the great power oy
which he is clothed by the Cleveland
charter to extort taxes from the down
trodden corporations. 1t appears ac-
cOrding to Professor Bemis, that ''the
entire assessment upon the personal
property and real estate of the street
railway and lighting companies of that
city was only about 10 per cent of the
market value of their securities, or of
a capitalization of their acknowledged
net earnings at IL per cent, while
other property in the city, outside of
the steam railroads, was assessed on
the average at 40 per cent to 60 per
cent of it's true value"
Mayor Johnson, with a pernicious
activity which has disgusted Senator
Hanna and all the rest of the leading
Republicans of Ohio, brought this
state of affairs to the attention of the
local board of assessors. He showed
that zone of the local gas companies,
which had been assessed on real estate
and personal property at less than
81 400, 900. had averaged dividends of
8 per cent cash and per cent in stock
worth much over $500, and this stock,
of par value of $3,S0O,OO0 had been
accumulated entirely out of earnings.
The mayor insisted that the stock was
worth $3.50, and offered to pay that
much for it, The local board of
assessors was impressed by Mayor
Johnson's representations, and added
about $20000,000 to the taxable value
of the Cleveland corporations. But
the increased assessment was not al

plentiful in New York that the Great
Lakes would not begin to go around.
But there is the Mississippi river. If
Mr.. Rockefeller should buy that, it
would make a pleasing feature in a
very considerable extent of park. The
time will come if the Republican party
is continued in power long enough
when the evils Of public ownership of
land and waterways will be generally
understood, and it will be regarded as
anarchy to talk to the contrary. Pri-
vate ownership of water works, and
other public utilities, has been pro-
nounced far preferable to public own
ership of these things, and especially
preferred by those who own them.
Then why should not private owner
ship of all the lakes and rivers be
equally beneficial to the best interests
of the people. Nearly all the corpor-
ations and millionaires are more expe-
rienced and competent owners than
the people.
If Republican rule is continued and
trust domination becomes more solid
ified we must prepare for great
changes. The mere individual can not
be permitted to have anything that a
trust magnate thinks he wants.

The MAGNATES REACHING OUT.

The New York billionaires, having
obtained the earth, are now trying to
obtain possession of the waters under
the armament. The great Napoleon
of finance, Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan, has
cornered the Atlantic, and now one of
the Vanderbilts is beginning in small
way by offering North Hampstead,
Long Island town, $4,000 for lake
supposed to belong to that town, and
over which the town exercises juris-
diction. The report that he needs the
water of the lake for his stocks is
probably without foundation. What
he says he wants with it is to have it
for a fish pond in his park 1t is said
that the price offered is a great temp
tation to the mayor and common coun-
Gil, and that they will sell it if they
are assured the people will not hang
them. If the city fathers sell the lake.
and another generation comes along
and finds itself confronted with tres
pass notices when they want to fish or
to enjoy sail by moonlight on its
placid waters, they will curse, their
fathers if they neglect to hang the city
officials that sold their birthright for a
mess of pottage.
Ii, however, this sale should be con-
summated, it will probably suggest the
idea to one of rival Millionaire family
to buy Lake Superior. That would
be most delightful feature of rich
mans park. There is excellent see
merry along it's banks, the waters are

A FOOLISH PREACHER.

The Rev. George L. McNutt, of In
dianapoIis, is either strongly disposed
toward sensationalism, or his range of
mental vision is extremely contracted.
In either event he must be regarded, in
the light of some of the statements
attributed to him through the press
dispatches, quite an unsafe guide to
those who endeavor to study existing
social problems.
The latest declaration attributed to
the Rev, Mr.. McNutt is. in brief, that
the ordinary church is unwilling to ac-
cord the benefit of membership in it to
the ordinary workingman, and that
that particular citizen is called upon

have not learning enough to know
whether in the earliest times ravens
were accounted tunlucky." If so. why
were they chosen from among all the
birds of the air for the mercifuI er-
rand of carrying bread to Elijah in the
wilderness? Did they steal it? They
are given to theft! Also in the written
word we are assured that "God hear
eth the young ravens when they cry
out unto him." And nothing Of this
is said of doves or of any other white
or heavenly kind of bird. An expla-
nation is given in the Egyptian COM
mentary on st. Luke in the Coptic
script by EpiphaniuS, A. d. 368-401.
The passage is certainly very curious,
and | am permitted to trapscribe it
here: why, then, did the evangelist
mention no name among the birds ex-
cept ravens only? Because the hen
raven, having laid her eggs and
hatched her young. is wont to fly
away and leave them on account of
the hue of their color, for when
hatched they are red in appearance.
Then the Nourisher of all creation
sends to them a little swarm OF in
sects, putting 1t by their nest. and
thus the little ravens are fed until
the color of their body is, as it were,
dyed and becomes black. But after
seven days the old ravens return, and,
seeing that the bodies of their young
have become perfectly like their own,
henceforward they take to them and
bring them food of their own ac-
cord"
1t is for naturalists to ascertain
whether or no this strange account
Of the young ravens holds good in our
day.-Cornhill Magazine.

Of basaltic pillars, varying in shape
from pentagon to an Octagon, the av-

lars is not the least wonderful part
about them, for, although they may be
counted by thousands and tens of

with symmetry that suggests a ma

One of the peculiarities about the
military service in Germany is the pa
ternal interest that the officers are re-
quired to take in the frugality Of the
men. The pay of the soldier is only
q cents day, but the army regula-
tions guard it jealously. Each man is
expected to keep his money in little
bag suspended from a string around
his neck, and any officer during in
Spection may demand to have the bags
opened and their contents shown. IL

"It's mistake to suppose that joss
is Chinese word" says a retired
ships carpenter. I've travelled good
bit in the orient in my time, and
among the odds and ends of interest
ing information / picked up was a
Knockout of the genuineness of joss
as a Chinese word. Cinnamon only
know joss when they come in con
tract with Europeans. A Chinese priest
that | became chummy with in Ham
kow told me that there was no such
word in Chinese. He explained that
the word was corruption of the
Spanish word 'Dios' and had come into
use through the missionaries. Many
early missionaries he said, We're Span
ish priests, and their pronunciation of
'Dios was speedily corrupted into
joss by native tongues and applied to
the Chinese deities. It's only on the
Chinese Seaboard that the word is un-
derstood by Cinnamon. In the inte-
rior, the priest told me. the Ceestials
had no knowledge of it. t.''-Philadelphia

Breathing of Insects.

Insects generally breathe through
special pores in various parts of their
bodies and If these pores are closed by
oil they are suffocated Any one may
test this by dropping sweet oil on the
thorax or back of wasp. 1t very

found one of the best things to use for
