MAYOR HARRISON'S JERENnAD-WAR
AGAINST BUCKET SHOPS-LEGIS-
LATIyE VOTERS LEAGUE.

Chicago, April 11-Mayor Carter H. Harrison
has turned loose another Jeremad upon Chi
caso- As prophecy of evil his annual message
to the City Council is entitled to the place Of
honor among the archives dedicated to the dark
side of Chicagos civic life. No previous Mayor
has painted so dark picture or presented so
gloomy an outlook as Mayor Harrison offers to
the people Of Chicago in this the third term of
his administration. And yet there those
who, while disagreeing with him politically be-
lieve that he is peculiarly qualified to assume
the role of jeremiah. and therefore accept his
depressing views about Chicago as truth.
Financially the city's affairs" he says "ara
going from bad to worse. The embarrassment
of 1901 has become poverty in 1902; and unless
stringent measures of relief be resorted to the
poverty Of 1902 will become positive restitution
in 1903
The Mayor has reached the conclusion that
only constitutional convention can apply the
heroic remedies which Chicagos desperate case
imperatively demands. Were the sore spots
not so many" he says. Legislative action and
occasional amendment might work a cure;
but the number and gravity of the citys Ills are
such that complete remedy only be had
through the fundamentally of modern char
ter" What Chicago needs most, he thinks Is
the power to double the amount of the bond
in building modern bridges over the Chicago
River in extending the municipal lighting sys-
tenn I'm developing the drainage canal water
power and in building bathing beaches and
modern garbage plants All these things and
more the Mayor would do for Chicago if he had
the money. That the money is not in sight is,
as he understands it, because the legislature and
the local taxing bodies have been engaged in
a game of battledore and shuttlecock with the
municipality in which the latter has had no
more chance than a ping pong ball. legisia-
tive act consolidating the taxing bodies will
remedy this he says. In this opinion he is sup
ported by those who have made a study Of Chi
cago's needs
But worst Of all, says the Mayor, the Il WIZ
spirit of Chicago is dead Instead OF interesting
themselves in the welfare and good name of the
city the leading citizens have abandoned 1t to
its fate taking time only from their private at
fairs to criticise the things that he and his ad-
ministration are doing to get the city out Of
trouble In the place Of the Il wilr' spirit what
the Mayor calls white Iivered astheticisn" has
developed, combining the public interest to cru
sades against biIlboards and the smoke nuisance.
and thereby diverting attention from matters Of
vital Importance. The assertion that the spirit
of willing and doing is slumbering is not denied,
but men who have been identified with munich
pal affairs during Mayor Harrison's regime say
that his administration was the opiate that
caused the somnolence.

Mrs. Missiilier Critically III.

Mrs. Missiller is very sick with
pneumonia. Tuesday night her con-
dition WAS considered as extremely
critical, but the doctor thought if she
lived through the night the chances
OF recovery were more hopeful. Yes
terday she was no worse and vet not
perciptibly better. However. that she
was holding her own was regarded as
hopeful. The sympathy of all who
know her is with this good woman
and their prayers are that she may
yet get well. AS has been truly said
OF her Mrs Missillier is some of the
salt Of the earth-one who makes the
world better for her living in it, and
whose nobility of character, heroic
womanhood aud self-sacrificing nature
are an inspiration and example to
us all.
Her condition this morning re-
mains about the same.
