1878, ninety-day certificates could not
be made to take the place of money.

not at all all impossible one. Men talk
Of millions and billions of money as

When one man in congress, under a

rights of deliberative body, stifle
all parliamentary law, and put the
entire business of the congress into
the hands and control of dozen
men, and we see that one man do

distrust the wisdom of the people who
permit it-having the power in their
hands to prevent it.

FOREST STUDY.

The people down east are evidently
working seriously at ee-study. We
have circular from DR.. G. A.
Schenck, forester to the Vanderbilt
estate at Biltmore, N. c., about
European tour he is about to under
take. He will head party of stud
ents who will spend three months in
the old country examining public and
private forests in the Rhine Valley
and various parts of Germany, the
Tyrol, Hungary and Romania. They
will journey largely OH foot and the
expense to each man will be about
$500. This would be an instructive
and valuable experience for anybody
who appreciated the future value of
tree-culture to this country.

The First National Bank is reported
to have about $72, 900, 600 of deposits,
and the Illinois Trust and Savings
Bank about 1858, 900, 900 making the
three largest banks in Chicago. Now
add to this all the other deposits in
the country-I have no figures to show
how much they are-but the aggre-
gate sum is staggering. When called
for, as they would be in a panic, they
must be paid. Now where will the
Corn Exchange and the Merchants
National find the money to meet a de.
mand for $57, 600, 900. in case of de.
mand? The $21, 735, 1888 of deposit by
other banks would be called for to
meet the demand on themselves. That
could be met by their $24, 11S, S62 of
specie and other cash items, leaving
30, 3S2, 997 to 60 OH individual deposits
of over $4,000. 900. For which they
have loans and discounts $50, 721 1855.
Would this be available? In case of
panic and a run on all the banks,
who could buy the paper, or would
risk buying lit? And in the demand

now threaten the overthrow of the
governmental organism, and the erec-
tion in it's stead of moneyed autoc-
racy. The prosperity of the country
is OH wholly spe culative basis-the
great industrial combinations made
possible by the Dingley tariff. A
little thing might bring "black
Friday" and a panic. Suppose the
courts should rule against the great
Hill Hartman and other like COM
binations, and panic in stocks make
great and unexpected demand for
money, and the banks refuse discount
or an inclement season cause failure
Of crops; or, any one Of a hundred
things that would disturb confidence,
ana make demand for money very
great. The banks would begin to
hedge. Stocks as security for loans
would begin to be questioned; credit
ors would be clamorous for payment
and debtors would have trouble to get
money If an over stocked market
should induce the industrial COM
bines to shut down for time, each
backward pulsation would add to the
pressure behind until break of con-
fidence in front would let down the
flood and universal panic would close
all avenues to money. Depositors
would begin run on the banks, and
where would the hundreds Of mil
lions required to pay them be found
available?
The Corn Exchange and the Mer-
chants National Bank Of Chicago
have combined while this is being
written. The Corn Exchange itself
is made up of the consolidation of SIX
banks. The Chronicle gives their

the power to expand or contract the
issue and circulation of money, make |
times prosperous or hard as they
should see fit. Expand the circula-
tion, make money plenty, and stimu-
late speculation, until prices should
60 kiting, then sell out their hold
ings; contract the circulation, make
money scarce. and where prices fell
low enough buy in what they wanted
in any line, then expand again, and
as prices should go up, sell out again.
This they can do by making loans or
refusing them. This power would be
absolute in their hands to control
business, courts, legislatures, con-
gress and government, and make of
the agencies of government hot-beds
of corruption. With protective
tariff and class laws protecting and
favoring the rich, while having power
to combine billions Ill capitalized
stocks, with control of all the actual
money in the land, and with congress
in the hands of the speaker and a
committee appointed by him the peo-
pie as a mass, and all business of the
common people would be at the mercy
of moneyed autocracy. from which
nothing could release them but rebel
lion and sanguinary war.
All this being possible, it behooves
the voters Of the nation, regardless
of party affiliations or preferences, to
look the facts square in the face,
meet the crisis, and by changing the
administrators of government, pre-
vent the enactment of such laws as
will make opposition to the central
ization impossible, which the present
administrators will enact. unless re-
moved and less avaracious and un-
scrupulous men are put in their
places.
Power arrogates to itself more pow
er. 1t thrives on the credulity and
ignorance, and indifference of the
people. When strong enough it will
defy the people, and the people must
submit or revolt. Then, with the
financial institutions of the country,
all the lines Of transportation on land
and sea, and the great industries and
combines in the control of the mon
eyed autocrats, what can the people
do but fight with their naked hands,
without resources to arm themselves,
or means of movement?
There are no Jacksons now to stand
up and face the moneyed power and
combinations in defence of the people
until the people can be heard. In the
great crisis now facing them, the peo-
pie have only one weapon for defence,
only one chance for successfully meet
inc IT, and that ia the ballot They

WHAT "BiLLY'S STRiN0 OF WARDS
DID,

In its political columns of recent
edition the Chicago American has the
following:
MIR. Barretts friends point signifi-
cantly to the fact that in the Ninth.
Tenth and Eleventh Wards. known as
'Loeiller's string the Democratic can
didate for Sheriff Jared Ill. especially
in the precincts Inhabited by those
Hebrews and Bohemians. among
whom Mr.. Loefiler claims to be a
power"
Readers of The Chicago Eagle are
not surprised at this. The develop.
ments in the local political field of
the last six or eight months speak
loudly as to Mr.. Loefiler's way of do
ing politics.
That Mr.. Barrett was knitted In
"Billy's string of wards" close study
of the returns by Mr.. Barrett's friends
will, 1t is claimed. clearly indicate.
Now that Mr.. Barrett has been tri.
umphantly elected, however. the incl
dent may be regarded as blessing in
disguise In that II is said to be very
likely to bring about the defeat Of any
scheme TO boost BILLY" into official
position in the organization. and to
ultimately hasten his final departure
from the arena of politics.

4 GOOD SET OF PUBLIC SERHANTS

Whatever may be the feelings of dis.
appointed candidates, political man.
ayers and others having direct personal
interest In the fight, the gratifying fact
remains from a Taxpayers standpoint
that the recent campaign resulted In
the election Of m exceptionally good
Set OF county officials.
From the sheriff and the Treasurer
down through the whole list OF county
officers.elect, there Is not a fault to be
found with the personnel Of II.
1t Is safe TO predict that the affairs
OF their respective Offices will be con-
Quoted efficiently and honestly.
This Is something TO be thankful for.
and II the result Of hard-fOught cam.
paigns will be Of this kind then the
public may rest assured that the hard
or fought they are the better.
Another idea derived from this cleo.
zion II that II Is best for the taxpay.
ers that the two great parties In large
cities and constituencies should be
close, and that neither should ut any
time have an overwhelming majority
In numbers over the other The closer
the parties are In numerical strength
the cleaner and better their candidates
will be.

THE FORCE or EXAMPLE.

The Eagle has always opposed the
idea Of combinations Of school teach.
ers organized for the purpose OF die
tating 10 the School Board and 10 the
duly appointed superintendent and OF.
ficials Of the school system.
II holds the same views still In this
regard and points TO recent develop.
ments In support Of It's position.
In the first place, the organization
has carried It's theories Of late to the
point Of absurdity by organizing as n
labor union and affiliating with the
Federation Of Labor. although In do.
ing so 1t has hut followed 10 its logical
termination the course upon which II
some time ago entered.
The crusade against capital and for
increased taxes naturally developed
into the idea of n labor union. With
the idea OF a labor union comes its
natural accompaniment of demands
for increased wages, shorter hours,
and last, but not least, strikes.
Now let us look for results.
DO we not see school teachers In
subordinate positions rebelling against
the authority of their superiOrs and
against the Board!
What do we see following from that?
The extraordinary spectacle Of pupils
going on strike to compel the Board
Of Education to retain these same sub
ordinate teachers, thereby overriding
the latter's superiors.
This Is the force of example.
The striking" pupils Of one school,
we are Informed, marched around the
building the other day carrying signs
and emblems such as these:
Shorter hours Of study"
Longer recesses."
mo home studies" etc, etc.
This is evolution.
Now The Eagle would ask, where Is
all this to end!
We confess our inability to even i'm
agine what the termination of 1t will
be.
We can only say that the situation
is one calculated to bring ridicule upon
the Chicago public school system, and
also add hope that the declarations,
combinations and unions among the
school teachers may not eventually
play havoc with that magnificent in
stitution Of which Chlcagoans are just
ly proud.

4 GRAVE RESPONSIBILITY.

Parents who encourage their children
in attendance at the public schools to
go on strikes are mourning grave re.
sponsibility.
The question arises, Are not these
parents Installing into the young minds
Of their children notions and ideas Oh.
posed 10 law and order and to law.
fully constituted authority?
Are these ideas calculated to lead
these children into ultimate good citi.
zenship?
Are they not calculated rather to
lead them in the direction of anarchy |.
However these queries may be an.
swered, here are some facts as pub
lished one day last week in the public
press which cannot fail to give
thoughtful people some food for reiiec-
ton:
"Three new school strikes started
yesterday.
This time the centers of activity IRE
the Garfield school at Fourteenth and
johnson streets. the John NJ. Smyth
school. Thirteenth street and Blue ISL
and avenue. ana the Tilden school.
Lake and Elizabeth streets.

clarcd on.
''rhe strike at the John NJ. Smytll
school. at Thirteenth street and Blue

BILE Is over new system OF marking

Lesser be removed or forced to revise
her system.
AT the Tilden school. Lake and
Elizabeth streets. the pupils are OH Il
strike for longer rccesses. They de-
mand that the five-minute recess be OK

We believe that most good citizens
will agree with us In the belief that
what these children are most In need
of at the hands Of their parents IL a
liberal application Of the birch.

Mr.. Harrison to him is to compare a
gnat to an elephant. but at the same
time 1t will be readily admitted. and
by none more readily than the friends
iof Mr.. Barrett. that Robert T.. Burke
has been ever that gentlcman's loyal
friend. and that no man in any party
or any faction worked more loyalty for
the success of the Democratic candi-
date for Sheriff than Robert T.. Burke.
We doubt If so much can be said for
Mr. Harrison. We never heard of his
setting the town aiire for the ticket
during the campaign.
Certainly the returns do not show
that Mr.. Harrison's closest political
friend and ally. William Loefllcr. did
a great deal for the head of the Demo
cratic county ticket.
And they say "straws show how the
wind blows"

That RECOUNT GOSSIP.

1t is announced that recount Of the
entire vote of Cook County returned mt
the last election and the expenditure Of
$4,000 and three months time will be
necessitated II the plea for contest

candidates Is granted by the County

Committee and other Democratic chief.
talns.
While we believe In justice being
done to all, We cannot help expressing
the hope that the election officials will
go slow about this proposition Of order
ing recount.
or course, II in the official count there
should be discovered such very large
discrepancies as might make 1t seem
possible for n recount to change the re.
suits, 1t would be the duty Of the
County Court to order the ballots to be
opened.
But In the present instance the plu-
ralities Of the Republican county can.
didates (of course excepting the Sheriff
are so overwhelmingly large, running
as they do In some instances as high as
1900 and 1900, II would seem just
at present that TO order such large ex.
penditure as that mentioned above
would be little better than wasting the
taxpayers money.

every meeting, found just thirteen
members present.
1t seems as IL nothing could shake
off this portentous shadow of i'll luck.
When several months ago a similar
cotcric of political schemers undertook
a similar task. the midnight meetings
were attended by thirteen members.
Everybody knows how these star
chamber conspiracies resulted.
Everybody remembers how unsuc.
cessful were the efforts to Dust Robert
+. Burke from the secretaryship of the
Central Committee. and from even a
membership of that body.
The recollection of the spring pri.
maries has not yet passed away.
To this day there are men who took
part I'm that movement who lay 1t all
at the door of the hoodoo number.
We are credibly Informed that when
the key was turned in the door of the
Mayors office the other night and
noses were counted. Carter turned
white about the gills.
Somebody else noticed it. too. and
after some whispered conversation and
much bobbing of heads one man got
up and left.
This was supposed to break the spell.
but one may judge of the constcrna-
ton Of the schemers when at the next
meeting precisely the same number
showed up.
Another man was sent out on n mes.

body at all attended. as every member
of the cabal feared that If he attended
he would arrive in time to constitute
the thirteenth man.

Now the members of the cabal are
wondering whether they are hoodooed
by Thirteen or ''Jonahed" by Harrison.

THE TRUTH ABOUT r. E. BURKE.

One Of our esteemed daily contempt
raries, who, truth TO tell, has never
gone out OF Its way to pay compliments
to Robert E. Burke, had this to say in
editorially discussing the local political
situation the other day:
1T Is only granting to Robert Il.
Burke the recognition which he de-
serves in this connection when 1t Is
said that We're II not for him Garter il.
Harrison never would have been
known in public life in the first place
and never would have been able to con-
tinue in public life for rhis length Of
time in the second place.
1.-THE office Of Sheriff Of Cook County
Is not relatively higher one than that
of Mayor OF Chicago, but the fact that
Thomas f. Barrett Is the first Demo-
crat TO be elected TO the former post in
twenty-four years gives him prestige
in his party which is certainly equal to
that enjoyed by Carter II. Harrison.
Furthermore, Thomas f. Barrett Is
recognized as a man who has dlscov-
cred himself man who has not need
ed either a tutor or manager In poll
ties, a man Of strong personality and of
wide popularity--a man, in short, with
whom Carter II. Harrison cannot be
compared to advantage.
1T does not seem reasonable that
Mr.. Barrett will consent TO take place
in the councils Of his party secondary
10 the Mayor. IL seems more reason
able that he will demand first place.
But more reasonable still does 1t seem
that his party viii gladly turn from
the City Hall, Of which all that is re-
spectacle in it Is very tired, TO the
court house for leadership during the
next few years"
All OF this Is the truth. All the world
knows that Mr.. Burke did discover
Mr.. Harrison. when that individual
was unknown as political entity and
boosted him 10 the high Office Of Mayor
OF Chicago, and for time the leader
ship OF the Democratic party in the
West. All the world knows, too, how
Mr.. Harrison has repaid Mr.. Burke for
what the latter has done for him.
II is true, also, that Mr.. Barrett Is
a seh.made man, and that TO compare

Of scheming for the control of the par
