A VILE sLANDERER.

Of all the newspapers. claiming or pre- tending to be Democratic, not one comes to thls office which is so saturated with venom and hatred of the South as is The Chicago Chronicle. That 1t some- times hides this feeling and throws a sop to the Southern people does not In any way detract from the disreputable char acter of some of its editorials. This is a fair sample:
 Under the besotted and brutal mislead- ership of incompetent Southern politi- clans the poor whites of the South and their children are rapidly sinking into an ignorance and degradation in contrast with which slavery has some apology. For it was claimed by the shareholder that he provided for the physical necessities of his slaves in order to get the most labor out of them.
 A more utterly false and vile state ment was never printed. There are few Republican papers in the North which still deal in such misrepresentation, but even they are few. So far as our obser- vation extends The Chronicle is the only Democratic paper to descend to such islander. It enjoys a monopoly of that kind of literature which, as The Chat tanooga Times says. lis easily proven distinctly false" The Times adds
 No class of whites in the South is falling behind the negro; that Is very exasperating falsehood, consciously and viciously untrue in some cases, and mere parroting of others falsehocds In people like the editor of The Chicago Chronicle

INTERURBANS PAY TAXES
RESPOND TO WARNING LETTER
FROM CONTROLLER BREUNIG.
Greenfield and Greenwood Companies
Add S577.9O 10 City Treasury--Irv-
ington's ..BiII of Rights"

Controller Breunig has received payments
from the Greenfield and Greenwood lines
for interurban tax since Nov l, 1901. The
controller sent letters to the officers of those
roads Monday apprising them of the de-
cision of Mayor Bookwalter to not sign
their interurban charters until this tax was
paid. The answer was two checks yester-
day aggregating S557.S0.
On Nov. 1, 1901, the city offered contracts
to all the interurban roads. The Union
Traction Company was the only one accept
ing, and since that time il has paid the s.
cent tax per car. The two other lines had
the same privileges in the streets, but
paid tax. Consequently the Mayor felt
they ought. In receiving contracts, pay for
the time they had used the streets after
refusing contracts. The notice that he
would not sign their charters brought them
to time. The contracts of both roads were
sent TO Minocqua, Wis, yesterday for sig
nature by the mayor.
The Greenwood line during that period
paid s2S1.75 and the Greenfield line s27615
The report of the Greenfield line showed
that il brought Gag cars In in May, 652 in
June and 63S in July. During the entire
nine months over $500 cars were brought
into the city.

STEER RUNS AMUCK
CREATES PANIC ON wOODSIDE
AVENUE.
Smashes a Bicycle and Badly Fright
ems Women and Children
Finally LassOe6.

A half-tamed steer caused a lively time
on Brookside avenue yesterday afternoon.
Before the steer completed it's rampage
ii knocked a boy from bicycle, broke the
wheel and frightened streetful OF people.
The steer belonged to a herd that was
being driven by two men from the Union
Stockyards When the animals were driven
out Brookside avenue the unruly steer be-
came frightened at something and created
a general stampede. The other animals ran
wildly to both sides of the street, but were
soon corraled. The steer that caused the
trouble got out of the reach of the drivers
long whips and ran down the street with
its head lowered, evidently bent on mis-
chief. In its mad rush the steer first en-
countered a small boy riding a bicycle
The boy did not have time to get out of
the way and was knocked from his wheel
He was not seriously injured. he jumped
up Immediately and ran from the place
leaving his wheel on the sidewalk. The
steer became entangled in the frame of
the wheel and before 1T could be extricated
had demolished the wheel. The noise and
their homes. When they saw the steer
rushing down the street they ran for their
lives, many Of them in their panic, leaving
their homes and running to other places for
safety. The screaming Of the frightened
women and children COMPOUNDED the con-
fusion and it seemed that no end would
come to the AFFAIR. Patrolman Mackessy,
however, was informed of the difficulty and
ran out Brookside avenue to help the
women and children who might become
objects of the mad steers wrath. He
chased the animal into an alley, In the
rear of 1850 Brooksde avenue, where it fell
exhausted. Mackessy stood guard over the
beast while he told man to telephone TO
the stockyards. The animal was finally
tied and taken back to the pens.

THOUGHT Goss A "CHINK."
of c. ID. Lands Under Mis-
conception.


Some months ago the newspapers con-
tanned some stories in aluson TO the
friendship between WI Tingfang, the
Chinese minister at Washington, and
Representative c. B. Lands. 1t was said
that the friendship between the men was
so strong that Minister WI had arranged
to pay Mr.. Lands a visit If he came West.
WI did not come, but an interesting little
incident happened at Delphi the other
night which grew out Of these rumors.
Minister WI is famous for his fluent use
of the English language.
A few evenings ago David X. GOss, VINO
is at the head OF the American College at
Strassburg, was in Delphi consulting with
Representative Lands in regard TO the
latter's little son entering the American
college. On this occasion it was necessary
that Mr.. Goss should leave Delphi on
night train. Mr.. Lands had arranged to
see him off and they spent part of the
evening chatting in one of the city hotels.
While thus engaged, man passed through
the office and spoke to Mr.. Lands. The
latter is known for his afability on all
occasions. He arose and shook hands ana
a moment later the latter sat down near
Lands and GOss. He seemed much in
terested in the conversation, although he
had not learned who Mr.. Landis's ac-
quaintance was. The two men talked con-
siderably about European manners and
customs. At length Mr.. Goss consulted his
watch and found it was time to leave for
the train. He picked up his valise and
Lands also arose. Turning to the man
with whom he had spoken a short time be-
fore, he asked if he would excuse him as
he had to go to the depot. The man re-
marked that he would and at the same
time called Lands aside.
Say" he remarked in a half whisper,
giving his thumb a jerk in the direction of
Mr.. Goss, lis that the Chink that was

MR.. HEMENWAY In CITY
SAYS CAMPAIGN GUNS ARE BOOMING
IN FIRST DISTRICT.
Republican Organization i'm Fine Con-
ditiOn-Farmers and LabOring Men
Friendly to Ticket-Other News.

The campaign in the First district has
already begun. so far as the congressional
candidates are concerned. Representative
James A Hemenway, the Republican can
didate for reelection in the district, was in
the city yesterday comforting with some Of
the Republican leaders in regard to the
campaign. Up to this time Mr.. Hemenway
has made Eve speeches in his district. John
w. Spencer, the Democratic candidate, has
also become active. Mr.. Hemenway came
up yesterday from New Harmony. He
spent Thursday at the New Harmony agri-
cultural fair. 1t so happened that John w.
Spencer was also there, and these two men
appeared to be the chief attraction. Neither
made a speech, and the fair ground cam
paign was chiefly of a Misunderstanding order.
Mr.. Hemenway reports the Republican
organization in good shape in his district
The farmers are prosperous and apparent
~ satisfied, and the Republicans will make
good gains I'm the agricultural districts.
The mills are running and the labor Of the
district is employed. In his speeches Mr.,
Hemenway is paying particular attention
to the work of the House committee on
appropriations in the last session of Con-
gress. He was a member of the committee
"
Representative Cannon. In his district the
Democrats have been making political cap
ital out of the fact that he helped make
the appropriations. In abiding TO the
work of the committee Mr.. Hemenway in
his speeches calls attention to the fact
that al the time the appropriations were
made the only objection from the Demo-
Gratis to the entire $500 600. 900 appropriations
was made to the amount set apart for the
care OF the army in the Philippines. Mr..
Hemenway is also discussing the trust
question and is calling special attention
TO the prosperous condition Of the country
and is advocating the 'let well enough
alone doctrine. He is modest man, and
has very little to say about his own
chances of winning in the First. His
friends, however, are not so modest and
declare he will be elected.

Want to Straighten TangIe.

The question of how to settle the justice
of the peace tangle so that everybody will
get square deal is just now exciting local
politicians. The question is how to select
four candidates from five men nominated
at the primaries last March. James Nc
Nulty received the smallest number of
votes, but he does not see why he should
withdraw and contends that he is as
legally nominated any of the other can
didateS. The point that is bothering the
politicians is how to adjust the matter
without going TO the trouble and expense
of holding another primary or convention.
Chairman Elliott, of the Republican county
committee is preparing to have a meeting
of his executive committee next Monday
night, when ii is hoped TO agree on some
way out of the difficulty.
