MAYOR MOREHEAD ON FRANCHISE.

It will be quite generally conceded that Mayor Morshead, of Fl Paso is somewhat of level headed business man. The gentleman, in addition to being the official head of the gate city, is the president of a bank, and con ducts successfully a number of othe. business enterprises.
 This is what Mayor Morehead has to say on franchise, and his words are very applicable to Bisbee.
 We believe that the time has come when these corporations should do something for the people in return for these franchise privileges which they enjoy, and as the representatives of the people. elected by the people to transact ;heir business, this city coun- cil is going to sec that they give us something in return for what they receive I told the telephone repre- sentatives the other day that we would absolutely refuse to consider a fran chise that did not give us the power
 
 and we will stick to it. I told them that if I should approve a franchise that did not attempt to regulate their charges to the customer I would be ashamed to look the people in the face afterwards. for they would cef tainly think I had sold them out and they would have good reason to do SO
 This administration is going to be run in the interet of the people an we will not be sweryed by friends CT enemies. Here is the Southern 1nde- pendendent Telephone company, which secured a franchise over two and a half years ago, which now comes to us and wants more time to complete the system. I told them that they could have more time if they could show us positively that they meant business-give us the proof that they had the money to complete the plant but that unless they could do this they could have DO extension; anf even then, we would not accept their old franchise but would demand the privilege of fixing a maximum rate. They were granted franchise when they did not have the money to do the work and have been given time to forage around the country and try to raise it. When we grant fran. chise during my adninistra the people getting the concession will have sc show us that they have the money to carry the. matter out to successful conclusion.

determination of Criminals

DR.. A. II. Kilbourn, superintendent
of the Rochester hospital for the in
sane, is quoted as telling a confer
ence in st. Paul yesterday that all
criminals ought to be killed off. He
went SO far as to say that we have
been going backward since the time
when capital punishment was imposed
for ESQ different offenses.
Possibly the doctor has been loosely
reported, and possibly he did not wish
to have his remarks taken literally.
AS another speaker pointed out, the
severity of the punishment does not
restrain the criminal. There was more
crime in England when men were
hanged for shooting a rabbit than now.
But it is not punishment, but extermi-
nation Of the criminal class that DR..
Kilbourn is thinking Of. Here we
must proceed with caution. There are
criminals and criminals, the profes-

TRUE GRAIN OF HUMAN NATURE"
Christian Register.


There are inscrutable mysteries in the
human mind. No Jew can reveal himself
wholly to a Christian. even if he tries.
No western white man can ever under
stand an oriental. A Chinaman or a
Hindu cannot open his heart so fully that
an Anglo-Saxon can read its secrets
Who knows what lay in the mind of Dis
raeli? There are forty nationalities in
Europe, which every now and then assert
themselves in unexpected ways. Breton
with Breton. Magyar with Magyar, Pole
with Pole, Finn with Finn and Dane with
Dane have means of intercommunication
which are instructive. unspoken. They
talk to other men without fully under
standing them, and they understand each
other without talking at all. The civiliza-
tion and polish which rubs down all these
differences and conceals them under var
nish and veneer is artificial and will not
last. All these peculiarities are of value,
They will come to their best by devel-
opment and not by repression by growth
and not by polish. by the processes of
freedom and not by any rule of authority.
A beautiful and dramatic ordering of hu-
man society will follow the abolishing
of military rule, the cessation of war and
the relaxation of the bonds of arbitrary
power, because then the true grain of
human nature will show itself in many
noble and beautiful ways

NEWS OF BOOK WORLD
The Work Of the Reviewer from the
Authors standpoInt-RIchard lie Gall
iIenne's English Version of Hafiz-
More OF the Autumn's Books.
What. writer's of books think Of book

reviewers is a question The Bookman has
been trying to solve by asking these
questions:
e Do reviewers understand the underlying mean
Ing of your books? Do the majority Of them
write as tho they had read the book? Are
their criticisms well founded? How do news
paper reviews compare with the reviews in
literary magazines? Do you not often find that,
In order to cover up their lack of knowledge
about the story, reviewers pick out certain pas
tant bemishes?
James Lane Allen, in answer to these
queries, says: Some of the best-much
the best-criticism is to be found in the
newspapers Of the country" Owen Wis
ter thinks that 'now and then word
Of value is uttered" F. Marion Crawford
says: II may honestly say that the criti-
cisms which I read, and which certainly
belong to the highest class Of such work,
are generally conscientious and often
acute" Charles Major says: Review
ers, I believe, as rule, are honest, and
honesty, after all, 1eaveneth the whole
lump. Other comments are not so com.
plimentary, but such testimony is reward
In way. for a large amount of hard
work.
A question which might have been
asked more directly is: Do newspaper
reviewers usually place fair valuations
upon your work? Perhaps modesty would
have prevented frank answers. But
after all, that is the real meat of the
matter Are reviewers fairly discriminat-
ing in their effort to point out what is
worth reading, or If they do not attempt
to do so much, are they discriminating
enough in selecting facts about and ex-
tracts from books in order to give readers
| fair samples Of what may be expected
in the reading of the books themselves?

Tammany's Victory.

To the country at large the munich
pal election in New York yesterday
was the only one of great interest.
Good and bad citizens everywhere
We're watching the contest between
nouncement of Tammany's decisive
victory there will be a sadness among
the good citizens and rejoicing among
the grafters, the bribers, the criminal
and the vicious.
Tammany's victory is profoundly
disappointing.
1t is a terrible discourag cement to
the friends Of good government. It
will incline them to say: What is the
use of all our efforts? Always the old
enemy returns, always the people vote
to restore bad men and evil organiza-t
tions to power. Reform in mu-
nicipal government is as hopeless as
the task of Sisiphus. After we give
the people good government and re-
deem our pledges, they deliberately
vote to re-establish the government of
vice, crime, graft, corruption and
inefficiency."
1t is not only that good government
suffers in New York by this victory of
Tammany--it suffers everywhere. In
Minneapolis, in ST. Louis, in Milwau-
kee, in Chicago, the men who have
sacrificed time and selfish interests to
promote the public veal will be dis
couraged and their enemies will be en-
couraged.
New York, we fear is at heart a
Tammany town. It's rejection of
Ta1hmany was abnormal, and perhaps
every future rejection of the tiger will
be equally abnormal. We must. regard
the normal condition of things in New
Y York as the domination Of Tammany
The deplorable fact is that the ma
jority of New York citizens prefer the
kind of government Tammany gives
the government of privileges, CRAFTS,
alliance with vice. New York does
not want honest government. 1t
wants a passable appearance of effect
i've government allied with freedom
for vice and a chance for the good fell
Ilows to make something without earn
ing it.
New York is different from other
American cities. It is the play city
of the continent. Men go there
either as visitors or permanent
residents to escape the restraints inn
Iposed on their personal conduct
elsewhere. They want the city to be a
little more vicious than other
cities. The natives like to think of
themselves as residents Of city that
is more or less Abandoned. And
Tammany knows how to give New
York what it wants. Occasionally
it gives the city too much; then
! there is a temporary reaction.
The city that doesn't appreciate
what the Low administration has
done for it, deserves nothing better
than what it has got. In it's present
stage of civilization, or, rather, bar
barism, New York is not worthy of a
better government than Tammany,
the very incarnation of political de-
pravity, will give it. 1t is idle to talk
about possibilities Of good government
! under Mcclellan, for Murphy will be
the real mayor Of New York. 1t is a
waste of time to speculate as to what
kind Of government Tammany will
give. It has only one kind Poor

Indians who hunt in disregard of
game laws. They should be handled
carefully and gently. We suspect that
If the poachers had been white men,
there would have been no battle. The
chances are that the old frontier
hatred of the Indian asserted itself in
this bloody affair. i,
The Indian no longer goes on the
warpath, but like other groups of our
independent people he sometimes re-
sists the law with force. The Wyoming
affair is comparable to the trouble at
Leech lake few years ago. In nei-
ther case was the conflict between In
dams and white men as such, but be-
tween white men as representatives
of an obnoxious law and the Indians
as the victims Of It.
Because a Carlisle school graduate
led the Wyoming poachers we shall
hear much about the folly of edu-
eating the Indian. It proves nothing
Of the, sort. Education never insures
good character or guarantees good
Judgment. This graduate is described
as natural leader. Sent back to the
reservation, he naturally looked at af-
fairs from the standpoint of his peo-
pie. He objected to the Wyoming
game laws as strongly as they did, and
like many other educated men before
him he made the mistake of resisting
enforcement Of the law. His mistake
| no more proves that education of the
Indian is a failure than the fact that
| there are white college graduates In
prison proves that college education
is a failure.

Oahu has gone republican. Oahu!
Good Government Rejected.

1t is as discouraging as the result Of
the election in New York city itself to
see such a paper as the st. Paul Globe
applauding the Tammany victory in
New York and speaking Of it as a
rebuke to the Pharisee and the hypo-
critic.
Evidently the Globe regards advo-
Gates and givers of good government
as hypocrites and Pharisees, and es-
teens the unspeakable Tammany as a
fit body to rebuke them.
Here is a fine demonstration Of the
folly of too much partizanship. The
Globe cares nothing about good gov
ernment in New York, because it is
democratic. 1t wants a so-ca1led
democratic government in New York,
if it be the government of the devil
himself.
The Globe to the contrary notwith-
standing, good government was on
trial in New York, and thru the lead
ership of Tammany the people of that
city have declared. against good gov
Fernment. Yet the Globe sees in Tam
many's victory good omens for the
democratic party. Is there, then, no
distinction between Tammany and de-
mocracy? We do not think the case
is quite so bad for the party.
There were many good democrats, like
Hugh Mclaughlin, both in and out of
New York, who hoped to see .Tammany
beaten yesterday. They know Tam
many for what it is, an unprincipled
local political organization bound to-
sgether by the cohesive force of pub
lie plunder."
The Globe knows it in that way, too.
What's the matter with the Globe 2?

A Mistake.

The whole city must suffer by reason
of the narrowmindedness Of a few
north-end members of the park board.
But for their contracted view of things
Mr.. c. M. Loring might again be a
member of the park board and the
city might have the benefit Of his SUI
perior knowledge of park affairs.
Minneapolis owes a great deal to
Mr.. Loring. He was the original park
enthusiast in this city, and in accord
ance with his ideas the city adopted
the wise policy of obtaining early in
it's history, and while property was
cheap. large areas for park purposes.
Owing mainly to Mr.. Loring's far
sightedness in this particular, Mime
apolis has been saved the enormous
expense incurred by some of our sis
ter cities who awoke too late to the
fact that they had forgotten to provide
breathing places when they were small
and must now do so at tremendous
cost. Kansas City a few years ago
paid nearly as much for one park,
about half as big as Loring, as all our
park surface has cost US. But Kansas
City had no G. M. Loring twenty years
ago to suggest and insist upon doing
the right thing at the right time: Min
neapolis needs Mr.. Loring's advice and
help now just as much as it did then,
and is indebted to the gentlemen re-
ferred to for the fact that she cannot
have it. The failure to elect him sig
nifieS nothing to Mr. T.orinr b1,t i+
means good deal to the city at large.
