time as candidate for mayor. having been
three times elected. The republicans are
more confident of beating him than for
some years, so much so that it Is reported
they have wagered larger sums on Stewart,
their candidate, than have ever before been
staked in Chicago municipal election.
In Baltimore the interest centers chiefly
upon the fact that today's balloting will
be the first under the new primary election
law. The people are to nominate their
party candidates directly, without recourse
to a convention. Four democratic and two
republican candidates for the mayoralty
nomination are in the field. the fight be-
tween the former being exceptionally sharp.
Mayor Hayes. ex-Mayor Latrobe and two
other men are .contending for democratic
votes. If this election progresses without a
hitch and without the faint of fraud and
leads to nominations which serve all the
legitimate purposes of party organization
there Is good reason to expect that the law
authorizing 1t will be copied in other COM
munities. to the end Of eliminating the mu-
nicipal convention as a discredited part of
the election machinery

Only One Unpopular Note.

Thus far in his speechmakin progress
through the northwest President Roosevelt
has uttered only one note in discord with
the sentiment of the region through which
he is touring and out of harmony with his
own past statements. This is his tariff
address at Madison in which there is little
sign of advocacy of that degree of revision
for which the middle western and north
western states now stand so strongly. IN
less subsequent utterances bring him more
closely in line with the views which he has
already expressed on this subject, the Mad
fson, address will be construed as serving
notice that he is shifting his position ON
the tariff. 1t is far from being as pro-
nounced in favor of judicious tariff revis-
ion as President McKinIeys last speech at
Buffalo.
But on the other subjects discussed Presi-
dent Roosevelt has stood squarely with his
immediate hearers. His talk on the Mon
roe doctrine and the need of a larger navy.
that on the position of the farmers, that on
the workingman. that on the Philippines
all have been in precise agreement with
the dominant thought Of the regions COW
cred by his tour. They are In fact, in ac-
cord with the prevailing national sentiment
today. He is uttering the voice of the peo-
pie In these addresses, and his failure to
strike popular chord In his tariff speech
ts therefore the more notable.

The Voting. Yesterday and Today.

Yesterdays minor elections brought no
surprises from any quarter. The political
status was in practically every instance
preserved 1t was day of reflections.
Mayors Fleischmann, Jones and Johnson
being accorded extensions of term in the
three principal cities of Ohio. Interest
centers chiefly. therefore. upon the question
of ma jorities and the causes which operated
for and against the candidates. Apart from
the defeat OF Ingalls, there is no positive
political significance whatever In these re-
suits. Mayor Johnson of Cleveland is not
especially strengthened as a state quantity
and certainly not as a national quantity
by his success yesterday. while Mayor Jones
of Toledo does not become larger In the big
political scales by reason of his triumph in
the local balloting Up in Michigan the
republicans held the state by a plurality as

might have given democratic victory with

swell" But this result. taken in conjunc-
ton with the Ohio municipal verdicts,
rather shows that the people generally in
those states are standing pat in their
party allegiances.
Today Chicago will elect a mayor and
Baltimore will nominate candidates for
mayor and other municipal offices. Neither
of these affairs will have any particular
bearing ON the national election in 1904.
The people at large are interested In the
Chicago balloting because of the fact that

or operator, say, $25. for the first offense,
$50 for the second offense. $50 for the third
offense and for the fourth offense ruled on
the streets Of Washington forever. An
owner who was fined once or twice would
be very careful about risking a third or
fourth violation. which would render his
large investment utterly useless in this city.
To be sure, he could perhaps sell his machine
into another city, and buy new one. but
II the regulations were properly drawn he
would find 1t difficult, If not impossible. to
secure license to run even new machine.
There would need to be only one or two in
stances Of such condemnations before the
lesson would be learned by the local motor
owners.
Until some such drastic and yet altogeth-
er reasonable ordinance is adopted. the
streets will remain unsafe for pedestrians
and even for the users Of horse vehicles.

Exit Mr.. Ingalls,.

just mark off the ingalls, presidential
boom. It was blighted at Cincinnati yes
terday. It depended on the strength that
Mr.. ingalls, should show in the mayoralty
race and ne showed no strength at ALL His
fellow citizens declined by very large ma
jority to call him to the post Of honor. We
may safely suppose. therefore, that the
duties of railroad president. 50 long and
so successfully discharged by him. will
continue to occupy the attention of that
distinguished man.
What operated to bring about this re-
suit? WE'LL for one thing. maybe the city
was not as much IN need Of a house clean
ing as some people imagined. Maybe the
reformers overstated their case. Maybe
there was a rally to the city's defense
against the severe descriptions Of the local
conditions. Mayor F1eischmann is a good
man. and he pitched his campaign for re-
election in the key Of home pride. He had
done his best. he said, and the city was in
good shape. He was able to quote Mr.. In
gals himself as indorsing only few
months ago the administration of the city's
affairs.
For another thing. maybe the ingalls,
presidential boom injured the ingalls,
mayoralty race. 1t Is very likely. A good
be able to do for himself with the aid of a
triumph. AS some saw the opportunity, he
would become at once a strong quantity in
the gubernatorial problem, and If successful
in that. he would then become a presiden-
tial quantity. The career of Mr.. Cleveland
was cited. Maybe those republicans who
were not altogether satisfied with their
party's local leadership. and upon propo-
stion simply to correct that would have
voted against their party in this race, de-
cided upon reflection not to assist In pro-
noting the political purposes OF Mr.. In
gals in state and national affairs. And
maybe there were democrats who. with no
reason to object to Mr.. Ingalls, purely
local quantity, had other preferences in
larger matters and decided to take no
chances.
At any rate, Mr.. Ingalls, was defeated
yesterday by a very large majority in a
very heavy poll. There is no mistaking the
decision. or the effect upon all Of the cal
culatons that were based upon the hoped
for running qualities of that gentleman.
He must be scratched for the gubernator
race this year and the presidential race
next year, and those who had picked
him for winner will have to lay their
money on some other horse. With not
speed enough to win in quarter race, he
will not do either for the mile distance or
for the derby

Mr.. Bryan Coming East.

Hard upon the heels of the denial of the
report that Mr.. Cleveland would make a
western tour comes the report that Mr..
Bryan will soon make another eastern tour.
AS the story goes. he will speak in New
York. New Jersey, Connecticut. Massa chu-
sets, Rhode Island and Maryland. Politics
will be his topic, and as he recently urged
the democrats of Iowa to become agrees
sive on the subject OF the Kansas City
platform. he will probably repeat the advice
to the democrats Of these other states But
how will they receive it? How will the
friends of Mr.. German, for instance, relish
having Mr.. Bryan on the stump in Mary
land at this time swatting their chief be-
tween the eyes on the subject of what is
and what is not democracy? We are hav-
ing an early spring. and Mr.. Bryan seems
bent on making it also a lively one.

Chinese Editors.
From the Shanghai Mercury.

tnG SnungnHI
1t is to be deplored that a considerable
section of the native press Is, either for the
purpose of gaining favor with the cOnserva-
tive party. or on account of the anti-foreign
spirit of the editors. printing articles which.
to put it mildly, are not calculated to make
for harmony between natives and foreign
ers. When one re-reads the articles printed
toward the close of the Boxer trouble, and
compares them with some Of recent date,
one can only conclude that evil influences
have been at work. The earlier articles
were Of most progressive character, while
the recent ones were, many of them, retro
grade, in the extreme.

A Hopeful Sign in Politics.
From the st. Louis Republic.

From the st. Louis Republic.
The fact that the cry against corrupt Of
ficials is the dominant note In municipal
campaigns is a most encouraging sign. The
fact that malfeasance in municipal offices
is made an issue at all disproves to some
extent the charge that apathy prevails in
cities. 1t IS perhaps too much to expect
that the degree of interest now manifested
will have more than a remote influence
upon the coming national election, but 1t is
wholly reasonable to predict that within a
very few years the general civic awakening
will make of reform a first issue before the
nation. which will result in a wholesome
overhauing Of our entire political system.
In the interim the failures-rather than
successes-of cities, which will deepen popu-
lar concern. will react to promote the great
end
