purpose before, but never to so great
an extent as at this time. Both parties
offer practically the same programme,
and neither of them is very definite as
to what they will do if favored by a
majority of the voters.
The fact is there are so many
men of so many different minds that
none have as yet been able to say "this
is the best" That the city needs some
relief in the way of transportation is
evident to any n who will but glnnce
at the streetcars in and out of the bust
ness district each morning and even
ing. During the rush hours there are
not more than one-half of those who
pay their five cent fare who are af-
forded a seat, and, even those who get.
seats are but little, if any better or
than those who are forced to stand,
fer they are troddenSunder foot by the
"strap-hangers."
The "Strap-Hangers' League" rep
resents the majority sentiment Of
seats enough for ALL" The majority
would rather have a seat for five cents
than a chance to stand up for three.
The business district of Chicago is
practically confined within the elevat-
ed loop, and is less than a mile square.
The congestion of the streets within
this district rivals Broadway, New
York. More surface ears are almost an
impossibility if wagon traffic is to be
continued. Either the street cars must
go underground Or the trucks and
wagons must go. One genius now pro-
poses to build a freight subway UNDER
ground. An electric freight line to run
in a subway and connecting the whole
sale and retail districts, and also the
wholesale districts with the different
freight depots. 1t is one of many
schemes that are proposed as a remedy
for present DIFFICULTIES.

way franchise fight is the crv for mn.

different. The socialist is no longer
confounded with the anarchist: a man
is no longer looked upon with scorn
for advocating ~socialistic principles.
There are but few of ever the more
pronounced adherents of the munici-
pal ownership plan who are awarethat
Chicago now owns and operates a mu-
nicipal railway. Yet such is the fact.
1t is a small, narrow-gauge affair op-
Grating on the sidewalks near Jack
son park. The tiny locomotives, not
much larger than good-sized toys, haul
dirt ears from the intercepting sewer
to the place where the earth is dumped.
Two trains are operated, andthe crews
consist of one man for each train.
A week or so ago a wag who was
familiar with the fact that the road
was operated by the city had annual
passes engraved, reading good on all
regular trains excepting Nos. 1 and 2
on the Chicago Municipal Railway"
and sent one to each member of the
state legislature. 1t is said that a
number of the Solons attempted to
use them. but had great difficulty in
locating the line, and when they had
done so found their passes were use
less, as the only two trains run were
numbered ore and two.

proposes it shall be done in the Hi
nois state prisons.
Chicago's Jail birds are manufacture
ing art. Chicago citizens are paying
for it at the sum that is represented
by the cost of maintenance of the city
prison under the new method of man
agement, and the old when the prison
labor contractors paid the bills.
How to make a statue in five les
sons" is a speciality at the Bridewell.
1t is a clay statue, to be sure, but
there are advantages in that, as clay
is not as enduring as bronze, and the
city will the sooner be able to rid
itself of the product of its prison ar
fists.
The city prison is filed from the city
police courts. Its population includes
plain DRINKS, disorderlies, wife beat
ers, petty thieves, pickpockets and the
general run of criminals to be found
in a metropolitan police court. 1t is
OF this class that Chicago is making
artists-modelers in clay. The same
class AVE in the past, and are yet to
some extent, modelling in clay to some
purpose by making brick. The brick,
IKE the new art statuary, are made
on the state account system, but find
mor ready market among the build
ers Of the city where they compete
with brick made by free labor. It is
lot expected that prison-made statu-
airy will compete with the local artists
who are working outside the prisons.
1t is probably for hat reason that

employment for the convicts.
