The clty Of stenehes.

From the Chicago Tribune
In enumerating the achievements Of
Chicago and cataloguing the items Of
its pro-eminence, a correspondent IN
another paper fails to speak Of its un-
disputed claim as the smell centre Of
the universe Chicago produces a great
er variety Of stenches in greater guam
tity in its justly famous stock yards
than any other city in the world. The
vaunted merits Of Cologne in this re-
spoct long ago paled their insignificant
Ares.
The officials OF the Bureau OF Health
have permitted the rendering estab-
lishments at the stock yards to belch
out foul gases at stated intervals dur
ing the day and night Indifferent TO
the public health or comfort. The own
ers OF managers have allowed noisome
odors 20 be poured forth. utterly re-
gardless of the rights and woll-being Of
their fellow-citlsens.
It is no longer possible to pretend that
either the health authorities or the
packers are ignorant Of the sources Of
the smells, or that they are powerless
to stop them. They know jointly and
severally when, whore, and how the Of
fensive odors are produced. They are
perfectly aware that the stenches can
be suppressed, and yet they deliberate
ly permit them to be emitted. They
are willing to drench and saturate
their fellow citizens with foul air soon
er than put themselves TO the incon-
vonience and expense OF stopping the
nuisance.

A FOOLISH SUGGESTION.

IT is said that the Democratic mem-
Il bers Of the General Assembly when
the time comes TO elect a enator pro-
pose to withdraw from the Joint ses-
sion and allow the Republicans to
manage the affair without them. They
say that II this results in the selection
Of an unfit man, the Republicans can
bear the blame, and that It may teach
them a useful lesson.
We have no doubt that the Republic
cans will be able to manage the affair
but it seems to us that by their with
drawal the Democrats would he dis
playing a petulance that would not be-
croditable.
Besides, to sit in joint session for
the purpose Of electing Senator is a
constitutional duty, and in their oath OF
office the members swear that they
win maintain the constitution. The
moment they became members OF the
General Assembly they have devolving
upon them all the duties Of legislators;
and one Of these dutuies is to partici-
pate in the election Of Senator
Then too, II they should remain out
of the Joint session and an unit man
should be chosen because OF their alb
lsence, they would justly be charge
with contributing to the result.

mo" But before deciding let us take
the testimony Of the spectators and
hear what the players have to say.
They tell us that there is no true
sport that does not involve some dan
ger to the participants; that physical
prowess is not to be despised and that
when the game calls for strength. skin
and an exercise of the higher mental
qualities It approaches the ideal Here
is a youth who has been coddled and
pampered, a little scratch calls for a
doctor. and any indisposition is viewed
with concern. He becomes a candidate
for the team, and II he succeeds he has
learned that thumps and bruises don't
count: all the seldshness is knocked out
Of him. The glory OF his college is his
glory. Sacrifice is the watohword; there
is no such thing as playing 70 the gall
ieries." The individual is a cog 50 the
machine and must subordinate his ef-
forts 20 the common result.
And while he learns his lesson his ex-
ample is teaching it TO others. There
Is less eneminacy in our colleges. less
ascetlcism than formerly. Healthy Wig
orous bodies and healthy vigorous
minds constitute the ideal Perhaps
college athletics may be given the
credit.

LIVING UP TO A CREED.

THE Christmas Century contains a
Il brief article appropriate to the
approaching holiday season. entitled;
Living Up to Christianity" The ex-
perience OF one man as therein related
IS doubtless the experience Of most peo-
pie. He declined the invitation to
change his religion because he had
never quite lived up TO II. He thought
that when he had exhausted its possi-
binties as working religion, then he
might make a change.
A great deal IS said these days I'm
disparasement Of creeds and dogmas,
often by persons who do not under
stand the nature OF either and un-
doubtedly there SIS a general tendency
10 insist more upon the spirit Of Chris
tianity than upon the uttorance Of par
ticular formulas or the observance OF
particular ceremonies. But after an
there must be creeds TO hold men to-
gether. and where there IS creed
there viii be more or less dogma.
So what the writer says about chang
ing a religion. and says pertinently,
may be applied to changing a creed.
When its possibilities OF spiritual ele-
walton and right living have been ex-
hausted there may be reason for
change.
Recently member OF the board o
extension Of one Of our churches wa
approached BY a friend who is a mem

Confessions Of a Boss.
8 New Yorlk press.

From the New York Press.
When a case-hardened old reprobate
like Colonel Butler. Of st. Louis, gets
enough political religion TO repent OF
his sins one must wonder how far OFF is
the millennium. It is plainly a case OF
the devil is sick, so the devil a saint
would be. Yet the force Of the moral
wave which has engulfed rescality In
St Louis may be measured by this
manifestation Of one OF the victims of
the Folk deluge. Colonel Butler "mak-
ing a clean breast Of it, was deemed
beyond the possibilities. His side was
thought to be too thick 70 feel the lash
OF public scorn, his conscience too
moribund to be awakened by any
sting. But this picturesque old crook
he is conscience-striclSen, and he dis
closes the main truths about the man
ner in which the people OF st. Louis
have been duped for the last thirty
years. In that period, the fallen boss
says, there have been only two honest
elections n s. Louis. All Democratic
Mayors but one. who was twice fairly
elected have been put into Office by
fraud. "St. Louis" says Boss But
/ Ter, lis Republican. with honest elec-
lions we lever could have elected a
Mayor save Joe Brown. Elections
have been stolen from the Republicans
OF this city for thirty years. and I have
decided 10 quit"
After a confession by Boss Butler Il
is hard to tell what next 10 expect in
politics. Will Senator Tilman show
how Democratic majorlties are con-
cocted IN his bailiwick? win Senator
Clark resign his seat owing to the
pricks Of his conscience? WIN Rich
ard Croker tell where he got t.? win
Tim Sullivan confess how the Tam
many majority in New York city was
kept abnormally high for so many
years?
