macadam. petition from property own
ers protesting against the use of this
class of material was presented. The
petition represented 1850 front feet abut-
ting on the avenue to be improved.
Alderman O'Neill of the Second ward
said that he had heard no protests against
the use of bituminous macadam from the
property owners along Fifth avenue from
Nineteenth to Twentieth street. Only
one block of the avenue, he said, was to
be paved in his ward.
Alderman Cooper of the Fifth ward said
that more than one-half of the property
owners favored the of bituminous
macadam. He expressed a hope that the
ordinance would be adopted.
Alderman Copeland, ]. r., of the Fourth
ward thought the property owners should
decide upon the class of material to be
used. Alderman Jones of the Eighth
ward said that a majority of the property
owners had signed a petition asking for
bituminous macadam.

ell as opposing the use of this material

land, j. b., and Stockmar voting in the
negative, the ordinance was placed upon
the second and third reading and final
adoption.
In explaining his vote, Alderman Stock
mar said the contractors who are now
laying bituminous macadam along GER
tain downtown streets are using crushed
limestone as a finish. Limestone is no
good for paving" said the alderman from
the Ninth ward.
Can you tell us, Mr. Stockmar. what
kind of stone was used in laying founda-
tons for the city hall?" asked Alderman
Jones'
Limestone was used" was his reply.
Thanks" said Alderman Jones.
THAT has nothing to do with it, any,
way" said Mr. Stockmar.
Upon motion of Alderman J. R. Copeland
a motion was adopted instructing the
mayor to appoint some one to call upon
the property owners along Fifth avenue

material they desired to be used.

the recommendation will be adopted and

SURPRISINGLY eEFoeeED.

A contemporary up the state which
pretends to write learnedly on all mat
tiers of state or national Importance
s%neeringly asks why Secretary Hay
should be so much interested in main
tanning the neutrality of China, adding
that if the Chinese want to help Japan
tits their own business" Considering
all that has been written and said on
the subject it is really astonishing
that a person should still be found in
the United States so densely ignor-
ant as not to be aware of the great
Importance it is to this nation that
the neutrality of China should be in
violate The editor of the newspaper
referred to alone may be able to fig
ure out how the trade of this country
with China may be kept intact and
increased after that empire shall have
been dismembered and divided among
the greedy nations now only awaiting
for a pretext to pounce upon it, but
certainly no one else can. This in
a measure may answer his question,
What in the world have we got to
do with the neutrality of Gilman"

comprehension and so lacking in or
binary common sense and perspica-
city as to make them blind to the in
jury they are doing their party by
permitting it's mouthpiece to be a
vehicle fer the expression of personal
hatred under the guise of political
hostility. Even those who for reasons
of politics are opposed to the candi-
dacy of Judge Loud are loudly con-
demning the foolhardiness of the men
who are permitting the outrage, and
their resentment is fast reaching the
stage where it will find expression in
support of the man whom it is sought
to injure. Regardless of politics the
average American loves fair play and
let him become convinced that un-
derhanded methods are used and that
under the pretense of political opposi-
tion character assassination is at
tempted, and he will be found against
those who make resort to such meth

A DEMOCRATIC TRIBUTE.

Although it now supports his OPP
ponent, the democratic New York
World is not blind to the many ex-
cellent qualities of Theodore Roose-
welt, and before his nomination was
not slow in acknowledging them.
Not many months ago it paid him the
following tribute:
sNo other man ever rose from po-
lice commissioner to president of the
United States in less than five years.
No other so vigorously and SO success
fully turned stumbling blocks into
stepping stones. Theodore Roosevelt
entered politics as as reformer as
soon as he left college, and made a
reputation at the very start for pub
lie spirit, honesty, combativeness and
unshakable physical and moral cour
age. He made enemies at every step,
and every enemy made him ten
friends.
"The boy assemblyman forced a hos
tile legislature to condemn it's, own po.
litical allies. The young civil service
commissioner boldly challenged the
national leaders of his party and COM
PEELED them to observe the law. The
police commissioner trampled ruth.
lessly over all p%rejudices of a metro
politan community, whether they
represented the vicious instincts of a
| criminal fraction or the innocent de-
sires of the liberty loving majority.
The assistant secretary of the navy
thrust a rude hand into the coils of
red tape that swathed the depart
ment and cleared the way for the COM
manders that smashed the fleets Of
| Spain. The governor of New York
accepted the hostility of the public
service corporations by signing the
Ford franchise bill.
"The president of the United States
challenged Wall street by forcing a
settlement of the anthracite
strike and ordering a dissolution of
the Northern Securities railroad mer-
ger. He sacrificed his popularity in
the south rather than shut the door
OF hope in the face OF the negro. He.
secured the partial fulfillment of our
pledge of Cuban reciprocity. He end
the half century period of talk about
the Panama canal and brought on a
period of action. He insisted on
probing the frauds of the postal SER
vice in the face of the anger of his
party leaders"

A very marked and pleasing diff
ference is appreciable between the
Anaconda Standard and the other
newspapers of it's political faith in the
state. In the opinion of the Stand
ard simply because a newspaper is
democratic in politics it need not
necessarily be dishonest and men,
dacious. For that reason it asks it's
democratic contemporaries to stay
with the facts, and denies that Con-
gresham Dixon was one of the men
who attended the banquet given at Chi
cago recently in honor of Governor
Peabody of Colorado. While it is
opposed politically to the gentleman
it believes in treating him fairly and
~courteously and requests that those
who are supporting 1t do likewise.
