Mr.. sullivan's Prophecy.

The highly Hon. TIMOTHY D. SULLIVAN,
whose eminence as a master of the art
Of politics none may dispute, has looked
with a considerable degree Of care into
the merits and dement's Of municipal
ownership; and his decision is emphatic
ally in favor Of the proposition that
public utilities should be owned and
operated by the city government.
Mr.. SULLIVAN brushes aside as OF
little consequence such minor details
az the comparative costs Of operation
under public and private control, the
rights Of investors and the like. They
are OF small importance. The principal
question involved he answers thus:
with municipal control Of the street railways
Tammany Hall would be In power for $50 years."
When the chief Of all the Sullivans
speaks on question OF public policy
It Is time for all others to keep silent
and give an attentive ear He knows
what he is talking about. He sees, and
Is not afraid to tell, the real secret of
municipal ownership and operation.
He does not spend much time or effort
among the clouds in which dwell dunno
and JOHNSON and others OF their like.
He is a practical advocate Of municipal
ownership, for practical purpose. with
q practical end in view.
The Hon. TIMOTHY D. SULLIVAN has
contributed more pure wisdom in one
sentence to the discussion Of municipal
ownership than it's most pretentious
advocates have been able to- supply in
all their bulky outgivings.

Rural Schools Unable to Find Teachers

GENEVA, N. Y, Aug. 27.-The school

this year. All country districts are COM
planning from tho same cause. The &C
compliments demanded Of teachers have
been increased year by year until they
arc 20 high that many teachers who filed
positions In the country are barred out.
About the only teachers left are college
and normal graduates and graduates Of
teaohers' training olssses, who ON account
Of their special preparation and training
feel that they are entitled to better re-
Enumeration than Is paid In the country
districts.
Even II the teachers prepared In the
training CLASSES were willing to teach these
country. schools the supply from this source
would be Inadequate. The situation IL
likely to grow worse because under the
laws which soon 60 into effect the require
ments for teachen' certificates are moro
stringent than ever and the result, it u
feared, will Be the closing Of many rural
schools. In some districts means are
being provided to carry children from
the country districts into neighbortng vii
lagos to attend school the coming winter.

The Rise OF Beer.

Each year the report Of the Commits
sioner Of Internal Revenue bears witness
to the increasing popularity of malt
liquor a. beverage in tho United States
aud the coincident falling OF in the
amount of spirituous liquors consumed.
In the fiscal year ended with June
10, 459, 900 barrels Of beer were consumed,
an increase Of 1,251 900 barrels over the
previous twelvemonth. In the same
period the quantity OF distilled spirits
Withdrawn for consumption was l1e,l4S,-
600 gallons, or 7o4,OO0 gallons less than
in 10000. Beer has tho call, despite the
popularity OF 'long" drinks containing
an ounce or 80 of whisky to a tumbler
Of water A growing understanding Of
the dangers OF even moderate indul-
gence in hard liquor and an increasing
tendency on the part Of employers to
demand practical abstinence from drink
among their employees account for the
present demand for comparatively in
noouous drinks and the decrease in the
sales Of the more powerful stimulants.
A very large number of the wage
earners in America by the terms of their
contracts with their employers are bound
to abstain from hto1icants, keep out Of
saloons and lead lives OF temperance and
sobriety. This number is increasing an
nually as corporations realize the danger
involved in committing important tasks
to men with fuddled minds. COMPETE
ton carries on temperance crusade OF
its own, for the drinking man learns that
he Is not as valuable to his employer as
his non-drinking shopmate. When the
time comes to lay OF portion of the
working force the total abstainer "a not
the first to 60. His work may be done
no better than that OF the othsrs, but
he is moro dependable and thus moro
valuable to his employer.
Public drunkenness Is comparatively
rare in all the cities Of America to-day
among all classes of society JAMES
DALRYMPLE Of Glasgow, speaking of his
recent trip to this country, mentioned
the absence of drunken men from the
streets Of Chicago as something that
attracted his attention and reused his
admiration throughout his stay here.
The spectacle Of drunken workingman
is one rarely presented in any community
nowadays. 1t Is not necessary to bark
back to pre-Revolutionary times to find
time when dit .cnt conditions pre-
vailed. The fguN supplied by the
Internal Revenue Commissioner merely
confirm fact Of general observation.
Beer drives out hard drink. Moderation
and temperance are supplanting excess
In the use of liquors.

The automobile industry Of Italy appears
to have before it a prosperous future.
Owing to the many mountains railroad
building is costly and horse traction Is
slow and laborous. These drawbacks
favor motor traction. The Italian Govern
ment seems disposed to encourage public
automobile services as auxiliaries to the
now Government owned railways. The
success OF Italian motor boats and cars
in the recent racing compositions in France
has aroused general interest in the whole
subject Of automobiles. II would seem to
be worth the while Of American automo-
bile manufacturers to cultivate the Italian
field, especially as the general economic
revival In Italy has continued during the
last six months.

His greatest, his unforgetable war
service, although unfortunately I'M
served, was an expedition to which our
Philadelphia contemporary refers. with
a not unnatural e1aggeratlon. In the
Courier-J our1tal Of Jan. 8, 1877, Fl. w."
signed this order to the Democrats Of
Kentucky:
Let tho convention 70 DO assembled In Louis
Vile provide for tho presence OF at least 10000
unarmec KentuoIdans In this city tWashingtonl
on the coming fourteenth OF February. Less than
this would be OF NO avail So much. supplemented,
a. u will BIO. by other States, will secure through
OWL agencies q peaceful settlement OF the most
dangsrous issues that ever menaoed the existence
Of free government"
In Its editorial columns II said that
100000 freemen appearing at the seat
Of Government, each with petition
and remembrance In his hand, will be
an exhibition Of peaceful methods Of
popular government unequalled in all the
magnificent displays Of the world.
or course the talk OF peaceful settle
ment' and peaceful methods deceived
nobody. Colonel WATTERsoN proposed
to send an army Of 100000 men to Wash
ington. Their presence could have but
one purpose 1t would invite disorder
and begin civil war.
Ton days after the Colonel's call to
arms the Democrats held convention
at Louisville. They INDUCED in a set
Of resolutions, but they didn't raise
Kentucky army Of 10000, as directed
by the Colonel They refused to press
where his bright pen shone mid the
words OF war. The Colonel was in Wash
ington. waiting to become General and
lead that Democratic army. The army
couldn't be mobilized.
That unassembled army, that unfought
fight, that unchanged charge, that unwon
victory, they are the brightest pigments
Of the Colonels war-paint:
How can his glory fadei
o, the wild vhoops he madei.
But he asked for hundred thousand,
not q million, OF men. We have never
understood why he did 80. Why didn't
he, single handed, inaugurate T1LDEN,

Fantastic Politics Of q supposed
Friend Of Good Government.

The Hon. r. FULTON CUTTING, presi-
dent Of the Citizens Union, yearns to
nominate the Hon. WILLIAM TRAvERs
JEROME for Mayor OF New York. Such
trifle as asking for MIR. JEBoME's con-
sent doesn't bother Mr.. CUTTING. He
says placidly that I'VE could not expect
to have any reply from him Mr. JERoME],
as we have not asked him anything
Mr.. CUTTING knows perfectly we'll
that Mr.. JEROME Is not and will not be
a candidate for Mayor. He would make
a good Mayor. He may yet be elected
to that place. But the work which Is
cut out for him is in the District At
torney's Office. There is his opportu-
nifty. There are his ambitions. The
people OF New York want to keep him
there
The Citizens Union is supposed to be
a union Of citizens DESTROYS Of good
government. Mayor MCCLELLAN has
given the city good government. He
should receive the support Of the friends
OF good government. As District Attor-
ney Mr.. JEROME has done great and bril-
liant service to good government. He
wants to continue that service But from
the heights Of his wisdom the president
OF the Citizens Union labors for good
government by supporting neither
MCCLELLAN for Mayor nor JEROME for
District Attorney. MIR. MCCLELLAN has
been a capable and an honest Mayor;
therefore he should not be renom-
mated. Mr.. JEROME has been a cap
able and an honest District Attorney;
therefore he should not be renominated.
Mr.. JEROME will not be a candidate for
Mayor: therefore Mr.. CUTTING insists
that he shall be.
Mr. CUTTING is good enough to say:
what has been said by me and others
with respect to Mr.. JERoME and the
Mayoralty is only an expression Of
personal opinion. We Citizens Unionl
are not governed by bosses We hope
not, but it isn't Mr.. CUTTINGS fault.
