eral styles shall appear will be inter-
esting so here goes:
Just look at Our map. Isn't it a
beautiful map2 Look at the trees on
IT, count them. and also the blades of
grass. We have provoked the ire OF
the Every Afternoon because we
lchampioned the rights Of the dear
people. the renl, plain, homely people,
the bewhiskered folks whom Lincoln
loved.
These people want to get TO the
park. YOU have no idea how much they
want TO get there. nor how often. II
they could only get to the park to en-
Joy the sunlight by day and the Otto
lGas by night their cup OF happiness
Would be fun. why we could write
four columns on this instead of one.
And according TO our map this troll
/ Icy line may be built sthrough and
larouud Rockford Park and not delace
llt "a particle. We are not saying that
/ t would be strung from balloons, but
/ lt wouldn't deface the park "a bit. and
/ Just how when or where II is TO be
built doesn't concern anybody but the
lplalnest sort Of plain people.
The people can get along without fiji
/ tered water: they don't need any more
paved streets. but they must have
their daily ride through the park or
there will be "a revolution. Beware. ye
ltyrants who drive the red devilsl
The Sunday Planet.
We have noticed % disposition Of
persons residing In this vicinity. re-
Gently to turn their attention from the
war IN the Far East to affairs Of pure
| ~ local concern, Notwithstanding that
thousands OF lives are daily being sac
rhoed IN Manchuria.
Not chat we mean TO critlcise our
own people Chat we never do) but we
really think that these occurrences
more remote have an interest that our
own affairs sometimes do not have.
Not that they are not interesting in
way TO foreigners. just as theirs are
interesting to us.
There has been some very earnest
discussion about trolley line I'm the
park but there Is hardly any occa-
sion for excitement or ill-feellng. We
state our position IN very positive
terms: If all the people OF Whining
ton want Il. there will not be the
slightest difficulty about it. III they
are opposed 10 It, then Il win not be
built And that position we mean TO
maintain TO the end
Perhaps It Is a matter OF individual
conscience. like religious belief. that
each man should decide for himself
Anyway in such matters people should
be charitable, and kindly. and refrain
from doing anything that anybody is
opposed TO-
Thus we believe that we have solv-
ed the question, and having taken our
position we mean TO maintain it.
The Morning Views
A man told US the other day piece
OF news which we propose to give our
readers in advance Of any other pub
lication. There may movement to
construct trolley lihe somewhere in
one Of our parks. possibly across the
Tenth street park, and possibly at
Eden Park.
Well parks are mighty nice things,
and trolley lines are nightly nice
things The trolley car is certainly
great invention. It was invented sew
eral years ago.
The Republic.
The brutal manner in which the
thugs Of this city have set to work to
destroy and carry away our beautiful
park should land number of these
dogs behind bars. The New York Even

! into sections and cart It off is truth
/ less vandalism" (see four columns
which we quote on the next pace)
/ President Cleveland laid down the
law In such matters when IN the cor
respondence with England regarding
/ Venezuela he declared that there shall
be no invasion of American territory.
This Is American territory, and an
invasion is contemplated.
What do these hrigands proposes ?
Nothing less than to gridiron our park
with trolley lines until Il win look like
rodd's Cut or the West Yards-and
not blade of grass will be left In the
beautiful park. because grass doesn't
grow on trolley tracks What win be-
come Of the great forest trees? Con-
lrerted into trolley poles. And the
death ratf viii swell amazingly. since
every crossing win find a victim on
the tracks waiting to be offered as a
sacrifice.
shall this outrage be permitted? BY
