Must Keep out Of Politics.

Kome, Jan. IL Especially -
Grand Duke Cyril. who is stopping
at San Reno for the benefit of his
health, which suffered from his ex-
perieuce in the Sinking of the Rus
sian battleship Petropaviovsk, at
Port Arthur. last April, has been in
terviewed by a newspaper regarding
the situation in Russia.
The grand duke said Emperor Nj
cholas was ready to make conces-
sions to the workmen there, but
learning that they had been insti-
gated to strike by elements iuim-
ical to the welfare of the empire
which sought to transform an eco
nomic agitation into political ques-
tion. he had been compelled to re
sort to severe measures in order to
impress upon the workmen that they
must not mix in politics.
The grand duke added that the
Italian hostility to Russia was due
to the fact that Emperor Nicholas
had not visited Rome.
Grand Duke Cyril said that Gen
eral Stoessel would be required to
render strict account of his defense
of Port Arthur, that upon the out
come will depend the generals flu
ture. The grand duke said further
that peace with Japan is not now to
be considered. When the Baltic
squadron appears in Japanese waters
and wns a decisive vicory, he said.
it will be soon enough to speak of
peace.

TOO MUCH ATHLETICS.
Tennis and Sprinting Induce Weakness OF

Professor James, OF the University OF Illinois,

vinced him that much evil has resulted from
college athletics.
College athletes, he finds bring by over
exertion a number of ills. of which the worst and
most common is weakness Of the heart, that. de-

tions. After the citys failure, these corpora

Here is another danger The start may be
made under honest administration and pro

there is all the time tendency-an increasing
tendency-for the service to run the city instead

If the city undertook to operate the street

one thousand city employees. Not only are most
of these employees voters, but it is safe to say

perpetuate a bad administration indefinitely.

OCEAN YACHT RACING.
Entra Sails Put on the Thistle by
CaptQin Tod.

It is generally conceded that all the world loves
a sportsman who goes in for any form of sport
not so much for intrinsic value of the prizes to
he won as for the pure love of the game, whatever
1t may be-for the sake OF excellng in and to ad-
vance the particular of sport he is engaged In
Few men have done much to advance the IN
terest of yachting, especially in the line of ocean
racing as has ex-Commodore Robert e. Tod of
the Atlantic Yacht Club. who recently sailed mis-
own schooner, the Thistle. from Sandy Hook TO
the Lizard in the for the German Emperor S
Cup.
Through his personal efforts. when he was COM
modore of the Atlantic Yacht Club, a few years
ago, he revived the spirit Of racing by Offer
ing cups for contests from Sea Gate to Nantucket
and Northeast End lghtships. and from Brenton's
Reef hghtship to Sandy Hook Lghtship and back
always entering his yacht. for the sake Of
sport, against boats that he knew full we'll would
be likely to defeat him. This he did just to en-
courage the others 1t was largely through his

rest again and swap stories until late In the

part Of the days practice. OF course, II the
mornings practice is as strenuous as that just

less light practice, and the reverse is also the
case.
So it goes in the main essentials with all the
college crews here. When the final meal OF

BETTER SERVICE, ANYWAY.

James Hamilton Lewis, who probably more
than any other one man is credited with having
accomplished the election of Judge Dunno diff
fers from both Republicans and Democrats as
to the proper meaning to be drawn from the
result of the election. He said:
The plurality of Judge Dunno was. approx
mately, 2o,OOO. I am not able to confirm the
nope that the election, the majority of votes,
indicates that the people of Chicago meant to
give a verdict in behalf of the establishment of
nun municlpaI ownership. ! am not able to say
how many there are of those who voted for
Judge Dunno who are opposed to this owner
ship, but 1 am safe IN saying that while a
splendid minority of this vote are 81 ncere en-
thusisasts for the adoption of municipal own

Added to this the defiant threat on the
part OF those who for fifty years had been en-

don't propose to mix them here and the system
will be a success
Asked for prophecy the working out of
the Chicago experiment Mayor Dunno became
enthusiastic:
Inside of ten years, If not less, the streetcar
certificates will be paid in full and the people,
then owning their plant. proceed to re-
duce fares to the lowest possible cost, has
been done in all of the great cities of England
and in many of the great cities OF Austria Hun
gary, Australia and Italy. Efficient service will
be rendered, economic changes will be made

Chicago
public corruption, at first feeble and unheeded
has swelled into roar whose reverberations are
heard in the council chambers of the land, as
we'll as in the temples of finance. Municipal
ownership would be an excellent thing for New
York, and I believe that the time will come when
the citizens of Gotham will make a struggle for
their rights along these lines"
New-York tribune., 1905-06-25

The idea that the Civil Service law could be
effectively applied to secure the proper persons
to carry on municipal ownership may be 1usti-
fed in some degree but law upon the statute
book is not self-enforcng, and it might be ex-
pected that it would be enforced only to degree
which the Mayor required. If a Mayor is self
seeking or corrupt he can use the Civil Service
Commission effectively to oet rid of persons in
the city service who may be unsatisfactory to
him. If the city employees become numerous
enough to dictate at the primary and at the
election who shall be Mayor, they also dictate,
in effect. what sort of Civil Service commission
ers shall be appointed. and what sort OF rules
CT evidence shall be applied in the retention of
their own set and the discharge of those who
are Objectionable to them.
Mr. Revell estimates that municipal owner
ship of the entire Chicago system would rep
resent an Investment of S690O0OOO With an
improved service, he declares that the city could
not hope to realize more than $5,O00OOO year.
He estimates that the interest sinking fund and
depreciation would amount to 10 per cent per
annum, or $6.900OO0 which is nearly So, 600 900
more than the prospective income. Therefore
he concludes that the city could not afford to
take chances of operating a traction system
from a business point of view.
