of loot the mayor could do no less than
explode the whole works and this he
proceeded to do. Philadelphia is build
ing a great filtration plant and here Is
where the ganp has been raking off its
big money. Every man in the machine
has had his hand in the treasury. The
graft has been immense from Durham g
millions in fraudulent contracts down
to the petty politician IS friends on the
payroll who never worked. How was
it doneq The council of course was
subservient to the bosses and lot of
the aldermen were silent partners In
the contracts. But there was another
man who had to be reached. This man
was the chief engineer of the works. 1t
is tribute to the power Of political
combination that the machine did reach
this man and ufxo him. He drew
$4,000 a year from the city for the
honest performance Of his duties and
then sold out to the gang for great
deal more, His payrolls are padded
and his returns are falsifed, his whole
administration of this great trust is
found to be corroded with graft. The
mayor has thrown him from his pedes-
tai; he is charged with forgery and the
gang is on once more in state bor-
dering on panic.
These are some Of the big things
Mayor Weaver has accomplished for
Philadelphia. Among the smaller
achievements have been the purging of
the city payrolls Of the names Of un'
necessary employees by the dozen and
the relieving Of the taxpayers of a
burden of $4,000 salaries which were
purely graft.
The Philadelphia machine seems to
have been a particularly mean and con
temptible one, and it's fall was indeed

SOUTH SIDERS PROTEST
They Object Strenuously to outgrowr
Nickname of Certain District.

Business men and residents of the
neighborhood centering at Twenty
sixth avenue S and Twenty-ffth street
will register heavy protest against the
use of a nickname for that section of
the city. Any cause which may have
existed for the appellation was re-
moved years ago, it is said with some
vigor by the business men, and they pro-
pose to take steps to do away with use
of the expressive name.
1t was determined last night at
preliminary meeting held in the store
of 0. P. Flaten, 2S14 East Twenty-sixth
street, that the best procedure would
be to arouse public sentiment for a
campaign which is to be inaugurated
To that end committee was appointed
to arrange for a mass meeting July %
at Monitor hall, Twenty-seventh ave-
nue. s and Twenty-ffth street.
The mayor will be invited to attend
as well as newspaper editors. The in
vitation will be extended also to men
and women of the neighborhood, and as
wei to the citizens of other sections
of the city.
Arrangements are in the hands Of
| G. J. Guddal. George Castle and Martin
McIIale. They will prepare program
and a set of resolutions for adoption.
1t is expected that the attendance at
/ this 6 forget it meeting will tax the
! capacity of the hall.

7 want to impress upon you the
Importance of this statement: If
an advertiser is convinced that the
readers Of paper have every con-
fdence in it, he feels certain that
he will get results from its circula-
ton. An advertiser studies circu-
latton carefully, and the circula-
ton manager should always bear
in mind this fact when building
circulation. II is the circulation
that brings the advertiser the best
returns that builds paper. This
is the most important phase of
circulation. If the subscribers
have confidence in the paper, the
advertisers feel that they will
have confidence in the advertising.
The circulation manager should
insist that he be able to deliver
clean goods and honest goods. By
the delivery of clean goods, r mean
clean papers containing only all the
news and advertising fit to print.

CITY NEWS
LESSON IN THIS FLOOD
CITY ENGINEER SAYS IT PROVES
DIVERSION OF BASSETT's
CREEK WOULD BE INADvIs-
ABLE.

Andrew Rinker, city engineer, has
made another examination of Cedar
lake and the country surrounding it,
and is more discouraged than ever
with. his task of devising plan of
turning Bassett IS creek into Cedar lake
and thence to the chain of lakes in
the park system. He believes that the
project is rot feasible except at a
greater expenditure than is warranted
by the possible benefits.
The advocates of the plan have ar
gued, said Mr.. Rinker today, s'that
Cedar lake could be used as a sort of
reservoir and could stand four-foot
rise without damage. This may have
been true when the statement was made,
but the lake is bank full now and could
not take any more water. The condi-
lions are due entirely to natural causes.
Surprising Cedar lake were four feet
above it's normal level and similar
food should come, what would then
happen9 In July, 1892, Medicine lake,
which feeds .Bassett'! s creek, rose eigh-
we do with such flood if Bassett IS
creek was diverted into Cedar lake?'

Norway and Sweden Part.

AS a result Of the sane and safe coun-
tells of the riksdag, King Oscar has as
Iumed more pacific attitude toward
Norway than he held at first. The con-
sequence is likely to be a peaceful, if
lot friendly, parting between the coun-~
!ries. Norway does not wish to con-
inue the union and Sweden does not
propose to attempt to maintain it by
!orce.
: Norway and Sweden were prospecting
IS a dual kingdom. It is to be hoped
hat they will do as we'll, if not better,
Is friends. They must be friends be-
Sause they have no present or actual
questions Of enmity. Friendship is very
becoming to these two great peoples
Who have contributed so much to the
irogress Of Europe. Enmity or war
letween them would be well-nigh I'M
hinkable
Whether Norway shall continue as a
dngdom or as republic is not i'm
prtant; if as kingdom with a mem
er of Oscars family on the throne,
here would be some advantages Of
uiance and the fostering Of the foreign
interests Of both from a common stand
@oint; if as republic, Norway would
how Europe an example Of the posi-
ilities of self-government. The tenn
er of the Norwegian people is equable,
ntient and firm. The people are well
dapted to republican forms and are
hturally democratic in their feelings
I The valuable lesson that these two
copies have taught the world is that of
Kcellent restraint in public under
revocation to excitement. Neither
,untry has been betrayed into any ex
ression which would accentuate the
Z slicacy Of the situation. Both have
attributed toward making a peaceful
I'd amicable solution possible, and now
lat it seems practically brought about
lere should be no time lost in making
y defensive alliance between the coun
6es which will insure the independence

First he vetoed the gas grab. This

reatened to pass it over his veto, he

70 great departments, and promising
kick out every machine man in the

But the gang was scotched, not

A Curious Thing.

What is to be thought Of the public
spirit Of an institution which will so
deliberately disregard public interest
as to defeat for purely private and
trivial ends, great common good9
Yesterday, T Journal told the
story of the necessity Of condemning
certain property in order to secure an
entrance from the center Of the CITY
direct into the new park known as "The
Parade.''
One Of the reasons why it has become
necessary to condemn this property and
provide for this entrance is the erection
Of an icehouse squarely across the di-
rect view from the main avenue lead
ing from the city toward the park.
Some time ago the demolition of GER
tain unsightly icehouses in that local.
ty was secured, and the city has been
at considerable expense preparing the
ground for park purposes. Just at this
stage Of the proceedings an ice compa-
ny proceeds to erect another unsightly
icehouse in more conspicuous place
than those previously removed. No
doubt the location of this icehouse
would have served the convenience of
the ice company, but it would have been
done at the sacrifice of the public inter
est. 1t would mar in large degree all
the work of the city in preparing this
new park.
It is curious thing that any bust.
ness interest should be so Indifferent
to it's public obligations, to those con-
siderations Of good neighborliness and
regard for the rights of others, as to be
capable of an offense like this. The
presumption and impudence with which
the ice companies take possession Of
our urban lakes in winter, befoul the
water and interfere with public winter
sports and generally conduct themselves
as if the lakes belonged to them has not
been calculated to remove that preiu
dice which, for some reason or other
exists in this community toward the
ice companies. Nor is this last offense
against decency and good taste likely
to contribute to that result.

THE LITTLE RED BAND

The Minneapolis Journal ever did In
its existence was when it founded
the newsboy band, taking the young
STEERS full Of the old Harry from

'em. 'Twasn't long before the discipline
had it's effect, and the toning down
process worked wonders, and made little
gentlemen out Of little street arabs. The
good work was continued and now see
the formation of another band composed
Of the older ones, who have shown an
aptitude for sue hwork, and I am told 1t
bids fair to rank high as a musical or
ganization. A glance at the makeup
shows a lot of good-looking, gentlemanly
fellows, who have grown we'll under the
care and attention Of that great news
paper-the Journal. It scattered q good
seed, and the return is agreeable to be-
hold. ...... a
