PRAYER Is Answered.

The Philadelphia North American
claims that the prayers of the good peo-
pie of the city for Mayor Weaver have
been answered. The ministers began
praying for the mayor over his sur
render to the vicious element. Their
prayers did not seem to be answered.
The mayor laughed at them and the
community, stepped in sodden subser-
vience to the vilest machine which ever
dominated a city, only sneered.
But what marvellous change has
come over Philadelphia! The plot to
grab the gasworks Of the city came
up. The plans were all laid for the
steal; the council was fixed and the
managers knew the day, the hour and
the minute when the crime would be
consummated.
The ordinance was introduced, given
a pretended reading and referred to q
committee. The committee met and
with anticipated promptness recon-
mended it for passage. The meeting
of the council at which it would be
finally passed was set.
Meanwhile, things were doing. The
press Of Philadelphia denounced the
scheme and showed that the city was
being gouged in a most brazen manner
The bosses shook with laughter. Bu
it happened that Mayor Weaver, whe1
a candidate for the office he now holds
had pledged himself against any plal
whereby the title to the gasworks shoult
pass from the city. Something had t
be done for the mayor; his situation
was too delicate.
i The bosses met and agreed to a plal
! whereby the mayor should take a pro
y longed vacation. In other words, h
was to run away and hide while tn
Esteal was perpetrated. He did star
