Chicago's Opportunity.

NJ AYOR dunno of Chicago appears to have
4 his object by an apparent
treat from it. He has invited the traction
panies of the city to unite upon plan to
struct their lines and then operate them upon
revocable license from the city. The latest report
from New York is that the traction line
impressed with the feasibility Of the suggestion and
have sent representative to Chicago to take up
the matter with the city. The council is in full
accord with the mayor for the first time i'll his ad-
ministration and the outlook for relief is better than
it has been for some time. "...>
It must not be supposed that Mayor Dunno has
given up public ownership. He does not propose to
give the companies definite franchise. He merely
proposes that they put their properties in shape so
that they will have something to sell and then await
the city's convenience in buying. This, however,
is a good proposition for the traction com
panies after the recent decision Of the SUI
preme court invalidating the ninety-nine- year
franchises because that decision left them nothing
to sell but useless fragments Of WORKOUT systems.
They have now a chance to rebuild with the assur-
that if the city does buy them out they will get
their money back. Meanwhile, by giving decent
service they maysso ingratiate themselves with the
people that the council will be inclined to give them
a definite license. r.

Not Drifting; Only Advancing.

Drank NJ. EDDY regrets being accused of social
istic tendencies, but says 1.-THE charge may be
something more than mere vaporing. To tell the
truth, we hardly know where we at and we
would like some one to furnish us diagram. 4
Mr.. Eddy then proceeds to give some examples
to show that the republican party IS adrift on an
uncharted sea. Bryan was denounced as a demo-
gogue for his criticism of the United States court

Toilette, in his recent Speech made more sweeping
and startling charges of corruption and extorhon
against railroads and corporations than Jerry Slmp
guilty of.
els it any wonder we are puzzled?'' asks Eddy.
els it strange that voters at sea? Who are the
conservatives in these days? What does the Grand
Old Party stand for today9 Who is authorized to
proclaim its principlesY'
We have been making some political history in
the last three four years In spite Of the efforts
of vested interests whose only wish is to 'et we'll
enough alone, the republican party has been adj
vancing its standard, The heralds of progress are
receiving the Endorsement Of the rank and file every
where. President Roosevelt is not the whole repub-
lican party, but he is it's most cherished leader.
The republicans of Wisconsin have shown what they
think of La Toilette four separate occasions and
the republicans Of Iowa are giving Cummins an
other Endorsement. Their brand of republicanism
to suit the individual voters, who the final
arbiters of public policy. The old fashioned type
of leaders who want only to stand still getting
run over by the procession. Progressive men are
not infallible, but the leaders mentioned moving
in the general direction to which the people are
looking. In their zeal they may go too far some
times, but their slips overlooked because they
are trying to bring about what the people want.

A Recanting Abolitionist.

Y + CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, the Massachu-
sets publicist who has just returned from At
RIGA, should wish to enter the for the presi-
dency did Of his ancestors, he might be the
first OF his name to start a popular boom IN the
south. Reason for this might be found in the fact
that. Mr.. Adams, who has been an abolitionist OF
the abotionists has recanted many Of his previous
opinions the negro question and stated position
which comedies very well with the policy adopted
by the southern states toward the black man. Look
ing about him among the Africans in Africa as Vol
ney viewed the Ruins and Macaulay's New Zea-
lander might have unused on London bridge, in the
attitude of philosopher, he says: 1.The scales
fell from my eyes, He found himself impressed
by realizing sense Of 'fthe appalling amount of
error and cant in which we Of the United States
have INDUCED on the topic Of the negro. bog Of
self-suffcien ignorance is the way he describes
that peucid lake Of inspiration and general phan-
thropy in which the New England reformer swan in
the slavery days.
Briefly, Mr.. Adams recants the opinion that the
negro had done anything because he had never
been given chance because he has seen him in his
own house, where he has been given chance where
there opportunities to note the differences be-
tween the negro's grasp at chances and the white
mans manner of going after success
Yet Mr.. Adams may have fallen into the opposite
Of forming his judgments too exclusively upon
the state Of the black man in Africa. Possibly the
negroes status there is more to be made cri-
terion than the Caucasian s progress the plains
of western Russia. Stimulation may be lacking.
Omdurman, which Mr.. Adams takes as type of At
rcan civilization, pretended to be the great
center, but it was the scene of very busy trade,
but after the defeat Of the Khalifa Addaah it was
deserted. With security population is returning
until today Omdurman has population of 60,0oo
about one-tenth of what it formerly had. It's build
ings are mainly one-storied mud huts, but our an.
cestors lived in worse houses before they reached
the sky-scraper. -
Mr.. Adams general conclusion is that after
emancipation the negro should have been dealt will
as ward or DEPENDENT firmly but in a spirit Of
kindness and justice. practically impossible as
policy, then,' he adds, 'tthis is not less so now
rather lame and impotent conclusion

National Grain Grades.

OVERNMENT inspection Of wheat has beenEagi-
- tated at various times for. several years. The
exporting sections of the country the districts
particularly interested in government inspection.
The Minnesota inspection answers all domestic con-
sumption, but such inspection is not always guar
antee Of grades beyond the limit of shipment with
out breaking bulk. T~a H -
Rollin E. Smith, who is visiting the grain mar
kets of Europe and studying the conditions of the
grain and flour trade in the principal markets Of
Europe, points out in his letter to he j Journal
today how America exporter Of wheat is suf-
fering from the failure to deliver wheat according
to grade To use his illustration, No. 2 northern
may be shipped, for example, from Duluth on the
order Of the exporter in Liverpool or other
European market No northern is loaded out Of
Duluth, but by the time it is loaded out Of Buffalo
it may be something else, and by the time it is
loaded out Of New York it may be of still different
grade, which appears to have been the experience
Of some European importers. The result is the
European buyer fails to receive the goods he ordered
and concludes that either America did not produce
,@it or that some one has svindled him. Either is
disastrous to the trade, and Mr. Smiths suggestion
OF remedy is government inspection With uniform
grades at all points, that individual lot Of
grain shipped from Minnesota of certain grade
under government Inspection will be shipped out Of
New York any other seaboard Of exactly the
same grade and delivered according to order.
So long as the United States continues to be an
exporter of wheat it is important that our grades
be maintained and that the reputation Of Our wheat
is supported in foreign markets The argument for
government inspection in view Of recent experience
detailed by this experienced grain man from his
observations in foreign markets. seems to leave
no question but that the only way to protect our
export trade is thru rigid system of government
Inspections which will make it impossible for middle
on the road to lower the grade and destroy the
reputation Of the product.

ONCE IN A WHILE

Once in a while the sun shines out
And the arehing skies are perfect blue:
Once in while, mid clouds of doubt
Faiths fairest stars come peeping thro:
Our paths lead down by the meadows fair.
Where the sweetest blossoms nod and smile.
And we lay aside our cross of care,
Once in a while.
Once lin a while within our own
We feel the hand of q steadfast friend:
Once in while we feel the tone
Of love, with the hearts own voice to blend:
And the dearest of all our dreams come true
And on life s way is golden smile,
Each thirsting flower is kissed with dew.
Once in while.

British Financiering.

MR. ASQUITH'S budget speech, as the re-
: = port of the receipts and expenditures OF the
British government is called, shows healthy state.
OF affairs IN some respects but not rosy in 9th
ers The country has a surplus for the year 1905
Of l7 100000 and prospective surplus for the fol-
lowing year Of $15,0OO,OOO This is satisfactory
from the administrative standpoint But on the
other hand there is consideration Of the enormous
debt of the empire. This now amounts to $3,944,-
100000, of which $278OOO0O0 is practically floating
debt These latter obligations short-time loans
raised to prosecute the Boer The chancellor
in referring to- them remarked that they hurt the
industry of the country, inasmuch being short
notes they must be cared for by the banks whereas
regular consols are ordinarily taken up by the
people.
The plans of the chancellor provide for reduc-
ton OF the tea and tobacco duties and the repeal
of the duty on coal. This will absorb some OF the
surplus The remainder is to be devoted to some
experiments in government half million going to
an improvement Of the postal service to farmers,
something like our free rural delivery
Mr. Asquith was also hopeful Of being able to
reduce the expenses Of the government next year
while maintaining its efficiency This Mr.. Balfour
reminded him was quite optimistic in view OF the
fact that social reforms cost money. The cabinet
has, for example, committed itself to the policy of
free meals to school children This item will not
break the empire, but it is significant Of tendency
which is the reverse Of Mr.. Asquith' policy. -.

The Quality of Friendship.

rs FRIENDSHIP among men what is used to be?
u Do men in the business and professional life Of
modern America realize all that is meant by the
old phrase fast friends?''
Judging by outward signs, -ey do not The cur
rent of urban activities bears all along so swiftly
that we lose many of the beauties OF leisure life
We have not time or the mind to dwell in com
munion with each others minds We know many
men, some better than others. Some we call friends,
but are they more than acquaintancesY Where do
we find between two such love as David bore to
Jonathan, such devotion as Damon gave to
Pythias? Where are two spirits knit like the souls
Of the searchers for truth, who used to walk in
academic groves? -.~ T.. ..> "=l.: 81.
There is no doubling the tendency Of the time.
Men meet in business in social way, know each
other for years, and call each other friends but
do they pour out their real thoughts hopes, disap
nontments to these friends? Not in the majority of
cases. and there lies the root of the whole matter.
The atmosphere Of business chokes sentiment, and
represses the natural flow Of confidence between
and man. Friends talk the gossip Of the day. They
discuss plays music, murders, disasters, do
who form chance acquaintance on street car.
Sentiment is tabooed The real mind and heart of
each remains closed book. They fail to reach a
footing Of confidence and full trust in each other.
It sometimes takes severe shock to make
realize this situation. When one has called
friend goes wrong, we wonder Why. In our
! knowledge of him nothing had ever betrayed the
fatal weakness. We understand too late, that we
did not really know him. Had known the fault
i it might have been helped.
Friendship Of the real sort pays, not always in
material prosperity but in the things that make for
happiness and upbuildng. A true friendship with
man Of moral fiber is a bulwark against tempta-
ton Communion Of two kindred minds is one Of
the highest of pleasures.
This streak of cold weather is quite apt to make
the street railway company think Of open cars.
