ChicagO'S Freight Tunnels.

The final perfecting of the colossal
system of freight tunnels under the
city of Chicago marks a new era in
the handling of a great public util-
ity and points the way for other
municipalities in the matter Of CON
venience and unobtrusiveness Of
commercial transportation.
These tunnels extend for more
than forty miles under the main
streets of the city. connecting all
the railroad freight depots with all
the leading business houses and
factories. Their immense value is
seen at once. They will deliver
goods consigned TO business houses
right in their premises and will car
ry away merchandise intended for
shipment from the very subbase-
ments with none of the upper-air
noise and confusion and without
numbering sidewalks with boxes and
crates The saving in horses, wagons
and teamsters will be very large.
For a city of cOngested streets.
like Boston OF Baltimore, nothing
could be of more practical value
than such "A work as this. Their
thoroughfares would be at least so
per cent less crowded and the whole
method of traffic vastly improved.
The constant streams of teams that
flow over the pavements all day long
would be known no more and the
people would be the gamers there
by.
If ever there was an undertaking
into which the municipality itself
might properly enter it is such a
one as this Cities build and lease
tunnels for the transportation of
human beings; why not for the car
rying of freight?

New York and Massachusetts.

If the Southern Democracy shan
decide. as is its won't, to take its
cue from the Northern Democracy
then indeed is the party of Jetfer-
son. jackson and Cleveland destined
10 a career Of unprecedented radi-
calism. The South is not naturally
radical. 1t has small liking for the
political economy which aims 10
widen the functions of government
and lessen the opportunities Of the
/ individual II does not take kindly
to Bryan the radical. though it was
devoted 20 the Bryan who, compar-
ed with his present self, was indeed
! a conservative. II has small fancy
for the regime of Hearst.
But what Is the South going to do
about il? The south cannot elect
Presidents 1t has been a loyal fol-
lower OF whateveg Northern Democ-
racy has seen fit TO dictate. II took
Parker on faith because the New
Workers. then in control said he was
the right man. 1t took Bryan twice.
1t furnished most Of the votes to
elect Cleveland twice, not because
il liked Cleveland, but because he
was available which means that
he promised to carry New York.
Now the Democracy of two great
Eastern States has gone ultra-radi-
cal, New York has its Hearst. and
Massachusetts has its Moran. The
Western Democracy is lined mp for
Alr. Bryan despite criticisms Of his
government ownership program.
Bryan, Hearst. Moran! How far
apart are they ON issues. in ideals? ?
Bryan is for Hearst. Hearst is for
Bryan, and Moran's convention
adopted the most extrayagant in
dorsements of both Bryan and
Hearst.
No, there Is no use denying that
Northern Democracy has gone ex-
IRENE. Il Is for the things that
these radical leaders represent. In
New York il was said that Hearst
bought or bulldozed the Democratic
convention INTO nominating him.
But i'm Massachusetts they cannot
say that Moran got his Endorsement
in any such fashion. And Massa-
chusetts usually inclines 10 he at
least as near the line of sanity as
any other community.
Moran's platform embraces a pro
gram. II says things. II is for gov
ernment railroads and municipal
ownership of city utilities. II wants
the popular primary and the refer
endum. 1t has the courage 10 name
