Uhicapo's Indiff erence.

The Chicago Journal, which has waged
relentless war against I. M. O., sharply
rebukes the voters Of the windy city for
their neglect Of duty at the recent cleo
ton. The highest vote cast on any
proposition on the little ballot was 2Sl u
Ill. On the other hand there were
362, $50 voters registered last month.
The discrepancy between the registra-
tion and the vote was therefore IN
round numbers 10000 or about 50 per
cent Of the total constituency. 1t seems
rather incredible that 10000 men
should take the trouble to register in
tending to vote and then not to take the
trouble to cast their ballots, particular
ly in view of importance Of the election.
The referendum Of the people was to be
taken upon an Investment of $4,000
900 and on radical departure in the
business policy Of the corporation, and
yet one-third Of the stockholders de-
clined to record their Judgment upon
the matters involved.
This would under any circumstances
of the city truly deplorable. But I'M
der the present conditions in Chicago it
is amazing. The whole country has
been talking about Chicago and her Of
forts to get streetcar service.
The mayor Of Chicago has been in
vited north, east, south and west to de-
liver addresses on public ownership. The
Dalrymple incident had made the Chi
cago fight international in character.
The whole country has been deeply
stirred, andyet when the election is held
which is to settle the policy, the people
Of Chicago exhibit a remarkable degree
Of indifference to the whole issue.
One explanation offered is that the
people are deathly sick of the discussion
and no longer believe in Dunno. They
do not wish to 20 to the polls and vote
against him, but they have no faith in
his capacity to bring about city owner
ship. On the other hand they believe
that the city council will never let hin
do anything foolish, so they let matter.

Meanwhile the courts have put 8

The Hen Wins.

The Cambridge Oxford boatrace to-
day resulted in double victory. Not
only did Cambridge beat Oxford, but
the hen beat the steer as stimulator Of
muscular activity. This is bitter news,
indeed, in country whose roast beef
has been the special boast Of centuries.
But there seems no doubt that the hen
crossed the road, or rather the line,
first. Cambridge dieted on eggs and
Oxford fed on roast beef. Result, Cam.
bridge is first and wins two minutes
under last years time. ~ -.
The roast-beef people have started q
rumor that an Oxford man broke a
valve in his heart before the race and
that another had "bum'' leg which
he failed to indicate to the coach be-
fore the match. These excuses, how
ever, will not down with the egg peo
pie. They declare that there was just
as much chance for Cambridge MAI
to have heart with a dent in il
or hand-me-down leg. Why did none
Of these defects show in Cambridge
Eggs. Why did they show in Oxford

A departure from the Bible story that
seems unnecessary is that in which the
Canaanites are shown as wounded and
dying by the arrows Of the Israelites.
The question suggests itself: Did the
Israelites fight at Jericho with the Can
aanites before the walls fells Would it
not have been better to have followed
more closely the Biblical narrative,
showing the Israelites, with their priests
and ark Of the covenant, marching once
each day for six days and seven times
on the seventh day about the city, but
abstaining from fightingq A strange
siege that, one that must have caused
establishment and derision among the
heather Canaanites. DR.. Burton seems
in that not to have availed himself OF
most excellent dramatic material.
A minor blemish that CRATES on the
reader is the search of the Canaanites
for the Israelitish spies, heralding their
movements with trumpets. The sound
ing trumpet is desirable stage acces-
sorry but hardly suitable, it seems to
us, in situation of the kind alluded to
here.
