CIVIC ACTIVITIES

The Central Labor union of Boston has
complained to Mayor Fitzgerald that the
price OF $125 year for arc lamps now
paid the Edison Electric Illuminating
company is excessive and calls his at
tention to a clause in the contract with
the company which provides for arbi.
tration. The union really favors NUM-
c1pal plant which it claims would save
the city $4,000 a day.
philosophical citizens of e u Claire
Wis, have agreed to lend the city $780,
600 on non-liability bonds to aid in pur
chasing the water plant for the city. The
bonds will be a lien on the plant only.
Vienna appears to be good ground for
the propagation of paternalistic ideas in
government. Not only does the city
government run streetcars, but it op-
crates brewery, saloon, number OF
flower stores, a warehouse, stone quarry
and other enterprises Just now there
is a bill in parliament to regulate the
sale Of ready-made clothing. In tbs
interest of the custom tailors, dressmak-
ers and s11oemakers the bill prohibits
dealers in ready-made apparel of every
kind from doing repair work. The small
shops complain that their business is be-
ing ruined by the large department
stores.

Bryan's Blunders.

:, In indorsing Hearst Mr.. Bryan has
made another blunder quite as serious
as his Madison Square Garden speech.
He has been explaining that away ever
since till he is ready to say Of that un-
fortunate declaration that it was only
a suggestion thrown out to see how it
would take. His Endorsement Of Hearst
will cost him still more support from
the moderate division Of his party,
which had come to look upon him be-
fore he came home from Europe as the
leader Of the conservative democracy
against Hearst and all the radicalism
that he stands for. Bryan can never
ut-Hearst Hearst or be to the radicals
what Hearst is, and yet his indorse-
ment Of Hearst is sure to widen the
breach which has opened between him
and the better element of his party.
Six months ago his denomination for
the presidency seemed inevitable and
it was strongly felt. in republican cir
cles that nobody could beat him except
Roosevelt. Today he is not regarded
as probability as presidential can
didate and the republicans do, not fear
him in the least. The transformation
in so short time from being regarded
as well-nigh invincible to being almost
a negligible quantity is wonderful but
real,
