THE CHICAGO hETBACK.

The very lively city campaign in Chicago has come out in a way that will not encourage those who were the most lively, or at least, the most noisy, in it. Mayor Dunne was defeated, his Republican opponent having fifteen or twenty thousand more votes than he did. Mayor Dunne has been active and strenuous for municipal ownership and other things which may be called radi- 'cal His campaign posters catalogued the various popular developments of the past two years and declared that the outgoing mayor had brought about all of them. Mayor Dunne, we were told, reduced the price of gas, of electric light, of water and of telephone ser vice, etc., etc,
 But in spite of all this the people of Chicago declined to take Mir, Dunne again. Which indicates the fckleness of popular favor, or the improvement or popular judgment. The election at this distance looks like one of the straws which are showing that the wind isn't blowing as strongly in the direction of public ownership as it did. Mayor Dunne himself attributes his de- feat to the money power of the United States. The thinking power of the United States may have had some thing to do with 1t.

NOT THE BEST.

Everything made in Germany isn't the best. Germany's great naval ex- pert, Count Reventlow, has poor opin- ion of Germany's naval armament. According to this excellent authority, seventeen of the nations battleships are nothing better than floating cof- fms" being unseaworthy and obsolete He also unqualifiedly condemns a large number of the auxiliary war vessels. One Dreadnought, Count Reventlow asserts, could smash the whole collec- ton in short order. Germany began her naval building too soon, and as a result she has navy principally of obsolete ships. Great Britain had pre- ceded her, but Great Britain has re- tired and broken up her obsolete types and replaced them with modern sllips.
 The United States is in better shape navally than Germany, but it doesn't take long to get out of date in these rapid days We have the money and can keep up with the procession as well as any of them.

NOT ALwAYs IN THE CLOUDS.

Attorney Cromwell pointed out once upon time that MT. Hartman lived in a region into which little, common peo- pie might not enter. But it has been appearing lately that MT. Hartman hasn't lived in such a region all the time. For instance, it has just been as- serted at the White House that the real reason for MT. E. H. Harriman's inter- est in the election of the State ticket in New York in 1904 was that he desired to advance his own ambitions. It is as- serted that MT. Hartman wanted the position of senator now filled by MT. Depew and that this was the reason why he was anxious to have him ap- pointed ambassador to Paris.
 Quite human and quite ordinary. Per- haps when the whole truth is out we shall find that high financiers are not quite as high as MT. Cromwell said they were.

PROGRESS IN PROVIDENCE.

The application of educated and sci- entife forestry in this country is com }paratively new, but it Is making en- couraging progress. AS an indication of this it may be noted that bill will,
 by vote of the City council of Provi- denee, Rhode Island, be presented to the General Assembly which provides for a broader plan than is now in operlation for the municipal supervi- sion of the trees and shrubbery of Providence, as an important item of the public property. It proposes the appointment of a new city official, a forester, whose duty it shall be to pro- tect the trees from destruction by in- sects or otherwise, and generally to foster the growth now in existence

777--777777' - - - - SOME EASY SIVTSG.

It has long been realized that the Government of the United States paid too much for its printing And effort has lately been made to cut down the cost of this item. The governments printing bill, which amounted to little over $7,50O,0OO last year, will drop to about $5,5OO,OOO this year. and this in spite of the fact that a number of new bureaus have been established and several new laws, including the Immi- grafton law, the Pure Food law, and the Railroad Rate law, which entailed an enormous amount of printing, have al Printing Commission is working out plans for a still further reduction of the printing bill This Commission will sit in Washington from time to time during the summer and fall, and when Congress meets again will be prepared to recommend additional reform legis- lation.
 The big saving this year is traced di- rectly to the legislation of one year ago which made the office or depart ment which furnished the copy respon- sible for the cost of printing, As re- suit of this legislation many Govern ment publications have shrunk to one half the number of pages they former ly contained. So the simple device proved very effective, as simple devices sometimes do.

and to encourage a further develop ment throughout the city.
 In so far as trees on private estates may become injuriously affected, the city forester is given authority to cor rect the evil or destroy the trees, as circumstances may dictate. This same authority is extended to protect the streets from the obstruction of trees overhanging the public ways from pri vate grounds. And while attention is given to the planting and cultivation of new trees along the highways, or in the public breathing spaces, excepting the parks, which remain under the au- thority of the park commissioners, it win be part of the forester's duties to advise private owners regarding the kind of trees and shrubbery best suit ed to contribute to the adornment of a particular section. In connection With the planting of trees along the public ways arrangements may also be made by which. with the consent of abutting owners, private land may be furnished with trees to contribute to the general scheme of alornment.
 This bill ought to become a law, and it probably will. tt will b2 good thing for Providence, which is already a beautiful city, and will grow in beau- ty under this arrangement.

Glacier ice is now delivered to some of the larger consumers of Lyons and other cities of Europe. There are so many railroads in the Alps at present that 1t has been found profitable to gather this lee and transport 1t to the cities, where 1t Is preferred to other ice because of its hardness and lasting qualities. The ice Is blasted and mined ,in the same manner as stone is quar-. ried.

The soft, gray rain comes slowly down Settling the mists on marshes brown, Narrowing the world on wood and hill, Drifting the fog down vale and Till. The Weed-stalks bend with pearIy
 drops, The grasses hang then misty tons The clean leaves drip with tiny
 spheres, And fence rails run with pleasant
 tears.

This is better country to live in than Russia. A Russian journal tells the story of how the murderer of Gen. eral Lunnitz, Prefect of St. Petersburg
 obtained admission to the mi-official party at which the deed was commit ted. After the crime all the guests were detained and their tickets were examined. There was one ticket the rightful holder of which was not pres ent. It was no other than that of Pre- mier Stolypin himself. The murder had been committed under cover of the invitation ticket of no less a parsonage than the Prime Minister. The Premier had not been able to go, and his ticket fell into the hands of a member of the secret police named Nakolene. He re- sold it to the revolutionists for $16,OOO.

Mammoths in the Pecos Valley.

While loading gravel in the pit
southwest of Roswell a few days ago,
C. M. Davis and Mr.. Angel found
substantial proof that the mammoth,

of today, o1ce living in the Pecos Val
ley, fed on it's salt grass and drank
artesian water from North and South
Spring rivers. They found two well
preserved mammoth teeth, one weigh
ing IA pounds and tle other 81
pounds. They also found a mammoth's
tusk, about six feet in length and six
inches in diameter at the big end,
The tusk was badly decomposed, but
its shape and appearance were per-
fectly defined before it crumbled in
the air. The curios were turned over
to J. r. Engle, of Emporia, Kan, a
student of prehistoric topics, and af-
ter a thorough investigation he pro-
noulced the ivory to be from the
source to which it is credited.
