THE CHICAGO ELECTION.

The Daily Panhandle is sorry to
learn by telegraph reports today that
Mayor Dunno was defeated yester-
day, for reelection, in the city OF
Chicago.
For several years the eyes OF the
cities OF the country have been upon
Chicago, where the fight for NUM-
cipal ownership Of the street car com
panles has waged, with varying sue
cess Several times the question has
been fairly put to the voters, and
municipal ownership has been sue
cessful at the polls.
Mayor Dunno was first elected as
the champion OF this idea, and has
for several years borne the taunts
and jeers OF the corporation class
and their sympathizers in Chicago
and the entire country, for his manly
and telling Night for municipal own
ership.
We do not know, at this distance,
what mistakes Mayor Dunno may
have made In his recent administra-
lions, for 1t is hard to suit all as the
hoad OF n city with so many and
mrylag interests as Chicago Is, but
we do know that the corporation in
fluences have again succeeded in d.
vidlng the people OF that city, on tr-
vial issues, and caused the defeat OF
their dearest wish, municipal owner
ship OF public utilities, for in Mayor
DUNES defeat, that issue has re-
ceived backset which 1t will take
many years to overcome.
Mayor DUNES defeat will be de-
plored by advanced thinkers on pub
lie questions, in every city in the
United States. and the corporation
influences will again take heart.

mensely rich by their lll-gotten gains,
while the public has been compelled
to put up with any old service they
we're willing 10 give them, and the
men on the roads have worked all
kinds OF hours, without any increase
In their pay. or any division OF the
immense fortunes the railway mag
nate has squeezed from the general
public.
The people becoming tired OF the
arrogance OF tho railway boasos, 10

congress. have adopted more string.

begun TO sulk, at thus being checked,
or rather at any attempt being made

In order to realize bigger dividends
on their watered stock They have
asked for injunctlons restraining the
states from enforcing the &c fare
laws, and have given the interstate
commerce commission notice Of

ly high enough In this section at
least, now
Now the railroad bosses are at
lager heads with their employees, II
ia hoped the strike may be avoided,
In some means, as Il would be OF
untold injury TO the business Of the
country for the railroads TO come to
standstlll, at this time.
II is understood that the three
railroads entering Amarillo, would
be affected should the strike occur.
and business would he stagnated by
such a course. Should the railroad
bosses allow the strike to occur, Il
will be another great stride toward
government ownership. The rail-
roads are public highways. and
should not be permitted to stop,
from any cause. They have received
concessions for serving the public,
and they must continue to serve the
public, or the states and government
should step in, and take tho roads,
and operate them for the benefit of
all the people.
The outcome OF this great threat
ened strike, will be watched with
more than usual interest at this time,
by this section OF the country.

AND THE RAIN CAME.

For some time the citizens of this
locality, and especially new corners,
have been much exercised over the
continued dry weather, and in fact
it was looking little serious for
the sprouting of oats which were in
the ground. But all fears we're dis
PEELED last night when a fine shower
visited this locality. In some local
tiles about the city, two fine rains
fell DUNG the night, and today light
showers have fallen in the city and
nearby, and the indications are
that this locality will not want for
rain in the near future.
The old settlers have told us that
it was yet too early for the mols-
ture to fall, but to those of us who
come from northern states where
rain in the early spring means the
grass and hay crop, the appearances
were not bright for a good crop this
year.
This locality has had plenty of
rains for many seasons, and there
is little doubt there will be plenty
for the growing crops this season.

In a short time the marble works,

checking so effectively a fire which
for time looked as though It would
sweep the entire city to the north

The water service OF the water
