1.-THE attempt of Lyle and his back
ers to stampede all opponents o.
Thompsonism into going along with
them, by threatening those who would
not with the blame, should Thompson
win at the primary" according to the
Chicago Daily News, was a bold piece
Of topsy-turvy reasoning For notori-
ously it was their own conspicuous act
OF bad faith and bad Judgment which
made impossible a united stand against
Thompson's army of city pay-rollers and
their allies. The result of the primary
leaves the issue of the April election
precisely where 1t was before Judge
Lyle made his untimely leap into the
arena. That issue is the defeat of
Thompson and the overthrow of
Thompsonism. It must be pressed to
the right conclusion for the sake of the
good name of the city and in order that
honest and efficient administration Of
municipal affairs may be applied to
Chlcago's great and manifold needs.
thompson has been nominated by a
relatively small minority of the voters
OF his party. Now the voters of Chicago
have the power and the will to sweep
Thompson and Thompsonism out of the
path OF the city's progress The fight
from this time forward must proceed
un1tedly, in sincerity and In truth"
The one chance which Chicago
seems to have" in the opinion of the
Lexington Leader, lis that with the en-
try of DR.. H. N. Bundeson, Cook County
coroner, into the lists as an independent
candidate for mayor, the vote will be so
split that either he or the Democratic
candidate may win. 1t should be any,
thing to eliminate Thompson, but DR..
BundeSon would be by far the best Of
the three men for the position" The
Roanoke Times recognizes that "Dr.
Bundeson has proved himself a vote
getter of more than ordinary ability in
previous campaigns" and that ''proba-
bly, he is the ablest man in the race, a
circumstance which may or may not
appeal to Chicago voters as worthy of
their consideration"
Perhaps the outcome might have
been different if Judge Lyle had placed
his campaign on higher plane" thinks
the LOUISVILLE Cour.e Journal, while the
Akron Beacon-Journal points to the
failure OF the civic groups" and the
Buffalo Evening News sees as mot the
least deplorable feature of the situation

SHOOTING STARS.
BY pH1LANDER JOHNSON.

Amendments.
Amend the Constitution
We often hear the cry
Which shows no diminution
As years go rolling by.
When each amendments finished,
Let some one from the floor,
With ardor undiminished,
Move on to add some more.
And when it all seems truthful
And phrased exactly right,
1t may, like playthings youthful,
Seem far more tail than kite.

MT. HOOver's Economies.
Cincinnati Enuuirer)


 Facing an extraordinary budget deficit and a nationwide opposition to increased taxation the President has begun vigorous effort to reduce the expenditures of the Federal Government. Working closely with army officials he is seeking to cut the costs of the War Department by ten per cent with out mpairing it's efficiency in national defense This is a wholesome beginning. It should be carried through other departments at Washington, and then applied wherever possible among the States.
 The multiplicity of army posts is one example of costly inefficency However attractive cavalry school or infantry training camp may be to com- munity, there is point in distributing these posts throughout the country unless useful military pur pose is served By concentrating Federal troops into strategcaly important posts, gains can be made both in efficiency and economy.
 Unfortunately the Presidents eagerness to check expenditures is likely to go for naught unless the Congress is prepared to cooperate. And with the memory of the last session still fresh in mind, we can well be fearful of the foolish spending of the Congressman when they meet again.
 Already plans are laid to bring heavy pressure the legislators for vast outlays of public money. The American Legion has announced it will seek additional subsidies The big navy bloc is ready to demand a billion-dollar expansion of the fleet And other lesser groups less brazen It is im- perative that the Congress share the view of the President; and, failing that the veto club must be brought out, polished up and yielded never before

ENGLAND ADOPTS LAND TAX.

By a majority of 59 the British Parliament passed the Snowden land tax measure to become effective for the year 1882 It provides for tax of one penny on each pound sterling of land values about -tenths of one per cent
 If this new land goes into effect the tax will be levied on all the large estates and small farms as well as on urban property The man with hunt ing preserve and the man with little country home will contribute to the up-keep of the Gov ernment in proportion to his means.
 It is freely predicted that the tax will cause augmentation of the public parks. In other words many large estate owners will elect to share tnelr estates with the public rather than bear the extra taxes Many of them do that anyway disregard ing personal ownership. But all that is speculat- ion Chancellor Snowden hopes to get the treasure replenished so as to wipe out the deficit and the money will come from accumulated wealth rather than from taxes on industry and labor. About that there is speculation.

An Absurd Situation.
Vancouver. B. C.. Province,

(Vancouver B. C., Province)
 Some time ago. two Canadians, man and a woman, applied for naturalization American cit izens. One Miss Bland The other was pr. Douglas Macintosh, professor of theology at Yale. Both were people of high intelligence and excellent character, and their behavior had been Iof the best. Both had been living and working in the United States for years Both were willing to forswear their allegiance to the British King and transfer their featy to the Republic. But they baked at part of the oath they were required to take. Miss Bland who had nursed, during the war, and expressed her willingness to give similar service again, refused to promise to bear in defense of her country. Dr. Macintosh, who had served a chaplain with the Canadian forces overseas said he would not bear unless he believed the to be morally justified. Because the applicants would not take the oath prescribed naturalization was refused and appeals went up the line of courts until it finally reached the Supreme Court, which, divided five to four on Monday, re- jected the applications
 The spectacle of the nine judges of the most dgnified and distinguished court in the greatest of republics solemnly sitting absurdty, gravely dividing and rendering decision which, from practical point of view, was the most absurd thing in the absurd situation a very curious one. Mans propensity for tying himself up into legal knots which he can't unite is at once Imaginable and pathetic.
 From whichever side views the situation, there absurdity in it. The two applicants ap- pear to have assumed that they had right to III the country III Wnlcn they were earn ling living. But citizenship is not right. It is la privilege and the nation granting it is quite jus tifed in making the conditions and in making them as onerous and foolish it chooses If one wishes to be citizen one must accept these conditions, not contest them. The condition regarding mili- tary service not of course, made for such peo- lple Miss Bland and Dr. Macintosh. They could have accepted it because there wasn't chance in la million that it would have applied to them. The United States does not conscrpt women, and lDr. Macintosh is well past the military age. But they chose to interpret the oath in it's and refused to take the chance in million. That their absurdity
 Their consciences would not allow them to promise to do something they had intention of doing, though there possibility that lthey would be called upon to do it. That fact doubt indicated that they had qualifications for citizenship far above the average. But these very Qualifications shut them out Had they been care less about the things they promised and equally careless about the performance, there would have been difficulty about their naturalization. Uncle Sam has become "choosy" about his citizenship that he is shutting out the best, while accepting those plane decidedly lower. That is his ab- surdity
