The spring campaign has now been fairly launched by tho Democrats, whose leaders are tlrst In the Held, their organization complete and their ranks dressed ready for the fray. Although tho offices to bo tilled at the election which Is now upon, us arc, comparatively speaking, In one sense at least, of minor Importance, yet tho Importance of tho election as a whole and tho necessity of victory for tho democratic party cannot bo overestimated. The morale of tho party In the tre mendous fall campaign, which will al most immediately succeed tho spring election, will be very largely affected by the result of tho latter. Already unfortunate conditions, prevalent all over tho world, and for which tho Democratic party is no moro responsible that It is for the threatened resignation of Mr. Glad stone, have had an injurious effect upon tho party, and the Republicans are making tho most they can out of tho moral effect of victories based up on misrepresentation and misunder standing, and buttressed by a con Junction of circumstances which can not continuo to exist for any consid erable length of time. Unfortunately, these conditions still prevail and cm not fall to have sumo etlect in the minds of the unthinking and tho unreasonable, as was tho case In tho late municipal elec tion. Should, therefore, the ap proachlng spring election go against the Democratic party tho effect on the fall election would, to sny the least, bo very injurious. Chicago, however, in tho midst of all the arti ficial panic und manufactured indus trial depression, has given evidence in the election of Mayor John F. Hop kins that she Is unshakably and un swervingly Democratic and loyal to tho coro to that party. "With the proper men at the helm of political affairs this city will always be Demo cratic. Tho party In Chicago is now cap tained as It never was before. It is united and solidified. Its executivo and other committees having mat ters of Importance to the party and its local campaigns in charge, is com posed of the ablest, cleanest and most fearless of Chicago Democrats. They are representative and satisfac tory in every respect. They have been recently chosen at one of tho most representative meetings of the party organization ever held in Chi cago, and were selected with practi cal unanimity. Tho Chief Executive of tho city, a Democrat elected on clear-cut party Issues by Democratic votes only, has given to Chicago the ablest, purest and most conscientious administra tion this city has ever had. It has won tho admiration of nil and added Incalculably to the strength of tho party In Chicago. The Hopkins ad ministration has won tho confidence and approbation of the community at largo, and demonstrated anew tho fact that Democratic government and the honest and economical con duct of public affairs are Inseparable and Identical. Thus, with a due appreciation of the gravity and importance of the impending struggle, with a confidence b egotten of past experience and past victories In its leaders, with the pres- Large! i ran DUDlisnea in Cliicago. tlge of victory in days of general do feat, If uotof disaster, ami sustained and vlndlcatciLby tho capable, hon est and economical administration of the present Pcmocratlc Chief Kxecu. tlve of the city, tho Democratic party faces the contest that Is now at hand with the assurance of victory and that tho success thus Rained will be but the forerunner of a greater and more far-reaching triumph no xt fall. CHANGING THE MOTIVE POWER. The Commlttco on Streets and Al leys South Wednesday considered various ordinances of the South Sldo company substituting electricity on the trolley plan for horses as the mo tive power along several of tho cross town streets which are operated by that corporation. These ordinances were introduced several months ago, but as one of them proposed to ope rate the trolley system on Clark street there was an outcry against It. That ordlnatico was dropped Wednesday. Another provided for the construction of a road to be operated cither by horse or electrical power on Olid street from State street to Cottage Grove avenue. Still another provided for a new line on Wallace street from Thirty-ninth to Hoot street. This also was to be run by horses or elec tricity at the option of thecomiany. The commlttco was in session about an hour, and finally disposed of tho measures. The Clark street ordinance was placed on fllo without debate, every one deeming It a bad measure. It was agreed to recommend tho Sixty-third street line, as Mr. Grin nell said tho property-owners wanted It and his company would help pay for tho Improvement of tho street. The Wallace street line was also recommended for passage. The general change of power ordinance caused considerable discussion. Among the lines stricken out were those relating to the erection of trol-ley-wlro poles along 31st nnd 20th streets, on Archer avenue, botween the river and State street, uud on Indiana avenue, north of 30th street. The ordinance as amended wns rec ommended for passage, tho life of tho franchise having been fixed at lOyears, except for Archer avenue, whero It is for five years. At tho last meeting of the Council tho ordinances were ordered deferred and published. Another ordinance which was pre sented for tho South Side Company ana wnicn was recommended was ono providing for n cable conduit on Twcnty-flrst street, between Stato nnd Wabash avenue, so that the Cottago Grove lino might bo better operated from tho Stato street power house. This was ordered deferred nnd published. THE COUNTY TREASURER OUT OF FUNDS. Cook County, according to a report from Treasurer Kern's office, is prac tically out of funds, and in all proba bility the Treasury will remain in this depleted condition two weeks, or until nfter March 10. This is a con dition which anuually confronts tho County Treasurer, and is due, it is claimed, to tho fact that the county retains no surplus funds. Conse quently at tho end of tho corporate year tho Treasury is practically empty and remains so until the Town Col lectors turn over tho moneys collect ed from taxes. Tho statutes require that tho Collectors turn over their funds not later than March 10 of each year, and usually the County Treas ury is empty two or three weeks be foro this time. There are thirty three of tho Town Collectors, but the bulk of the tax s collected by the South, North and West Town Collectors. This year they report col lections very light, and thus far have only paid Into tho County Treasury 7.'),000, 10,000, and 9:10,000, respec tively. This money has all been used in the payment of county hills. County Treasurer Kern said that in all probability tho paymont of salar ies and bills for supplies for February will not bo made before March 1- or 13, when the Collectors will have made their final payments as required by law. CITIZENS' MOVEMENTS. The Eagle has but little faith in "citizens' " movements of any kind, and in the so-called Civic Federation In particular. This organization is made up in part of a few wealthy nonentities who, falling to do nnythlng of note in public or prlvato life during their early days, are anxious, iow that they are In the soar and yellow leaf, to purchase a llttlo choap notorloty as "civic reformers;" and In part uf n number of political adventurers and adventuresses who have fed as long as tho people would tolerato them at tho public crib, and, being usoless hacks, have been cast off by tholr party. Tho organization was founded by an Insolent and impertinent for eigner who Is not oven a citizen of the United States and knows nothing of this country or Its affairs. Tiik Eagle does not wonder that tho per sons who, In tho main, constltuto tho "Civic Federation " should allow themselves to bo organized, bossed and guided by an alien and ex-Jail bird. Anything at nil that brings such persons before tho, public Is to them a God-send. Notoriety Is tho breath of their nostrils. Title Eagle Is much mistaken, however, If olthcr the Republican or Democratic party allows Itself to be influenced In any way by the advice or the attitude of this combination of Ignorance and money bags, fanatical faddists and political outcasts. They will certainly bo repudiated by nil Democratic wards und town ships, and it will bo a matter of sur prise if Republicans allow themselves to bo coddled nnd patronized by tho Civic Federation. It is very probablo that tho result of tho spring election will bo a warning to "reformers" of that class who have much money but little grammar, as well as to vain old people who neglect their home and buslno.s to coutt public adulation through the press, soured, because defeated, political candidates, not ublo to reach public officials and pub lic office, and political ghouls and Jackals of the character of one or two members of the Federation, that they must keep their noses out of other people's nffalrs, and remove tho moto from their own oyo before try ing to take the beau from that of their neighbor. OOOD-BY, STEAD. That impudent foreigner, Editor Stead, has migrated from this coun try, but has loft behind him a load of the peculiar brand of dirt of which his extra make-up is composed. Tho people of Chicago have hnd an infinite amount of patience with this Insolent, Ignorant and Intermeddling alien, no doubt tolerating him be cause believing him to be a well- meaning crank. For that reason her public men have allowed themselves to bo catechised, criticised and sneered at to their beards, they have permitted their wives and daughters to be grossly insulted to their faces, they have allowed themselves to bo twitted and gibed at on every con ceivable subject, and dictated to In regard to their own affairs. It Is a pity, however, that when Stead got tired abusing tho hospital ity and pntlcnco of the city of Chi cago, that when ho got weary of metaphorically tweaking tho tioso of his host, ho should, when leaving, have been allowed to leave after him nn Inodorous memory of himself. This Stead has done, however, in the shape of n publication which Is soon to mnko Its appearance, and which, if report speaks truly, is a libel on this city, and an outrngeous abuto of tho liberty of tho press. Tho stuff contained In this publication Is, If what has been said of It Is truo, a spoclcs of sacrilegious buffoonery, constituting a work which should bo, wherever found, taken with a tongs and put Into the fire. Will our good citizens wine, dine nnd fete this rufilauly Jatl-blrd Stead when ho revisits Chicago, as ho threatens to do, and will tho dally press glvo him whole pages of froo advertising? Thcso aro questions that puzzle quiet observers of passing events. JUDGES OF ELECTION. There is "much ado about nothing" In curtain quarters over tho selection and continuation of tho Judges and clerks of election by tho Board of Election Commissioners and County Court. If ono were to Judgo by tho howl that has been rniscd over this simple and legitimate proceeding ono would Imaglno that tho list was mado up of a lot of cutthroats nnd sandbaggers, and that It had been compiled In some secret recess of darkness, smug gled through tho board and the court In the dead of night, aud that thcro was no redress whatever left'. Tho facts are the names on this list wore supplied by the committeemen of both parties. Tho Election Com missioners passed upon them as soon as tho dilatory commlttemen turned them In. Tho court confirmed thorn in open court on tho very last day on which tho law allowed him so to do, and no one word of evidence has been offered against tho character of u sin gle man on tho list. Furthermore, It Is perfectly opjn at any time to any citizen to prefor charges against any of tho men named as officers of election, nnd to have, upon proof of tho same, the of fensive person removed therefrom. It Is dlttlcult therefore to figure out what all the hullabaloo Is really about. NO DEMOCRATIC FACTIONS. How much tho deeply Interested organs of Republicanism know of tho nlTalrs nnd conditions of tho Demo cratic party Is demonstrated by tho manner In which they dealt with tho meeting of tho Democratic Cen tral Commlttco last week. Previous to tho meeting It was gravely an nounced that thoro was blood on tljo moon, thattheie was to bo goro shed between tho two factions, that thoro was to bo a regular Kilkenny cat fight botween "tho followers of Mc Glllcn and Hopkins," and so forth. After tho meeting thoso proph ets of evil wore compelled to meekly chronicle tho fact that thcro were no factions, that there were no "followers of McGlllcn nnd Hopkins" as such, that McGlllcn nnd Hopkins, and tho friends of both gentlemen, were in accord on tho points under discussion, and that the committee was solidly unanimous on nil points of importance. This is not the first instance, however, in which tho Republican press has been fooled by tho Democratic organization in Chicago, and it will not bo the last. THE NEW DEMOCRATIC TEE8. COMMIT- Tho sub-committees named by Atd. John McGlllcn, Chairman of tho Democratic Central Committee, aro aro tho wisely chosen. Tho men composing this body excellently quallflod to handle work and attend 'to the details of tho approaching campaigns. The two principal subcommittees arc as follows: Executive Committee John W. Lanehart, Donls Consldlnc, Edward Williams, Patrick McCarthy, Frank S. Fcabody, Henry F. Donovan, John J. Hrennan, Frank W. Wnlkcr, Tho. Byrne, John W. McCarthy (Lemont), Frank X. lirandeckor, William Locfller, nnd Thomas Cus&ck. Chair man McGlllcn and Secretary Strain are members of the committee. Tho new members aro Frank Walker, who succeeds William Calhoun Asay; John W. McCarthy, who succeeds Mr. Slgwnlt, and Thomas Cusack. Committee on Primaries, Contests and Appeals Aid. John J. Ilrcnnan, Frank Kcrz, P. It. Donahuo, John Cunningham, Clarko E. Rolfc, John Fltzstmons nnd Frank G. Murphy. The claim made by some of tbo Republican organs that there is any thing Indicative of antagonism to tho Mayor or to the city administra tion in the formation of thcso com mittees is simply absurd. Tho few changes In the Executive Committee were mado for reasons over which tho Chairman, had no control, nnd the gentlemen comprising tho other wcro 'selected solely be causo of their lltcss, nnd with an oyo solely to tho ntercsts of tho party. Every man da the commit tees Is nnd has been it close personal friend of Mayor Hopkins. Thcro Is not and there will not bo any fac tion In tho Democratic party of Cook County, and tho formation, of these committees gives no Indication of tho kind. MR. RENNACKER IS STRONG. The Twelfth Ward has a host of candidates also for tho West Town offices, tho leading ono being E F. Hcnnacker, tho Madison street clothier, who Is President of tho Re tail Merchants' Association nnd1 a member of nil tho prominent German-American associations of tho West Side, and is making a strong canvass. With a united delegation from his wnrd, Mr. Rcnnackcr will bo a formidable candidate in tho convention, nnd It now looks as if ho was 'almost certain to bo tho Repub lican nominee. MR. OUNTHER FOR ALDERMAN. Mr. C. F. Gunthor Is boing urged to become a candidate for nldorman in tho First Ward. Leopold Moss and R. .1. Gunning aro also talked of. Mr. Moss is un investment banker, and Mr. Guntber a confectioner. Mr. Gunning is In tho sign painting business. They aro all well-known business men. THE SUCCESSFUL WAUBAN8EE. President W. A. Vlncont Is to be congratulated on tho success of the Wuubanseo Club. Wednesday's re ception was a hummer. Ttik law as nn cngino of Justice Is getting moro effective. A Chicago Justice has given u Judgment of five cents and costs to tho plaintiff In each of three suits against tho West Chicago Railroad Company for having collected fares and fulled to carry tho complainants down town. Of course tho injured individuals were put to some expenso and much troublo to got their five-cent damages, nnd will probably Incur further difficulty, as tho corporation will appeal, but oven this little triumph for tho peo ple Is gratifying. If a hungry child stole n five-cent loaf of bread tho State would bear the cost of prose cuting it, and tho penalty might bo moro than restitution of the stolen goods. Rut it is very different when a rich tori oration is tho thief. An employing printer advertised for ft "first-class proof-reader," and hud answers sent to tho address "Nonpareil." Of tho twenty-ono re plies received, four were addressed to "Nonparlol" and ono to "Nonpareil." When It Is remembered that ono of tlio elementary mid Indispensable qualifications of a proof-reader is accuracy in spelling, tho humor of such applications must bo evident to every one but the applicants. Tiieue's a standstill in tho mar riage business in New Brunswick. Marrlago certificates have to bo coun tersigned by tlo Lieutenant Gover nor, and nil thoso held by tho munic ipal clerks wcro signed in blank by tho official nof dead. -While thoy'ro waiting for a new lot, couples havo to go to Mnlno or stay unmarried.

The brightest uso of a friend Is his friendship, nnd In somo respects a frlondly book Is tho very best of friends. Speech Is sliver, sllenco Is golden. A book Is n b-metalllo frlond; It will glvo you either Bllver speech or golden silence, us you pre fer. Of nil tbo myths of tho fairy age, of its many legends and enchant ments, truo lovo seems to bo the ono great charm which has conio down to us unchanged by time, untouched by steam engines, and unexplained by N' science. True love Is true love by whatever signs and language It Is spoken as long as hearts beat, as long as life exists, In whatever age, Iron or golden, we must seek It TitEitE wcro able and learned men on-tho board which arbitrated tho differences between the United States and Great Britain on the Bchrlng sea matter, but subsequent develop ments show that neither party to tho controversy is satisfied with the re sult of their Joint labors. They mado a legal requirement and neglected to provide nny punishment for Its viola tion. They also entered into an agreement under which tho- Cana dians claim that tjielr soul posses sions will bo rendered valueless to them. In some of this thoro' Is a thoughtlessness of ( which avcrngo country lawyers In this country would never bo guilty. t The lot of a Stato Constablo whoso duty is ton enforce tho dispensary liquor law in South Carolina Is by no means a happy one, says tho Spring field Republican. He Is tho most un popular man In tho State, is hooted at by crowds and called n spy by tho newspapers, and Is llablo to bd ar rested on all sorts of charges If ho attempts to make 11 solzurc. In Charleston ono of thcso constables got Into troublo by disobeying the. mandate of the United States court, and was sont to Jail for contempt und another has been arrested for assault on a woman whose house he searched for contraband liquors, and ho was heavily fined therefor by tho police court Governor Tillman is determined to enforce tho law there, n goodly number of tho pcoplo seem equally determined that ho shall not, nnd a very pretty row Is tho con sequence. Benefits which aro great and far reaching aro often brought about in tho quietest way. Something of this order Is the demonstration of an anti dote shown not long ago by Dr. Will iam Moor, of Now York, In tho pres ence of somo physicians. Dr. Moor is supersensitive to tho effect of drugs, but against the remonstrance of his brother physicians ho took threo grains of morphine. He then took a dose of permanganate of po tassium, proving In his own person that tho latter was a perfect antidote to the poison. He says it is equally efficacious In all forms of opium pois oning. This is a very valuable dis covery. Dr. Bleyer, who had strenu ously opposed the taking of tho mor phine on tho ground that It was equivalent to suicide, proposed a vote of thanks to Dr. Moor. "It Is his magnificent discovery," and for tho courage which' enabled him to stako his life upon the correctness of his conclusions. Drj Moor's discov ery Is that tho permanganate will se lect a soluble salt of morphlno from among tho albumen portion and other contents of the stomach with astonishing rapidity and acidity. Undeb the supervision of govern ment officials a test was made re cently of tho armor mado by tho Bethlehem Iron Company, The plate tested was eighteen feet long, six feet wldo, and cloven inches thick. Tho test was madebyaton-lnch gun, carrying a 500-pound projectile Tho first shot penetrated tho plato twelve and one-half Inches, making tho point of the projectile pass nn inch and 11 half through tho armor. Tho projectile was broken in two and tho hole It made was smooth and frco from cracks or ragged edges, which demonstrates the etllclency of tho plate. Ono hundred and thirty-two pounds of powder was used in the first test In the second 172 rounds of powder was used, and tho plato was ponctratcd to n dopth of fifteen and threc-olghths Inches. Wbilo in both instances tho plato was deoply ponotratcd tho backing of tho plato was not disturbed. Tho maximum In each requirement in a government test Is necessary for &ucccss. Tho severest conditions aro imposed, con ditions which never could exist in tho practical uso of an armor plato. Thereforo tho results of this work wero reported as satisfactory, and tho plate, amounting to 400 tons, will be accepted by tho govorn'ment. i 1
