DALLYING WITH THE PEOPLE'S NEEDS.
WTiile a great deal of interurban activity is promised In the vicinity ot Gary and Calumet township seems likely to be an important traction center
the various projects that have been planned for the cities of North town ship are dormant.
Probably the most Important project i3 that of the building of a direct
line from Hammond to Indiana Harbor. Both, the Hammond, Whiting &
East Chicago line and the Gary & Interurban line seek franchises over routes between these two cities, but local opposition to one road or another
has resulted In the holding up of these franchises.
The result is that this much-needed service has been denied the peo
ple. The building ot lines west of Hammond which were expected to link that city with a number of important Illinois towns Is 'being held up on
account of difficulties with railroads which it seeks to cross.
Through the betrayal of the trust of the people the South Shore line
was not granted a franchise on Indiana avenue and now since it has double-
tracked its present line there 13 no chance that the Hammond extension will
ever be built The Northwestern Indiana Traction company's proposed line
from Hammond to the southward Is exposed as a fake and there is apparent
ly no chance of its being built. .
The Indiana-Chicago Traction company, backed by O. W. Hotchkiss, was
never built and probably never will be. And so one traction enterprise after
another has. been envoi vedt promoted and failed.
In the meantime It is apparent that, the cities of North township are
hadjy In need of Improved traction facilities. It seems under these circum
stances that some action in concert ught to be decided upon by the city
administrations of East Chicago and Hammond would get together for the
solution of the problem of an inter-city traction system. 1 - - IT IS ON. ITS, WAY. ,
Why is it that the politicians insist on dragging this fair land through
panic and unrest every bo often?
Business and industry are feeling the effects of the political din and
clamor that .has been raised and It is almost as sure as fate that until after
the next presidential flection this country Is going to have the glooms. POLITICAL DEMAGOGUES ARE GOING TO DRAG US THROUGH ANOTHER 1893 BECAUSE ANOTHER 1892 IS UPON US.

THE MAYOR AS A TWO-HANDED SCRAPPER. As we predicted Mayor Knotts' visit to San Francisco, where he now is, would not be attended without his telling the sons of the Pacific coast who and wliat he is. The following extracts from the San Francisco Post, reprinted in his honor's Gary organ of the same name, shows what a great and good man Lake county's absent son Is: "One of the -moet picturesque figures in the Grand Aerie, F. O. E., is Mayor T. E. Knotts, of Gary, Indiana, the great steel manufacturing city, established by the United States corporation, just outside of Chicago. Knotts has had a career in three 'piping times of peace parallel to that of the mayor of Dodge City when It was at its wildest and wooliest. For the past five years it has taken a twohanded fighter and all-man to hold down the job of mayor of Gary." We want to call the reader's attention to the next paragraph. It showg how modestly the Gary mayor has been acting out In the golden west: "Knotts, like all real fighters, is modest and self-deprecatory. He disclaims any great credit for his record of achievement at Gary because, as he says, he naturally fights for the love of it when he has to, being a man of peace when they let him alone. 'They' are letting him severely alone now, and Knotts claims to be mayor of the model city of American. ' 'We used to have the thugs and blacklegs of all South Chicago dumped into Gary,' he said. 'In those days a man had to show them he wasn't afraid of them or they would kill him. After the big mills were built a great share of the rougher element drifted away. Now we have a population consisting entirely of wage-earners. Of course, they are a little hard to' handle at times, but we are Improving fast.' "
We pause to talk about the next paragraph. The mayor's most bitter opponent will shed many a tear when he reads that the steel city executive Is telling the Californians that he is a reformer, an honor he never claimed
at home. Read? "I was bitterly opposed on account 'of my platform and expensive Improvements. The big property owners did not want to pay to have the streets paved nor the new sewers put in, but I won out, and now the job is done, well done. You can't find a cleaner, more
orderly or more progressive city In America. That is all owing to the home-owners there who wanted a town where they could be satisfied to raise their children." ! EUGENE PURTELLE, the alleged traction promoter, says he can use 600 laborers on the Kankakee marsh if he can get them. Well, Mr. Purtelle can undoubtedly get them if he will pay their wages, but it knocks the heart out of a man to work for a piece of paper, which he is Informed upon taking1 to a bank, is worthless.

POLICE FIND A TARTAR. In a fight, last night, between Frank SrhafTer, a Bedford character, and a man named Foster, employed as lineman by the telephone company, the latter was badly cut across the throat and other parts of the body. His injuries are very serious. Schaffer was so enraged that, in makina- a heat-y slih at hi adversary' throat a second time, the man dodged, the knife taking effet't on Hchaffer's wrl.it. nearly severing It. The police had to beat Schaffer loose from Foster, and on the way to the Jail, after leaving a trail of blood three squares to a doctor's office.
where his wounds were dressed, they were compelled to knock him down with their mace. In the fall, his arm was broken. Foster is at his boarding house, and Schaffer Is In Jail.
