The Cincinnati Inquirer declares the
readiness Of the Democratic party Of Ohio,
during the coming campaign, to accept
strange bed-fellovs, End to fling thair gates
wide open to Republicans desirous to vote
the Democratic ticket. It eay1 also that
the candidates Of the Democratic party
must all be men Of sense. The logical in
ference is that the Democratic party IL
tends to nominate none but Republicans
for Office. It is the appncaiion Of the
"ChaEe" principle to State politics. But
il Democrats are getting an itching to vote
for Republican nominees, why not inquire

THE PARK CASES.
The several cases involving the validity
Of the Lincoln and the South Park acts,
passed by the last Legislature, have been
under discussion before tho Supreme Court
Of Illinois at Mount Vernon. Ii
The drst Of these cases Is the application |
Of the Commissioners Of Lincoln Park for
TO compel the Mayor, Comp
troller and City Clerk to issue to them
$500, 900 in city bonda, to pay for the land
taken aa an addition TO said park. In con-
sidering the question Of the constitutional
ity Of this law, Mr.. Hoyne, for the Commits
iouers. insisted, in tho language Of the
Court in several cases, that the Leg
lslatufe OIL me etase can pass
ans law not p1omn1ted py inc Consurut1ons
OF the o'a1e anu OF Inc United etates; and
that beyond the reductions Of these, It is
absolute, ounnipotent and uncomfortable I
sa Parliament. He denied that the fifth
section Of Article Of the state Conshtu-
fion was in any sense prohibition upon
tho powers Of the Legislature; for, whs1e it
authorizes thst body to invest the corporate
authorities Of cities and towns with power
to 1ery and collect taxes for corporate par-
poses, it does not exclude the Leg.slnsure
from the exercise Of like authority with re-
speet to other persona and corporations.
The Constitution Of Tennessee contained
similar provision, b0t the Court OF the seate
construed 1t as mesely removing all douos
as to the power ot the Legislature 70 dele-
gate to city government the poTefto ta1,
and not Us u restriction upon the Aeg1sla-
tnre to ta1 directly. Ho cited "a
r1ous cases to show that the
decision Of the point as to what is
and What is not a oorporate purpose neces-
sarily rests in the Judgment Of the Legisla-
ture. Tho questions as to "Who ara coz
porate authorities? ind what are corporate
pu1poeess" are only to be answered by leg
islatiGe action. In this Het, the Legislature,
whose power over municipal corporations is
unquestioued, las simply Withdrawn from
tho existing corporation officers the care and

milcage will bear the same proportion t.
her population that ours now does The
people Of Europe have $1,000 Of capital In
vested in railways for each pe.son Of thei,
population, while We hare 5000 per capita
