The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-10-10

EVERY citizen of Philadelphia is interested
in the selection of good men for our muniei-
pal legislature, and if more care was generally
taken to choose none but men who would re-
present the intelligence and business ability
of our citizens, Councils would perform their
duties in a much more able and satisfactory
manner. Ameng the candidates to be voted
for tomorrow, there is none more worthy of
cordial support from those who wish to see
Councils become the real representatives of a
great and wealthy city like this, than Mr.. Will
liam E. Littleton, the Republican nominee
for Select Council in the Twelfth ward. Mr.
Littleton S record as a Councilman is q sufi-
cient guarantee of his fitness He has been
untiring in his exertions to promote all mea-
sures for the public benefit and the improve
ment of the city, and has proved himself TO
be a useful, hard-working, and intelligent
member. The vast majority of the questions
that come up before Councils have no con-
! nection whatever with party politics, and a
man of Mr.. Littleton S worth is entitled to
the support of intelligent voters of all shades
of political opinion.

FALSEHOOD IN POLITICS.

MANY men of no principle, or of defective
moral culture, act in political life as if all
honorable dealing were thing to be dis
carded, if not despised. And indeed it
very often happens that men of the most
rigid integrity in every other relation
of life will excuse duplicty and false
hood in connection with political movements
that they would deprecate and denounce if
exhibited in any business transaction.
All this is wrong and fruitful of moth
ing but evil. Under form of government
such as ours, where political dishonesty can
corrupt every stream of authority and power,
it is of the very first moment that this excep-
tion to the general rule of honesty and int e.
gritty should not be made, but that truth, fair
dealing, and honesty should be demanded by
all as much in political as in social and bust
ness life. These observations have their
general application to both the great
political parties of the country, but are
here made with special reference to
one phase in the Congressional contest in the
Fourth district that must be apparent and re-
pulsive to all intelligent and observant men.
In the bitter personal contest pursued by
William b. Thomas against Judge Kelley, the
great effort of the former has been to misre-
present the character, opinions, record, and
services of his opponent, with special refer
ence to prejudice the mechanics aud laboriny
men against him. BY garbled extracts from
speeches, misstatements and falsehoods ou
of the whole cloth, Thomas would mislead
the people he aspires to represent into
belief that his opponent is not the friend OF
the laboring men of the country.
The truth is as clear as the sun at MONDAY
that, if Ju'ge Kelley in a long and eventfu
career has proven anything beyond contra
diction or doubt, it is his devotion to the in
dustrial interests and laboring classes of the
country. Himself mechanic, the son of a
mechanic, who by industry, honesty, and
labor has elevated himself to an exalted posi-
ton in the councils of the nation, he has
never forgotten that great army of toilers
from which he sprang, but has been, in sea-
son and out, their champion and advocate.
To uphold American Industries, emanci-
pate, elevate, educate, and ennoble American
labor, has been the great effort of his life,
and to attempt by misrepresentation to drive
from his support the very class for whose ele-
walton and happiness his life has been spent,
is not political trick, but crime which M
honorable man would shrink from attempting
General Thomas viii discover very shortly
that he has wofully moderated the intelli-
cence Of the men he would mislesd and de-
ceise Many read quite as much, are as in

THE PRESIDENTS PROULAMA TON
The blockade of the Prussiau coast having
proved failure Of the most decided char
acter the French navy has transferred its
operations to our coast, aud number of men,
of-war have been for some time past engaged
n watching with hostile intentions the Ger
man vessels in several of our ports. The
President has accordingly issued
proclamation to prevent the neu-
trality of the United States from
being violated, and he directs in substance
that the vessels of war of either belligerent
shall not leave any port of the United States
within twenty-four hours of the departure of
any vessel of its opponent, whether man-of-
war, privateer, or merchantman; that vessels
Of war shall not remain in our ports for more
than twenty-four hours except for
absolutely needed repairs and supplies,
and that any such war vessel, after having en-
tered one of our ports, shall not re-enter until
after having visited one of the ports of its
own government The only thing to complain
of with regard to this proclamation is the tar
diness with which it has been issued For
several weeks past the French cruisers
have been prowling in and about
New York harbor, noting the German mer-
chantnen there congregated, and making
preparations to pounce upon them in case
they should put to sea; and, SO far as the
United States authorities were concerned
there was no apparent check upon their move
ments. 1t is said that the Presidents
proclamation was hurriedly prepared
and issued in consequence of import
ant information received in Washington
on Saturday, which indicated that the Ger
man merchantmen we're in special danger.
Be this as it may, it is we'll that the President
has placed the proper restrictions upon the
navIes of the two belligerents before any
occurrence should take place that would in
volve us in difficulties with either party
that might force us to abandon our position
of impartial and friendly spectators of the
contest now being waged in Europe

THE UNION UE-LMPORTAN7 N7
MO YEMENT

MO VEMENI.
THE Directors of the Union League of Phila-
delphia have called meeting OF the members
of that organization for the purpose of con-
sideripg proposed application to the Legis-
lature for the call of State Convention to
amend the Constitution of Pennsylvania. We
must assume that this movement IS not in
any way connected with party politics.
but is intended as a means Of directing
public attention to subject of universal in.
terest
The Legislature has power to propose such
amendments once in five years, and since the
convention of 1888 the power has been exer-
cised. Several amendments have thus been
made and approved by the people. But that
body is not always composed of men who
have any special regard for the fundamental
law of the State, or who are even competent to
perform any other service as legislators than
such as will put money in their pockets. 1t
is the notorious corruption of successive
legislators, and the facility with which the
votes of their members have been
purchased by individuals and cor
porations applying for special legislation,
which have turned the attention of thoughtful
men to the grave question of constitutional
reform. convention called and organized
in the usual way is the only efficient instru-
mentality of such reform, and if the Union
League identities itself with the movement,
that it shall not assume partisan aspect,
its action will probably meet with general
approval.
