WHO SHALL HANDLE TIE MONEY P

The citizens OF Chicago, outside the various
political combinations and rings have bosn con-
aidorably puzzled to understand why tho local
campaign for the election Of municipal o1lcers
has beon begun 80 much earlier this year than
usual 4 number Of roaBons have been assigned
without atforeling any satisfactory explanation.
The Germans haye been "agitatlng," aud tho
politicians havo been agitated about, tho Sunday
ihw question, and this iasuo Is offered as rea-
son why the bail is rolling and tho pot ls boiling
long before ball-rolling aud pot-bolling aro
necessary. Tho fact la that some months ago,
when tho strict enforcement Of tho Sunday law
was commenced, the German population got
up good leal OF Excitement over the situation,
under the influence Of local politicians. At tho
present time, however, the politicians arc having
the excitement pretty much to themselves, and
the Gorman people, who have found TINT their
not materially Affected, while tho general inter-
ests OF good order arc considerably advanced by
the present treatment Of tho case, hayo ceaBed
to tako any worry active concern In tho matter,
We have also been told that the Republicans,
approhenaive Of the detection of tho Gormans,
found 1t nocossary to organize their forcea
earlier in the day, and rally the purity togethcr
for convention aud fight But hore wo find
tho fact to DO that the Republicans as indivld-
uals do not caro- anything about convention,
and refuse to share with tho party managers
either their approximations or their enthusiasm.
Tho Ho-called Committee OF soyonty likewise
entered tho tiold at IN early hour, with tho pur-
pose OF hoading of the combination against the
interests they represent; but, unmindful Of tho
evidences that tho combination would defoat it.
sslf, thoir chief accomplishment haa been to
demonstrate their own inability, aud to open
their doors also to the politicians, who havo not
failod to olbow their way among them. Thus all
the profrerod explanations notably fall to az
plain why tho anxiety to seize upon tho To-
cal Offices las betrayed itself 30 soon.

THE PRUS8IAN AND AMERICAN BYSTEMS.
Some weeks ago The TRIBUNE printed an ill.,
tolligent letter from Germany, written by M
American sojourning in Europe, anl descriptive
OF tho iron-clad Government which Prussia, un-
dor tho 'leadorship Of Bismarck, has imposed
over tho North German Empire. Tho letter
and the remarks accompanying 1t seem to have
occaHionod considerable controversy. The vioWB
sot forth received Endorsement where 1t might
have been least expected Tho Stats 1eitung,
Of this city, and other German newspapers
throughout tho country, pronounced them sub
stantially correct. Among tho various COM
monts and criticisms which hayo been
called out, communication was printed
in THE TRIBUNE Of yesterday which
undertook to contrast tho political puri-
ty OF tho German Empire under Its present
system of Government with the political corrup-
tion that prevails in this country. Tho contract
is undoubtedly in favor OF Germany at tho
proHont moment, SO fur as honest administration
and protection OF tho people orc concerned
But it would be false and dangerous to permit
tho present political situation In the two coun-
tries to paas as an evidence that tho prusBian
system is tho better form Of Government for an
advanced condition Of civilization. It is not
necessary to 60 over the detaila Of the Prussian
system. These were very fully sot forth in
tho previous articles. It Is only necessary to
recall the conclusion that 1t il tho most
absolute form Of paternal Government, In
which tho porsonsl condition or interests Of tho
individual count for nothing except when sub
joot to the Empire, conforming to all the arbl-
trary regulations OF tho State, whose power ia
supromo, and whose general interests arc Of tho
frat aud most exclusive Importance. II tho polit-
ical condition OF people under such system
is botter than that OF pooplo who govern thcm-
solves, 1t is because tho men in power arc purer,
and not because tho system guarantees such
superiority or such purity. II the political

Philadelphia has got now scandal, which i6
staggering tho decent element Of tho community,
accustomed as 1t las become to scandals Of
ovory description. 1t eoems that tho Grand
Jury Of tho August torn of tho Criminal Court
determined TO Investigate tho alloge edmalfoasanco
Of tho District Attorney, William 3. Mann, who
bus so long been tho head Of the corrupt Ropub-
lican City Ring, and has became as notorious
throughout the country as the New York munich
pal leader, Tweed. The Jury therefore summoned
tho District Attorney before them and questioned
him concerning his connection with tho charges
against him, which wero matters OF public no.
soriety, and which they had d right to investi-
gate. The District Attorney not only refused to
auswer any question, but insulted and browboat
tho Jury, and referred tho oaao to the Court,
Judge Ludlow, who sustained him and declared
that he WAS right. Tho charges against the Dis
trict Attorney arc the larceny Of certain bonds
from tho treasury and tho compoupding Of
felonies, and the decision Of tho Court
il, therefore, to tho effect that the
Grand Jury has no right to intormeddlo
with the District Attorney when ho chooHoB to
compound felony. Both tho District Attorney
and tho Judge arc candidates for oflce on tho
same ticket. Az tho Constitutional Convention
Of tho State has adjourned over until after the
election, without amending the Registry low, it

| elected, but there must come timo boforo long
when the decent people Of Philadt 1phia will find
