A Needed Reform.

We hope that Mayor Davenport and
the Aldermen will introduce, among other
needed reforms, one in regard to the use
Of spirituouS or intoxicating drinks by any
member of the police force while on duty.
Railroad conductors, engineers on locOmo-
tives or steamers, pilots and those on
whose conduct depend the safety of lives
are prohibited from drinking while on
duty So also are all members of the DO
lice force in large cities, and immediate
dismissal follows the violation of this very
proper rule 1t should be so in Rock Isl
and, A policeman under the influence of
liquor cannot discharge his duties proper
Iy-he will be hasty, inconsiderate. or
cruel without intending TO be so, doing in
justice and bring discredit upon the city he
serves and upon the administration ap-
pointing him. Besides this, he will, if he
INDUCES in the habit of drinking. 20 down
into the ditch with dissipated men. at last.
We can call to mind very few men in this
city, for twenty years. who have held the
position of policemen or marshal and pre-
served habits Of temperance or sobriety.
Scarcely pereeiying it themselves, the hab-
it grows gradually upon them until they 90
down among the regular and intemperate
drinkers, losing property and position and
leaving the force worse than when they
entered it. They are exposed to strong
and unusual temptations Most saloon
keepers naturally desire to be on the good
side Of the police and are therefore liberal
with invitations to take a drink ?" And
before the policeman il aware of it he has
contracted desire for drink which grows
upon him day by day until he becomes un-
fit for the position These men are in the
employ Of the people, and their conduct
affects the whole people, who have right
to insist that their servants shall lead or

them Mayor, Aldermen, and all appoint

Gen Tillson, Republican, is elected to
the Legislature from Adams county in
place Of Judge Bushnell, Republican, over
Marsh, Democrat, by about 80 majority.
The Democratic managers in Quincy knew
very well that the member properly be
longed to the Republicans, under the prin-
ciple Of minority representation, and they
were warned by the Democracy in other
parts of the State against the injustice of
attempting TO grab what did not belong to
them. We are happy to say that enough
ofthe honest Democratic people of Adams
have rebuked these managers by voting for
the Republican candidate and electing him,
thus doing an act Of simple justice, and
saving the credit of our party. What
would we have said, had Mr.. Durham
died, and the Republicans here have at

Democratic wire-pullers in Quincy at

m. Ninar city oaeer.,

Formerly all the minor city officers were
chosen by the City Council, by ballot, the
Mayor having an equal voice or vote witt
others. 1t will not be so this year--anC
the way it happens is as follows Undel
the new constitution special legislation i
prohibited Chicago wanted some special
legislation, and the only way she could Sc
cure it was to get an act passed inciudlng
what she wanted, and make the law APP
plicable to all organized cities. ms was
done and therefore all cities which were
organized beEore the adoption of the new
constitution come under the provisions Of
what is generally known as the Chicago
Mavor law" Among its provisions is
one requiring all officers not elected by the
people to be appointed by the Mayor and
confirmed by the Council, by yeas and nays,
to be entered on the record. The Mayor
also has absolute power to remove any off
Ger, at any time, without Trial, but he must
give his reasons for the removal at the
next regular meeting of the Council, and
nominate a successor, etc, etc. And if he
vetoes any bill it requires majority of all
the Aldermen elected to pass it over his
veto. The act is only to be in force two
years from March 9, 1872. This year,
therefore, Mayor Davenport will have
the nomination and the remoxal
of all city officers not elected by
the people. The responsibility will rest
upon him to select the most suitable men,
and then the Aldermen will say whether
they shall be confirmed or not We have
no doubt that Mr. Davenport will feel his
responsibility to the whole people, and Sc
lect men who will be a credit to the city as
well as to the party.
There is scarcely an Office in the city
that is at all desirable, to man who has
any business Of his own, or who is capable
of getting an independent livelihood. In
fact the offices are generally an injury to
those who hold them, pecuniarily and per
sonally Still, they must be filled, and
their duties discharged. Mania for office
brings many applications, but in nine cases
out of ten those who get office would be
much better off without THE ARGUS has
no candidates for any of the places, and its
proprietOrs will make no recommendations
of persons for any position. 1t would
not be fair for us to do so, for all are our
friends who will be likely to apply. The
responsibility rests with Mayor Davenport
alone for the nominations We have no
doubt that be viii exercise the power with
caution, and secure the very best men he
can for all the places. And after the nom
nations shall he made, it will be the duty
Of the Aldermen to reject them if they
are not suitable persons. They, as well as
the Mayor, should see TO it that no incom-
petent man, or any man of disreputable life
or character gets into any place The whole
people expect uprightness, integrity, ca
pacity, industry and economy in their
servants, and will tolerate no other. And
the party expect all this, too, and also men
who will manage affairs so discreetly and
efficiently as TO reflect credit upon the
party which placed them in office.

The New York Legislature has refused
to declare Iweed's seat vacant. If the
Goddess Of Justice really has an abiding
place in that State, she had better puil
the bandage from her eyes and see what
people are doing in her name, or in de-
spite Of her mandates. When such infa-
nous thieves as Tweed become rulers in
the land it is time to dispense with jails
and Penltentiaries. II Chicago Journal.
That Tweed should have been acquitted
by jury is not strange, as juries 20; and
that the New York Legislature, by vote
Of 10 to 7, should have refused to declare
his seat vacant, is not strange, as legisla
tive bodies co. Chicago Tribune.
The reason is plain. The New York
Legislature is more than two thirds com
posed Of Grant Radicals, and Tweed hav-
ing aided in carrying New York for Grant,
and having, years ago, bribed considera-
number of the Radicals who were then
and are now members Of the New York
Legislature, the Radical party didn't want
Tweed convicted or his seat declared va.
cant That's what's the matter.
