euratc estimate of lis value rs n mere Municipal

further seen, exactly. how much The people had TO
90 with the MANAGEMENT of their so-called Govern
mcp further light viii be thrown or that question
~ well as upon the responsibility and capacity of our
people politically.
The original bill as prepared made the entire
Government elective and responsible 10 tue people
as il came from Congress the people had not shred
of effective power under il. Tie President and
Senate appointed the Governor and Secretary, and
The Governor had power 10 veto the acts Of the
Legislature. The President and Senate appointed
the members Of the Council-thc Upper House of
the Lcgislature: also the Board OF Pnhlic Works,
which al once became an omnjpoent and irresponsi-
ble body; and also the Board of lIcaith. The
people could elect the members Of the Lower House
and a delegate in Congress Save these, they were
mutc and pOwericss. The judiciary and other
branches of the Government remained as they were.
II is thus seen thai the people were without
shred of useful and independent power They only
had = negative the Presidents Council. and when
the lively quality Of large manageable element in
our voting population is remembered, and the bonnd-
ess power Of the Board of Public Works IS recalled
nothing was easier than for it utiiizo the cOlorcd
vote, or supplement il from populous Maryland and
Virginia, and control the Lower House, as its emo
mics in the District charged il with doing.
Congress. even could not long endure the presence
Of this thing of its own production, and put
il out Of all mems sieht Therefore The people Of the
District are incapable of seif-goyernment. This
parallels that other modern proposiiIon-Ihc peo-
pie Of louisiana accepted one Nichols a5 Governor
Of the state; therefore President Hayes went back
on the party which voted for him. \. g. RIDDLE
