TIE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

The powers and responsibilities placed upon
the Commissioners Of the District to be ap.
pointed under the new law arc greater, we are
inclined to think, than have over heretofore
in this country devOlvcl upon three civil ulli-
Gers Of government. The entire management
OF the affairs Of tins community Of 10000
people Is placed absolutely under the control
Of three commissioners We call attention to
this fact IN order to impress upon the Presi-
dent and his advisers the Importance OF con
sidCrng well the qualifications Uf those whom
he may select to bC clothed with these extra
ordinary Powors They should be nIeu of
Acknowledged administrative ability, old
enough to know how, and young enough to
promptly perform their dutirs.-EtcHny StT.
The above, from our evening cOtempo-
rarv, VIC indOrSu in the most emphatic
terms
The new law for the government of the
people of Washington is the result of the
combined wisdom of the Senate and House
Of Representatives Of the United States en-
acted after full deiiberatiOn and discussion
by the representatives. of the people of the
entire country -Omitting, Of course, the
views OF the people of the District of Column
bia, the community Immediately interested,
whose popular voice was entirely ignored.
The successful enforcement Of the act de-
pemds. in great measure, upon the per-
sonmd Of the Commissioners. The ind-
yiduality Of this board of governors will
have great weight with our people in their
satisfaction with this arbitrary form OF gov
ernmCnt.
The management of municipal affairs has
90 far in the history ofthe world been pro-
ductive of discomfort and dissatisiac-
ton Thomas Jefferson, the father
OF Republican ideas in America,
admitted that municipal governments in
