The tradition that the poet is a master,

somewhat lost in modern and highly
civilized communities, where he has
been often told, as Jean Paul said IT,

that which never was nor shall be-"
But his power ia impregnable and his
influence sure. Tne man whose song

THE GOVERNMENT OF CITIEs-A
STARTLING EXHIBIT.

Something over year ago the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, by authority Of
the Legislature, appointed Commis-
sion TO devise plan for the govern
ment OF the cities Of that State. The
Commission has quite recently reported
the result OF the Yeas work. This re
suit mas an interest extending boyon'
the limits OF the Keystone State. The
central evil to be relnedied in all the
cities Of the country is the accumuatlne
municipal indebtedness. All others ar.
merely incidental or tributary to it, The
regulation of its amount by constltu-
tional provisions is generally disre-
garded both by the Legislatures and tn
city rulers. Even the Legislative limiia.
lions of one year are set at naught, anC
some subsequent Legislature very read
lily legal Z1s an over-i'sue Of bonds o.
the formation OF contracts entered inI'
in violation of law. This is particularI
the case in Kentucky and some of tn,
Western States.
The New York Municipal Commission
some time since recommended q proper
ty qualification for suffrage on all sub
iects connected with an increase Of tb'
pu Ii, debt. The Pennsylvania Com
mission -rej ct tHe proposition on th
ground that it "would exclude larg,
rumber Of intelligent and honest men
the sons OF respectable property-hOlc
ers," The force of this obj !ctIOn is NJ
very apparent. 1t can not be read!I!
seen why the sons of property-holdert n
who hold no property themselves, shout
not be excluded rom the right OF su
frage as well as those who neither oW
taxable property themselves or happe'
