! We have seen within the past Few years so
| much of the cheap demagOgy that affects
| great fondness for the labOrng man, and is
| constantly devising new tricks with which TO
fool HIM at the public expense, and Demo-
| cratic leaders have been SO full of it, that we
| feel like thanking Mr.. George G. Sumner, the
Democratic Mayor of Hartford, for the breezy
| little message with which he vetoed the other
day resolution passed by the Common
Council OF that city instructing the Board of
Water Commissioners to pay more than the
market price for labor. After first expressing
his doubts Of the power of the Common
Council to interfere at all with the Water
Board in the making of contracts or en-
plovment of labor the Mayor proceeds TO re-
mark that, even if they have the undlSputed
power, he should consider the exercise
of 1t extremely inexpedient, for the reason
that the Council is Il legislative body, not
organized for nor suited To the exercise of
executive powers. "Ihe orders of the COun-
"ciLD he SAYS, "must be executed by its
"apents, and the details of execution should
abe determined by its agents. The selection
"of laborers and the bargaining for their pay
sis wholly an executive duty, and one which
90 legislative DOuy Is pctuudlly uhHtitu 10
perform.n The truth of this observation
and Its good sense are so patent that it would
seem the waylaring man, though an Alder
man, need not err therein; but Hartford, un-
fortunately, is not the only city III which the
members of the municipal Legislature have a
great desire TO exercise executive functions
whenever there is political capital to be made
by it,
But the Mayor goes even further, and fairly
takes the bull by the horns when he speaks
of a still more Objectionable feature OF the
resolution in its providing for the payment
of a higher than the market price for labor
The Common Council propose TO pay 81 20
per day, when labor of the kind employed is
freely offered at 81 12l2, and the market Is
oyerstocked at that. Says Mayor Sumner
and we commend his remarks to the attention
of all persons connected in any way with Con-
eressional, State or Municipal legislation
"Under such circumstances 1t would be a
clear breach of trust on the part of the Council
"to pay more. 1t Is no part of our
municipal power to dispense the funds col
Elected by taxation in gratuties, nor is it
"any part of proper legislative power TO at
"tempt to regulate prices by law. Such eff
" forts are opposed TO the spirit of free gov
"enment, tend TO injure the working classes,

"and lead to despotic methods. The great
"est kindness the city government can
"confer upon day labOrers is to man
"age our city business as honestly, as
" efficiently and as economically as posi-
"ble.n This is sound and wholesome talk,
not only for Hartford but for all other cities
where cheap politicians have the notion that
they can make regulations as special friends
of the laboring men by voting to pay few
favored ones in the public service price be-
yond the market. 1t Is dishonest ana u
dirty trick, without a palliating feature. NO
Councilman or Alderman ever voted Tor any
such resolution without knowing that ne was
acting dishonesty toward the public when
had trusted him to do its business as pru-
IDENTIFY, honestly, and economically as he would
his own; and we venture to say that very
few ever supported such resolution without
feeling ashamed of themselves in the act.
All these interferenccs by politicians with
the regular and inevitable movements OF the
market and all attempts to regulate prices
by the Aldermanic sense of justice, instead
of by the memorable laws of supply and de-
mand, are mischievOus and vain. There are
very few laboring men who do not see through
the demagOgy at the bottom of the whole
business and who do not feel the insult to
their intelligence by such silly efforts to win
their favor The strange thing about it is
THAT the demagOgues themselves who play
these absurd pranks with the people do not I'M
dcrstand how thin it all is, and how easily the
worllnsmen, whom they are trying to fool,
see through il and dcspise the tricksters But
such politicians as Mr.. Samuel Cox in Con-
gress, and the lesser lights in our Boards OF
Aldermen and Council, keep it up with a
great deal of dng-dong. and think they are
foong the laboring men and making votes
for themselves. We commend Mayor Sum-
ners message to them.

It looks as If the Federal Government were tring
with George Reynolds. the Mormon, instead OF
furnishing him. No sooner is he sentenced than,
while he is utterly rebelous and defiant an act OF
clemcncy Is extended to him, and he is removed
from the Nebraska Penteutiary to " DOLBY" CABIN
four miles from Salt Lake City, where his coniine-
ment will be Of the mdest, where he can see his
family and friends, ENJOY his martyrdom," ana
have all the comforts of a home. The reasons 1of
this clemency seem insufficient. Reynolds has been
convicted of bgamy and is one OF thousands
who are practising it persistently. He ought To
have exemplary punishment. He is the first Nor
mon convicted under United States law passed
many years ago; his sentence was light and II he
is thus practically relieved from its discomforts his
punishment is a mOckery. IL the other Mormons
were to surrender and reDounCe their crimes IN view
of his conviction, there might be some reason for
dealing leniently with hun but they are lDcorrgl-
bic aud look upon the Federal Government with
contempt for which the punishment Reynolds IS
receiving furnishes considerable excuse 10 De
vindictiyc, even toward the MOrmons, would not
be wise; but if the Government possesses any
dignity whatever, and does not wish to receive anu
deserve dersion it will have to change its attitude
toward the still surviving and remarkably vigorous
"tWin" Of the alkaline plains.

For once the quality of Kentucky justice
seems to have been moderated. The report
teegraphed East some days since that
Buford would probably not be hanged for the
murder of Judge Elliott, is fulfilled literally,
but not practically. BufOrd has not been ac-
quilted, but convicted, and his punishment
has been fixed at Imprisonment for he
Certainly the verdict does not exceed the de-
mands of justice. The murder was de-
liberate, atrocious, unprovoked; ana was
committed by a man who had been
bully all his life long, and had severai
times before attempted assassinatons. IL Is
difficult to conceive of many crimes more re-
voting than that of shooting judge because
his decision was unfavorable. There Is GER
tain fitness in the jury verdict, because Buiord
had the insolence to set UP defence OF lifelong
insanity, which unquestionably made 1t proper
that he should he shut up for the rest OF his
life. 1t is much to be feared that Executive
clemcncy may at some future time nullliy THIS
sentence. and Colonel Buford's highly respect

the hurry of every day life we are apt
to overlook the dangers attending it
and often find too late, that a Fever

THE NEW DEAL of June 3, 1870
completes It's first volume and announ-
ces the fact to it's readers. The editor,
Col. Utley, says I'VE have run the
thing one year without importuning
any one to subscribe, personally, or
dunning any one for pay, for we
thought it was due to the people to let
them see what kind of paper we
could get up, before we called on them
to help u.s." Nevertheless the Colo
nel's friends got subscribers, and sent
in funds. Now, under the circumstan-
ces, he feels warranted in calling on
his friends to come to his aid, with
subscribers and the other stuff. That
is right. Not even Col. U tley can con-
tinue to run paper mostly at his own
expense after the first year. Those
who agree with the .Neaoa Deal, and
take it. should pay for it promptly.
