The day is rapidly approaching when

past quarter Of century, or else to be.

the general laws of the state relating to
cites and villages. Does not the abolishipg
of the tenets of our charter entirely, and
adopting a new mode of government en-
body some feature or question Of impor-
lance with which the mass of the voters
are not familiar? Ii so, why has not this
question been publicly ven Hated and dis
cussed as have others which are of a char
ter Infinitely insignificant as compared
with this; or do our daily papers, to which
the average voter naturally turns for in
formation upon all momentous cues
tons, intend to maintain to the erd
their present silence. IF we surren-
der our charter do we not in measure
surrender our individuality, absolutely let
go OF the reins OF our city government and
place them in the hands of the people of the
great state of Illinois?
Is it not an admission upon the part of
the tax payers of this city that they feel
themselves incapable of self government.
incapable of discerning their own needs
and therefore are willing to accept the
legislative protection meted out to them
by legal medicne-men who have never felt
their municipal pulse.
Is there not in this general incorporation
law question of taxations that directly
interests every voter in the city who ownes
q little home? Would not the common
council of our city, were we to set aside
our charter. have authority and power.

The Cincinnati Enquirer goes into an
analysis of the recent vote in Ohio. and
discovers, first, that it is extraordinarily
large. the aggregate being 668.667 5000
more votes than the state ever polled be
fore; second, that Ewing ran ahead of his
ticket, receiving 2 l3S more votes than the
Democratic candidate for supreme Judge;
third, that the National vote fell off from
So, 332 in 1878 to 9,129 in 1879; fourth,
that Ewing received 1892 more votes
til IN the Democratic ticket received last
year, and carried bis own congressional
district by an increased majority. Look
ing over these figures the st. Louis Re
publican thinks they are little curious.
There is a mournful mystery investing
them. They seem to show that Ewing
ought to have been elected, which he
wasn't" They inspire the same sad and
sentimental complacency as that with
which a Frenchman looks over the mute
field OF Waterloo, and reasons that but for
this and that the bronze lion now marking
the spot of the battle would commemorate
great French victory instead of disas
trous French defeat" Or in other words
the growth of the cause" can only be fig
u-ed out by counting Ewiug's whole vote.
