The City Government.

The letter of Mr.. Baxter, elsewhere print
Portland which has been often made before,
but which here finds added force by being
presented as the definite condition on which
an eminent and esteemed citizen would con-
sent to be candidate for the chief magis-
tracy of the city. Undoubtedly too great
carelessness has been shown in some in
stances in the choice of members of the city
government Men who have sought the
places for love of power or to further some
scheme of themselves or others have some
times been chosen and the interests of the city
have suffered by reason of the intrigues and
combinations of such persons. Members
of the government intent only on the pub
lie service have found them selves thwarted
and hindered from the fact that their associ-
ates were chiefly interested in something
glad to say there has been no vulgar dishon-
esty or peculation, for our city government
has always been notably free from corrup-
ton, but there have been too many men in
the government untitled by character, at
tainments and purpose to sagaciously admin
lister the city business.
1t is easy to see how Mayor might be en-
barrassed in the conduct of his Office by
want of proper support from the Aldermen
and Councilmen, and it is not surprising
that man of Mr.. Baxter's character, habits
and position should shrink from encounter
ing so important responsibilities as the May
orality involves without being sure that he
would be adequately supported by the city
government.
The position taken by Mr.. Baxter affords
text on which to repeat the exhortation so
often before given to the Republicans of
Portland to go to the caucuses and see to it
that such men are nominated as ought to be
nominated. No man ought to consent to en-
trust the city's interests to any person with
whom he would not entrust his private inter-
ests. With this as a test, if the Republicans
will go to the caucuses, good nominations
are sure to be INSTRUMENTATION of sub
stantial, practical and intelligent citizens
with both the disposition and the capacity
to conduct the city's affairs on sound busi-
ness principles. 1t is surely worth while to
give this matter some attention. 1t is some
thing which touches very nearly the personal
interests of us all. And the caucus is the
place wherein to give effective attention to it
1t is futile for men to stay away from the
caucus and then to scratch bad nom nations
or cast isolated and impotent ballots for good
men. If our citizens desire to take practical
action in this important matter let them go
to the caucuses.

the board is 299, the daily average attend
ance at which during the past year has been
134, $50, an increase of 1851 as compared
with the attendance of 1880. The census

GEoRGIA's next-door neighbor looks on
with calmness on the Independent move
ment through the spectacles of the Charles

thinks there will be commotion and churn-
ing-up, healthy attrition and conflict of opin-

that either the Democratic Or Republican

PROFESSOR THOMAS EDWARD CLIFFE
LESLIE, who died fortnight ago, was one
of the few English economists who had
found out that supply and demand are not
all of the science nor the economies OF ma
ton, and the progress of people is not
like ledger account, mere matter OF debit
ard credit. A professor in Belfort Univer-
sity, he has been known to wide public
for singularly original and suggestive dis
cussions of price, production and the rela-
tions of labor to both. The conclusions and
discussions of the American school repre-
sented by Carey in the last generation and
Thompson in this, he treated with the re-
spect of man who knew sound political

JUDGING from the figures which appear
in the current budget, our Canadian neigh
bors have no reason to complain of the eff
feet which the adoption of the protective
policy has had upon their trade and COM
merce. It appears from the public balance
sheet for the last fiscal year that the reve-
nue. for that period exceeded the expendi-
lures by more than four million dollars,
while the exports during the same period
exceeded in value to the amount of ten mil
lion dollars the exports for the previous
year. According to this showing the impo-
sition of a protective tariff has worked like
charm, for under the free-trade regime the
business of the Dominion was going from

MUTILATED coins, which six months ago
constituted fully one-third of our silver cur
rency, are gradually becoming rarer. When
by a common impulse the people began to
refuse these coins the industry of punching
them ceased to be profitable, and the mint
fires have lsos.- ---s,AsAs.ss sa-S',A 10 " =
:, asaa restenpias them into
current silver coin. To facilitate the with
drawal Of these mutilated coins the superin-
tendents of the coming mints are author
lied to purchase them in sums of SO and up
wards at the rate of 81 per ounce of STAN
dard silver contained therein. Their disap-
pearance has been still further hastened by
notices which have been conspicuously post
ed in different cities giving a schedule of
prices for different silver coins when mutt
lated very much below their par value.
These cards read as though issued by au-
thority of the General Government, and are
doubtless the work of SPECTATORS They
inspire the people with willingness to part
with mutilated coins at heavy discount
and make the business of buying them up
quite profitable. As result of these sever
al influences these coins are rapidly disap-
pearing from our circulation altogether.

INSTEAD of striving to placate the foreign
controllers of the Khedivate every act and
utterance since the formation of the new
ministry points to deliberate purpose to
insult and drive them out. Should the
threat of the French and English represen-
tatives of withdrawing be carried out, we
should at once see the intent of the recent
Franco-English alliance-one of the pur-
poses of which was openly declared to be
the maintenance by force of arms OF the su-
premacy of the foreign agents in the hnan-
cial administration of The province. Either
the Egyptian home rulers must have pretty
strong assurances from the Porte of aid,
and the Porte of the same from Germany
or Russia, or they must regard the recent
utteranca of the foreign regents as an idle
menace.

THE immense tract of land set aside by
the State of Texas to pay for the erection of
a new State House has been transferred by
the State during the past two days to Abner
Taylor, G. B. Farwell and John V. Farwell
of Chicago, and A. G. Babcock of Canton'
ILL.,, who will furnish the necessary ftHds
for erecting the building. The place of Ehis
domain is larger than the State of Connecti-
cut and five times larger than Rhode Island.
It is the northwest corner of the State. The
survey extends south distance of 1877 miles,
with an average width of q miles. Two
railways are already projected through this
section of the State. The transfer of these
lands is probably the largest sale ever made
to private individuals, and the purchasers
are the largest la2d owners in the world.

TIE OUTLOOK IN PENNSYI.
VANIA.

The fight which Is inevitable in the
ensuing Republican State COnven-
ton in Pennsylvania premises to be the
most bitter ohc in The history If political
warfare in that Et,te. III. C.,lnerOi,s-
father and s0n-havc sounded their sla-
gan and their clans are luckiing on
their ar,nor for the fray. The anti-ma-
chine men, led l'y Mitchell, are earnest
in their opposition to tho ring that has
held them 20 long by the throat, and
are determined to cast it off. The Cam
erons the danger. They have seen
leader after leader throw off the collar
which they placed around his neck and
now view the situation with alarm.
The fight will he . death struggle.
Either the Can,crons or their opponents
must 60 down. So far as the advantage
which the Democrats will gain by this
contest IL concerned 1t matters but little
which faction gets the best Of it. The
Republican party in that State will b.
80 badly shattered and demoralized that
. large falling OIL Of its membership is
sure to follow. 1t lost heavily last year
by the bolt Of Wolfe. The boilers still
remain outside Of the regular party or
ganixation and form q nucleus around
which the disahected will gather.
Should the Camerons be able to nomi-
nate their candidates their power to elect
them may we'll he questioned. They
cannot depend upon Philadelphia to
grind out ito usual great majority for
them. The machine in that city was
broken and dismembered last fall by the

President, under the pardoning power,
can remit the sentence which, by ex-
GLIDING him from all Offices under the

Editor Miner:
SIR: AS my communication of yes
tertiay has served its purpose in one re-
spect--that of calling your attention ia
the necessity of taking some action il,

suggestion that something should be

doubts and inquiries proIW,intle.l in

But first Us to the action of the Gov
er''"r in pocketimg the aplx'rtIon,ne,lt
bill passed Ly the legislature. 1t is not
doubted but he had the legal right and
authority to do this. And il lie had not
sufficient time to read the hill between
the time it was submitted to him and
the adjournment of the legislature, that
was probably sufficient, if not the hes;
excuse he could have for rx,cketing it.
Ut that fact l was ignOrent when /
wrote my former article. But contend
still for the proposition that apportion-
ment and representation are questions
affecting only the people and the con-
stituencies and their immediate repr,.-
eentatites may fairly be supposed to un-
derstand better their wishes and inter-
ests than Governor appointed over
them. 1t differs materially from ortlina-

OF which eau be clearly shown.
