the community knows some of this class
who go to the polls and vote as they please.
and with an independence of party rule
that nothing daunts If citizens organi.
cations propose to stand aside and await
the action of political parties in municipal
tiles, indorsing such candidates of the local
clubs, conventions and caucuses as they
choose, and making up so called reform
tickets from several political tickets, they
will accomplish nothing. All such half.
way measures accomplish only i'll. Socie-
ties so acting become themselves party
machines, and will soon be ruled as are
other ward organizations, and will deserve
to rank much as do piece clubs, however
pure their aims. But if they utterly ig-
more political questions in the domestic
arrangements of the municipal family if
they hold to the doctrine that the ques-
ton of drainage, water rates, economical
taxation, settlement of bonded indebted
ness, sanitary inspection, street improve
ment, city identifying and cognate mat
tiers are purely matters of business,
to be treated and acted upon precisely as
business men do in their private affairs,
where they never consider the question
whether customer or clerk, buyer or
seller, a principal or partner, is the
member of this, that or the other political
party if they will act with view to Sc
curing for the city administration the best
business ability, without regard to the
question whether half, third, three
fourths or all the officers to be chosen are
Democrats or Republicans in political
faith-then there will come to them sue
cess, because it will be deserved. But
any effort to divide the offices on ticket,
evenly or otherwise, and dub it citizens'
movement, will be but repeating an old,
worn and stale trading trick of the poll
ticians themselves. As we have shown,
the enforcement of municipal governmental
affairs from political management can in
no respect injure parties, or weaken them,
or add to their strength. 1t will not give
advantage to any, nor eliminate partisan
vigor from campaigns in cities on State
and national questions. In other States,
in citizens organizations, some of the most
active partisans are found prominent,
utterly ignoring political Issues for munich
pal purposes, but retaining all their ale
glance to party outside the domestic affairs
of their towns. There is, therefore, no
reason, while excluding "bosses and
"machine workers, for excluding from
such domestic labors men who are honestly
active in politics, as all good citizens
should be. To exclude them is to shut
out desirable element of strength. All
that should be asked is an assurance that
the citizen is sincere in favor of the pur-
poses of the movement and is willing to
lay aside party for local benefit. Any other
method OF operation must result in unit.
ing partisans against the citizen independ-
ents, and the result is easy to be foreseen.

tion-correspondents ask how this is to be
accomplished, and what is the local move
ment TO which we have referred as on foot
here. Dividing the question, and respond
ing to the latter part first, we can only say
that while informed as to the principles of
the local organization, we are not advised
as to the details by which it is operating.
As to the announced principles upon which
1t is based it is enough to say that they
are commendable, since they propose sim.

government, the exercise of proper mtlu.

schemes that experience and wisdom sug

man will oppose. But it is very different
matter when it is sought to unite citizens
upon methods of action for their attain.
ment, How are these desiderata to be
accomplished is the serious question.
We have pointed out that they are impos-
sible of accomplishment SO long as the
system of ward politics prevails in our
cities, and it matters not under
which political party they are conducted.
On this all political economists who have
of late written upon, the subject are
agreed. Now, what shall be substituted
Tor the trading, buying, selling, caucusing,
cheating and rascality of ward politics in
Che cities of the country? Obviously, hon
esty, openness, integrity, competency and
the selection of men and measures with an
eye single to the good of the whole com.
munity and regardless of party supremacy.
But how shall this substitution be brought
about By educating the public senti-
ment up to its necessity. This should,
therefore, be the object of all the many
town improvement societies now forming
in the United States. The initial work OF
these societies, therefore, is to secure the
open and courageous aid of so many citi-
zens who have heretofore acted with
@party," that it will be impossible for
s'party" to rally and take part in munich
nal affairs. Until, therefore, a citizens
organization can command influence suf.
iciently potent to compel political parties
to forego party caucus, nomination and
canvass as to city affairs, it will be
unable to enter upon the work of improv-
ing local conditions. Can this be accom-
'ulished? is the question, we repeat. As
to methods, none that are secret will avail,
nor are they commendable. The citizens
who are united in the work of local reform
certainly have nothing to conceal. If they
fear the wire workers or political bosses
will "capture " their organizations then
their fears betoken their weakness.

cal refneries would probably

local refneries would probably be
started, and supply largely the home mar
ket for refined sugars, snd this would re-
duce the Mexican export of crude sugar
and our export to Mexico of refined sugars.
This is fair statement of both sides of the
case. Mr.. Sutton is of the opinion that
the treaty would double or treble the sugar
industry in about six years. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that it is not sufficiently
Important matter to be made barrier to
the conclusion of treaty which, in so
many other respects, will inure to our ad-
vantage. Mexico comedies the duties on
twelve articles, the duties on which amount
now to about $740 600. These articles are
petroleum, carriages, tools, sewing ma.
chimes, stoves, naphtha, clocks, vegetables,
crude petroleum, steam engines and fruits.
Petroleum now pays32 per cent duty; three
articles pay only weight duty, but all the
remainder pay lively tax. The treaty
will open Mexico to US on all these goods
and products, and give us wide and profit
able market. Our wagon and carriage
manufacturers would, for instance, have a
perfect bonanza, because hardwoods of the
requisite toughness are so scarce in Mexico.
The duty on these goods is nearly 100 per
cent, and it needs no great wisdom to fore
tell the effect of its removal, and what an
impulse it would give to many of our
industries. To show concisely just what
the concessions are, side by side, the Cen
eral presents this comparative table

JOURNALISM AND POLITICS.

We noted our concurrence with the San
Francisco Bulletin in its expression that the
profession of journalism cannot be properly
allied with politics-that journalism is the
synonym of independence, and that po-
litical organ never was, and never can be,
a true journal. Quoting these and similar
remarks, the San Jose Mercury asks us if
we mean that the true journalist is one
without opinion "Were not the RECORD.
UNION and the Bulletin journals when
working in party harness % "Scores of
leading journals at the East are partisan in
character" remarks the Mercury. "No
journal can have force in these times with
out strong political convictions. Editors
to be honest must carry their political con-
victions into their columns. Is the opinion
less, fence.straddling, non-committal pa
per the only true journal?" To all which
we reply that the Mercury misconceives
our remarks. They were plain enough,
and needed no reading between the lines.
We mean simply that independent journal
ism, as regards political parties, is the only
true journalism. Or course the true jour-
nal will have, and express preferences /; of
course, when convinced that given party
policy is the best for the country, it will
advocate it; of course, when driven to
choose between two contending organiza-
tions, it will advise the people to adhere to
the one which comes nearest to its views of
right and Justice. Toe true journal must,
however, maintain the judicial attitude,
else it is not competent critic /; and true
journalism is always critical, just, fearless
and dispassionate. The true journal will
have strong political convictions, but it
does not follow that it must be the organ
of party. The "party organ dare not
critioise the party its very terms of exist
ence preclude it becoming critical. con-
fessed "party organ the people well
understand must pipe in one key, and they
therefore look for nothing else from it.
Obviously, therefore, when it advocates
the party claims, it presents itself to the
intelligent reader as a mere circular of the
dominating influence in the party. We
repeat, then, that journalism must not
be allied with party-that is, have no COM
pacts with it which cripple it, or lessen that
independence which alone gives journals
opinions in politics any weight. Let our
friend, the Mercury for a moment con-
slider the position of any purely party or
gan and note the measure of its influence

IT is said that under the Act of 1853 the city can
not be sued or pursued on execution. This is so
stated in the law and may lead some into error, for
in the recent case decided by the Supreme Court
there was no Z" suit" 1t was petition for man
datory writ, not prayer for judgment on which an
execution can be based and the Court says it will
grant it. That mandate amounts to instruction to

TIE SETTING SUN OF POWER.

The San Francisco ErGminer is preparing
soft bed to fall upon next Tuesday when
the Ohio election takes place. Hear it :;
cit is just possible that the splendid op-
portunity which has fallen in the path of
the Democratic party of Ohio may be de-
stroyed by the insane feuds of Democratic
partisans. The quarrels of the politicians
may negative public sentiment which,
but for these follies, would carry Hoadly
into the Executive chair of the State by a
triumphant majority. Selfish interests,
individual ambitions and personal dislikes
are permitted to weigh mere with these
people than the splendid achievement
which is offered to the party" That is
one way to put it. The truth is that the
Democratic trickery in Ohio has Disguised
the people. The "rings" and "bosses "
are finding out that their rule means ruin
to any party they dominate. Every hour
the bonds of party become less and less
binding, and the independence of the
voter every hour augments. The sun Of
the day has almost set when the crack of
the party whip will be of no more effect.
