and is an advantage really unworthy of the
author of thisdocument. In the face of the
example of election sermons" from the time
of the Pilgrim Fathers, and in the teeth of
his own advice to the people to gather to-
gether and pray that the tariff laws may be
amended; that the navigation laws may be so
changed as to give prosperity to ship-build-
ing and to commerce; that there shall be a
good fish "catch" the coming season; and in
asmuch as the principal purpose of the day is
TO be to allow the degenerate sons of worthy
sires to meet together and supplicate
for wisdom to recover 'the inestimable
blessings oflaw and liberty" which have been
lost through some means or other, there is
want of candor and sincerity in this clos
ing exhortation to the pulpits of the State
for the omission of political and secular
topics" In the name of his own proclama-
ton, after having enumerated all the 'secu-
lar and political topics" in which the people
of Massachusetts who follow after Butlerism
can possibly be interested how can the Gov
ernor expect MS taSt day 10 De observed IN
the spirit in which it is proclaimed, unless
the ministers follow the example of the great
head of the State church. We have heard
of folks getting even" with other folks in
prayer, but this is the first instance we know
of where Governor has hit his political
enemies 'diff," and stirred up the blue
blood of Beacon Hill in fast-day proclama-
ton. The 5th of April will be a great day
for Massachusetts, and the spirit in which
the preachers accept Governor Buffers regu-
lations for its observance will be looked for
vita some anxiety among those who fear
union between church and state.

ton in this government without representa-
ton, and if the State proposes to force upon
the city of indianapolis foreign power for
the administration of it's most vital inter
ests, the State must provide for the payment
of its own creatures. The City Council will
be upheld in absolute and unconditional
refusal to levy a tax or appropriate a
cent for the payment of State police,
and we do not believe there Is a respecta-
bic court which would attempt to
compel such payment by mandate. If a
court could be found, councilmen and city
officers would honor their manhood and their
citizenship by invoking penalties for con-
tempt of such au thority.
But the discussion of this bill in the Sem
ate emphasized the importance and necessity
of the kind OF legislation the Journal has
repeatedly urged. Senator Fletcher an
nounced himself believer in concentrated
remedies" and yet with strange stulitifca-
is no concentration and no possible response
blity. What he said about the police ad-
m;nistration of this city. in so far as it is
true. and what Senator Van Vorhis revealed
of the workings Of the present system, show
the Importance of the abolition of all So
called executive boards in the city govern
ment which, as we have heretofore said,
tend to inefficiency, confusion aud corrup-
ton. What is wanted is the ex-
ecutive authority of the city cen
tered in the mayor, with ample
power for its exercise. With such regula-
ton OF the executive authority, the citizens
might reasonably expect good administra-
ton and a satisfactory enforcement of the
law. With the present diffusion of response
bility this is next to impossible, and with
no responsibility to the people, as in the
metropolitan police system, is totally out of
the question. With Senator Fletcher, the
Journal is for concentrated remedies" "
Give us the concentrated" mayor, and then
if he does not do his duty the people will
know exactly who is to blame, and can apply
the remedy at the ballot-box, which in this
country is the sovereign and the only abso-
lutte power.
