Secession Agitation In Manitoba,
CHICAGO, Ills, Nov l2. "A Winnipeg,
Manitoba, special says A movement
has been inaugurated to secede from the

THE Republican claim that the de.
partments Of the Government arc now
working under practical system. con
Quoted b, tho Civil Service Commission,
ie sublime ia its impudence The fur
ther claim that competitive examinations
arc now the rule in all Government Of
fees, is remarkably ridiculous. And
when our Republican brethren contrast
this alleged millennium with the actions
Of the Democratic party during the past
twenty years, we lack fitting words to
express our opinion Of their sanity. The
Democratic party, with the slight oppor-
tunities offered IL during the period
mentioned, never went to an extreme in
the matter of removals from office. Only
Republicans were in Office, and low
of them were removed when Democrats
had power. But the vaunted COMPETE
tive examination OF the Republicans
rules out all Democrats. OF the one
hundred and fifty thousand Federal
oflice-holders, how many aro Democrats
Even the few appointed by 4 Democratic
Congress have gone 10 the guillotine.
Hundred of partisan officials are ad-
mtted at these so.called Competitive ex-
aminations' who are OF no use to the

were 80 useful in 1880, and who would

country has had enough of thea. When
the Civil Service Bill came up, tho Dem.
ocrats, by offered amendments, sought
to obtain law which might be of eomo
service to the country; but the proposed
amendments were voted down. Never

YEAR by year the responsibility OF
municipal governments increases, and
this is notably the case concerning the
government OF city growing with a
healthy as well as q rapid growth. NAL
administration is felt most deeply in a
city where, Of a sudden. extensive pub
lie improvements become necessary. And
even in the older cities of the land the
question OF economical as well as eff.
cient municipal government claims the
attention Of citizens. For some time
past this important question has been
discussed in the daily press, while arti.
cles upon the subject, written by gentle
men of experience, have appeared from
time to time ir the monthly magazines.
With very rare exceptions these writer's
hold, as is right and proper in the ease
of an American city, that local self.gov'
ernment is sine qua non. But many,
and among thom man Of no less expert
ence than ex-Mayor Grace, of New
York, opine that there do exist draw
backs in the case OF n city where ma
jority OF the voters are not taxpayers.
1t is alleged, also, that, throughout the
country, there exists a wofnl lack Of
proper civic pride, The inhabitnnt of
this or oil that city will maintain against
all comers the superiority in oil natural
and artificial advantages Of the place
wherein he may chance to dwell. But a
man will forswear allegiance with a
change of domicile, and in no place,
while at home, viii he exhibit tho least
civic pride in its proper sense. One rea-
son for this condition Of things may be
found in that American unrest which
mysteriously impels us to change OF
abode. Again, our Western cities
especially, are yet in a state of transition,
and the elements of our population, ma.
tive and foreign, have not fused into a
homogeneous mass. In the case OF our
own fair city, Of greater interest to us
who dwell therein than are all the other
cities of the land, let us hope that
proper civic pride will animate us all
alike; and that, private citizen or public
servant, each may do his part in building
up in fitting way that which was few
months ago a mere country town, but is
now becoming fast a metropolis. With
us il rests to make it possible for the
Augele1o of tho twentieth century to
glory in his citizenship with apride more
iustly founded than that OF an ancient
Roman.
