The BuIlitt Bill.

The Philadelphia newspapers are taking
great deal of interest in the Bullitt bill,
for the reorganization of their city govern
ment ; and it is very natural that they
should. Probably the bill provides an i'm
proved machinery for the city ; but nothing
is more certain than that the best system
of municipal government will be little
better than the worst, if those chosen
to administer it are not trust
worthy; and that they will not
be 50, is quite certain, if Phila-
delphia continues to he ruled by
tle element that has long held
it fast in its control. In other words, W hat
we wish to say is that the people of Phila-
delphia need to reform themselves rather
than their charter. If they choose good
men to office, their form of government is
good enough; if they choose bad men, a
new form, and theoretically better form,
will help them little The Bullitt bill re-
poses increased powers in the chief execu-
tive officer, the mayor which is good i'll
theory, and splendid in practice with "A
good mayor in place but very bad, indeed
with bad mayor.

A Bill To Veto.

The owners of 100000 worth of prop
erty in this state which is devoted to the
manufacture of oleomargarine, have ap-
peared before Governor Pattison to protest
against his signing the bill passed by the
legislature, to prohibit the manufacture
and sale of Oleomargarine, which is just as
respectable a business as manufacturing
laws and more honorable than selling
votes and influence, in which some of the
men who passed the bill are engaged.
Never had men on such an errand bent a
better cause. 1t pleases the advocates of
this measure to call it an act to suppress
bogus butter" 1t is no such thing. A
stringent act to prevent and punish the
sale Of oleomargarine for butter, or for
anything but what it really is, is already
on the statute books of the state, and no
more legislation is needed on this subject.
ii the governor signs this impudent and
indecent bill he should recommend TO the
legislature the prohibition of the sale of
inackerel in Pennsylvania for the protec-
tion of the shad fisheries, and propose cap
ital punishment for anybody who eats ham
in preference to fresh meat.

Let Them Leap.

The man who leaped from the Brooklyn
bridge is called fool for his pains; but if
he had escaped with his life he would have
won an enviable fame for his skill and dar-
ing. He exhibited the same qualities in
failure that he would have showed had he
succeeded the only difference being in the
result of his effort, which was the test rs to
whether it would he applauded or con-
demned. If he had descended into the
water feet foremost Ire would have done the
feat successfully. He simply failed in his
ability to control his body TO straight
. line Of fall throughout its descent. He
knew that it would be necessary to do this
He certainly thought he could do it. That
he essayed it, demonstrated his faith and
courage. His attempt is not justly to be
condemned as foOlhardy. 1t was intended
to solve the question as to whether the
body could be so controlled in its fight
through long leap that it would be safely
received into body of water. The solu.
ton O'f thisquestion might be of some value
t0mankina Atany ratea great deal of in
terest was taken in it by many people, and
the experlmentef' himself was of them
He had right to make the trial in his
person; and certainly deserves praise fol

plished was of some value to man he is to b,

or Doubtful Value.

To "Sunset" Cox is ascribed the very
happy apborism that the I" national" ag-
rcultural and educational bureaus append
cd to our federal administration are " like
burs on sleeps tail-they do not belong
there, but they are mighty hard to get
OUT
Experience thus far with both these bu-
reaus shows that they cost more than they
come to. They are out of place. Agricul-
ture and education are work for the states.
Except for the collection of statistics on the
larger scale that the general government
alone can engage in, they have no part in
the general plan of our federal government,
and attempts thus far to invest it with
these extra-constitutional functions have
been in the main abortiye.
1t remains to be seen whether, after the
old barnacles are cleared out of these de
partments, the rats and lice expelled, the
premises fumigated and new mel
put in charge, new measures and new
methods will vindcate the establish
ment of the bureaus themselves. We ar,
doubtful of the experiment at its best. Th
simple Democratic processes of govern
nent limited to constitutional powers, fo
constitutional purposes, will rid the fedora
| government of vast number of placeme
| quartered on it, in places simply created +
| pension party workers. Lay the axe I

JoHN Il. GAME, in a letter to the New
York Tribune, makes a good point when he
cites the third section of the Edmunds anti
poygamy act as follows:
That if any male person. in any territory
or other place over which the United States
have exclusive jurisdiction, hereafter cohab-
its with more than one woman, he shall be
deemed guilty OF misdemeanor, and on con
viction thereof shall be punished by a fine OF
not moro than $500, or by imprisonment for
not more than six months. or by both said
punishments, I'm the discretion OF the court.
Mr.. Caino and his Mormon friends are en-
tirely reasonable when they maintain that as
this law applies to all the territories and the
District of Columbia, il should be enforced
az vigorously in Washington as in
Salt Lake City, against Gentiles as
well as Mormons, upon Eastern saints
as well rs Western sinners. Says Mr..
Caine, "the government furnishes money
TO spy out the domestic relations of Mormons
suppose it was to supply money to spy on
the 'unl awful cohabitation' OF -Mornons
who would get the worst OF il; who would
howl the loudest, Morinons or non-MOr
mons ?" The answer is obvious. II this
law were to be enforced relentlessly for on,
day in Washington it would disclose and
punish more crime than in a months eXecu
ton of ii In Utah.

A Sign Board,

At this time, when Pennsylvania is agi-
tated over the settlement of the question
as to whether its constitution or its corpo-
rations shall he supreme, the observations
of the Detroit Ereuing Nc,os upon the
late elections in Michigan are pregnant
with interest and Importance. According
to that authority there was full vote and
lively interest in the election. Its result
cannot be charged to Republican apathy or
indifference. But there had been popular
discussion of the growing power of the
commonwealth chartered creatures, and
of the danger TO popular rights from the
aggressions of centralized money power
Judge Cooley, excellent man and able ju-
rist that he is, stood as the representative
and friend of those interests against the
influences which would check their aggres-
sions and curb their powers. Upon this
issue he was beaten and the result is q
finger board in this part of the country.

Three Injured by a Premature n,a.t

At the Beechwood colliery of the Phila-
delphia a Reading company, three miles
from Pottsville, John Ryan, a miner, fired
shot on Tuesday without giving the proper
notice. A number of hands in the shute and
gangway were probably fatally injured.
John Donovan, single, living at Mount
Loffee Benjamin Moore, married, resi-
dent of York Tunnel John Shannigan
married, residing at Mine Hill Gap.
The injured men We're taken To their homes
in the colliery ambulance, and work was
suspended for the day. The premature ex-
plosion was piece of inexcusable careless
ness on the part of Ryan, and very bitter
feeling prevails against him.

Plain ms q PikestaY.

The supreme court Of Pennsylvania has
decided that Judge Meyers, of Northamp-
ton county, being older in commission than
Judge Reeder, is To be president Judge of
that district, Notwithstanding Judge
Reeder was elected to take the place of a
man who was president judge when his
term expired.
The decision sustains the action of the
governor, the judgment of his attorney
general, the constitution of the state and
the decencies and proprieties of the situa-
tion involved. That Judge Reeder did not
better know the plain law of his case was
IN itself very good proof that he ought not

lifhp fails.

The Philadelphia Press relates that
s'when Congressman Scott, of Erie, was
told by Secretary Of State Bayard to file
the papGs of one of his constituents who
was IL applicant for consulship, he re-
pl;d that he had filed check for $25, 900
last fall to help elect the administration
and that was all the papers he intended to
file."
This is not very credible story.
The language quoted is not that which a
congressman-elect would likely use TO a
secretary of state nor which gentleman
desiring an appointment from self-respect-
ing ADMINISTRATION would employ to Sc
cure it.
An individual who gives s25, 900 to a
campaign of his party is entitled to some
consideration from its elect, not because
he is ADLER to give a large sum of money
than many others who are quite as willing
and who render services beyond calculation
in dollars and cents, but because it shows
that he takes deep interest in party sue
cess and in public affairs.
1t is a mistaken notion, however, to sup
pose that by such contribution he gets a
mortgage on the party and its offices, and
that when he files his check he files Il lien
that he can foreclose at any time and COM
pei an administration to appoint men
at his beck and nod, regardless of
the considerations upon which it makes
other appointments. This was the practice
under the Grant regime. A Democratic
administration that would cOuntenance
such purse-proud arrogance would soon
sink to its level beneath load Of deserved
party odium and public contempt.
1t is not at all likely that Mr.. Scott was
ever SO far forgetful of himself, of his duty
to the public and of the respect due to the
administration, as to indulge in the speech
ascribed to him by reckless and partisan
Republican organ.

We cannot, however we go into the subject now,

in an informal fashion, long before the Doctor

WHEN the elevated railroads were built In
Now York il was thought that the problem
of rapid transit had been forever solved.
But il appears that this solution has not been
concluded, but only postponed. 1t has been
found that during the hours Of crowded
travel the elevated cars are unable to accom-
modate those who wish to use them. More
over, the New Yorker has come to regard the
IL miles an hour travelled by tho elevated
trains ~ not much more than jogging along.
II is claimed that with increase Of population
must come increased inconveniences such as
described, and hence 1t is that the Arcade
railway scheme which contemplates an un.
derground passage through the streets is
looked upon by many with great favor. A
bill 10 facilitate this method Of transit had
passed both Houses of tho New York legisla-
turo and il il now in the governors hands
1t should be carefully considered by him
before signing it to see whether the people or
simply corporation are 10 derive any Of the
possible benefits that may arise out of il.
