MIR. Walter scott ut the meeting of the
san Pedro Political club last night, made
the assertion that there were no indie
pendent newspapers in the town; that
the LiGnr used to be independent, but
Of late it would not publish certain
things for fear Of losing nickel. The
fact with Mr.. Scott is that after the
LlGnr had given him column after col
umn of space. he wrote an article in
which he lampooned Colonel Belknap
without end, simply because the Colonel
had expressed his opinions in open
Council on "A question in which the pub
lie had no great interest, because 1t has
never since been alluded to, either in or
out Of the City Council. Whenever men
get up in meetings and abuse news
papers it can generally be set down that
the papers have refused to be party to
their personal and private schemes.

Minerxa.gaye her a terrible "cusslng" in
the church and wanted to thrash her
within an inch of her life. A colored
man standing by offered $3.50, and the
treats to the one that whipped. Sue
didn't want to fight and Minnie did. and
ohoked Sue and struck her over the
head. Sue then asked for pocket

parties stopped it. The Recorder set

The State Department has probably put it's
foot in it by sending accredited delegates to
the Congo conference at Brussels. Such a
step is very decided departure from the long
established usage of the country. The New
York Sun says '1tis clear that Mr.. Freling-
huysen has given Bismarck a long-sought op-
portunity of making his power felt upon this
continent, where he can count upon the
jealous cooperation of his European neigh
bors, who have seen with satisfaction the OBJ
structive Monroe doctrine virtually disavowed
by our performance at Brussels"

THE Te1e Haute Gazette, Democratic, in
an editorial discussing the adoption, by the
Council of that city, of an ordinance providing
for non partisan police force, says of the
metropolitan bill, under which Indianapolis
and Evansville are deprived Of any control of
their police, though taxed to pay for it:
''To legislative metropolitan police bill for
Terre Haute there is an insuperable objection,
in the opinion of this paper. That objection
is that it takes away from the citizens and tax
payers the management of an important
branch of the home government. Having
more interest in their home affairs than any
other people living anywhere else, and de-
cidedly more interest in them than any set of
State officers ever yet elected, or likely to be
elected, the people Of this city are better able
to manage them than any others. Besides they
would regard the taking away from them of
this function of government as ali intolerable
reflection upon their intelligence their hon
esty and their patriotism. Even if the system
worked well, it would not be as agreeable as if
we were doing it ourselves, and if it worked
ILL the politics of the State of Indiana would
have to be revolutionized in order to remedy a
local evil. That would be very serious un-
dertaking and great waste Of energy and
lack of sense as a doctor would display if he
amputated limb to get rid of boil"

For the first time in $50 years no election
sermon" was preached at the organization of
the present Massachusetts, Legislature. The
custom had been falling into disrepute for
some time very few members giving them
selves the trouble to listen 70 the discourses
annually delivered; nevertheless it was not
abolished, mainly for the reason that after a
sermon was once preached no one thought of
it for twelve months. Last year, however,
proved an exception. The clergyman chosen
by Governor Butler to deliver the address
took it upon himself to handle the Legislature
without gloves, or in John Sullivan Bostonese,
to ''bounce" them. His remarks gave such
offense Chat an act was passed before the hear
ers' anger cooled, abolishing the custom alto
gether. This week an organization was
effected with no other religious preliminary
than plain prayer. The first election SER
mon was preached by Rev. John Cotton, in
1884, and was directed against rotation in
Office his object being to secure the re-
election of Governor Winthrop.

fees in public offices should be counteracted
by well-digested and equitable salary law.
The propriety of such law, to apply to all
officers hereafter to be elected, cannot be gain
said. In the most emphatic manner the
people of the State have said it was their de-
sire that this should be enacted.
The message is too full and complete for US
to make recapitulation Of all its points. We
have alluded to some of the more important
only. There are two points upon which legis
lation is specially needed: One is the inaug-
uration of some system for the government
of the benevolent institutions of the State,
whereby they may be taken entirely out of
partisan control, ndparticularly wrested from
their present disgraceful management. I'm
der President Harrison the boards have brought
themselves under general execration; so gen.
eral, indeed, that not few of the
better class Of Democrats are as vigorous in
condemnation as any one. The other is
the appointment of non partisan board of
visitors for all the State institutions, through
which there can be access between the inside
of all of them and the outside world-not
alone when they are swept and garnished for
official investigation, but at all times and at
unexpected times, so that whatever misman-
agement and abuses there may be can be
brought to light and speedily remedied: This
is to the last degree important to the credit
and honor of the State.
AS we have said, the message is one that
will increase the respect in which Governor
Porter is held by the people, and is another
evidence of the careful and painstaking meth
DDS which have characterized his administra-
ton of the gubernatorial office.

THE PHILADELPHIA Times saws:

''The evils of loose and improperly drawn leg
islation are patent to every intelligent man.
The proper remedy is not so obvious. Govern
or Hill recommends the creation Of new
officer, to be known as Legislative Counsel,
whose business it shall be to draw bills at the
request of any member of the Legislature and
to inspect all bills before their final passage
in order to detect and point out errors and
imperfections in time to have them corrected
before the bills are sent to the executive for
approval. Tho objection to this plan is that
it increases the number of officials at State
capitals and divides the responsibility
which properly belongs to the Legislature. A
better plan would seem to be one suggested
by Governor Porter, of Indiana, some years
ago. He recommended the appointment of a
joint committee of three Of the best lawyers
in each house. to be called the committee on
phraseology, to whom all bills should be re-
ferred for such verbal corrections as would
prevent sharp attorney from driving a coach
and four through them after they became
laws. This plan would involve no extra ex-
pense and is easily available in all legislative
bodies. There are lawyers enough and to
spare in every Legislature. By this method
some of them could be made useful"

IT will not help the future at all for rail
in stiff-necked and perverse spirit. 1t is
probable that the Reagan bill will not pass
the Senate, but some law whereby the
railways can be brought under measure of
direct responsibility to the public
is as certain as fate. The ma
iority of the Senate seems to favor
the commission bill, and that will probably be
substituted for the Reagan measure, when the
whole'subject will 60 to q conference COM

sets and Illinois have State Boards of Com
missioners, which have worked fairly well.
England has system of regulation and con-
troll which has also been of advantage. Our
own Judgment leans to the commission feat
ure, with powers similar to those possessed
by the British board, the presidenG of which
is member of the government, and which
steps in between possible corporate exaction
and monopoly and the individual, with the
power of law and of all the people. Railway
managers will show their wisdom if they
lend their Judgment and experience to the
development of some practical system-for
something will be tried. 1t may be tenta-
tive, :.and very crude; but the end will be
a permanent plan of control in which all
interests will be properly conserved. The
only question is whether this shall be
reached more speedily and safely with the CO.
operation of railway managers, or slowly, and
with more or less danger, over their sullen or
active opposition.

beveled edge of the combination lock, just the
right distance, hole not over a third of an
inch in diameter. Into this hole they had in
serted a knife blade, or some other handy nipple
ment, and then, by careful manipulation in
turning the handle, were enabled to catch the
combination and open the safe, without any
