forceg reform

A MAJORITY of the Council and aldermen
have shown disposition to act literally in
regard to the Improvement of Garfield Park,
and at the same time, with due regard to the
city's finances and the proper disposition Of
the sum appropriated. A good deal can be
done With $4,000 in the way of improving
the park, or it can be frittered away and
wasted according as it is wisely handled or
not. Whatever is done should be done sys-
tematically and in accordance with an intelli-
gent plan of permanent improvement. There
seems to be disposition in some quarters to
regard the appropriation as sort of grab, to
be disbursed as fast as possible for somebody's
benefit and behoof. without much regard to
the improvement Of the park or the interests
of the public. The cautious action of the
Council and aldermen gives assurance that
this will not be permitted. Tlle provision for
an advisory committee of citizens, for the
employment of an expert to prepare plans
and for the supervision Of the work by the
city engineer are all in the right direction.
In matter OF this kind it is wise to make
haste slowly

SPECIAL PENSION LEeTsLATIoE.


Representative Cheadle, of this State, di-
rected his maiden speech in the House against
a growing evil, and seems to have fairly hit
the mark he aimed at. Special legislation Of
any kind is open to very strong objections on
general principles. Congress is elected to
legislate for the general welfare, and only IN
der rare and exceptional circumstances should
its attention be diverted frcm this object.
Yet it is diverted in large degree, and more
and more every year. It Is getting so that 2
large part Of every session Of Congress the
time of committees and of the House is
taken up in considering and passing private
bills. 1t is almost safe to say that claim
which cannot be covered and embraced by
general law il not entitled TO the considera-
ton Of Congress. Certain it is that many of
the private bills which are passed are of very
doubtful merit. These objections lie against
all special legislation. The particular evil
against which Mr.. Cheadle Hpoke is open to
other objections The bill before the House
was one granting a pension of 800 per
month to the widow of General Ricketts,.
Mr.. Cheadle protested against the bill first
general principles, and second because it
was an unjust discrimination in favor of gen.
eral officers as against those of lower rank and
private soldiers. He argued that such legis-
lation in favor of the widows Of general
officers was not only opposed to the spirit of
our institutions, but unjust to the widows of
those who fought on foot and died in blue
blouses. He was right. Congress has gone
too far already in the matter of granting
special pensions, and it is time to call halt.
MIR. Cheadles protest came none too soon.
The spirit of our government is opposed to
special pension list of any kind, civil or mill
tary. The general pension laws should be
made broad and liberal enough to cover all
meritorious cases, and thers should be no
favored ones. In the early years of the gov
eminent legislation of this character IN
heard of, but within few years considera-
BILE advance has been made toward establish
ing the precedent and recognizing the princi-
pie of granting special pensions to the widows
of officers, and in some cases annuities to
those of civilians. There should be no aris-
tocracy or favoritism in the pension business
The claim of the widow of deceased general
is not entitled to any other or higher consider
alton than that of corporal or private.

The presence in the city of large number
Of Washington ofice-holders, just at this
time, is likely to give rise to the impression
that they came to take part in the Democrat
ic convention Of Thursday. Perhaps this i'm
preston is erroneous; they may have come to
visit their relatives; they may be here to take
a last farewell of Sim Coy before he goes to
Michigan City; they may want to look at the
city stable on Circle street, or to get q Whit
of indianapolis dust or they raay have drift
ed here from force of habit. At any rate
they are here, and there is an awful possibil-
ity that, led away by temptation, they may
become perniciously active Animated,
therefore, by the kindest motives, and de-
sire to keep them from the dangers of parti-
san course on this occasion, the Journal here
with calls their attention to letter written
by President Cleveland July IA, 1886, and
which may have slipped their memories.
Whether or not the document shall act as a
restraining order on them III the hour of
temptation. the journal will still have the
proud consciousness that it has done its duty.
The letter reads as follows:
Il deem this proper time to especially
warn all subordinates in the several depart
ments and all ofice-holders un der the general
government against the use of their official
positions in attempts to control political
movements in their localities. Office holders
are the agents of the people, net their masters.
They have no right as ofice-holders,
to dictate the political action of their party
associates, TO throttle freedom of action
within party lines by methods and practices
which prevent every useful and justifable
purpose of party organization. The influence
of federal office-holders should not be felt in
the manipulation of political primary meet
ings and nominating conventions. The use
by these officials of their positions to compass
their selection as delegates to political con-
ventions is indecent and unfair, and proper
regard for the proprieties and requirements of
official place will also prevent their assuming
the active conduct of political campaigns.

IT is to be expected, as intimated by Alderman
Laut, that the men who have been engaged in
the business of street sprinkling by private
contract will oppose the plan of placing the
matter under city control. When the sprink-
ling question was aeitated in st. Louis last year
violent opposition to the proposed change of sys-
tenn was made by contractors who had long had
monopoly of the business. It was with an APP
psarance of great plausibility that they declared
the cost of the work 10 be so great that the pub
lie treasury could not afford it, and an imposing
array of figures was brought out TO support their
statements. A little experiment and investiga-
ton, however. proved that sprinkling could be
done at a much lower rate than the cost to pri-
vate citizens which had been the basis of their
calculations. An enormous percentage of profit
had been reaped under the old system, and it
was entirely natural that the contractors should
prefer to have it remain in force. Composition
and disclosure of the facts soon brought them
TO reasonable terms, and it found that all
the streets could be sprinkled at total cost not
greatly exceeding the amount paid by individual
contributions for laying the dust in portions of
the city
