the men who have made the rest OF the bill.
II needs no study to assure voters of practical
common sense that the Free Traders bill Is
not bill designed for the protection OF nome
| industries.
A severe blow has been dealt to the Boston
| Alderman We don't know inst how 1t is with the
Alderman Of the cultured city OF the East, but In
| this ncighborhood officials OF this class are so
| in the habit of being humliated that they do not
mind it greatly In Boston, though, this stroke may
| fall with stunning effect. The Supreme Court
Of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, has Just
granted an injunction restraining the city from
| raying the Aldermen's bills for hack hire on
| Decoration DAY and another occasion when the
modern Athens made holiday In other words, the
| Aldermen have had their fun and now they nave
| got to pay for it out Of their own pockets.
| The contingent fund, or its equivalent, CANNOT
| hereafter be drawn when the City Fathers WISH
to have quiet little iunhet We trust that the
Boston Aldermen will submit to the inevitable
gracefully and take the lesson to heart Inc
principle is a sound one Boston, or rather the
Massachusetts court has set an excellent example,
and other cities might well profit thereby
Our esteemed Civil Service yawpers of four
wears ago have received with profound silence The
| TRIBUNE's overwhelming exposure OF President
Clevelands population of his pledges to them and
| the country Why do they not speak up In de-
fence of the best type Of the highest Amercanism
since Lincoln" Is it because we took good care
to muzzle them in advance by quoting their own
| denunciatons Of the Administrations abandon
mont of Civil Service Reform? They must pardon
us for reminding them that their party and their
candidate have belied every reform profession they
have ever made.
| Revond question: Washington Territory is en-
titled to be admitted to the Union as State Ana
we see no objection to taking in along with it four
| counties of Idaho, which Nature seems to have
intended to belong to Washington rather than It's
neighbor. But there is one thing that ought to
| nc insisted on Washington" will not be good
| name for State. There are enough washington
| cities and towns and counties already, ana IL
would be positively too confusing to have this Tor
| the name of a State. To change it would mean
no disrespcct to the Father of his Country. NOW
| is the time to make the change, il ever. Leu inc
| TERRITORY when admitted, be admitted under q
| name possessing some local significance. Inc
people of Washington may prefer their present
title but their voice is not necessarily decisive III
such n matter. The rest of us have something to
saw and Congress may wisely give heed to the de-
mand for change that will be desirable on many
grounds.
