Because the Herald suggested that the
council might not confirm Mayor Broatchs
appointments as clerks and judges of cleo
tion, The BEE declares 1t to be an effort TO
incite lawlessness and anarchy. Is it an
archy to decline to confirm the appointment
OF a mayors heelers and strikers i-HerdM
Refusing TO confirm is one thing, and
refusing TO consider is another. The
Herald was well aware that plot had
been hatched in Ed Maurer's saloon,
which for months has been the resort Of
boodlers, contractors and conspirators
against law and order in this city, that
councilmen should disobey the call
for special meeting of the
council to consider tho mayors
nominations for judges aud CLERKS
of election. BY staying away and re-
fusing to consider these appointments
the selection of judges aud clerks was
to be left to mobs Of mercenaries and
gangs of street-sweepers, PAYERS and
graders, who lived promiscuously all
over the city, many of whom notoriously
are not voters.
The effect of this plot was nothing
llDIC w ltSS blluH w lllOD
rule, riot and anarchy. Does the Herald
pretend to justify such plotsY Does it
pretend that the mayor was at
fault in asking the council to
pass upon the judges and clerks NOM
mated by him as the charter requires?
Was not every councilman who joined
in this effort to subvert the charter,
which he had sworn to obey, guilty OF
an impeachable mlsdemeanor? Was
not every paper that encouraged such
lawlessncss melting anarchy If not,
we do not understand the meaning of
the term.
1t is our conviction that the time
has come for the mayor and
the courts to deal with 4. con-
spiracy and lawlessness in the
council without kid gloves. The resorts
whore such plotting and lawlessness are
hatched should be summarily deprived
of their licenses to sell liquor. We
have reached stage in municipal gov
ernment that demands radical treat
ment. The present council has scan
dalized the city in its defiance of law,
it's high-handed efforts to incite vio-
lence, and in catering to the most dan
gerous clements. Through this malign
influence the city has fostered and
encouraged a gang of scoundrels
whose only vocation is to hang around
two or three resorts and keep up plot
ting and scheming against the public,
the mayor and all officers who are try
ing to protect the city against outlawry.
1t is about time that these nests of COR
ruption be brokeu up, and we call upon
the Herald to join THE BEE in its effort
to uphold good government. Politics
is out of the question. If the republican
mayor is trying to do his duty fearlessly,
he should not be obstructed by any re-
putable citizen Or newspaper.

If it be asked who are the greatest
land-grabbers in America, the question
must be answered unreservedly, the
railroads. Since the advent of Mr..
Cleveland's administration nearly
cighty-three million acres claimed by
railroads under land grants as aids to
construction have been forfeited by
them for failure to fulfil the terms of
their contracts. There are moreover
6hits pending in the courts and bills
Ebw Lbefors- congress praying for
ehe restoration to the public domain
OF about fifty-fve milhon acres. If to
this total of one hundred and thirty
eight million acres to which the United
States lays claim be added the millions
OF acres which the railroads have OBJ
tanned through doubtful titles, the peo-
pie Of this country may obtain an ink
ling of the manner in which the public
domain has been despoiled OF its richest
lands.

The bulk of the message is perfunctory
document What the president has to say
upon the issue which has defeated him might
have been said in 2 third of a column. What
else he has to say is contained in the reports
of the department officials. The message
bears signs of wearness and the lassitudc
that follow defeat and of resentment agains,
the authors of that defeat, and lacks the en-
thuslasm that might have pervaded it had
not the people of the United States taken the
president at his word and limited his tenure
of Office to one term Aside from it's free
trade argument it certainly presents no point
of special interest to republicans.

THE last act in the election of presi-
dent of the United States will take pla CO
on the second Tuesday in January. On
that date the electoral college of each
state meets at its state capi tol. The
electors cast their vote for president
and vice-president, The vote is read,
certified and sealed, and three copies
are prepared, one to be taken to Wash
ington by special messenger and one
sent by mail. The secretary of state
likewise receives copy to be placed in
the archives OF the state. The business
Of the college has become mechanical
and perfunctory. The electors are no
longer free to choose whom they think
proper persons for the high office as
was intended by the fathers Of the re-
public. They are mere machines, sim
structed" delegates to register the ma
tion's choice. For all practical pur-
poses the electoral college could be
abolished. The people, by their votes
on November 9, set their seal for presi-
dent and vice-president, and the cleo
toral college Is simply survival Of an
obsolete custom.
