DUTY OF THE CITIZEN TO HIS CITY

Mr.. f. l.. Goodkin, in the North Ameri-
can Rerie,c for June, has done good serv-
ice in his paper on Criminal Politics" by
calling public thought to consideration of
municipal obligations of citizens. Thus he
enunciates an automatic truth when he says
that the objects Of municipal corporation
are to supply the inhabitants of certain
locality with certain conditions of physical
health and comfort, plus the education of
their children. 'The work is paid for by
an annual subscription, and the executive
officers are elected by general vote. If
there be in this world plain moral obi
cation, it is the obligation which rests on
every inhabitant to use his vote in elect
ing these officers solely in the common
interest of himself and his neighbor."
We take it that there is not extant
simpler. more understandable statement of
what the duty of a people in municipal
corporation is. The one oyershadowing
and altogether sufficient consideration in
city government should be the attainment
of the greatest comfort and prosperity at
the least cost, irrespective of political con-
tentions and ambitions. The policies of
municipal corporation should be those re-
lating to economic administration to the
health, refinement, safety and happiness Of
the people; the suppression of vice; the
punishment of crime, and the conservation
of legitimate industry. Why, under such
standard, should there be any political,
that is to say, any party contention?
Mr.. Goodkin, addressing himself to the
inhabitant Of city, declares that he has
not the moral right to use his voice or vote
in municipal conduct for his own individ-
ual interest, or the interest Of somebody
not dwelling in or owning property in the
municipality. To do so, he declares, is a
breach Of trust, and he adds:
The more poor, or ignorant, or helpless neigh
,ors The inhabitant of municipal corporation
Sss the more solemn is the obligation which
esfs on him to use his superior intelligence for
tha;r hencft He has no rixhs TO let them be

himself in any event, he is not going to trouble
himself about the plight of those who have
neither knowledge enough nor money enough
to protect themselves against fraud. He has no
right to shut his eyes to dirty streets elsewhere
because he can afford to keep his own street
clean by private contract, and has country
house where he spends half the year. He has
no right to surrender the poor to corrupt or ig-
police the country affords. In short, he has no
right to live an absolutely selfish life in the city
any more than in the country at large. Patri-
national obligations, and, in fact, makes duty
to the municipality far clearer to the PLAIN man
than duty to the nation.

SAN FRANCISCO, April H.-Accor,iing
TO the prophesy of Mrs. Woodworth,
George Erickson and several other rcviv-
alists who created considerable excite
ment i'm Oakland some time ago, this was
the day on which San Francisco and Oak
land were TO be destroyed by an earth
quake and tidal wave, and the cities of
Chicago and Milwaukee were to suffer
the same calamity. There has been no
indications Of any commissions Of nature
here, but the "Doom-scalcrs," as they
have been termed. held their faith up Ia
the last moment. Several hundred per-
SONS who became believers In the predic-
tions have been leaving Oakland for high
ground during the past week or two and
they were encamped on hills near Santa
Rose, st. Helena and Vacavillc holding
religious services and waiting for news oi
the destruction.

SINGULAR TALE0F CRIME
Confession Of a Copenhagen Soap Maker
to 4 Horrible Murder.
The Remains Packed In a Barrel
and Shipped to Racine
Found In the Custom
House.

New YoRK, April 1i.-A Copenhagen
cable a few days ago told of the horrible
murder OF a factory messenger some time
ago by one Philipson, n soarmaker, who
confessed and said he strangicd the
messenger for the money he was carrying
and packed the body In barrel OF lime
which he shipped to a fictitious name at
Racine, Wisconsin. IL Is now learned
that the barrel arrived here on the steam
ship Thingvald on February 4. II was
shipped and the charges paid by "Mr.
smith, and consigned to Bercsford
Bros, Racine, Wells, Fargo q Co. being
named rs forwarlcrs. The cask was sent
to the appraisers office where the head
was taken of and little OF the contents
examined, having the resemblance Of
plaster of Paris. The cask was then re-
headed and set aside with q duty fixed at
$50. The express company wrote To
Racine and learned that there was no
such firm there. Word was then sent tn
"Mr. Smith" in Copenhagen, but of
course }lo reply was received. When
Philips4n's confession was made known
the authorities cabled the Danish consul
here, and the cask was examined by Gus
toms officials. The body was found In IL
in fair state Of preservation, though
those who opened the cask were driven
away before more than one hand and the
side OF the face had been uncovered. IL is
not yet known what disposition will he
made Of il.

have the news cir culated among the re
