POLITICS In CITIES.

The recent election in Chicago illustrates
again, and most forcibly, the necessity of
eliminating party politics from municipal
government. There were five candidates
for mayor in the field and each one of them
represented political party, or faction.
The two leading candidates were pro-
nounced in their partisanship, the Demo-
cratic nominee saying he intended to have
a Democratic administration from scrub
women up, while the Republican is the rep
resentative of the most advanced wing of
his party. The Republican has been de-
clared elected, and the result will be Re-
publican administration, the good Of the
party and not the good of the
municipality being the motive which
viii actuate the executive in all
he does, Chicago will have partisan
government, and consequently a bad
government, whereas If the mayor had
been chosen by reason of his ability and in
tegrity, and without regard for his politics
or party affiliations, the administration
would have been in the interest of the peo-
pie Of tie great city.
Partisan politics has no legitimate place
in city government. None of the questions
which affect the great national parties con-
Germs the municipality, which ought to be
managed as any other corporation is man
aged, for the good Of the members, without
reference to the opinions of those members
as to matters which do not concern the
association. What is best for the local
| community should be the inquiry all the
time, and not how many Democrats can be
placed in office, or how much spoils can be
thrown to Republicans.
Mayor WAsHBURN will feel that he must
reward the men who elected him, an6
punish those who opposed him; that he
must do this regardless of the rights of the
masses and the needs of the public service
CREG1ER did this when he was mayor, and
would have continued it if he had been re.
elected.
We believe that one of these days the
people of our cities will see the evil o.
partisan politics in municipal government
and disregarding parties will aim to put the
best men in Office; and then. municipal ad
ministrations will be ADLER, purer and bet
ter generally than now.

A VIGOROUS MAYOR.

Toledo, O., has a new mayor and he
seems to be constructed on correct princi-
pies. At his Inauguration the other day he
announced that the gambling houses must
go, and within twenty-four hours every
gaming den in the city had been ralded by
the police and more than a hundred gamb-
lers placed under arrest. He didn't wait
for the enactment of new ordinances, but
proceeded under the old laws which he
found good enough for his purposes; nor
did he change the police; he simply told the
officers that they must enforce the law or
their places would be filled by others. Nor
did he order that any exceptions be made,
all gambling saloons, whether kept by per-
sonal or political friends or enemies being
in violation of the law 1t is hardly
probable that gambling will be
suppressed in Toledo, but it will not be
practiced openly. If men game they will
do it as they commit other crimes, in secret
and where they are not liable to disturb
ance by the officers.
We do not mention the Toledo incident
for the purpose Of calling attention to the
constitutional difference between the mayor
of the Ohio city and the mayor of Salt
Lake. It is said that there are a score or
more of gambling saloons in this city, where
men play night and day, and never dream
of being raided by the police. 1t is also
said that some of these places are swindling
as well as gambling dens, where men are
deliberately ''roped inn and scientifically
robbed of their money, not even
being given chance to gamble
Some people might say that inasmuch
as the proprietors of these dens voted
for the mayor and contributed literally to
his campaign fund the city's chief execu-
tive is not eager for mis- police to interfere
with their business, a sense of gratitude
inclining him in the other direction; but
lar be it from US to make such suggestion
regarding an official who never misses
going to church on Sunday. Perhaps there
are some who may think that the mayor
would close the gambling houses if he could
control his police and compel them to ex-
ecute the law, and others, in the charity of
their hearts, are willing to believe that his
honor is so truly good and pious and so in
nocent of wrong doing that he never mis-
trusts that anything like gambling is prac-
ticed in this city.
Others may contrast Toledos mayor with
Salt Lakes, but THE HERALD never.

for the purpose Of ascertaining the percent
age of increase the returns of the group OF
states are adequate.
1t has generally been supposed that the
blacks were increasing much faster than
the whites, and politicians and sociologists
have talked and written gloomily of the
time in the near future when the whites
would be the inferior race numerically in
the south and would finally be compelled
to leave, inasmuch as they could not submit
to the rule OF the blacks The census
figures do not confirm this popular opinion
on the contrary, they show that the
whites are increasing faster than the
negroes. There was an imperfect enumer-
alton in 1870, considerable percentage of
the blacks escaping the enumerators. The
census Of 1880 was more thorough as to the
negroes who therefore showed such an as
tonishing increase as to alarm the white
people whose increase had been normal.
Assuming that the count last year was as
faithful regarding one race as the other,
the whites have reason to congratulate
themselves that they are not likely to be out
mbered by the colored people. Iu 1880
the colored people in the District of Colum;
bia and the seventeen states numbered
G, 142, 1860, and in 1850 they had increased to
only 1896, 166, the increase being at the
rate Of 1890 per cent. On the other hand
the white population in these states in
creased from l3, $50, 40S in 1880 to 16, sos 205,
or at the rate Of 24.67 per cent, the in
crease being nearly twice as rapid as that
! Of the blacks.
The situation may be Illustrated in an
other way, thus: In 1880 the proportion of
whites to blacks was in the relation of
100000 to 1881, while in 1890 it was as
100000 to Il AS. In other words the col
ored race has not held it's own against the
whites, Notwithstanding the climate and
conditions are, of all those which the coun-
try affords, the best suited to the develop
ment of the black race.
The bulletin presents table showing the
white and colored population at every CEN
sus year since 1870, when the number of
colored to 100000 white was 54,25S. The
percentage of white increase was highest
between 1870 and 1850, when it amounted to
37.s9, and the lowest percentage of increase
was during the war period decade, from
1850 to 1870, when it was only 1851. There
has been an almost steady decline of the
negro percentage of increase during the
century. The blacks increased faster than
the whites only during three decades, from
1900 to 1880, when the slave trade was at its
height. The highest percentage of increase
of colored people during the past ten years
was in South Carolina, where it amounted
in that state was only 39.S2 per cent. The
white population of West Virginia in
creased during the decade 1851, and the
colored population but 4.39 per cent.
A brief study of these tables will con
vince one that there is little danger of black
supremacy in the south, Notwithstanding
the fears which some have expressed. The
negro power is steadily declining.

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.

1t would appear that the advantages to
accrue 10 tho United States from recipro-
city with Cuba will be considerable
Sugars, molasses, coffees and hides are to
have free entry into the United States. and
there is to be reduction on tea This
means cheapening Of these articles to the
American consumer. Cuba throws open
her ports, in consideration of these conces-
sions to American raw and manufactured
products, and reduction of tariff on
cereals and -four. Cuba, it is said, con-
sumes 100000 barrels of -four per annum,
for which the people Of that island have
been paying Spain SIP per bar
rel Under the reciprocity by which
American -four will be admitted
practically free of duty the price
will be reduced cue-half, while the amount
consumed will be well nigh doubled; that
Is. the consumption will reach Zoo, 900 bar

can product for Spain will be unable to
compete with us in the Cuban market. The
Same markets will be open to our wheat
beans, lard, petroleum, manufactured pro-
ducts and machinery. 1t is generally con-
the United States is owing to the fact that
our markets for farm products are insult
ficieut; that our trade is too restricted.
Opening the markets of Cuba to the farm
ers of the United States is of very great
advantage, chiefly in that it demonstrates
the advantages that are to accrue to our
people if more markets are thrown open
10 them. The Cuban market is thrown
open to us by Republican administration,
coming into power on the issue of protec-
ton: yet the best things which that admin
istration has done have been done by
6eparting from the principles it professed
end adopting under the name OF reciprocity
the principles of its opponents. What is
reciprocity but restricted free trade! And
how will the Republican party in the next
presidential election campaign reconcile
the course now being pursued with its
protective tariff principles

GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY,
People Should Live One Hundred Years and

.'To grow old gracefully" says the we'll

all With advancing years come increased in

and their presence is due to failure to keep I'D
TO their work the various organs of the body.
The study of the body by scientists furnishes
unquestionable evidence that the duration O,
the human life may be prolonged to 100 years
So says DR.. Gardner, and yet what more COM
mon than to see prematurely aged, withered
and broken down man, or a pale, weak and
emaciated old lady. The spirit is broken, ali
interest is gone from life and they look forward
only to death. The saddest thing of all is that
this premature age and breaking down is need.
less. 1t can easily be avoided by little care
and assisting nature just little, and it is upon
this point that DR.. Gardner again speaks most
clearly.
He says: Science, common sense and all ex-
perience testify to the benefits to be derived
from the use OF alcoholic stimulants" 1t
should be remembered. however, that they must
be pure and that Of all Stimulants whisky is
preferable. The word whisky is derived from
an ancient word meaning water of life," and it
is most appropriate name. although there is
so much that is unworthily in the market The
highest NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., chemists and
scientsts-agree, however, that Dufy's Pure
Malt Whisky is pure and cannot harm even a
child. Its effect is to build up the system, re-
new the life and replace weakness and weari-
ness by healthy vigor. Be very careful how

your druggist furnishing you with it and you
will certainly find great benefit from its use.

PARNELL'S DECLINE.

Slowly but surely CHARLES STEWART
PARNELL, once tho iuncrowned king of
Ireland" is sinking into contempt. Every
day almost something occurs to exhibit his
waning influence. On the evening Of the
Goth in the house of commons an amend
1nent by NoLAN-a Parnellite mem ber-to
the Irish land bill was defeated. 2O2 to 5.
Oh those five who voted in favor of the Par
nellite's amendment it was afterwards
learned that two had voted for it by mis-
take. 1t has been PARNELL's boast that
with his help government could pass the
bill, and when the vote of the Goth revealed
what mis- help amounted to. it
is not to be wondered at
that the revelation occasioned much
merriment in the commons. 1t is unfortu-
nate that PARNELL did not listen to the de-
mands of his friends and retire from pub
lie life when his unfortunate, not to say
shameful, relations with Mrs. O'SHEA
were exposed. Notwithstanding the deep
damnation of that affair, it cannot be de-
MED that PARNELL has been a splendid
leader, the wlsest and the greatest that
has stood at the head of Irish politics for
many years; and one who came nearer
bringing to Ireland that management of
her own affairs upon which her prosperity
and peace depend, than any other modern
leader, 1t must be admitted also that the
indignation which England expresses over
his relations with Mrs. O'SHEA is
very largely pretense, and in view
of the prevailing social rottenness
the once Irish leader may well ex-
press his contempt for the hypocrisy which
has been mixed up with the discussion of
that affair But when England assumes a
virtue, 1t should be remembered that she is
very exacting; at least, that outward re-
spect should be paid to it. That fact alone
should have taught MIR. PARNELL that it
was time to retreat when he was unable to
defend himself from the exposure he saw
coming. 1t is probable that that retire
ment would have been permanent: it ought
to be. for men who will desecrate the
homes of other men are not worthy of re-
spect or the honor which leadership and a
seat in a nations legislature bring: but in
that retirement, had it been voluntary, be
would have been secure from much that is
huniliating and would have carried with
him much of love from his countrymen for
his services and devotion to Ireland's cause,
and the respect of all men and parties for
his ability as leader. The present pros
pect is that he will be driven into retire
ment the shame OF his friends and the rid
ioule of his opponents.
