Municipal Government.

The Philadelphia Ledger, thoughtful
and eonsiderate journal, has come to the
conclusion, after much study, that. "as a
rule, the government Of all our cities Is
bad Men of acute perceptions and an
alytical minds are painting for something
higher and better than the existing order
of things Some of them, it is to be feared,
are yearning after the unattainable, and
indulging in utopian day-dreams. Man
himself, although he stands at the head OF
creation, is an imperfect being, and all that
emanates from his hands is imperfect like
himself. 1t is doubtful if any Of the devo-
tees of moral. social and civil reform, could
institute a system that would be wholly and
entirely satisfactory to themselves, after a
practicalt test. This should not. however, pre-
vent judicious efforts at amendment, for 1t
must be acknowledged, after all, that pro-
gress has been made, and, as perfection has
not been attained, greater progress is In store
for persistent and untiring effort. The
world does move, not only upon its axis,
but in thought and sentiment, rising to
higher and better plane. 1t will scarcely
be denied, even by the most cynical, that
the world grows wiser and better as it grows
older. Even city governments feel the re-
generating impulse, and we may expect
them to throw off their "bad" character, If
not in the near future; at least Sin the sweet
by-and-by"

The Silver Question.

"The Democrats are anxious to ignore
the silver question in the next Presidential
campaign, but they cannot ignore the re-
cord they have made cencerningit, says the
Sentinel. The Democracy has made no
record on the silver question, in national
sense, but the Sentinel need not have any
misgivings as to the Democratic position.
The party will declare for an honest dollar
when the time comes-a dollar of one hun
bred cents, gold and silver, the money ofthe
constitution. The Democracy of the coun-
try is no more to be held responsible for
the utterances of few Of its prominent
members than is the Republican party for
the views of Senators Stewart and some
half dozen other Republican United States
Senators. When Senator German, as the
Democratic leader, led the party in the
Senate to vote to take up the silver free
coinage bill, it was only move on the
boards to kill the infamous Force bill
The Democrats knew that the silver bill
would provoke long discussion, and they
were fighting for time. Even had the bill
passed it was certain to have met with u
veto, and had the Force bill passed Harri-
son would have affixed his signature to it
before the ink got dry. The Administra-
ton had staked its all on that measure, as
means of prolonging Republican ascen-
dancy through partisan election machine
ry. The Democrats would have voted to
take up any measure in order to kill
the Force bill, for there was none on the
calendar fraught with one-tenth the evil
as this measure.
In the next campaign tariff reform will
be the chief issue. This will be the ques-
ton upon which the people will divide, and
the silver question will be of secondary con-
sideration. Upon the latter three-fourths
of the people are practically united, and
there are not enough voters in either party
in favor of free silver coinage to put free
silver plank in either platform.

they were strongly felt in thirty one provin

Shocks continued to be felt up to Novem-

ally increased, while their intensity dimin-
