A spolLs-sluNTlNe eeeNzy

We are assured by the EVENING
JOURNAL that Messrs Bayard. GRAY,
Wolcott and Robinson ara ia favor OF
the Five Commissioners bill. and we
know Of no reason for disbelieving it's
statement. But it Is because they
are thought to be well disposed
toward the bill that the people desire to
know In particular why they are in favor
Of t.-Morning News.
Mr.. Bayard and Mr.. Gray both dellv-
cred admirable speeches here last fall.
stating calmly .and cogently why the
Levy Court system should be change d
and how 1t should be done.
Mr.. Baysrd m ads particularly careful
and instructive speech showing the fnan
cial condition Of the state aud county
under Democratic administration, and
proving that there vas no other Cause Of
complaint than that ths methods we're
old fashioned and cumbersome but there
had been no extravaganza or dishonesty
Senator Higgins In hia peculiar twang
made fierce aud thoroughly character
istie speech Of declamatory defamation
against the Levy Court
n the editor Of the News had heard
any of these speeches he would not now
ask why for those two distinguished
Democrats explained and Senator Higgins
loudly declalmed why"
II the editor had been there he would
have known more than he seems or cares
TO know now. His "Moses" and the
Democratic prophets explained the reason
why nine months ago, hence il the poor
begging, crlnging. pitiabis and contsmp-
tible political sinners are writhing in
torture now lest they be turned out Of
office and compelled to work for living
that Is no evidence that they would be
any better satisfied though some spirits
rose from the dead TO warn them to re-
pent now.
The people do know why the Demo
Gratis determined two years ago to change
the system Of county government.
The demand Of Spruance, Hastings and
the Morning News that Bayard, Gray.
Wolcott and Robinson should explain
again and again what they have often
explained before Is absurd. The demean
that these sensible, earnest and self
respecting cltlzsns should demand
themselves to discuss the ques
tion whether Governor Reynolds
should appoint commission Of Repub-
lican partisans, selected to suit the nice
tastes Of Bach and MahafFy, 70 carry ont
Democratic reforms determined upon
two years ago, shows that the editor OF
the News is 10 fair way to 60 to a
lunatic asylum.
The proposition is intrinsically sense ]
less, silly and undignifed. II could not
have been propouuded except by set Of
men who were beside themselves with
the frenzy Of political spoils-huntiug.
Evening journal., 1891-04-11

IT should be remembered that il is not
necessary 10 treat the Five Commission
ers bill as party measure in order TO
get rid Of the Levy Court system Of this
county Morning News
Then why demand thst Governor Rey-
nolds shall not be allowed to appoint
commissioners favorable to the reform
rather than force Republican partisaus
into commission pledged to nEllify the
reform2 It is customary and proper that
commissioners should be appointed That
is almost universally Dose when new
law is adopted It is a piece Of absurd and
hypocritical partiaanship for the
Republican managers TO beg the Demo-
cratic legislators to construct partisan
commission that will kill the reforms
they are striving to promote. The
greater part Of the energy and patriot
ism Of the noble, ancient and honorable
Democratic party is necessarily devoted
to putting the degenerated Republicans
out and keeping them out OF Office That
il the only way to preserve the free insti
tutions Of this grand little common
wealth and to transmit them to posterlty
without the taints which the blight
Ing touch Of decayod Republloanism puts
upon everything 1t comes in contact
with under the corruption Of Qusyism,
the hypocricy Of Harrlsonism, and the
coarse and brutal unf4irness Of Reedism
It Is the chief mission Of the Democratic
party TO defend the country from the
iniqaity, extravaganza and resklessness
Of the Republican party, which has
degenersted from the leadership Of
Lincoln and Sumner to the control Of
Quay and Reed in national affairs and to
the manlpulations Of Bach and Mahaffy
In local nFAirs.
Evening journal., 1891-04-11

charters which, granted In the early
days Of charters, are too liberal, and the
new companies naturally fearful Of being
too modest, have been asking for similar
extravagant charter rights. This has
provoked heated controversy and some
recrimination, but they are not mad
enough to lose any money. IL is against
public policy TO create monopolies. and
because former legislatures erred in that
respect, when it was not esteemed mat
ter Of importance to the people, is an
argument, but not a convincing Of con-
elusive one that the new companies should
demand similarly unwlse legislation and
unwarranted privileges Ii the com
panies could not agree upon some
equitable compromise, then the old
charters should be annulled and new oaes
granted giving equal privileges to all
companies and making similar require
ments and pntiing similar restrictions
upon all Of them
It is the interest Of the citizens to
have cheap and good lights, and cheap,
ample and convenient street railway
transportation.
Impartial citizens should interest
themselves TO those ends; the stockhold
ers OF the respective companies do not
need any sympathy and the officers do
not need any assistance They are not
losing any sleep Or any money.

Il is strange that any private citizens.
not stockholders, should become parti-
sans for either Of the two gas companies
On either Of the two street railway COM
panies.
To such citizens they all stand on the
same footing. They sll expect to charge
the citizens enough in return for illumi-
mating gas and tram-way transportation
to pay their expenses and realize hand
some profit on their investment besides.
They are not proposing to bestow any
benefits, accommodations, or conven-
iences upon the citizens for which they
do not expect to be paid more or less
amply according to the advantage
they can take Of legislative leniency o.
Of the marvellous patience Of a free but
careless people. They are here one sand
all to make money and TO give as little in
return for the charges they exact ant
the charter privileges and franchises
they obtain as possible
There may be some slight modification
Of that cold-blooded purpose in regard {,

spectsd citizens and necessarily from per

interested in the progress Of the city an,
welfare Of the citizens, but those tie

not IN the majority and they, too, ar
anxious for dividends.
