Middletown Transcript.
The Five Commissioners bill has passed
the House and will pass the Senate as
SOON as all the members Of that body are
able to attend to business On account OF
the sickness of Senator Williams and the
absence Of Senator Hall. who has lost
two vessels within a week, the Senate
stands four Republicans aud three Demo
Gratis AS the Republican caucus bas de-
cided that the Five Commissioners bill
must be killed this absence OF Demo
cratic majority st this particular time Is
bad state of affairs. The sentiment
which has been aroused against he bill
now before the Legislature is
agrely traceable to the in
fneuce of certain newspapers now
enjoying official patronage directly de-
pendent upon q maintenance OF the pres
eut system and il is also noticeable that
those politicians who are opposing it are
those directly interested from a pecuniarv
point of view. On such subject as this
it Is almost impossible for the people
who do not take an active part Ia the dis
cussion Of county affairs TO get correct
information. There are persons in this
county who believe that nothing GOOD
can come Of Democratic reform, but we
msy ask with perfect sincerity where
any reform has originated in this
county except from Democrats.
Those persons who fnd fault with the
County Executive Committee becsuse the
members Of that body have endeavored
to provide the means TO carry out and

that men are judged by their deeds, and

THERE is not a city or county In
the United States which is governed on
Utopian principles. Utopia is dream
OF impossible perfection No city govern
ment is free from dishonesty, thieving
and ineo npstence among its servants
II is not useless or wrong to try to secure
and promote a good system Of govern
ment executed and administered BY
vlrtuous and patriotic men and 1t is not
well 20 be hopeless, because those ends
are not acquired every time they are
sought. Coed government IS the result
Of increasing intelligence and eternal
vigilance. Men are often selfish even If
they are not igoorant aud from these the
trouble and tho faults with self
government proceed. But the
government Of the people and by the
people is the best system that has ever
besn devised by man, and that Is what
we have on trial here It is a system
which causes much trouble and presents
many faults, but, In spite Of them it is
the best, purest, iustest aud NEST
equitable system ia Chrlstendom. It's
troubles and its faults are chiefly the
results Of the csrelessness and neglect of
the wise and intelligent classes
who shirk the duties of all
good citizens and allow them
to be done only by those who have selfish
purposes TO accomplish We cannot
abandon the principles Of self govern
ment; we must make the principle more
effective. The statesman like
sculptor, must use the mud and the
