City Government in GERMANY

With us municipal offices are the spoiIs
of successful politicians; in Germany they
are the prizes of successful experts 1t
seems to a German as incredible to hear
of a city governed by men who are just
pauSlng on their way to some higher
place as it would be TO hear of railroad
or of a cotton mill thus superintended.
Good city administration is with US an ac-
cldent. 1t occurs because the man with
the appointing power happens To appoint
a good agent. In Germany city govern
ment Is a science as far from politics as is
the science OF engineering or architect
ure. Each salaried Alderman is RESPONSE
ble for single department, or for several
closely allied parts of the public business
lie does not serve, as do our Aldermen
on three or four scattered committees
schools, licenses and sewers-about none
of which he has any scientific knowled &c.
He is elected to his Office because OF his
knowledge and skill in a special field of
municipal work. and takes charge of that
department. Thus city work offers to a
young German s. life career, lust as rail-
roading or manufacturing does in Amer
lea. An educated man makes a special
study of water works, or building laws.
or poor relief. He learns the methods of
the best European cities. He serves his
time in the administration of some small
town, and perhaps gets place at the
head of his chosen department. in some
small city, and tries 10 make that depart
ment a model of efficiency and economy:
finally he finds the end of his profes-
sional ambition in being promoted TO the
same work in one of the great cities of
the Kingdom Here he has place OF
dignity in the social world, and, if sue
cessful, holds life office, with the as
surance OF pension for himself and fam

Social Life i'm Cbicapo.

Although disguised with all the appllr-
tenances of luxury and beauty in house
decoration and expensive and beautiful
dress, Puritan New England lives again
in the large and representative element
which rules Chicago society, writes Mrs.
Reginald de koven in the Ladies Home
J0uT1tdt. Thus it happens that the social
atmosphere of this great, rushing West
ern city in its higher circles is purer and
clearer in its toEe-it is safe to say-tban
that OF any other city of equal size in the
history of the development of civilization.
1t has passed into proverb that divorce
is easy and frequent in Chicago. but the
fact is that only three divorce cases of
people known to the world of society
have been known i'll the history of the
city. The old lines of duty to the domes-
tic relations are intiexibly adhered to.
and less countenance given to an easier
Interpretation of such duties than in any
other OF the large cities of America.
Wealth also is so evenly and generally
distributed that the possession of it to a
large extent is taken for granted. and
judgment of character singularly little
affected by it. This fact gives rise to an
other characteristic of Chicago society.
and that is the unusual absence of that
distinctive form of human ambition
which has its aim wholly in social ad-
yancement, an ambition which sets up
false gods TO be worshiped, and which
nuliltles the best interests of human ma
ture.

New Jersey at minneapolis.
From the .Io7lY.nnL


A canvass of the Republicans in New
Jersey would show that at least seven
eighths OF them are heartily in favor OF
the nomination of Mr.. Blaine at Mime
apolis. Except among the federal office
holders and Sewell's personal following,
there is no sentiment for Harrison, who
is cordially disliked by the rank and file
of the party.
In Camden on Saturday night Gen.
SeweiI was asked this questions: How
about New Jersey in the convention?"
The Generals prompt response was:
1.-The New Jersey Republican Conven-
ton did not Instruct its delegates. be-
cause it has never been the custom of the
party to do so, Il no n can question
that it was a Harrison convention. ]
rave not heard any question raised in this
State as to the duties of the delegates"
Here is presented a singular anomaly
a political party overwhelmingly in favor
of one man and It's State convention and
delegation entirely pledged to another,
for the presidential nomination. What 9
tribute this is to the ability and master
full character of the Republican leader
and lawgiver in New Jersey? But what
a commentary on the party itself.
