The position Of Mayor Wiley is
anomalous and paIad, xical He was
elected as Republican representing
the higher intelligence end purer motives
Of his party; to has put himself in har-
mony with the anti,hises Of intelligence
and high motives-in harmony with a
horse-trader IN politics.
It is often The case that when the vir-
tus and Intelligence Of the Republican
party arouse to an effort to correct an
evil they pick cut man who, though
representing the best elements in bis
party, caters to the lowest This Is the
result Of he general aud universal de-
cadence Of the party Mayor Willey's
anomalous position must be as hateful TO
him as it is offensive to all Impartial
citizens
II Is certainly queer state Of affairs
that nesessitstes Mayer willey-tl &
conserva'or Of the peace; the highest
executive officer Of tho city; the com
mander Of the police force; a genteel
man and civil ofiicer-to threaten to
knock out the teeth Of one commissioner
for what that commissioner SAYS 10
another commissioner. Mayor WILEY
did that in furtherauce Of the scheme to
give Jester one Of his rewards for break
iug faith.
II would be less offensive to the public
sense Of fitness. II Mayor Wiley would
represent the elements Of his party from
which he was chosen. He would make a
more satisfactory public officer, his ten.
per would be liner and his reputation
better. He is now Ia the position OF
doing the work for the elements in the
Republican party which Jester Is repre-.
senting
We do not know what bond there is
between them, but whatever agreement
or contract exists between Mayor WILEY
aud Commissioner Jester is reprehensible
II must be discreditable to Mayor VII
Icy and offensive to the people Of this
city
The law and Mayor Willey's oath Of
Office provide for non. partisa admins
trstiou; 81 the compact with Jester is
politisal, it breaks the Law and his oath !;
II 1t is any other kind Of a compact, it not
oaly breaks the law and the oaths OF both
chisials, but it puts them both on the
same plane Of using their public offices
AS private annps, in a manner which is as
vulgar as II is dishonest.
We are not surprised at one OF the
offenders, bat the community has right
to expect better service from sn inteli
gent and educated man and gentleman

A Happy New Year !.
1t is the same world TO-DAY
as yesterday. But TO every
sentient being different.
The Roman myth that gives
name to the new born month
cries as he opens the portals
of a New Year:
Janus am Oldest Of potentatesl
Forward look, and backward"
and all the world listens, stops
and thinks something.
The old Romans marked the
New Year by each doing some
especially worthy thing in his
calling or profession. Good
thing. Not the only one the
heathens have given US. And
SO we tell you to day that to
