BOSSES CANDIDATES.

Just at the present time talk about extern
sye public improvements is q waste of
force. The people are now intent upon
radical reform in the methods Of govern
ment. They do not propose to put money
in the hands of any set Of political bosses.
When we have officials who can be relied
upon to spend money wisely, improvement
projects will be in order. a KellY-Crim-
MINIS candidate who goes about telling
people what ought TO be done misappre-
bends the meaning Of the present uprising.
The objection is not so much to men as to
systems. An official cannot be much better
than the boss that makes him. Under the
boss system officials are nominated to do the
work of the bosses. The official has not
much voice in determining what that work
shall be- Tie bosses now divert a consid-
cradle percentage OF the public revenues to
their own pockets. Ii the city should Issue
bonds for needed public improvements
under the present boss system a very large
part Of the proceeds would be diverted
from public to private uses. Buckley was
wise enough in his day to realize that
no municipal bonds could be issued to be
used under boss rule. The present bosses
are less discerning. They do not seem to re-
aliZe that they are held in as deep distrust as
their immediate predecessors They are even
trying to persuade the public that it is only
through them that the city can be improved.
The short cut to a comprehensive plan Of
improvement is to lake the control Of
municipal affairs out Of the hands of bosses
Of either or any party. by an honest ad-
ministrati0n OF city government convince
the taxpayers that money raised for a given
purpose viii be honestly expended, To
begin with. from 100000 tc 81, O0G, coo OF
the present revenue can be saved each term
by good management and devoted to urgent
necessities. The surplus revenues, after
conducting the Offices OF the city on lib
eral scale. will be sufficient to put a new
face upon things. The city is drawing
more money from taxable property accord
ing to its amount than any other large
American city. Property is assessed at
about its full value, and / per cent each
year paid into the public treasury. The
taxpayers propose to see that this money is
wisely expended before they tax themselves
to provide more. The purposes of this or
that candidate for Office do not count. So
long as boss can put up this asprant and
pull that aspirant down. men will be nomi-
mated TO carry out the plans Of the bosses
The candidate Of boss may attempt to de-
ceive others by telling them what he pro-
poses to do If elected. 1t does not make
any difference what be proposes; the bosses

SEEMS A LITTLE SINGULAR.

The morning organ OF Kelly and Grim
MINIS says in effect that il seems a little
singular that such sn Official as County
Clerk Blattner should be the subject of at
tack. The organ admits that the present
County Clerk, now candidate for Sheriff,
took pledge TO conduct the Office on $1,000
month and failed to keep it. Yet it is
considered a little singular that the pledge
breaker should be charged with having
broken his pledge. The responsibility for
so doing Is laid upon the Supreme Court,
as If The Supreme Court had not sins enough
10 answer for without holding it responsible
for the shortcomings of Kelly and Crlmmlns
officials. From one point Of view Mr.. Blatt-
ner was not responsible for the increase Of
clerks in the County Clerks Office. The
order came from the Tnrd-sIreet dea and
Blattner obeyed il. Ii he had not he would
have lost his political standing When the
time for new nominations came round a
more disable man would be found. Mr..
Blattner is only responsible for holding a
position under conditions that made his
administration diShonoTable. Tie law under
which he acted has not been changed for
many years. 1t was the same during the
term of his predecessor as during his own.
The law fixed the salaries Of deputies.
but il did not require him to appoint
more than he needed. MI Davies kept his
pledge by limiting his force TO the require
menis OF the office. Mr.. Blattner broke his
pledge at the dlctation of the Third-street
bosses. THE CALL readily admits that it is
hard on officials TO hold them TO account for
the sins of the bosses. But the grand pun
pose Of the present campaign Is 10 do away
with the bosses. Let us abolish a system
which strikes at the manhood Of public
officials. Let MS lift this cloak from their
shoulders and leave each man TO act on his
own responsibility. The law aud the pledge
he may have openly taken should be his
guide.
Under the decision OF the Supreme Court
TO which the helly-Crlmmins organ at
tributes the downfall OF Blattner, every
nominee for County Clerk. except Blattner.
is pledged 10 conduct the Office on $1,000 a
month. The Nen-Partisan candidate took
the pledge with full knowledge OF the law
which Mr.. Blattner has worked under. Mr..
Moran will find no difficulty in keeping
pledge. for the simple reason that DO one
will REQUIRE him to appoint more deputies or
clerks than he has use for This is one of
the beauties Of the no-boss system. 1t
enables an official to Introduce business
methods into the management of a public
Office and, what is perhaps more, to so
conduct the office as 10 retain his own
self-resnert

A CURSE TO THE ComMUxIrY.

The public ought not to be much deceived
by the attacks Of the Chronicle upon Judge
Coffey. Here is Judge who has filed his
office with perfect satisfaction TO the pub
lie. Not shadow of doubt has ever been
expressed as TO his integrity or good judg-
ment in the adjudication Of cases which
have been brought before him, except by
the Chronicle. which complains because he
cannot be used by a few knaves 10 aid in
the enrolment OF fraudulent voters. We
remember when an effort was made in Judge
Wallace's court to bring to justice frauds
committed in the Legislature, but this same
Chronicle was loud in its denunciation of
the attempt to punish crime, which nearly
everybody knows had been committed. The
Chronicle went hand in hand with railroad
lawyers in their efforts to cover up the at
tenpts 20 bride members Of the Legislature
in their efforts TO elect United States Sem
ator and in other fraudulent acts. news

of justice and to aid in plundering the peo-
pie because it can make money by the op-

A POLITICAL sCARECROw.

Poor DR.. O'DOnnell is being used as a polit-
zeal scarecrow. Republicans are expected
to vote for boss candidate for Mayor lest
ODonneil may be elected If they do not.
Democrats are appealed to on the same
ground. The thing both parties are urged
to avoid is the election Of O'Donnell. What
ever strength the scareerow candidate has
ia derived from the disgust of the people to
boss rule. Except for abuses which the
scareerow candidate promised to do away
with, he would never have had any cons i'd
cradle following. Under present conditions
the N0n-Partisan candidate. l.. r. Ebert,
will attract the bulk Of O'D0nnelps last
vote. There is no reason why a man
should vote for ODOnnell as an anti-bos s
candidate while there is an unexceptiona-
Die anti-boss candidate with an anti-boss
party behind him in the field. O'Donnell
served two years ago as a measure of the
popular discomfort under boss rule, but this
year he only represents himself. The bulk
OF his last vote will 90 to Ebert

ALL SHOULD HELP REMOVE THE
KNSXEg.

We have for several years past had but
little to choose between the candidates
nominated osteDsibly for the two parties in
this city, for they have both been under the
control Of men vino were at work for all
they could make. One has been denom-
mated Republican and the other Demo
cratic, but they have been nominated by
men OF the class Of Buckley and Kelly,
Crimmius & Co These men have usually
been furnished with railroad money in
order to secure the nomination of railroad
dummies; yet more than railroad dummies.
for they have usually been such men as
would plumber in their own interests as
well as that OF the railroad. Our citizens
now have ticket which has been nom
mated in their own interest, not in that of
men who would rob us. Can it be possible
under such circumstances that any we'll
wisher OF the city will be found who
neglects to cast his ballot in favor of the
Non-Partlsan ticket? 1t will be surprising,
now we have an opportunity to purge the
municipality of knaves. that we should not
do so

TIE DUTY OF HONEST DEMOCRATS.

Democrats have an interest in getting rid
Of the knayes who have controlled the
nomination OF candidates CT that party for
several years past 1t was Buckley and
others who dictated who should be our
Supervisors, cur members Of the Legisla-
tuVe, our Judges, aud, In fact, all other
officers. No Democrat could obtain an
Office unless he was willing 10 be dragged in
the miTo. If he were TO be Judge be must
agree to do what Buckley and his CO.
workers exacted OF him. He must also
agree TO give the railroad managers what
they wanted. If man were nominated
who did not actually agree TO do what these
rascals expected from him the chances were
that he was so low down in the scale of
humanity as to render pledge TO do dirty
work unnecessary. He must do it in order
TO pay for the money which was advanced
to him In order TO obtain his Office and live.
The sO-called Democratic nominations at
this time are no better than they were
under Buckley. Indeed, in some respects
We think they are even worse. If honest
Democrats break down tie present So
termed Democratic nominations they can
start anew al another election with honest
candidates, but should they be so in6screet
as 10 elect the present boss and railroad
candidates they will be in the power Of the
knayes as completely as ever.

WORKING FOR RNAVEs.

Four years ago THE CALL made an effort
to put an end to the rascaliues of Buckley
and his associates. 1t then had TO en-
counter the violent opposition of several Of
tue city newspapers. 1t was bitterly op-
posed by the Examiner particularly, and
the Chronicle seemed to be partially in part
nership with that concern. THE CALL
then made an inroad upon Buckley. but 1t
took another election TO drive him out Of
city politics. BE it remembered the En-
GHliaer stuck 10 Buckley until the last
After Buckley was disposed Of the Chronicle
took the lead with the boss elan controlled
by Kelly. Crimmins Sc Co., bat the EI-
GHtiRcr did lis best to resuscitate the Buck
ley lambs. and il sticks TO them still. The
Chronicle is now at the head Of what may
be termed the Republican and railroad
bosses, and i! is trying TO put in office some
Of as base instruments as were driven out
Of the city in 1896. Shall it succeed? Not
unless our citizens are entirely obliyious 10
their true interests. We have had enough
Of newspapers playing into the hands of
men who have robbed us. 1t may be
profitable for the Chronicle to work for the
railroad company hand in hand with hired
bosses, but We hope that it will not succeed
in the election Of such a set of knaves a
We have employed for a few years past.

II DOES CUT A FIGURE.


The Kelly-Crimmins morning organ saws: :
Lew X Ebert may think that his record as
member OK the Board of Supervisors cuts no
inquire In his present candidacy, but there are
great many people In the city who could unde-
ceive him.
MI Ebert does not think that his record
as Supervisor cuts no figure in his present
candidacy. On the contrary. he is running
Oh that record. Ii is his best political can
ital. He is young man and has not vet
had chance to make a record in national
politics. But he has served four years as q
member OF the Board Of Supervisors and he
now stands squarely on the record he has
made. During the last two years he was
chairman Of the Finance Committee and
did much to keep the heads Of departments
up to their pledges. MIR Ebert certainly
does expect his record as Supervisor TO
cut figure in his present candidacy.
