Dolan, who died suddenly at the police

a fit, came down from Phil

ments for her husbands body TO be

when admitted on Wednesday.
She returned to Philadelphia with the

CITY GOVERNMENT

In a recent article, Frank Morrison of
Boston, contends that city government
is a corporate, not political problem.
He has made an interesting, and more or
less, accurate diagnosis of the fundamen-
tai difficulty, which, he asserts, may be
removed by the application of business
rather than political principles
A city, he maintains, is not only tech
nically, but is logically corporation,
and not a political community. Politi-
cally every resident Of city is resident
of the county and of the state and of the
nation in turn, but so far as the city is
concerned he is simply member of a
corporation, and the business of the city
government is corporate business and
not political business.
The problem is TO pave streets. TO sup
ply water, to protect public life, and such
tasks as these, as we'll as police duty.
Now, the management of corporation is
always put in the hands of men who have
an interest at stake. They are, Of
course, the property holders but
often they are also the property
acquirers. They have an interest in the
city, truly, but a most supremely selfish
interest which regulates all improve.
ments suggests all changes, and even
assesses taxes TO advance their own
private ends, to assist their acquisition
of more property, to add value TO the
property they have already acquired.
of course there is much food for thought
in these suggestions of Mr. Morrison but
the fact remains that this is a govern
ment Of the people; and the people, not
the property-holders, nor any other
class, are responsible for the government.
The stream cannot rise higher than its
source, but it need not carry its mud al
ways on top The people must govern
but they must select good men to repre-
sent them, Good men-honest, true dis
interested, intelligent men-are found
outside Of the property-holding class as
often as in IT,

TIE negros political condition may be
likened to that Of drunken man in the
gutter. The Republican party found
him in slavery and brought him out too
soon. They are trying TO make him
swallow Republicanism when he is too
drunk 70 stand alone. What's the use Of
picking up a drunken man if there is no
policeman ''to run him in, no lamp post
to anchor him to, and if you mean
to toss him back into the
gutter with contemptuous kick as
soon as you have made an exhibition Of
bogus and spectacular lover The negro
had no business with the ballot twenty
FIVE years ago; he has no business with
it now. The Republicans did not love
him then, they do not love him now.
They hold him up at the polls long
enough TO vote, then they scurry away
from him or leave him to the swarms OF
flies who join their party, in the South
to prey upon him.

In his speech Of apology for the Nc
Kinley bills failure to increase wages
to enhance prosperity, 60 prevent strikes
and distress, made in the Senate few
days ago, Senator Aldricn said
The plain people of the United States
have too much good sense and discern
ment TO mistake protentous platitudes
for philosophy They are not likely 10
exchange the certainty of satisfactory
earnings and savings, of constant en-
ployment and comfortable homes, for
Democratic promises of a millennium
that is TO follow revolution. These
promises are but the shadows of the un-
known, for which an intelligent people
will not surrender the substance of a
present and abundant prosperity
That beautiful doctrine has been heard
in the land before 1t should be preached
at Homestead It is just as plausible,
however, to preach to man whose
house has been burglarized He
might as well keep quiet and
let the industrious burglar escape with
his booty The burglar cannot make a
living like an honest man; he is too
strong to work and must get his support
by robbing other people. The victims
should rejoice that they have enough
property left TO live ON without becom-
ing beggars or burglars themselves.
That is an evidence of the magnificent
prosperity Of the country. The richer
the burglar becomes the more prosper
GUS the country is, of course. If the
country did not furnish rich pickings the
burglars would not come here or stay
here.

matter of Mr.. Sperry's nomination to
Persia. If he sought the nomination
it is no discredit;. better and bigger
men than he have sought office.
If he did not seek the Office it
is no great honor, because it is a

country to which man might be sent
because he could not do any harm there,
and whore he would be out of the way
of more ambitious men at home There
are only five or six ministerial
places which are used in the honorary
sense. The others are used as rewards
for party service or as a means for tempo
rary exile of an inconvenient rival In
this case Mr. Sperry is not honored
he is either rewarded or put out of the
way II is not unlikely that both reward
and exile were prominent features in his
appointment, But for all that we are
pleased that Mr. Sperry's rod caught the
lightning whether he and his "trooly
loyal" friends will admit that he put up
the rod or not.
