Is Good City Government PossibIo9

Is Good City Government Possible?
 Mr. Moortield Storey has his say in The New England Magazine on this topic. He finds that American cities are badly governed because bad and in- competent men are chosen to govern them. There needs no voice from heaven to tell us this. But Mr. Storey looks further, and finds that bad and incompe- tent men are chosen to be municipal off, fcers in the first place because the aver age American citizen takes little interest in the government of his city. If he took the same pains in selecting mayor that he does in selecting a foreman to manage his private business we should hear no more hue and cry about rotten municipal administration. In the next place, Mir Storey finds we have poor city government because national and party politics enter into the selection of of- ficers. Because a man has upheld the party and voted early and often for it for twenty-five years, his fellow towns men see in him man qualified to be chief of the street cleaning department.
 When these two ancient foes to good city government-tbe apathy of the average citizen and party politics-are blown up in the explosion of popular opinion, then and then only shall our public affairs be as well administered as mems private business now is, in the writer's judgment. The way to begin the thing is for decent citizens to inter- est themselves in municipal economies.
 Mir. Storey mentions plan:
 The tendency in this country is to concen- trate municipal authority in few hands. In Glasgow and Birmingham the best results are achieved by enlisting large number of able citizens and dividing the work among them, some taking charge of sewers, others of lights, others of water, etc. It makes little difference
 which system prevails, if only good men are induced to do the work. Make 1t in popular estimation great a tribute to mans busi-
 ness ability to make him an alderman as it is to make him a director of bank or railroad, and men will be glad to take positions in the | city government.
 Once persuade the people that the govern ment of city Is a mere matter of business and induce them to treat it as such, and | municipal reform is assured.
 The experiment Is worth trying. Let even | twenty of the men in any city who are it's busi-
 ness leaders meet and really consider what
 steps should be taken to secure economical
 municipal goverI ment Let them each agree | to give say two hours a week to the work. Let ! them take measures to organize their fellow
 citizens of all classes in support of their move | ment, and let them show the same intelligence | and energy that they exhibit in dealing with | the affairs of business corporations in which
 they are directors Let them select their can
 didates and agree to pay them what their time
 is fairly worth, to stand by them and to keep
 them in office Ss long as they do their work
 well. Can any one doubt that such intelli-
 gent and organized effort would succeed?

There arc so many Italians nowin this country that they ought to be invited everywhere to take part in the Colun- bus celebrations of Oct. l2. Their artis- tic temperament and picturesque ideas could not fail to add to the attractive ness of the programmes. In Baltimore the Italian residents are to have Q cele- bration and parade all their own. Doubtless it will be a highly interesting one. When it comes to arranging pa rades and pageants, the matter-of-fact Ang1o-Saxon is nowhere in comparison to the Latin races.

The Iowa State Register, Chairman Clarkson's paper, says: "With up- right head and never wavenng party loyalty, The Register, as one of the sup porters of Blaine, yields to the dictate of fate and the majority of the Repub- lican delegates at Minneapolis. It sim cerely believed in Blaine as the strong est man for the Republican standard bearer.

So it is with city, and the sooner Phoenix is allowed to cast aside old-iogy ideas and don the mantle of progressiveness the sooner that dignity which comes with seli-importance will be felt in our midst.

The editor of the Franklinton
New Era evidently is suffering with
faulty digestion or some thing of the
kind which makes him decidedly
misanthropic and morose. Heae
him: "The State of Louisiana, and
in fact every State in the Union, ia
doing a great deal more to educate
lawyers and doctors than it is edu-
cate farmers. Just so long as this
discrimination is made the agricul-
tural interests OF the State will suf-
fer"
Now if the gentleman can point
out when and where the State has
educated any lawyers or doctors we
would like to be informed. The
State is educating farmers free Of
charge at the State University and
at the experiment farms. Surely
Bro. stovall prefers educated law-
yers and doctors to ignorant shysters
and charlatans.
