Secretary Morton on tho Wickedness OF
Cities.

The Hon. JULIUS STERLING MORTON, Sec
rotary Of Agriculture, Is entitled to respect
because he Is planter and lover Of trees,
but we fear that the humbug department
| over which he Is set is having bad effect
upon him. and filling him with humbug.
without his knowledge. He spoke piece
| upon the subject Of Home" at Mr.. BRAD
LEY's Asbury Park last Sunday. From that
piece We take this surprising specimen Of
freshman sapience:
Every newly founded city Is source Of jeopardy
TO this form Of government All political corruption
bribery and dishonesty have arisen. think without
single exception in the densey populated centres OF
the Union. It 10 in these cities that We breed all tho
corruption in government. think I say with
safety that no conspiracy for the purpose robbiug
Taxpayers has ever originated In the country"
1t Is ludicrous to hear u man OF Mr. NOR
TONS intelligence and dignity talking in
this way. Tho notion that human nature
is different in cities from what 1t is in vii
lages. is as baseless as the dream of a
golden age in tho past. Men are hot made
honest by eating acorns. or dishonest by
eating terrupin. There Is more 20 steal In
the cities. but there Is no more stealing
proportionately. and no more political cor
ruption. 1t is myth Of certain school of
reformcrs that cities are Ill governed and
corruPtly governed; but it Is only myth,
not believed in by n majority OF the dwell
ers IL those cities. and not sustained by
the cold facts.
II Mr.. MORTON will read the newspapers,
especially the country newspapers. moro
attentively he will find that taxpayers arc
sometimes robbed in the country. and that
the integrity which scorns pccuniary temp
tation doesn't all thrive ON country air.
He might as well have compared the hon
esty of rural bank officials with that OF
urban bank officials. or have said that en-
bezzlement Is impossible In any town
which doesn't have sidewalks, or that q
statesman from Nebraska cannot talk
through his hat.

Was 1t n Bid2

| The windy oratorical tone Of Governor
ALTGELD's statement. or misstatement, In
the case Of the pardoned Anarchists. SCHwAB,
FIELDEN. and NEEBE. must strike every
reader OF that extraordinary document. 1t
| is not q calm and impartial reviow OF the
| evidence, but the bitter plea OF q lawyer for
the defence bent upon bullying and over
riding tho Judge and the prosecution.
1t is unfortunate that the Democrats Of
Illinois should be responsible for the cleo
tlon Of q Governor who shows such re-
markable sympathy with Anarchists and
such a severity against officers Of the law
like Judge GARY and former Chief of Police
BoNr1EhD. Apparently. in the eyes Of the
Hon. JOHN P. ALTGELD the Anarchists were
suffering innocents. while Judge GARY and
Mr. BoNr1ELD were ravening and malig-
nant prosecutors.
We do not know whether or not the reports
arc true which represent ALTGELD as q sort
OF Know-Nothing turned inside out: that
is. man who thinks that foreign-born
American is better than O native-born
American. At any rate. there have been re-
ports. for some time, that he was fishing
for the so-called labor vote, and hoped to be
elected Senator in Congress by reason of
it. Only day or two before the pardon Of
the Anarchists the Inter- Ocean published
the report that it was his object to make
himself sure OF tho Cook county labor vote.
BY the labor vote is meant. OF course. not
the vote oflaboring men. but the vote con-
trolled by the noisy and worthless agita-
tors. almost invariably foreigners, Of whom
Chicago Is full.
We do not know II the report is true. nor
would we lightly ascribe the pardon of the
Anarchists to political motive and ambl-
ton. The motive will make no difference
in Governor ALTGELD's political career.
His term as Governor expires Jan. /, 1885,
The term Of the Hon. SHELBY NJ. CU1LoM.
whose successor he hopes to be. expires
March 4. 1895. Governor ALTGELD's political
career will have ended with the former date.
He has risen as high and he has fallen as
low as he ever will. II he was sincere in
granting the pardon. he has performed IN
act Of great self-sacriflce. If he was In
sincere. he will be effectually punished
Whether no is q mistaken sentimentalist
or semi-Anarchist or scheming dema-
gogue. he is played out: and the only hope
is that he has not pulled down his party
In Illinois with him.

The CONFERENCE.-THE.

Judge HERRICK's desperate attempt to
retain his political power In Albany by pre-
venting his organ. the Argus. from passing
out Of the control Of his personal faction,
has reached its predestined fate.
Mr.. WILLIAM McMURTRIE SPEER and
his associates. representing an influ-
snce not under Judge HKRR1CK's thumb.
had obtained control OF tho Argus. for
merly owned by young Mayor MANNING.
In order to prevent the transfer from MAN.
MING to SPEER the rightful owner. the mat
ter was dragged into the court where the
Hon. d. CADY HERRIcK. q member of the
Democratic State Committee and the special
chief and protector Of the MANNING side OF
New York State politics. sits as Judge.
No man properly balanced in decency and
comprehension would have sat in this
case against the protest vigorously urged
against Judge HERRICK by the SPEER
people. as an interested party. A
nine-year-old boy who was honest could
not have erred In deciding the falsity of the
MANNING claim against SPEER. But Judge
HERRIcK. though he Is no chicken and no
fool. enjoys disposition. 30 invaluable fora
partisan Of his rabid intensity, to subordi-
nate questions Of law to private interests.
The logic Of law has no terrors for an
anti-snapper like him. He dipped down
into the partisan tar-pot always by his side
and made his broader and deeper smear upon
the judicial ermine. He decided for MAN
MING. and so held on to the Argus. at least
until he could be overruled by an honorable
court. an event which occurred last Tuesday.
Is not Judge HERRIcK unwise in thus con-
tinuing to cast disgrace upon the bench |
by using it to promote the interests OF
himself as member of the Democratic
State Committee Isn't 1t to be expected
that after while such exhibitions OF in
decency on the part Of public servant in
trusted with the high responsibility OF being
aJudge Of the Supreme Court. will affect his |
standing upon the State Committee and
lessen his political influence about which
