THE BANE OF MUNICIPAL GOV
ERNMENT.

From paper by Herbert Walsh in the
Iuly number of the american Journal Of
Politics we extract the folio owing:
The stron ghold Of corruption in Philadelphia

q ajority of City Councils on one side and cor
pirate wealth unscrupulously used Oil the

conservative student Of the relations existing
5stween streetcar railways and the city-Mr
Charles Richardson-tha5 had the profits Of
flese companies been limited to 8 per cent per
annum during the last twenty years and the
surplus paid into the city treasury Philadelphia
eg proper management would have been
between s75,OOO,Oo0 and 100000, 900 richer

This is but one example Of the opera
IONS of political bosses, city councils and
corporations. The bosses come to an un-
Outstanding with the corporations and
acting In concert elect men to the City
Council pledged to give legal effect TO
these understandings. The corporation
eats the franchise perhaps for one-tenth of
rs value, and this one-tenth is divided
among the bosses and the members of the
Clty Council. The city gets nothing for
privileges that, had her public servants
been honest meu, would have been a con-
SANITY increasing source OF revenue.
Philadelphia is now paying interest on a
debt of $35 100000. This drain on her
ssources keeps her in a condition of
chronic poverty. The debt has reached
he constitutional limit and consequently
lie city has to pay as she goes. The ex-
lenditures are on low scale. The S75.-
100000 which street railroad corporations
have received in excess of per cent in
terest on the capital invested would pay
5 the city debt and enable the city to get a

salarled public servants would not be

AT BRUNSWICK
A Citizens Club Organized Judge
Spears Trip to Atlanta.

Brunswick, Ga, May 2S.-A citizens
club has been organized here with list
of sixty members pledged to the support
of W. Y. Atkinson for governor. The
club is composed of many prominent He
brews and number of Genties and the
members are working steadily for their
candidate.
Considerable discussion has been going
on on the streets this afternoon, concern
ing Abatement of Judge John J. Spear,
Glynn countys delegate to the
third party convention. which
met in Atlanta recently and nomi-
mated Judge Hines for governor
and a full state ticket, that two members
of the present democratic executive com
mittee of Glynn county were contributors
10 fund donated by third partyites in
Glynn county to send him as a delegate
to the third party convention in Atlanta.
Judge Spear was seen by the MORNING
News correspondent to-day, and made
this statement: There is a small club
of third partyites in Glynn county who
selected myself as delegate to the third
party convention in Atlanta | declined
on the grounds that ! could
not afford the expense of the trip. A. V.
Putnam came TO me later with fund
which he stated had been contributed by
third partyltes, who were Tin sympathy
with our movements, and who had con
tributed to the fund for the purpose of
sending myself as a delegate. Two of the
donators. whom A. Y. Putnam named,
are now members of Glynn county's dem
ocratiC committee. I did not know there
was any secrecy about the names of the
contributors, and heard nothing of the re
ports on the streets until tonight
Chairman Sam c. Atkinson, Of Glynn's
committee. was seen. and denied posi-
lively knowing anything about the facts,
having only heard rumors. Several mem
bers of the committee were seen and de
MED emphatically any knowledge of the
matter, except street rumors. The demo-
Gratis Of Glynn are not alarmed. The
pride of the county is set on carrying it
for democracy, and there is no question
of an overwhelming democratic ma GRITTY.
Some idea Of the tremendous prevalence
of democracy in Glynn can be estimated
when it is stated that out of over 1000
voters in Glynn the third partyites will
not poll over fifty. No fear need be felt
for the democracy of Glynn by the democ-
racy of the union Whether Evans or At
kinson secures the nomination Glynn
county will poll her vote overwhelmingly
IN the nominees favor.
