GOOD GOVERNMENT CLUBS.

MIR. Preble Tucker, secretary of council
of the New York Confederated Good Gov
eminent Clubs, says at a recent conven ion
in New York City sixteen clubs were rep
resented. the aggregate membership of
which was 5000 These clubs concern
themselves solely with municipal affairs.
Republicans and Democrats work side by
side with the single purpose of rescuing
this city from the clutches of the
national partisan organizations and re-
moving the administration of its affair.
from the influence of party politics." Con-
corning the influence of party politics upon
municipal government, Mr.. Tucker says:
To those who have carefully studied the sub
ject of municipal government III the United
States and the causes which have produced the
corrupt and wasteful methods OF admiuistra-
lions now prevailing in our cities il has be-
come most evident that party politics lies at the
root of the evil. The issues upon
which the two great nat ional parties are d.
vided are not The same as aud have egitl-
mately no relations TO the local issues that
should divide the citizens OF city.
Whatever may be the purpose of this
committee of seventy, which Is understood
to be arranging for a non-partisan move
ment against TammaDy the Good Gov
eminent Clubs propose to be permanent.
The constitution provides for permanent
central committee, called a council CON-
posed of representatives chosen annually
by The clubs in this con federation. The
work has been going on hut a little more
than year, and never more vigorously
than at present. Il is expected that before
November there will be one Good Govern
ment Club 10 each of the thirty districts
in the city. The principal evil of the par
tisan system of municipal government is
that men imagine it a duty they owe to
their party to support whatever ticket
The party leaders may nominate In this
way the convictions of men on national
issues inspire them TO vote against their
convictions on local Issues. With most
men the national convictions are the
stronger of The two. They do not like 10

act on national issues and which gives

thousands Of Republicans are expected to
vote the Burns ticket because it bears the
name of the party whose success 10 the
nation and State they desire to promote.
Thousands of Dem ocrats are in the same
fix. They do not like Buckley methods
nor boss rule generally, but some of them
have never voted ticket that was not
labeled Democratic" And they dread
to begin. The feeling is general now in
other cities than this that the separ ltion
of national party politics from municipal
affairs should be complete and permanent.

WRIGGLiNG OUT,
The Philadelphia Record saws.

The Philadelphia Record says:
When business improves there should be
responsive improvement In wages. The manu-
facturers who have recently sought to further
reduce wages, urging as an excuse lower tariff
rates, have been properly met by workingmen
with firm refusal TO submit. There is no ne
cesslty for reduction. Owing TO the depression
aud panic of 1893 wages had been cut as low
as possible before any change va, made in the
tariff rates.
When business improves it will be on
the lower Standard of prices of goods
made necessary by reduction Of duties
on foreign goods. The difference between
the Mckinley duties and the present
duties on woolen manufactures will be
subtracted from the prices at which Amer
lean goods can be sold. The per cent of
reduction ranges from II to SO per cent
In order to keep the trade that was gained
Under the Mckinley tariff manufacturers
Will be obliged To take orders at prices
reduced by nearly the amount OF rcduc-
ton in duties. Without doubt the depres-
sion of 1893 reduced wages TO a greater ex-
tent than the duties would require. Work.

THE POLITICAL BOSS.

The uprising of Boss Burns and the re-
turn to politics of Boss Buckley moved
the Woodland Democrat to say:
The San Francisco political boss, no matter
In what party he is found, is one of the curl
osities in modern politics. No one seems to be
able 10 define In just what his power consists
but 1t seldom fails TO be apparent when the
time for It's manifestation is reached. AS a
rule be is not an intellectual person; he has
none of the requisites of leader; but he rules
and lie faces reverses In so doing that would
wreck, II would seem, a man of greater re-
sources than one Is able 10 find in the study of
his character.
We do not know in what respect the San
francisco political boss differs from politi-
cal bosses ia other cities. His power con-
slsts largely In the absence of moral sense
on the part of great business corporations.
Buckley never got con troll of the Demo-
cratic party by his own individual efforts.
he demonstrated the possession Of talents
that made him useful to corporations. lie
could tell them how to do things they
wanted to have done. He possesses
genius for discovering corrupt men and
molding them to serve his ends. He has
never been restrained by regard for the
public good or the public name, and yet he
is economical in crime. He will accom-
plish his purpose with as little offense to the
publi' as may be practicable, but he lets
nothing stand in his way that it
Is in his power TO remove. All the
money and Influence that has been placed
at his disposal by corpora tons would not
have enabled him to succeed had he not
known better how to employ these agencies
than the men who placed them in his hands.
The other boss who is dividing public at
tenton with Buckley possesses some
what different mental makeup. He is not
so astute, so polite nor so comprehensive
in purpose as Buckley. He trusts more to
the incapacity of his tools than his asso-
cstes. But he knows when he is master,
and relies more on brute force to maintain
his power. The trick by which he got
control of the Republican State committee
was borrowed from his predecessors, but
he has used it with more effect than they.
He is hard master, and possesses the
httleness of soul which eXults 10 human
abasement. II Burns and Buckley should
work in harness T long period, the
former would be found carrying GU; the
orders Of the latter. But the hope of the
city lies in the defeat of both. They are
not only ''curioSties in modern politics."
but their continued exercise of power is
threat TO representative government

from Dunedin, New Zealand, as follows:

The extract quoted does not show
whether Mr.. Talmage rejoicss with the
New Zealand sheep-owners or whether his
sympathies go out to American wool
growers. He certainly cannot indulge in
the hallucinatinn Chairman Wilson seems
to have surrendered himself to-that the
better our tariff policy suits foreigners
the better 1t ought 10 suit Americans. The
removal of the American dnty on New
Zealand wool will enable the New Zealand

his selling price, but the American wool
grower will have to reduce his price TO
meet the other part In year or two.
when the life has been crushed out of the
American wool-grower. the foreign capt.
talist will buy all the wool that is offered
and then make our manufacturers pay a
good price for it, In wool, as in other
products, competition is the mos! effective

30 SSISM.

About two years ago San Francisco.
Oakland and several other CT our larger
cities SGT TO work 10 do away with politi-
cal boss rule. The best element of these
cities looked with disgust upon the
methods employed TO get men into uffice.
The men these bosses nominated were
oisiasteful to the better class of voters
and they determined TO do away with this
disgusting work. The honest people got
together and after thoroughly arousing
public sentiment against methods EN-
ployed by these old parties, they placed

Railroad Comnetition.

1t is rumored in railroad circles that a
combination is on foot amorg the COM
petitors of the Chicago and Northwestern

western has added the latest Pullman and
made special attractions for California
passenger business 1t has taken the bulk
of the traffic, being the only road runnin g
its own sleepers through without change
from Chicago to California and vice versa.
How the other roads will manage TO COM
pole is uncertain, as their time is twelve
hours longer and the business equally
divided would not warrant any one line in

stiuaey. The immediate future is, in a
business sense, an experiment. They
will feel their way to better prices. 1t was
expected that free-trade journals would
sh!rk the responsibility for the reduction
IN wages which free trade enforces, but
there is nc escape from the conclusion
that to compete with foreigners, who work
with cheaper labor than Americans under
reduction of the tariff, American wages
must be reduced.
