Donahoe's for May.


America is now passing through one
OF the graVest crisis in its history. The
air is heavy with suspense and anxiety.
Magazines and newspapers are full Of
stories of the trouble and OF theories as
to its cause. Until DonaIoe's Maya
zine was issued this month, few were
aware that there are men-American
citizens and moulders of public opinion,
who dare to lay the blame for the ex-
isting situation at the door of popular
government. Most of us had thought
that the question whether the people
should govern or be governed was set
tied once for all more than a century
ago. But it seems that in educational
halls and in editorial sanctums there
are men who even now cherish the same
sentiments that awakened tory APP
plause in 1776. Donahoe's Magazine
has done a service OF inestimable value
in bravery and forcibly exposing a
source of danger greater far than any
mere economic or political heresy.
When Americans cease to trust them
selves it is time for a note of alarm.
This note is struck in just the right toue
in the leading article of Donahoe's for
May, Is Popular Government TO Fail
in America This brilliant article is
only q of the many features which
place Q0nahoe's not merely among the
leading Magazines but in the front rank
among the leaders.

standing any cuts which might hereaf-
ter be made by the companies OF the
Southeastern Tariff Association, are be-
ing freely circulated and signed in all
the principal towns and cities in this
State, and are being returned to Mr..
SThos 81. Enos, the originator of the
move at this place, to be laid before
such companies as may be selected to
accept the proposition as to insurance
therein contained. MI. Enos feels high
~ elated at the unanimity with which
his proposition against the Insurance.

AN UNSOLVEO PROBLEM.

The committee on cities in the New York
constitutional convention has not yet sue
ceeded in pleasing the convention. The
committee has been requested to try. try
again. The convention does not lay down
the lines upon which new trials should be
made. 1t admits that up to the present
time the best form of city government is
an unsolved problem. All efforts 10 solve
the municipal problem have been within
narrow lines. The people of cities have
been supposed to be less capable of self
government than the people of State. 1t
has always been held also that a man
could not make good Mayor. a good
Sheriff or good County Clerk unless he
was an active worker in one of the great
political parties. No personal merit has
been considered which one of the parties
did not discover. The consequence is that
city governments have to go to the State
to get permission to do things they wish to
do. The State Legislature does not con-
slider propositions which come be-
fore it from cities so much from the
point of view of the city's welfare
as the welfare of the at the time
dominant party. The future city govern
ment will be founded on home rule and on
strictly BUSINESS principles. 1t Will De a
business corporation for business pur-
poses. 1t will elect Mayor because he is
the right man for the place, not because in
his capacity as Mayor ne can serve the one
IF the national parties to which he
belongs. He will be given powers
sufficient to enable him to enforce
good government il he wants to
aud to locate responsibility If he does moi
want to. Having reached this point the
| city will make its own laws subject Of
course to State laws of general appica.
ton. That which the State declares to be
crime will be crime in the self-governing
city, but in matters affecting its own wei.
fare the city will have power-power even
10 commit mistakes If it wants to. Bul
| there is not more reason TO suppose that
city would commit more serious mistakes
than a State. There will be sharp differ
ences of opinion on local matters. but they
Will be settled among those who know
something about the questions in disput,
and are interested in having them settled
