The greatest festival of the la

In San Antonio the day began

come. n
The day was celebrated by two
opposing factions, the Trades

Protective and Benevolent Union,
the former celebrate ing at Limbur-
gers garden on River avenue, and
the latter, through some disatfec-
ton, celebrating with large

Cleveland's Humiliation,

AT present writing, it appears that
the senate bill, practically unmodiied,
is to become law. The situation may
be viewed from several standpoints.
AS victory of the senate over Mr..
Cleveland, without reference to the
merits of the contention, it is fitting
rebuke to an executive whose inter-
ference with the legislative branch of
the government has been obnoxious
and unauthorized. AS the triumph of
Senator German, not only over the
president and the house, but in spite of,
if not over, the smouldering hostility of
many of his own party in the upper
branch, it marks him as the most &C
complished party manipulation in con-
gress. Viewed as traitorous breach
of the party pledges, it will do good
service in the next campaign as a
"horrible example," Politically con-
sidered, it must operate to considerably
demoralize the democratic party. Now
that the Dill seems sure OF passage, the
presidents letter furnishes interesting
reading. Among the choice express
sions therein contained is the assertion
that the bill contains outrageous dis
examinations and violations of prin-
ciple," and the equally true and equally
candid statement that the measure is
stamped with "party perfdy and party
dishonor." The president may be bet
ter than his party, but stronger he GER
tainly is not. A more complete hui
initiation of president of the United
States has never been witnessed. 1t
should teach those who have voted for
Mr.. Cleveland, while doubling his party,
that no single personality can be relied
upon to control the policy of this gov
eminent, or even to control a party.

Municipal Reforms.

The publication of city government is
receiving just at present some of the
attention it so richly deserves. Inves-
tigating committees that investigate are
making the public sure of corruptions
which have long been supposed to ex-
list. Some of the rascals will be pun
ished, no doubt, but little permanent
benefit will result unless sufficient in
terest in the cause of clean and whole
some municipal administration is
aroused to throw city government into
the control of our most capable and
trustworthy citizens. We mean by this,
our foremost citizens must make some
sacrifice of time and money, if need be,
and actively and personally take hand
in the management of city government,
as mayors, aldermen and practical poll
ticians, before any radical improvement
results. Mr.. Lows resignation from the
presidency of Columbia to run for the
mayoralty of New York has been dis
cussed, and prominent New York
weekly has soberly and earnestly sug-
gested the names of Mr.. Depew and

The provision in the ballot law requiring
county nomination papers to be filed at
least thirty days before the day of cleo
ton is an entirely reasonable provision,
and necessary that sufficient time may
be afforded for the printing of the bal
lots. Moreover, it DISTINGUISHES no
one, for blank spaces are left in the
official ballot in which each voter so de-
string may write the names of candi-
dates not already printed on the ballot;
so the law cannot be consistently crit
cised as unconstitutional on the ground
that it abridges the right of suffrage.
There is no doubt that many men,
rather than take the trouble to write
out on ballot the names Of the various
candidates, will refrain altogether from
voting for county officers; but they will
do this just as they might stay away
from the polls on rainy day-not be-
cause they have no other choice, but
because they do not care enough about
voting to put themselves to any incon-
venience. Even with candidates.
names all printed on the official ballot,
it is noticed that the head of the ticket
runs far ahead of those officers whose
names appear near the foot, the voter
apparently feeling satisfied in many
cases if he crosses the names of the first
few candidates; so it is probable that
the failure to have the names printed
on the official ballot will seriously di-
minish the democratic vote in Windham
county and the republican vote in
Caledonia county for county officers.
The democrats of the state, so far as
electing county officers is concerned,
might as we'll refrain from voting alto
gether, unless republican stupidity in
failing to comply with the require
ments of the ballot law gives them
such an advantage in some sources that
they will thus be prepared to gather in
a few crumbs of comfort. Whether
this thing is to happen in Caledonia
county, remains to be seen. If this
! county does not always feel satisfied
with its treatment in the distribution of
state offices, it should not permit
losses of this nature to furnish ground
for the charge that her political stew
ardship is not of the best. Let us hope
the republicans of Caledonia county
will handsomely retrieve their blunder
by putting so much practical campaign
work into the rest of the canvass that
their entire ticket will be chosen by an
increased majority.

other well-known business men of the
city for aldermen.
The mayor of New York has been
said to have more patronage within his
unquestioned grasp than any other one
person in the United States. Con-
tracts of such magnitude and appoint
ments of so much moment are under
the control of few officials in that
great city that their proper manage
ment requires the superintendent of
the best intellects. Until honest men
of great capacity are placed in control
of our largest municipalities, there can
be no satisfactory city government in
this country. If a sense of duty or a
desire to earn well-merted distinction
does not persuade the right men to &C.
cept these offices, salaries large enough
to make acceptance profitable can be
paid, with consequent saving of large
sums resulting from the improved ad-
ministration. No field affords greater
opportunities for the philanthropic SER
vice of representative men, and the
hour seems TO be at hand.
