The Portland daily press., 1895-01-17

Mayor Curtis of Boston is getting
good many compliments even from his
political adveIsaries for his appointments
to office. Fitness and not political pulls
have determined his choice. A man who
proceeds in this way generally gets
plenty of compliments, but he is apt to
get beaten at the next election because
he antagonizes lot of men who are
sure TO turn out at the caucuses, while
the men whom he pleases are generally
the so-called respectable element who
hold that it is degrading to do active
nolltical work.
The Portland daily press., 1895-01-17

to determine whether a man shall
be nominated who will vote
for John Smith for street commissioner
or for John Jones, for the street COM
| missionership is considered SO valuable
a plum that it is rare that there is not
more than one candidate. Without
knowing what they were voting for they
perhaps have aided in putting man IN
that off ce whom they would never have
knowingly assisted.
Now this plan of electing street COM
missioners has attractions in two dlrec-
tions. 1t is attractive to John smith,
who perhaps has been carpenter OF d
blacksmith, and who has never known
much about road building, because IL
does not bring prominently to the front
the question of fitness. The general
public don't know that he is candidate
usually until he is practically ecteo'
so that he escapes inspection be1orehaho'
and after he is elected the council mas
| got to bear the brunt of the criticism IL
| there is any. The plan is attractive also
| to the corporations and contractors, be-
cause Mr. Smith in the process of getting
support has put himself under obligations
| to them, and hence is not likely to De
over critical as regards the way the
former exercise what rights they may
have in the streets, or the latter
| do what work is allotted to them. There
| is another consideration not without a
good deal of weight with the former.
They not infrequently have schemes on
foot which require votes TO carry them
| through. A street commissioner mas
large numbe of voters at work under
him, whom he can influence very decld-
edly if he cannot absolutely control,
and the street commissioner who has
been helped to get his office by these
corporations must needs be something
| more or less than human not to feel
| inclined to listen to their appeals fol
help.
Now it is obvious that with commls
! sion made up of men from both parties
and appointed by the Mayor 1t Will p'
far more difficult to work this game
Here then is one reason, and verl
strong reason, for the opposition to thu
street commission. Look over the ele
ments who are opposing any change an'
see if they are not just the elements tina
would be likely to oppose it for the reas
ons we have suggested.

No sectarian Appro priations.
[Zion's Advocate.


The Constitution of the United States,
when it was su admitted to the several
States for ratification, Sept. II, 1857,
contained this provision concerning re-
ligion: "No religious test shall ever be
required as a qualification to any office
or public trus under the United States.
AS this is the only provision concerning
religion in the Constitution, the Baptists
of that time were not satisfied. They
desired and expected that the Constitu-
tion would contain sufficient guaranty
I of religious liberty. In the agitation
that followed their views were made
prominent, and the first amendment to
the Constitution, adopted in the follow
ing year, was to this effect: Congress
shall make no law respecting an estab-
lishment of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof, or abridging tn
right of the people peaceably to assem-
BILE and to petition the government for
a redress of grievances. in recent years
there has been growing conviction in
favor of an added amendment to the
Constitution of the United States.
which should declare in more explicit
terms the entire separation of church
and state In 1875, President Grant pro
posed such an amendment. It was intro
duced into the House of Representatives
by Mr.. Blaine, and was passed by large
majority, but was defeated in the Senate.
In The following year both the national
Republican and Democratic conventions
inserted in their platforms the princi'

WHY THEY OBJECT TO A COMMITS
SION.

IF people understood the true inward
ness of ward politics they would
NOT wonder so much at the opposition to
the street commission. Probably the
majority of the voters think that they
nominate and, elect members OF the city
council, and that the city council noml-
mates and elects street commissioner.
That is the way it looks, but that is not
the way it is. This is the way tits: John
Smith wants to be street commissioner.
Now if Mr.. Smith wanted to engageswlth
a private business firm in capacity re-
ouiring about such knowledge and skill
as a com missioner of streets ought to have
he would arm himself with testimonials
that he possessed that knowledge, be
wouId get evidence as to his fitness, and
vouId base his claim on the ground that
he was thoroughly competent to do the
work that would be required of him.
No other method would occur to him.
But John Smith in pursuit Of the street
commissionership never thinks OF this
method at all. What John does is to find
some men in each ward VINO have
asniratious to sit in the city
council: and having found them-the
search is neither long nor painful-he
tenders them his services provided, of
course. that they are favorably inclined
toward his aspirations for the street
commissionership. IT John is an old
hand at this sort of campaigning he joins
drives with some other candidate for a
su bordipate office, offering to turn over to
him such men as he succeeds in getting
into the council, provided the latter will
reciprocate. But this is not all. 10 still
further improve his chances of getting
tbe right men into the council he gener-
ally laws in with contractors who control
many voters, and with corporations, who
have directly or indirectly large interest
in the management of the streets, and who
can get out lots of men to the caucus.
OF course the great majority of the vot-
ers don't know anything about what
Mr.. Smith has been doing for it has
been necessary for him to approach but
a very few men, so that when they go to
caucus they are ignorant OF
the real meaning of the fight that is be-
ing waeed there. Their idea is that if is
simply contest to determine whether
Richard Roe or John Doe shall be the
marty candidate for alderman or coun-
Gilman, whereas it is really a fight
The Portland daily press., 1895-01-17

Pile suggested by President Grant, In
1892, the matter was again be1ore poe1
houses of Congress in memorial anu
petition for the passage Oh an ah'ehu
ment to the Constitution as follows;
No state shall pass any law fespectlps
all esta blishment of religion, OF proui
biting the free exercise thereof, or use
It's property or credit. or any money
raised By taxation, or authorize eltner 10

maintaining, or aiding, by approprla-
ton, payment for services, expenses "
otherwise, any church, religious nenoH!-
nation OF religious society, or any lnsti-
tuition. society. or undertaking which is
wholly or in part under sectarlan OF
ecclesiastical control" The movement 20
secure the adoption of this amenumem'
failed. In the Maine Legislature OF 1898,
memorials were receive proposing an
amendment to the constitution OF tne
State as follows: mo money or property
of the State and no money raised by TAX
alton, by any town or city of this State'
shall ever be appropriated or used, OF
authorized to be used for the purpose
of founding, maintaining, or aldlng py
appropriation, payment Tor services, eA-
penses or otherwise, any church, religious
denomination or religious society, or any
institution, society or undertaking,
which is wholly or in part under sec
tartan or ecclesiastical control. But this
amendment shall not brogate any act OF
a prior legislature. :
The resolution for the submission OF
this amendment to the State constitution
passed the House by vote of ninety
two to twelve, but failed to pass the SEN
ate. 1t was, however, referred to the
next legislature, and will, therefore :,
again be brought forward for action
| during the present winter. =.
We sincerely hope that the proposition
TO submit this amendment to the people
of Maine will now meet with favor in
both branches of the legislature. The
amendment, it seems to us, should at
once commend itself to the enlightened
| Judgment of our legislators. The prin-
cipie of the entire separation OF church
and state is now so generally recognized
that the prop sition may well he regarded
as one of right as well as of expediency.

Senator German tells the truth when
he saws that if the Wilson bill as 1t was
originally passed by the House had be-
come a law there would have been
larger deficiency in the governments
revenues than there is now. Inc SENATE,
therefore, is entitled to some credit Tor
having altered this measure. But IL
would have deserved and received more
credit if instead of amending the bill
1t had cut it's head off.

Process of Production.

Frank Mason, United States consul at
Frank fort, has submitted to the Depart
ment of State most interesting report
on anti-toxine, the new curative for ana
preventive of diphtheria. de explains
that he is impelled to do this because
the su bject is about to engage the atten-

ment where it has been produced COM
mercialIy in quantities adequate to meet
the rapidly increasing demand. He sug-
aests the early publication of the report.
Mr.. Mason gives clear and detailed
description of every step in the process
of production of the new remedy, pre-
faced by an accurate historical sketch OF
it's discovery and development. The
factory at Frankfort to which he refers
is that at the "Farbrokere"" at Hoechst-
on-Main Sheep and goats at first en-
ployed to produce the serum were dis
carded because their tissues were affect
ed by the various foods they consumed,
and recourse was had to horses. The
establishment now utilities the blood of
seventy-six horses, and has trained
corps of more than fifty men employed
in this Que work, producing at present
about 2, GOO doses per day and by the end
of this month it will supply any demand
