Englishman, who married sister OF

Of bimetallism was in Washington
about eighteen months ago. The furi-
Gus currency war was just then at its
height. England had closed the minis
of India to silver, and the gold mono
metallists were using this as an argu-
ment for the unconditional repeal OF the
Sherman law. Mr.. Fruin suggested
that l get up a petition and circulate

of our tariff on diamonds.

our contemporaries would but dismiss
the idea of "a Straddle" from their
calculations, the performance becomes
at once both simple and narural.
Neither is it new thing under the
sun. For an elucidation of how a
paper can be sound Republican in de-
handing that the Mckinley tariff for
protection be supplemented with reel
procity, and at the same time stand by
two basic standards for money, we re-
fer our respected Republican contem-
poraries to the Ohio platform. Just
what the Eagle has preached on tariff
and money that platform teaches.
That Republican explosion in Ohio
involved a telling shot 1t raised the
dead and reticent corporosities of John

surface Of the political flow, and it
will open the mouth and ears of many

THE CITY GOVERNMENT.

The civic writers of the times are
well nigh unanimous in the conclusion
that municipal government in the cities
of America, is the rOtteneSt known TO
civilized rule. The natural preSump-
ton would be that in government of,
for and by the people that the people
must suffer the least from official op-
preston and peculatiOn. But eXper-
fence does not warrant the conclusion.
The worst governed, the most ex-
are American cities. Booding and
squandering have become the rule
rather than the exception, even for
municipalities which are in no sense
metropolitan or centers of population
The ward heeler and political striker
are everywhere TO control and to steal,
TO put up jobs and to divide, to COM

In New York, Chicago and other
places the last straw which proved too
much having been imposed upon the
burthened back, revolt followed, and
then Investigations, shamc-and dis
grace. Public conscience having been
thus aroused an organiZat ton known as
the Municipal league was organized.
Day before yesterday that order. which
has spread from city to city, held its
annual celebration. The secretary of
the National Municipal league has
transmitted his report for the year to
the Associated Press. Thirty-siX sub
leagues have been organized in the
cities of the state of New York alone.
The movement is far-reaching and
promises in reyoiutioniZing to reform
municipal rule in America. Thugs
and strikers and their CONSCIOUSNESS
organizers and leaders are to be rele-
gated permanently under strict legis-
lation and honor and decency and
lighter taxes are to be the rule of the
new order.
