A particularly Interesting experiment
In the matter of municipal reform In to
be observed In the city of Rochester.
which has for a long time suffered from
the manifold evils of partisan control
In local affairs. A review of the con.
ditions In that city In past years dis.
closes an amazing condition of cOrrup.
ton and misgOvernment and the OK.
travagances begOttcn of professional
politicians In control of the patronage.
The conditions became 80 bad. indeed,
that even the representatives of the
party now In power have been com.
PEELED to call or their office holders aud
give them assurance that unless some.
thing IN the way Of reform Is done the
people cannot be expected to tolerate
them I'm office any longer. In this state
OF affairs number of philosophical
citizens Of Rochester have organized
good government clubs and SGT to
work vigorously to employ Independent
action In purifying the municipality.
The clubs are strictly non. partisan nnd
have for their sole purpose the cause
of good government. without regard to
the political lines along which It Is
obtained. Already the effect II felt

office holders. who are rapidly being
scared into the appreciation Of the fact
that the people will no longer tolerate
misgOvernment and partisan Office mon.
gcrng. Even the political allies and
advocates OF the office holders have
come to see the necessity Of a reform
and are counseling a more careful adj.
ministrntlon Of affairs. The incident
may he taken as another hopeful sign
that the tendency to get good municipal
government without regard to party
lines In getting It Is rapidly growing.
