Commissions vs.. Committees.

The purpose Of the city council to have
the police and fire departments, the
streets. assessments and parks put in con-
troll of commissions is well understood.
Preparations for the necessary legislation
have been made already.
One Of the reasons advanced in favor
of commissions. and perhaps the strongest
one, is that it is extremely difficult to get
men of intelligence. high character and
ability to accept places in the city coun-
Gil on account Of the time 1t takes to dis
charge faithfully and conscientiously the
duties which such places impose upon
them. Busy men say they cannot afford
10 give so much of their time to the city
simply for the honor Of being members Of
the municipal government.
Very few business men would object TO
serving the city in the capacity of alder
men provided they were not burdened with
details of the management of the different
departments of the city government. They
would not object to doing what the alder
men are required to do at regular council
meetings. The commissions are TO take
charge Of the work that is now done large
" by committees of councilmen.
The proposed change is in the direction
of reform. With commissions composed
of capable men better results than those
obtained under the present system could
be secured for the city. There is some
risk of course in the selecting members
of the commissions, but there is also risk
in electing aldermen and in appointing
committees.
There is no reason why all the commits
sioners should be paid salaries Some of
them would have so little to do that the
honor of the positions would be a sufn-
cient compensation. There are others who
would have a great deal to do; so much,
in fact. that much of their time would be
occupied in serving the city. They would
have to be paid. The number of salaried
commissioners. however. would be very
small and care should be taken to fix
their salaries within reasonable bounds.
If the commission plan is to command
public approval there must be frst-class
men for commissioners, and it must not
materially increase the burdens of tax
payers. We have no doubt that the com
mission plan may be made acceptable, but
to make it so there must be much good
judgment exercised.

The KentncIsr Campaign.

We have. no doubt that the democratic
ticket in Kentucky will be elected. The
republicans are claiming the state by
1900 majority. but what they claim is
not a matter of great deal Of conse-
quence.
Il is undoubtedly true, however, that
the sound money democrats feel that the
democratic nominee for governor does not
deserve from them an enthusiastic and
hearty support. They controlled the state
convention and made the platforms
sound money platform-and then nomi-
mated Gen. Hardin, a free silverite. Their
understanding was that if Gen. Hardin ac-
cepted the nomination he would stand
squarely on the platform. That he has
refused 10 do. Admitting that he is en-
tirely sincere in advocating the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver. he cannot
claim TO have dealt frankly and fairly
with the sound money democrats. Con-
sequently it is not at all surprising that
the belief is quite general that a great
many sound money democrats viii not
vote at all. OF if they vote viii not cast
their ballots for Gen. Hardin.
The great majority of the sound money
democrats. however. win support the tick
ct not only because they are anxious that
the Democratic party shall elect its ticket,
but also because they hold the opinion
that an election for state officers has very
little bearing on the silver issue.
The usual democratic majority in Ken
lucky need not be expected. 1t will NOT
be possible under existing circumstances
to get out a full democratic vote. The
many democratic votes for their ticket
because of the pronounced sound money
views of their candidate, but they are
likely to be disappointed. Though the
sound money democrats are greatly dis
appointed with Gen. Hardin they are too
their political enemy. As already stated.
some of them may remain away from the
polls, and in that way benefit the republi-
cans.
Senator Blackburn seems confident thar
he will be reelected, but good judges of
the political situation in Kentucky are
of the opinion that he will fall far short
of having a majority Of the democratic
caucus. In the first place a good many of
the candidates for the legislature who
are supposed to favor him are in strong
republican districts. and there are others
upon whom he is counting who will vote
for a sound money man. He may be sue
cessful, but just now his prospects are
not as promising as he appears to think
they are.

The man servant, John, brought in the

Yale Farmers.

Is Yale University an agricultural col
lege? 1t wouldn't be safe to jump to
negative conclusion. In so far as the cur
riculum is concerned. it does not appear
that Yale teaches blowing and planting
and compost making. nor yet how to cure
a colt of the bots or set hen, according to
scientific principles. Nevertheless. it ap-
pears that Yale has been receiving ever
since 1862 Connecticut's proportion of the
fund appropriated by congress for the
support of agricultural colleges. Lately
legal proceedings have been instituted 10
determine whether or not the university is
entitled to receive further sums of money
from the agricultural college fund. The
matter is being investigated by a commits
sion in Hartford. There is a possibility
that the commission will decide in favor
of Yale, hence a risk would be taken in
the asserting that Yale is not an agricul-
tural college.
1t appears, as matter of fact, that
Yale has turned out some farmers. Law
yer Mclean, who is contesting the uni
versity's right to further sums from the
fund, admits that much. He says that
during the thirty-three years in which
Yale has enjoyed the congressional ap-
preparation she has graduated thirteen
men who became farmers. The univer-
sity's receipts from the fund during the
period of time mentioned were $4,000
which would make the cost to the govern
ment of Yale farmers educations to be
something more than $4,000 each. Stin,
that thirteen Yale men became farmers
after graduation is a result showing that
the governments efforts to produce
scientific farmers in Connecticut have not
been altogether barren There might have
been a still smaller number of farmers to
come out of Yale, considering the induce
ments to a professional life that are con-
stantly before the Yale men. These in
ducements, it may be observed, have in
fiuenced a number of young men who
might have been farmers to adopt the
more brilliant career of the man at second
Still, 1t is probably not Yale's fault that
her men in the vast majority of instances
learn to loathe the farm and turn to the
law, to medicine, to civil engineering and
to athletics. 1t can hardly be expected
that a man who has learned to know that
crab grass is ''panicum sanguinalis' will
be willing to turn out of bed at half past
four in the morning and so to killing it
with a hoe

The new democratic tarlA law has been
in operation now for thirteen months.
The collector of customs at the port of
Philadelphia has just completed his re-
port of receipts of customs for that period
of time. The reports show that the re-
ceipts under the Wilson law from septem-
Der, 1894. to October, 1895, were SAL Up o..
Under the Mckinley law in the correspond
ing period of time in 1898 and 1894 the re-
ceipts were $500 Cps. 90. showing an excess
of receipts amounting to $5.7S5.24S.12 in
favor of the new tariff. And still there
are people who insist that the new law
is not as good a revenue raiser as was
the law that it supplanted.

The free silver agitation seems to be
dwindling TO a spent force. On all sides
can now be seen evidence of popular SEN
timent based on sound sense and pledged
TO sound money. The cry for more
money that resounded throughout the
early spring and summer is now a mere
whisper and well-founded reasoning is on
exhibition where but little while ago
stood the specter of financial folly. The
practical politician finds II difficult to I'M
derstand why the white metal boomers
went to work so vigorously when there

silverite activity came naturally; was the
unthinking reaction consequent upon the

lengthy period had paralyzed the manu-
country.
