MUNICIPAL CABINETS. /"

The belief that municipal politics
should be separated from State and ma.
tsonal politics has grown remarkably
within the past few years and IVES es-
peciably noticeable in the elections held
last week. In every Western city where
independent candidates ran they received
an unusually large number of votes. and
the indications are that the proposed mu-
nicipal party will soon become reality.
The result in Cincinnati was extremely
gratifying, not only ON account of the
defeat of the notorious Republican boss,
George b. Cox, but more especially he
cause the independent Democrat, who
WAS elected mayor, made his fight as an
anti-ring man, and pledged himself to
give the people non-partisan business
administration of city affairs. Mr.. Gustav
Tafel announced in advance the names of
the men he would ask to act as his advis.
ers, or Cabinet. In doing this he is fol-
lowing example set by Mayor Josiah
Quincy, of Boston, who was elected as
reform candidate under circumstances
somewhat similar to those prevailing in
Cincinnati. Mayor Quincy's "Cabinet"
is called the Merchants Municipal Com
mittee, and while it has no official au-
thority it has given much valuable advice
and maintained beneficial supervision
over the city departments. The support
ers of Cox tried to make the people be.
lieve that Mr.. Tafel would be controlled
by Democratic ring as bad as the Re-
publican machine, but ON this point the
candidate said:
'In order to effectually silence all criti.
cism of that character and to crystalline
the issue in this campaign into one as to
whether there shall be continuation for
three years of Boss CoX's rule or of indie
pendent and honest rule by the people
and for the people, through those neople
and answerable to them alone, now de-
clare that If eleced TO the Office of mayor
| will follow the enlightened example Of
Mayor Quincy-o f Boston, and consider as
my unofficial advisory board the follow.
ing gentlemen; Thomas Morrison, II. A
Rattermann, w. w. Taylor, Jacob
Schmidtlapp, Franklin Alter and Henry
O.. Urner. With the counsel and assist
ance of gentlemen of such high character
and patriotic motives 1 do not doubt but
that we could give the city of Cincinnati
an impetus for tthe fuure that would
make the city OF Cincinnati what it ought
to be and can be-one of the most beau.
tiful and prosperous cities in the United
States.'
The gentlemen named 'as advisers are
all representative business men of the
highest standing, ,-and while they repre-
sent different national parties they agree
that the only way to run n municipality
successfully and honestly is to apply bus

NEWSPAPER INFLUENCE.

All of the newspapers published in Chi
cage, except one, opposed the election of
Mr.. Carter Harrison, Jr., rs mayor, but
the people were on his siae and he won a
famous victory. There was once time
when newspapers welded an influence
which made itself felt and there are some
newspapers yet which are influential,
but they are not the kind which sell their
opinions to the highest bidder or are con
trolled by combinations which publish
them SO as to have organs to advance
personal interests. The public has learn
ed to discriminate between such as are in
dependent and disinterested and such as
are run in the interest of jobs and job

NOT HAD THE TIME. 4

Hon. j, Taylor Ellyson, State chairman
of the Democratic party, has probably
not had the time to think abont the sug-
gestion that has been made that he resign
the State craftsmanship while himself a
candidate for governor. Mr.. Ellyson is
probably too busily engaged in the con.
test to think about such minor matters.
The Commercial begs to repeat the sug-
gestion that MIR. Elyson, in Justice to
himself, rs well as to other candidates, do
now resign the craftsmanship. 1t leaves
room for dissatisfaction on the part of
the other candidates and their friends

should be so conducted as to leave not

THE OYSTER QUESTION.

Some OF our exchanges are now discuss
Dug the oyster question. Every few years
this question is stirred up by.-some upper
county editor asserting that the oyster
grounds could and should pay .all the ex-
penSes of the State government. = y
The oyster question needs to he very care
fully Studied, theoretically and practi-
-cally, before judgment is pronounced,
and those who undertake to study it will
find that the solution is not so simple as
1T would appear to the casual Observer
Montgomery Messenger.
Every man who investigates becomes,
more or less, an agitator. Avarice ad.
mires only the man who keeps quiet while
he is being robbed. The agitator must
expect to meet the unconcern and indiffer-
ence of the siuggard and the frown and
sneer of those lesser worms that patroniz-
ingly wriggie at the feet of wealth and
power. 1t is an undisputed fact that the
State of Virginia is AS much the owner of
the oyster territory within her borders as
is the county of Montgomery the.owner
of it's courthouse. It is further and
undisputeH fact that the annual catch of
oysters taken from this territory sells in
the wholesale market for something over
two millions of dollars. What would the
Messenger think of the administration of
Christiansburg if that town owned n
property that produced two millions of
dollars OF wealth annually, all of which,
minus the cost of harvesting was profit,
and still the property returned to the
town profit of only $4,000: Woule the
Messenger sit supineiy in the seat of the
Hcasual observer" and make no effort to
reach the bottom of such state of
affairs? There are such public journals
in Virginia, but we had not classed the
Messenger among them.
