Gov PImgrCc's .Ss'asess

The following is a part Of
Gov. Pingree's address delivered
before the Nineteenth Century |
club at New York:
81 am a little ashamed to say |
thai ten years ago | knew but
little about municipal affairs. | |
was like thousands Of other plain
business men who imagine that
they are good citizens, but who
not only allow but expect those
upon whom they look down with
contempt to furnish them with
good government. They grumble
at the results Of caucuses that
they do not attend and complain
of the mismanagement Of those
whom they take part in selecting.
| have come to believe that it
would be a wise law that would
prohibit men from voting who
have voluntarily abstained from
taking part in nominations"
The governor reviewed his
connection with municipal affairs
during the past seven years.
Detroit, he asserted, had long
been safely Democratic; It's
streets were mostly unpayed,
but had been given away to
street cars and gas companies,
etc. One could not drive out Of
the city on any prominent street
without paying tolls; the city
was less than half lighted, but at
exorbitant cost; and apparently
all-powerful paving ring existed; ;
Urge tracts in the heart of the
city were paying for more taxes;
the street cars were wretched,
uncomfortable and drawn by
horses; the original street rail-
way charter for thirty years and
} authorizing five-cent fare without
transfers was renewed for thirty
years after it had run but thirteen;
the municipal boards were con-
Quoted Independently of each
. other and of the people; the
, pavements were Of the worst
character; most of the park
grounds had been given away,
and all electric light wires were
stretched on poles.
81 take some PRIDE" con-
tinued the governor, Gin saying
that at the end Of nearly eight
| years as mayor Detroit is con-
t ceded to be one of the most heau-
: tiful cities in the United States.
l 1t has its own electric lighting
) plant and is magnificently illum-
: mated at less than half the old
rates; gas has been reduced at
! least one-third in price; there
) are no toll gates left within the
city; the boards are compelled
} to do their legal business through
the corporation counsel and their
7 financial business through the
city treasurer; conduits have
3 been provided for wires: the old
} paving rings have been broken
} up; the horse cars have disap-
: peared and a splendid electric
system established; the old
campanies have beea forced to
sell tickets at six for a quarter
with transfers; a new company,
carrying 40 per cent Of the pass
engers is selling six tickota for a
quarter; all companies have been
compelled to sell workingmon's
tickets during coreain hours at g
centd; an opposition telephone
company has been established by

State Historical Society.

State Historical Society had
found it necessary to keep its
activities in the background,
its great value to the state has
prompted "Tho Gazette" to ask
what is the present status of the
society?
1t has, of course, been a COM
pensation for the delay in its
more extended operations to
know that the society is in the
hands of such distinguished
men as Judge Rose, Chief
Justice Bum, Col. Mitchell,
Hon. W. E. Atkinson and Fay
Hampstead. But it has been
nevertheless hoped that the
organization of the society would
be plshed at an early day to
include all citizens Of the state
and city to whom its objects COM
mends itself.
"The Gazette" is in earnest
wheR re-agitating the subject of
the society, and will await with
eagerness any results It's pres
ident or secretary may choose to
publish. For it is not easy to
exaggerate the interest awaken
ed when the organization Of the
society was first made known,
and it is next to impossible that
an enthusiasm Of so much sig
nificance should have become
lost in the shuttle of the years
business events.
With a united local member
ship behind it the success OF the
society cannot be seriously doubt
ed. 1t would be, in the first place
without personal or factiona
jealousies, the admirable temper
of our literary and professional
men being warrant for saying so
But # the society is to near
anything it must be shaped anC
governed to include among il;
mast active members men from
all parts Of tho state, thus cstab-
fishing at the start a chivalrous
and conciliating spirit, to the
end that its leadership anC
membership may be as one.
This is not implying that tht
spirit Of the society is not chiv'
a!pous and &onciliatory at thu
present time. 1t is alluded tc
because nothing in eXten7e has
been made known to the public,
in consequence of which it il
even nos generally understood
that the society is still in ex'
istenco. 1t was understood tha
q constitution had been prepared
and adopted, officers elected ant

members. But no further inior.
nation has been given out, anC
hence the recurrence Of this
paper to the subject in the inter

The curiosity Of the public ir
the State Historical Society is
not an idle one, but is INDUCED

"The Gazette" can in any way
simplify the public conception
of the society or pqpularize its
object the paper stands ready tc
echo the wishes of either the
society's officers or members
"The IGazette's" own desire is
that the society be not required
to take a step backwards, when
its all-controlling motive COM
mends itself to every intelligent
citizen of the state.
