The CITY Commissions.

It is clear that the city council is going
to leave nothing undone to have the law
creating the commissions, which have
control Of the most important affairs of the
city, repealed The appointment of a COM
mittee of aldermen Wednesday night to
present the matter to the legislature is an
indication of the vigor with which the
movement for the adjustment of the com
missions Is TO be conducted.
With the exception of the park and tree
commission, the commissions have never
taken a firm hold on the people Of the city.
They are the result OF the efforts Of very
few men-not more than a dozen. perhaps
who aimed to perpetuate the political
faction to which they belonged. The peo-
pie did not ask for the commissions and
they were not consulted in respect to them.
The argument that there was no oppo-
sition to the law creating them counts for
nothing, because the people had had no
experience with them, and were simply
apathetic when the bill creating them was
before the legislature. They wanted a tree
commission, but had never expressed
desire for any other kind of a commission.
They hoped good might result from the
commissions. Perhaps no serious oppOsi
ton to them would have cropped out had
they not been filled up with partisans of
one faction. The opposition was given
very slight recognition, and some of the
men appointed We're in no respect entitled
to preferment
Only recently the fire commission show
ed its partisan character and its hostility
to the city council by retaining in Office
the chief of the fire department, notwith-
standing the request of the council for his
dismissal. In the last city election the
chief of police was practically suspended
because he was supposed to be against the
faction which the police commissioners
were understood to favor The commission
ers took charge of the police, though as
far as known, the chief was not a parti-
san.
We are confident that a park and tree
commission is desired by the people. 1t
ought, however to be under the control of
the city council. There is another COM
mission we should like to see created
though we are not sure that such COM
mission is possible, namely, commission
to take charge of all the public works of
both the city and the county and to be
responsible to the city council only. Near
ly all the money that is spent in public
improvements in the county comes from
the city. and the city should direct the
spending Of it. With such a commission
we should very soon have all the swamps
and lowlands in the vicinity of the city
drained.

The municipal campaign fight in New
York presents many interesting features,
not the least of which is the absence of
the old-fashioned, ill-smelllug, dirty and
firing torchlight parade. Boss Tweed, in
the old days, used to say it was the pic
lures that hurt The campaigners seem
to be acting upon the suggestion conveyed
They are employing steriopticons and vita
scopes, and showing cartoons depicting
tigers and octopuses and other terrifying
things which are TO be feared if the oppo-
sition wins. AS between the candidates.
the four-cornered fight seems to have re-
solved itself into a contest between Van
Wyck and George, and between Tracy and
Low. The regular organizations are con-
centradng their forces upon the independ-
ents, with the view TO forcing them to
withdraw and leave the field TO the regu-
lar nominees. There does not however
seem to be much prospect Of either of the
candidates Withdrawing.

Tracy,s Tactics DisreputabIe.

1t is astonishing to what base uses a man
will lend himself in making a political
fight. Here we have Gen Tracy, the re-
publican candidate for mayor of Greater
New York, asserting in his public address,
es that the same issues are involved in the
mayoralty contest of Greater New York
that were discussed in the presidential
campaign last fall. Gen. Tracy has the
reputation of being an honorable man.
Why then does he make an assertion which
he must know is not true?
As matter of fact the great issue in
the last presidential election was that of
the free coinage of silver. There is no
such issue as that in the Greater New
York mayoralty contest. No one of the
candidates admits that he favors free sill
yer coinage. Mr.. George has denied that
he favors it. Mr.. Low is a sound money
man, and 1t is well known that both Gen.
Tracy and Judge Van Wyck are against
free silver coinage. Why then does Gen.
Tracy try to have 1t understood that the
fight is on issues which divided political
parties in the last national campaign.
The explanation is that he hopes to scare
the republicans and sound money demo-
Gratis who are supporting Mr. Low into
leaving Mr.. Low and voting for him. His
tactics are .well understood, however, and
do not promise to be Of much help to him.
He and his friends are trying to drag ma
tional issues into the New York municipal
campaign. The other candidates are Civ
Ing their attention to local matters, and
very wisely so.
Gen. Tracy and his campaign assistants
appear to be losing their grip, as it were
They cannot help seeing that their cam
pagn is a hopeless one. The knowledge of
that fact is what induces Gen. Tracy and
his friends, in oil probability, to try and
make the voters of New York believe that
the success of the republican party in
Greater New York is necessary to the
continued existence of a sound money cur
rency throughout the country. The voters
of New York are too wide awake to be
deceived by such clap-trap.

A Philadelphia Snake story.

Hey, mister, come quick! The snakes is
eatin each other?' yelled small boy
excitedly in the reptile house at the zoolog-
zeal gardens yesterday, says the Philadel-
phia Record The keeper hurried to the
cage in front of which the youngster was
dancing about just in time to see the tail
OF lO-foot mottled python disappear in
the yawning throat of another specimen
OF its kind II feet in length. The victim
was new arrival, which had been placed
the day before with the larger snakes IL
was too late for the keeper to pull it out
OF its devourer's mouth, though he tried
70 do 50. Neither could he shake it out or
force 1t to light by rubbing the big snake 5
body. Full of resource, as a keeper has
to be in such cases of emergencies, he dis
patched the small boy to the zoo restau-
rant FOR can of mustard. Ten minutes
later he was pouring mustard and water
down the big python's throat So much
of the mixture was used before any effect
became apparent that he almost despaired
of securing the hoped-for result. A second
canful however, did the work. The big
snake writhed about, choked and splut-
tered and finally in commissions gave up
its prey. Strange enough, the smaller enc
when disepgaged seemed none the worse
off because of its experience, and the other
soon recovered from Its dosing. They have
been placed in separate cages.

Pullman and His Town.

The death of George N. Pullman, the
sleeping car magnate, has started a dis
cussion of the question as to whether or
not he was a benefactor to the thousands
OF workmen whom ne employed That he
was a public benefactor in that he made
travel easier and more comfortable the
world over there is no doubt Travellers
by railroad would hardly know how to get
along without the sleeping car, and al
though they are taxed pretty heavily for
the privilege of riding and sleeping in these
cars, and constantly grumbie at some Of
the rules in force on them, they are fore
ed to acknowledge that Mr.. Pullman rem
dered the world a conspicuous service.
But when he is viewed in the character
of a philanthropist. and especially as the
benefactor of workmen, contemporary his
tory viii hardly accord to him the high
place he evidently aimed to reach In
building the model town of Pullman his
purpose was doubtless to do something for
workmen that would cause him to BE- re-
membered long after he had been remov-
ed from his sphere of activity. He want
ed the workmen of his extensive manu-
featuring establishment to have comforta-
BILE and healthy homes in a beautiful and
healthy town. The town was built. The
homes were owned by Mr.. Pullman and
his company and were leased to the COM
panys employees. Everybody was salts
fed as long as everybody was prosperous
But when the hard times came in 1888, Mr.
Pullman, who up to that time. had been
regarded by his workmen as a benefactor,
revealed himself as a business man pure
~, instead of a philanthrOpist. Although
his sleeping cars continued to pay well his
car works ceased to be profitable. Many
workmen were thrown out of employment
and the wages of those who were retain
ed were greatly reduced. But the rents Of
the model houses in the model town were
not reduced They had to be paid. The
tenants who couldn't pay were forced to
move The man who had posed as a phi
lanthroplst couldn't be benevolent when
beneVolence was expensive, and therefore
he fell many degrees in the estimation of
those who had helped him to accumulate
his great fortune He was criticised more
severely than he would have been had he
not undertaken to be a benefactor to his
employees. They said the time for him to
show his philanthropy was when they
were in distress and needed a helping
hand. His course during the hard times
of 1898 led to the inquiry whether the pur-
pose of his model town was not, after all,
to make money instead of to improve the
condition of his workmen Whatever the
truth of the matter may be it is pretty
certain that neither by his employees nor
by the public will he be accorded a higher
place than that of a thrifty and success
full manufacturer.

Pardons to Criminals.
From the New York Post Qud3.

One scandalous feature OF the pardoning
business in this country is the secrecy
with which it is often conducted. There
is nothing that the friends of a criminal

mency are so anxious about when they
begin operations in his behalf as to make
sure that nothing shall get into the papers
about the matter until the pardon shall
have been granted. The constitution of
Mississippi contains provision which
blocks such schemes. 1t prohibits the is
sue of a pardon for felony, as well as a
Communication of sentence, until the appli-
cation for such pardon shall have been
published thirty days in some newspaper
in the county where the crime was COM
mitted. and requires that the petition thus
published shall set forth the reasons why.

Is harrison the Coming Mani

few days ago Mr.. Henry Watterson
said some fiattering things about young
Mr.. Harrison, the mayor of Chicago. He
even predicted that Mr.. Harrison might
some day be elected President of the
United States. That was very gratifying
to Mr.. Harrlsons ambition, and he
straightway announced his purpose of 60
ing to New York and making speeches
in behalf of Judge Van Wyck for mayor.
A wicked Chicago paper does not share
Mr.. Watterson's high opinion of Mr.. Har-
rison. In an editorial article 1t says "the
white house is not yet gaping for the pres
ent mayor of Chicago" What is 1t that
young Mr.. Harrison has done or neglected
to do that home paper should throw cold
water on his presidential aspirations?
What is there unreasonable in Mr.. Wat
tersons kindly suggestion that Mr.. Har-
rison is presidential timber?
Mr. Harrison is a very young man. it is
true but then Mr.. Cleveland was not an
old man when first elected President. He
made good mayor of Buffalo and his
record as mayor called attention to him
and gave him hrs start in state and ma
tional politics. Let Mr. Harrison make
a good mayor of Chicago--a mayor not
controlled by bosses-and the country will
notice the fact and honor him as he de-
serves.
The present mayor of New York, Mr..
Strong has made an excellent official. He
has failed only in those respects in which
he has permitted political bosses to infu.
ence his actions. If he had maintained
his independence in all respects, and had
acted wholly on his own Judgment in maxi
ing appointments, he would have had
very little to regret. AS 1t is he has
much.
If young Mr. Harrison wants to be Pres
ident let him do what he knows to be right
and for the benefit of the people in all
matters and he will make a record that
will bring him into national notice. The
men who permit themselves to be dictated
to by political bosses, however much abil-
ity they may possess, are certain to drop
back into obscurty sooner or later

A member of the Carriage Builders As
ISOLATION, in session In New York, said in
the course of an address the other day,
that the bicycle had not hurt the carriage
trade and would not do so. People who
formerly used carriages still do So" he
said, and almost every bicycle rider
hopes some day to have a carriage" Con-
tinuing, he said: THE bicycle has reached
the cheap and nasty stage and has seen
it's best days, though It will never go out
of use" What he meant by cheap and
nasty" was probably that riding a wheel
is no longer distinctive; nearly everybody
rides; the wheel has become q business
vehicle of the working people as well as
a pleasure vehicle for the well-to-do 1t
is a great thing for the country that the
bicycle is a democratic apparatus, which
no class can monopolize.
