s4EN REASONS

Yesterday morning the Tribune gave
ten reasons" in favor of the move
nert for 4 nom partisan city govern
ment. They require no answering in
detail. as each reason is an agsun..
ton that non-par7tiSans are all in the
same state Of innocence and honesty
that Adam was before he tell; in fact,
there is a good deaa Of the antede-
luvian about the non partisan move
ment in many respects. The comments
following the reasons" are worthy of
seine attention The Tribune says:
It may be said ali this can be done
with the right kind of partisan ticket
The answer is that it never has and
never can be done until human nature
undargoes a radical regeneration.
Fl may be said that candidates for the
various Offices cannot be selected whose
characters would be q guarantee that,
IL elected, they would firmly live up 10
the expectations Of their constituents.
The answer to that is, that ii such
men cannot be nominated. then our CIV
nization is a failure, and we ought TO
find out the fact as speedily as posi-
bic. If enough men, in the city, cam

SEEKING CANDIDATES.

Those who have constituted them
selves d non-partisan party having de-
clared their intention TO accept of no
nomination or Office, and having there
by deprived the city of the
bepeat of their services. are now look
ing for candidates. Yesterday they
were busy sounding various prominent
Democrats and trying TO induce them to
agree TO accept nominations on the
| non partisan ticket. They met with no
| success. though they even called so
early as O'Clock in the morning on
! some of the gentlemen waited upon.
After the manner of Satan, they tried
to lead these Democrats to the top of a
| mountain and there point out to them
al the glorieS of the world all of which
would be theirs if they would but ac-
cept of non-partisarship But this
scheme utterly failed to work.
A remarkable thing about this pro-
ceeding is that while the non -partisans
say that partisan administration Of
the affairs of this city which
is honest and business-like is
impossible, they so to some of
the very Democrats who will very
| probably be candidates on the Demo-
cratic ticket and ask them to aid them
in carrying out their plans for an hon
est and business-like city government
| If these same Democrats are worthy of
the confidence and support of the peo-
/ pie when named as candidates by the
1on-partiSar1s. Why are they not worthy
Of the confidence and support of the
! people when named as candidates by
| the Democrats? The non-p artisans, be-
ing adopts at offering explanations why
| there can be 10 successful adnninfstra-
ton of the city's affairs by a regularly
| organized and recognized party, should
explain why Democrats who are de-
sirable candidates as non-partisans
should not be equally desirable as parti-
sans.
The plan of the non-partisans now is
to place their ticket in the field before
any other party shall. This explains
| why there was such 91urrying and
seurTying among them yesterday. The
object in placing their ticket in the
| field first is TO capture some of those
VINO may be candidates ON the Demo-
cratic ticket. thus, as they assume,
weakening it or compelling the Demo-
Gratis to go to their ticket for some can
didates, and thereby practically indors-
ing the non-partisan ticket The scheme
VIII fail. No Democrat who expects any
favors from his party viii first accept
favors from the non partisan party,
Should that party see fit to indorse any
Democrat after ale has been placed in
nomination by his own party. that
would be another matter.
The place for Democrats is in the
ranks of the Democratic party. and
not in those Of some sporadic political

THE PEOPLE AND THE NON
PARTISAN coMaz17TEE.

The methods of those who have as
ISOLATED themselves together in a non
partisan movement are quite worthy of
study by the people Of this city, They
loudly proclaim that there can be no
good government OF the city by either
the Democratic or Republican or Pop
ulist party. These parties are COM
posed Of the people of this city and
contain all save few who take no
interest in public matters save in the
most spAsmodic way. For the non-par-
tisans, then, to assert that no party
can give this city an honest and bust
ness like administration is to assert
that the people themselves cannot give
the city an honest and b1siness-Iike
administration. First, then, the non
partisans start out by saying, Indirect
~, that the people are not honest or
capable enough TO control their own af-
fairs. And that is the plan they are
proceeding on, The committee of TWEEN
ty hold secret meetings. the proceed
ings at which they guard from the
people as zealcusly as they can. This
is not the way to gain their confidence.
especially as the people have provided
in the state constitution that the
meetings Of state boards and of the
legislature itself shall be open and free
to them, for they believe that there is
safety in publicity.
To further accentuate their 0istrust
Of the people the committee of twenty,
it is understood, will call no conven-
ar
opportunity to express their preference
for this or that candidate but they will
present a cut and dried ticket to the
people for their acceptance. 1t may
be a good ticket. but that isn't the
way American citizens like to have
their tickets made. After manner it
is simply dictation and nothing else.
Dictation from committee of twenty
is just as objectionable as dtctation
! from the head of a church or of a
party or from anybody else. 1t is the
| dictation that is Objectionable, no mat
ter what the source.
In pursuance of its star chamber
| methods the committee Of twenty Will,
| it is understood, appoint a committee
of fifty, ten in each municipal ward.
These will be the ward bosses and heel
/ ers Of the party that is seeking to free
/ this city and its people from the clutch
| of the ward bosses and ward heelers.
! Beautiful schemes, are they not?
! And in all of them the people have
not been consulted once; and will not
be. The people are to be the dumb
driven cattle, while the committee of
| twenty and the auxiliary committee
are to act as the drivers. If they ig-
more the people now, what would they
do once placed in power?

HAIL, AND FAREWELL.

It's heart viii bear another pain,
That for her PHYS tender grace
Its hungry search must be in vain.
Her eyes were homes of silent prayer"
Her heart was like a swelling sea;
And many a grief and many care
Were gathered TO their sympathy.
Her mind was like temple old,
Whose walls Were hung by pious hands,
With offerings Of gems and gold.
The ample spoiis of many lands.
Or. rather. like a Christian fame,
With windows bright and portals wide,
And pouring harmonieS to gain
The throngs that long have truth de-
MED.
To lose her from our eager ken,
To lose her thought to ripenesS grown,
To lose her presence. are as when
a richly freighted ship goes down.
A cflasm cleaves the ocean stream,
The waves close over as before,
The lonely seabirds wheel and scream,
The stately ship returns no more
While dazed and sq1iverng at its brink,
Where sorrow S deep to deep replies
1t seems incredible to think
The grave could win SO rare a prize.
1t cannot be that earth is all,
That she today is less than we,
That death can hold within his thrall
A life like this; it cannot be.
The heart whose throbbing silent is
To earthly senses beats on high
The stdr-iike soul is quenched in this,
To brighten in another sky.
Oh. whom but yesterday we knew,
Whose thoughts today we cannot tell
We know thou still to truth art true;
Hail, gracious spirit and FAREWELL

SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

New York Evening Post: Mr.. Croker S
position is. in fact. a unique one in our
politics. He is the best representative in
this country of the absentee landlord
class which is regarded with such bitter
hostility in Ireland, Mr.. Crockers native
land. He collects his rents in this coun-
try, but spends them abroad. chiefly in
England among the hated Anglo-Sa xona.
He seldom visits US here, except when
he desires to replenisih his treasury with
fresh collections.
Atlanta Constitution: So far from in
creasing the revenue. the Dingiey mon
strosity seems to have dried up the
sources of revenue. So that although
we have had half a year of Republican,
ISM although the Republican congress
has met and adjourned, the country is
still face to face with the dangerous con-
dit.on which the advocates Of Mckinley
and high protection pledged themselves to
remedy.
Philadelphia Press: Captain Dan Cole
has discovered a deposit of 100000 tons
of iron ore in Minnesota. Now that they
have Cole and ore all they need is some
they will have pig iron.

Baltimore Sun. Nearly all our prom
inent politicians and office-holders are
married men. That is the reason they be-
come and remain prominent. The bachelor
politician fades away like the grass,
which is green today and cut down to-
morrow, but the married politician keeps
steadily to the front and holds on ITO the
Offices with a patriotism and a grip that
are truly admirably. The Woman S
'eague is right. a sba 6helor is a blot upon
the face of nature, an insult to society.
and when he becomes a politician a
menace to the commonwealth. He should
be forced to join the woman's rescue as
