PARTIES TO BURN.

kI r. J. STERLING MORTON, by way OF
showing that the conservatism OF Nebraska
can be as woolly as the radicalism of Kansas
proposes TO organize party. 1t is his opinion
that the time is ripe for wholesale departure OF good
citizens from the old parties He quoted as having
said in recent interview:
The late war and its momentous issues; the strug-
gle OF the two great parties over bimetasm; the rise
decline and absolute decay OF Popusm-all these
clements contribute to a situation as pregnant as
those which gave birth to the Republican party on
the approach of civil strife. My investigation
teaches that the time is ripe. l do not care to
pose particularly as the head OF the new movement
therefore 1 will not at the present go into details
But will say before July call will be issued out
lining the plan and it will be signed by men OF ma
tional fame and of tried political worth"
While Mr.. Morton. exhaling the odors of en-
balmed Clevelandism, is thus ralying the hosts OF
moribund conservatism. Mr.. Pingree of Michigan
who plays Populst variations on Republican har-
monies; is sweating the collar OF him to organize a
new party on progressive lines
Furthermore, set OF New England men eminent in
Boston, Duxbury and towns OF that kind, propose to
organize still another party. being fully persuaded
like Morton and Pingree that existing organizations
inadequate to the political needs OF the time and
Of the people This movement is headed by Edward
F. Hale and its object is to extingush the war spirit
OF the people, establish international arbitration and
uphold the hands OF the mk-white Gar at the com
ing peace conference which that imperial friend OF
humanity called for just before he decided TO crush
Finland
Here then, are three novelties in the way OF po-
ltical organizations to be put upon the market dur
ing the coming summer. Each OF them comes well
recommended, and is designed to fill the yearning
void OF lone-fet want OF course tbA oood oid
parties will continue in the field long enough at least
to welcome the and invite them to come
out of the wet and be taken in We shall then have
TO help in the celebration OF this Fourth OF July Re
pubicans, Democrats, Populists, Gold Democrats
Socialists Labormen Woman Suffragists. Prohbi-
tionists, Mortonites, Pingreeites and Haletes-and

manliness enough to admit 1t, much less to commend
it Fortunately the effectiveness OF the service IS not
dependent upon official acknowledgment The press
does its work. and whether that work be approved or
denounced, it adds its strength to the forces which
tend to municipal Improvement.
The critic is too often regarded mere FAULT
finder. 1t would be more accurate to regard him as
truth finder since it is his task to weigh all things
and seek out what is for the true welfare OF the com
munity II a city lacked the testing power Of an un-
sparng criticism it would be exposed to thousand
shams in the garb of reform and thousand jobs
bearing the specious guise OF Improvements. 1t would
make no progress, because its energies would be
wasted in hundred devious channels instead OF be-
ing directed along the one channel in which real
progress is possible
1t would hardly be an overstatement to say that
criticism and progress are nseparable Where crit-
cis exists and is free there must be progress, since
its stimulus incessanty applied to officials and to ct-
zens alike, renders stagnation impossible in a COM
munity possessing any faculties of activity at all On
the other hand it is doubtful if there would be any
notable progress in community lacking in criticism.
since the natural inertia of in Office would cause
them to rest content with their salaries in dleness
forever unless some power forced them to action.
Taking all things into consideration, the Birming-
ham Council did well in conferring the freedom of
their city upon the unsparing critic OF thirty seven
years service. 1t is safe say the honor has been
conferred upon many military hero national
statesman who was less worthy of it. The service of
editor is OF the kind that officials generally like
admit but there is scarcely city anywhere in the
United States OF which it might be said that its
municipal progress is in large measure due to the
unsparing criticism of its local press.
The San Francisco call., 1899-04-02
CRITICISM AND PROGRESS.

IRON the London Chronicle we learn that the
Birmingham City Council recently conferred the
freedom OF the city upon Mr.. John Thackray
Bunoe. who has Just retired from the editorship OF
the Birmingham Daily Post after service of thirty
seven years. The Lord Mayor. in proposing the
resolution, stated that the Council recognized that the
progress OF the municipality due in large meas
to the. judcious criticism Mr. Bunce had unspar-
ingly shown in his journal.
The item is OF some interest as an illustration of
the relations which exist in Great Britain between the
press and public officials but its chief value is the
statement of the recognition OF the service which un-
sparing newspaper criticism renders 10 municipal
progress. The relations between the press and
municipal authorities afe not the same here as in
England but the service OF the press essentially the
same in both countries.
II is not at all likely that we shall see in the
United States any incident parallel that OF the Bir
mngham Council. As rule our municipal officials
not capable OF appreciating the value of the cr-
cism which their acts are subjected and even when
they conscious OF its usefulness they rarely have

MORE EXPLANATION DEMANDED.

~ UR esteemed contemporary, the Examiner
Z answers our question with reference to its
leadership in the last campaign by saying that
had The Call united with it in promoting Democratic
success Judge Mcguire would be Governor, a
Democrat. would be comfortably installed in the Fed
eral Senate Mr.. Huntington would be in control
OF the Railroad Commission, and Governor Gage
would not possess the power to drag the government
down to the Burns level by manipulating the patron
age OF State and city.
All this may be true but will our contemporary pur-
the subject trihe further and tell what good
would have been accomplished had the government
been given this political complexion? What did the
late Democratic Railroad Commission do toward set
Ting the transportation problems of the common
wealth? True it is alleged that it caused Mr. Hun
tngton to depart hurredly from the State but what
good did that accomplish? Mr. Huntington has re-
turned as fresh and chipper as ever. The late COM
mission did not reduce rates OF transportation, or
ameliorate any OF the evils incident to raroading in
California Being at loggerheads with the Southern
Pacific, it could for shippers the or
dinary courtesies which always granted to a
mission friendly in character
So far as Judge Mcguire goes, we are not prepared
to say that he would have been any Improvement
upon Mr.. Gage. Mcguire is patronage cormorant,
and his head is filled with reform" ideas which are
more or less dsconcertng, We believe and have al
ways said that go Judge Mcguire is honest,
but do not believe that politically he is sincere or
that if he were Governor he would attempt to
redeem many OF his extravagant platform promises.
He would simply sit down. as most Governors do.
and figure upon getting many places for his friends
as possible without reference to the interests of the
taxpayers.
However, political parties are judged by their
thing accomplished by the local administration which
preceded the present OF substantial lasting
character The city government absolutely the
we have had for ages, and it entirely Demo
cratic. The State government was fairly we'll con-
Quoted but beg 10 remind contemporary that,
with the exception OF the Governor it was Republi-
can. At the present time we not prepared to ad-
nit that Democratic Senator at Washington would
be an Improvement upon no Senator at all.

Dull witted as a burro, he essays the
facetious with pitiful result. He can

1 Shall never forget the spectacle Gage
