MUNICIPAL GOOD GOVERNMENT.

L , =
For a city government to be no bet
ter than party or political machine
is had enough. In that case It's officers
and employees are selected, and its ad-
minist,ation directed by party or no
lltical considerations, and not by the
public good. and the fitness and capac-
ity of the men. The determining princl-
pie is partizan: the question with them
is not the honesty and competency OF
the man to do the service for which
the office was created, but 'has he
earned 1t by his work for the party. or
the ring. or the boss?" and measures,
likewise, are discussed chiefly as to
what there is in them for good and
faithful workers for the party, or boss.
Even that, however, is far more toll
cradle than a city government In the
hands of men who have no party, nor
ipolitics,-who, through long possession
of power, have even lost their parti-
zanry, and are simply in politics as q
business for the money there Is In
1t, by hook or crook. This business"
is the very reverse of a non-partizan
administration of public affairs for the
public good, and is an unconscionable
game Of self-seeking plumber and truck
ing, in which not only the city Is Ito
let" or for SALE" to the highest bid
ders; but even the party that the ring
or boss, processes to serve, is sold to
the other side; provided 'it pays" the
men in power. This is most shameful
and deplorable degradation; but as we
see in other cities, much larger than
this. 1t is precisely what party gov
eminent OF municipalities tends to,
and finally comes to, If the same men.

POLICE SAVED HIM.

Wealth cannot always purchase do
mestic happiness. This platitude is
| just now illustrated by the fact that
| George w. Carmack, the rich discov-
| erer OF the Klondike. met a somewhat
| violent treatment at the hands of his
wife, of which he still bears the marks.
From outside evidence IL appears that
If police officers had not arrived on the
scene of action the treatment might
have been even more serious. says the
Seattle ost-Intelligencer.
To understand the story fully ii must
be borne i'm mind that Mr.. Carmack is
a white man of moderate proportions,
while his wife is an Indian of large
frame and great muscular power. They
arrived from the North in this city on
July g. and took rooms at the Seattle.
Last night about ten o'clock guests who
We're i'm the rotunda of the hotel were
startled by the sudden and spasmodic
ringing of one OF the call bells. One
gentleman says that without any other
knowledge that anything was wrong
the ringing OF the bell conveyed to his
mind the impression that some one was
trying 10 ring the bell but was beng
violently pulled away from IT, A bell
boy went flying up to roOra SO. from
which the spasmodic alarm was sound
ing vibrantly. Quickly he came back
TO the office, white faced and hesitant
OF speech, announcing tersely that
there was "A scrap upstairs
one of the clerks went TO the rescue
and from the sounds inside the room IL
did not take him long TO decide that il
would be best TO call an officer. Mean
while. he called TO his aid some OF the
help about the house. They entered the
room and succeeded in rescuing Mr..
Carmack from n somewhat dangerous
predicament.
The hotel people were naturally re-
ticent i'm regard 10 the matter. but from
what could be learned 10 aI.,ears that
as soon as Mr. carmack entered his
room last night his wife made violent
assault upon him. threw him TO the
nOor. gashed llis cheek open with some
instrument made long and savage
cut down his trousers. and gripped his
throat with such vehemence that the
prints of her fingers and nails stiI lin
ger there.
When the hotel people entered the
room Mrs. Carmack resented their in
terfcG nee. and it was with great diff
Guilty that they subdued her until the
police officers came.
Upon tho arrival OF the officers Mss.
Carnack sub~fed. she seemed for the
first time to realize that She was ere
ating a sensation. and that she had
placed herself i'm danger OF arrest
She promised that II the officers would
let her alone she would he quiet. and II
was decided To let her alone
No definite cause can be assigned FOR

and three hours in a steam train. Mr..

all the way. Their fares for the whole
