THE WASHINGTON POST CATCHES
A TARTAR.

The Washington Post is one Of the
most blatant of the newspapers that de-
nounce England il column after column
for her war with the Beers. The Post
has been citing the eminent historian
Lecky. as authority for its denunciation OF
England, and this has brought from the
the Rev. DR.. Randolph McIlim, of Wash
inston, the following most delightful re-
tort. 1t is a little long, but will we'll
repay perusal:

adyerted in your columns 10 the con-

those of Mr. Leclly, and may see Sor
themselves how this great writer throws
the enormous weight Of his opinion into
the scale against England and in favor
of the Beers, l subjoin a few extracts

DUTIES OF CITIZENSHIP.


Chicago politicians are considering
proposition to raise the annual salary OF
each member Of the Board of Aldermen
to 5000 a year. 1t has been argued that
members Of the Richmond City Council
should be paid a good salary. But 1t is
doubtful if the public service would be i'm
proved thereby. 1t might. to be sure,
have the effect 10 make the position SO
desirable as that there would be a livelier
contest each year between prominent
citizens for positions in our legislative
body, but as a rule members of the Rich
mond City Council and Board Of Alder
men serve their city in a true patriotic
spirit, and their work is a labor OF love.
Such a service is not to be purchased
with dollars and cents. We do not mean
that a Councilman would necessarily be
any the less efficient or patriotic If he
were paid q salary But the man who
goes to the Council in the right spirit
and who serves IN the right spirit Will
work as faithfully without a salary as
with it, and the chances are that If there
was salary attached the scramble
would be SO great as to discourage men
who have no taste for partisan politics
from entering the race.
The surest way for city to get a good
legislative body is for the citizens them
selves to take an active interest IN
municipal elections, exert themselves to
bring the best men forward, exert them
when such a Council has been secured,
to take a lively interest in its work and
to aid the Councilmen in the discharge
of their difficult duties. The trouble is
that many citizens are too prone to stay
at home and leave the ward politicians
in control of local politics. There are
many prominent citizens in this city who
never take the trouble TO vote in a prl-
mary election, who give the subject Oh
local politics no attention whatever, and
vet these men are the men to complain
if the city's affairs are not properly con-
Quoted. And so things are allowed to
drift along from year TO year unui by
and by there is big floating debt ana
"a threat of increased taxes, and then
there is a general awakening. When
once the people are aroused they Will
turn out and elect a reform ticket, ana
things will go along well for few years
until. through indifference, a political
CLIQUE again gets into the saddle ana
makes it necessary TO have another
-.arn1Isemeut" This sort of thing could
be avoided if the representative citizens
.of the city would always take lively
interest in public affairs, and see to IT that
the right sort of men are elected 10 I'LL
the Office.
The right of suffrage carries with it
grave responsibility. The government
has claim upon every citizen who has
the right to vote, and this is an ob!iga-
ton which cannot with impunity be
shirked It is as much a mans duty to
vote and to aid in the establishment ana
maintenance of good government as 1t
1t his duty to take up arms in time OF
war. There are sins Of omission In
political life as well as in religious life.
