4 MODEL MUNICIPALITY.
Washington D. C.. Is the Best Coysrnsc City
 Ia America.

There is one excption to the rule of misruie In iarge American munich paiities. It K the district Cf Cuium- biA, the national capital, s5 ys Henry
 B. Mac ctarland ill Every boay's Maga- zine. 1t is not the city of Washing ton, for that is distinguished from all other cities in having absolutely no government whatsoever, ss a city. The District of Columbia, now con taining about seventy square miles, and about 30O,0O0 people, is the one place in the United States where the political ideals of most municipal re- formers ars in auy measure realized
 There is no maj. there is no corruption, bribery, or black mail in the administration of its affairs. There Is of course, no doubt that all this is due, primarily to the fact that politics has nothing to do with the business of tue district, which is carried on as business, and, in- deed, on more honorable and more honest principles than much of the private business of the day. The peo- pie of the District of Columbia sur. rendered the elective franchise as one of the considerations for the new form of government and the new arrange ment respecting expenses of the act of 1878. They admitted that they pre-
 ferred taxation without representa- tion, technically, to representation without self government, practically. They fores2w what has been and will be increasingly true, that in exchange for the doubtful privilege of voting they would have the certain advantage of government by public opinion. Looking bshind the forms, they saw that they were getting at once the moat perfect self government and the most absolute good government possi- bic in municipal affairs They had had fuil experience of most of the evils due to the mixture of politics with the administration of municipal ousiness.
 In form, the present government of the District of Columbia is an absolute autocracy not legally responsible to the people. Congress, in the exercise of it's constitutional power over the federal district, in the act of 1878. which the supreme court has called the constitution of the District of Column bia, provided that the executive au- thority should be vested in commis- sion of three men, two of whom should be civilians, appointed by the presi- dent of the United States upon con firmation by the senate, while the third should be an engineer officer of the army of high rank, detailed by the president. They were to be the success sors in authority, not of the mayor, of Washington, whose jurisdiction was

limited simply to the city, but of the governors of the territorial form of government of the whole district which obtained from 1871 until 1874, when provisi )nal commission was appointed to serve until the perma nent form of government ooud d be framed. The commission, although an executive body, was entrusted ny con gress with legislative functions for the making of all kinds of municipal reg ulations, so that it practically inherits the powers of both the governor and the legislature of the territorial gov. ernment. The civilian commissioners are appointed for terms of three years, which expire together, and while they can be removed by the president, are theoretically independent of every body else. And, indeed, there is no provision of law for accountability on their part to the president. Congress can curtail or extend their power, and congress, of course, must pass upon all toeir requests for appropriations from the district tax funds and the na- tional treasury for all the expenses of the district government, and for all public improvements, but congress has no direct power over the commission CTS personally.
 Can the lf-govsrnment of the Dis trict of Columbia thus roughly out lined be adapted to other municipah- ties in the United Stetss? It would, perhaps, not be so difficult as it seems The main obstacle would be the aver. age mans pride in possessing the right to vote, even though he knows iC is useless and half the time is not even exercised, The main requisite would be an alert, well organized, and we'll directed public opinion. But with the right men as commissioners, and with the right quality and quantity of pub lie opiuion active and intelligen tly di- rected, the business of the city might be gradually, and even rapidly, taken out of politics. The suggestion of such change must, of course, be sharply distinguished from the so- called ripper" legislation proposed in Pennsylyania for temporary purposes, and with no application to comprehen- awe and permanent administration of 8 municipality on non.partisan and business basis

A WORTHLESS CHECK
Issued by Member of the Rydrographlc
 Survey.

Sufbel,
 Nj. II. Crawford, young man from Gila county, is holding check issued to him by a government employe against a bank in which he had no funds, says the Phoenix Republican. The employe IS c. &. Olberg a mem Der of the hydrographic surveying party which lately investigated the Verde and Touto Basin reservoir sites. Crawford was employed under Oiberg on the latter work.
 One day Oloerg, being in need Of money, asked Crawford ii he had any Crawford had $50, for which amount Olberg gave him check on ksllner's bank at Globe. Crawford came di' rectly from the Tonto Basm work to Phoenix and disposed of Che check at the Boston store. The next day he went to California, leaving his horse here. The check passed through the National Bank of Arizona, a Tucson bank and the Bank of Giooe. lt was thrown out at kellner's marked No funds," and was returned by the bank route to the Boston store.
 The proprietors aid not know where Crawford was nor that he had horse here. The amount of the check was given up for lost. But yesterday morning Crawford returned to the city and went into the Boston store, where he learned of the worthisssDess of the paper. He had no money. He put his horse in pawn at the Dublin corral for S3O and took up the check. 1 he horse Is very good one, worth not less than S75. He saw no pros peet of redesmlug the animal within a week, according to his arrangement with the corral keeper, but later in the day sold it to Deputy Sheriff James Gibson for S50,
 He will try to put himself in com munication with Oloerg, who is prominent and permanent member oi the hydrographic survey, and will suggest to him the propriety of taking up the check and, beside, making good the amount that had to be sacrificed in the saie of the horse, which Crsw- ford puts at $2O,

FUNERAL SERMON.
Eloquent and Earnest Words by
DR.. c. E. Manchester.

"Our President is dead The silver
cord is loosed, the golden bowl is brok-
en-, the pitcher is broken at the foun-
tain, the wheel broken at the cistern.
The mourners go about the Streets
One voice is heard-a wall of sorrow
from all the land; for, The beauty Of
Israel is slain upon thy high places
How are the mighty fallen! am dis
tressed for thee, my brother. Very
pleasant hast thou been unto me-
"Our President is dead! We can
hardly believe it. We had hoped and
prayed, and it seemed that our hopes
| were to be realized and our prayers
answered, when the emotion of joy
was changed to one of grave appre-
hension. Still we waited, for we said,
1T may be that God will be gracious
and merciful unto u.s. 1t seemed to
us that it must be His will to spare
the life of one so we'll beloved and so
much needed. Thus, alternating be-
tween hope and fear, the weary hours
passed on. Then came tidings of de-
feated sjcence, and of the failure of
love and prayer to hold its object to
the earth. We seemed to hear the
family uttered words Goodbye,
all, goodbye. 1t is Gods way. His
will be DONE and then, Nearer my God
to Thee So nesting nearer to his
God, he passed out into unconscious
ness, skirted the dark shores of the
sea of death for time, and then
passed on to be at rest. His great
heart had ceased to beat.
"Our hearts are heavy with sorrow.
"a voice is heard on earth of kinsfolk
weeping.
The loss Of one they love;
But he has gone where the redeemed
are keeping
| A festival above.
"The Mourners throng the ways and
from the steeple
The funeral bells toll slow;
But on the golden streets the holy
people
Are passing to and fro:
"And saying as they meet, Rejoice

"The cause OF this universal mourn
ing is to be found in the man himself

Of Israel" could not be more appro
priately employed than in chanting the
