The Masurier Ordinance.

The action of the Ordinance Committee
last night in favorably recommending to
the Council the ordinance offered by
Captain Masurier, to prohibit city en-
ployes from acting as Judges Of cleo
tion or holding seats In party commit
tees Is gratifying. and in our view, the
report should by all means be adopted.
Fl. It is represented by those who favor
this reform, that at present, there are
many city employees holding positions in
connection with elections. and local par
l5ty machinery, and they contend that the
interests Of the city can be best sub
served by putting an end to this system
and having the political affairs of the
city conducted by citizens in no remote
way Interested In results. Well regu-
lated business concerns object to parti-
san political activity among their en-
ployes, and after all, the city is but a
great business institution, and its stock
holders. the people, will feel better sat
isfied If those in their employ shall at
tend strictly to business and leave the
conduct of elections to citizens not thus
engaged.
The proposed reform is healthful one
and should by all means DO inaugurated.
