BRITISH COUNCIL POLITICS.
P~artisanship Exists in City Bodies in

United States.

Americans have cultivated the belief
that partisan politics in the council is
inconsistent with good government and
yet British council politicians are not
NJ innocent Of partisan tendencies rs
We are taught to believe, says a writer
in the World To-day. In the first
place nearly every member Of a British
council is nominated by the ward caucus
Of the national party to which he be-
longs.
Ilammersmith, in LONDON, With a
population of 100, 1000, may illustrate
such organizations, for there the Con-
s~eryatiye club, whics elects ana claims
members Of the borough and county
councils, as well az parliament, has "a
complete borough organization with an
executive committee Of 60 members, a
like ward organization in each Of its IL
wards, fixed places of meeting and a
regular printed year-book. Like or
CARNATIONS exist throughout the cities.
The civil service is not entirely free
from partisan council influence. 1t is
affirmed by many, though denied by
.oInc, that tho late Sir Arthur Forwund,
the great conservative leader, said: 81

ing a client accused Of stealing a
duck. He set up seven defenses: %
The accused bought the duck and paid
for it; t2) he found it; CD it was
given TO him; 60 it flew into his gar
den; 60 it was put in his pocket while
he slept; 6 and 7 are not recorded:
but an amicus curiae suggested that
there never was any duck at all. The
accused was acquitted, not because
they chose any particular defense, but
because they did not know which to
choose. and so gave the prisoner the
benefit of the doubt. '-Spectator.
