How to Get Good Councilmen.

A correspondent, writing in yesterdays
paper, refers with interest to a recent
article In The Times-Dispatch on town
government in England. and by way Of
addition, tells us how they choose coun-
cilmen In the English towns.
THE plan" says he. us very simple.
To become member of an English Town
Council the aspirant must petition in
writing to be placed on the ticket. He
must supplement his petition by writ
ten second, signed by another voter of
his ward and he must support his appll-
cation still further by an enlargement:
signed by eight other voters OF his ward.
Thus, and only thus, can he get his name
on the city ticket. Convention. mass
meeting, primaries or caucuses are not
permitted
Possibly we in America will learn by
and by that municipal government Is
business and not politics. But we have
not YET come to that state OF grace, and
politics rules. There IL no doubt, how
ever, that the English way IS the best
for town government,

Disrespect to General Lee.

The condition of the grass plot around
the Lee monument Is disg,aceful. It is
like an unweeded garden. and has every
appearance OF slovenly neglect. Whose
fault is it? Some say that it is the States
business to keep the grass cut. and others
that It is the city's business. No matter
1t Is somebody's business, and the work
should be done at regular intervals. Ono
Of the Capitol Square convicts with n
lawn mower, could cut the grass within
an hours time. and whether or not 1t
is the duty Of the State to have 1t DONE
a little extra work of this character
would not subject the authorities to a
legislative investigation.
II there is a plot Of ground In the city
which should be kept as green and beau
tiful as possible, It IS that around the
statue OF the beloved Lee. We never lose
an occasion TO do honor to his memory,
but what must visitors think of US when
they see the disrespect we show to his
monument? 1t Is shame upon the
whole State.
