MUNICIPAL POLITICS.

| While recognizing the right of Councilman
Al Foreman, ct. al, to manage the affairs of
their party organization to suit themselves, and
refraining from interfering with anything they
choose to do so far as it affects their political
status, The Evening Sun, representing major
| ity OF the people who voted for the council
manic ticket at the recent election, recognizes a
right to speak, in so far as Councilman Fore
mans caucus affects the city's interests and the
interests of the taxpayers.
| And let us add, that we have nothing to say
against either the mental qualifications or NOR
al attribute of Mr. w. III. Force, who was select
ed by Mr.. Foreman and his caucus as candidate
for city lighting plant superintendent But
that lighting plant is an institution about
which there has been much discussion, some
citizens declaring it to be burden and others
a blessing. The latter prevailed when the ques-
ton of closing it down was considered, and
now, in justice to the people who favored oper-
ating it, the responsibility rests on the general
council to see that, it not only is operated
properly, but at a minimum cost. The NUM-
cipal lighting plant is on trial.
Mr.. j. q. keebler, also a Democrat has been
i'm charge many years He seems to be com
petent man and no charges of mismanagement,
lextravagance or irregularity has been made
against him. The plant, of which he has charge,
has been operated as a department of the board
lO1 pubic WORKS. NO communication was nau
with the board of public works in regard TO
the work of Mr.. Keebler, who is "A candidate for
re election. or the kind of man desired for the
place. The caucus, so far as we can learn, pro
ceeded as political machine, disregarding the
claims of competent faithful employees, of the
rights of the board of public works, which must
be responsible for the administration of the
plant, or the welfare of the city, which is en-
titled to the encouragement of faithful, compe-
tent employees, and the economical management
of the plant.
Mr.. KeebIer has been dong much manual
labor in connection with the management of
the plant. Winding armatures is a job that
would employ all the capacity of four-handed
man. Mr.. Keebler has two hands, but manages
to accomplish the feat. Mr.. Force has but one
hand and couldn't possibly do it. Mr.. Keebler
climbs poles and every day in the course of his
employment performs deeds that ne-handed
man can not perform.
While we have all sympathy for Mr.. Force,
who is thus crippled it is certain that as super
intendent of the lighting plant he will require
an assistant to perform tasks, which Mr.. Keeb-
leh now performs himself. If Councilman Fore
man believes that it will be worth the addition
al expenses for the city to secure the services of
Mr.. Force, as compared with Mr.. Keebler, then
Councilman Foreman and his caucus are JUST
fed in their selection. Otherwise, We must be
permitted to view his slate making as a dan
gerous kind of politics.

Consequently, we need men of intelligence, edu-

tastes and demandssof the trade In order to
get such men in the consular service it is neces-

A OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES CONVICT

The final conviction and commitment of Null
ti-millionaire William Morse, of New York, to
the federal penitentiary at Atlanta for wreck
ing bank, is the best answer to the pessimstic
assertion, that if man has money enough he
can escape punishment. The fact is, if a man
does enough, he can always get into the peni-
Tertiary. 1t is easy to talk at random, more
easy than to remember specific eases; but the
unfortunate who listens to wild talk and then
undertakes to defy the law, finds to his dismay,
that the law, if properly enforced and backe'
by popular opinion, is amply sufficient for all
the requirements of the occasion. 1t is true,
that the laws delays are unjust to society and
the individual; but we are alive to that fact
and 1t will be speedily remedied. The fault has
developed as a rank product of our innate sense
OF justice, which inspired us to give a man
every possible lOophole of escape. There never
was worse time for Il man to commit a crime
against society than right now

d. s. Creamer, Attorney General
Denman has filed suit In the courts
Of Franklin county against the surety
company to recover on the bond of
500. 600.
The surety company makes the re
markable defense that the state
funds were deposited in the defunct
bank as a personal account of for
mer state Treasurer w. 5. McKlnnon,
now dead. while interest accruins
from the money went TO McKinnan.
and that the state Of Ohio. undcr

treasurer, has not properly enforced

The action of the surety company
has aroused Governor Harmon and
Treasurer Creamer.
The investigation Of the state Of
fees started BY the senate commit
tee has been picked up just where Z
was abandoned because OF the mys-
terious disappearance OF official books
and records. Some OF the important
records have been recovered. and Il
IS understood that state officials and
examiners have uncovered a large
amount of pay dirt.
A number OF other suits seem Ger.

however. refused to pay on its 500.

and surety company officials revealed

were missing. The contention of the

state and to no one else.

He is Mr.. William Watson, of England, who

THE OWL SERVICE.

1T is remarkable truth that the federal GOV
eminent, so frequently criticized by the private
citizen at distance, has progressed 50 far and
so honestly in the extension of the civil service
system that politicians have become alarmed.
while municipal, state and county governments,
so close to the federal governments critics.
still are prey to plundering minor politicians.
Twice a month the Evening Sun publishes
at the request of the civil service commissions
a score of offices, ranging in salaries from $500
to s., $780, for which examinations are ordered.
