Evidence is accumulating that the move- ment for purity in municipal government fs growing in strength. It is a long fight to overcome the rule of the “practical’’ poli- tictan in the great centers of population, but the progress that has been made in the past few years is encouraging and the signs all point to an ultimate victory over ring mi!s-rule in cities. News comes from New York state to show that not alone in the metropolis and Brooklyn but In such cities as Syracuse, Rochester and Albany the re- form element is gathering force and in- fluence, There is on all sides a tendency to divorce municipal questions from general political management and this eventually commands the attention and respect of the intelligent voter who can but realize that the conditions thet surround him daily are far more important than those that affect him only indirectly. The machine politicians are lending a hand in this move by accepting the state of things and nominating men who can be accepted by the citizen who cares more for true worth and merit in a candidate than the amount of his “pull” or the degree to which he can be “pulled” by the ring in power. The old-time political leader, the former professional candidate, the ward heeler, the district leader, all have come to the end of the rope in the large cities, thanks to the brave work of the men who have dared to fight for cleaner administrations and purer elections. The issues, too, are more sharply and clearly defined than before. There is not a city, of whatever size, that Is tot anaually divided in opinion on some ma:- ter of municipal housekeeping, which should be plainly submitted to a vote, regardless of other considerations. Divorce these is- sues from “politics,” head the tickets by the known advocates of the questions in point, regardless of their former party affiliations, and the people can vote intelligently, with less chance of being buncoed into accepting something they know they do not want. In New York a constitutional amendment has been adopted, to take effect in 1897, that separates city from state and national elec- tions. It Is expected that this will result in @ material improvement in the character of the governments of cities by limiting <he attention of citizens to the real, local Issues and preventing them from indulging in trad- ing ballots, that dangerous pastime of the voter. —__—_+ ¢ = ___ A Specimen British Argument. It is stated with all solemnity in certain London dispatches that the Monroe doc- trine of this government is absurd because the British nad an establishment in Ameri- ca before the United States became a fact. If this be the sole defense of Great Britain im Its present emergency, Lord Salisbury would do well to assume at once a totally Legativ2 attitude on the whole case. The pric- establishment of government on this territory by Britain is of course to be con- ceded, just as the present existence of the city of London is to be acknowledged. But there is no possible answer to the idiotic claim that the Monroe doctrine is unjust because this nation was not in existence before the conditions that gave it birth had ccme into being. As well declare today the entire occupation of the Americas by the white races to be dishonorable because the aborigines were here In the beginning. The Monroe doctrine is not a claim for territory, but a national policy, pronounced as a measure of defense against the known ten- dencies of European rations to acquire, by the sheer force of overwhelming power, ter- ritory in our vicinity that, being enlarged and strengthened by successive aggressions, would eventually become a menace to the integrity of this organization. Were it not for this principle doubtless the entire coun- try to the south of the United States would be either directly or indirectly in the hands of European nations, for commercial as well as political purposes. The priority of the occupation of American territory has no place in this or any similar contro- versy. The United States did not come into existence through the courtesy of Britain, but because of the natural law which breaks the bonds that fetter men of spirit and capacity. Great Britain lost all terri- terial rights it ever posséssed south of the great lakes when the first shots of the Revolution were fired at Lexington. Its an- terior claim ceased with the signing of the treaty of Paris. Thenceforth it was as one that had never existed, so far as conditions south of the St. Lawrence were concerned. And yet the modern Briton still prates of prior possessions as confidently as though the Union Jack still floated in Boston! —___+ + = —____ Congressman McGann of Chicago has get a pace in the way of political morals that may bo too swift for a great ma- jority of public men to follow. Having be- come convinced, through his own tnvesti- gations, that his election to a seat in Con- gress waa not legal, he resigns from that body and voluntarily retires to private life, minus the income of a representative but plus the ease of conscience that comes frcm a worthy deed. This spectacle is worthy of wide emulation, and the game and example of McGann should be borne aloft by the political reformers who be- Neve in purity and honesty first, last and at all times. ——___ + +2 Some of the campaign orators would be more convincing if they did not undertake to persuade their hearers that their par- ticular candidate is immaculate, while his opponent is unrelieved in his iniquity. —__ + +< —____ The Mermon Church should realize that, in the present terdency of sentiment, it is to its interest to keep from attracting any more attention than is absolutely neces- sary. —___+ es —__ Speaking of local option, the District of Columbia would like a little of it in the selection of Recorder of Deeds and kindred officials. —___ + ee -___. There were only seventy-eight men at work on the post office building today. ——__ + «= Perils of the Pave. Bicycle riders are complaining of the drivers of coaches and carriages, and pe- destrians are complaining of the bicycle riders. What is to be done? A few years ago the users of the wheel were so few in mumber that there was little difficulty about regulating their speeds and prevent- ing accident. Now they are so numerous that some special provision must be made to prevent a general sense of dissatisfac- tion on the part of all the users of the city’s streets. If the drivers of horses would but realize that the bicycle has come to stay, that it is now almost as necessary as the horse, and that its rider has quite as much right to the thoroughfares as any other, a great deal will be accomplished. But meanwhile the wheelmen must recol- lect that they do not own the streets and that pedestrians are in more danger now the part of those who ride the machines that are so frequen’ streets. Pedestrians, in turn, must that their safest course in crossing s1 the cyclist to dodge him. Another most excellent rule ta to stand perfectly still when « wheel approaches, but with the wheels increasing in number into the many thousands, proyress might become very slow If this rule were foilowed implicitly. The best directin of all Is: Don’t dodge. But the burden of the precaution is on the vheeiman. Betag lighter and swifter than the horse-drawn vehicle, he must do most of the work of avoidance, and he must not be permitted to be led by the smoothness of the streets into the belief that has full license to “scorch” whenever he touches foot to pedal. Perhaps the matter will ad- just itself when all the different classes get accustomed to the new conditions. ——__-+ « + ___ ‘Washington the Proper Place. A correspondent has written to suggest that a great international exposition be held In this city in 1900 to celebrate not only the beginning of the twentieth cen- tury—parting for a moment from the great controversy ‘over this event—but also the birth of the national capital. The idea is excellent, inasmuch as it calls attention to the evident fact that if there is to be any exposition held in this country in that year Washington is pre-eminently the place at which it should occur. It is a question whether Congress could be persuaded to grant sufficient financial aid to make the great fair the striking success that it must be, if held at all, and if any efforts are to be made in this direction work should be- gin at once to impress the legislators with the appropriateness of this city as the scene of such a national jubilee. One drawback, however, presents itself to the Proposition. Pians have already been made and preparations pushed for the great Paris exposition of 1900, and this event would doubtless interfere seriously with a similar enterprise on this side of the water. The matter is worth discuss- ing, however. —____+ +. _____ It is to be hoped that the charges against the moral reputation of Mr. Van Alen will be disproved. Otherwise it will be hard to realize that this is the same J. J. Van Alen whose {ideas of refinement were such as to prevent his participating with the populace in their elections. —____+ + =____ The southern representatives of capital are dividing their time almost equally be- tween booming the Cotton Fair and holding indignation meetings over Mr. Bowler. It wili doubtless be a satisfaction to the administration to start into business this fall with a nice fresh supply of foreign complications. ———_—— + += ___ Some arithmetician might make himself | interesting by showing how many ultima- tum exhibits it takes to make one real bluff. ————_+ + It would not be so unpleasant to have the pugilists back out of a fight if they would | only consent to keep quiet about it. ——__ + e+ —__—_ SHOOTING STARS.

New York Cor. Phila.

Senator Hill is aware of these purposes, and, instead of opposing them, looks with some favor upon the plan, although he has not as yet committed nim- self to it. Immediately after the election of November these plans will be vigorously pushed, and it 13 probable that at the state convention of the winter at which dele- gates will be chosen to represent New York in the national convention they will be instructed to cast the vote of New York asa unit for Mr. Whitney. All this, how- ever, is dependent upon Mr. Whitney’s de- cision, and it Is thought that if the elec- tions throughout the country this fall In- dicate that the democracy has no reason- able hope of success in the national cam- paign Mr. Whitney will decline to permit any use to be made of his name. a The Death of Pagilism.
