FRIDAY, FEBRUARY I, 1895.
Ex-Governor Pattison for Mayor of
Philadelphia.
This is still an open question, not
onlv with Fhiladelnhians. but. be-
y 1 ' .
cause of the gravity of ihe occasion
for reform there and the national
reputation of the reformer, it is a case
the outcome of which is Deing watch
ed in many places besides Philadel
phia and places which are perhaps in
a murh rftA nf rn!ilirl nnrifiratinn.
If Democratic New York ciiy needed
an exposure through the Lexow m-
Vesriirntin(T rnmmilte PpiMihlirn
1
Philadelphia is not a whit better, and
she no doubt can reveal political cor
ruption enough to nause.ite the
Quaker stomach that is if her " truc-
inwanlness " and hell-bent corruption
is fully revealed and properly dis
played.
The effort to defeat reformation in
advance of the election, by setting up
the claim that the reformer is inelirr!.
ble on the ground of his being a non
resident, seems to be somewhat like
the Quesn Lane Reservoir, inasmuch
as it would not hold water or stand
the test of legal decision or constitu
tional law, when brought fairly and
squarely to bear upon the case in
point.
It is said bv impartial writers frnm
abroad, who have no finger or thumb
in the reservoir pie, that ex-Governor
Pattison's letter of acceptance of this
nomination contains in itself a fair
declaration of manly principle and
purpose, well calculated to lift the
pending campaign in that politically
rouen city lar aDove party lines.
It has taken Philadelphia manv
years ot costly experience to realize
mc mil wisaom 01 rotation of office
as the founders saw it : a Ioitt time
to recognize the senselessness of con
ducting municipal campaigns on
strictly partisan issues and within
strict party lines for the spoils the
various offices can be made to shell
out by hook and crook.
Already the unbiased and those
seeking only good government are led
to hope for and Droohesv reformat
success through the general uprising
ot inc independent voters of the city.
This will be the more gratifying be
cause all independence of action has
been so conspicuously wanting in the
pabt.
By express terms of the law gov.
erning or supposed to govern Phila
delphia, the officers and members of
every municipal department are for
bidden to participate in political con
ventions or to impose or submit to
the levy of a tax for political purposes.
Heretofore there has been no pre
tence to live up to this law, and polit
ical assessments have been levied and
collected right along much to the
detriment of the minority and whole
some government for the majority.
In fact Mr. Pattison holds that the
utter disregard for this law has been
largely responsible for the prevalent
corruption in the municipal govern
ment. He promises, furthermore,
that in the event of his election he
will at least make an effort to enforce
this purifying statute. That's why the
rounders love him less and hate him
more. Hitherto independent Demo
crats and Republicans have been run
by machine Democrats and Republi
cans. A combination of forces alone
can now affect relief, and the better
element of Democrats and Republi
cans have combined on Pattison in
the hope of that relief. In his letter
of acceptance the Governor says ;
I' I will not only not permit the par
ticipation of the officers and employes
of the city government in politics,
but I will absolutely prohibit and
prevent it. I will require of the
members of the fire, the police and
every other department abstention
from all display of party feeling or
interest and from every manner of
interference in political affairs." We
have no doubt the promise will be
kept in case the ex-Governor is elect
ed. - He deserves to be elected, be
cause his success at the polls affords
the only hope of the redemption of
Philadelphia from the ring rule which
has blighted it for so many years.
Concerning this election the Centre
ville Record, of Maryland, says :
" Ex-Governor Pattison, bv fidelity
and integrity, has become a fixture in
the confidence and esteem of his
fellow citizens in Pennsylvania. He
has served them for two full terms as
Governor of the State and twice in
the position of Controller of Philadel
phia. He has just laid aside the res
ponsibilities of the Gubernatorial of
fice, and doubtless anticipated enjoy
ing a Beason of freedom from political
and official care. But the Democrats
of Philadelphia have nominated him
for the Mayoralty of the city. Their
choice is a splendid tribute to the
public and private character of the
man whom they have tested by four
terms of public service.
And the Delaware Pilot also re
marks :
"The Democrats of Philadelphia on
Wednesday nominated ex-Governor
Pattison for Mayor, and he has since
been indorsed by the Independent
Republicans. If the citizens of this
boss-ridden, " Combine"-ruled com
munity give him the support he de
serves his election is more than proba
ble. Philadelphia has for years been
controlled by men who are in politics
for what they get out of it, and the
interests of the city have been neglect
ed to such an extent that much of
the trade which properly belongs to
Philadelphia has been driven to other
ports. With Pattison for Mayor the
rodents that have undermined the
city will be driven out, reforms will
be inaugurated, their affairs will be
economically and honestly administer
ed, and we may expect in the near
future to see an extended and new
Philadelphia."
Newspaper Detective Work.
One of the most important functions
of the modern newspapers is the
detection and exposure ot crime and
crookedness among public officials and
it ariords me broadest held lor the
newspaper as a detective agent. The
vigorous and fearless exercise of this
function by the press is the strongest
safeguard against maladministration in
puunc anairs, says the Omaha Jiee.
The searchlight of the press, more than
any other agency, has been the terror
01 evildoers in an vocations, and
especially among public officials and
in public institutions. The Tamnianv
ring was b'oken up by the New York
j. imes and its start of reporters acting
in the capacity of detectives and Boss
Tweed and his accomplices were not
only driven from power and place, but
made to suffer the penalties of the law
bv the irresistible force of the nuhlic
opinion formulated through the papers
in me great metropolis that were not
owned or controlled by Tweed and his
gang.
The breaking ud of the new Tarn
many ring, the forced retirement of
doss urocKer and tne exposures of
rottenness in the New York police are
all due to the fearless exercise of
detective functions bv the Dress. It
was a reporter acting as a detective
uiai urougnt to ngnt tne horrors ot the
Bloomingdale Asylum, and every
metropolitan paper of any pretension
is always prepared to embark in any
inquisition that would lead to the
detection and exposure of wromrdcine
and crimininal practices in public
places.
Only three weeks ago the Chicago
Herald detailed one of its staff to
play detective upon boodle councilmen
and created a sensation by pinning
down a member who offeteJ to deliver
a majority of the Chicago council for
$25,000.
A Hew Judicial Distnot.
Senator Quay has introduced a bill
to create the Northern Judicial Hktiirr
of the State of Pennsylvania and to
nx me time and places for holding
courts therein. The bill provides thai
the counties of Wayne, Pike and
Monroe shall be detached from the
Eastern district and the counties nf
Susquehanna, Lackawanna, Luzerne,
Columbia, Northumberland, Montour,
Lycoming, Clinton, Union, Snyder,
Centre and Cameron shall be detach
ed from the Western district and that
these counties shall constitute an ad
ditional district, to be known as th
Northern Judicial district. The hill
also provides that the new district
snail De separated into two divisions
and two regular terms of th
and district courts shall be held an
nually in each division.
Legal Liht Wanted.
The proposition to eliminate i,-
ance by publishing in at least one
county paper all future legislative
enactments is verv frond ko (cr
goes j but it don't go quite far enough
in our opinion, we give as a reason
that there are several parties in each
county needing legal light badly, and
if you only thus enlighten th Rb.m.k.
licans what are we ignorant Demo
crats going to do for want of the
light our legislative statesmen are
industriously shedding forth from time
to time. We move to amend by
squelching the Zeriufative Record as
a thoroughly useless and unappreciat
ed expense, and in lieu thereof lets
have published in at least two politi
cally opposing papers ( never mind
about the Prohibitionists ) at each
county seat all laws in their perfected
form that pass the Legislature. This
would be extending the greatest good
where it is most needed.
On the 19th of next month the sov.
ereign power will again have the op.
portunity to try its power on the other
influential powers by electing some
more so called servants of the people.
Let's not forget to exert the right kind
of power on this occasion. This is
our only hope for good government.
The Week In Trade Circles.
Business during the past week has
been unfavorably affected by the em
barrassment of the Federal Treasury.
About $u,ooo,ooo of gold has been
withdrawn, chiefly for export, and the
gold reserve has fallen to approxima
tely $58,000,000, which is less than
$6,000,000 above the minimum re
serve on record. The gold shipments
in four weeks of January have aggre
gated $20,000,000, but even this
large total was exceeded in four weeks
of May last year, when $aa,ooo,ooo
gold was exported. It is not the fact
of gold shipments, but rather the
conditions which have caused them
which creates uneasiness. The dis
trust engendered by the failure of
CongTess to provide a measure of re
lief for the Treasury has been a dis
turbing factor in the markets, and has
caused hesitancy and caution in the
operations of business men. Mer
chandise exports are increasing, and
from New York alone in three weeks
of January is shown a comparative
gain of $1,525,024. A relative in
crease of $6, 1 08,006 in imports dur
ing the same period aflords encour
agement to the expectation of a rising
tide of Government revenue from
customs under the operation of the
new Tariff law. Improvement is
noted in the demand for wool and
woolen manfactures, and the distri
bution of other products has not been
sensibly checked ; but the growth of
demand as a rule has not kept pace
with the expansion of industrial out
put, and the general price tendency
has continued downward. Business
failures in the United States and
Canada during the last week number
ed 422, against 485 for the corres
ponding week last year. According
to R. G. Dun & Co. the liabilities in
volved in failures during seventeen
days of January were $7,501,209,
against $13,668,990 in eighteen days
last year. Ttia. Record.
Without perhaps fully contempla
ting the difficulty of the work to be
done in this country the pope calls
upon the bishops to turn aside the
workingmen's associations from law
breaking and violence. He urges
them to teach newspaper men to re
spect religion and truth and to re
prove those journals which pass judg
ment upon his episcopal or Catholic
acts i finally to turn Protestants to
Catholicism by charity, by instruction
in the doctrine of the Catholic church
and by leading exemplary lives.
in conclusion his holiness recom
mends the sending of missionaries to
the Indians.
Among the many things doubtful
as to who will assist Governor Hast
ings to administer the affairs of state
it is said the newspaper fraternity will
get there as aide de camp in the per
son of Henry Hall, the versatile cor
respondent for the Pittsburg Times.
Considering the heart burnings from
disappointments elsewhere that's glory
enough for one revolution.
