THE "AMERICAN IDEA" IN CITIES.
"The 'Araorican idea' in municipal
government" says tbe Chicago Times
Herald, "is nothiog for an American
to boast of."
This is a vory common idea and it
is also a very false one. It is sur
prising that a paper as intelligent,
able and well-informed as the Chi
cago Times-Herald accepts this false
view spread by leisured reformers
wh ose knowledge of foreign cities
goes no farther than the surface.
The "American iden" in city and
local government is as good and
sound as any other American idea. It
is "pay as you go." It stands for a
check to debt. It represents a re
fusal to mortgnge the future for the
present. From 1880 to 1890 the
only cities in the world which made
no heavy increase in debt were Amer
ican cities, towus counties and states.
England from 1881 to 1891 increased
its local debt from 8571,000,000 to a
round 11,000,000,000. Paris re
duced its rate of interest, maintained
its aggregate annual interest charge
and added heavily to its capital debt.
Berlin added alone more to its city
debt in that period than any four of
our leading cities. During this decade
the TJoited States, by far the richest
country in the world, added only
813,000,000 net to its entire local
debt, state, city, town, county and all
Our cities, 858 in number, added onlv
$40,000,000 to their total debt less
than London alone incurred in the
last decade. As for London, it adds
$10,000,000 of new debt this year
and in five years it has added from
$20,000,000 to $25,000,000. We
doubt if all our cities put together
have made as large a net increase of
debt.
The splendor of foreign cities are
largely paid for with borrowed money.
Paris carries a debt of some $380,
000,000, one-half as large as the debt
of all our cities put together, and the
local debt af France is $6,660,000,
000, or five times as large as our lo
cal debt. No wonder they can afford
a good many luxuries. In the .'de
cade from 1880 to 1890 the United
States paid off $1,000,000,000 of na
tional debt and resolutely checked
the increase of local debt. In the
same decade Europe added $2,000,
000,000 to its national debt and $1,
000,000,000 to its local debt.
We advise the Chicago Times-Herald
to revise both its patriotism and
its information. Corruption there is
in American cities, but it is being
scourged and corrected, and the waste
of'corruption, which can be checked,
is, if one must choose, better than
headlong extravagance in debt sure
to be repudiated. Madrid has not
paid interest on its debt for fifteen
years. No American city of like
size has ever repudiated its debt or
ever will. Our city government
have their faults, but they Js.V the
supreme virtue of pej.'ug as they go
instead of d-.ing on posterity for
their present magnificeuce. Phila.

If the Democratic editors now at
school in New York don't learn a
new trick or two it won't be because
there are too few teachers. Dave he
expatiates on the merits of brevity as
shown in his immortal speech, "I am
a Democrat;" Fairchild discourses
on "How to Kick the Traces and
Keep on Top," and Eckles relates his
experience in running a fiat monev
party on a sound money basis. This
pabulum suits all tastes and applies
to all conditious of Democrats.
Lord Salisbury will make a pro
found impression by his declaration
that be believes that the reports of
Armenian massacres are correct, as
he bas been kuown in the past as a
strong sympathizer with the Turkish
policy and averse to insisting on re
form in Turkey.
It docBu't seem to occur to the
Populists who are concerned lest the
Supreme Courts's decisiou, which
makes the Income Tax act unconsti
tutional, will paralyze Congress, that
that is just what the constitution is
for, to nullify vicious legislation.
Its ten to one that the honor
which are now being shown to the
Ameer's son in England will make
him more or less familiar with the
proverbial difference in the morning
The greatest combine on record is
the Democratic Administration com
bine on the deficit. It beats all
other trusts hollow.

June 13 will more than llkoly be the
dale or final adjournment now. On
Thursday the Question was railed nn
and alter a few of the "trimmers" had
succeed In getting themselves on record
for early adiournmont. further consider.
atlon was postponed and will probably
come up this evening. Had the House
concurred In tho Senate's amendment to
quit on tho 6th of June there would have
been no trouble about finishing up all
appropriation bills at that data. Rut it
can hardly be accomplished now, and so
uieiaiii will in all probability bo fixed
upon aa the date.
The House on Tuesday last defeated all
apportionment bills Congressional, Sen
atorial and Legislative. What makes
this action this more reprehensible Is the
fact that It was dono at the behest of the
Senate. That body did not want to as
sume the responsibility of defeating these
measures, and so thoy ordered it done by
the House, and tlioro wore lust enough
stupid members in the House to help
mem out. Many or them reirret thoir
action now that they see the trau into
which they were led. Possibly the bills
will be reconsidered. There is hut one
extervatlng circumstance connected with
the defeat of these bills, and that is, they
gave to the cities of Philadelphia and
Pittsburg increased representation,
which may be sufficient excuse for their
slaughter.
The Revenuo bill, which passed the
House by such an overwhelming major
ity, seems to have been put to sleep In
the Senate. Unless the pressure is
turned on the likelihood is that the bill
will not get through that body.
The Smith school anproDriation bill is
on lor special order Tuesday, when It will
probably pass the House, but what its
fate will be in the upper house la diffi
cult to estimate. The bill adds mater
ially to the school funds now received hv
the rural communities, but adversely af-
lects the cities and more populous cen
tres; hence difficulty in getting it
through the legislature.
The Senate havioar virtually killed the
judicial apportionment bill. Senator
Mitchell's bill detaching Jefferson from
Clarion county and making It a separate
district, was called up in the House by
Representative Smith and passed.
Should the Governor sign the bill it will
give Jefferson a new Judge. Jefferson
county is ably represented in both House
aua senate; a Tact she should not forget
when the next election comes round.
Governor Hastings on Thursday sent
back to the House without his approval
seven bills granting pensions to National
Guardsmen who contracted typhoid fe
ver while on duty at Homestead in 1892.
The bills providod for per diem compen
sation during the illness of these men af
ter their discharge from the service. The
Governor's reason for vetoing these bills
were sustained by an almost unanimous
vote.
The bill to tax beer 25 cents por barrel
passed the House last week and has gone
to the Senate.
The Pelts bill to prohibit pool selling,
receiving and transmitting bets, etc.,
passed the House finally last week after
a hard fight. Since New Jersey crushed
this iniquity out of that State the gam
blers have been trvinor to eain a foothold
in Pennsylvania, and had already suc-
ceeuea in establishing almost a second
Uloster at Essinetoo. near Fhiladolnhia.
Mr. Peltz made a gamey fight for his
measuie against a large portion of the
delegation from his city, bnt the noun.
try members rallied to his support al
most to a man, and the honest young
Philadelpbian was warmly congratulated
on his triumph.
The bill providing for the acknow
ledgment and recording of Nomina
Bonds given at Treasurers' tax sales, in
troduced by the writer has been signed
uy me uovernor ana is now a law.
The bill which provided that the 8tate
should assume control of all county
bridges spanning publio highways, was
recalled from the Governor, and amend
ed to meet his approval. As it now
stands, and in which form it will proba
bly receive executive approval, it pro
vides that the State shall rebuild bridges

This Is the best that can be had at present,
but the time is fast coming when the
Slate will assume all control of such
bridges.

The administration editor who was
the author of the phrase "roosters,
ringsters and ruffians" and applied it
to persons whose votes he expected to
get, declares that Admiral Meade is
crazy. He says this of a navy officer
who reorganized the department of
seamanship and naval tatics at Ann
apolis, who established the govern
ment gun factory, whose books on
boat exercise and naval construction
are authorities, who was thanked by
the then Secretary of the Navy for
his "great skill and judgment" in
negotiating the treaty for the coaling
station at ISago Pago and wbo, when
he was 26 years old, was the subject
ot a general order issued by Admiral
Dalgren and read on the quarterdeck
of eighty vessels, thanking this officer
for gallant service in the face of the
enemy. When General Grant was
accused of getting drunk President
Lincoln, with much interest, inquired
of his accusers wbat kind of liquor
he drank. Tbo Provident thought it
might be a good thing if some other
ofiicers could have some of it. If
Admiral Mead is crazy it is a kind of
crazioes that the navy ought never
to be without. Philadelphia Inquirer,

some four weeks ago with gall-stoue
io the bladder which subsequently
passed and be attempted to ride out
to Woodley, the President's country
place when he took cold, which re
sulted in pleurisy, which caused his
death. Probably very few people in
tbe United States are better kuown
to the genera! publio than Secretary
Gresham as bis name has been con
stantly before the people ever since
the opening of the war of the rebel
lion in which be took an active part,
gaining much distinction while fight
ing under Grant, and in 1863 he was
appointed brigadier general upon the
recommendation of Grant and Shor
man. The war over, General Gresham
returned to his profession, forming a
law partnership at New Albany, Ind.
In 1836 be was nominated for Con
gress against McKerr, but the dis
trict was heavily Democratic and he
was defeated. When General Grant
become President he was appointed
the United States district judge for
Indisua. Until April, 1883, he held
this position. When Postmaster Gen
eral Howe died in April, 1883,
Gresham was tendered the cabinet
position by telegraph, and accepted.
Near the close of Arthur's term, on
the death of Secretary Fngle, he was
appoiuted Secretary of the Treasury,
a position be held until October 1884.
President Arthur, who had taken him
from the bench, bad the satisfaction
of restoring him to the bench at the
close of his service.
In 1888 Judge Gresham was made
a prominent candidate for the Repub
lican nomination for the Presidency
at the Chicago convention. His
liberal views on the tariff created
against bim the antagonism of tbe
extreme protectionists at Chicago.
After Mr. Cleveland was elected in
February, 1893, he summoned Judge
Gresham to Lakewood, N. J., where,
after a consultation, be tendered him
tbe position of premier of the cabi
net be was forming. Judge Gresham
accepted anr1 assumed the duties of
Secretary of State on March 7, 1893.
As Secretary of State in the pres
ent administration, Mr. Gresham has
bad to deal with perhaps more vexa
tions, intricate and delicate diploma
tic affairs than has fallen to the share
of most Secretaries of State. His
treatment of these was marked by the
strong individuality which was part
of the man.
Gresham came from English stock.
His ancestors moved to Virginia and
later to Harrison county, Ind., where
he was born on St. Patrick's day,
1832.
Vist's voice is heard in the free
coinage wilderness. Since he has tbe
President off his hands the Mis-
sourian bas assumed his old atti
tude.
The villiage Hampden, from the
backwoods of Columbus, Ga., who
would run for tbe Presidency as a
shoemaker, silverite and Southerner,
had better stick to his last. The lun
atic asylums threaten to be over
crowded if the idea once gets abroad
that this great country is yearning
for the bucolio thinker of tbe South
ern cross roads to sit in the White
House. Democracy is in a bad wav,
but as yet its leaders know a hawk
from a handsaw. Phila. Press.
