TENSE, ; wb |THE DAILY WHIG "Opifer per Orbem Dicor." ™ MUNICIPAL SCANIALS, Thank goodness there is not s town in Canada which is, or which has been, in the hands of the thugs, thieves and plundérers. The Canadian people do not know what they have been saved | from, but they can realize it - when they read the papers : and magazines and understand what has been going on in some of the cities across the why. ' A St. Louis" record was scandalous in the extreme. The mémbers of the + council _were susceptible to the money to syndicates and corporations. The money was handled through trusty agents, and as the people's privile were voted away there was a distribu tion of boodle to the extent of hun: dreds of thousands of dollars, With exposure came a scatterment of the corruptors. Some of them went to Europe, Some of them stayed at home, forced a triad, were convicted and went to the penitentiary, | Now Minneapolis is scandalized be- yond measure. Its trouble began with the fall from grace of one Dr. Ames, its mayor. For a time he was a model official. Then he countenanced wrongdoing on the part of his friends. For this his party, the demo- crats, rejected him. But he joined forces with the republicans, was taken up by them, elected with their aid, and took office for a third time. He at ones abandoned himself to all manner of évils. According to a writer in Me Clure's, he made his brother the chief of police; he made a notorious gamble¥ = the head of the detectives ; he confined the lewd @haracters in a certain district and levied blackmail upon them; he invited the erooks to the city, gave them police proteetion, and appointed a man to scyre their victims off. There was a shameful reign of law- lessness, and its climax was reached when the thugs and thieves quarrelled among Ahemsefves, The grand jury broke up the vicious "combination, put some of the leaders in jail, and went in pursuit of others. The mayor and his allies fled, and the city, though shocked by the revelations of those | who turned state's witnesses, has taken on a purer air and a tone of respectability, Canadians have reason to feel that 'sometimes the quality of their muni cipal legislators is not high, but they have not been disgraced by such law- lessness as has occurred in St. Louis and Minneapolis. These cities have boasted of a modern system of muni- cipal government. The system has been all right, but the administrators of it have been all wrong. It is better to be good than great, and the reflection pplies to the ici) lity as well as the individual, ---- CHANGE IN MEMBERSHIP. Hon.
