U)ndoi, Jan. I.. Tbe newspaper
here discnssed the speech which th
retary of atata for the colonies, Joseph
Chamberlain, delivered at Birmingham
Saturday evening, particularly dwelling
upon hla reference to the United States
and generally pr airing them. The St
James Ussotte heads It article, "Why,
Come Over and Help Us," and says:
"Preaident Cleveland's government
ha very good grounds for calling upon
the sultan for satisfaction. If it arts
by itse'.f It I likely to be paralysed
by
European concerts, but if it agree
to
cooperate heartily with my the Itue-
tion will be Improved. If the people ot
the United State are really eager to
advance the cause of civilisation and
good order, they can do eo much mora
effectually than by encouraging Venea-
scla to defy us."
The Westminster Gaselte remarks:
"The euthusiastio adoption of Mr
Chamberlain's idea of American aid fa
America, even if lta literal realisation
will not oome about, will nevertheless
do much good in other ways, and in th
long run hit speech Is the best piece ol
new for oppressed Amerioa as that w
have heard for a long time."

It Is CoapleUi.
The queition of abolishing th city
government was decided very emphat
ically laet Friday. The corporation
was tnstained by a vote ol 187 to 81,
giving tne city a clear majority of lOd
volea Tne camrjaiirn was auiet
thromrhoat and tSe result attained was
manifest from the first. We are glad
lk.nn..iinM..msn ami that It waa
settled in the way it has been. We be
lieve that tbe results of tbt agitation
a -
will bavea t-alutary effect open the ad
ministration of city affairs. There was
and is cause for compaint; the city
government was seiioualy threatened
and the people bare geDerouely De
tained it, in order to maintain inch
benefit ai w bar, and with th b pe
tbat we w 111 speedily secure others Just
ss needful. The Eagle contended for
tha city government with this idea la
view. With due respect to those who
bad diffsrent views, It opposed the Idea
of advertising Bryaa aa aback number
and placing a club In tha hands ot rival
towns with which to brain her. Tbat
is tbe wsy we looked at it, and we have
been tally sustained In tbat view by
expressions from all the newspapers In
surrounding towns. But the agitation
Bryan baa undergone is not without its
lessor. It teaches that a great many
neoole in this C-'tnsonit believe tbat
taxes are ton high for the amount ol
goodwsgstoot of tbein, and many
holding this view voted to sustain tbe
corporation because tbey were able to
distinguish betaeen reform and disin
teve'.ioti, and herein lies at the door of
th t i'y government a double ob.ig
lion Wi instit nte at once snch reforms
and ImprovstnenU ai may I necesaary
to brine the public service np to tbe
standard of its cott to the people. Com
nariscn ha shown that oar rate of
taxation is cot Immoderately high, not
above an average for towns ol Bryan's
site and Importance. If we bad ftod
street and sidewalks built and main
tained here, with rlean alleys and open
sewers, supplementing present oflkicn
ev in other lines of public service, we
doubt if ever a word would be said
aloa: tbe o t of the city government.
It Is therefore the plain doty of the
citv o ancil. the law makiot power of
tbe town, to make sack changes In tbe
disbai semen t of the people's money as
will give them tbe improvements de
sired and lust!? demanded. We bave
rock quarries a few miles south of ns
and gravel pits only a litt e wty north
yet we bave to get along with, stumble
over and bark our thins on miserable
plank walks aud crossing which bave
to be renewed every few months and
ere the prod'irt oflumltr mill more
than a hundred n.I es to the east and
soiitb-eatt of as. This plan hat lea
going on years and years and has cost
the town a lot ot money which should
have rn invested in tometbiug more
permanent, eo that now there might be
something to thow for It. It nems im
posi-ib'e to gi t out of the old ruts, but
it is not, and we throw out tbe-e lew
bints to tbe wise, hoping they will
prove tutticient. The spirit uf oppoai
tion to preseut methods i by no mean
dead, ai.l any further lethargy or peg
ligen? on the part of tho-e in authority
will unquestionably arouse it to action
again.
