Spoils” IS
Buffalo, N. Y., November 14.
-“To the victors belong the
upoils is monstrous to the verge
of blashphemy/' declared Char
les J. Bonaparte, president of
tbe National Municipal League, |
at the opening of its sixteenth i
meeting here tonight. Mr. Bona-,
parte spoke following an address I
of welcome by President William!
E. Robertson, of the Buffalo'
Chamber of Commerce, and a;
response by Horace E. Deming, i
of New York, chairman of thei
executive cammittpe.
President Bonaparte appealed;
to his hearers to make patriotism i
an ally in the fight for pure poli-.
tics; for honesty and decency
among public men and a greater
devotion to high civic ideals on
the part of citizens.
“An abuse of public authority'
to promote paltry, selfish inter-1
ests of the moment,' ’ said Mr. |
Bonaparte, “is a crime against |
mankind approaching a sacrifice. |
lie who would drug the people’s
conscience by inflaming partisan
prejudices to the end that he may
proht by the people's breach of a
siuired trust is an enemy to hu
manity, a thousandfold worse
than a prisoner,
'‘The worth of American demo-
ci acy will be gauged, in the irre
vocable judgement of history by
a irue answer to the question:
■'To what manner of men does it
intrust, political power? The one
thing essential to good govern
ment is good men to govern, here
were every citizen forms part of
"ltd government, if the govern-
rhant be bad, the citizens are un-
v/0;'thy. Let us make ourselves
the degradation of oar poli
tics and the meanness and selfish
ness of our public men, and then
let as see to it that all these
wi-ong-s are righted by making
Reforms in Funeral Customs.
Observing that in certain par
ticulars our funeral and burial
customs differ from the most
highly approved and reasonable
customs elsewhere, we, the
Burlington Pastors’ Association,
unanimously and heartily recom-.
mend the following;
1. St.—That “viewing the re-
main's"' shall never be injected
into the funeral of burial service,
but that friends desiring the last
look sliall call at the home before
the service begins.
2nd. “That the burial service
be concluded,, and that, the con
gregation retire, before tlje fill
ing of the grave, flowers being
placed on a suitable cover kept at
the cemetery.
3rd. —That Sunday funerals^
shall not be allowed to interfere
with regular Sunday services ex
cept in extradinary cases; and
that, while Sunday funerals are
often necessary, they should be
avoided when practicable. This
seems important in view of the
well-known tendency in many
cities to pospone funerals for the,
sake of pompous display on Sun
day.
4th—That the last ntes over
the dead be made simple and
brief, and that expens and dis
play be reduced to the lowest
point consistent with good taste
and V7ith due regard for the de-
5th“That sitting up with the
dead through the night is usually
unnecessary, is often the occasion
of levity, and is to be avoided.
6th—That the wearing of black
as a sign of mourning is trace
able to heathen origin, is incom
patible with the Christian idea
of death, ar^d is to be decidedly
discouraged.
