  • Uslaner, the Bulging Pocket and the Rule of Law, Ch. 9 (1)
    Uslaner, The Bulging Pocket and the Rule of Law, ch. 9 (1) CHAPTER NINE Therefore do all stand fast where you are standing. And lift your voices in the choral anthem, devoted to the poorest of the poor. For in real life the ending isn’t quite so fine. Victorious messenger does not come riding often. And the reply to a kick in the pants is another kick in the pants. So pursue but not too eagerly injustice. From “Finale: The Mounted Messenger,” Berthold Brecht and Kurt Weill, The Threepenny Opera The Threepenny Opera has a happy ending. The small-time criminal Macheath is freed from prisoner and given a lordship and a huge fortune. A thief living at the margins has been rewarded with the great riches ordinarily reserved for big-time plunderers. The lessons of this parable are that crime (and corruption) pays–and that you cannot eliminate small-time thievery or petty corruption. Yet, the final song, “The Mounted Messenger,” warns that this is just a story and in the real world, petty thieves neither become rich nor respectable. Macheath was supposed to be executed, as demanded by his antagonist (and father-in-law) Jonathan Peachum. Yet Peachum ultimately pleads (successfully) for a pardon for the prisoner for an uplifting end to the Uslaner, The Bulging Pocket and the Rule of Law, ch. 9 (2) drama, but he cautions: "Happy endings only really happen on stage, and people are saved from poverty only rarely."1 The rich stay rich, the poor stay poor and messengers from the throne do not reward the latter with unexpected fortunes, much less social status.

There are, however, vast differences between eighteenth century and twenty-first century police practices, and vast differences in society's goals in regulating them.

Immigrants from Europe, farmers, and African Americans from the south moved to cities. The growth of cities such as New York and Chicago led to new challenges for city governments as new demands were placed on city services such as fire, police, sewage, transportation, and water. In order to expand services, cities increased taxes and set up new offices to provide help. In this context, political machines arose.

  • From Ring to Machine: the Evolution of Urban Political Reform Language in Gilded Age America
    From Ring to Machine: The Evolution of Urban Political Reform Language in Gilded Age America Paper Presented to the Boston Seminar on Urban and Immigration History James J. Connolly Ball State University September, 2003 After the Civil War the United States entered the age of the machine, not only in the realm of industry, but in politics as well. The two major parties developed elaborate organizations, their ideological commitments diminished, and they became more thoroughly entrenched in power. These developments were especially evident in cities, where professional politicians mobilized working-class and immigrant voters to create formidable party operations. Reformers labeled these organizations “machines,” a derisive metaphor that evoked a broad set of meanings in an age of rapid industrialization. Exploring the origins and use of that term can help us understand a broader shift in the prevailing conception of how American democracy worked. The significance of the rise of the machine metaphor becomes clear when we compare it to its predecessor. During the late 1860s and early 1870s, as the Civil-War- era ideological commitments of the two major parties faded and as a series of scandals erupted, reformers initially expressed their concern over the corrupting force of “rings.” That term suggested an explanation of political corruption consistent with a traditional republican framework pitting selfish interests against the public good. “Machine” implied a more complex, powerful, and permanent entity. It invited more systematic explanations of the sources and character of political institutions and processes, an impulse consistent with the rising cultural authority of social scientific analysis. The shift from ring to machine signaled a changing explanation of political corruption, one with ironic consequences.

BIBLIOGRAPHIE DES VOYAGES EN ESPAGNE ET EN PORTUGAL Aucun document ne doit être négligé, aucun témoignage ne doit être rejeté a priori, si l'on veut se rendre un compte exact de l'état d'un pays, des mœurs et des usages d'un peuple à une époque quelconque; il s'agit seulement de faire un choix judicieux des uns et des autres et de n'accorder à chacun que la créance qu'il mérite. Les récits de voyages sont une source précieuse de renseigne­ ments de toute sorte, auxquels on a eu trop peu recours jusqu'ici et que l'on aurait grand tort de laisser plus longtemps inutilisés. De même que les mémoires, ce sont des écrits d'une valeur extrêmement inégale : composés, pour la plupart, d'après des notes prises au jour le jour, publiés le plus souvent, surtout dans la période contemporaine, au lendemain même du retour du voyageur, ils sont rédigés avec un moindre souci de la forme que telle ou telle autobiographie'dont on a soigneusement pesé tous les termes pendant de longues années; mais, envisagés comme documents, ils ne peuvent que gagner à cette absence de retouches : le temps n'a pas émoussé l'acuité des impressions, le parti pris ou le soin d'une apologie personnelle n'a pas subor­ donné la vérité à l'intérêt.
