that the men IN power are utterly incompetent to gov

bursements are not balanced by the income-so long
the great salaries of some employees are not cut
down and the budget thoroughly overhauled--so long
as the government do not do something to put an
end to the devouring thirst for Office, and does not
moraize the country with works rather than words,
the state of anxiety will continue, and must neces-
sary come to an end which will probably be fatal to
existing institutions.
