The discoveries made, afforded an on.
portunitv Of stirring the general iiiind,
to persistent effort for reform. The
opportunity was improved, and except
for tile inopportune occurrence of a
presidential canvass, TIM current OF
popular sentiment has ever since NOV
cd steadily in the right direction. The
desire has been extensively entertained
that this movement, which originated
in the national metropolis, should be
permitted to RIM Its natural course and
draw into hariuofiey with itself the
honest masses throughout the country,
and thereby lead to the establishment
Of efficient, self.susfaining and perma-
ncnt barriers against prevalent evils.
The facts, however, warrant an appre-
ne, !,easion so..., tl,st the pending conflict for
broken in on the tendency to reform,
and may completely reverse IT. Gov
ernmental intermeddling with those
concerns ofsocicty, which, under judi
cious laws, might bcncficially be left to
individual action, is the only real evil
actually developed In our system.
