1HE SENATORIAL CORRUPTION

Considerable excitement was cre-
ated In Topeka the other day by the
appearance of the Lawrence Stand
ard (democratic) containing the
names OF nineteen members OF the
last Legislature who, it says, were
induced to vote last winter for Al
exander Caldwell as United States
Senator by the payment to them OF
different sums of money. 1t asserts
that Mr.. Caldwell was elected by
this corrupt means, and processes to
be able to prove the charges. The
list does not include any names from
this or adjoining counties, and until
some tangible evidence is given to
substantiate the charges the parties
named have a right to claim that
they are unjustly accused.
We shall watch the Legislative in
vestigation of the case with much
interest. It will be seen that our
Topeka correspondence reports the
facts as they transpire. The matter
Sholid be f6orolghlY sifted, and if
guilt be Matched apon any one, mer-
tied exposure should folloW.EIfthe
Legislature cannot get to the bottom
of the alleged corruption, somebody
concerned can set The Courts to
work at 1t. That is a good way to
test such charges In the meantime
all should withhold judgment and
denunciation until EtAereE'Is a fair
trial for the accused.

The leeches that gorge upon the
body polite, are by nature and hab-
it unable to see any desirable result
in an. instructive effort of, that body
to free itself from their Unsuitable
maws. They naturally shrink from
the reformatory hand that would so
purify the governmental system as
to render further bloodsucking an
evident and unbearable quackery.
No matter what party be in power,
the "ofiice holders and politicians
OF all parties will strive to perpetu-
ate the present system of Office seek
ing and Office appointing, which is
the chief curse of our country.
Whenever any party needs to rely
upon q gigantic network of politi-
cal chicanery, the sooner it and its
officials go out of power the better
for the people. Senator Carpen-
ter, OF Wisconsin, has the efFront-
cry to oppose this civil service re-
form, which President Grant is try
ing to inAugdrate, under the spe-
cious plea that it Is inimical to the
interests of the republican party.
And it is alleged that Senator Pom
eroy sides with Mr.. Carpenter in
this discrediiGble opposition, and
that all the newspapers under his
influence have been directed to de-
nounce the new system. Such OPP
position should encourage the Pres
ident to enforce the reform. Neither
of those political phosphurs or their
organs are open to conviction. We
would as soon preach official integ-
ritY to Boss Tweed, or financial
honor to the ghost of james. Fisk
as civil service reform to the Car.
penter-P omeroy school of states
men. To wait for reform until
they support 1t, would postpone il
until the millennium. The new sys.
tenn is, doubtless, as yet very i'm
perfect in its working details. But
it is based upon wholesome princi.
pies, and p fair trial will render it
gratifying success. To refuse it 9
trial is to oppose not so much the
system itself as the reforms which
It aims to accomplish. We hope tC
see it put into thorough operation
