Ono Of tho most alarming features In Anlorl
can politics ia the ,lse Of money at elections. Il
ig common snying that man who has moi
fnonoy to spend should NOT run for Office, as h
would stand no chance OF IN election. Thif
feature in politics ia peculiarly noticeable ii
citios, and tic larger the city the mora influence
does money have on tho elections, until, as Il
Now York recently, the Indignant people arlst
and check the tide Of corruption. Ia this prac
.ico ginning footholt1 in tho Wost2 :. Mho1
money ontors into ourpolitics, controls our e1oc
tions, and diotatos who shall be our officers, III
may we'll tromble for tho safety Of republican
institutions; We then have King whom, al
must obey.-Aurora (IN.) NoraM.
Tho Aecrot Of our calamity Ia that VIC ar
perishng Of much government Tie Who'll
batch Of needless bureaus noed to bo Htricke
down as mitch 4ere az in Washington. 4 lIgh'
simple, aud frugal administration is the cryin
waat Of the timca. Iuatead Of rnultiplyin
places, two-thirtls Of what wo now have Bhoul
be abolished. Far better that cue man rule
city with honesty and flrmness, than fifty fool
or knayos, Let us use tho wino Of practsc:
incompetency. Why should FREQ people d
Of excessive adm!nistrasion7 The need Of til
, times ia loss Law aud more observance. As
thoir own affairs, every Citizen knows enoue
: to take care Of himself. but when 1t comeB
J public mattors it sooms that every QUO must d
everything. Judging Of the average Salue {
, Boards, NO Ind better resort to slqbR, or what
far preferable, unload thu cargo, and sta1
/ again with only necessary ballast. There ca
bo no efTeotivo reform while SO many taps a,
draining the public substance.-a Paul (Afi"n
