What is Reform ?

Honest reform may be defined as a
desire for purity and loathing Of cor
ruption. The definition holds equally
good whether applied politically or
socially. Either as regards fallen
man or woman, or a corrupt party in
politics, reform signifies rejection of
wrong and adoption Of right. Reform
knows no servility and bends to no
party. It is independent. In the
same way that the late speeches of
Governor Booth may lose him the
Republican vote and fail to obtain for
him the sympathy Of the Democrats,
50 reform stands alone. 1t commands
respect, il it wins no admirers. 1t in
sists on its own goodness, though it
perish at its birth. The problem to be
solved by the Independent Journalist
of to-day il, whether he can live aloof
from the slough Of corruption, which
has hitherto supported so many pseudo
organs of public opinion. Prudence
and discrimination are the essentials
of a journal that would keep its fame
unsullied; vigor, energy and capabil-
ity must be its characteristics. As it
is with a journal, SO is it with a man,
and men make up parties.

Railroads and Panics.

Very short and terse, but we'll wOr-
thy of study, is the following little
brochure from the pen of a great finan-
cial writer in the east. No COMPARE
son of railroads and real estate jObbery
could he shorter or more to the point:
at is easy to sit here in New York,
beside piles of money earned and
owned by somebody else, ar near bales
of merchandise, the creation of the la
Dor of others-it is easy to sit as some
of our didactic bankers do, and tell of
imitation caused by building railroads.
The transportation system Of the cOun-
try has made New York city what it
is-has converted the upper portion of
this island from sheep-pastures into
building lots priced at near $oOO, ,OOO
per acre, average. This is positive in
fiatiOn. The values moved hither by
railroads enable our rich men to enjoy
their purple and fine liuen, and 1t is not
evidence Ofgood sense that they should
decry that which puts costly mansions
over their heads and makes possible
the luxury of comfortable city life.

THE Express has honored the ap.
pearance of the first issue of the HER
AID by devoting large portion of its
space to the utterance of very kindly
sentiments. Starting on new ca
reer, unknown, unheralded and fight
ing an uphill battle, such words are all
too welcome. The HERALD does not
forget that the words of the article re-
ferred to are carefully weighed and de-
liberately chosen. Sincerity stands
out boldly in every congratulation,
and the welcome, If a guarded one, Is
yet very warm. For the good wishes
extended to them by their respected
contemporary, the editors of the
HERALD return unqualified and
hearty thanks.

Chinese immigration.

The invasion Of California by the
Chinese cannot be lightly regarded
or thrown aside as q trifiing mat
ter. Chinese build railroads, manu-
facture cigars, boots and shoes, have
q monopoly of laundries, and un-
derbid even negroes in all domestic
ayocations. AS race they are OF q
morally low order; impurity and Inn
morality they do not regard as sins,
whilst habits of filthiness and disre-
gard of ventilation as q sanitary law,
are their characteristics.
The money they make here is In
varfably remitted to China; even
their remains are consigned to their
native country, SO that not even their
bones may remain in our midst.
Where they congregate in considera-
ble numbers vice il rampant, and ini-
quity of the worst kind prevails. To
quote single instances Of honest and
faithful Cinnamon is merely to amass
records of freaks of nature, or to emu
merate cases Of the trustworthy CRATE
ful wolves which once nursed Romu-
luz and Remus. Their conversion to
Christianity is a farce, their object in
joining schools purely a selfish one.
Individually they are slaves of wealthy
companies, socially Of the lowest order
Of their race, morally most degraded,
and naturally possessing dishonest
prOclivities. Their industry and
powers of imitation are generally de-
voted to selfish and low ends, their
bepefit TO the country negatived by
he harm they do it. Their presence
ilnpedes immigration and stops the
healthy tide Of white labor from set
ting IN IN word Chinese immigra-
ton is ss fatal to the country as the
leprosy which they promulgste, and
the pests they breed amongst us.

The Election Of District Attorney.

Just after an exciting general cleo
ton, and just before the Judicial cleo
tion, the question naturally comes up,
why the ballots for the Office of Dis
trict Attorney are taken at the general
election, and so separated from the
other officers of the law.
Under the system now in vogue, the
District Attorney is one of several
candidates on general political ticket.
Everybody admits it to be political,
and the fight is not upon men, but
upon issues. The candidate is sunk
in the issues he represents. The
man is the little thing, the platform
on which he stands, is the great thing
As one of the candidates, he is part
ner in the wire-pulling, and often
bribery by which it is too common to
secure the success of a political ticket.
Thus, il personally interested, and per-
sonally implicated, he, if elected, may
make no attempt to punish the crime,
by which his own election, or that of
his party friends was accomplished.
The bribed voter thus escapes scot
free, because the briber is the prose-
cutting attorney.
If the District Attorney was elected
atthe same time the Judicial election
occurred, he would, in u measure, be
free from political trammels. The Ju-
dicial is-rather, ought to be-free
from politics. 1t ought not to be con-
sidered in selecting our Judges, wheth-
er they are good Republicans or good
Democrats, but whether they are
clear-sighted, logical, upright men.
Although this is not the case, to the
extent it ought to be, yet the Judicial
elections are much freer from party
bias than the general, and by SO
much would the District Attorney, if
nominated and elected on the same
ticket, be free from bias. BY somuch
more would the chances be increased,
that he would be untrammeled by
party ties and obligations, and unim-
peded in his work by election compli-
cations.
If a Constitutional Convention is to
be called, and if the Constitution and
Codes are to be amended, would it not
DO we'll to have this matter looked

The Financial Panic.

Present indications are that the
financial storm has done its fury. The
shore is strewn with remnants of shat
tered financial barks. All storms
drive away the noxious vapors and
purify the air. The probability Is that
the law holds good in regard to finan-
cial disturbances, and that soon the
troubled waters will be stilled, and the
financial air clear; that order will rule
out of chaos, and the business of the
country be placed on q firm basis.
The stock bubble has bursted as a
thousand bubbles of similar general
nature have done before. Any attempt
to obtain money, to render paper firm,
when there is no value received back
Of it must of necessity be failure.
Laws, failure, the Mississippi scheme,
the paper expansion preceding the
French RevOlutiOn--all are instances.
The government of the time, and the
laws bolstered them up as best they
could, their machinatOrs concealed
the absence of value received back
of their paper; but all was useless
the bubble burst as it always will
sooner or later.
Money represents value of some
kind. You may make pretended
value; you may call a dollar, mill
lion, but 1t makes not il a million.
Every dollar becomes but millionth
part of q real dollar. You may buy
stocks until they sell for hundred
times their value, but when return in
terest is not commensurate with their
price, they must fall--the bubble must
burst.
But what effect will the panic have
upon currency and gold? A difficult
question. Gold will probably approach
currency In its value. While securities
were falling rapidly, and bankrupts
were being made by the score among
those who held other stocks, currency
and governments kept their position,
varying no more than under the Or
dinary demands Of trade. While other
securities went up and down like
footballs, currency and governments
stood strong, partaking but in a slight
degree Of the general uneasiness. A
currency thus strong in troublesome
times must soon, in quiet season, ap-
proach gold value.
1t is q false argument to point to the
east, and conclude that's gold currency
is the only safe currency. The recent
panic had nothing to do with currency,
except 30 far as to disturb the stocks
upon which currency is based. This
panic was panic of stocks not of cur
rency, differing in this from that OF
1857, which embraced both stocks and
currency. THIS panic would have Oc-
CURED no matter whether the medium
of currency was gold or greenbacks.
