The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1875-05-21

Among the interesting papers read al
the session Of the Social Science conven
ton at Detroit, Friday, Prof. G. A. Kent
read paper on political parties; thei,
organization and management, and the
evils thereof Political parties, are, the
Professor says, a necessity of the age,
and are fully developed in free countries.
Through them come reforms; but since
professions Of reforms are easy they will
be made alike by all parties. It is i'm
possible that any party can hold togethe,
on one reform basis for any length ol
slime. Rarely can a man or q newspape,
hold aloof from party and have much in.
fluence. Direct influence in government.
al action is only obtained by parties. A
leader must not step outside his party.
If he does, influence and leadership de-
sert him, and intelligent members
of \ party usually prize it only as q
means Of carrying out their political
ideas. But their number is small. The
professor described the partisan ends
which are sought by adherents of q par.
ty. whether dominant or in the minority.
The ideal after which \ party should
strive is to put it's best and wisest men at
the head, that when in power, it may be
tested under the most favorable circum.
stances. Among the chief defects in the
management Of parties are:
First. The great excess Of party preju
dice, manifested in ultra statements ol
the most intelligent men. For the de-
feet there seems no remedy except grad
ual education to better ways.
Second. The patronage of the govern
ment, which grows out of the desire ol
party managers to make their adherents
jealous. This is the most corrupt and
greatest of all defects. It causes caucuset
to be packed; it makes lobbies; raises
money for corrupting and bribing voters
To provide IN e8ectual remedy is ex
tremely deficient, but remedy might bt
found in rule prescribing that executive
appointments be made for the definite
and somewhat lengthy periods, expiring
at times remote from an executive cleo
ton. and by requiring qualifications, in
Guiding character and experience of off
cials. Salaries should be revised, and
made only large enough to attract suita
ble men.
Third-The growing difficulty of get
ting competent men to become candidates
for Office. One reason for this difficulty
is the small salaries paid some importan
officers. This is hard to remedy. Anoth
er reason is the service that is required
ofa candidate during the canvass, togeth
er with the drain on his purse for pur
poses of influencing votes. This is
thing no high-minded man will submit to
and without it an election is almost i'm
possible. Hence, poor or honest mel
cannot secure Offices, and they remain .
prey Of the rich and unscrupulous. TIL
sacred duty Of good citizens in thes
premises is to take = deeper interest il
politics. Teachers should enforce this
preachers preach it. However distaste
full let every citizen belong to some part
and strive to purify it by attending tn
primaries, and by defeating unworth
nominations. Psrfecting it is impossible
but BY such means ~ those suggested
! win b benefited. ~.

DARING PLAN OF ROBBERY.
ROOM EN7 Erred BY MASKED MEN

The Somerset (Pa.) Herald oflast week
Eives the following account of a daring
attempt at robbery: Mr.. j, L. Hartzell,
who occupies room in the Mammoth
Block, awoke from deep dream ofpeace,
and saw, within the moonlight in his
room, the figures of two men, one stand
at the foot of the bed with huge knife
raised high in the air, and the other at
the head of the bed. The last named one
wore q look of savage hatred, and held
his pistol in unpleasant proximity to Mr..
Hartzell's head. The man at the head of
the bed, with a stern command not to
move. placed the cold muzzle of the pis-
tol against Johnny's temple, while with
his other hand he searched for his watch
and other valuables. Johnny dare not
move, fearing that if he made any effort
to awake his companion it would prove
fatal 10 both. The few moments occupied
An searching the room seemed an age to
him, as he lay trembling like an aspen,
his face in its ashy whiteness rivaling the
Nillow on which it rested. Mr.. Charles
Cummins, who was sle ping with Mr..
Hart1ell, awakened about this time, put
. new face on the phase of affairs,
Jumping out of bed, he made dash for
one of the robbers, who lodged him and
dived for the door, followed by his ac-
complice. Down the stairs they ran, ftl-
lowed by Mr.. Cummins, who, seeing
there was no chance of effecting their
capture, slowly returned to bed. In their
hasty flight the robbers dropped the

GRATIFYING DIFFERENCE.

The Auditor of State, in his annual re-
port for the fiscal year ending November
10th, 1874, estimated the disbursements
for general revenue and Asylum purposet
for the fiscal year ending November 18th
1875, at $2.6lS,090.43-that is, the appro
priations would be such as to make these
disbursements necessary The appropri-
ations made at the late session of the
Legislature for these purposes amount to
only So, 0,55639 four hundred md t,ven-
freight thousand, fve hundred and thirty,four
dollars and four cents less than the Auditor
of State estimated they would he. And
the appropriations are enough for these
purposes. Should the late Legislature be
cured for having abstained from from ex-
travagant and proaigate appropriations ?
1T SAT TOO LONG.
1t is occasionally said that the sessions
of the late Legislature were too long. If
they were too long, what is to be said of
the sixtieth Legislature, which preceded
it2 The two sessions of the sixtieth
Legislature numbered two hundred and
forty-five days, while the two sessions of
the sixty-tirst Legislature-the Legisla-
ture that has just closed-numbered only
two hundred and twenty one days. That
