sisting an easy change of administration,
until misgnvernmcnt becomes intolerable
aud public spirit has been stung to the pitch
of a civic .reyolupon. The first step in re-
form Is the elevation of the standafI by
which disappointing power selects agents
to execute official trusts. Next in impor-
tance is conscientious fidelity in the exercise
of the authority to hold to account and dis
place Enthusiastically or incapable subord-
mates. The public interest in an honest,
skiliul performance of official trust must not
be sacrificed to the personal aggrandizement
of the incumbents ,,o,. .,..t, e-...'..+..,.. .,
After these immediate steps, which will
insure the exhibition of better examples, we
