No Eurr0andiRgs, however solsrnn
OF Disastrous, effect the crowd when
once the example is set. This is
partly because We are by nature i'm
itative creatures, so that we some
times without the slightest thought
and sometimes even against our will,
do as others do, and partly because
we wish TO be thought advised, as
fully as our examples, of anything
around US which deserves attention.
Nor is this peculiarly confined to
laughter, OF to any other exhibition
of feeling, nor yet entirely TO exhibi-
tions of feeling or emotion, our
judgments and beliefs are SO easily
led astray. Witness the case Of Pro-
fessor Seelye, of Massachusetts,, who
the other day made long speech in
approval of Hayes as Reform Pres
ident. Letting go by for the time
the question whether Hayes is
President at all or not, / would
like to know where, except in his
talk and that of his friends, there is
any evidence of his desiring any re-
reform in the civil service or else
where. he announced himself as q
reformar, as the other man laughed,
and forthwith the party paper and
the party politicians announced that
tho Administration was reform Ad-
ministration. II Il net anything sof
the kind, in fact. There is no re-
form in the transaction Of public tu-
siness, no reform and no improve
ment in the appointments to Office,
no thorough Investigation of what
is known to be infamous in the De-
partments. Professor Seelye, than
whom there is no clearer headed
man in the country, generally, is
simply giving out as facts what ex-
lists only in words, words, words, that
he has read or heard. Many others,
following him, will speak as he has
spoken simply because he has spok-
en-.
And it is not likely that more than
the thin preience of reform will ex-
list under this Administration. The
majority in the Senate
and the formidable minority in the
House are unquestionably a power
at the White House, especially since
the Republican Senators voted so
compactly on questions relating to
the Louisiana Senators. 1t is odd
that Republican harmony in the SEN
ate should be disagrseable 10 q Re
