Reform With a Vengeance.

Our neighbors, the Baltimore county
"Reformers," have made sad work Of it in
fulfilling their pledges to reform alleged
Democratic abuses in that county. See
article on Baltimore County Finances"
published in another part Of this paper,
The increased expenditure of the Reform
ers for 1877 over that Of the Democrats
for the Previous year, amounts to s11G,-
993. The account for printing alone,
under the Reform regime, for one year
and nine months, amounts to the enormous
sum Of over $4,000. What the Demo-
Gratis expended, for similar period, we
are not advised; it cannot approach, how
ever, the printing expenses of the reform
erS The printing for Carroll county, for
the current year, amounts to but $500.
The contrast sets the extravagant expen-
diture Of the economic Iteformers in a
sufficiently clear light, without pursuing
the subject further Turn to the article
in question, and read it carefully, and ask
yourselves what Baltimore county has
gained by her Reform movement

We have already announced the nomi.
nation Of Hon. Thomas j. Heating for
Comptroller Of the Treasury
Mr.. Heating is resident of Centre
vile, Queen Anno's county, aud is forty
eight years of age. He is native Of
Smyrna, Delaware, graduate of Prince
ton College, N. j., in 1s4s, and was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1851. He was
States Attorney Of his county for fifteen
years, aud for time edited the Centreville
States Rights until the Office was burned
down. In 1874 he was before the Demo.
cratic convention in his district for Con-
gress, but was defeated for the nomination
by small majority by Hon. P +. Thomas
In 1867 he was a delegate to the State
Constitutional Convention, and there served
with considerable ability. Heis a married
man, with large family, his wife having
been Miss Webster, Of Hartford county, a
sister of Hon, L. II. Webster, former
collector of customs at Baltimore. &c

mated Governor Carroll in 1875. This
nomination will meet with general appro'
val, and insure competent aud honest
incumbent Of the Treasury Office for the
next two years.
The Baltimore Gazette says the nOmi
nation of Mr. Heating was one of thu
strongest that possibly could have beer
made. He is a gentleman of recognized
ability, unblemished character and i'm
mense popularity, and he will poll NOR
than the full strength of his party on thu
day of election.

Party politics in the pulpitand theology
in the secular press are about as unseemly
as q jewel Of gold in a swine's suout
Nevertheless it is competent and proper
for the pulpit, on occasion, to inculcate the
principles Of civil government, and for the
press 70 teach the principles Of a sound
morality. More than that it would be well
for the pulp: 70 leave 70 the politicians,
and for the press to trust to the divines.
