and interviews will give place to
the sworn testimony and the searching
cross-examination. Men who cheaply
denied things in print will be invited to
answer where false declaration may
lead to Jail. Perhaps the conscience
less journalists who have made bold to
assert that some dispatches "must be
forgeries," may have to testify on what
ground, if any, they are accustomed to
base editorial statements. In short,
the country will probably have fair
opportunity this winter of learning pre-
cisely what reform means in Demo-
cratic mouths, and what leading Dem
ocrats are willing to see REFORM pro-
NOTED by the bribery of officials. The
subject will not be dropped quite so
soon as many Democrats would like to
have it, they may rest assured.-M Y.

The Cipher Dispatches and Congress.

IT has been the hope of Democrats
that the revelations made by translated
cipher dispatches would cease to have
Importance after the election. They
were made in order to affect the cleo
tion,' said Democrats, "and now will
be allowed to die out of memory"
This notion will be found entirely mis-
taken. The facts were not made known
with view to serve the purpose of any
party in any election, nor with an eX-
pectation that very great immediate eff
feet could be produced by their disclos-
ure. They have more permanent
meaning, for they teach, Q) the de-
gree OF honesty and sincerity which
prevails in the Democratic party; (2)
the necessity of holding political par
ties to more rigid responsibility for
the acts of their agents, committees,
leaders and candidates; and (3) the
necessity of immediate changes in the
mode of electing President. Particu-
larly for the latter reason, public opin-
ion ought to be thoroughly aroused. 1t
can no longer be tolerated that one man
may have it in his power to sell out a
nation. Corruption is bad enough at
the best, and dangerous enough. But
it must seem little less than miracle,
to any upright and intelligent citizen,
that the defects of our present machin-
cry of government have not resulted
before this in sale of the Presidency
at auction. The people can be trusted.
But the individuals whom they select
are not always honest or true.
For the present, the immediate ne
cessity is to concentrate public opinion
upon the conduct of the Democratic
party and its agents in 1876. The mat
ter will not die out. Let no one lay
that hattering unction TO his soul. Con-
gress will be compelled either to shield
or formally to expose the criminals.
We shall see how many members are
disposed to hide a truth because it hap
pens to hurt their party. The petit

War on the Ring.

Papers are being extensively cir
culated in various sections of the
city, and yesterday received numer-
Gus signatures, pledging the signers
to become members of the Indepen-
dent Tax Payers Reform Associa-
ton, the object of which is to pre-
vent the election to state and
municipal offices Of men unfit for the
positions. The document sets forth
that under the present management
of primaries by cliques of office
holders there is every reason to be-
lleve that taxes will be increased and
the value Of property deprecated in
consequence that those now holding
offices of great CmOlument will PROC
ably use all efforts to retain them
selves i'll power, unless the citizens,
without distinction Of party, WIN
combine to defeat them and that to
effect this purpose it is necessary
that speedy action be taken to bring
about an organization of citizens to
cooperate to accomplish these objects.
The papers received yesterday the
signatures of large number of Dem
Ocrats, including some who have
heretofore been prominent in the
party. Some of the seekers after
spoils, who intend to make fight
for themselves "Within the party"
are now meditating whether to run
for the nomination in the primaries
or to abandon this plan and run on
an independent ticket at the general
election.
