in the army has taught them to look

THE NEXT SESSION.

The next session of Congress being
what is called the long session, says
the Washington Post, ample time will
be had for the doing of all ncedful
work with sufficient care. There will
be no Republican Senate to contend
tor oxtravagant appropriations. The
Democracy will bo held responsible Tor
the amounts appropriated, although
Republican officials collect and disburse
the revenues. There is undoubtedly
room for good deal of saving without
impairing the efficiency Of any branch
of the service. While the heads OF de-
partmcnts are preparing their esti.
mates, II will be well for them to bear
in mind that they will be subjected to
the most rigid scrutiny, and that, when
cut down by the House, they will not
be built up again in the Senate. In
most of the departments there are
numerous sinecures that ought to
bo abolished. In all the depart.
ments there are abuses that de-
mand reform. As we have heretofore
stated, one of the most prolific sources
Of corruption and public robbery is the
custom of buying goods from profess
sional contractors instead of dealing
with manufacturers, importers and reg
ular dealers.
II is not a difficult thing for n ring
Department official to so thoroughly
disgust reputable manufacturers and
jobbers that they will be glad to keep
alooc When legitimate dealer has
his wares, although furnished accord.
ing to contract, thrown back on his
hands on frivolous pretexts, he becomes
discouraged. When this has been done
two or three times he retires from the
neld ulsgusted. Ills next step Is To
sell an inferior article, for the same
price, to a contractor, who re sells to
the Government, dividing a margin
between the official ring and himself
\ This is the old, old story of robbery
that is being repeated every month
This is why so many men grow rich
on salaries barely sufficient to support
themselves and families We conf
IDENTIFY assert that this system-for il
has been reduced to regular system,
lis made to cost the Government
millions every year, and that this mon

went out that majority had disappear

ocratic majority Of 81. This immense
Democratic gain was largely due to

ty. Missouri and kentucky have done
the most lusty screaming for another
term Of Grant. There isl deep seated
conviction that no man, however pop.
ular, can be elected for the third time
to the Presidential office 1t is the
opinion of many of the most intelligent
men of both parties that il Grants

BILE for purity as it was for corruption,
if he had been the wiscst and best man
who had even filled that exalted sta
tion, instead Of giving the country the
most dishonest and degrading Admin.

still be doomed to defeat in an attempt
to violate precedent that is regarded
as little less lhan sacred. AS the
third-term organs continue to violate
decency and propriety by claiming the
nonpartisan welcome extended TO the
General in California as a phase of
'the BOOM" we are fairly called upon
to treat him, not perhaps as candi.
