yUr GREAT U0RK or REFORM

The Apostles of Political Reform in the
State of New-YOri have devoted themselves,
according to tie recent letter of our venera-
bic Govoynor, to the correction of loose and
d" corrupt practices ia the Administration" and
especially the prostituting OF public trusts to
private and partisan advantage. Nothing
could be more beautiful than the digniied
language in which Mr.. Robinson assais the
abuses of the time, and commends to the adj
mration of mankind his own efforts for the puri
fcation of Government. From serene height
where the clamOrs of faction are never heard,
the good man seems to look down upon the
intligues. the petty ambitions, the quarrels,
and the trckeries of the wicked, and to utter
maxims of public virtue for the encourage
ment and instruction of well-meanIng voters.
The very companions of Tweed are moved to
applaud and the Canal Ring resolves with
enthusiasm to make Mr.. Robinson Governor
again. If magistrates were to be judged by
their Official letters and messages, our present
Chief Executive would ~ doubt take rank in
the fore front of the rulers of the State.
But when we come to compare Mr.. Robin
sons professions with his practices We are
sOrely bothered. One of the abuses of the
corrupt period which he recalls to our minds
WAS the prostitution Of the Police Board to
the schemes of n political faction. This evil
custom destroyed the efficiency of the force.
encouraged crime, disturbed the security of
life and property, and filed the city with
nmsances To the supremacy Of partisan infu-
euces in the Police Commission we could trace
directly three-fCurths of the disorders in NUM-
cipal administration, foul streets, pestiierOus
odors. laws defed, thieves uncaught murders
UNPUBLISHED. But the worst form of the general
decentralization was the employment of the
police to interfere with the operations of the
suffrage. corrupt administration could
almost insure its continuance IN Office so long
AS it kept control of the Police Board, and the
Commissioners were taught To believe that the
first Of their duties was to arrange for an
adroit manipulation and counting of votes in
the interest of the faction to whom they owed
their places. Yet Governor Robinson has sig
nalzed the last year OF his term by the most
glaring repetition of this notorious abuse. Not
since the time of the Tweed Ring has there
been such an open prostitution of the Police
Board to partisan interests as he has lent him
self to in the recent plot for putting the vast
power of the Department into the hands of
the agents of Mr. Iilden-a plot carried on in
fragrant contempt of the simplest requirements
of official decorum, and with hardly a pre-
tence of respect Tor justice.
The latest development in /" the great work
"of reform Is still more startling. For the
first time since the overthrow of the Ring

Tn the present desperate strait OF the
English agricultural population the leading
statesmen have all come nobly TO the front
70 helm them-with advice. They have neither
lifted n pennv of the load of rent, nor con-
tributed that much to help them to cInigrate'
but they talk necessarily at them with most
amazing incOnscQuencc and ioosencSS oil logic
Almost every prominent member OF faIlf'-
mcut has taken adv Vantage OF some meeuhg OF
thc malcontent farmers TO fling his own
particular theory at their heads. Lord Derby
bluutly Told them in effect to lose 10 time III
leaving the country which could no longer
Weld them a living; Mr.. Cross, the Home
Secretary. airily counselled them 10 use
- their wits, and the sunshine would return.
An English ploushman's wits and an English
climate are hardly the materials out OF which
to evolve sweetness and light.
But the most fantastic consolation yet OF
fered to the dcspairng farmers was that
OF Lord Bcaconsfeld last Thursdly in Ayles-
bury. when he described the American wheat
growers in the West in Il frenzy OF alarm at
the successful competition or Canada, and as
sured his hearers That nearly all the great
landholdcrs of our Western States hnd gone
to the territory Of the Iiudson's Buy Company.
His Lordship begged them to possess their
souls and empty pockets in patience, dociar-
inc ne had it from the highest authority that
Canada would soon outstiip this country in
connection in the markets Of Europe. The
authority must DO the same as that which
supplied him with materials Tor "Lothair." It
is cheering to see that the Imagination OF the
venerable Premier is as vivid as ever;
his picture of the "im.u>ive humanity
Of the United States" pouring into Canada
bv the millions, is finer III its way than
the sketches of plinccly young Britons pos
sessed. of every virtue and Of "pnll waist
"coats which threw Toscatc, modest hue upon
''thcir cheeks with which We were once all so
familiar. The turner's at Ay.eshury are per-
suadod that the region Of the Hudson's Bay
Compauy Is an Eldorado. How were they TO

urged them 10 HE thithcr along with the mil
liens Of Western landholdersf Happy the

An odd contrast TO this speech Of Lord Bca-
cousheld was that delivered 10y Mr.. Glad
stone at IIawarden lately. in which hc urged
mon the poorer classes the cultivation OF
vegetables, nuts and flowers in gardens, giving
statistics and minute details 70 show how
profitable such business may be made. Mr.
Gladstonc's keen observation and wholesome
good sense were never more strongly con-
trastcd with the very different qualities pos
sesscd by his successor.

The war with Chill continues TO weigh
heavily on Peru. Her treasury Is empty, her
army unpaid, and her Legislature lncompe-
tent TO deal with the emergency. Her ILL
fortune has even extended to the torpedoes,
from which so much was expected. one or
these machines was sent by the Huascar against

around. and was fast approaching the Haas
ear. when an officer jumped overheard ana

from sheer exhaustion and incapacity Peru
NAV soon have to abandon the conflict.
The chairman of the Ohio Democratic State
Committee is in this neighborhOod, with de-
signs. no doubt, on the little pile OF money

Mckinney knows that General Ewing
is to be elected, and knows just how
many Greenback votes lie is TO get. Mr..
Mckinney admits, however. that he does
not know whom the Ohio Democracy
will support for Senator or for President ms
is surprising. It's the first case on record
where the chairman of an Ohio Democratic
State Committee gave us reason TO suspect
that he was not omniscicnt.
