Gov. Robinson says: We must
beware of the fallacy that govern.
mental burdens rest only on the
rich. They are most grievous to
the poor and labor ing classes. The
cost of careless or corrupt public
officers falls, in the end, upon those
who work from day to day to pay
the rent and buy the food. The
dollar added to taxation comes at
last out Of them. The dollar saved
to the State is a dollar added to
their little store. The continuance
Of the reform policy is thus the only
important question to be answered

1t is as craven as it is dishonest

It is as craven as it is dishonest
for a politician to suppress or disa-
VOW his own convictions of what is
right in Difference to a mistaken
public opinion. When he goes still
further than this, and conforms his
action to a standard which he knows
is wrong, merely because he thinks
it popular, and, instead of manfully
resisting and striving to correct
false views, contents himself to float
with the current, he becomes a
traitor to his trust and, in a high
degree, a public enemy. The man
who, by virtue Of some important
post to which he had arisen, or
through the recognition by his fell
lows of superior abilities. occupies
q position Of leadership, is thereby
charged with high responsibility,
and he is grossly derelect to duty if
he fails to act in accordance with
the best lights he can obtain. A
statesman who is at all worthy of
the name should never inquire
whether a proposed policy will take
with the masses, but whether it is
wise and just. 1t is his duty to
seek the public welfare rather than
the public applause. Even SO far
as regards his personal advance
ment, such. a course-like the hon.
estand Straightforward course almost
invariably, if not always-will ulti-
mately receive the reward of popu-
lar appreciation.
The admitted degeneracy of the
present breed Of public men consists
not SO much in an inferiority of
ability or attainment as in a con.
spicuous lack of the sturdy virtue
which dares under all circumstances
and against all pressure to do right.
There is too much temporizing and
trimming. The age is wanting in
loyalty to truth. Considerations of
momentary expediency have dis.
placed, to a great extent, the re-
quirements Of that true sagacity
which looks beyond the misconcep-
tons of the hour. Political courage
seems to be q lost art. The highest
wisdom is heroic, and its heroism is
expressed in a fearless discharge of
duty. 1t makes no timid calcula.
ton of the consequences, for it looks
beyond the clamor Of the multitude
to the approving verdict of the
future.

Those who argue in defence of the

Those who argue in defence of the
Grant boom so persistently urged
on by every Objectionable element
opposed to the Democratic party,
that greater experience would guar
antee the General against the repe.
tition of the mistakes of the past,
have short memories. Grants &C.
cond administration was more cor
rupt than his first. He became
more and more the victim of corrupt
personal flatterers and toadies as
his civil career progressed, and
there was no period in the history
of his years of government when
Grantism was more obnoxious to
the genuine political manhood of
the nation than the closing period.
This did not arise from personal
corruption on his own part, unless
we mistake the man, but from other
weaknesses peculiar to himself. He
began BY mistrusting politicians in
general, and evinced neither the
power to Judge Of the character and
fitness of public servants, nor the
disposition to reward men according
to their ability and experience in
public affairs. His ideas of govern.
ment was personal, and he rewarded
those who flattered and fawned upon
him under the idea that they were
his trusted friends. And as flattery
and fawning are not the elements
of noble manhood, it came to pass
that in most instances corrupt and
designing knaves were preferred to
the pure and noble Of his party. No
amount of argument could illustrate
his unfitness for the position of Pres.
ident of the United States 40 forci.
bly, as the history of his administra.
ton, and the people who hold the
good and honor of their country
above all other considerations,
should remember the events of that
history, and not allow the schemes
Of the Logans, Conklings, and Cam.
erons to beguile them into the false
idea that Grant in 1881 would be
an improvement upon Grant in
1876; for Grant in 1870 was any.
thing but an improvement on Grant
in 1869. His caprice occasionally
hit upon honorable and hightoned
men, but they did not remain with
him long. There was, and could be,
nothing in common between them.
