Reform Despite Malign Influences.

Of course the Michigan Republicans,
in their unusually and unnecessarily
long platform, arraign the Democratic
party with the savage ferocity which is
supposed TO be the ear-mark of q first
class Republican. "Dur NO its six
years of supremacy in Congress, SAYS
the Michigan platform, lit showed it
self incapable of single great measure
OF legislative or administrative reform:
neither tariff, currency, revenue. civil
service, army, Indian policy or anv
other great interest received improve
ment at its hands" This implies that
after fifteen years of unbroken and I'M
INSTRUCTED Republican rule, all these de-
partments and bureaus of Government
had fallen into such a deplorably cor
rupt state as to need reformation. The
Michigan Republicans denounce the
Democrats for not correcting abuses.
But what are we to think of the party
that brought about these abuses and
then left them for its opponents to cor
rect.
1t is true that while the Democrats
had control of Congress-it was not six
years, but four-the, did not effect as
much in the reformation of abuses as
could be wished but this is because, while
I. the Democrats had control of Congress.
the Republicans had control of the whole
executive and administrative machinery.
The Presidency, the Cabinet, the revenue
service, the Indian Bureau, the
custom-houses and the 100, 900 Federal
Offices were still in the hands OF
Republicans, and what the Democrats
did had to be done against the stubborn
opposition of these powerful influences
Never heless, they accomplished some
thing that deserves TO he remembered.
Ihey overthrow the fraudulent demon
citation of one half the ancient metal
money OF the country and restored the
silver dollar TO its old and legitimate
position; they stopped the extraya-
gance that had become chronic under
Srant, and cut down the appropriations
%tV'VVO,OVOa year, and they assisted Mr.
Hayes in introducing that feeble
measure OF Civil-service Reform which
has been almost wholly lost under the
present Republican Administration.
All this was effected under formidable
difficulties. The Silver bill had TO be
passed over Presidential veto. and the
reduction in the. appropriations had to
be enforced in the teethof persistent re-
sistance from all the leading Republic
ans in Congress.
What the Democrats accomplished is
not a great deal, but it is something
What the Republicans accomplished in
the same direction. with all the organs
of Government in their hands. was
nothing at alL-St Louis Republican.

1t is generally supposed that the
practice of adulterating articles of food
is of modern origin, but Prof Erdmann
has shown in an article in Nature that
the ancient Greeks and Romans already
were the victims of this practice. Among
the articles commonly adulterated he
mentions flour, grain with oil to make
heayier). honey. spices and especially
wines.
