Matthew s. QuAY was the boss Field
Marshal IN 1878 and the boss victory of
that year was entirely owing to the sue.
cess with which he manipulated the
Greenhack vote in the boss interest.
His methods have Just been exposed by
the Pittsburg Iod. They consisted in
the employment of discharged strikers
for cash equivalent or the promise ot
an Office to go into every neigh borhood
where the labor element was especially
strong and organize branches Of the
knights OF Labor. who were pledged by
an oath TO support the Greenback tick.

Hon. B. F. Meyers, of the Harrisburg
Patriot, in a speech delivered at Moon.
nellsburg, Fulton county, struck dis.
tinct State issue, which Gen. Beaver
may study with profit when he makes
up his mind to discuss issues having
direct bearing in the present canvass.
Mr. Meyers declared that "during the
twenty one years Of republican control
of the State government the revenues
were sufficient to have paid off the en-.
tire principal Of the state debt with a
surplus OF $9.0OO,OOO. To prove this as
sertion Mr.. Meyers presents the figures
as contained in the auditor generals
office, and to make the case the strong.
er allows amply for the increase in
school, judiciary and other expenses in
cidental to the increased and improved
service in those branches, as we'll as
other changes caused by the adoption
of the new constitution. General Bea.
yer would do well to overhaul these
figures as complied from the records by
Mr.. Meyers and give them his attention.
Such diversion would probably prove
less exhilarating than trotting around
the race track, but the loss in that par.
ticular would find compensation in the
mental discipline which it would insure.

Running the Public Business.

a statement before us concerning the
Governmental Departments at Wash.
ington in 1877 shows that those Depart.
ments then numbered twenty one. In
these twenty one offices there were en-.
ployed on salaries PSI persons Of these
2O2 were clerks and twenty.three mes
sengers. Forty five OF these clerks and
messengers were foreigners by birth
twenty one Irish, twelve Englishmen,
four Scotchmen, three Swedes. two
Germans, one Russian, one foreigner
from Tortola and one from Bermuda.
The salaries paid this force of officers
and clerks amounted in the aggregate
to 1851, ,sS7 year.
This statement is interesting when
brought in comparison with the present
Governmental clerical force alone at
Washington, which numbers in the az.
gregate between 1900 and 1900 per.
sons, whose salaries aggregate twelve or
fifteen millions. This at Washington,
and not including the great official list.
In 1917 the receipts Of the Govern ment
were $i5, 100000. and the net ordinary
expenses about Sl6.j0O0O0. Now the
receipts are about 800 600 600 aud the
expenditures about $500, 10000, but the
difference in the amount of the Govern.
mental business does not at all justify
the force now employed at Washington.
The business OF the Government at
Washington could be thoroughly tran.
sacted by $500 persons; yet to-day IN
the Interior Department alone there
are employed about 1000 persons on the
clerical force. A very large percentage
OF these Federal employees are. Of course,
in position on political grounds.
The patronage is the great source Of
strength OF the Republican party, whose
moral strength long ago evaporated.
The multiplication Of the Departmental
clerical force at the National capital is
burden on the tax payers. for whose
existence no valid reason can be given.
If, sixty.fve years sgo, the business OF
the Government could be satisfactorily
performed by 257 persons in the De-
pArtments, ten times that number OF IN.
dustrious persons, who would work ~
persons in commercial business work
could accomplish all the Federal busi.
ness at the Capital. The Federal busi.
ness must be conducted on legitimate
business principles, both at Washington
and elsewhere. To accomplish this i.
the object OF civilseryice reform. fthe
Democratic party should obtain control
of tha Government the country will ex
pect 1t to do the public business on
business principles. Whatever may be
said about Democratic corruption ia
ante bullum times, the public business
was generally conducted on solid bust
ness principles. To-day We learn from
the lips Of Republican leader, and q
former Cabinet officer. concerning the
Republican party; ''Its frat principle
is the spoils system It's next principle
is The boss system" Under such prin
ciples We can look for nothing bal
bureaucratic Capitalization.
