Some of the Republican journals,
says the Philadelphia Record, are in
an agony of apprehension over the
prospect that the Committee of One
Hundred will turn its attention to
State politics. Their apprehension is
well founded. The Committee of One
Hundred has no choice in the matter.
The work il has already done has the
disadvantage of having been prose-
cuted at the mouth of the stream of
public corruption. Unless it can reach
che fountain head its task is like the
task Of Sisyphus. Ever since the year
1878 the crying want of the people of
Pennsylvania has been for an honest
and capable Legislature. The Re
form that the people themselves began
in that year in the changes made in
the fundamental law must be followed
up. The Legislature must be purified.
A heavy share Of the work of purifica-
tion falls to the people Of Philadelphia.
If the Committee of One Hundred
fails to render what assistance Il may
in this behalf It may as well dissolve
its organization and 90 out of business.
