q DISTINCTION And Il DIFFER
ENCE.

When fear of a coming political storm
Makes men in Office decidedly nervous,
We all are for Civil-service reform,
But not for reform of the civil service.
The difference Republicans easily see,
Though some men deny it, perhaps sincere
ly;
'Twixt tweedledum here, and there tweedle-
dee,
We hold ourselves,it to discriminate clearly.
Reform, as a theory, pleases us all,
Provided we need not reduce 1t to practice;
Our faith is as large as our works are small,
For one thing the word, and another the act
is.
The kind of reform that is keeping US in
May claim from us all a support right hearty;
But that can be only shame and a sin
That Gusts us for men of another party.
Assessment is scarcely problem for us,
So easy it is of proper solution;
We have but to mention our wishes, and thus
We squeeze from each victim his full contri-
button.
Well backed by Chef Arthur's Administers
Is very good sort of reform, it appears,
And deserves an extensive application.
To keep our fat salaries. rings and jobs,
boobies,
The style of reform that is practiced by Hobbs
Is better than that of Congressional noodles
So, while we shall face the political storm
In Just exactly our ancient manner,
We all mean to march in the ranks of reform,
And utter its creed, and carry its banner.
