A Suggestive Picture.

A Washington special says that the
bondsmeu OF Burnside, who stole owe
5000 a year while Disbursing Agent
of the Post-otfice Department, rely up
on escaping from responsibility as sure
ties on the ground that his accounts
were not regularly audited in three
years. 1t is claimed that they can only
be held for one or two quarters, if at
all. The Sixth Auditors office is no.
toriously burdened with scurvy poll
ticiaus of all colors, some of whom
were appointed as rewards for their
services in the great fraud of 1876.
Many of them are utterly incompetent
to perform the work expected of them.
The accounts of the Sixth Auditors
office are, therefore. in great confusion
and in arrears.
Wen, that is a very suggestive pic
ture of the condition of the affairs in
one of the most important offices OF a
department of the Government. Burn
sides bondsmen certainly ought not to
be held responsible. They undertook
to make good any deficiency in the ac-
counts of Burnside, provided the Gov
eminent enforced its regulations with
respect to the examination of accounts.
The Government did not perform its
part OF the contract, owing to the in:
competency of the men it employs.
If the business of the Sixth Auditors
office had been conducted on business
principles Burnside would not have
been able to have stolen anything of
consequence. His accounts, however,
had not been examined for three years.
Gases like these give the public
glinlpses every once in a while of the
way public business is conducted and
the men who conduct it. These
glimpses ought to be sufficient to con-
vince the people that it is full time that
the control of the Government was
placed in other hands. There is great
need of honesty and competency in the
public service, and they can not be had
by retaining the Republican party in
power. Only a day or two ago it was
discovered that a paper contractor was
cheating the Fost-office Department out
OF hundreds of thousands ofdollars by
furnishing raper far below the required
standard. This cheating process had
been going on fora long time. Those
whose business it was to see that the
contract was complied with had wholly
neglected their duty. 1t is certainly
time for the Republican party to CO.

Giving a Hint to Nature.

Again, in "Murphy's Master" / got
rid Of a great number of d~isagreeable
characters on an island in the Indian
Seas by the simple though startling de-
vice of submering the island itself the
few respectable persons who inhabited
it (including the hero and heroine) be-
ing most properly and p~royidentially
saved in a fishing boat. Some critics
thought it audacious; but nature was SO
favorably impressed by my little plan
that she used it herself two years after
ward, and in a more comprehensive way
than I should have dared to invent; an
island in the Bay of Bengal, with the
Kinshra Lighthouse upon it, with seven
scientific assistants, being submerged in
a precisely similar manner 1 do not
wish to be hard upon nature. and, with
out giving details, which could not but
wound her ansour proore, will merely
remark that she committed a similar act
of piracy in the case of my novel,
Found Dead."-James Pdyn in Corn

New York the Republican money kings
button up their pockets. In the West
the clouds of political revolution gather
thick and fast.
Blaine's spirit is broken. Instead of
the knight Of the White Plume he is
now the Knight of the White Feather.
But Blaine must not be allowed to
withdraw. A candidate honeycombed
with official corruption has been pitt
forward by a once great party for the
highest office in the Republic. Such q
disregard OF public deceny must be
rebuked. A verdict of the people
against Blaine will be a verdict against
dishonest Governments 1t will purify
the political atmosphere.
No; Blaine must not withdraw. The
crime of a d~isgraceful and corrupt nom-
ination has been committed. The
guilty parties must be made to endure
the punishment.-M. !. World.

A Vital and Long.Liyed Party.

The Tribune saws ''the Democratic
party has been the National nuisance
and its disruption will render possible
an organization on the basis of sincere
beliefs.n
The Democratic party has lived ever
since organized political divisions were
first known in this country. 1t has out
lived Federalism, Whiggery, and Know
N~othingism. 1t wilIfollow to the grave
their combined product, Republicanism.
= The Democratic party, although out
of power, has been the Nations safety.
The election of Horatio Seymour as
Governor of Ne0 York in 1882 gave a
check to the reckless greed of the war
contractors and to the autocratic spirit
which would have built up a despotism
on the Nations atfiiction. The influence
of Tilden in 1874 and 1876 killed the
third-term movement, which would
have given us practically a Dictatorship
in place of a Republic. The vitality
and strength of the Democracy have
exercised the restraining power of fear
over Republican rascality, which hut
for such a curb would have stolen the
whole United States Treasury as well
as the Presidency.
Ii the Democratic party had not beer
based on ~.'sincere beliefs it would not
have survived nearly a quarter OF a
century of defeat and be in condition
now to meet and vanquish the Repub-
lican party with its army of office
holders and its unlimited command of
money.
The Democratic party may be a
nuisance in the IyibWne's estimation 1t
is a nuisance to dishonest officials, TO
d~emagogues who would mislead the
people, to political tricksters OF all de-
scriptions, to the monopolists and mon
ey kings and the enemies OF the Repub.
lie. But it is a glorious nuisance which
will continue until its object has Deer
accomplished.
Turn the Rascals out!-M. Y. World.
