A CHANGE NEEDED.

Among the most useful lessons taught by
the experience Of early Republics is thM
so prominently enforced by the closing
pages Of Roman and Gsecian history,
namely, long continuance in Office breeds
corruption. 1t IS no less dangerous to free
institutions than destructive of Official puri-
th to suffer any one party to remain long
in control of the Government patronage.
This is universally true, but it is peculiarly
so in a country like ours where Federal ex-
eeutive patronage embraces more than one
hundred thousand civil officers-all drawing
salaries from the public treasury.
The denunciation of the Democratic plat
form on this subject, is wise, timely and ex-
pressive. After declaring the fundamental
principles Of the Democratic party to be the
preservatiye Of personal rights, the equality
of all citizens before the law, the reserved
rights of the States and the Supremacy of
the Federal Government within the limits
Of the Constitution this admirable promul-
CATION Of Democratic belief continues.
"But it is indispensable for the practical
application and enforcement of those funda>
mental principles that the government should
not always be controlled by one political
party. Frequent change of administration
is as necessary as constant recurrence to the
popular will. Otherwise abuses grow, and
the government Instead of being carried on
for the general welfare becomes an instru-
mentality for imposing heavy burdens on
the many who are governed, for the benefit
Of the few who govern. Public servants
thus become arbitrary rulers. This is now
the condition Of the country. Hence
change is demanded. The Republican
party so far as principle is concerned,
IS "reminiscences In practice 1t
is an organization for enriching
those who control its machinery. The
fraud and jobbery which has been brought
about in every department Of the Govern
ment sufficient to have called for reform
within the Republican party. Yet those OF
authority, made reckless by the long posses
sion of power, have succumbed to Its cor
rupting influence, and have placed in nom.
iuatiOn a ticket against which the indie
pendent portion of the party are in open
revolt Therefore a change is demanded
such a change alike necessary in 1876.

A CORRECTION.

Richards the editor of the Telegram,
will refuse to support Fer,lie Robinson, the
nominee for Circuit Clerk, and the latter is
very "hot" and much worried in conse-

his is that Ferdie would not come to time

support candidate unless there is some

In the autumn of 1889 he was seeking
reelection, when Governor Cleveland wrote
the following private personnel letter upon

THE TARIFF.
rwetledum and rwedledee.

In view of the studied effort on the part
of Republican journals and leaders, to con-
vince the working men that the Democratic
party is freetrade party, it must be unpal-
atable to them to recognize in the Demo
cratic platform, enunciations in favor OF so
adjusting the tariff as to protect American
labor and American industry, equally as
strong-if not stronger than those contained
in the Republican platform. The Puerlle
play on words by which the latter seeks to
distinguish between "a tariff for revenue
only" and "a tariff for the requisite revenues
of the government" viii deceive no one.
The misuse made by the Republicans in the
last Presidential campaign of the term for
revenue only has not been without Its
lesson on the Democratic party. In their
platform this yeaR no such ambiguous ex-
preston appears. Let the reader examine
for himself and compare the two platforms
AS to the tariff. Despite the difference Of
verbiage, such as the impurities OF the
tariff Republican, and the abuses Of the
existing tariff (Democratic-the sense
that is to say, the meaning seems about the
same in both If anything, the Democratic
platform is a little stronger against free
trade, as such, than the Republican. But
let the reader Judge for himself--and to that
end we present them side by side. 1t re-
quires no critical acumen to perceive that
both are the results of mutual CONCESSIONS
to meet and reconcile conflicting views.
