GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE.

Mr. Cleveland, In his letter of accept
ance, glyss great prominence to the mat
ter OF government by the people, In op.
position to government by patronage, IL
attracting great deal OF attention, and
much earnest applause. The Times, Of
New York, says that his views on this
matter "carry weight and Significance
rarely credited TO political ptterances,
because his own conduct has always
been fully In accord with them. And,
In the judgment of that able and inde-
pendent journal. His position on this
subject OF government by the people
makes him the exemplar of the most i'm
portant reform Of the time, and should
win for him the support Of oil who ap'
preciate its Importance"
Even In the terms of Its statement,
everyone can sec that this "mOst impOr-
tant reform of the time" Ia a great deal
more than the words "ciyil service re-
form" have been used TO express, even
by the most advanced aud earnest of the
refOrmera. Government by the people"
is an idea that Mr.. Cleveland puts In
distinct opposition 10 government by
patronage. Government by patronage
may be either by one man personal
gOyernmenD or by ring or combina.
tion of men .(Ollgarchical government)
IL Is always the one or the other. In
either case, the power "behind the
throne" on which the personal ruler or
the ruling cabal depends for the accom-
plishmont Of the government aim and
for the continuance Of the ruling dynas-
ty Is not the free decision Of a peoples
will, but the corTupting or brlbing
power OF patronage used to manipulate.
repross, falslfy, or overcome the pOpu.
lar will.
The government Of the Republican
party has been one Of patronage, not
government by the people. The latter
implies responsibility Of the governing
agents to the popular will, In this
land, tho government Of tho people Is
IN the hands Of representatives Of the
people, and their duty ia clearly to rep
resent, not to mlsrepresent the popular
will, aud obey the Constitution, Ac-
countability, then, Is feature In our
system, as II must be In all representa-
tive governments, DemagOgues may
ilout at honest representation, and CAB.
BILE nOnSensically thereat, but II
is the basic fact In all honest govern.
ment by the people and for the people,
a government of patronage Is one of
corruption and knayery. The "most i'm.
portant reform" then that Is suggested
by Mr.. Cleveland Is more than an extern
sion Of the civil service rules, moro than
strict observance OF the civil service
law, and nothing less than such re-
formation OF our administrative system
as shall abolish government by patron
age and replace II with government by
the people, In other words, a reform
that shall retire the President from the
post of personal ruler and require him
to govern by a ministry whose tenure
shall depend upon the appreciation Of the
people, expressed by their representa-
tlyes.
This is the true method Of government
by the people.

| Through the long, long years that have

by giving her a bumper house. The piece
played was Lena, serio-comic drama IN
five acts, well suited to display Miss Put
MANS wonderful vivacity and sprightly wit,
as well as her capacity to display the finer
emotions of the heart. The impression she
produced last evening was profound, and
unqualified praise was on the lips of every
one who saw her. Lena is a wonderful lit
tie romp, yet full of resolution and tender
feeling. There is a cruel uncle w ints 20
marry her to a man she hates, and who
drives away the man she loves; but such
diabolical plots never succeed on the stage,
and everything comes right in the end for
the vivacious Lena, who in the person of
Miss Putnam went through every change
from grave to gay, in manner which show
ed her great capacity to delineate the most
varied shades of character The applause
which she received was of the most hearty
character, and she was called cut after
every act, and at the close of the play. One
pleasing feature of her performance was
the pretty little songs with which she inter
spersed it, the original song and dance COM
posed by herself, entitled "Cupid's Gar.
land" being especially admired.

Our Trip to Louisville.

"Ihe curtains OF night were pinned back
by stars" when our party, consisting of DR..
Laws, Miss Sophia Thompson and myself,
started. We dashed on by the familiar
scenes aud passed Nashville at the wierd
hour Of midnight. After this we regretted
that the ever shifting picture was hidden
from us. | frankly admit that | was never
out of the State but once before, and | Was
much interested. We stopped q little while
at Gallatin, Franklin, Cave City, Elizabeth
town, and other places ! do not remember.
We regretted much to think we were in
nine miles of the Mammoth Cave, and
could not visit it. After daylight We feast
ed on the various objects of interest. We
went through long tunnel up Mundrose
Hill, which is a branch of the umberland
Mountainy and the chain of hills runs across
the State of Kentucky from the mountains
to the Ohio River, and divides the water
course from the Ohio and the Green and
Cumberland rivers, which we had crossed.
AS we plunged out of the tunnel we ran
out on high trestle, and then my love of
the sublime had full sway; the dim old mills
nestled in the misty morning light, and
down, down, down to the right of us slept
the peaceful valley below. We were run
ming above the level of the tops Of high
trees, and on the left the hill still lowered
high. On, on we sped like a wild bird,
free as air, over miles and miles and miles
of unbroken country, where peace and
plenty reigued.
Reaching Louisville at about a. m, we
drove out to the river and viewed the slug
gish stream, where stately steamers were at
anchor, save one which moved maiestically
off while we stood on shore. We observed
train of cars passing over the bridge
which surpasses anything of the kind | ever
saw, and they really appeared as small as
child's toy. From there we went to Dem
aree's Hotel, and he being a particular
friend of DR.. Laws, most kindly and cour-
teously proposed to show us some of the in
teresting points to be seen there. Mr..
Demsree is temperance lecturer OF great
ability, and is editor of temperance paper.
We went from his place to the Courier
Journal building, where twenty different
papers are published, and went on the ele-
vatOr up many stories, and went out on top
to view the city. From this point we OBJ
tanned q good look at most OF the promi-
nent buildings. Then &c descended to the
lower regions where the sitting atmosphere
is sickening, the roar of machinery deafen-
ing, and pale, tired looking girls were
perched upon high, rough stools printing
thousands OF papers to be sent out to thou
sands OF readers, some OF them thousands
of miles away. l was relieved to emerge
