REPUBLICAN SINNERS EEPENTANr.
During the heat of the Presidential cam
paign Republican officeholders were loud in
their professions of readiness to resign
should the Democratic party come into
power. No designations, with the exception
of few, have been received in any of the
departments. They cling to offics with won-
derful teDacity-not so much, perhaps. for
love OF the pay as to test the Presidents love
Tor Republicans, and for efice. holding for
life. Those who would leave the country
In case of q Democratic administration have

regularity, bat hungry and unprincipled
politicians and official bsrnacles break for
the winning side with irregular step and
precipitation. Self is predominant these
days. Human nature in its poverty makes
n sorry picture, and politics without prin-
ciple is held up to the execrat;on of good
men. RepentiDg of political sins is very
commendable, bat while the glaring guilt
is forgiven it must be remembered that there
remains stain to caution against too much
confidence. 1t will not do to put deserter

tuIred out to be spies and Greeks bearing

THE APING ARIsTocRATs
of Washington will be given a mild rebuke
by the simplicity of Mr.. Cleveland's life and
uy his thorough American notions and
practices. The aping OF foreign court lite
and the day dreams of the young ladies to
be allied to titled nobility may be cured by
his influence and particularly by his frugal
habits and quiet living. Washington is the
seat OF imported folly and fashion. Scandal
accompanies the imports. and the people
living here and following in the wake OF a
few snobs are made the subject of loud, long
laughter. Political adventures have sveled

plant tools OF the shoddyites, and today
they stand in tear and trembling lest they
lose their positions at the same time that
they are taught an etiquette becoming TO
free people. NJ. w. CARR.
