4 HUMOROUS EFT COSTLY CONCfIT
A single and apparently incidental remark
made hy Postmaster General Villas IN his report
20 Congress deserves especial scrutiny ana
consideration. He made it under the evident
impression that he was saying something rather
bright, and if the people shall be found to differ
with him. IS we most warmly do. they will
simply be cspousing the Republican theory of \
great governmental idea, as distinguished from
the Democratic theory. For in making this
remark Mr Villas reflects the timc-stained
notion of his party. 1t is this Much has
"bcen said about employing the postal appro-
"priaton to aid American commerce. When
"COnglcss shall desire to invest the Post
coffee Department with care for that oh. Get,
cit cannot be doubted it will easily choose
Language which will plainly convey the pur-
pose and impose the duty. Until then, that
Department cannot rightfully employ the
"moneys appropriated for the postal service to
secure objects not mtrus;ed to its care
Now right there in nutshell is great aud
essential difference between the party in power
to-day and the party OF opposition. Rcpub-
Leans maintain that Il Government exists not
solely for the purpose of raising and paying out
the money necessary for the peace and good
order of society not merely that civilized people
may live together and communicate with each
other without fear Of murder, mpiuc, burglary
or other forms Of private injustice and dis
order. The Government in other words is not
merely collection of bookkcopcrs and police
officers. That is the Idea of Mr.. Villas and Of
Democratic statesmen generally.
But the Republican principle is broad,
National and progressive. II accrcdits the
Government with the high obligation Of con-
irving policies and executing measures that
have in view a. their prime and a,l-importhnt
object the prosperous conduct of every citizens
personal affairs. 1t recognizes the fact that
National stability and influence are secured
only 10y making commercial intercourse easy
and profitable. It appreciate, the relation that
exists between every citizens financial welfare
and the general well being of society, and
wholly unlike Mr.. Villas, it insist, tia: every
department OF Government has these objects
entrusted to its care" 10y virtue Of its very
existence.
Well, we shall have four years of the Villas
sort Of craftsmanship. and then We shall have
an accounting before the people. 1t will be- seen
how much they care for Government which
thinks it can afford to make jocoSe remarks
about and hold in light esteem, the CONNER
cial prosperity Of the country.

noy,T TFT HIN Sneak OFF

Land Commissioner Sparks assured the coun-
try last summer in a startling and sensational
way that the Maxwell grant in New-Mexico
was gigantic fraud and swindle.
After this proclamation, strange silence
ensued, and Mr. Sparks is under suspicion OF
desiring to back down from his sef-assumed
position of public accuser. We trust that
neither the Senate nor the House will permit
Mr.. Sparks to hide or to sneak Oft.
Since the question has been raised, the public
may as well know why Mr.. Carl Schurz, as Sec
rotary of the Interior, ordered the patent to be
issued for theMaxwell grant, after two Repub-
lican predecessors, Mr.. Cox and Mr.. Dclano'
had refused TO issue it. The public very decid-
edly ought to know whether Thomas f..
Bayard, when Senator from Delaware and
member of the Private Land Claims Com
mittee Id his legal opinion for $4,000 to the
effect that the Maxwell grant was regular ana
legitimate. Did or did not 1lr. Bayard sell his
opinion to Interested parties on case pending
before his committee and the decision of whose
legality depended in part on his own vote 7
