Higgins and Reform.

According to Higgins. the brigh, particular
star OF Reform whom President Cleveland
has selected TO look after appointments. it
was offensive pariisanship" for Clerks en-
pioyed at Washington to 30 home to vote.
But when Mr.. Higgins leaves his clerkship
temporarily and runs up 10 Maryland to do
little more of that corrup, work for the
Democratic party by which he gained his
exalted position as an official end reformer.
it will he understood. of course, that he is
not an offensive partisan, but sincere and
jealous patriot.
l, is gratifying to see that this disgusting
cant continues to prevail among the men
who represent the Democratic party a,
Washington. Nothing else can so COM
pletely convince the people of the deep seat
ed and ineradcable dishonesty of the party.
Its bad conduct, after ell, does not go so far
to prove its absolute gnworlhiness as its
everlasting hypocrisy, and lis thin preience
of 'iTtuous purposes, pretence to which It's
acts continually give the lie. If the Demo
Gratis had gone boldly and bluntly 10 work
to take everything they could get. without
any pretence of regard for law or deoeucy,
il is almost certain that the party would lie
stronger. and it would certainty be less
heartily despised, than it is now 1t is pos
siblc to attribute some manly qualities to a
burglar OF a highwayman. But nobody can
admire sneak thief.
The shabby and shallow pretence Of re-
form has lh, disadvantage. moreover
makes Democratic workers very wrathy,
while it disgusts ever, body else. Mr..
Cleveland does not gain anything whatever.
By pretending To want reform, while he IN
suits ever, honest reformty by keeping IN

does lose much Of the confidence OF Demo
cratic WORKERS, vino begin to think that he
has not sense enough 10 90 IN when II rains.
