Tho nInrch of Reform.

One Of the able schemes by which reform
is boosted along its rugged pathway is
worth brief description in the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN aud ought to have at least
half page in the political history OF this
era when "the impartial historian" gets
ready TO tackle the tedious task Of making
up the record Of the FIRST Democratic al
ministratlon after that Of James Buchanan.
The device referred TO consists of vlr-
tually superceding the Republican head OF
a bureau division or branch of the public
service by a Democratic chief clerk, the
Republican still holding his place nom
inally, but the Democratic subordinate
being clothed with all the powers thereunto
pertaining.
There are, we regret to say, Republicans
who will quietly submit to such an indig.
nifty for the emouments OF position. They
lack proper pride, but are not at all dod-
cient in greed. Give them their accustomed
place on the pay roll and they utter no
complaint at the quiet assumption OF their
rightful authority. Indeed, soma Of these
persons appear to enjoy humiliation, and
one can readily imagine them voluntarily ele-
when they detect the approach Of q monac.
| ing boot.
This arrangement having been quietly
consummated, reform has free course to
run and be glori1ed. 1t does run like
| quarter racer, aud 1t does get gloriilcd like
the biggest pumpkin at county fair.
Specialists who have been noted for great
skill and admirable performance Of diff.
cult work for many years are turned out,
and two or three utterly worthless persons
put on to the payroll in place OF each of
them-not put on to do the work OF the
removed employees, for that is simply i'm
possible, as impossible as It would be for
the rudest blacksmith's helper to replace a
matchmaker.
One Removal Of an indispensable en-
| ploye, indispensable by reason OF great
skill IN peculiar line OF work, skill ac-
quired by much study and long experience,
makes hole into which a congressman can
thrust two, and sometimes three, cheap
loafers, for they are glad to go in ON almost
any terms. But what comes of all this as re-
lates tothe public business Utter demorall
zation Of course. And who takes the re-.
sponsibility? Who is going to be kicked
out, by aud by, in disgrace because the af-
fairs of his Office are in confusion? 1t isn't
worth while to write for any one so simple
as not to see that the nominal head is to be
the scape goat-that he is sure TO be
"bounced" as sample Republican ''ras-
cal," as he ought to be, for he is puslllani-
nous sneak to let himself be thus used.
But reform will still be marching on by
the right flank, in close order, and the
Mugwumps will still chant songs OF praise
around the throne-like the beasts whom
John saw in his Isle Of Patmos vision.

The opposition in Pennsylvania profess q
belief that the story Of 1872, when Pattison
was elected, will be repeated this year, but
they have no ground on which to base such
a hope, In that eventful year Of Republican
folly and consequent disaster, a year when
a tidal wave of independence" swept
across the country, the Pennsylvania Re-
publicans split into two hostile factions and
gave victory TO the Democrats. This year
the party is united and will move right on

years, at Chicago in 1884, again In national
convention, the old plank, disguised with
irrelevant and misleading platitudes, was
put forth. A few days ago the Democratic
administration, speaking for the party by
the pen Of the chief financial officer Of the
government, declared for the English sys-
TEN of revenue pure and simple. What
occasion is there for further defnitionp The
free traders are right when they declare
that proteotonists are not Democrats. 1t
is high time for new alignment on prin-

Of the fall campaigns, and Of 1873.

WHY wM. E. SMITH WENT OUT.
The Assistant Secretary Not in Line
With the Administration.


New York Express.
A prominent politician from Washington,
in conversation at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
to-day with Mail and Express reporter,
said he was not surprised at the resignation
Of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Will
lam Il. Smith. He worked hard for the
election of the President, was strong adj
vocate Of pure Democratic methods In
everything, and received little reward for
hts faithful services. His party showed
him almost black ingratitude when they put
Jones on the ticket for lieutenant governor
instead Of him. Smith deserved the place
and had strong following. lie would
have helped Hill by several thousand votes.
The party knew they had been ungrateful,
and so be was appointed assistant secretary
of the treasury. 1t was poor recompense
The salary is small, and with u man as
genial and popular as Smith, would not
near pay his expenses.
Manning wanted Smith near him; he
knew him and trusted him. They had
worked together in many hard fought state
elections and had come TO recognize each
others ability. AS soon as Smith went into
Office at Washington his straightforward,
simon.pure Democratic ways made him
popular and pleased Manning. He always
received everybody who called, had u
pleasant word, and listened to their tale.
He promised TO do what he could, or said
at once the case was hopeless. Gradually
the great olllce-seeklng army came to rec
ognize In the genial New York lawyer a
square cut, straightforward man, and re.
lied upon his decisions. He resigned be.
cause Manning is going out, and he has no
special love for Congressman w. l.. Scott,
who will in all probability fill the retiring
Secretary's place.
