Tho Democracy Have No Pi =. Of Reform
Their Schemes Are 70 Remain in
Power. Nothing Else.
1t is all nonsense about the Democratic
party having policy or plan Of revenue re-
form. Whenever we see the Democratic
party protesting any reform whatever we
may be sure they are engaged in the cult
walton of fraud
The Democratic party are not in possession
of any principles. That party are in pos
session of the House of Representatives
ano INC Presidency by fraud, and hope to
hold on by the continuation of fraudulency,
and they have no purposes with respect to
the use of the Government beyond doing it
for their own emolunent.
The meanest fraud in the history of the
Government, next to cheating and bullying,
swindling and numbering the black men of
the South out of the right Of suffrage after
their enumeration for all purposes of ap-
portionment, is the Civil-Service reform
which Curtis, Schurz, Beecher, Lowell and
the rest OF the lunar politicians thought
Cleveland was devoted to forever and ever.
The amount of Civil-Service reform as
carried on by Cleveland is that Republicans
are removed under charges, and charges
are cooked for all cases, so that one goes
out under an indictment. 1t has become a
systematic assault upon character--a pre-
MUM on scandal and reward for the inveu-
ton of lies.
All OF Cleveland's professions are, says
the Cincinnati, Commercial Gazette, precisely
on par with his preachment against the
acceptance of second term. He meant
nothing by that save to secure little Of
the bogus sentimentalism Of the tender
toed people whose tissues were all soft
touching politics He has gone back on his
civll-service professions, and his preten-
slous that Office holders must not work for
him, and ali the rest, just as upon the sec
ond term doctrine, and is out as Copper
head, greedy and selfish, and hungry and
thirstyi He is the same sort Of Democrat
the rest Of them are, and he got his party
into hole on the tariff through sheer iguo-
rance and vulgar presumption.
What he and his crowd near by revenue
reform Is to attack the tariff system with
every testimony Of amnesty, and no Cir
Gums lance of violence and maIevolcnt
disposition lacking. They talk about mo-
nopolies, and yet il there is any monopoly
anywhere that promises vote It is pro
tected without shadow Of show Of
reason. The tariff needs revision. bat not
by malicious bun iers, who represent the
semi barbarlsm of the country in assaults
upon the higher civilization.

We do not know of any one whose bio
graphical sketch would be more welcome
70 our readers than that of GENERAL
EDWARD Z. JONES, the present Lieuten-
sRt-Governor of the State of New York,
hut known In business way all over the
world as JONES OF BINGHAMPToN.
T.e oddly of the appellation at once
strikes every one, attracting attention
and arousing curiosity. Il was adopted
for advertising purposes, and has accom-
piished its object. "Jones of Binghamp-
ton" has secured both fame and fortune
by liberal advertising. He was born in
Utica, n. Z, June Sd, 1928, brought up in
Massachusetts, his early youth spent Oh a
farm, where he acquired such tastes that
the smell of the soil and the society Of
farmers are still very agreeable TO MIN.
i G finds relaxation from active business
and public life in attendance at farmers
gatherings, fairs, picnics and Oranges,
which he often addresses. This has given
him wider acquaintance, and his 'every-
day manners" have probably secured him
more personal friends than any other
public or private citizen in the state.
He Is one of the early members in New
York, and has been for ten years an officer
in the State Grange. His boyhood pass
ed without distipg gushing events. He
early went into active life, and has always
been known as q hard working, diligeut
business man. When the war of the re-
belion broke out, he was among the
earliest volunteers, and was Colonel som
handing the old Sixth Massachusetts reg
iment, in its famous march through Bal
timore, the first regiment TO arrive at
Washington, and to which was accorded
the credit OF saving the capitol. After
the close of the war ne left Massachusetts
and established the Jones Scale Works
at Binghampton, n. Z, where, by energy
and perseverance,, he has built up large
and prosperous business, and by system
of fair dealing has gained the confidence
and respect Of all who know him. He is
man of the people.
General Jones has put the agricultural
world under very great obligation to
himself for his manner of doing business,
and for the excellence of the goods be
supplies and the prices he charges. He
has been regular and steady patron of
this paper under its new management,
and We can unhesitatingly commend the
General and his scales to the attention
ana patronage OF our people generally

THE HASTE FOR RICHES.
The Evils that the Desire for Speedy Wealth
Bring About

The Forum.
It leads to crooked dealing. In SO ex-
citing chase an advantage is not TO be
missed because of little question OF
right aud wrong. 4 lie here, cheat there,
these are the everyday occurrences by
which to get around the neighbor or the
custom house or the stakeholder. A bride
well placed is stroke of genius. EN-
ployes are trained il. deception, and The
community is morally corrupted. Legis-
latures, whom we trust for our laws, be-
come the paid servants OF the gold
hunters, and justice is polluted in our
courts. The madness that possesses the
man who is chasing after wealth knows
no bounds. His moral code is implicitly
set aside in the sphere of his money
making. Principles that he would count
most important IN theory OF morals are
wholly imperative IN his financial career.
He slaughters widows and orphans with
his fiscal sword, he remorselessIy sends
his rival to pauperism and suicide, he
manufactures false stock and seizes upon
illegal dividends, and he uses the CON
fidence Of the unsuspecting for their ruin.
This system, rapidly growing upon US,
is poisoning the whole public BODY, and
making lying and stealing and fraud
subjects of merriment where they should
be provocatives of Indignation and retri-
button. So possessed is the public mind
of this idea of our modern money, hunters,
that even the perfectly innocent man Of
wealth cannot escape the imputation that
his money was gotten by ways that are
dark. The people nave almost come to
believe that great wealth implies great
rascality. It is a very false Judgment,
and yet the reason for it is in the evident
rascality with which so many have grasp
ed their gold.
The injury done to the family is also
an injury done to tha State, for the fam
lily is the unit of the State. Where the
men OF family are in the wild pursui
of wealth the basis of family affection
and morality cannot exist. That basis is
mutual conference and ultimate c9rfid-
ences. But the gold chase gives no time
for this. The man is q sort of hoarder in
his own house, He fits in and out like a
stranger. His heart is elsewhere. So
wife and children are without their proper
guide and stay. They seek for amuse-
ment in questionable quarters. They
find other centers than their home. The
husband (house bond, if that be the right
origin Of the word is not in his pace, and
the household is disintegrated. Disorders
of every sort enter such a family, and the
increase of wealth only intensifes the
symptoms.
