A CLEAR PATH FOR REFORM.

There is q good deal of quiet discussion
recent election. 1t Is q profitable line of in
quiry, not because II is specially desirable TO
know the exact amount of money that was
spent, but because It brings into notice an
evil that must inevitably soon receive serious
legislative attention.
We have the pious Mail and Express calmly
discussing methods Of placing large sums
whore they will do the most good, as if there
we're no question Of morality involved in the
matter. Circumstantial accounts of the use
of enormou sums of money in Indiana and
In this State were published in the SUNDAY,
WORLD. And so in various quarters are indi-
cations that the fact Of the great expenditure
is pretty effectually present in the public
mind.
This Is a good foundation upon which to
build a reform. There are also cheering signs
that q vast majority Of the people want this
phase of political business ended. Where
large sums of money are given and spent, and
it is confessed that the methods Of using ii
do not permit of IN accounting being rem
dered, it is useless to suppose that an honest
application is made of 1t. Let us stop this
iniquity before it goes further. Let the State
bear the necessary general expenses and let
there be q statute of limit and q public
accounting for other and partisan expenses.
There never was n clearer path for reform.

borough state idea. 1t was brought into the Union
for q partisan purpose and with insufficient popu-
lation. Its present mission is 10 provide seats In
the United States Senate for San Francisco milion-
aires OF the bonanza type, and assure the Republi-
can majority in the Senate. In 1880 Nevada cast
. total Of about IS, QUO votes. In 1894 the vote fell to
IL, I'll At the recent election II was somewhere in
the neighborhood OF 10. 900, thus showing q steady
diminution In population. There Is little hope or
O change for the better In O State whose resources
are exhausted. 1t probably never will be able to
sustain o population OF over 81, 900 or 90, 900.

HIM a free pass to the Treasury vaults. 1t would
be much better than paying out the surplus in

to several Confederate cemeteries which he con-
alructed with his own hand; but, somehow, the
Republican party, though in pow er SO many years
after the war, entirely forgot 10 reward the modest

Winter asserted itself yesterday with & force
which was really startling. The evening de-
veloped al incipient blizzard. Telegraph
wires were broken throughout the Fest and a
fleet of canal-boats was capsized in New York
Harbor near the Robbins Reef Light. These
boats were mostly loaded with grain. They
all carried women and children. and the fact
that not a soul was lost reflects great credit
upon those in charge.

The Legitimists probably regard the unset
tied state of affairs in France with much
satisfaction. They could scarcely be better
suited if they had planned the existing gov
ernmental Generalization themselves. Prob
ably they are more or less responsible for It.
They want to show that nom but themselves
can govern the country. Premier FLooUET
appears to be unable to do anything. He
tries an extreme plan Of revision Of the Con-
stitution, thinking the tide to be turning that
way, and TO head of BouLANaER, but it will
not work. He proposes an income tax as
one of the least Objectionable ways of raising
an imperatiyely needed revenue, but is
stopped by m cutlery against II. Then coms
charges Of corruption some of which will
stick. The Floquet Ministry evidently must
resign. And who will form a new one ?
There is considerable talk of a Boulanger
coup d'etat, which is u good reason for not
believing that 1t is TO take place-at least now.

Gulliyer Rediyiyus.

When Lemuel Gulliver, mariner of great
fame and strange adventures, was cast upon
the shores of Lilliput, he was captured by
multitude of very diminutive people their
grown men being only the size OF his mid
die finger. These folks, however, kept up
with great pomp and much ceremony all the
regular proceedings OF an organized commu-
nifty and government, and adhered with much
strictness to the forms of their political in
situations, When James G. Blaine arrived
home at New York from his junketing abroad
In England and Scotland he must have felt
something like CULVER at beholding him
self among pigmies, and at being treated in
comparison with Harrison and Morton and
all other Republican leaders and members of
his party, as he were a perfect colossus Of
sagacity and intellect. Indeed il seems a
strange sight to the American people that the
party which was wont to boast of monopo-
ly ofall political intelligence should volun-
t6rly its members to the size of Lilli-
putians in the presence of the man who was
their defeated candidate at the last election
for the Presidency. Evidently Mr.. Blaine
has not grown to any larger proportions !;
the only solution is that his party has dwind.
led. 1t may, as did the inhabitants ofLili-
put, adhere with great pomp and strictness
to party forms and usages, but in the Blaine
reception it has terribly reduced itself in the
eyes at all intelligent voters, by the fact that
it has openly proclaimed that Harrison and
Morton are Insignificant men in comparison
with the landed hero.
