CURTIS DENoUNCEs CORRUPTION.
Both Parties Hauled Oyer the Conls by the
Reform speaker.

Both Parties Hauled Oyer the Conls by the
Reform speaker.
BOSTON, October lat the annual meeting
Of the National Civil Service Reform League
here General William Curtis said, among other
things: "Under our Government reform can be
accomplished only by party administration.
Yet the chief obstruction is the fact that the
evil is common to both parties. The old Demo-
cratic Plaquemine frauds In Louisiana were
like The old Wing pipe-laying frauds in New
York. The modern Republican soap" and
fat frying" and the money raised for secret
campaign funds of which no account is ever
recorded. belong to the same system of cor
ruption as the modern Democratic mule buy
ings and money barrels, and Tammany GALES Of
judicial nominations.
"lf a man may properly sell his vote for $500
in the guise of public office. or $4,000 in the
form of a job, he may as properly sell It for S.
in cash. When party practically promises a
general sack of the public salary fund in the
event of its success. it appeals to the most
venal motives and invites votes not by faith in
its purpose to advance the public welfare, but
by hope of individual pecuniary gain. Civil
service reform is not yet established for the
same reason that slavery was not destroyed at
once when its enormity was perceived and &C
knowledged. But every sign shows that, like
our brothers of the last generation, we too are
walking toward the light"

covering acres, costing millions, and en-
ploying great number of men. A prac-
tical illustration is here presented of what

RATHER STICKY,

A CERTAIN clubman whose stories are always
4 told in the first person has at last become
a decided bore to his friends. and one Of them
resolved to call him down. Soon the occasion
came. The self-laudatory clubman had told a
story of being held up by highwaymen in
Kansas. He represented it as cold, rainy
night on a muddy road in the country, and
wound up by stating that the robbers escaped.
Here was the chance, and his friend said: If
it was muddy, should think you could have
followed them the next morning. They must
have left plenty of tracks,"
This seemed to be poser that would have
downed any ordinary man. but 1t did not phase
our hero. He rose to the emergency and said:
II thought so too, but when 1 looked the next
morning found that the robbers had left no
tracks. You see, the mud out there is SO sticky
that their tracks stuck fast to their feet, and
they carried them away with them"

IT is interesting to observe that some of
our Republican contemporaries, who were very

shotguns, are now enlarging on the fact that

THE sage remark is made by the Phila-
delphia Record that "The duty on aluminium
proposed in the Mckinley bill is not l5 per
cent, as has been enormously printed, but 10
cents a pound. Should the experiments Of
Professor Hirsch bring down the price of
aluminium to hfteen cents a pound, as he
promises, this would make duty of one hun
dred per cent" Also. if the price should be
brought down to a cent pound the duty would
be fifteen hundred per cent. But as dollar
a pound is the cheapest price yet made the
duty is only the percentage first stated The
ability of the esteemed Record in figuring out
high rates of duties is something phenomenal.

bricks in those days-no aching voids in the

water ran and mud formed-miniature cata-
