A BIG PARTY CaANCE.

After the pressure is lifted and times
again become good, after the Democrats
are relegated and the Pops are no more
to be feared, the most important politi-
cal question that will be confronting the
people of America is that of municipal
government. Bosses run the town and
the town governs the country. The
bosses being corrupt municipal govern
ment is rendered extravagant and bur-
thensome. The affairs Of no cities In the
world are so loosely and unsatisfactory
administered as are those of America.
All the great cities of the north are ruled
by Irish bosses, including New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, Buffalo, Cleveland
Chicago, San Francisco and doz-
ems of others. There are but
two exceptions, which are Cincinnati
and Milwaukee. A writer in the Forum
mentions some twenty or more cities
and gives the names of the Irish bosses
and Irish office-holders in each. The
array Is astounding. McKane and his
crowd in Brooklyn have been downed
only by sending them to the peniten-
tiary. Jersey City threw off her boss
yoke this spring, and Kcnsas City par
TALLY on Tuesday. Why the Irish
should fail to rule their own land and
yet find no difficulty in ruling this is
an anomaly. 1t is not claimed that the
Irish are any more corrupt or any less
patriotic than other nationalities. but
they more dearly love office, its profit
and power. The Irish may not be any
more clannish than other nationalities,
but the cities ruled by Irish bosses show
the roster of appointments almost COM
pletely filed by Irish names
But as we said in opening sentences
of this article, municipal reform is the
great demand of the country. 1t is all
the same, whether run by Irish, Ger
mans or Americans, the city and town
governments of the United States are
proverbially corrupt and excessively ex-
travagant in administration.
As the progressive party of the nation
it would seem good policy, as it is clear
~ the duty, of the Republican party,
to make municipal reform a plank in
its platform and to stand by it until
victory IS achieved. The legislative
powers OF municipalities must be large
ly restricted, especially in some direc-
tons, and municipal officers must have
greater checks put upon their actions.

THE RoG POCKET.

Topeka being the center of the north
east corner of the state and consequent.
~ the most convenient meeting point
for the aspirants of the old political
pocket. as 1t is inconvenient to the great
body of the people, the state conven-
tons, leagues, etc, called to meet there
ase almost sure 10 be dominated bv the
immediate environment. No palmer
instance of the truth of this statement
could be desired than that furnished by
the action OF the state Republican league
at their convention day before yesterday
in the selection of officers. The presi-
dent lives twenty-five miles distant fro m
Topeka, the vice president and treasurer
are both located at Emporia, but sixty
miles distant, and the secretary is a
Topeka man. OF course the old gag OF
convenience in having the officers close
together will be urged in excuse, but il
will be observed such convenience Is
principally with reference TO the center
of the pocket. But for the looks of the
thing majority of the fellows of the
old pocket would prefer holding their
meetings and conventions in Kansas
City, Missouri, which point would be as
convenient for all the south hall of the
state as Is Topeka

BUT WHERE WERE THE popss

LIZ the Waterloo of last Tuesday it was
appointed to the great party of reform
to do the insignificant act. They had OPP
portunity for testing their strength from
the Atlantic coast TO the Rocky mount
aims, and the disastrous falling off in
their vote was uniform all along the line.
Where they fused with the Democrats it
only emphasizes the total demoraliza-
ton in their party. Ii the Democratic
party has been consistent in any enc
thing it is in always polling full vote.
The universal success of the Republican
ticket over this solid vote, shows that the
Democrats received but little aid from
any quarter. 1t is noted, too, that in
but few places had the Populists the
nerve to nominate ticket. Ii all means
that their party is doomed. and their
leaders know it. Recognizing this, they
have little further use for the patronage
of those whom they have duped into
voting their ticket. Back of this is the
fact, all too apparent, that a large ma
jority Of their supporters are disguised
with the conduct of these self-appointed
leaders. With all their pretenses toward
reform, and IN the plenitude of their
promises to reform everything under
the starry heavens, they have
shown no higher motive than
simply to provide places for them
selves, and with leechlke tenacity
to fasten on to everything in sight.
The fact is that the rank and file of all
parties are honest and patriotic, and it
is no surprise that this corps of perambu-
lating papsuckers should receive this de-
cisive kick in the posterior of their vault
ing ambition. When single voter or
large body of them find that their conf
dence has been prostituted TO such base
ends, it is no wonder that they should
assert their self respect in substantial
way.
Reform is within itself fruitful theme
1t embraces that quality which is wor-
thy of the best thought and highest pur
pose of all parties, but it is dangerous
experiment for any party to attempt
lis full Accomplishment at sim
gle stroke. History supplies no
redundance of examples where it has
been brought about by new factions or
parties organized for that purpose only.
The individual who would regulate
everybody's morals will bear watching.
1t is prominently true oe parties, and
party leaders, when the tempting prize
of public plumber may be utilized as
motive power. 1t would be an over
sanguine view of the case to suppose
that this bowling horde would cease to
WELD their jaws against the existing
order of things, bnt it is a safe guess
that their communistic wailings, hence
forth, will be as babbling geese before
an army of regulars.

EXPERTS IN HANDWRITING.
How the Forger's Most Accurate Work
Is Exposed.

Is Exposed.
Regarding the methods made use oil
to determine authorship, specialist.
are naturally reticent. Some of them
have admitted, however, the nature OF
the leading principles which guide
them. The philosophy of the matter
rests mainly on the fact that it is very
rare for any two persons to write
hands similar enough to deceive care
full observer. unless one is initiating
the other. Fists" like faces, have all
some special idiosyncrasy, and the imi-
tator has not merely to copy that OF
some one else, but to disguise his own.
BY careful and frequent practice he
may succeed well enough to deceive
the ordinary man. but is rarely success.
full in battling the expert. Even the
most skillful culprit can not wholly
hide his individuality, as he is
sure torelapse into his ordinary method
occasionally. Then, again, great care
has to be used, and this can be detected
by the traces of hesitancy, the substi-
tuition of curves for angles, and vice
versa, which come out very plainly
when the writing is examined under
the microscope, as it usually is by the
expert.
A plan of detection which has been
adopted with great success is to cut
out each letter in a doubtful piece OF
writing, and paste all the As, Bs, etc,
on separate sheets of paper. The
process is also gone through with
genuine bit of caligraphy of the imita.
tor or the initiated, as the case
may be. Comparison almost in
variably shows that the letters
are less uniform if imitation has
been attempted. the writer being
occasionally betrayed into some APP
proach to his ordinary caligraphy, or
into momentary forgetfulness of some
special point in the handwriting he is
Stimulating
No point is too small to escape an ex-
perts attention. The dotting of is.
the crossing of cts" the curls and
fourishes, the intervals between the
words, the thinness of the up-stroke,
and the thickness of the down-strole,
are all noted and carefully compared.
Where only signature has been
forged. and that by means of tracings
from the original, the resemblance is
often so exact as to deceive even the
supposed author. but in these cases the
microscope is generally effective in
determining not merely the forgery,
but the method by which it was &C.
complished. 1t is some comfort to
know that the cunning of the forger
is overmatched by the scientific skill
of the trained expert. - Chambers
