The ridiculous partisan attitude dir
played by the rump House in its linger-
ing illness by an unnecessary length
OF session is peculiarly Democratic.
Whatever threads of fancied argu-
ment were seen before the last
election have been swept away by the
Republican storm of popular upheaval,
and certainly now an attempt to bother
the Senate to the limit of the Houses
legal existence, is only puerile in its
folly.
In the midst of such aggravations THE
NEWS wonders if any Difference is due
to this Democracy Of ours, especially
on the part of those men
whom the people have wisely
selected to replace them, or even from
those Republicans who have been
elected as such by General Assemblies
to ornament high positions of trust and
honor in any other department of the
State Government. II there are any
Democrats after Office OF honor at the
hands OF the next Assembly the action
OF their own party warrants their turn
Ing down promptly and effectively.

Mills, Vest nnd the other apostles OF
free trade sat as stiffiy and as silently az
craven images yesterday while Senator
German announced that the semi-pro-
tectionist bill now before Congress was
the child of the Democratic party; that
1t had been constructed on the Demo-
cratic theory Of tariff for revenue with
such incidental protection rs could be-
given consistently to the industries of
the country, that II followed strictly the
course marked out by President Cleve-
land in his letter of acceptance, upon
which he was reelected, and the Demo-
cratic party intrusted him with full
rower.
Not free trade voice was raised in
protest. Not word was said in de-
fence of the party platform thus ruth

exhibit plans showing how different New
York would look with the Meigs in
place of the cumbersome system now In
vogue.
The Meigs system is bitterly opposed
by The Herald, for reasons that are per-
fectly well understood, but it ought to
treat the public honestly and fairly and
not endeavor to prejudice it against a
system that contains none of the objec-
tionable features of the roads that the
Herald is devoting page after page to,
with the frenzy Of personal hatred.
Honesty in paper like The Herald,
which is trusted by the public, is a
good policy, and the public will make a
PAPER which imposes on it feel very
tired when the fact finally Sits down
through its understanding.
1t needs only glance at the

tod papers and knowledge OF their
ownership to understand their opposi-
tion to the only system that will evel
relieve Boston from its congested traffic
and give it rapid transit.

Let MS see. what did the last d mo-
cratic national platform have to say OF
the question OF civil servicei II Is mo-
material under recent rulings Of the
Democracy, which decides that plat
forms ara made to get in ON, not tc
stand on, but for the sake of gratifying
curiosity on the subject.
That Chicago platform, which has
been more honored by being disregarded
than obeyed, says:
'We reaftirm the declaration of the
Democratic national convention of 1876
for the reform of the civil service, and
we call for the honest enforcement of
all laws regulating the same"
"We pledge the Democratic party to
the reform of these and all other abuses
which threaten individual liberty and
local government.
Going back to the Democratic plat
form of 1875 we find this plank: ere
form is necessary in the civil service.
Experience proves that efficient, eco
nomical conduct of the govern
ment business is not possible
II its civil service be sub
ject to change at every election be a
prize fought for at the ballot box be
brief reward of party zeal, instead of
posts OF honor assigned for proved COM
potency, and held for fidelity In the
public employ that the dispensing of
patronage should neither be q tax upon
he time OF all our public men, nor the
Instrument of their ambition. Here
again promises falsifed in the perform.
lnce attest that the party in rover
'an work out no practical or salutary
eform."
The Democratic platform adopted at
5altimore, June Q, 1872, says: 1--WE
egard therefore thorough reform of
ne civil service as one of the most press
ng necessities of the hour; that honesty.
apacity and fidelity constitute the only
aid claims to public employment; that
he Offices of the Government cease to
Q a matter of arbitrary favoritism and
atronage and that public station shall
come again post Of honor"
In the face of these repeated pledges,
overing q period of over a score. of
'ars, Democratic House strikes from
10 appropriation bills the appropriation
seded to sustain the civil service
an amount so small that It
not demanded by even parsimonious
enemy and Is unjustifabie from any .
andpoint.
The Democrats by this act have
aced themselves deliberately on record
spoil seekers, aud as repudiating one
the most important planks in their
rious party platforms during the last
years.
