Through love of vice and lust for office.
And what is true in New York city,
where there was unprecedented incen-
tive for the friends Of good government
to keep together, is doubtless equally
true in the smaller cities.
One need not travel far among the
citizens of Americas foremost city to
discover that while the friends OF re-
form are split into small factions by
jealousy, stupidity or sheer perversity,
some of them bemoaning this or that
officials mistakes, others decrying this
or that reformer's prominence, and
again others lamenting the slightly in
creased tax levy which 1t has taken to

At this time, and as the situation now
discloses itself. Tammanyism and SUM-

exploitation of petty animosities or else

Fortunately for the cause of decency

Monmouthshiire, with population of
3, 600, 000 The smallest possible circuit
to be formed around it by an investing
army is 100 miles, so that at least 500,
600 men actually upon the spot would
be required to undertake any serious
operations for the reduction by siege of
the French capital.
In practice no fewer than 1000, 900
would be necessary. And fortified Paris,
although so much more extensive than
it was in 1870, can nevertheless be de-
fensively held at present by $50, 900
men, while if 200, 600, or even more,
were called for, they could without det-
riment to the field armies be provided
out of the 3, 700, 600 trained soldiers
whom France now has at her disposal.
