LOYALTY VERSUS DUTY.

| Every man understands what politi-
cal loyalty is. The most popular poll
tician is the man "who stands by his
friends" This means that the man
who is elected must dispense the Of
fees to his friends OR be stained for
ever with political obloQuy. II also
means that between the politicians Of
one party and another, the elected Of
fetal must stay by his own party poll
ticians. 1t also means that no offices
must be abolished by him who has the
power to fill those Offices and satisfy"
somebody.
Right here there must be change.
1t cannot be questioned that the poll
tician, become an officer, who IS loyal
to his friends, is admirable. Such a
one is honorable and true and the pub
lie admires him for standing by his
friends as much as his fellow politi-
clans. But when there Is q necessity
10 abolish an Office and that officer
fails to abolish that Office in order to
reward his friends, the people lose their
admiration quickly for him and the
politicians cannot save him. This fault
should be remedied. II is useless to
ask the public official to remedy It
When one hundred men are logging
him for ten Offices and he IS trying to
satisfy all of them, he cannot be super
human enough to abolish any Office in
sight SO the remedy must come
through the politicians, and those poll
ticians who have the interests Of their
party at heart 1t is their business to
get upon the ground quickly and make
demand upon the officer that he
abolish the unnecessary offices. This
should be done even il they array the
other politicians against them, for it is
too much to think that such a demand
could be unanimous.
The metropolitan police commissions

FIGURES FOR CAMPAIGNS.

Most Of us have watched the Populist
party go to the school of politics and be
instructed. from its infancy. The first
day the PopuliSt party stepped into
school it was a singular, bull-headed
yOungSter, with some very queer ideas
of politics Its first assertion was that
no lawyer should belong TO its party.
The teacher, the great political COM
mon sense teacher, practical politics,
diSSented. The next assertion of the
new pupil was that the Sub-treasury
warehouse was the panacea demanded
by the country. To this the teacher
diSSented. The next thing championed
by the shOck-headed youth was the as
Sertion that fiat money was impera-
tive. The next theory of the pupil
was that the government should own
all public utilities. The teacher dis
scented TO all these claims and the very
first pop out of the box the new pupil
sailed in and wh3led the daylightS out
of the teacher.
But the teacher triumphed. The ban
against lawyers was removed. Next
the sub-reasury warehouse plan was
forSaken; next, the fiat idea of money.
The POpulists are still clinging to the
government ownership idea. Just as
soon as they find that it is not politics
to advocate it they will drop it. But
the last political lesson the Populiss
learned was during dwellings second
race for governor. This was Il lesson
they Will never forget The Populist

tables did no good. What were in

not wading through tables Of two or
three thousand figures for amusement.
Such tables showing what a grand
