a .close, and tho dawn of democracy,
that now era of honesty and reform, is
at hand. Tho popular voico hnving
pronounced in fav.or of thoso principles
and purposes, based on solicitudo for
tho public weal and sc t fortli in tho.
pithy languago of th'o Democratio plat-
form, tho popular heart expands with
pleasure as tho dny draws near fotho
application of thoso principles and pur-

partisan tyranny has been carried to an
extent subversivo of. tho fundamental
principles of right and justics, and lias

having been served by an outraged and
long-enduring Nation witii a writ of

energio3 to ombairnss their successors.
They cling to power to tho last, and aro
not j et able to lealizo that tho day for
ill-gotten gains and illegitimate hading
in Hid name of tho Government is near-
ly over, and that in another month
every foul spot and long-conccalod nest
of official plunder will bo mealed in
tho sunlight of reform and honesty.
All cady tho beneficial influence of tho
new regime is making lUolf felt, and tho
lobbyist and tho treaty maker, tho post
trader and tho contractor, tho slj
tackcr-on to appropriation bills and the
Wall street sliaip, no longer lift their
lie ids in Washington with that confi-

tho approach of an ei-.v at tho capital
when tlieio willjio no place for them,
when tho Government will bo adiniuis-

REPUBLICAN HOPES.
Hoping '. that Cleveland's Administration
Will Prove Unacceptable.
Republican papers, taking counsel of
their wishes, aro predicting that tho
Cleveland Administration will not bo
aooeptablo to tho "Bourbon" clement
of tho party. Thoy credit tho President-
elect with being a reformer, althotig'h
they bitterly denied him this honor in
tho campaign; and thoy aro certain his
reform tendency will bring him in con-
flict with tho hungry members of tho
paity that elected him. Even Mr.
Beecher, whilo boHoying tho now Presi-
dents "efforts at leforni will bo sus-
tained by tho best elements of botli par-
tics, thinks thoy will glvo offense to
oflico-seckers in his own. '
It is very easy tp sjq what tho Repub-
lican press means by tho "reform" it
affects to attributo to Mr, Cleveland; it
is tendornoss toward .Republican office-
liolders. Possibly Mr. Beceher. too.
uuvy iiuvu BuiuuMicft men in ms iieau.
But it may boflo1i to remember that
tho President-elect is a Democrat, and
was chosen as n Democrat. His elec-
tion was a declaration that tho people
had enough of Republicanism and
wanted something else. His adminis-
tration, shaped as it ought jto bo by this
popular decision, will bo distinctly
DeinocraticJust as the administrations
for twenty-four years past havo beon
distinctively Republican. It will give
tho country tho change it asks for. It
will tako counsel with Democrats the
bast men in tho party not men who
aro part Republicans, but men who aro
altogether Democrats. It is to ho hoped
thaj tho "bettor element In tho Koimlj-
Hcarf ptuty" Will seo its way clear to
support its policy; but, If by "tho better
element in tho Republican party" is
meant such partisans as 'Mn Earts,
Mr. Sherman and Mr. Edmunds, wo do
not believe Sir, Cleveland JY"H garon

DEMOCRATIC REFORM.
All the Cobwebs mill AU the Corruption
Will Be Swept- Away.
Tho loading issuo qt tho Democratio
party in tho Presidential campaign was
reform. Tho Itopnblican party, with
its policy of centralism, was. fast rivet-
ing itself upon tho Government, and It
was clearly seen that if it was allowed
to retain its power much longer our
boasted republican form would prove a
failure. An oligarchy was entroneliinjr
itself at Washington, and corruption
nni tyranny prcvailedba( high places.
Tho office-holders foroN ,nn army
which tho rinesters used to support
their ovll cause, and it was manifest to
all honest, liberty-loving men that un-
less tho Republican party could bo over-
thrown tho country would bo ruined.
Tho Democratic paity had been de-
frauded and deteated so often that
many of the older party workers had
bocomo almost disheartened; but tho
bravo and patriotic leaders determined
never to givo up, and in 1884 detcr
mined to make another gallant fight.
With icform as tho issue, and with a
triodj trusty and fearless leformor as
the standard-bcaicr, tho Democracy put
on renovved strength nnd wont foi th to
win. Honest Republicans who wcro
disgusted with ringlsm and Republican
corruption, allied themselves with tho
reform party, nnd did efficient work in
defeating tho party in power.
Never vvs a political victory won bj
fairer methods; novcr did a political
victory in3plro gioater confidence.
Democrats who had always kept heait
lojoiced; Dcniociats who had bocomo
disheartened over continued defeat re-
joiced; Independent Republicans, who
cared more for good government than
for party, lojoiced. Honest and par-
otic people in every pait of this broad
land sent up huzzas when tho election
returns showed that the niajorily of
electoral votes belonged to Grover
Cloveland.
Mr. Cloveland stood squarely upon
the Democratic platform, and that plat-
form was unmistakably built upon tho
idea ot roiorni Moreover, Mr. Cleve-
land h-ld baid in words that could not
be iiisiinderStood, that ho meant to car-
ry' out the Clvil-Sorvice Reform policy.
Now what do wo understand W ra-
mml In tlin flr.iLlnr.n flin lnnlo in
tho public Treasury 'miiSt)' stopped.
The jobbers, tho Star-routo tliiovo3, nhusi
tlio partisan supcrnumano must bo
gotten rid of. Tho first step toward
this reform will bo a Demociatio Cab-
inet, selected from tho wisest men in
the paity.
In the next placo thocloiks and chiefs
of divisions in tho departments nnd in
tho various Pcderal offices throughout
tho country must bo capablo and honest,
and must not hold their positions on ac-
count of political favoritism. In other
words, tho Civil-Servico law must bo en-
forced. Just on the ovo of tho now adminis-
tration tho party in power is using
every effort to th wart tho will of tho
pcoplo by appointing partisans to oflico
and making their commissions lead
four yeais from date. In ovcry State
complaint is being made that Ropub-
ans who weio appointed for terms of
four years arc lesigning, so that other
Republicans can tako thoir placos
and cnticuch themselves behind
tho Civil-Servico law. This high-
handed scliemo will not work. Tho
holders who engage actively iu politics
shall forfeit their offices; it provides
that men appointed for partisan pur-
poses shall bo removed. If tho Repub-
licans aro allowed to fill all tho offices
with part'sans tho object of' Doraocratio
reform would bo defeated. And this
must not be. Wo havo indoiscd every
utteranco of Mr. Cleveland on Civil-
Service Roform, and wo rojoico to know
that nothing can swerve him iram his
policy. The public is indulging In fear
for nothing if it is thought for a mo-
ment that Mr. Cloveland will not bo
quick to removo all tho Republican ap-
pointees wiio havo received their com-
mission from tho death-bed Administra-
tion for tho purpose simply of Tceeping
out Domocrats.
As wo hayo said frequently tlioro nro
thousands of Republicans in tho Depart-
ments who havo violated tho Civil-
Service law by responding td tho b'aok-
mall circulars of tho Republican finance
committees. There aro thousands vylip
havo grossly violatod tho law by taking
nn activo part iu tho Rcpublioan cam-
paigns. Theso men 'aro subject to io-
nioval. On tho other hand tliero aio
many Republicans in offico who havo
proved themselves efficient and law-
qbservjng; who iiayo observed tho Civil-
Sorvico law to tho letter. These men
will not bo removed. But fovy if any f
the; appointments made sinco Uio clcij.
tlon como under this iicad.
Tho roform boom wlll'bo taken tip by
Mr. CJovqland on the 4th of Mniphi
nnd all the cobwebs and all the con up-
tion will bo (iwopt away. It may tako
time to accomplish tho groat work, biit

the handles pf theso goods would crack

Recognl7ing tho fact tiiat if English

American Bub3tltuto must not only1

tho Eastern capitalists -lent aid to

and, as usual, sho had a book under hqr
nrrai For if Edith's walks did not lead
her near tho library building, thoy wero
apt to turn in tho direction of somo ac-
quaintance, or schoolmato, who was
ready to leml a "perfectly splendid"
book.
Sho hastily put off her wrappings, and
was soon cosily nestled in, an easy-
chair, so deeply in the now volume that
sho ncvor noticed grandma's entrance,

long surprised whon ho began to oxam-
