Democratic Management.

Reform is a favorite catch-word with democratic politicians. Always l>efore an election we have it harped upon, and all j.he changes rung upon it by their editors and stumpers, great and small. The public money is being squandered, and they are just the men to stop the leaks; extravagance runs riot in all departments of the 'government, and they alone are capabl of substituting a perfect system of econnmy; the taxes are not being collected, rascally “ rings ” control government officials, and they alone are possessed of such immaculate purity that no “ ring ’’would have the effrontery to come into their presence with even the thought of a corrupt proposition This is their plan when they are out of office and want to get in. Put them in and the whole thing is changed at once. They have nothing more to say about economy or reform in the adtainistration of the government Not a word about the reduction of expenses, or the faithful collection of the taxes,' or the corruption of government officials. But invariably under their rule the expenses of the government, whether -State or National are fiucreased. Apd who ever knew a democratic administration to reduce a public debt*— Toledo Blade.
