The archbishop, both as citizen and as churchman, came to the front, and with others of infiuence threw his weight into the scale for law and order. Governor Rusk publicly acknowledged more than once the value of the assistance he had When You Go Home to Vote. Within a few days a large number 0 voters who for busine: ms res! to visit their respective the purpose of exer: ing privi migrate are whom have votes mean many people hours of daily toil, Virginia and Maryland s who vote.

The Chicago platform and Mr. Bryan are in the welfare of the agreed in their antagonism to civil service leader know no variance of opinion as to the pres- reform. The party and the party ent ; beth have declared themselv, on to “‘life-tenure,” in hot chase of the spoils. It matters not that demoralization of the public servi would ensue should the Chicago platform and its sympath-tic sntative be suc- cessful at the polls ike considera- tions do not enter into any of the calcuta- tions of the hungry and thirsty multitude that follows the Bryan standard wherever it weves. The demand is for immediate re- turn to the methods by which the taxpayers were robbed of millions of dollars through departmental Inefficiency. The proposition, locally stated, means the expulsion from government employ of every one the rolls, without regard to fitness, substitution therefor of a sufficient number of the hungry and thirsty aforementioned, who in turn are to be expelled four years later. Such ideas if put in practice would convert this city of homes into a camp, a place of temporary sojourn, where those who were new in office would not have means sufficient to establish themselves and where the strictest economy in pe expenses woul vail to the end that a: much as possible may be taken away at the conclusion of the limited term.

The resounding whack that the arcn- bishop gave Tammany Hall a few years ago is also recalled. He spoke then for gocd men and good politics just as frankly as | he speaks now. His words were resenred then just as in the same quarter they are resented now. The friends of the meiro- politan of St. Paul esteem it a feather in his cap that by no combination of cireum- stances has he ever been brought into sympathy or alignment with Tammany Hall. Some exceedingly well-informed men, Catholics as well as Protestants, see noth- ing whatever in Archbishop Ireland's de- liverance to embroil him with his church, but only that calculated to give him ad- ditional credit before the country as a man and citizen. He expressly disclaims speaking as a churchman, and he has so frequently before spoken and acted on current issues as a man and citlzen that the doing so now should invite no surprise or criticism. He has an influence in bis section of the country apart from his in- fluence as an ecclesiastic. He has so identified himseif with advocacy of good government, and has participated In so many non-sectarian movements in the in- terests of securing good government, that Protestants as well as Catholics, it is as- serted, hold his Individual judgment about men and measures in very high esteem. —__~++<—_.

The Bryan plan Icoks to the dismissal of these experts so that “the humbler members of our society” —whoever they may be—may receive some of the “benefits” of public employment; in other words, that as many as possible of those who support Bryan may he re- warded therefor out of the public purse; be given gratuities.
