AN ESSENTIAL REQUISITE The Force of Numbers Necessary to Give Effect to Political Ideas. POLITICAL MACHINES AND MACHINERY Disciplined Organization Commended, Boss m Dy 1eed—The Views of ¢ man Harter, an Experi Ohlo Politician, [Copyrighted.) When Ruskin was at his best and his whole mind turned to reforms which em- braced not only art and morals, but politics as woll, he wrote that “Men only associate in parties by sacrificing their opinions or by having none worth sacrificing, and the effect of party government is always to develop hostilities and hypocrisics and ex- tinguish ideas;” a sentiment far too sweep- ing, it will appead to most men, a doctrine not without some foundation, but surely not a conclusion justified by the facts. Ancient as well as modern government has boen always one of party. History glves us no account of any despotism so severe as to absolutely destroy hostility kept alive by a party. The rise and fall of nations, the political convulsions of all ages have simply been the markers of party ascenduncy and the registrars of factional decay. For a reason which the student of blology or the professor of psychology could doubtless present very clearly, mankind never moves forward in political affairs except in bodies; and_no_Idea connected with human govern- ment has cver made substantial, effective headway until there was crystallized behina it the support of numbers, united with the energy of party. POLITICAL MACHINERY NECESSARY. As no complicated business in life, whothor It be that of commerce, trade, manufactura or religion, has ever been independent and successful without the aid of machinery, wa can hardly expect to see practical govern ment conducted without the same helps; for organization is the very first requisite to successful action, We must accept, there- fore, the axiom that in all human govern- ment worthy of the name political ma- chinery is a necessary antecedent not even o be written down as a consequence Government may properly be said to be o result, and party machinery a cause. This does not, however, drive us to any such hopeless conclusion as that what we know as “machine politics” s a necessary thing. On the contrary, party machinery, proporly managed, should be and will be the enemy of machine politics. Only by the caucus, the conven- platform—can great prin- ciples bo presentod, supported and made eternal. An army of millions, without a flag, dovoid of discipline, barren of leaders, it it remained in this chaotic state would bo powerless, oven in a great and true cause. Disorganized public opinion, no matter how clearly individuals might comprehend vital public questions, would never establish a oivil truth or break a fotter, while the same number of men gathered into a party and controlled by wholesome machinery would become invincible, might emancipate millions and found a state. Does any one suppose the truth which Cobden proclatmed in England could have trlumphed but for the formation of the Corn Laws league? Would American inde- pendence have been secured without the political machinery which kept patriotism in perpetual motion in the colonios? Granted, then, the need for party machinery, the rational question is “How much of it, what kind shall we have and how shall it be worked?" These questions properly decided will furnish us with parties and parties with powers which may, yes, always will be beneficial to tho state. Party machinery, like all other, should be simple, 50 that all political machinery the tlon and may understand its operation and so that any one of ordinary sense can direct its movements. Publicity is therefore one of the essentials for party machinery, and it should never be hidden or placed in a cormer. Secret societies in politics are therefore the bane of party and sooner or later political organizations succumb to them, as did the Whig party in the United States when Know- Nothing lodges gained control in its councils. LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL POLITICS SHOULD BE SEPARATED. Simplicity, next to publicity, is the es- sential element in political machinery, and therefore In the United Statos local, state and national politics should be separated. It Is true that one party banner, one general set of principles, should and must control a great party; yet its operations in the county should be largely independent of state con- trol, and state campaigns should be divorced as much as possible from national committeo influences. The people, as a whole, are too jealous of liberty, too prone to eriticism and too fond of publicity to, for any great length of time, consent to the rule of “the ma- chine.” The independent and the mug- wump, the most useful elements in political life, are too strong, too vigilant to make government by the “boss” a permanent in- stitution, The man who canuot read this truth in the light of recent political events in local and state politics in the Empire state of the union, ought to buy himself a new pair of political spectacles. The fact is that thero Is a leaven which goes with th proper use of political machinery which is certainly working among the people, for and in favor of sound principles and good govern- ment, while the sceds of its own death, the elements of early dissolution, always accom- pany machine politics and bring about its ruin, Its very selfishness, the narrowness of its rewards, the monopoly of office, the concentration of power, the growth of {ll- gotten wealth, become so apparent that the Very exercise of it ows enemies by the score, and they multiply until they reach lundreds and grow until, becoming resistless thousands, they fall upon the machine and crush it. MACHINE POLITICS DED OUNCED. That alongside wholesome, useful political machinery we will always have more or less machine politics is as certain as that we shall always have fleas if we have elephants, worms if we nave fruit, but he is a pes- simist indeed who fears that the flea will run off with the elephant or that the worm will destroy all the orchards. Machine poli- tics in its methods and resulls is so opposed to public interest, so injurious to real party success, 80 repugnant to the intelligent self- interest of the voter, that its enemies spring up almost as rapidly as mosquitoes do In August in a Jersey swamp, and the Influences which are at war with it are ot only patent, as we have so recently seen, but as permanent as are the foundations of our schools and churches. Today we are rapidly approaching an epoch when the sup- port of party machinists will be fatal to a candidate, and the very suspicion that he is the creation of the hosses will defeat a man at the polls and rob him of confirmation In our senates. It is only when in the midst of a struggle for existence that a great people tolerates without protest the con- tinued domination of the machine, and even it its apparent power seems to linger long after and to occasionally show alarming vigor, it is only the display of pride and the unwise exercise of power which goes be fore Its fall and which insures its ruin. As machine politics feeds and fattens on public plunder, and as the power and profit of tho “boss” depend almost entiroly upon his actual or supposed ability to control nomina- tions and to secure appointments, It is easy to see that if It Is once recognized, as it soon will be, that a machine nomination tonds to insure defeat, one wing on which tho “boss” rises will be clipped, and with a proper civil service system the control of appointments will be wrested from him for good, and his power for evil will be as emall ‘in tirrestrlal pclitics as is that of Lucifer In heaven. The citizen, then, who condemns machine politics, who' abhors the machine itselt and fears the boss, should lend his aid to every movement which has in view the divorce of the civil service from politics; as today the power to coutrol ap- pointments locally in the state and in the nation is the last crutch upon which the “boss” hobbles. Knock this from under him and he falls to the ground as helpless as a Chinese idol and as harmless as an exploded shell. ESTABLISH THE CIVIL SERVICE ON - SOUND PRINCIE B stablish the tion having capacity its corner stones and the pur the now dreaded ‘“‘boss” frequent and lonesome a figure in American politics as an Indian now Is in Fifth avenue. Men will have to go to museums then to see this great product of machine politics and the power and control now sb often exercised by him will pass over to the leader who represents a principle, who stands for a policy whose highest reward is his country’s welfare and his epitaph “Ile served his country well.” If any man says “This is a picture of the millennium” my answer is that I wish the real millen- nfum was 5o within the reach of the whole carth as this political millennium is within the easy grasp of the American people. MICHAEL D. HARTER. Washington, D. C. P CARCHERS WERE B Romains of the Victims of the Dynamite Explosi Picked Up in Fragments. PITTSBURG, March 24.—Until dark last night searchers traversed the hills and ra- vine In Black's Run, the scene of yester- day's dynamite explosion, looking for frag- ments of the bodies of the vietims. The largest portion found weighed about fifteen pounds and all that was gathered up of the four unfortunates did not weigh more than 100 pounds. Several of the ghastly fragments were identified by pleces of clothing and when the search was completed the remains were removed to an undertaking establishment in Verona, where they were distributed in four coffins. The body of Nellle Ramaley, who died yesterday while being taken to the West Pennsylvania hospital, was also re- moved to Verona and prepared for burial. The poor girl was terribly mutilated by the trighttul explosion. Deputy Coroner Morland began Investiga- tion, but nothing new was developed. The cofins containing the mangled re- mains were taken to the Lutheran church near Springdale, where services were held this afternoon, after which the Interment took place in an adjacent cemetery, gt e i Trrigation in Arizos IX, Ariz, March 24—The South Canal company has agreed to sell to F.

Wae were scated in the shade of the trees in front of a Red Cloud hotel when the con- versation turned upon the happenings of carly days. My companion, the casual ac- quaintance of a day, chanced to be an early settler of the neighborhood and in a reminis- it mood. It required but little to direct his thoughts to buffalo and buffalo hunting. Twenty-three years ago, said he, the buf- falo had not entirely disappeared from tho Republican valle The “main herd” had seattered before the advance of permanent civilization, but bands of thirty or forty were still to be seen. For two or three years after Captain, sincegGovernor, Garber, had planted the littie colony here at Red Cloud, an occasional would appear on the hills hereabouts and in 1872 one ran across the townsite, then occupied by perhaps ten or twelve familics. In the fall of 1871 six of us determined to £0 on a hunt for the fast disappearing mon- arch of the plains. Landlord George T. wanted meat with which to stay the appe- tites of prospective guests at his log hotel. Georgo and Fred R., hachelor brothers, needed food for the coming winter. W all wanted 12d K. to go with us, because he was a good housekecper. We had all dined with him at his bacnelor home adjoining the “city,” and we knew from our own personal knowledge that e was the only bachelor in the county who was over neat enough to wash the dishes at least once a day. My- self? Well, I went because I wanted fo, I was the only lawyen ou the Nebraska end of the valley.

A saucy prairie dog sat upright on the rim of the funnel-shaped entrance to his sub- terranean home, a hundred yards away, and chattered at us in & way that made me think of the “chipmunk’ on the rail fence back in old Ohio. “Ed, you can't hit that dog." “By George, 1 can."

For five days we journeyed up “La Belle Republican” and’ the pen of Mark Twain would find material for a chapter In each day. Our food consisted of game, bacon, “flap jacks” and ‘“buoy yaw,” which is frontier French for a combination of “side- meat-grease,” flour, creek water and Nes braska dust, of which last you use mors or less, according to the direction and vio- lence of the wind. Of the first you use “as much as you can get,” mix them to- gether, “bring 'em to & bile” and supper’s ready.

Next morning having breakfasted on ante- lope steak—Fd had killed an antelope—in addition to the usual menu, I ascended the slope to the east before sunrise. Across the next creek and coming toward mo was a herd of about thirly buffalo. The wind being in the west I hurried south, then cast across the creek and up the bank and saw as I cautiously appeared over a friendly knoll the last of the herd disappear down the bank into the creek in search of an carly drink. On_the opposite bank, crouching crawling catlike, I saw two animals. I have never tried to name them. T was spell- bound, hypnotized if you will. They were cats in shape and action, but their bodies scomed to me to bo four feet long and a foot in diameter. They were large enough to frighten the buffalo at any rate, for In a moment, here they came, up the trail they had descended, snorting and bellowing with terror, up the slope and toward the divide they went for half a mile or more, and then fell quietly to cating their breakfast, while I repeated the tactics of an hour before and got to windward Young man, you think I was a fool.
