Spoils and Anti-SpolK
"Weare here to arrange to get the
office" raid a Texas delegate to the na
tional Republican convention that
nominated Gan. Garfield and the re
mark vu heartily applauded by a body
whoee member* represented every por
tion of the UViion. To first get the of
fice and then distribute the plunder
these positions aid their holders in get
ting does indeed seem the purpose of
the party to which Flanagan, of Texas,
belongs. "Keep us in power," is the
plaintive cry, "because without public
positions and enormous ralaries from
the public treasury the grand old party
must die."
The Democratic party braes it* claim
to public consideration upon higher
grounds, and, as the American Remitter
so forcibly insists, appeals to the justness
of its cause to the people, who are per
fectly familiar with the past history of
the Republican party. It is not a matter
of spoils, but of political principle*; and
if the I>emocracy cannot show good
reasons why a change should he made
then no change is needed, and the
party in power might be left in peacea
ble possesion. There is however, great
need of a change, and the faithful stud
ent of current events and the man who
reads and thinks, both recognize the
truth of his declaration. The Govern
ment has now been managed by a
party styling themselves Republican,
sinoe the beginning of the war. In all
this period the revenue* have been enor
inous, and the ex pence proportionally
great. The citizen has borne the
burdens of taxation without complaint,
and discharge the duties imposed upon
him with patriotic regard for the com
mon weal ; but, as the years have gone '
on wise statesmanship ha* been invoked
to lighten public burdens and no at
tempt made to check the extravagance
which is now condemned upon every
band. Immense revenues have been
drained from the people simply to i
maintain extravagance, and an army of
officeholders now eat up the taxes
which they pay. Instead of addressing
themselves to the problems which the
times demanded, and havingjust regard
to the public welfare, the leaders of the
Republican party heve bent their eni r
gie* to the perpetuation of power, and
to this end have made friends with
the rich and influential, and fostered all
manner of monopolies to still further
oppress the people and make the re
forms demanded almost impossible of
atta^iment.
The expenses of tins government are
now gIOO.QuO.tIOO annually. No |M-r*<in
of good sense will contend that -uch an
enormous pay.roll i needed to carry on
the ordinary ITIM of government. It
is said to 1-e neces-sry now. but it is not
because there in just demand for it but
because the system of waateandextruva
ganre introduced by the party inj ier
ha* swelled it to such proportions. itt.t
great an thi* *utn is and nced!e*>!v ex
pended a- much of it must 1>-, the coin
plaint would not lie no great if tbin
public burden was equally borne. Thia
ia, however, not the ease. The rirhes
ra|e while the toiling million* mu<i bear
it tlmwl alone. It i cgainst tin*
unequal and unjust ay stern of govern
ment that the people are making com
plaint, and loud a* the clamor ia, and
long continued the a* use, th- party
responsible lor thia gives neither heed
nor attention, but goes on making
alliance* with wealth and seeking noth
ing hut its own aggrandizement. Mean
while scandala are rife, villainies are
perpetrated wherevar the opportunity
ofler* for private enrichment or party
advantage, and the nation ia Incoming
corrupted, front the fountain of powtr
among the peoplo to the rapitol where
ait the men who guide the national
deatiny. *
Step by atep tbo standard of public
morality ia being lowered, gradually
bnt aurely the virea of politicaare tak
ing the place of patriotism, and unless
checked by a complete overthrown, the
Republican parly will so debase and
destroy the springs of public life and
aetirity tbat love of liberty and lore of
oounlrywill soon Hod a common grave
in the struggle for power and the com
plete debauchery of public morals.
There is a wild distinction between
the party in power and it* great rival, tbe
Democratic party. The one ha* been
corrupted by the men wbo have made
themselves the masters, and no reform
by them is now possible, while theotber
has ever been the party of the people
and has its principle* based in a love of
common justice and the largest liberty
consistent with the public welfare. Tbe
Democracy bra higher aim* than the
distribution of party spoil, and it asks
the popular confidence, not to enrich
its leaders, or make snort of the func
tions of government, but to bring back
the nation to tbe landmark* of liberty
and law and secure to the people what
they have not eqjoyed for many years
vis., the bleesinga of good government.

Pttfli a Bankrupt Act
There is moat pressing necessity for
the enactment of a Rational Bankrupt
law during the present session of Con
gress.
It was the imperative duty of the
Forty seven tli Congress to puss such an
act, but that obligation, with many
others, was ingloriously shirked.
This Congress will be even more cul
pable than its immediate predecessor if
it shall fail in faithful performance of
this urgent duty, for the neceesity
which was great a year • ago is greater
now and cannot fail to grow during
every month of neglect.
The local laws regulating the collec
tion of debts and the adjustment of in
solvent estates are utterly inharmon,
ions, those in each State being unlike
those of any other State. Greater var
iety could scarcely have been secured
if the maximum of dissimilarity bad
l>een the objective point.
And it is not going too far to say that
the insolvent laws of a good many
States are, in the highest degree, far
orable to rascality—are eminently pro
motive of iinjustice and calcufeted to
discourage anything like honesty in
business.
What is a law that will take the es.
tate of an insolvent end easily cheaply
and equitably divide it among hwcredi
tors to prevent pro rata division of the
proceed* of the property
There should be a reasonable ex
emption of effects, including household
goods, implements of trade, books,
keepsakes, etc., all, however, to b
brought within a fair limit.
Bankrupts who have been honest in
their business and have promptly sur
rendered their assets for the benefit of
their creditors, should be discharged,
cut loose from the old bulks, and per
mitted to begin anew.
It ougbt not to be impossible tor Con
gress U fix on the details of a proper
bill. It may be that tbe Lowell bill, as
amended by tbe Commercial convcn
tion, will be found to come very close ,
to what is wanted.— Waefunfftem /'.

Lincoln and the Speed*.
The late Joshua F. Speed, some years
before his death, gave me an
interesting account of his early
acquaintance end with Abra
ham Lincoln. One day Lincoln came
into bia store and said "Speed, they 1
wsnt ma to run for the legislature.
Whet have you to ray about it ?" Speed
' replied j "Do you think that you can
be elected r" Lincoln answered t "Weil
the boys ray *e." "Very good," raid
Speed. "Go it and 1 will staad by you."
Linooln vne then deputy sheriff of tbe
oounly. He told Speed that be wanted
to study law, and thought from hie pay
in the Legislature he oould rave e little
money, which would enable him to do
it. lie became a candidate aod aston
ished the native* by hts great oapacity
on the stump. His competitor had nut
a lightning rod on his house, ana it
was the only ona to be found in all that
region. Many roars of laughter did
Linooln raiee by describing the fear of
hi* opponent that God AI might would
■irike him for his manifold ain* of
omission and commission. The election
resulted in Linooln'* triumph. Eight
or ten months after the Legislature ad
journed be again cam# into Speed'a store
and raid : "Speed, I heve rented a taw
ctfictant|am to pay twodolUrs a month
v7 ;<,
for it. I have counted up how much
it will oost to fit up s bed in my office,
and it will take just seventeen dollars.
Will you credit me for thet amount?"
"Ob, yes," said Speed ; " but I think I
oan put you in away to save those
seventeen dollars." "How? ""Well, my
partner and I have been sleeping in the
ramo bed for some time, lie is gone
now, and if you wish, you can take his
place." "Where i* your bed?" "Up
stairs." Linooln immediately went up
and after surveying the room and
tbe bed, came beck and remarked:
'Well, Speed, I m located." Mr.
Speed assured me that be and Lincoln
slept together about four years. Such is
s fwrt of tbe early history of one of the
most remarkable men of this age.
Whether what I have related had any
thing to do with the appointment of
tbe Ifoo. James Speed as Attorney
General of the United States [ know
not. But Ido know that if I had !<een
in Mr. Lincoln's place, and Joshua
Speed had a brother, a* he bad,
who was qualified for that position,
he should have been assigned to it.
Certain it is that Joshua Sposd was one
of President Lincoln's most intimste
and cherished friends throughout bis
administration.
