Jay Gould has uiade more than one cor

between the great capitalist and Gov. Cor

Gould’s pigeon-holes are said to contain
evidences of many sales and purchases
of tte leading ‘ statoameu” of Now York,
without regard to party. They have of
fered themselves up on the altar of Mam

Even the righteous, magnificently proper
Anti-monopolists are said to be repre-

of the terrible Gould. Some “great men”

by meaus of the woalth and position that

public servants. They, themselves, In
many instances, have becomo corrupted
by thasesame methods; so that they do
not stop to luqutro If the means be bon*
orablo provided the end should be gratl*
fylng.
This demoralization Is not conflnod to
the State of New York. For twenty fears
past, the Federal government, in all Us
departments, hM been a vast training
school for corrupt mm; and through its
hundreds of arteries, the virus of political
corruption hM been poured Into the veins
of social and political life, all over the
country. Ufllclal delinquency aud dls
honesty have become a frightful epidemic.
It sweeps resist lessly over tte country,
and few dare challeuge It, much lose at

the only man who Lm pigeon holes; and
New York is not the only State in which

In the recent pest, and probably no more.
They are not troubled about tbeso things.
Tho harveaU are bountiful, business
brings them largo returns, their flocks and
herds multiply, Nature smiles upon their
happy and flourishing households, aud
they care not to hsrsM themselves with
contemplating the diseased state of par
ties—much less aro they willing to bear
the burdens, aud endure tho risks, of
forcing a lemedy. Political affairs have
been turned over to tbo politicians, while
they, themselves, sloop over the dangers
of corrupt and unbridled rule on the part
of political demagogues.
It wm once thought io this country that
purity lu all the departments of public
aud private life wm essential to the per
petuity of our institutions. There wm
time when even the luspldon of public
private delinquency would havo compell
ed the voluntary retirement of tbo most
exalted official. It la not so now. The
highest offices are. now well known to be
on the market; and positions of responsi
bility aro made the rewards of persoual
subserviency. Persoual Independence
swallowed up; and the party catcb-wonis
of cunning and unscrupulous tricksters
aro permitted to outweigh evon tbo de
mands of conscience and tbo mandates
Omnipotence. The individuality of the
citixen hM boon over a helmed iu the whirl
reckless and dishonorable methods.
Denunciation, on every hand, meets him
who dares raise his voice in defense of the
right and the duty of refusing to "follow
the multitude to do evil.”
There must be either change or catas
trophe. Purity must again bo enthroned
In public methods. The good must rally
in defense of that which is good; aud they
must "cry aloud and spare not” t
which la evlh If political baseness
fashionable, the fMbion must be changed,
for the take of the immense Intereste tbat
hang upon the preservation of our elvll
and political Institutions. The courage
that inspires men to do right, for the sake
ot the right, must again be the inspiration
of political m&hods in this country; else

Two Important Questions.
We havo moro than once, recently,
taken occMion to cail the attention of
Democrats to the importanco of knowing
how candidates for the Legislature stand
with reference to tbo sale of the State
road and the reopening of the question of
what are termed the "bogus bonds.” It
the habit of certain papors ln the State
to ridicule the idea that there is any need
for watibfnlacss on these two points. Wo
know that there is a strong inclination in
certain political quarters in the State to
**11 the road In question, and we believe
that ibe proceedings now on toot in the
courts, with reference to tho boud of tbe
lessees, constitute the first step lntbe plan
of gobbling up the road. Whether tbe
suspicion be well grounded or not, tbe
people have nothing to lose In compelling
their candidates for the Legislature to
show their hand on this question.
The same line or remark ls applicable
to the re-opening of tbe qneatloa of tbe
payment of the bogus bonds. Tbo idea
that this question is permanently put
real by tbo State constitution Is founded
in ignorauce of the fact that an amend
ment to tbe constitution,granting t\\ :ha;
tho holders of these bonds claim, or M
readily effected if a Legislature and a
Governor, favorable to that result, should
be chosen. If such an amendment, pans*
ed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses,
should bo submitted to tbe people, we are
not prepared to auswer for tbo result.
Wo believe Mr. Stephens looks with favor
upon tbo proposition to refer thl* question
totbeoourt*. If the peopl* indone that
view of tbo matter, there la no reason to
hope that they will b* vigilant In select-
ibgLeglsU'urt who will commit them
selves to a different policy. If they do
not Indorse that view, then there is every
reason why they should Interview candi
dates, and find out bow they stand. We
have no more interest in these questions
than those to whom those observations
are addresMd. Let no false steps be
