WASTE  OF  MONEY. 
“Economy  in  public  expenditures,” 
says  the  candidate  for  office,  “is  the 
motto  upon  which  I  desire  to  come  before 
the  peojile,”  and  straightway  he  sits  down 
and  calculates  the  cost  of  his  successful 
candidacy.  His  assessment  must  be  paid 
to  his  General  Committee  and  the  usual 
contributions  must  lie  made  toward 
the  holding  of  meetings  in  his  interest, 
while  certain  other  sums  must  be  appro¬ 
priated  to  defray  tho  usual  necessary  (?) 
expenses  of  the  campaign.  What  cam¬ 
paign,  forsooth  ?  What  is  a  campaign  ? 
Webster  defines  it  as  “  tlie  time  that  an 
army  keeps  tho  field,  either  in  action, 
marches  or  in  camp,”  and  no  more  appro¬ 
priate  word  could  be  used  to  describe  the 
scenes  of  nctmty  through  which  the 
anxious  candidate  passes  from  the  time 
just  preceding  his  nomination  for  office, 
till  his  election  or  defeat  at  the  polls.  He 
makes  constant  war  upon  tJie  iiolitical, 
religious  and  personal  prejudices  of  his 
opponents,  and  just  as  persistently  coaches 
the  weak-kneed  of  his  own  Avay  of  think¬ 
ing.  In  doing  all  this  he  jjoiu’s  out  oceans 
of  money.  For  what  good  ?  Is  the  com¬ 
munity  benefited  by  this  expenditm-e — 
nay,  waste — of  money?  No.  It  is  all 
wrong.  We  are  a  produciug  people  and 
generally  a  sensible  people  ;  but  in  this 
one  little  matter — of  the  exercise  of  the 
sovereign  right  of  citizenship — wo  are 
someAvhat  “  slack.”  This  lavish  waste  is 
not  confined  to  any  one  party  or  set  of 
individuals ;  but  has  grown  to  bo  general 
throughout  the  country. 
The  ordeal  of  the  Presidential  election 
through  which  w-e  have  just  passed  is 
proof  to  the  thinking  mind,  of  the  truth  of 
these  assertions  and,  now  it  is  all  over, 
w’ould  it  not  be  well  to  look  the  matter 
calmly  in  the  face,  with  a  view  to  its 
abatement  ?  The  one  pai'ty  will  say  that 
if  W'C  fail  to  do  all  tliese  things  the  other 
of  humanity,  and  in  iwldition  to  its  waste- 
fuhiess  is  productive  of  an  undercurrent 
of  demoralization  which  all  the  churches, 
missionary  societies,  and  charitable  insti¬ 
tutions  in  tho  country  are  iiowerless  to 
coniiteriict.  Let  us  discountenance  what 
are  called  “election  exiionses."  To  be 
sure,  there  are  laws  against  thus  using 
money  ;  but  these  laws,  like  those  against 
gambling,  are  only  enforced  where  public 
ojiiuion  demands  it.  Each  one  of  us  forms 
an  integral  pru’t.  of  this  public  opinion, 
ami  it  is  only  by  the  individual  effort  of 
each  of  these  integral  parts  that  such 
things  can  be  discountenanced,  and  such 
Iiracticos  be  made  obsolete.  In  wateliing 
the  effects  of  these  exiieuditnres,  as  we 
have  for  many  years,  we  have  become 
satisfied  tliat  public  oiiiuion  must,  ere 
long,  seize  tho  monslc-r  and  grapple  wiUi 
it,  or  our  liberties  are  endangered.  It 
is  confined  to  no  jiarhiculor  party,  but 
has  become  the  rule  on  both  sides. 
Hence  its  danger.  These  reforms  must 
emanate  from  tho  Rural  population,  for 
the  cities  will  never  start  them.  We 
therefore  call  upon  onr  agricultural,  pro¬ 
ducing  class  who,  above  .all  people,  are 
mode  to  feel  any  lack  of  economy,  to  join 
hands,  without  distinction  of  jiarty  or 
politics,  and  put  an  end  to  tliis  fearful 
extraviigance — tliis  wicked  waste  of  money 
every  year  about  election  time.  It  can 
be  done  if  the  people  will  unite,  and  done 
right  easily,  too.  Try  it  I 
A  OHEEEFTJL  TONE. 
During  the  past  few  weeks  business 
men  have  talked  in  a  more  cheerful  tone 
than  for  some  time  previously,  aud  this 
seems  to  inspire  confidence,  in  all  the  va¬ 
rious  industries,  which  is  but  another 
instance  where  mere  words  or  the  manner 
of  uttering  them,  may  change  the  aspect 
of  affairs  in  a  community  or  country.  It 
is  certainly  a  good  sign  of  an  improvement 
in  financial  eii'cles  when  men  begin  to  talk 
encouragingly  of  fnture  prosiierity,  for  a 
returning  faith  in  the  present  and  what 
may  come,  is  second  only  in  value  to  a 
positive  reahzatiou  of  tlie  thmg  sought. 
The  facts  will  probably  bear  ns  out  in  as¬ 
serting  that  the  country  has  at  no  time  in 
the  past  half  century,  been  richer  than 
during  these  very  times  of  stagnation  in 
business ;  but  there  has  been  a  lack  of  con¬ 
fidence,  or  faith,  in  the  substantiality  of 
our  wealth,  and  this  has  caused  inactivity 
in  trade,  The  “flush  times”  during  the 
war,  brought  a  legitimate  result — a  cor¬ 
responding  reverse  of  circumstances. 
Those  who  were  injured  most  cried  the  ' 
loudest  about  hard  times  and  general  de¬ 
pression  in  business,  and  this  cry  was 
taken  up  and  re-echoed  through  the  land.

P^ditor.s*  Good  Nature. — Mr,  Thos. 
IVIerfian,  Editor  of  the  Gardeners’  Month¬ 
ly,  like  many  other  men  of  his  profession, 
is  not  only  good-natured,  but  enjoys  a 
sharp  criticism,  especially  when  his  critic 
tumbles  into  a  pit  of  his  own  digging.  In 
the  last  number  of  the  Monthly  we  notice 
a  correspondent  scolds  tho  editor  for 
speaking  of  the  common  garden  Hydran¬ 
gea  as  If.  horfemi/t,  claiming  that  it 
should  have  been  spelled  “  Hortensia,” 
adding  that  it  was  named  after  Queen 
Horten.se  —  all  of  which  Mr,  Meehan 
publishes  Mitli  thanks  to  tlie  critic,  never 
as  much  as  hinting  that  “Hortensis”  is 
from  J/orfu.'i,  .a  garden  ;  lienee  the  com¬ 
mon  name  of  the  species,  notwithstanding 
the  very  “Frenchy"  stoiy  about  Queen 
HoRTENsaG  who,  by  the  way,  was  a  little 
miss  of  five  years  at  tho  time  the  above 
Hydrangea  was  introduced  into  English
