This announcement would at first sight appear to shine like a good omen in a world of unweaned radicals. But examination proves it to be no more than a tardy sanity. "No more Reforms" signifies nothing, since reforms in the best sense result only from a desire to remove evils, and even the cheeriest optimist cannot hope to forestall all corruptions.
