w aiting for a Party.

In d number OF Punch, dating back some
Years, a cartel was given representing two sus-
picious characters standing IN the recess Of u
street corner IN L0udun, VINO were called to ac-
count by policeman TO know what they were
doing there. The disguised c0untenances which
bore unmstakabe resemblance to Disrael and
an associate in "a Cabinet then out Of power,
made answer that they ere waiting for par
ty. The double sense was perfect. III their
character as Individuals, protesting the lnno-
cent purpose OF meeting friend only, they were
really ready Tor breach Of the peace, and fit
subjects for arrest. In their political characters
they were ready to break the peace OF the coun-
try to get up party tIat might elevate them

the scene lmmortaized by Punch is rcprodu-
ced in the streets Of the great city called the
United oOates, to-day. Ia dohsn recesses
there are groups OF suspicious persons " waiting
for a party so they will answer, when chal-
leuged--proesslng to wait Tor the simple pur-
nose of meeting a friend but who really watch
and plot 20 divide the people over the grel
patriotic duties falling to Us to 90. DlsIael
never thirsted for a cause OF antdgonlsm To a
ministry IN power as these men thirst tor oppor-
tunlty to den0unca some class OF CITIZENS, IN or
der to get up another class whose opinions they
may represent They not onlywait but thrst,and

otism may be got to differ and contend They
are not satisfied without party bitterness is

The chiei occasion these macontents are now
able to create is the false charge that majority
Of the supporters Of the Administration desire
to break down the Constitution itself, to al.er
the fundamental principles OF the Government, and
/ by these means 70 create such intense disgust on
/ the part OF the rebels that no human Tower ean
