The Next Political Era.

When will our present political pnr~
ties in the Union disappear, or, If retuin-
ing their present structures, when will
they undergo vital reorganization
The latter branch of the question is per-
tinent, because parties are sometimes
like tho boys jack-knife, of which the
blade WAS lost and a new one put in,
and then afterwards the handIe got
smashed and was replaced by another
Did it continue to DO the same knife !?
WAS the question with which the boy
posed is teacher. The boy himself, how
ever, was better illustrati,n Of the
same problem His teeth we're drop
ping, displaced by new ones forming in
the sockets Of his jaw; his jaws, and the
connected system of bones, were con.
tinually renewing themselves his whole
system in fact, was making over in the
course Of few years Was it the same
boy, after ail2 No matter about that !;
and it is no matter whether it is the same
Republican, or Democratic party, that
changes it principles with or without
changing its name. The vital reorgani>
zatton is inevitable from the mere lapse
of time and progress of events, in order
that each party may fit itself for the fu~
ture as it has been fitted for the past.
This progress of adaptation is not con
slant, though always operative, but it
has its marked periods, which are the
limits of what we chill political erAs.
Frondc, in opening his History Of
England, speaks of times Of change and
progress alternating with other times
when life and thought have settled into
permanent forms, when the world seem
ed to grow upon single type. in which
tho forms Of The father thoughts were
the forms Of the sons The same pc.
culiarity is observable in the political
history Of this country. For instance,
there was the era of Federalism inausu
rated by Washington's administration
the era of Democracy brought in by
Jefferson and-passing over the inter.
mediate period-the era of Slavery Dom-
ination, succeeded in our owl times by
the era Of Emancipation. In each Of
these erna, no matter how many guess
tons might be before the people, they
were all secondary and subordinate to
one. Ii has been said, indeed. that the
American people canno. consider and
decide more than one great issue at
time, but probably the better statement
would be that i: is the law of politics. "a

regard to the present political era, the

be the case. Although new issues, that
have nothing to do with emancipation
such as revenue reform, civil service re-
form, free trade, the sacredness of public
lands to settlers, the claims of labor and
the proper methods of taxation, are fast
coming into view, yet certain influences
are keeping the incidents of the emanci-
patton question still vital. nThe Bour>

leaders, combined with the organic
wrong headedness and perversity Of the
Southern wing of the party, makes ex-

that it will be an era for which our young

Partisan InfatuatiOn.

The people of Paris seem bent on ruin.
Dissolution hangs over that most magnif-
cent city. We know Of no parallel to it
since the days of Titus. The siege OF
Jerusalem, as narrated by .Josephus
showed the Jews to be the victims of a
deadly infatuation., When an opportu,
nifty to raise the siege was offered they
spurned it, and although the fall Of the
Jewish capital was brought about by
starvation, and followed by utter destruc
, ton, the Roman General has been ex-
onerated by history from all blame. 80
in this case, deeply as all would deplore
the horrors imminently threatening the
French capital, no rational person can
say that the terms offered by Bis
marck were harsh. Rarely has such
magnanimity been shown.
France, Paris alone excepted, is pros
trate at the feet Of Germany Without
an army, without government, its navy
useless, its people demoralized and igno.
rant Of the simplest rudiments Of war,
poor France Is absolutely ut the mercy
of the conqucror. The city may be re-
duccd to heap of ashes and blSckened
ruins by siege guns, or if the fertilization
cnnnons keep the besiegers too far Of for
