10 an impartial outsider-and we are an
impartial outsider-the present condition
OF our national politics is eminently pleas
ing The attitude of the Republican party
has always been so, either in the sense Of
satisfactory or in the sense of diverting,
and bow the Democratic attitude is mildly
absurd. The wizard Vallaudigham wav-
ed his wand and opportunely dies, and 10
the Great Pugnacity struck hands with
is mouthing opponent, mounting squarsly
upon his platform to do It. The " new
departure" is forcibly suggestive of the
sudden waking of man who has been
FOR some time conducting somnambulist-
ic campaign against the sharp east wind,
in neither garment of distressing thinness
and orevity, and without other armor.-
and yet there is something about it that
calls to mind my lord Byron's couplst re-
garding the afrigbted seamen.
They vow to amend their lives. and yet thsy

Because if drowned they saa't--if spared.

For some years the two political parties
have devoured one another with an apps-
tite as raneorous as that of empty tigers.
They tugged and wrestled with fervor
hitherto unknown in the political arena
that is to say, unknown in the world. Te
quote again, they
each pulled different ways with many
an oath,
"Arcades ambo' i'd est-blacksuards both"

fesses that he has nothing to fight for, con-
cedes the superior animals title to the
bone for which he fought, "bides > wee"
to steal it from him unawares. If there
is anything more purely ludicrous in polit-
ical history than this, it has escaped our
observation, and that of our father before
US While we do not at all believe in the
sincerity of the Democratic adhesion to the
new gospel of peace, and feel serene
confidence that should they attain power
that party would calmly relegate it to an
honorable obscurity among the apocrypha
and swear they never accepted it, the fact
Of its PRONUNCIATION and endorsement is
significant one. Usually in times of dull
ness, when there is absolutely nothing to
fight about, the politicians hang on to dead
issues and past differences with jealous
tenacity of grip, and only "let up" to lay
hold on some rising doctrine that shall pull
then upward into power. In this case it
is not So the new "question" has not ap
peared, and the Democratic grip seems to
have loosened from the mere stiffening Of
