The London Times makes the pre-.
sentation of Miss Nellie Grant to the
Queen the occasion of an elaborate
review of the international relations
of the two countries, and hints that
the enlarged Information which this
young miss will obtain concerning
the governing classes of England may
have an important effect on the rela-
lions of the two countries at this in
terestlng conjuncture. We wish, in
the most considerate, polite and del
lcate way possible, to obtrude some

ANEW ORDER OF THINGS NEEDED.

The Democrats are divided now
into two classes. the patient and the
impatient, as the Republicans are
divided into three classes, the mad,
the bad and the sad, to say nothing
of the Liberals. We leave the Re
publicans to take care of themselves.
and can but advise the Democrats to
keep cool and deliberate, at least I'M
til the meeting of the Democratic
National Convention. 1t is idle to
deny that tens of thousands of Dem
ocrats are committing themselves
both to the Cincinnati platform and
candidate, and it is equally idle to
deny that other thousands are OPP
posed to any such commitment, and
fly off in a passion because they, and
men like them. cannot the DEM
ocratic machinery just to their w
liking. In all our experience, ex-
tending at least over eight Presiden-
tial terms, we do not recall any
period of time, or any condition of
parties, where men were so unwilling
to travel any road pointed out to
them by others. However much
they respect genius, talent, and gem
eral leadership, the masses do not
seem to be at all in the humOr to
follow any direction but their own
instincts and judgment. With 50, 900
or 100, 900 otfice-holders, fighting for
their own bread and butter, the case
is different, as it is with tens of
thousands more who live on high
tariffs, and, therefore, do not object
to high taxes and a personal Govern
ment. The politics of such men are
their interests, and as a rule they
are governed by them and them
alone. We recently witnessed the
effects of a caucus of Republican
legislators in the State OF Connectl-
cut. Its combinations and agree
ments are simply east to the winds
by a union of Liberal Republicans
and Democrats, and the same union
may be true again of a higher officer
than a Senator in Congress. The
country is in just that unsettled state
when men will think as they please
and act as they please. If the lead
ers follow public opinion they are
no longer leaders, but simply wise
counsellors, and in this line, of duty
they may be of immense benefit to
the rank and file, and through them
to the country. To fight this public
opinion, or any large part of it, is
simply like beating back the waves
with a broom. 1t Is idle, therefore,
to quarrel withmen who are charged
with abandoning their party organi-
cations SIMPLY Decaus they do not
now run with the machine. If the
real machine mean business and
success, they must simply place the
national locomotives and passenger
trains upon the right track. The
country needs a change of admins
tration as much as the seasons need
variety, or that the heavens should
dispense rain. Twelve years of
power in almost any party would
lead to the abuse of power. Three
years under Grant has demonstrated
an amount of corruption, selfishness,
ambition and discord which demands
a new order of thinpS
