IL ANOTHER COLUMN this morning we
print an extract from a letter written by
Col. John W. Forney from London, to the
Philadelphia Press, in which he gives his
ideas upon the late defeats of the Rcpubli
can party and the remedy which, in his
opinion, should be applied to relieve the
country from its present embarrassments
and lead the party 10 victory in the next
great campaign. The positions which Mr..
Forncy has taken are substantially the
same as those maintained by THE NATION
Al REPUBLICAN, in other words, that the
labor of the country should be put to work.
As to the construction of the trans-conti
mental railroads our idea is that if any
money is expended in this way, it would
be better to invest it in the great water
routes.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-11-27

to see once great paper so fallen away
from the traditions and policy of its found
er, whose principles it processes to main
tain, treating a great and grave question in
this way. 1t can see nothing in it but the
makeshifts of political party-ofices and
patronage-and an opportunity for theft.
Seventy thousand men are idle in the city
in which it is published its own credit is
so low that it is unable to raise money to
continue work on its new building its
own business IS so poor and paltry that it
can hardly make money enough to pay its
running expenses; but, in the face Of all
this, it can see nothing in the policy of in
creasing the production of the country but
the erection of "a Federal sOup-house."
Possibly we should not blame it or its edit
Ors. They know their own situation eX
actly, better than we know it, and the il
lustration coming from them is exceedingly
forcible But we do not wish to be under
stood as objecting 10 this style of criticism
and reply. 1t only shows how strong our
position is, upon what impregnable basis
it rests. For years the country has been
suffering because of the non-construction
of the works which were alluded to in the
Presidents message two years ago, which
were carefully examined by Mr.. WINDOWS
committee and reported upon without a
dissenting voice, except in a legal way,
last winter. If the Tribune is dissatisfied
with our position and does not believe we
have indicated the true remedy, why does
it not give policy of its own? Immigra-
ton is dead, for the present, at least. VIII
the Tribune, which was once an authority
upon statistics, give us an idea of the loss
to the country in this respect alone? The
manufacturing production of the country
is less than one-half what it was three
years ago. VIII it tell us why? These
are plain questions, demanding a plain
answer. Sarcasm and TidICule and irony
and rhetoric will not do. We believe in
one theory Of benciting the country, and
We have no interest IN it whatever. Does
the Tribune oppose it because it is inter
estcd, or because its degraded and
disrcputable proprictors are interested in
defeating it?

THE NEXT SPEAKERSHLP.


1t is noticed that in the region east Of the
AllegheDies and north of the Potomac the
Democrats will have about lfty-six members
in caucus, and about ffty-eight in the region
west Of the Alleghenies and north Of the Ohio.
The balance of power will rest with about
seventy members from the South, but these,
again, are certain to be divided in sympathy
and interest. The close relations existing be-
tween New York and New England and the
Southern Atlantic States will be felt in this
contest, while the States of the Mississippi
valley will not be unlikely TO seek = basis OF
union. At the East, the more prominent eau
didates are Banks, Wood, Randall, all salary
grabbers, and Ex-Governor Walker, of Vir-
ginia, man of no parliamentary experience.
The West has Kerr, of Indiana, hard-money
man, and Wells, of Missouri. Kerr is a man
OF ability and excellent character, and his re-
cord is very clean. Mr.. Wells, as MisSourians
we'll know, has peculiar faculty of gaining
friends by his personal qualities, but will be
strongly opposed by the East.

THE ABLE EDITORS REBUKED.

NEW 1 ork W Orld.I
The cable editors" too, who undertook to
make something out of nothing-the champion
revenue reformers, who got Greeley and Gratz
Brown for their pains-were no better than
Greeley and his following. They were worse,
la fact-hirnys of larger dimensions; for Mr..
Greeley had definite object in view the sal
walton of the South, but the able editors saw
through a cloud darkly the sudden coming of
a millennial period of mild intellectual supre-
macy, and when Grants cigar smoke began to
smart in their eyes could see nothing more at
all. Routed utterly, they have been babbling
O. green fields ever since, and one has en-
braced the third-term hallucinalion, and one
has gone TO Europe on indefinite furlOugh, and
a third takes principally to apocalyptic studies,
and all of them, smelling at the dead corpse
of Democracy, swear that it stinketh more
than Lazarus being three days dead and bu-
ricd.
They could not see, no more than Greeley's
own pocket party and all their maudlin train,
that a country must follow a party, and will
not follow Q gush of mere sentiment, any more
than water will run up hill. They could not
see that, when the country could not get re-
lief in its distresses from the dominant party,
it would seek relief by calling the opposition
party into power. They could not see that the
proper constituents of party are principles,
not men ; and that men are worth nothing in
the composition of a party except as they are
capa bic to expOund and prOmulgate and en-
force principles. The fight in 1872, as in 1874,
was against corruption, fraud, mlsgoyernment,
outrage, misery but the people refused to be-
lieve these could be successfully abated by
deluging them with playful showers Of milk.

ADJUSTMENTS.
~ V n...ra

Every one knows that the instinct of amuse-
ment is part of human nature. Ever since
the planet began to roll laughter and recreation
have been legitimate elements Of life, and until
the planet is burned to a cinder and the word
fms is written at the end OF the last chapter
of human history they will continue to claim a
certain proportion Of the worlds time and
money. These amusements have kept pace
with the progress and education of mankind,
and have changed their complexion with every
advancing age. So true is this that the pleas
ures of people are always fair index of their
culture and development. A stranger in a
strange land can judge its inhabitants in no
better way than by the representative pleasures
in which they indulge. The gladiatorial shows
of Rome, which threw the people into the
widest state Of applauding excitement, were
the proof and the illustration of debauched
and ignorant populace-a pOpulace whose only
standard was military glory. The bull-fghts
of Madrid, attended by thousands and tens Of
thousands, are the most suggestive comment
on Spanish civilization. The songs of a peo-
pie no more accurately discover their general
condition than does the style of their amuse-
ments. The theatres of New York as surely
indicate the tastes of the several classes which
patronize them as the thermometer does the
temperature or the hydrometcr the humidity
of the atmosphere.

TIE DUTY OF THE REPUBLICAN,
LEADERS,
missouri Democrat. !

Missouri democrat
Until the Republicans themselves can devise
some consistent and safe policy, upon which
they can stand with reasonable unanimity, and
infdelity to the pledges they have given, they
will not gain very much by Democratic dis
cords. In truth, the one altogether necessary
thing is for Republicans to show, while they
still retain the power, that they can rule the
country wisely and honorably. The plans
which have been proposed, and by majority
of Republican members of Congress approved,
have not been justified by practical experience,
either as TO the question of currency, or as to
the adjustment of taxes, or as to the treat
ment of affairs at the South. In all these mat
tiers it is admitted by Republicans generally
that there have been errors, although they do
not entirely agree as to what should have been
done. The country waits to see what they
now propose to do about it, and will not be
satisfied if they make haste to transfer the
power and responsibility to their opponents.

THE Democratic party has its eyes set on
1876. We beg to remind it that before that
great battle comes there will be several
minor engagements, the result of which will
in all probability damp its ardOr and extin-
guish its enthusiasm. For instance, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, will elect
Governors next fall, and there is very little
doubt but that they will reverse the verdict
they have just rendered. In New Hamp-
shire there will be two general elections
before 1876. Then there will be elections in
Connecticut, Maine, Kentucky, California,
Iowa, Minnesota, Virginia, Maryland and
Rhode Island for Governor, all in 1915.
New York will elect a Secretary of State
and other officers, together with full Sen
ate and Assembly. There is a good deal of
work to be done before 1876, near as it Is.

The funds lie idle in the Treasury, and

If the Government would set this example
manufacturers and contractors would fol-
low it, and tue practice of weekly estimates
of work, followed by weekly settlements,

consequence, the cash system would soon

THANKSGIVING DAY at the National
Capital was spent in the usual quiet and
rational manner Characteristic of our city
and citizens The weather was all that
could be desired, and as the different church
bells rang out their welcomes and invita-
tions on the morning air thousands and
thousands thronged the streets, on their
way to the temples of worship, to give
praise and thanks to the Giver OF all Good
for the blessings of the year. In other
columns will be found reports of some of
the sermons that were preached, and of
the good words that were said. The able
and thoughtful words of DR.. Rankin will
be found worthy of careful study and at
tention.

THE DEMOCRATS AND REFORM.

The Democratic cry Of reform, reform, re-
form, is a very weak cry indeed, when it is con-
siGered who are making it. 1t is the same i'm
pecunious horde which, whenever 1t got into
power, signalized its triumph by all sorts of
political iobbery, extravaganza and corruption.
Those who are loudest for reform have no
other idea Of reform or change than to turn
the Republican party out of place and to put
themselves in. And imagine what would be
the effect of giving them positions of trust
after their long abstinence from the spoils of
Office.

THE New York Republic says: One
q good effect of the Republican reverses in
e this State will be to stifen up party feel
e ingand draw partisan lines more closely. "
It is sincerely to be hoped that the reverses
of October and November will have the
same effect everywhere. During the last
two or three years VIC have been jogging
along in a happy go-lucky sort of way,
taking fresh load of camp-followers on at
every milestone, and giving them, to use a
vulgar phrase, front seats. Without parti-
ticle Of sympathy with the party, its tradi-
lions, aims, or policy, each accession has
only driven away those who were true in
the times that tried mems souls.
