say. We know OF no reason why
there should have been such 40 eX-
oep,iOn in Wisconsin to the general
drift of the elections, unless that there
this feeling OF restlessness reacted
against the opposition party locally
in power. Much was expected of the
last Lcgislature-nothing was real
lied. The times were just as hard in
Wisconsin as anywhere else, the great
reforms promised were disappoint-
ments to the people, and the new
officials were not whit better or
mere satisfactory than the displaced
Republicans. SO the uneasy voter on
his political bed rolled over again,
and as the hymn says, "changed his
place if not bis pain"
We may expect TO see a good deal
of this sort of manifestation yet.
Those who change sides from no
higher impulse than this, are held by
no such tenure as those who act from
strong conviction and are able to give
reasons for the faith that is in them
Such developments are peculiarly
characteristic of transition periods in
politics, and to certain extent they
are convenient as supplying the ma
terial for new and better combinations
Anything is better than petriiactior
in the political world. While, how
ever, this element of restlessness only
accounts for part of the recent cleo
ton changes, it is not to be overlooked
in specializing upon their stability

RestIessness in Politics.

AS men, according to Dryden, are
but children of larger growth, 1t is
not surprising to find their actions
marked by the same sort of trivial
and superficial influences which are
apt to tell upon the Juvenile mind.
Hence even political revolutions are
not entirely the product Of sound
reasoning aad comprehensive princi-
piles, but together with these are often
mingled that mere love of change
which gives us the fashions in social
life and that solitary impatience which
made the old Athenian cast his soil
tarv minority vote, because he said.
he was tired Of hearing Aristides al
ways called the Just. No careful OBJ
server of American politics during the
last half dozen years can have failed
TO detect this element Of restlessness
among q very large proportion Of our
voters. I'll is partly reaction from
the over-strainei earnestness of the
war period, partly due to the feeling
of the great issues which SO long oc-
cupied the antagonistic parties of the
country have nearly worn out aud
laid aside, and is still more stimulated
ut this time by the depression that
prevails in business affairs, throwing
so many out OF employment and de-
priving more of theirlaccustomed and
needed incomes to meet steadily in
creasing expenses. rhe disorganiz.
ing effects of these influences are as
extensive as they are difficult to dea1
with, for their almost inevitable oper.
ation is to swell the opposition to tile
party in power by men who do moi
care to give any reason for theil
change Of votes, and who generally
indeed, give 40 warning of what they
intend to do.
A very curious illustration of these
statements is afforded by the election
in Wisconsin, being in the nature O
IN exception that proves the rule
In that State last year the Republ
cans were defeated by over $1,000
majority on joint ballot in the Legis
lature. Now the Republicans hav,
carried the State by about 5000 ma
