orr DE ORDER

There is some rather lively if not very i'm
portant discussion in political quarters respect
ING the attitude of the Federal Administration
toward the various candidates for tho Gin
cinnati nomination. There is no doubt "a to
Gen. Grants preferences. His first choice is
Grant. His second is Conkling His third is
Morton. This much is notorious. But whether
he will put on the screws with the usual
energy in behalf of Mr.. Conkling before the
Convention meets, OF will leave that body free,
AZ the saying is, to consult It's own wishes, is II
matter of uncertainty, and the politicians are
watching carefully to see how the machine
will be worked.
The point seems to attract rather more curl
osity than it deserves. In ordinary times
nothing more than the influence of the Admin
istration would be needed to settle the claims
of rival aspirants, such as those now in the
field. A word from Washington would turn
the $4,000 professional oflice-holdcrS who
practically manage the primaries into friends
of Blaine, or admirers of BristOw, or
humble worshipers of the superb statesman of
Utica. But this year the machine is out of
order. 1t was tried in Newly York, and the pro-
duet was so unsatisfactory that Mr.. Conkling

has been helped. 1t was tried in Virginia, for
the purpose of securing n pledged delegation
for Conkling, and the consequence is a dele
CATION in which Mr.. Blaine commands Is
votes out of %, and the remaining four are
divided. And wherever the experiment may
be tried we have no doubt the result will be
substantially the same parallel occurrence
is reported in South Carolina, where an at
tempt to work the local machine in the interest
of Morton seems to have greatly increased the
power Of the reform Republican element, and
strengthened Gov. Chamberlain, who is Nor
toms earnest opponent.
The general revolt against official dictaton
is one of the cheering signs of the time. The
greatest danger to our Government lies in the
creation of distinct oflice-holding class, which
pursues politics as trade, organizes itself for
the purely business purpose of getting or
keeping power and when it has learned the
craft of managing conventions and setting up
candidates, bargains with central dispenser
of patronage to give its services in exchange
for appointments. 1t was the rapid growth
of this class under the second administration
of President Grant which called out the popu-
lar demonstration against third term and
widespread distrust of the class and q dread
of the consequences of its system threatens
the Republican party with defeat wherever it

his argument on the Distribution bill two years
ago. Z" that every dollar that was awarded, ex-
&" cent about 100000 that the Government OF
tho United States had right to by reason
"of the destruction of some revenue-cutters

in the bill creating the Court, and now the ma

the Tribunal distinctly declared that Great
Britain was not bound to pay. They propose
first to reimburse the sufferers whose vessels
were DESTROYED by cruisers for whose depre-
dations Great Britain was adudged not to be
responsible. They propose next TO make
good the losses sustained by persons
who paid war-premiums, which are IN
cluded i'm the indirect claims ruled out by the
Arbtrators, and thereafter abandoned by the
United States. If anything should be LETT
after these two classes of claims are satisfied,
they are willing that the insurance companies
should share it pro rata. The minority on the
other hand hold, and az it seems to us with
perfect justice that the only claimants enti-
tied to any portion of this undistributed bal

TIE CRUIAE OF TIE ALERT.

The conspicuous fact in connection with the
failure of the effort to receive our Imperial
Guest, or more properly, as is now pretty well
understood our noble visitor, the Count Bra
CANA, is that he was actually received by the
representatives of the Press instead of the
representatives of the Government. 1t is n-
necessary TO say in this age of Investigations
by order of the Press that this is by no means
the first instance of the Government being
beaten by the Press. AS a matter of enter
prise, the Press only scores one more triumph,
and the Government sulks away un-
der one more defeat. 1t was what
the newspaper folk call " clean beat"
Great care had been taken to prevent
the representatives of the Press from invading
the sacred quarter deck of the Alert, whereon

way. The leaders Of the party cannot learn
this lesson too soon. We are not so sanguine
as to imagine that the day of pure politics
has dawned quite yet, but anybody can see
that there is just now sturdy resistance to
official dictation, and that for this year at all
events the party machine works very badly.

Some weeks ago we briefly reviewed in this
column the work of two or three specially needy
and worthy charitable societies of this city, Ever
since the mail has brought us flood of reports OF all
sorts of societies. not all of which we have noticed
for the reasons that all not specially needy
some were hardly worthy announcement, and some
did not admit of review because of the character OF
their work. OF the latter class. for instance Is the
report of the Society for the Suppression OF vice. an
organization doing q great and practical work, ana
worthy of much moro liberal support than 1t re-
ceives We know something of tho work accom-
plished by its chief agent Anthony Comstock, and
if the Society had seventy thousand instead OF seven
thousand dollars year to spend, and seven such
agents for every in its employ it would still be
without the support it deserves and which 1t needs
to cope successfully with the criminals whom 1t Is
fighting.

Last Fall an appeal for such contributions was made
and generously responded to, but with time many
contributors forgot to continue the little kndnesses,
and need again to be reminded. The Society has
placed at various depots and ferry large boxes
for the receipt of such contributions and these are
daily distributed at Bellevue and other institutions,
but the supply is wholly inadequate to the demand.

1t would have been unreasonable to expect
the Rev. DR.. Leonard Bacon to stand alOof
while his brethren of the Congregational COM
muniOn were waging war over the Andoyer
letter and the Advisory Council. He comes to
the front to-day in reply to Prof. Egbert T..
Smyth's recent letter. He does not write at
unreasonable length, his letter bristles with
points, and in some passages his words fairly
crackle with dryness. He holds that, accord
ing to Prof Smyth's Interpretation of the An
dover plan, Mutual Council could not con-
slider the question of Mr.. Beecher's guilt or
innocence, ard that the most it could do
would be to propose that MIR. Beecher be
brought to trial on a formal complaint
with responsible prosecutor. In word
Mataal Council would end just where
the Advisory Council began. The plea that
there are witnesses who will testify before q
Mutual Council but not before the Commits
sion he dismisses with the scOrn which it merits
and contends that the plan of investigation
suggested by the Advisory Council was ten
fold better than Prof Smytli's helter-skeltcr
investigation, without charges to be tried,
with no complainant, and with no respond
cent" He frankly admits that the Commits
sion will never be constituted, but he saddles
the responsibility upon those who, as he says,
have misunderstood and misrcpresentcd it.
We are afraid that there were few drops OF
gall in DR.. BacOn's ink-horn.

thinks so still. 1t is not strange that when

retort. With the appraised hands it was very
dramatic and effective; yes and very foolish.
