HELPING TILE PRESIDENT.

Now that the agony is over and the country
has taken time to breathe, there is one SEN
tence of the Presidents Inaugural which
deserves not to become a dead letter, as with
all other utterances which have served their
turn, but to be kept as watchword by every
honest man, he he Democrat or Republican
1t is that in which he calls on the country for
help to save itself. Whatever may be our IN
diyidual opinion of President Hayes's policy,
whatever may be finally the success or fall
ure of that policy, one thing is certain: he
will never bring back peace and justice to the
country if he has to work alone. The defect
in our social system is the Sinking, by the
majority of individual responsibility. We are
in fact an honest people: the average Ameri-
can lives quietly with the wife of his youth,
takes no brides, Obeys the law, fears
God Yet in the eyes OF other nations
he is just now blatant, corrupt bull
dozer a prominent actor in a divorce suit
or returning board. This is simply because
the public business of the country is left to
minority. The man who is ready for brlbes
pushes himself to the front, while the honest
citizen sits by his hearth swearing that the
country is going to ruin, grumblng at the mis-
management of his own and the opposing
party. He has to grOpe about every four years
TO find the principles of his party yet he do
clely pnts his neck into its yoke, votes accord
ing to the dictates of its leaders, putting cor
r,lpt men into little town offices and turning
honest mon out, refusing to use his own
sbrevd common sense when it conflicts with
the ruling of the demagOgucs whom he serves.
For five years the great mass of just and edu-
Gated Northerners have been willing-nay,
anxious-for a hearty reconciliation with the
South. The desire for peace among the South
erners, at least among the Older, more rational
men. has been just as sincere, but the mob OF
Office holders and politicians have stood be-
tween and blinded both.
In short, the reader of THE TRIBUNE to-
day, be he in Massachusetts or Georgia, an
obscure country farmer or n lad with his first
vote, has no right to complain of the deplor-
able condition of the country and then shove
its redemption off on the shoulders OF the
President or any other man. Every effort he
makes at just, economical management OF his
household lessons the weight of financial pres
sire SO much; every honest, Outsp0ken word
IN favor of more liberal party action lightens
the load which the honest leaders must lift
every friendly meeting between individuals
of the South and North hastens the completed
Union; every child reared by Christian
mother to be truth-telling and honest is so
much golden capital for the next generation.
1t bas been owing to individual economy all
over the country that the nation has been
saved from bankruptcy; individual honor and
action can save her now from worse disaster.

LIFE ON THE BOARDS And OFF

The death of Mrs. Matilda Heron, which we an
nounced yesterday, suggests word OF good
advice to those who propose to adopt or have
lust adopted the dramatic profession. There
is something IN Mrs. Heron's career which re-
minds us of the glory of Edmund Kean, so
ropidly won. and of the darkness and dreari-
ness of his last days with his name, perhaps,
we might probably couple that Of George
Frederick Cooke Both these actors, in the
hcy-day of their popularity, were richly paid,
and both died comparatively poor. Mrs. Heron
had great success to begin with, and made a
great deal of money by playing the single
character to which alone she owes
her reputation. She must have re-
ceiyed several hundred thousand dollars
for acting Camille" :" she died dependent
upon the small sum which her young daughter
earned at the theater. This, with ordinary
prudence might have been avoided; indeed,
Mrs. Heron might have been wealthy if she
had not been one of the most extravagant OF
women. Even at the hight of her one success,
when managers We're paying her great sums,
her agent with some difficulty kept her sup
piled with cash. She liked expensive ways.
ShGlived luxlriously, and dressed and decorated
herself without regard to cost. Then she was
unhappy and unfortunate in her domestic rela-
tons, leaving one husband and being abandoned
by another. When her money was all gone,
she found that her popularity was gone also.
The old tastes remained, but the power of
gratifying them she had lost. Her health
failed her; her friends died. or they grew
weary of helping her; and when, at COM
paratively early age, she died, all the splendor
and grace and glory of her life had long before
departed.
We should not have referred TO these facts

thing entirely different from the wild course
of Gen. Grant. If he has affrOnted q certain
part of the Senate it is only by choosing
Cabinet so exceptionally good that the man
aging politicians are afraid it will not be prac-
teal There are certainly one or two men in
the list whose qualifications for some OF their
duties have yet to be demonstrated, out III tlie
great essentials of character and ability they
are all unassaabe by criticism 1t is Cabi-
net which the rank and file OF the Republican
party praises with enthusiasm and the OppoSi-
ton regards with respect. MIR. Hayes mas Deeh
too long in political life to imagine that gov
crnment is possible in this country except by
the machinery of party, and in disregardihg
the expectations of prominent men VINO nave
been accustomed to control the influence OF
Republican administrations he throws hlmseit
upon the support of that strong moral sense
of the country in which really lies the force
of the Republican organization. This is po-
litical factor which Gen. Grant always ignored.
There il a great difference also in the policy
of the two Presidents toward the South. Gen.
Grant had his Longstreet and MOSby, just as
Mr.. Hayes has his Senator Key; but because
one failed to cOncilate the white population OF
that the other will fail also. The appoint
ment of few Southern generals To Office un-
der the last Administration was not attended
by any change of policy in dealing with South
ern affairs. The outrage campaigns went on
al the same, Legislatures were dispersed by the
bayOnet, Governors were upheld by force. IL
was inevitable that under such rule the South
ern white population should become more ana
more embittered, and the old Coniederates
who took Office under the cOnqueror should
be treated as renegades. But the essence OF
Mr.. Hayess policy, so far as we know lt-for
it may not be amiss to remember that as yet
it has not been explained by authority-is to
stop the abuses of which the South complains,
not to make vain attempt to reconcile the
South to abuses by the pucrile device OF toss
ing few paltry Offices to Southern men.

4 COMPARISON THAT UOE& NOT HOLD.
President Hayes is probably not to be
frightened by tlie awful example of President
Grant. When he is reminded that Grant tried
to make Cabinet without regard to the de-
mands of the Senators, and to fill the subor-
dnate Offices without consideration for the
party services of the appointees and failed in
both undertakings, he may answer that the
cases are not at all similar Gen. Grant began
his political life with the idea that in distIib-
uting places he had nobody to please but
himself. He chose for his first advisers men
who were not only obnoxious to the most inilu-
ential politicians OF that day, but destitute of any
qualities to compensate for their lack of party
strength Some of them were entirely un-
known to the people. None of them were
popular, and only one or two had any sort Of
fitness for the posts to which they were ap-
pointed. Gen. Grant labored under two hal
ucnations; lie supposed that the Presidency
with all its patronage had been given to him
as a reward for his victories, like the houses
presented to him by grateful citizens in Wash
ington and Philadelphia, and it was nObodys
concern what he did with any of the gifts !;
and he supposed that he was strong enough to
govern the country alone in spite of the hostility
of all the factions and with no positive assu-
rance of active support from the people. These
were the blunders that brought him at once
into trouble. In the end he surrendered to
the politicians, and though he now and then
broke away from them, when his heart was
set upon some peculiarly bad personal appoint
ment the rest of his Administration was con-
trolled by the worst of partisan influences

For some unexplained reason the French
Pretenders are displaying unwOnted activity.
The Count dc Chambord recently declared that
he had not relinquished the hope of Saving "

when a fair opportunity arises. Prince LorIs
Napoleon, who might better keep to his school
books, is also about to remind the French that
they need salvation, and that they can Obtain
it only under Imperial sway. Being now III

disregard these fruitless demonstrations.

Mr.. Ecclesine, by the grace of Tammany
Hall an AsSemblynan from this city, seems TO
be an inveterate demagOgue-not demagOgue
by accident or for day, but from deliberate
choice and for the whole period during which
his services may be inflicted upon this city.
Yesterday he played the role of the poor mans
friend again, moved to amend a bill rcgulat-
Ing the financial administration of this city by
providing that public work shall be done, not
by contract, but by days work, and talked the
usual swaggcr about poor men and contractors
that has come to be characteristic of men of
this class. In this cOngena occupation, Mr..
Peter Mitchell joined him. The combination
of two such men in such a business is a
forcibe reminder of the fact that we need
nome rule for our protection not so much from
country members as from our Own. If the
Constitutional amendments of the Charter
Commission are once ratified by the Legisla-
tnre and people, nuisances of this description,
if not wholly abatcd, will at least be less oilen-
siVe.

The furry of alarm about President Hayess
Cabinet promises to he found needless. There
seems no probability of ellectual resist
ance to any of the appointments. The Pres-
dent Will have an opportunity to begin
the work of reform with the Cabinet of
his choice, and if any members of the Cabinet
should prove unequal to the responsibilities he
has devoyed upon them, the misfortune will
be his.
The action Of the Union League Club was
well enough and in the natural order. That
of the business men who met in Wall-st. was
a little out of the natural order, and the
pressing necessity for it is not apparent /;
