l-g' The quid nuncs arc making the
most of the informal meeting of Rcpub-
lican representatives at Secretary Sher-
mans, the other evening, and prophcsy-
ing all manner of evil in the relations OF
the party leaders TO the president. II
did disclose differences of opinion as to
the wisdom of the presidents policy,
and that was foregonc conclusion. II
could not be expected that all would
think alike upon these subjects. In fact
it was well known that there were and
are wide differences of opinion in the
party as to these and many other sub
iccts of public policy. The Republican
party is not a simple machine to be di
rccted by single mind, like the Dem
ocratic party. 1t is composed of think.
ing men. They are in the habit of form
ing their own opinions and exercising ;
personal as well as party judgment. u
is hoped, however, that they are sensi
bic and patriotic enough, and have suf
ficient respect for each others judgment
to work together and tremendously fol
the important ends upon whose desira
bility they do agree. Suppose ii to be
as the New York Times says, 'that tho
party is divided in regard to .hc presi
dents policy and that the predominatine
sentiment is overwhelmingly against it,
Suppose it to be true that "the policy
has not commended itself to the iudg
mcnt of the party, and that nothing bu
mischief could follow an attempt to cx
act from the party specific expressions
of approval" But if il is so, There
ought to be no reason for alarm or ap
prehension Of difficulty in the party
Whatever we may think of the adoption
of the policy, il must now be conceded
that il is wholly irrevcrsiblc. so far az
regards his dealing with the Southern
state governments, and partially so, al
least, in respect to civil service reform
But we apprchcnd that this way of put
ting il is not quite right. While tho
members of the Republican party dc
not quite approve the policy, they arc
generally acquicsccnl. They felt that
the president scarcely had an alicrna-
tive, that he was compelled TO take
the positions he has taken. and they arc
willing the experiment should be
wrought ont 10 legitimate results
scarcely expecting, YET hoping for sue
ccssinl issue. Suppose the Democratic
majority III the House do prccipiialc
upon the Republican minority the ne
ccssity of expressing approval or dsap-
proval of the prcsidcnl'r policy, is il NOT
the plain duty Of every member to hon
esily express his real judgment without
shutllng or sinking? Most certainly
il is, and il is also in accordance Will,
Republican theories, and no possible cX-
preston of disagreement can do more
than increase the notoricty of il. So
much if we are considering the bearing
upon party interests. But party inter
csts should be considered of only sec
ondary importance. Right first, the
good of the country next, and the well
fare of party only as that has bearing
upon national interests, should be our
motto and principle of action AT ali
times.

rT@ Within the week the reports of
two colliery explosions, with fearful
loss of life in each case, in the one
nearly four hundred persons, remind lis
anew of the hazards of the business OF
suggest the recklcssncss of those engag-
ed in it. In one of the Scotch collier
les near Glasgow, last Saturday, about
four hundred men were at work, when
suddenly and without warning there
was Il terrible tirc-damp explosion, and
on account of the deleterious gases they
had not been able to reach the bottom
of the shaft where these men were shut
up. The other explosion, in western
Pennsylvania, was a comparatively small
affair, but several men were killed. II
seems impossible that the appliances OF
modern discovery and science should
not provide means for guarding against
these terrible disasters. The careless
ness of the men must be the cause. II
no security is to be found the matter is
serious one, certainly.
