THE DANGER AHEAD.

1t is no idle suggestion that the coun.
try Is at this moment in serious danger
from the violence, unscrupulousness,
and meditated infatny of its politicians.
Ana unless tho men who claim to bo
the statesmen OF the Republican party
lnterpose their voice for moderation, and
show some sense and wisdom, instead
OF permitting themselves to be dragged
along by the rushing and short-sighted
crowd ofpartisans, no man eau tell how
the present criminal enterprises may
end.
Holding the executive power In their
hands, 1t Is competent for tho violent
leaders of the Republican party to at
tempt to enforce, at the first, almost any
coerciere and repressive measures
through the means Of the army. But
this settles nothing. On the contrary.
IL unscttfeS everything. =
1t is n totally new experience in this
country that our ordinary elections are
to be decided by the sword. 1t is u
shame to the Republican managers of
the country, now sitting In their seats
OF power ut Washington, that they
have not, before this, indignantly re-
buked the suggestion, more especially
when coming from the mouth of the
President. We warn them that they
are making history and forming prece-
dents in this direction althogether too
fast. 4sl..
Mr.. Conkling's reputed suggestion
that if things arc allowed to 20 on in
their present way II little while longer,
Senators might be obliged to have their
own tickets punched by II military off,
Ger before being permitted to take their
seats, hits the nail ON the head. He
would have been even nearer the mark
IL had said members Of tho House. II
the tactics put In operation In Louisiana
In 1874, and in South Carolina in 1876,
are right for those States, they arc
| right for Congress-.
If Hayes is inaugurated by fraud ac-
cording to tho present programme, we
see no reason in tho action Of tho pres
cnt administration to forbid the sup
position of the exercise of the military
power ih the s:,nIe way 1t was used In
both those States when tho new Com
gress comes to assemble.
To he sure, the public mind docs not
now admit tho possibility of such iu-
conceivable ettrontry. But Is Is an
old proverb that the descent to hell is
easy. We may ada that people aro
often on the way when they do not sus-
pect it.-N. Y. .sts,s, 2}d.

A question has arisen among whale
men AS to the possible early extermina-
ton of the walrus. Probably not less
than fifty thousand walruses, with their
yonng, were last year killed and des-
trOycd by Onr Arctic whnlemcn. Since
the whale has been driven north, the
walrus has become tho main reIiance
of the natives for their food, clothing,
boots, and dwellings rs he has also be-
come to others the chief object Of COM
mcrcial attention. At the present rate
nc must soon be cxtcrminated, or like
the whale driven almost out of reach.
The question, therefore, is: Shall our
! whalcmcn keep on taking the walrus,
and eventually starve and dcpopulate
these Arctic shores ? TO provide against
the extinction OF the seal, of which
about 100000 were captured last year,
the Legislature Of Newfoundland has
passed IL law forbidding vessels in that
trade to leave port before tho 18th of
March, that being the average date of
the parturition of the seals. The young
ones come to maturity in a marvellous
| Iy brief period. Thus two advantages
are gained; the old seals are not slain
as heretofore, with their young unborn,
and the young ones, unfit to be taken,
arc left for another year.

Tn Mark Twain's new book uTOm
Sawyer" there Is tho following hit ut
ministers, which may not be entirely
without its application in this part OF
tho country. Tom had gone to church,
and after tho hymn had been sung, the
Rev. Mr.. Sprague turned himself into
bulletin board, and read Off "notices"
of meetings and societies and things till
1t seemed that the list would stretch out
to the crack of doom--a queer custom
which is still kept up in America, even
In cities, away here in this age Of news
papers. Often, the less there is to justi-
fy II traditional custom, the harder 1t is
to get rid of 1t. And now the minister
prayed. A good, generous prayer It
was, and went irio details; it pleaded
for the church, aud the little children
of the church; for the other churches Of
the village; for the village itself; for
the country; for the State; for state
officers for tho United States; for the,
churches of tho United States; for Con-
grcss for the PRESIDENT; for the off,
GERS of the Government; for poor SAL
lOrs, tossed by stormy seas; for the
oppressed millions groaning under the
heel of European lnOnarchies and ORR
entail despptisms; for such as have the
light and tho good tidings, and yet
have not the eyes to see nor the cars to
near withnl for tho henthen in tho
far islands of the sea; and closed with
supplicntion that tho words he was
about to speak might find grace and
favor, and be as seed sOWn in fertile
ground, yielding in time greatful
harvest of good. Amen.
