not be compelled to go to private

U.pieasaat Assumptions,

Having never dissembled the in
tensity of our Democracy, it is not
easy for US to express the supreme
disgust we feel at the present as
pect of matters political in this
State. Though the HERALD is a
party organ, we desire to see the
Democracy of California achieve
no higher measure of success than
Its public and official performances
shall entitle it to. The present ses-
sion of the Legislature began with
the party in absolute control of
every department of the State gov
ernnent. The people expected of
the Democracy thorough cham.
pionship of their interests. They
expected the Democratic Legisla-
ture, If not to antagoDize corpora
tions and aggregated capital, al
least to be absolutely Independent
of all influences of this kind, and to
bear the fact in mind that the
lightest privilege of the masses
should outweigh the most loudly
vaunted pretensions Of the moneyed
class. 1t Is too early to say just how
far the present Legislature has
fallen short of these natural expec-
tatIons. The national Democracy
occupy splendid vantage ground,
and the party will elect its Presl-
dent, with or without the aid of
California. utthe unpleasant at
titude of our State politics cannot
be better shown than by such out
givings as the following, which we

Of the English Premier the explanation of
the secret negotiations with RUSSIA and the
stealthy acquisition OF Cyprus. The
points of the final treaty are written in the
sketches OF Beaconsfield and Salisbury, of
Gortschakoff, Ignatieff and Schouvalof. of
Bismarck, of Corti and OF the English
Frenchman Waddington. We can almost
imagine that if this picture had been dis
played before our eyes previous to the
meeting of the Congress it would
the end would be. Russia, with her
extreme demands, insisted on by the
great Prince with the bad legs, but secretly
well satisfied with the terms accepted by
her junior diplomatist; England creeping
on with the object of making something out
of the transaction if possible, and at least
of averting transparent humiliation; Aus
tria uneasy and jealous, but finding pru-
dence a necessity; Italy angry, but bound
to keep the peace, and France indifferent.
As we turn to the darker side Of our cor

King at his palace window, crippled and
helpless from the wounds inflicted by an
assassin, and hear the rtifnblings Of We

dangers which threaten Europe besides
those of war between ambitious nations for
extended powers, and that the work of the
great Congress, although framed by master
hands, may, at almost any moment, be
dashed to pieces by the blow of anarchy.

where tn. Good Men Are.

General Butler is reported to have said
that all the good men of the land are in the
new national" party. DEPRESSING only to
remark that this is why the said party is so
nearly invisible we felicitate the country
upon knowing at last where her good men
are. They have been SO securely hidden of
late that when one of them accidentally APP
peared, somebody or Gail Hamilton was sure
to mistake him for a monster of iniquity
and begin to throw ink bottles at him. To
learn the names of the members of this
party, goodness being the test, It is easier
to proceed by inversion, and first ascertain
who is not there. For instance, Senator
Conkling knows that neither President
Hayes, Ex-Governor Fenton, Collector Mer-
rift nor Naval Officer Burt arc within o mill
ion miles of it, and the President knows
equally we'll that neither telescope, micro
scope nor spectroscope can detect trace
of Conkling there. Tho infirtionists know
that Secretary Sherman is on the road to
somewhere else, and Mr. Blaine is sure that
no other man who wants the Presidency
dates his letters from the gathering place Of
the virtuous. Coming down to ordinary
democrats and republicans, and still using
goodness rs the test, each man knows that
no moinber of the party opposed TO his own
can DO among the good men. But here a
little difficulty presents itself II neither
republicans nor democrats are there, who

too modest to definitely assert his own
worth and whereabouts, took this delicate,

that he himself is in the national" party,
but that he constitutes oil there is Of it?
