TIE PHILOSOPHY OF.sCOLDIYG.

We believe it is not pretended, by the most
eanglline Of rcfcImcrs, that the Republican
party is just now in very satisfactory posi-
ton. or that President Hayes in spite OF his
high purposes and amiable intentions, has sue
cceded in directing the strength of his adj
uiu;stration TO the work which is most i'm
portant for the country in the present crisis.
With proper management, by the proper use
of influences which rightly belong to the
Chief ExecutIve-and not by the prostitution
of patronage-it seems to Us that the RcQublI-
cans in Congress could have been rallied to
the defence of the National credit and the
nrotection of our commercial and industrial
interests. We are not certain that ii is even
vet too late to bring back the de-
moralizcd party to its ancient faith ard
strength But 10 serious effort To that end has
been made by the man to whom tIc party
looks rs its leader He has packed the SEN
ate and the Cabinet with adversaricS Of his
own financial creed aud lie has innOccnuy
given announcement to the party lie desired
70 defeat. Meanwhile be has lost all his
friends and he has not accomplished the re-
forms upon which he set his heart. Every
body respects bin. Everybody who has per-
SDildi Intercourse Win MN iihNo HiiH' A''b AZ
Is inpossiblc not to see that the first year of
his administration has been Il sad failure, and
that the second year opens with dark pros
poets.
Some friends who have acted with us on
many public questions, who sincerely desire
the unity and honor of the party ard the
preservation of the National credit, and a
rational course Of reiolm. Just as We do, and
who. moreover, see the facts of the situation
lust as we do, are Gisplcascd because we
blame the President fOr this state of things
rather than certain Senator's and Representa-
iives who have formed themselves mo Re
publican opposition. TO this it might prop
erly be answered that the President is
the head Of the party; that the leader
ship belongs to him, and not to Mr.
This or Senator That; that the business of Il
leader is not to scatter, but TO lead; and that
Mr.. HAYES, knowing whep he came into office
what needed to be done, what sort of material
he had 10 work with, and how utterly power
less a President is without party behind him
in Congress, ought to have shaped his conduct
accordingly. A general who rushes into action
without taking his army along too, may be n
very gallant fellow but he is not good COM
mander. This is an answer which might fairly
be returned to the complaint some of our
friends make of us. But there is another.
We do not find fault for the pleasure of
fault finding, nor do we believe that a news
paper serves the cause to which it is attached
by reckless and tireless censure of the er-
rors of its political friends when no practical
good is to be accomplished by the scOlding

By this means nobody was excluded, nobody

One third of III, money obtained was devoted
to relieving immediate and urgent eases OF
