Singing Small.

When the South Carolina Legislature
had completed its gerrymander for Con-
gressional elections, there was q grand
Wagnerian concert of criticism from the
Northern Republican press; but we mo-
tice that the chorus now sings small,
and the enthusiasm has evidently abated.
1t is not the custom of our Republican
contemporaries to let good thing drop
when once they get it in working order,
and there must be some exceptional rea-
son in the present instance The rea-
son is fully apparent in the revelation
that has been made to the critics. that
the Notifications from which they hurled
their moral projectiles were made of
glass, and such exceedingly thin and
brittle glass that they have heard at
frequent intervals lately the fearful
sound of shattered crystal The Charles
ton NeDs and Courier has gone into the
map business, and it is publishing an
illustrated serial upon the subject of
Republican gerrymandering, that is
very interesting and instructive. Its
latest is map of the Senatorial districts
of Connecticut, arranged in such way,
that while the State is Democratic ON
popular vote, the Republicans feel rea,
sonably sure of getting over two-thirds
of the Senate. We have seen that map
before in one or two Democratic papers
of Connecticut, but we have never seen it
in the Boston Advertiser. though placed
side by side with the South Carolina won
der, it would take the medal every time.
The Charleston paper does not claim that
all this justifies gerrymandering in the
South, but says: "Our purpose in dis
playing the gerrymandering feats of the
Republicans is to remind those worthless
that they themselves are stepped to the
lips in political sin, and that they are
the last persons on earth who should
cast stone at the white people Of South
Carolina. We mean that the public
here and everywhere else shall know
that the Republicans have. for years.
gone far beyond the poor efforts of the
South Carolina Democrats in the matter
of gerrymandering. II this has the
effect of disgusting the people with such
practices in the North as well as in the
South, we shall be satisfied, and one of
the objects of the honest and we'll
meaning gerrymander in South Carolina
will have been handsomely accom-
plished.' An "honest gerrymaudcr"
may sound little paradoxical, and 30
far as We are concerned, it seems .
rather irreconcilable idea. But the
NesOs and Courier has made an honest
presentation of the evil in its broader
relations, and we unite our hope with
that which it expresses, that the North
as well ~ South may come to see the

The Actors, Colony.

Near the southwestern border of Long
Branch, full mile from the ocean. IS
one of the most interesting cluster Of
cottages in the country. This settle
ment is what is known as the Actors
Colony, and here live some Of the most
noted actors and actresses of our times.
Mary Anderson rejoices in the possession
of country seat composed Of neat
villa and about eight acres of land. Then
above her villa short distance is the
pretty little cottage at which Frank
Chanfrau and Henrietta t Chanfrau
spend the summer months. Mr.. Chan
frau is well-known to the play going
public as Kit, the Arkansas Traveller.
Just little below Chanfrau's is the
summer residence of William Hender-
son, manager Of the Standard Theater.
New York. On out the quiet country
road, a little way is the modest cottage
of Mrs. Edwin T. Adams. Mr.. Adams
is dead now, but his name still fingers
in the memory of our play going people.
But short distance beyond Mrs.
Adams is the residence of Mrs. H. T.
Paddock, better known to Americans as
Maggie Mitchell. Maggie and her hus-
band are quite well-to-do, having one
piece of property down near the shore
which is valued at 800, 900, while their
property, back inland is valued at eight
or ten times as much. In this vicinity
also live many other noted theatrical
personages, such as Oliver Doud Byron,
Mrs. Lester Wallack and John T. Ray

So that no less than seven editions OF
the chest of drawers were sold before
the season was over. They became the
fashion. Every person who bought one
had vague hope of having something a
little different from his neighbors. And
some of them have never vet ceased
looking for hidden treasures, old papers
or outlawed wills among the pigeon
holes and compartments.
And when the season ended and the
city boarders went back to their brick

he gave him advice as to the compost

no doubt, presumptuous on the part of
Dorsey to assume the Office Of Presi-
Dental adviser, yet if q copy has been
kept of all the letters which Mr.. Gar
field received from the time of his cleo
ton in November until his Inaugural
ton in the March following, no doubt
hundreds of similar epistles from other
Republicans than Dorsey can be found.
Republicans of all breeds and all de-
scriptions volunteered advice, made
suggestions and warned the President
elect against this or that ''snake in the
grass. Most of them had far less
claim to have their views considered by
the President than Dorsey had. The
latter stood in with Brady and the Star
Route crowd. He was an efficient col
lector and an equally efficient distribu-
tor of money where it would do the
Republican party and Garfield the most
good. He visited Indiana in the interest
Of the s'grand old party" and did not
go there empty handed. His services
were recognized by banquet in New
York City, at which Vice-President Ar
thur made 1.-THE greatest effort of his
life," and alluded in terms of pleasantly
to the purchase of State election. Dor
sey was one Of the leading instruments
in the election of Garfield. and as such
he felt that lie was entitled to be heard.
Among the men who assumed the Of
fee of Presidential adviser with more
impotence than was displayed by Dor
sey, was Whitelaw Reid, of the New
York Tribune, who constituted himself
. midnight adviser by telegraph of the
! Administration. It is something of 9
coincidence that as Dorsey was tired
of this blathcring TALK about James to
go into the Cabinet from New York, SO
Reid cautioned his correspondent to
"beware OF James soft. insinuating
way" Each, from different motives
dreaded James, and each wanted to be
a Presidential adviser.
The truth is that the spoils system has
developed All impudencc on the part Of
prominent Republicans which would be
simply astounding were it not so com
mon. They regard the Offices in the
gift of the Presidency much as if a por-
ton of them were their own property.
and take liberties with President-elect
which would be regarded as downright
insolence If the unfortunate Chief Mag
istrate did not feel that he was under
obligations to them and disliked to Of
fend them. Dorsey is properly con-
demned for the '.gall'' which he exhib-
tied; but, as we have said, he did moi
do any more than hosts of Republicans
who now sat themselves up as . great
deal better han he. 1t is pure affec-
ton on the part Of the Republican press
to assume that the Dorsey letter is q
unique Republican production. If Dor
sey had to hang for it great many 9TH

The two great parties which now ex-
list, the Republican and the Democratic,
represent more or less perfectly the two
great tendencies which have from the
first, with scarcely any interruption,
commended for the mastery ever since
the Republic was formed. The Repub-
licans have become the legitimate heirs
of the early Federalists. It is true that
they do not entertain all the tenets Of
that party, and do not revive the meas
ures and the conflicts which in their day
the Federalists set ON foot; but they
stand for the Federalist purpose of q
strong central Government. aiming
steadily to absorb or belittle the local or
State Governments. They stand for
vast expenditures, for magniiccnce in
the National Administration, for pomp
and glory, as displayed in an immense
array of ofice-holders witha costly and
infinitely ramiied system of political
administrative functions. and for all
sorts of so-called public improvements
at the expense of the National Treasury;
and they stand for taxing the people
roundIy to maintain this immense Fed
eral establishment and this system of
superb OUTLAWS. Perhaps the most ex-
treme manifestation of this prevailing
direction Of the Republican party was
the attempt to make General Grant
President for the third time. with all
that it implied.
On tho other hand. the Democrats
still represent that doctrine Of strict con-
structi0n of the Constitution, of local
self-government, of the restriction OF
the central power, of the reduction Of
the number Of Federal Office holders, of
the most limited interference Of the
National authority, of economy, SIM
plicity, and purity in the conduct Of
public affairs; or, as President Lincoln
expressed it, of government of the peo-
pie. by the people, and for the people,
with which the Democracy of jefferson
and Madison originally came into being.
OF course in tbs long period, and
through the mighty vicissitndes that
have been brought upon the Republic.
the Democracy OF the present day is in
various respects inferior to the Democ-
racy Of which Thomas Jefferson was the
most distinguished advocate. Things
have changed. The civil war has passed
its red-hot plow-shares over the minds
and the characters Of the people. The
enormous expenditures of the Federal
Administration, the endless array of
salaried Office holders, the loose prac-
tices and the usurping purposes Of the
party in power. have done much TO cor
