militarism is rampant throughout Europe, save
in the little island which breads to have lts

the great States cost two, three, or even four
times rs much as the actual requirements OF

more fondncss than another man for the coer-
Give policy toward the South. But the rela-
tions between leaders of that faction and Cen
eral Malone are not now embarrassed by any
such idea. In word, there is no question at
issue between the Republican and Democratic
parties about which the sO-called Stalwarts
are united or have more unity or more earnest
ness than the majority of Republicans. If 3O6
individuals are going to take their brass
medals cut into the open air, on what ground or
pretext is the thing to be doneR
The Stalwart Is believer in the indefcasible
right of a Boss to be Boss, it is true. On that
broad platform all wearers of brazen adorn-
mcnts can stand. But that matter can never
become an issue more directly or sharply than
it was at Chicago. The Convention decided, as
il would again, that delegates ought to bc sent
by and to represent the people, and not the
Bosses There was IN opportunity none
better can ever arise. But tie Stalwarts pre-
ferred to remain in the Republican party, even
though Bosses were not allowed to manutac-
turc conventions to please themselves. Is 1t

no other reason and with infinitely less occa-
sion, to separate themselves from the Republl-
can votcrS7 The fact Is that Boss would
have hard time of 1t without any voters TO be
boss over. A party composed of 800 actual or
possible Bosses, with the voters on the other
side, would be lonely.

to a party, whether it wants them or not. are
those who care for nothing but the spoils.
There are several persons of whom the Repub
lican party would like to get rid, whose utter
indecency and shamelessness in running after
place, and holding out tho hat for gifts, and
hunting for chances to steal, are both offensive
and damaging to the party. But they are not
more likely to 90 ont, though many prayers may
be offered for their departure than the towns
paupers are to secede from the town. And the
tie that binds these people to the party is pre-
cisely the tie that binds all Stalwarts to each
other-a strong desire to get something. Still,
shrewd men never form Larty composed eX-
clusively of people who desire to get some

THE FUTURE OF TIE PARTY.

It is the hope of many Democrats, and the
fear of few Republicans, that the Republican
party is going to pieces. In the strife OF
leaders, it is imagined, the party is to be so in
volved that it can never be brought to support
any candidate in 1854. There must be two
wings, two conventions, or q bolt, and certainty
of defeat, it is supposed This notion has be-
come so prevalent among Democrats that, with
the transparent cunning which is the acme of
stupidity, they take pains to show great deal
of sympathy for some Republicans, and try
their little best to foster such dsCOrds as do
exist between Republican leaders. Their time
and pains are wasted. The engineer who tried
to make faster time by sitting on the safety
valve was not person of great wisdom. II
the Republican party ever should go to pieces,
the explosion would blow the Democratic
organization into fragments too small TO be
picked up and too numerous to be counted.
The immediate question, however, is whether
there is any particular reason to expect Re-
publican explosion. The same predictions
have been heard from Democratic lips an hun
dred times before. The only practical out
come, thus far, has always been another Demo
cratic defeat.
W hat is the Republican party to divide
aboutY There must be some difference of
principle, or at least some pretence of differ
ence. Or what ground, then. can the so-called
Stalwart minority that was beaten at Chicago
before President Garfield was yilfed and mur-
dered, separate itself from the majority that
honors the memory and loves the ideas Of the
dead Presidcnt7 If it is to 60 it must have
something to give as a reason for going. When
General Garfield was nominated, it could find
no reason, and did not dare to march out with
brass medal as its orifamme. Has 1t better
reason to-day, or a finer prospect III view
Nobody has ever suspected the Stalwarts of
peculiar devotion to any financial idea or prin-
CHILE. Some of them have been thorough

IRISH PA7RIOTISM AND MONEY.

II il impossible not to admire the devotion of
the Irish in America to their cOuntrymcn
in Ireland. They demonstrate it i'll the most
sincere of all ways-by liberal contributions
from their not overlooking pockets. Tho
Treasurer of the National Land League Fund
announces that he has received and trans
mitted to Mr.. Patrick Eagan, in Paris since
January IS, 1881, $2O1 ,233 50. The amount
sent through The Irish World, which represents
the other branch of the League organization,
during the same period, is S259,7jj 20. Here
we have total of nearly half million dollars
sent from this country to Ireland within little
more than ii year We say sent to Ireland, but
the fact is that il is sent to Mr. Eagan, the Treas
urer Of the League, at Paris, and what be-
comes of it after that few persons are permitted
to know. No account of its distribution Is rem
dercd, the only statement ever made by him
being that the bulk of it is invested in first
class American railway securities. The income
from the investment is devoted primarily to
the support of professional agtators Ill Ireland
and elsewhere. How far the sufferers from
that agitation are benefited by it no one
knows. In addition to the sums mentioned, it
is claimed that Messrs. OConnOr and lIcaly
and Father Shcchy raised $50, 900 during their
recent lecture tours throughout this country.
We have no doubt this is an exaggerated state
ment, but doubtless half that amount was col
cctcd. Mr.. Eagan says in a letter to the
President of the National League that he re-
ccived over 100000 from America i'll the
month between January and February 7.
These are large figures, and it is not sur
prising that the Catholic Church in America
finds its charitable work almost at n standstill
through lack of contributions. Love CT country
has proved more powerful than love of Church.
The appeals of professional agltatOrs, made III
the name of patriotism, are more moving than
the exhOrtatons of the priests. We believe
that this is a mistake and that the end will not
be an improvement in the condition of the
people Of Ireland, but the facts exist neverthe
less. The son of Ireland is not always wise,
and his efforts to secure freedom for his native
land are seldom such as to promote that end,
vet of the depth and fervor of his love for her
there can be no question. How long the pres.
ent rate of contribution can be continued, re-
mains to be seen. Large as the amounts are
they would be scarcely more than drop III the
bucket toward the support OF the Irish tenants
were there to be general refusal TO pay rents
in Ireland as the agitatOrs demand. What is
to be done with the money III case the Land
Act proves to be acceptable to the majority of
the tenants and agitation fails of its end, no
one pretends to say. The contributions are
made blindly, and rs the contributors seem to
have unbounded faith in the receivers of the
funds, there is no especial reason why other
people should worry about the matter.

end is the reimbursement Of that selfsacrcing dis
ciple of art, Colonel MaplesoD. after he has passed
through an unprosperOus season In tho unapprecia-
tive city of New-York
II is Colonel Mapleson's custom to descend upon
NewYor every autumn with little poorer operate
company than he had tho year before, but with the
deficiency in artists moro than counterbalanced by
the increase in the brliancy Of his promises. The
result OF this kind Of management has been to leave
him at the end of his season with not over
plethoric pocketbOok. He goes thence to other
cities-succeeds moderately well in some and fails
in Others, but when he reaches Cincinnati all goes
well. He gives precisely the Same performances
there he has given elsewhere, but he gives them
under the auspices Of the College Of Music
and calls them Opera Festival. The result is that
the whole population of Cincinnati attends and
swells with cOmpacency over the assurance OF the
College Of Music that Cincinnati is blest with
musical feast such as is permitted other city In
the country TO enjoy. Everybody is made happy by
the manGuvre. Colonel Mapleson comes away with
money enough to carry him through second poor
season in New York and the College of Music makes
money enough to keep it running and advertise its
president for another year. AS for the Of art

press the cause of art does not have so much to do

people that they cannot eclipse any existing in
