The prospect is now good for an unusually

it will yet be converted. The Democratic leaders
are muzzed. They hold their peace because of the
promise that good store awaits the future And vet
the days roll into weeks, and the procrastinating
policy becomes more exasperating. If there is not
change soon, the volcano of discomfort will belch
forth in such way as to leave the Louisiana Sem
ator's opening gun only faint echo. 1t will not
take many more weeks to force the President to
take stand either for against bis political party
The middle ground he stands on will disappear un-
der his feet Another month Of IL will
break the cancels back. The representatives of
sovereign States will not forever stand at the outer
gates pleading as suppicants. Behind them await
constituencies of Democrats who have not done
battle for quarter of century to elevate few
men. Their claims for party reward must either be
recognized or repudiated. These will force things
to an issue. II the President intends to fortiy his
administration with Democratic executors of the
trust handed him by the people, he will put behind
him wall of power. If he desires to feed these
men on idle promises and delusve hopes, he must
not expect their continued support.
Undoubtedly the Epquirer's correspondent
tells the literal truth. The furnishing De-
mocracy would long ago have made publicly
the complaints they have all along been
making privately, except for the hope that
the President would eventually aecede to
their wishes in regard TO the offices. When
they have been on the eve of an explosion
the administration has suppressed them by
such appointments as those of Pillsbury and
Chase which have encouraged them to be-
lieve that good time was coming and that
it was not very far off. But the game of
conciliating both the Mugwumps and the
Bourbons has been about played out, and
the time is not far distant when the admin
istraton will be compelled to choose between
them. When that time arrives we shall see
some very vigorous English in either the
Mugwump or Bourbon press.

After the ostentstious display at Rawal-
Pindi, which was gotten up largely, no
doubt, to impress the people of India and
Afghanistan with the belief that England
stood ready to enforce her demands on
Russia at the point Of the bayonet, settle
ment of the question by peaceful arbitration,
especially If the verdict of the arbitrator be
against England, can hardly fail to be con-
strued by both peoples as back-down on
the part Of the Briton. England's dominion
in the East is maintained largely by pres
tige, weakening Of which such as would
inevitably result If the people of India came
to believe that, to use Lord ChurchilPs Ian
guage, England had been guilty of "base,
cowardly surrender" might work incalcula-
BILE injury in the future. The opposition to
Mr.. Gladstone's scheme of settlement are
using the result which it will be likely to
produce in India with good deal of effect.

In the course Of q rebuke to the Bangor

of speaking "directly against the whole

says good Catholics hold that the Pope's

The Boston Herald reports that it is in
formed that Judge Cleaves while in Wash
ington made arrangements by which
he is to have the collectorship and
Bion Bradbury the surveyorship. The
Portland Argus the other day when the

1t is one of the striking peculiarites of the
present condition of politics in this country
that the Administration is winning all the
favor it receives, not by inaugurating new
principles and new policies, but by conform

by indirectly vindicating the doctrines and
methods of the party which was deprived of
power to give it an opportunity to bless the
nation with an era of reform and general
change for the better.

islands; but the young ones, so supple as
to bend before the hurricanes, are the
ideal of grace and loveliness. The long
spreading leaves of vivid green bend
