little too much when he hopes" the

are not so low down in filthy partizan
politics as to do that--even to oblige
our esteemed contemporary. We
have it from satisfactory authority
that an effort ,cas made to remodel the
regular democratic ticket and that q
conference was held for that purpose.
No changes were made. however, be-
cause, as we are informed and be.
lieve, certain contingencies were not
complied with.

GREAT BRITAIN has just launched an
other powerful ironclad of near 10000
tons burden. By the way, Congress, just
before adjourning, gave the present Sec.
retary Of the Navy authority TO have SOW
eral new war vessels constructed, aud
numerous Democratic journals have as
sured the country that MIR. Whitney
would do something surprising in the
way of evolving new and original types of
effective naval construction. If he is to
do anything of the sort, is it not about
time that he set about it? He could
serve his country well by devoting part
of his time to this important work, and
still devote few hours each day to nosing
about in his predecessors accounts

IS reforming" the departments by

back u long way for model, finding its
illustrious exemplar in the person of the
man who cut oil his dogs tail at tho rate
Of an inch day in order to spare the an.
imal pain as much as possible. As things

This Is the title Of leading World edi.
torial in which tho editor comes surpris.
ingly near demonstrating that incxperi-
ence in public affairs or statecraft is an
indispensable prerequisite for success in
the presidential Office.
By way Of illustration the writer cites
tho cases Of Lincoln and johnson. The
former "had no national experience. Yot
coming TO the head of the government at
most momentous crisis, how few mis-
takes he made" while the lstter "had en-
joyed tho experience of years in national
matters and his administration was in
hot water all the time"
Taking up the present Cabinet, tho
World goes in TO state that:
when Secretary whitney was appointed we
were told he had mo experience" Yet he
proves to bo so excellent Secretary Of the
Navy that criticism is disarmcd, and even his
political opponents concedo the value OF the
change in that department.
A similar compliment is paid TO Mr..
Manning against whom "the cry was
raised that it would never answer TO put
person so inexperienced In charge of
the financial interests Of the government.
But ho made himself at once familiar
with the duties Of the Office, grssped all
its ramidcations thoroughly, and promises
to be quite Success"
OF the solitary western member Of tho
Cabinet the editor remarks:
Then came Postmaster General Villas lie
! a 1npo1 M N rrnn Wisconsin nri
cnccd" in national affairs. How could be
be expected to manage the Postoilice Depart
mcnt? Yet Mr.. Villas has so far made no mis-
take, and already proved himself vaI6ablC
Cabinet officer. -
Tho other branch of thes subject, the
Importance ofoxperiencef in contrast with
the value of inexperionco, is thus strik-
ingly illustratedy
Secretary Bdyard, on the other hand, had
enjoyed lorgsexperience In public affairs. Hc
had beeH trained by an experienced, able
politician, his father. For fifteen years h,
he'd, by study and practice, made himself
familiar with public questions and public
men, lie was one Of those Democrats 10y
whose experience" the inexperienced
Presidont.eloct was expected to profit. Yet
singularly enough, the only mistakes made
during the first six or seven weeks of the ad
ministration have been made by the Secretar!

IT is pleasant to read that Gen. Grant
