Not a Politician.

There is not so much talk in political
circles as there was few weeks ago,
about the Presidents failure as party
leader. The President was not poll
tician, in the ordinary sense of the
word, before he entered the White
House, and he has not developed much
of the politicians talent since he has
been there. The management of the
Government is to him q business mat
ter. He would like to transact the af-
fairs of the people in the executive of
fee as he attended to the interests of a
client in Buffalo before he became the
President of the United States. He
does not take to the dicker and trade
of politics as practiced by many of the
gentlemen in Congress. The talk
about his want of leadership originated
In two different quarters. 1t largely
came from men with whom he had re-
fused to enter into small political bar
gains for their private benefit This
is the trouble with many of the mem
bers of Congress. They are uncertain
about their reelection. They are
plagued by importunate constituents,
who look to them to secure consulships
and other fat places. They are both
cred by competitors who are ready to
seize on every fact that can be used to
.heir disadvantage, and who carefully
stir up disaffections against them at
home They want the President to
tura over to them the patronage of
their respective localities. The Presi-
dent viii not do it, and his refusal is
called "a lack of leadership. '-BostOn

He Is INDICATED.

rEs Passage of the Post-office Appropri-
alton Bill a Sufficient Answer to Mo-
nopoly Attacks upon the Postmaster
General.
Ever since Mr.. Villas refused to yield
to the insolent demands of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company TO hand over
the mail subsidy which they had so
persistently lobbied for at the last Con-
gress, he has been the object of fierce
and unreasoning attack. Not only
that swash-buckler organ of rabid Re-
/ pubficanism, the New York Tribune,
/ but newspapers which should know
better, have assaulted the Postmaster
General for what they were led to be-
lieve by the disappointed lobbyists was
/ a blow against American shipping
interests.
Mir. Villas complied with the full re-
quirements of the law. There was no
mandatory clause in it, obiging him to
! submit to the demands of the Pacific
! Mail Company, and his action in resist
ing the bulldozing course of that mo-
nopOly has been sustained by public
sentiment. His exhaustive explana-
ton of the question in his annual re-
port convinced every fair-minded read
err of the wisdom and prudence that
governed his action.
The passage of the Post-office Appro-
priations bill in the House of Repre-
sentatives is a striking vindication of
the course pursued by Mr.. Villas. The
wise discretion he had exercised was
eloquently explained by Messrs. Hol-
man and Randall. That remarkable
specimen of New Jersey statesman
ship, William Walter Phelps. made a
most amusing misstatement of the
question between Mr.. Villas and the
subsidy grabbers. bringing in entirely
irrelevant subjects, from the Presiden-
tial succession to the silver question.
He made no effort to explain away the
discretionary power left to the Post
master-Gencral by the very bill about
which he talked so glibly and he was
suggestively silent on the deS-
perate efforts made by the sub
s;dy lobby and the manipulation
of the Conference Committee. The
Pacific Mail Company was evidently
disheartened this time and abandoned
the field to Mr.. Phelps, who was any
thing but comfortable in his isolation.
The subsidy lobby in Washington have
discovered that this is not the kind of
Administration calculated to give them
any consolation and that the temper of
the House was decidedly against them.
Even Mr. Bingham, of Pennsylvania,
was forced to acknowledge that the
Post-office bill without subsidy was
the best reported in his experience as
a member of the House in a period of
eight years. It now remains to be seen
what disposition will be made of the
bill by the Senate. If that body at
tempt to load it down with objection
able amendments it will find more OPP
position in the House than was encoun-
tered last year.-Aibany argus.

THE HOUSE IN 1888.
a Forecast of the Result of the Next
Congressional Elections.

Congressional Elections.
Under ordinary circumstances the
majority of the House of Representa-
tives will be Democratic, as it has been
at every election since 1872, save one,
and rs it would then have been had
the districts been arranged as they
now are in the several States.
During this time the Southern States
have sent at each election practically
the same number of Democratic Repre-
sentatives, except that the Missouri
Democrats in 1880 lost several districts
through n Greenback-Republican al
lance. Decided political changes
have been confined mainly to the
Northern States, and the disastrous eff
fleets were felt only by Republicans.
The Democrats, sure of more than one
hundred Southern members without
any considerable expense of time or
money, found it no very difficult mat
ter to secure 4 sufficient number from
the Northern States to give them a ma
iority, which, in such years as 1874
and 1882, ran well into the seventies.
The present House has 1874 Democrat
ic members, of whom 108 are from the
South, 30 from the East and AZ from
the West, considering all the late slave
States the South, New England, New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
the East, and the rest of the States the
West. The dividing line between par
ties runs nOw-as it has for years
East and West, the Democrats carry
ing the House because their members
from the North outnumber the Repub-
lican members from the South. For
merly this same line was drawn in all
important votes in Congress. Latter
ly, however. and especially now, the
line is purely imaginary, and, if drawn
at all, is rather North and South than
East and West. thus tending to divide
both parties, instead of welding togeth-
er the discordant elements in each.
1t is this fact which makes sagacious
politicians of both parties apprehensive
of the result of the coming Congress
sional elections. Democrats suffer
from no monopoly Of the prevailing
uneasiness. However serious the dis
satisfaction may be in the Democratic
party, Republicans are no less con-
cerned. The only consolation they
have lies in their confidence that for
once in this generation they ara not
the only party liable to be hit by a
political cyclone Washington Posi-.
