by extension, always in obedience TO democratic
tendencies and demands. Power, broadly speak
ing passed from the aristocracy to the middle
classes in S32; in 867's and flr more decsively
in sS4, the working classes. first the artisan and
then the agricultural laborer, succeeded to that
splendid heritage. What could have been more
useful to reformers during this period Of transition
than an accurate acquaintance with the workings
Of democracy in America? But they did not ac-
quirc it, and they are cropping their way to-day
through series of difficulties with little help from
the experience or wisdom Of the United States.
The indifference Of the English to precedents
which have been established elsewhere than with
in the United Kingdom is one reason for this con-
tinung and contented ignorance Of the American
Constitution. But there is another the influence
Of which is perhaps not less potent, though more
seldom avowed. The men who have the ear Of the
masses in England naturally men who have
promoted political reforms and who are eager TO
promote other reforms They are Radicals and
they want to get to the root Of things as rapidly
as possible They look upon the existing Consti-
tuition as embodying a mass Of abuses Of which
they want TO get rid They want to run the
legislative machine at full speed They utter
]y impatient Of checks of moderation, of enforced
dcliberatiOn upon great Constitutional changes.

Hopeful Indications That There VIII Be
No Disastrous Floods.
The danger from floods seems TO be
slowly but certainly disappearing, and
lower river planters may take on renewed
hope and courage. Indications now point
to immunity from overflow, at least for the
present. The prediction OF Signal Officer
Greedy, that the danger line at this point
would be reached on Sunday last, failed
TO verify, and that official may have
to accept classification along with Virgins,
Nennar and others who have been known

mated the river lacked eighteen inches OF
reaching the mark, which was thirty-three
feet one inch. Although still rising, cold
weather has checked the thaw in the
upper country and the enormous volume
OF water from the Missouri river.
II seems the signal service gauge nj this
point is In position to render Il extremely
lalliblc as an index 10 what may be posi-
lively anticipated. The current Of the
river runs in such direction as 10 crawl

date 10000 in day.
Nor since the great spring handicap, the
Suburban, was first run in 1884 at Sheep
head bay has winter betting on the event
been 30 light as this season. There are
more reasons than one for this. None OF
the leading bookmakers in New York have
as yet marked odds opposite the names of
the entries, and in the lists offered by out
OF town commissioners the odds have been
so uniformly small that betting men have
refused to place large amounts on their
iavorites. In many instances the present
prices are almost sure TO be increased on
the day OF the race. Then, again, the sea-
son has been 80 backward that it has been
impossible for eastern trainers 10 give their
horses even the lightest kind Of work A
week OF fair weather, however, will find
the flyers busy ON the principal eastern
tracks. Betting ON the Brooklyn Jockey
Club handicap, which is run ON May Is, a
month before the Suburban, Is also very
light, and the odds against some OF the
favorites are ridiculously small
