THE POLITICAL DRIFT.

A political horoscope at best is com.
posed mainly of elements of uncertainty.
Yet we may, by taking high ground and
avoiding merely local measures and in
huencss, observe and estimate, with a
comparative degree of reliability, the
general drift of the nation Just as,
standing upon some bold headland, We
may see the sweep of rivers current,
and are not deceived by eddies and
back currents"
What is the political drift of the Amer
ican people to-day2 Clearly, to a man
whose vision is not dimmed by partisan
prejudice or local coloring, but one an
swer can be made-the republican party
has entered upon new lease of power
which 1t may preserve, unbroken, for
many years. For the coming twenty
years II seems probable that the repub-
licans will control American politics,
Possibly democracy, within that period
may be trusted with the administration
of affairs for another limit of four years,
but this Is mainly contingent upon the
behavior of the republicans. Discussions
in its own ranks, II now seems probable,
alone can defeat that party at the polls.
OF the eight new senators to be chosen
by the new states now standing upon
the verge of statehood. six indisputably
fall to the republican side of the cham.
ber. In Montana the courts alone
oan determine tho result, with the
chances apparently about even. But
even II the democrats gain the victory
at best il can be but short-lived.; The
remnants of Prices brigade, who peo-
pied Montana in the early days of re-
construction, can offer but faint resist
ance to the overwhelming wave of immi-
grafton now sweeping over the West
Propinquity is an influence that party
leaders are powerless successfully TO
combat. The same influence will pre-.
dominate in Idaho when that territory
shall be admitted TO the union, and Wy
oming also is pretty certain to remain in
tho republican column. Utah will, in
all probability, cast her vote with the
democrats should she be admitted, but
in time that state will .become debatable
ground. Against this array Of young
and vigorous republican timber, the
democrats will probably have Arizona
and New Mexico, for those territories
will DO peopled largely by immigrants
from the Southern and border states.
In the South the republicans have
always had fighting chance, and this,
il seems reasonable to predict, will be-
como brighter as the voters of the man
ufacturing states more fully understand
the tariff question.
Thus stands the political situation as

change those conditions. New issues
may arise which will remold the old
parties, or sweep one or both of them
out of existence. Such, rs matter of
fact, must be the ultimate result but
for the immediate future the drift Is
strongly towards republican control OF
American politics. "'
