The Australian federation that was
thought to be definitely planned and
practically inaugurated has failed for
the time being, and the different states
or colonies are left as they were before,
to manage their own affairs in their own
way. The cause of the failure is not
stated, but it is undoubtedly over some
point i'll the proposed compact affecting
the autonomy of the states. Another
effort will be made to effect union and
establish a representative head, and it
will succeed sooner or later, notwith-
standing the opposition of the English
government to such a movement.

The failure of the southern contin-
gent of the Alliance to participate ac-
lively and heartily in the third party
movement inaugurated at Cincinnati
may lay them open to the charge of
duplicity, lack of good faith, and all
that, butt cannot be said that there is
not some good sense in the reason they
assign, i. e., that it We're better to give
the old parties another chance to com
ply with the demands of the people in
matters of reform legislation. 1t will
not be denied that the demands of the
Peoples party other than what the two
parties are pledged to, are in the nature
of experiments, with numerous pre-
cedents against their practicability; in
view of which fact the two old parties,
in opposing the proposed innovations,
are doing the people and the country
patriotic services.
