Chairman Springer is wishing he
hadn't sprung. He was premature in
his Jump into the arena with his free
wool bill and now no is said TO be con-
sidering ways and means of getting
safely out with it in company. Springer
was rash enough to believe the Dem
ocracy would spring with him, though
any rational mortal might have consid-
cred that when the Democracy jumps it
is upon and not to the rescue of its
own members.
The House majority is considering the
advisability of a jump upon free wool.
The congressman from the Northwest
and South will jump whether or not the
East jumps with them. Springer has
made the uncomfortable discovery that
his measure is regarded as a serious blow
at the farmers. and, since he has only
contemplated the removal of the COM
pensatory duties on manufactured
woolens while leaving the ad valorem
rates rs they are, he is even accused of
catering covertly TO the manufacturers
and of having protectionist leanings.
"Oh, what a fall was there, my country
men," how incautiously was Springers
springing sprung.

THE DIFFICULTY OF POLITICAL
REFORM.

The difficulty of effecting political re-
forms is illustrated in every age, and is
a frequent source of Encouragement to
those actually engaged in such work.
Even simple reforms often require
years for their accomplishments, while
greater ones are sometimes delayed for
generations. Nothing could be much
simpler or more obviously advanta-
geOus, for instance, than the admins
trative reforms that have SO long been
desired in this country: yet, after more
than twenty-five years Of discussion
and agitation, these reforms are only
just begun. Among the greater polite
al movements we may mention that for
the abolition of slavery, which had con-
tinued for nearly generation be-
fore public sentiment was thoroughly
aroused. In this case, indeed, there
was powerful interest arrayed against
the refOrmers; but the Strangest cir
cumStance in the case was the pro-
longed opposition or apathy of the peo-
PIS VI oliS IlSO 'CloICO ALI
other remarkable example of the diff
Guilty of reform was seen in the case of
the anti-cOrn-law movement in Eng
land. The abolition of the cOrn-laws
was obviously for the benefit of the
mass Of the English people; yet it is
matter of history that at first the peo-
pie could not be brought to take an in
terest in the reform. and that the diff
Guilty of effecting it was so great that
one time Golden himself the great
leader of the movement, was on the
point of abandoning the task in de-
spair. We think few instances can be
found in history of important improve
ments in political affairs without pro-
lOnged and persistent agitation in adj
vance.
The reasons for this fact are various.
The sluggishness of public opinion, the
opposition of sinister interests, the alb

sonal affairs, and that pride of opinion
which makes men unwilling to &C

is everywhere accepted as final. This,
then, is one of the benefits of free gov
ernment-that political improvements
once effected are certain to endure; and
in this fact refOrmers may find encOur-
agement when their temper is tried and
their patience exhausted by the slug
gishness of public opinion and the
seeming dizziness of the popular con-
science.
But there is another consideration of
still great Importance. The general
and prolonged discussion which gener-
ally precedes reform in popular gov
eminent has an educating effect of the
highest value. This has long been re-
cognized by political philosophers as
one of the principal benefits that popu-
lar government confers, and the his
history of such government in all ages
bears out this view. Even this routine
work of government, such as the con-
duct Of municipal affairs, has an edu
eating influence of no little value; but
it is far surpassed in this respect by
those discussions of principle which
necessarily precede the enactment of
great reforms. Questions involving the
principles of morals and the happiness
perhaps of millions cannot be pOndered
by any man without improving to some
extent both his intellect and his char
acter; and this educating influence is
especially valuable in the case of the
masses of men, because of the mar
rOwness of their mental horizon. Men
of leisure and men of intellectual tastes
can find means of culture and mental
stimulus in various ways; but the
minds of the uneducated and tOiling
masses are seldom reused to thought
except by some matter of great impor-
lance. Now, political affairs are of the
highest Importance to every one; and
hence, in a country where the control of
affairs is lodged in the hands of the
people, the educating influence of polit-
ical discussion and action is felt in high
degree, and is one of the most potent
means of popular culture. This intiu
ence cannot be made available except
under popular government; for the peo-
pie will seldom take very lively inter
est in governmental affairs if they are
not to be called upon to help in decid-
ing them. But if their voice is potent
in deciding what shall be done, no ques-
ton of importance can arise in which
they will not take an interest: and then
the discussion of such question by the
more instructed minds will quicken the
popular intelligence and educate the
popular conscience as few other agen-
cies will.
When, therefore, the, advocates of pO-
litical reform in free country grow
discouraged, as they sometimes will,
and wish, perhaps, that they themselves
had independent powers to carry out
their measures, they may find comfort
in the thought that while the reforms
they desire, if really beneficial, can
hardly fail to be realized at last, the
mere discussion of them before the peO-
pie has an effect in the popular mind
that may be little less important than
the reforms themselves.
