SETTING THE PACE.

1t does not appear possible that the new
Cunard steamer which has made such
wonderful time between New York and
Queenstown will be able to do the voyage
Ia five days, but after her engines are in
thorough working order she undoubtedly
Will make it in five and half days The
distance between Queenstown and New
ork is little less than 5000 nautical
miles. On her trials the Campauia at
tanned speed of 2315 knots. Could only
% knots be maintained the run would al
most be accomplished in five days, but an
average so high Is not to be expected.
Some Thousands of horsepower would
nave to be added to make it a certainty,
although the engines are the most power
ful that any ship possesses. EXigencies
OF weather prevent vessel making uni
form daily run. Thus the highest daily
reckoning of the Campania on the east
ward passage was 517 miles, but on other
days she fell below 500 considerably.
Head winds and buffeting seas make all
the difference. The fastest passages are
always in the summer months, when
storms are little known ana fogs are not
so frequent BY next year, however, there
Will be one steamer at least on the Allan
tic capable OF steaming from % to % knots
per hour, and then the voyage will be re-
duced TO five days. To improve upon this
seems scarcely possible. but no engineer
VIII admit that an extra mile or two is out
Of the question. All he asks is a commits
son to construct the vessel he wants in
size and engine power. The Great Eastern
is to be eclipsed in size, and before the
century closes we may see leviathans ore
and half times her length, capable of
steaming 80 miles an hour.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS PARTY.

The Portland OregoRidH thinks Mr..
Cleveland is doing good work in nation
aizing the Democratic party. That jour
nal SAYS:
Fancy any President before 1860 telegraph
ing 10 the Governor OF State instructions 10
Keep the peac. or execute the laws. This
practice came in with the organization of the
loyal Governors Into sort of corps OF civilian
department commanders under Lincoln.
Cleveland is the first Democrat in history 10
indorse or employ it. Governors sixty years
ago thought themselves empowered 10 Instruct
Presidents and cid not mince words in doing ii.
Leaving out of consideration the prac-
tice in vogue during the war, there is
ground for the assertion that Mr.. Cleve-
land has gone further in ignoring the
rights # States than any of his Republican
predecessors. The unfortunate dispatch
to the Governor of Oregon requesting him
to do his duty is but one manifestation of
tendency TO consider States as a sort of
dependencies. In the distribution of
offices some regard has usually been paid
to the proportion allotted to each State. 1t
has also been the practice of all other
Presidents to consult with State delega-
lions in Congress in resi- ect to the selec-
tons to be made. Mr.. Cleveland con-
sIueIs himself sOleiy responsible LOT ap-
pointments and takes no pains to let local
advisers know that he can get along with
out them. Mr.. Clevand does not take the
position that no changes should be made
except for cause. but assumes that the
bestowal of Offices is one of his preroga-
tives. 1t is odd that the party most in
clined to an extreme assertion of States
rights should meekly follow a President
who in practice departs most widely from
that doctrine.
