THE CONTRAST AND TIE WARNING.

II seems somewhat Of = hopeless task
10 secure any general uuaniuity OF
opinion In society, whstever the subject
may be; judicial minds are rare, and
to weigh the evidence for and against
10 not the ordinary habit Of mankind.
This was brought forcibly TO refisc-
ton during our late election. The
Two great parties (as they arc oalled)
are about In the same relative proper
ton In UlAh ~ In the country at
large; but why one half The population
should conclude In favor Of one policy
and the other half, or nearly 20, In
favor OF tho other, 10 one Of those things
which are undiscovered. 1t used TO be
said that "rfuth 10 In q vel, and
probably that Ia 20 deep that out few
have the ability TO draw the precious
thing from thence, OF maybe the few
only can afford the time or have
anxiety enough concerning II to make
any effort.
Surely II ia not all sell Interest which
determines whether one IL Republican
anu another IL a Democrat; why one
or other 10 oil awry In intellect and the
other possesses n clearer conception OF
right. The difference 10 Just as radical
In cultured men as 10 IL among the
masses, 30 II would appear as n neither
experiment nor experience had given
u reliable answer as 10 which 10 really
the best for society at large, leaving
out this value VI local Issues ~ OF but
little consequences In comparison with
the mightier interests OF the whole.
II no demonstration 10 possible, COM
mon sense would seem to suggest the
propriety, nay the advantage. OF super.
seding the old issues by newer ones
equslly important, and vet possible Of
ISOLATION. Or will further educational
opportunity give tho prsronderanee to
one aide, 80 rs to ovetwhs,m the other
and mako the mental conflict com.

The argument cannot DO too often
presented from the ndpoint Of an
onlo0ker that however important con-
trovefsy may appear to b. on national
issues or policy, II seems tho verlesi
child's play to mako this an ovorma,-
tering question In regard 10 local Affairs
in which there 10 nothing involved.
Probably tho blindest would admit
that men selected for position as
senators or representatives In q nation
al congress should have ideas OF their
own or be instructed Of their electors
on the most absorbing OF questions.
But why \ mayor, an alderman, n
city councillor, n policeman, or n FIRE.
man should fnd position on these IT,
relevant issuss 10 n strange anomaly.
IL II could be shown or proved that q
man would be more successful or ,fli.
Client because OF political ideas or
bias, It would DO understandable. But
no such thing 10 even claimed, or pub.
lie action would surely Justify itself
and elect the proper-the effective, par-
tisan every time.
