THE BLUNDER OF DELAY.

AT the first suggestion of war.
1T seemed that we were to have a
united Congress, united people
and an Executive, in harmony
with both. This was perhaps a
100 happy condition to last, for we
have today a Congress divided in.
10 factions, a people of many diff.
ferlng minds, and press repre-.
sentlng the minutest divergenccs
OF sentiment, and all this in the
face of as stern crisis as ever con.
fronted Il nation.
The President is no Solomon
perhaps, but he is wise enough to
know that he is making history,
and that posterity at least. will
recognize any glazing mistake.
Even now men are heard OH every
hand asserting that mistakes have
already been made. The very
magnitude Of the responsibility
that rests upon him, and which
doubtless dictated a policy of re.
lection and caution, has in all
probability been the cause of the
greatest blunder he could have
committed-the blunder of delav
We had better obeyed the impulse
of just resentment and righteous
indignation, and instructed the
Court of Enquiry TO determine Gin
five days whether the Maine was
blown up by her own magazines
and report" Then we had a cause
of quarrel that eventhe king of q
cannibal island would acknowle dye
as just. We have waited too long
and we have tried to play diplo
macy without State department.,

SOME DISTRICT TALK.

Last week when the air was
surcharged with lightning, and
mems minds were filled with the
pomp and circumstance of glorious
war, our esteemed Republican con
temporary oblivious OF his sur.
roundings, sat down to implore
"his people" to heal all their diff.
erences, to rush together and take
such action as would-make the
election Of a Democrat to Con.
grcss impossible, in the Ninth
District. Our contemporaries re.
publicanism seems to pain him i'm
all kinds Of weather. Its worse
than an old wound, or the linger.
ing souvenirs that the grippe leaves
behind it. In the little bugle cat
call to which we refer, lie appeals
to his fellow partizans not to let a
few post office blunders SNAKE the
election Of a Democrat possible
i'll the Ninth District" and all the
time the Ninth District is as safely
Democratic as Kentucky is under
the new election law. WHY. but
Tor Democratic mistakes, (Which
VIII not be repeatedly your part
had no more chance to elect Gen.
Walker, (who is a perambulat
ing mistake himsel) than it had
to capture the Legislature of Vir.
glnla. No body knows better than
General Walker that he is serving
his last term in Congress, and he
ought to write 10 our neighbor and
relieve the tension. Does any
sane man believe that he would
have outraged one half the Re.
publlcans in the District for any
other purpose than to avoid a re.
nomination and sure defeat ?
There's nothing the matter with
the generals "head," the only
thing that troubles him is that he
has a few indiscreet friends left
who Will persist in the teeth of
war, 'pestilence and famine in
grooming him as a forlorn.hope
candidate for Congress.
