The condition of the present admin
istration in its conduct of the affairs
of government is an ideal one for the
best good of the country. The party
in power has enough of a majority in
house and senate to assure the sue
cess of most if not all of the admins
tration policies in substantially the
shape in which they are proposed. And
yet there is enough difference of opin-
ion among the majority and enough
weight among the opposition to make
the republicans cautious. and avoid any
tendency toward undue extravaganza
in eXpediture or rashness in policy.
