A WAY TO tICrOMY.
The increment of the liberal UcjniWt
raus, which threaterj to oranbe and to
take pcrw.anetit funn at the Cincinnati
lventlott on ttw fi:nt of May, seems to
le gsSherfin? Rnw rapidly. The manifwto
of the New York "t titers' has been quickly
(allowed by a manuVmo from the liberal

pitiuises if refortu which have p'tualtved

to luttaute tlial tuilw the Repnblioan leatl

la as ueaiiy certain as that fteneral ftrant
will be retrominated at riuladelphia. The
late elections in New Hampshire, Coiuiee.
ticut aud Khodo Island give strength to
this opinion, for, while the Democrats
would have accepted victory In those States
as a precursor of their national success,
now they accept defeat as a command to
be passive In the national canvass, allowing
the Republicans to conduct the contest
among themselves, and supporting thai
lik) which they judge to be the most
favorable for the country.
I ho responsibility for this condition or
political all'airs belugto the Republicans

ceiited by all as simply an advisory tueet-
1.... 1.. I..H ... il .. . Jl ... II... V ..I 1
Kepulillcoit Couvcntiou, seeuis likuly to be
forced luto an ludejieudeut ponUlon by the
inaction aud mlsmanacemeul of tho lead
en In Coiircs. It Is not surprising, thcro-
tore, mat mo loony who are luteivsied m
maintaining tho present buutlng civil ser
vice aud that system of special legislation
called a protective tarllU should bo uruina
tho Houao of Repirsi!iitatlve8 toailopt the
resolution which Senator Morton Intro
duced the first week hi the session for the
final adjournment of Concress before, the
nominating conventions shall be held. The
timidity of the lTesldenual session "or
Concress has become proverbial : but the
cowardice of the present Congress bids fair
to noid mo superlative degree lu national
legWatlon, It began fkiirly ono year ago
by promlslrut to abolish tho obnoxious
bountki extorted from tho people to
manual u rim monopolies, ami cy
encouraging reform In the civil ser
vice. It has ended tnsnr months
of idle discussion by an unconditional sur
render te the rluga which threaten or cajole
the members with their iniluonce In Con
gressional districts and in the national can
vass. Had Congress continued as it began,
and ful tilled the pledges upon which It was
elected, the Cincinnati movement would
have boon as lnlguiilcant as the Cleveland
movement in lsW, or it would not have
been heard of at all. But proscription.
monopoly, corniptiou aud bad management
of the civil service have gone unpunished,
and have been shielded by the fuelilnat In
veNligatlons. The ring which am Inter
ested in tlm prtwent tiiisatlsfaclory condi
tion of tilings oio consequently feaiful even
now that Confess uiay take tho ahum aud
go to work,
vve trust mat ineir apprehensions win
prove correct. I hero must bo soma wis

of this sesslou have already passed lu abso
lute Idleness, so far as tho public business
is concerned. Amnesty, civil somen re
form, and tho repeal of tho fi anklne privl
lego have waited upon special legWatlon.
The sum and substance of the work of
Congress thus far has been to make f apt
tal for an " opposition " In tho national
canvass. Facts nro dlsagreeablo soniiv
times ; tlwy aro always ttubbtirn. If Con-
Kress wauls the adiuinlstralioti defeat od
in the coming canvass, it should adjourn
at tno commaiui ot the louly without do

of all forelini Pow ers. The stroncth ac
quired by fmperlallzatlon Is the bulwark of
tho Fatherland, and tho guarantee of peace
to Europe. '
