The article focuses on American politics. The extravagant threats and denunciations which some stalwart orators find so telling at public meetings in Iowa, Maine, and other States in which Republicans are sure of success under any circumstances, unhappily reach people in other States in which Republicans are by no means sure of success, and are pondered by a body of persons whom, as a general rule, managers are apt to think of small account, but who in several States hold the balance of power. The difficulties in the way of the successful working of the California Constitution, arising out of its own defects, were grave enough a week ago, but they will probably be considerably increased by the Kalloch tragedy.
