The authorities had taken most ample precau- tions against disorder, but there seewms to have beon no disposition in the great erowd to disturb the peace or in any way violate the law. Some of the delegations brought women with them, an assurance of pencoful intention, and all seemed to be impressed with the importance of good behayior ag necessary to win favor for their causo. A difterent course would have given the government an oxcuse for wholly disregarding their appeal and would have invited universal condemnu- tion, and these aggricved workingmen wisely chose the policy of presenting their case, which is not without merit, in aa orderly and proper way. In this age there is more potency in this method than in an appeal to force, and agitators the world over would do well to learn this truth. — Qur estoomed contemporary, the Herald, followed in the wake of the Bre and sceured a fast perfecting press and stercotyping machinery, which is the duplicato of thos. ased by mearly n yearago.

It was said that upon n more careful examination of the treas- ury situation since the adjournmment of cougress, the conclusion had been ched that the surplus, probably y ly to the amount contemplated by solytion of Mr. MoFHsof; can De ed in the redemption 6f bonds. Kunowing the actual demands upon the treasury in the form of appropriztions, and being able to estimate very closely the probable revenues of the year, the secrctary is cnabled to see his course more clearly and surely than it was possi- le for him to do in adyance of the ad- journment; and having the entire discre- tion in the matter he has decided that a cull of bonds is expedient. This is n gratifying concession to the popular de- mand that the millions lying idle in the treasury in excess of the require- ments of the government shall be em- ployed in paying off the public debt and reducing the annual interest charge. It i5 also a plain confession of the correot- ness of tho opinion that the surplus coulidl be wisely and safely employed in this way. It suggests that either the judg- ment of those who ntained this opinion was better than that of the treas- ury, or that the.opposition of the latter was made chiefly’ for the purpose of re taining the diseretionary power in matter, which, indeed, was the grava of the argument from this soure the Morrison resolution. nents wade carly ant secretary king a oall for bonds is strongly con- demned by ‘Preasurer Jordun, not wholly upon firancial grounds, but as an unwise concession to the extreme clement in congress. Itis not understood that this 18 o matter with which Mr. Jordau bas anything to do, but it has become a habit with that oflicial—who is really nothing | the | eotored | rathe | the | of more than a chief elerk-~to make himself prominent in connection with treasury af- fairs, whether they af o the service or not, thereby gaining a no- toriety which neither his position nor his ability entitles him to. Jordan was a New York banker, and it need not be said that all his views and wmethods ave in necord with the financial interests of that seotion. He econld be spared from the financizl department of the govern- ment, und there will be no general ro- gret if he shull carry out his reported de- teriination to resign. ‘Fure speoial plans for the basement of the city hall have been received st the engineer's office, and there will be ne further excuse for putting off the prelim- uries for building.

This finds an illustra- onin the Mexican controversy, Cer tain extreme journals, at the turn everytl s to republican | beginning of the difficulty, professed to soo init a deeply democratie conspivacy to inaugurate a war in order petunte that party in power, and a feeble and inconclust de on the part of some of them to 1lel in the democratic scheme ydizement and slavery extension that was the chief motive in the last war with Mexico, On the other hand, the statement is made that 1 administration cireles, or at least in the state depart- ment, the impression vrevails that the difticultics inthe way of a settlement nave been ereated not so much by Mexi- cans as by obliging friends in this coun- try, who, in their efforts to embarrass the administration, have suggested to Mexican authorities methods opvosition which perhaps would not have thought of. It is even claimed that the efforts of Mr. Blaine's friends h been exerted to strengthen the attitude of Mexico in order to show that “Mr. L d has acted with too much haste and has been too exacting.’ A very little analysis will show the ab- surdity of both these positions. In the first place it must be remembered that the primary cause of the arrestof Cutting was the fact of his having slandercd ¢ citizen of Mexico, one Emiglio Medi: and 1t was a purely personal and busi- affair that led him to do this. Medina had announced his intention to publish a paper in Paso del Norte, and with the purpose of damaging the pro- ject Cutting denounced him as a raseal, deadbeat, ete. When arrested Cutting signed a form of ‘‘reconcilintion” vro vided for by the Mexican law and was allowed to go, but it is alleged again put the libel in circulation and was re rested, when it is charged he committed the further offense of putting him- self in contempt of the court. Now {it is possible that this last act may have been in a measure due to the adyice of Consul Brigham, but to as- sume thatup to this stage the administr: tion or any responsible partof it had any thing to do with promoting the difliculty is too obviously ulous to be acceepted an of intelligence and candor. to the character of Cutting shows lim 1o be a very worthless, un- prineipled and troublesome fellow, very far from being the sort of man which would be selected by any resvonsible body of men representing a party to be the chief actor in a conspiracy intended to involve two triendly governments in e planned 10 pe was ni find a p of ug they ness The charge that friends of Mr. Blaine, or anylody clse other than perl American minister and consul, have been instrumental in embarrassing the admin- istrat’on in this matter is no less stupidly ridiculous than the other assumption. Even if the Mexiean government were not abundantly sble to take care of its own diplomatie controversies it certainly would mot seck aceept adyice from American pol ns, It could find no end of counsellors in other directions m which it would have moro confidence. But it is not apparent that the friends of Mr. Blaino could have any object to servo by intermeddhing. They certainly could not | il the Adinjnistration into disrepute with the people for promptly asserting the authority of the governinent in behalf of an American citizen who was believed to have been denied his rights and unjustly dealt with by a foreign gov ernment. If friends of Mr. Blaine were speaking for him this is not the position they would be expeeted to take, for promptuess, decision and firmness on the vart of the government in_ protecting its citizens is a cardinal part of the political policy and capital of Mr. Blaine. It is unnccessary, however, to multiply illus- trations of the absurdity of the attempt of certain newspapers to give the contro- versy with Mexico a political hue. They y secure the concurrence of a few ex- smo partisans, but the great majority of the intelligent public will have no dif- ficulty i sccing the ridiculous character 1 nssumption The President's Veracity. Mr. Cleveland i8 not an ardent s mirer of the nowspapers. He doesn't be- licve they ave truthful and trustworthy, and he hasn’t hesitated to say so when opportunity enabled him to do so. In s well-remembered letter to the editor of Puck he accused the newspapers of lying generally and meauly, at this time more than ever before, and in this country wore than iv any other country. He characterized this habit as an insule to the love of decency and fair play of which Americans boast. We are not aware that Mr. Cleveland ever retracted or qualitied this accusation, but quite re- cently he has shown that his opinion of last December is his opinion still, Not many days ago in a letter to a Florida man he expressed surprise that the gentle- man should have been annoyed by news- paper talk, knowing “the utter and com- picte recklossness and falsification 1n which they so generally indu ige.” For the strength of his cause the record of the accuser should be clean and above reproach. How is it with the presidentt The Washington Post, a demoeratic paper o high character, makes a statement in an- swer to the question. 1t states that the cditor of that journal, hearing the reports that the collector at New York was about to be replaced, ealled on the president and asked if there was any basis of fact in the rumors.
