It would not be surprising if this there be anything unusual or improper about it. In view of the great amount of eriticism that has heen directed against ry of state in connection with s of controversy, the wonder issnes with le wore the seer these matte is that he has been able to keep quiet so long, particularly 1f he reflected silence would come to be regarded confession that he had no ground of ex- planation or defense. True, a Balimore paper has songht to make itself the pe n of the secretary, and has right ntly essayed his dofense, but for the most part its efforts not been greatly to his advantage. The se ry is soon to take his vacation, and he prob- ably deemed the present a convenient opportunity for defining his position. The outline of the Post's artiele tele graphed to the Beg sheds little new light on the situation except as to the view of the secretary of te regarding the Sedgwick episode, in which view we apprehend he will find very little con- currence. With respect to the Catting case, the article avers that the position taken by the state department is one which every American citizen ought to maintain, This will be very generally granted so far as relates to the demand for & modification of the obnoxious Mexi- aws, but the complaint a; o rd was that at the outset, before ho knowledge of the existence of these laws, and withont having fully in- formed himself of the character and facts of the case, he authoriz demand for the release of Cutting, thereby putting the government i a false position. Hav- ing been betrayed by the ignorance or reckless zeal of his minister and consul into this unfortunate attitude, a most humiliating one for the chief cabinet officer of a great nation, he proceeded to ignore and virtually condemn the diplo- matic representative of the govern- ment in Mexico by designating a pri- vate special envoy to proceed to that country and investigate the case. That individual took the very first oppor: tumity that offered to disgrace his country and destroy his influence, notyithstand- ing which he 1s permutted to remain there and prosecute the inquiry—an example of the devotedness of Mr. friendship. Meantime the Mexican authorities kept Cutting in prison, and when in due time his case came on ‘for hi the court released him on the ground that he had been sufficiently punished. There was no appearance in this action of any concession to the American de- mand, the judicial authorities on the contrary being careful to have it under- stood that they maintained the right of the proceeding under their laws. ‘Lhe action since taken by the Mexican gov- ernment, in counseling the authorities of the several states to proceed cautiously in the arrest of foreigners and to promptly report such proceedings to the genceral government, is what would be cxpected of any government having enough common sense in its administra- tion to exercise ordinary prudence in dealing with the citizens of other countries, and particularly those of a powerful neighbor. It is not a surrender of anything—it can hardly be termed a concession—on the part of Mexico, for tiat government has given no indication or intimation of a purpose to modify the laws complained of, to say nothim of abondoning them. What this action amounted to is simply an assurance from the Mexican govern ment that it will recognize an obligationd with respect to foreigners who are held tobe amenable to its laws that is com- mon to all enlightened nations, namely, that of protecting them from unjust or ill-founded charges and securing them a speedy trinl. Ttis obviously absurd for Mr. Bayard, or his friends for him, to claim any credit for this result. With regard to the conduct of Sedgwick, the effort made to mitigate his offense on the ground that he *‘possesses no diplomatic character” only aggravates the humilia- tion which this whole proceeding has brought upon the nation. The proposi- tion that because a man is not clothed with diplomatic functions, although the representative of the chief cabinet of- ficial, he may be guilty of the most disgraceful conducy without its being made a matter of natioraPimpertance, is in every point of view degrading, and will be repudiated by all right -thinking men, With regard to the latest affuir, the seizure of the British schooners in Behr- ing sea, the Post’s article, while con- ceding it to be a matter likely to lead to a lively diplomatic correspondence, con- tains admissions which suggest that Mr, Bayard anticipates the failure of the gov- ernment to maintain the right to control the seal fisheries of those waters beyond the three mile limit from shore. Doubt- less those who regard the policy of the state department with reference to the Canadian fisheries controversy as timid and truckling will not be surprised at the premature surrender to KEngland in the Bebring sea matter which is clearly implied in the professed statement of Mr. Bayard's position, and in view of which these directly interested will not be likelv to attach much value to the promise that the matter will veceive *‘com- prehensive investigstion,” and that the government “‘will persist or recede with equal alacrity according to the facts of the case.” Mr. Bayard may feel confi- dent of a cordial popular support of every effort he shall make to defend the digmity and preserve the self respect of the government, whick have recently suffered & considerable deterioration, But there is a very general doubt as to his qualifications for this important duty, and it will not be lessened by the appar- ently authoritative explanation of his po- sition, as a —— Now that the mud batteries have opened & general fire on Senator Van k the positions of the enemy are dis- tinctly outlined.

What conrse way pursue is problematical. Her sertion of Prince Alexander at a critical moment, and without a word of protest, was a most reprehensible act, which could be only justified by her fear to stir up any foreign complications in the presence of troubles and perplexitics at home. But her very silence has pro- duced an effect which she certainly never expeeted.

The boodle gang, Church Howe has employed to ¢ Douglas county, should be made to nd that Omaha workingmen are voting cattle to be marketed and con- tracted out. On the other hand the workingmen are interested in sending to the next legisla- ture men who are in sympathy with them and who will cast their vote for Charles H. Van Wyck, the recogni ciiam- pion of the producers on the floor of the senate, In this county where the laboring men fully 6,000 votes, they are in a posi- tion to contribute to the success of Van Wyck, not only bya direct vote of confi- dence, but by nominating men who are in harmony with this sentiment of the voters. Under our system of goverment, through parties, the only sure way to se- cure good government 1s to nominate good men, and they can only be placed in nomination through the primaries of the two parties. THE ramor that has been current con- neeting Colonel Belo, editor of the Gal veston News, and one of the president’s companions in the Adirondacks, with the mission to Austi is said to have re- ceived o demal both from the president and the colonel, There is a story in re- lationjto this mission, at least ene feature of which nteresting. The public has not forgotten the Keiley episode, which terminated in a diplomatic estrangement between the two governments. The story goes that in the course of the correspon- dence relating to Keiley, the Austrian government communicated to its then minister at Washington, Baron Schaeffer, certain instructions intended for his personal guidance. In a moment of undiplomatic confidence the Austrian minister ,showed a copy of these in- structions to Secretary Bayard, who se- cured a transcript of them which he in- corporated in a dispatch to the American charge d’afiairs at Vienna, The inais- cretion of the mimster, when it came to the knowledge of the Austrian premier, eaused him to be promptly recalled, and at the same time the premier is smd to have indulged in some mnot alto- gother complimentary remarks re- garding the conduct in the matter of the American secretary of state. Thus a dif- nce of opinion between the foreign departments of the two governments re- lating merely to the social status of an individual, as aflecting his diplomatic | character, grew into one of ill-feeling be- tween the heads of those departments, resulting in the missions of both govern- ments becoming vacant, with the proba- bility of ot nuing so during the incum- bengcy of Secretary Bayard. m——— ’ No MATTER whether Mr, Howe is sur to be nominated or not the republicans of Douglas county should emphatically re- buke the fraud.

Briefly told, the history of this plan to hand over the country to Tilden and democracy is as follows. In 1876 Nebrask elected Silas A. Strickland, Amasa Cobb and A. H. Connor presidential electors by a vote of 31,916 as against a vote of 16,054 cast for the Tilden and Hendric eclectors. After the eloction 1t covered that the canvass of this vote could not take place under the then ex- isting law before the legislature con- vened. The electoral vote had to be ean- vassed in December at the latest, and the regular session of the leg ure did not begin until January. In order to make al canvass of the clectoral returns Governor Garbor called a spocial session of the legislature to convene on the 5th of December, '76, at Lincoln, for the pur- pose of eanvassing the electoral vote of the state. The demoeratic effort to cap- ture republican electoral votes s historie. Tilden's friends, notably Dr. Miller, had been plotting for the capture of one of the electors from Ne- braska, and it is also listoric that a large bribe was offered to one of the electors, General Strickland. The eall of the legislature broke mnto the plan of the plotters, and they found a willing and reckless tool in Church Howe. When the legislature convened at the pital, Church Howe filed a protest which may be found on pages 6, 7 and 8 of the Ne- braska House Journal for 1877, The fol- ving extract makes interesting reading: **L Chureh Howe, a mem! ture of Nebraska, now c mation of his excellenc Garber, for the purpose of canvassing and declaring the result of the vote east in Ne braska for electors for president and v president of the United States, hereby enter my solemn protest against such act, denying that the governor has power to eall this body in special session for any such purnose, or that this body hasany authority to canvass or declare the result of such vote upon the following ground First, This legislature now convened hay- ing been elected under what is known as the old eonstitution, has no power toact in the premises, the new constitution of the state n in force since Novembe v cond and third clauses de technical ob;] re somewhat lengthy. The concluding sentences of this precious document are as follows: “For the foregoing reasons I vprotest agaiust any canvass of the eleotoral vote oby this body, and demand s, my protest, be entered upon the journal.” (Signed) Church Howe, member of the legislature of Nebraka, The democr did not respond to the call of the governor and there was barely aquorum in the senate, while there were several to sparein the house of which Howe wasa member. The protest en- tered by Howe was doubtless prepared by the Tilden lawyers in Omaba and Howe had the glory of being the sole champion of Sam Tilden. The legisla- ture ignored Church Howe, spread his protest on its record und canvassed the clectoral vote in spite of it When the legislature convened in Jan- uary, 1877, the presidential contest was at its height in Washington. Church Howe had changed places from the house to the senate. Early m the scssion, a resolution was mtroduced expressing the conviction on the t of the senate that Hayes and Wheeler baving received a majority of the electoral votes were en- titled to their seats. This resolution gave rise to a very lively debate which lasted two days, Church Howe asked to be excused from voting whea it first came up aud was so excnsed. On the final passage of the resolution the record [page 376, Senate Journal 1877,] shows the following result: Yeas—Ambrose, Baird, Blanchard, Bryant, Calkins, Carns, Chapman, Colby, Dawes, Gar- field, Gilhnm, Hayes, Kennard, Knapp, Pepoon, Powers, Thummel, Van Wyck, Walton and Wilcox—20, Those voting in the negative were: Aten, Brown, Covell, Ferguson, Hinman, Holt, Church Howe and North--8, During the same session of the legisla- ture, Church Howe's vote on United States senator for the first three ballots is recorded as having been cast for B. W, Thomas, a South Carolina democrat, [pages 198 and 208 Senate Journal.| All this time Church Howe professed to be a republican independent, republican on national issues and a temperance granger on local issues.
