WASHINGTON, Oct Ii, 1915.
The latest news from Mexico, clearly exhibits
the uncomfortable truth 10 our asprants after mill
tary glory, that " the magnanmous nation OF
tyrants, gentlemen, banditu and azzaron" of our
sister republic, comprise SO large portion OF the
population, as TO leave but mere corporal's guard
for the defence OF the country II Is we'll therefore,
that the Supreme Government, hasj just made the
declaration of war. Failing in this experiment-
entirely failing, we doubt not that Mexico will be
disposed to sell the disputed territory north OF the
Rio Grande upon own terms-t0 acknowledge
first the independence of Texas secondly her
right to dispose OF her supreme government and her
soil at her dlscretion-thlrdy, to make the surren-
der of the disputed territory, through negotiations,
an offset to the balances of lndemnitles legered
against Mexico in the archives of the State Depart
ment of this Government.
We expect such recommendations from the Pre-
sident on this subject, as will lead to the appoint
ment of special commissioner, to propose such
overtures to the Mexican government as, # carried
out, will establish our southern boundary along the
Rio Grande, secure the payment OF Mexican In
IDENTITIES to our citizens BY our Government
assuming the responsibility, and reopen peaceru
commercial mtercommunicatlon between the two

On the question of the Tariff the Unton of last
evening expressly declares the 20 per cent ad uGtc
as the revenue system of the President. He
will, therefore, recommend such Tariff. And
what will be the result! 1t will be laid on the ia
BILE in the House by vote of two-thirds-it will
fall as still-bom under the ayes and noes as John
Tyler's Exchequer Nothing under Cen M'Kay's
bill can pass, and that, though framed IN its
lmposltions upon cold iron, as to conclllae ii pos
sble, the democrats of Pennsylvania, failed in that
Cancellation. They voted, IngersOll, Bdlack, and
ALL to lay out the bill upon the table, without any
lamentation its corpse. But on the night the
bill died the death, there was something OF Irish
wake among certain democrats over the event but
there were no tears. Weathersfeld onions would
not have wrung them out OF the eyes of Charles Ja
red that night And if the President intends the
bold Jacksonlan movement OF 20 per cent horizon
taller he will fall through sitter. Perssting in it he
has not the personal popularity TO withstand the
shock Of the opposition that will be arrayed against
him. That opposition will be more extended than
was the combination against Gen, Jackson in his
war upon the bank-more numerous, more formda-
BILE. The suddenness of the transition from the 20,
3d. 80. ~ l2o $50 and 200 per centums Of the pre-
tariff down to the dead procrustean level of 20
per cent on everyhng-sks cottons, iron salt, and
what not, is movement too bold for the concur
renee of Congress-involvlng too much present dam
ger, however wise the policy in its ultimate opera
tons and effects upon national manufactures and In
ternatlonal exchanges.
Nor are we certain that the dead level Of 20 per
cent is the South Carolina beau ideal of a tariff
! We have heard OF Determinations for protection
upon a revenue tariff In the tariff, but have
heard, also, Of determinations for revenue, regard
less of protection, in the"south According to this
latter SYSTEM if 15 per cent upon cold iron will bring
more revenue into the treasury than II, 1t Is the
better rate of duty, and if that rate at which most
revenue can be derived, it is the best of all BY
"
| adhere to her n per cent upon iron, and dispute
the propriety of any duty whatever upon such
cessary articles OF llfe as sugar and moasses Amid
these and numerous other conflicting interests and
claims, the President will have, perhaps, taken the
safest after all in selecting the neutral ground
of the Compromise Act. And though 20 per cent
horizontal line can not be made to penetrate the
iron mines of Pennsylvania, it may turn out the
most reasonable Interpretation of the " Kane letter.
that could be adopted, though that letter is well
adapted to the tariff of AZ to the Compromise
Act or any intermediate tariff. Never saw such
letter that. That single idea of "equal protec-
ton" to all the great industrial interests of the
country was worth the Presidency though of no in
trlnsc value at all +" 1t somethns-nothing,
and yet it every thing Although it not
conclusive with any, body-it was satisfactory to
every body. 1t stood up straight in South Caro-
lima as it did in New Hampshire, and straight in
the State of Pennsylvania as the tariff Why, sir,
ten those Pennsylvanians thought it squinted
at the tariff OF AZ, while it was clear as mud to
the South Carolinians that it was the Compromise
Act.
The Union "insinuates" that the loss of Georgia

tude OF the administration upon the subject OF the
Tariff while the fact is, it is the ambiguous, mex

Of the organ that have done the mischief, if either
the one paper or the other had any influence In the
election at all.
We are apprehensive of a defeat Of the democrats
in Ohio. They are divided among themselves on the
question of the State banks whether they shall be
reformed or destroyed-they are divided upon the
subject OF the appOrtonment OF the pro rata OF feder-
al patronage Ohio. The administration has given
to The State several of the best Offices at head-quar
/ ters but among them is that held by DR.. Miller,
third assistant p. M General. The orthodox de-
mocracy of Ohio regard the retention of this gentle
man as tampering with the Tyler Shannon Wooster
bank clique. Hence the leaders of the orthodox out

straton as could be desired. The expulsion of Blair
and Rives, too, has operated materially to cool the
ardor of the Buckeyes on the subject Of

little interest in the issue OF the elections there for
the U. s. Senate.
We expect that some interesting matter, under re-
solution of inquiry, twill be laid before the Senate
early after the convention of Congress touching the
copper country of Lake Superor-the permits, the
