TIE WAR NEWS.

liz W .An NLNs.
We surrender much Of our space this
week TO the details from Mexico. The
news is important and foreshadows incrcas-
cd vexation aud prolonged hostili,ies with
that Inflated republic. Tho admission O,
Parcdes into Mexico is an event much to
be deplored, us he is an ayowed aud i'm
placable enemy 10 our government and to
its citizens. lie is ambitious and bloud-
thirsty and will rcsors to any means, toler-
ated in time Of war, To check the cncroach.
ments of our soldiers. lie is I'm enemy TO
Santa Anna and n litter cpponcn, Of peace.
However much the wooden-lcggcd repre-
sentative Of Mexican bravery desires peace,
he can do nothing while Paroles il in Mex.
leo. Possibly We nigh. have had peace
with Santa Anna in command, but with
Paroles in power, such contamination 50
devou,ly desired. will not be uttaincd.--
Had the officers of our government proved
faithful in the discharge Of their duty, Par
edcs would have been stopped at Vera Cruz,
but Atochn, il seems, after recognizing the
returned exile, allowed him TO pass unmo-
Tested, and SO Of Capt. Clark, the port Cap
tain ut Vera Cruz, both Of whom in consc-
quence nave been very properly dismissed
from their stations.
Tho appearance Of the leader Of the
monarchists upon the stage Of action ia
Mexico, while il creates deep sensation
will inspire new hopes. In Vera Cruz
much rejoicing was had when they learned
he had passed through that city 10 safety.
Parcdes no doubt will reach the city Of
Mexico before Gen. Scott advances upon il,
Il is stated in the Pcayunc, By a CORES
pondent, that on Paroles arrival, the Brit.
ish consul ut Vera Cruz had Immediately
despatched an express TO Gen. Scott, MS is
supposed, for the purpose Of delaying his
march upon the capital until parcdes could
g.iu an entrance. We aro disposed 10
question the correctness Of the suggestion.
Il appears, however, to be the general i'm.
preston among those best acquainted with
the state Of atlairs in Mexico, that some
European power will speedily side with
Mexico 10 the struggle she is making for
her independence. That European power
will unauest;ona.ly lie England. Ii she
couniycd ut Paroles entrance into Mexico,
which. if the statements lie true, she most
assurcdly did, then has she aided the encm.
and in such manner as will call for retail
ia,ion from our government. There is no
sacrifice too great, within the bounds Of rca-
son, that our goyernmen. could make 10
ward OF SO terrible catastrophe. Wur Is
dcplorablc enough when prosecuted against
q horde of dc,n.-savages and banditti, but
when our arms IRE turned against those
bound 10 Us by the ties Of consangaini.y,
il becomes fearful in the extreme, and bet
Ter suited 10 tho dark and bloody agcs of
the world, which, we trust in Heaven, may
never again DO visited upon our crimc-pol-
lu,ed earth.

1.-THE extra sum has been, as the Serti.
mel says, wronglnIly and without color of
law, appropriated, we trus. the People
whose good name has been rraudulentIy
used, will do no such thing as redeem it.
Their good name is involved only in doing
st.lct justice, and when they do that no re-.
proach can rest against them. IL an indi.
yiduai has clerk 10 do specific busi-
ness Tor him, and that clerk chooses e
forge his name TO certain promises TO pay,
we 90 moi understand how his good name
makes IL imperative on him 10 redeem this
forged paper. On the contrary, if repudL
ating is the word, we think he would be
justified in repud ,aiing it. This
cry OF reputation is grea, bugbear, but
we trust il will not scare The state OF Wis.

illegal acts of her officers. Every body

Remedy are next suggested for these

The expenses of the department from

1915, average S4,499, 500; and during the
year ending June Both, 1916, "a ,084 ,297,
being reduction when compared with the
actual expense Of the previous year Of
S236,434.
The saving made by the reduction Of
the cost in the new contracts in New Eng
land, New York the north and southwest
ern States, amounts 10 33 per cent; yet
The mail facilities have been increased.
Near one-lhrd of tho offices in the T..
). have been voluntarily vacated since the
passage Of the act Of Sd March, 1915
This is in great degree attributed to the
increased labor in the Offices and the d.
minshed compensation to postmasters by
it.
The report then proceeds with copious
detail of the business of the department;
states that the contractors for the transpor-
tation of the mails between this CITY and
Bremen, In ocean steamers, are rapidly
progressing in their work; and concludes
by recommending that the government get
The exclusive control Of The magnetic tele-
graph by purchase, or TINT its use should
