RECALL OF Mr.. ELLswoRTH.-Th Pres
ident has directed the recall of Mr.. H. w.
Ellsworth, Charge ddfares at Stockholm, upon
the evidence Of his participation in the affair
which has recently been the subject of so
much justIand indignant comment by the press
This is, perhaps, the only instance in our
whole history, in which diplomatic agent,
clothed with slch honorable functions, has dis
graeed himself by an act, at once so contemp-
tible and mercenary. A mere official recall,
under such circumstances. is too lenient pun
isnment for so grave an offence.
Having deliberately forfeited all claim TO
respect or consideration by an attempted out
rage upon the laws of the government to which
he was accredited, policy and justice would
seem alike to require that he should be turned
over to the legal tribunals of his own country
and held up as an example Of the sternness
and integrity of our Institutions. If an Of
fence, such as that in which Mr.. Ellsworth has
been implicated Is tolerated with impuniiy
what estimate mist be entertained Of our ma
tional character by the people before whose
eyes the American representative was detect
ed in smugyiing.-Pha. ". american.
The OTHER SIDE.-The charge ofsmug-
Cling brought against our Charge d af
tdires, Mr.. Ellsworth. at Stockholm, is thus
disposed Of by letter from Mr. E., dated
October 18th, 1913, 10 gentleman Of Lalay
cite, In. We quote from the Lafayette
Daily Journal. For the honor of our coun-
try and 10 the credit of Mr.. Ellsworth him
sell, we hope that the statement is correct.
"IIe (says Mr.. E.. abiding TO gentleman
whose name is purposey wilhheld,) had the
impotence 10 forward all the purchases he
made during his journey, 10 my address; and
to expect that Iirould reclaim the same free
of duty! Such collection was never got
together before sweelmGaIs, silk curtains,
peticoats, new linen, maps, and go-carl for
children; carpets, hams, -four, and perlumery,
contained in about twenty trunks and boxes.
My answer was conceived and expressed
with more feeling than his own, and admit
ted of no reply. AS soon as recei, ed lis
communication, simply answered it as fol-
lows;
"'SIR: With the assurance that your po-
lite note of this morning has received all the
consideration il so eninenily deserves, am,
&C., n. w. ELLSWORTH
These few words threw hun into a vio-
lent passion and he is welcome 10 continue
it al his pleasure. My whole action in the
matter was right; and have therefore de-
termined 10 let it stand, without any attempt
at reconciliation. tits, in fact, q good finale

sidering the person who offended me, are
hardly worth alluding 10.

have been made in college affairs. Presi-
dent Sparks retains his office of Professor
of History, and Professor FeLon has been
appointed regent or Vice President, in or
der to relieve the President of some Of
his minor duties. The classes have what
are called class tutors, who have general
supervision of the class to which they are
assigned. President Sparks bids fair TO
be exceedingly popular, as he has frank,
open and interested manner, which takes
very much with the udents.-SPriHg-

ELECTION OF U. S. SENATOR BY THE
PEoPLE.-The following Joint Resolution has
passed the Senate of Wisconsin by vote of
IL to 8:
"Whereas, 1t is more in accordance with our
republican institutions to give to the people
the power of electing all officers of govern
ment as far as practicable; therefore
'ResOtred, That our Senators in Congress
be instructed and Our Representatives request
ed 10 propose in Congress an amendment to
the Constitution of the United States to the eff
feet that the people instead of the Legislatures
of the several States shallhereafter elect their
Senators in Congress, by general ticket"
Thus it is that the restless spirit of innova-
ton is constantly seeking to break down the
beautiful order and harmony of our matches
republican system, for the unrestricted indul-
gence Of a wild, insecure and revolutionary
democracy-the worst of all the possible forms
OF human goyernment.-NeUarED Daily Adr.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS cABINT.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CABINT,
The doctrines of Loco, Focoism tend 10
make Of the President Of the Uniled States
a monarch more absolute than any other
to be found, at tins day. nearer Than ST. Pc
tersburg. Gen. Jackson gave expression
TO them, in the strongest terms, when he
said, /" my cabinet is an uni" and he act.
ed upon this supposilion, when he turned
out Mr.. Duane, for refusing To carry into
execution project of his own. y,
The older Presidents did mol entertain
this high opinion of their preroganve.
They thought the cabinet given them BY
the constitution. was designed TO assist
them in their deliberations. They did not
consider them as mere catspaws, TO he
thrust IN the fire for any purpose which
they could moi achieve with their own
hands. We are reminded OF this, by the
following extract from The correspondence
OF the New York Herald: Rich. Wing.
For weeks past the President has been
daily accused Of being an imbecile, fool.
Nero. &C.. &c. !, is rather late. in the
dag to bring such charges. The people
of the United States can well appreciate
the character Of The man who led our gall
Ian. troops to victory in every battle where
he commanded. they can value the mo.
desiy and thc.h!,h tones which honor had
