MIR, Perry.


The alleged and ostensible ground of
Mr.. Perrys removal is the fact of having
directed to the president his recent reply t9
Mr.. Soue's letter. 1t is added, by way of
further justification that he referred in thar
reply, to matters of negotiation which he
was not authorized to present to the public.
The real cause is we'll known to be the soli
itation and pressure of Mr.. Soue's friends,
and the weak desire of the president to CON
clllate them by the displacement of an ndi-
vidua who is odious TO them personally
who is odious to the flibustering interest.
because of his having thwared MIR. Soule's
schemes and who, whatever his merits
as public servant, can command no votes.
Mr.. Perry, we believe, is native of New
Hampshire He behaved with distinguished
gallantry in the battles before the city of
Mexico, as volunteer aid of 1--WE thnk)
General Worth, and received his appoint
ment as secretary of legation from General
Taylor in 1919.
During the cminrnty croditable and sue
cessful mission of Mr. Barringcr, Mr.. Perry
was called on, if we remember more than
once, to perform the duties of charge, and he
did so, always with energy, ability and the
best results We noticed that the bill pro-
viding for his compensation for those Servi-
ces, passed the senate at its late session, but
was among those laid over by the house.
His present displacement, therefore, finds
him. as we learn, with his private resources
much impaired from the increased expendi-
lures demanded by his temporary promotion.
Perfectly familiar with the Span ish Lam
guoge, and with the public men and poll
tics of Spain having acquired the respect
and confidence Of those about him by his
manly and courteous observance of his Off
cial obligations, lie has just reached the
point at which he could be most useful to
his country. His connection by marriage
with perhaps the most distinguished literary
woman in Spain--the poetess Dona Caroh-
ma Coronado-has given him social and
personal advantages, invaluable at court
like that Of Madrid, and probably of infinite
service already to our government, as it is
likely no one knows better than Mr.. Pierce.
That, in the height of career of conspicu-
GUS usefulness and triotism-when the
deficiencies of the chief Of the embassy rem
der the assistance of Mr.. Perry more than.
ever indispensable, and the exgencies Of the
public service more imperativelv than ever
demand it, he should be displaced upon the
shallow pretences but for the real causes to-
which we have referred-is certainly enough
to fill all thinking people with regret if not
disgust. Regarding the matter, ourselves, from
no personal point of view, but simply as Il
thing which concerns the public, we cannot
but lament, for the sake of Justice, the course
which it has taken. Looking at the general
policy of the administration, we cannot say
that it surprises US. If we are not mistaken,
however, it Will be added by public opinion
to the long list of delnquencies which have
already made the Pierce dynasty sadly meme
rable.-I Bait. Amer.

A GREAT AMERICAN WAR STEAMER. 1t
will be remembered that during the recent
sessions of congress several new steam frig-

the course Of construction, and the largest is
the Niagara. The actual dimensions of this
magnificent vessel are stated to be as follows:

three feet four inches in diameter the main
yard will be 5o feet, and the mizzan spanker
boom 81 feet. The Niagara is constructed
wholly Of live oak, and the amount of ma

A CASE DEcIDED.-Judge Mclean, of the
United States supreme court, has overruled
the motion for an injunction to prevent the
Rock Island railroad company from building
a bridge across the Mississippi at Rock
Island. This decision probably settles that
question in this country for all time to
come, and in manner, too, that justice
and the interests of the majority concerned,
demand. The company will proceed at
once to complete the bridge, and put Chica-
90 in unbroken connection with the interior
of Iowa. The known energy Of those who
have the work in charge, insures its speedy
accomplishment.

THE RECENT ToRNADo.-We learn from a
gentleman who has just returned from the
scene of the recent tornado near this city,
that the accounts which we published at the
time, startling as they seemed, fell far short
of the terrible reality. Our informant start
ed from spot short distance from where
the house of Mr.. Page stood, and traced its
progress backwards.
All along the line of the tornado are scat
tered the evidences Of its immense destruc-
tive force.
Pieces of clothing torn to shreds, pieces
Of household furniture generally broken at
the joints and in some instances strangely
twisted, large boards and beams of timber
are strewn over the country for miles. The
boards are generally in marroao strips. The
beams are in many cases much wrenched and
twisted.
From these facts, added 10 those that a
large and strongly built house was carried
up in the air and completely demolished, its
beams rent asunder and the very stone toun-
dation upon which it stood, removed from
its place, we must come to the conclusion
that the force of the tornado was perfectly
irresistible Chicago Tribune.
