Turbulence In the Political Campaign.

At the opening of the campaign it looked as
though things were going to be very Hat and
stupid. II was hardly anticipated that the
gay scenes of 1910 would be repeated. The
campaign songs of to-day prove to be poor
and wishy-washy compared with those which
the inspiration of hard cider and the names of
''Tippecanoc and Tyler too" had produced.
But within the last week our electioneering
movements have assumed lveler tone and a
somewhat bclligerent one. In various cities of
the North professions of politicians, intent
upon clarifying their favorite candidates, have
been attacked by showers of brickbats and
stones. levelled at them by their opponents.
Such things have occurred in Troy, Philadel
phia and New London within few days to
professions of radical patriots, which is all
wrong; for although such arguments IA bould-
crs and brickbats convey may be forcible, they
are not logical and do most harm to the party
using them. Can II be that the democrats are
getting so desperate in the anticipation of de-
feat that they resort TO turbulence and brick
bats on the occasion of republican demonstra
tons? We hardly think so. They must have
sagacity enough to know that such measures
viii avail but little in contest where the free
exercise of opinion, intelligence and the right
OF franchise are the controlling influences which
will decide the election AT the same time it
Is not to be wondered at that disturbances of
this kind should he INDUCED in by the unthink-
ing crowd when the leading partisan news
papers on both sides, some claiming to be
highly respectable, philosophical and moral,
and others claiming their title to indccency in
language that fully establishes their claim set
examples of violence and bad feeling such az
have never before been witnessed in political
campaign We suspect, therefore, that bad
example and bad whiskey combined have had
| good deal to do with the late political ebul-
litions on the part of turbulent folks IN some OF
the Northern cities.

Dur Mexican News.

We published yesterday number of in
teresting letters from our correspondents in
Mexico besides telegraphic news from that
country by the way Of Havana. Mexico was,
in manner, photographed for our readers.
The letters were from the capital, Cordoba,
Vera Cruz, Merida and other points, and re-
dected fully the events and condition of every
part OF the republic. The readers of the
HERALD know more about Mexico than the
Mexicans Themselves The rebellion in the
State of Vera Cruz had failed and that in Yucca
tan had been suppressed though there was
likely to be trouble with the Indians on the
peninsula. Civil war seems to be at an end, for
a time at least; but the bandits were active all
round, and it was serious question with the
government as to what means could be used to
keep the roads clear Of them. The ministerial
crisis, as it was called, had ended, and LerdO
de Tejada was to hold the portfolio of Foreign
Affairs as well as To keep his place on the
bench of the Supreme Court. OF course there
is the usual batch Of murders, rObberies, sui
cides and outrages, including the foul assassi-
nation Of General Patoni, which created great
excitement
On the whole, Mexico appears to be in
better condition than for some time past
There seems to be sort of reaction from the
terrible ordeal of civil war and bloodshed
through which the republic lately passed.
This, however, can only be temporary. The
evils of Mexico are chronic and too deep
seated to be cured by the native authorities.
There is but one remedy, and that is annexa-
ton to the United States. Mexico cannot
maintain an Independent existence. She has
tried it for fifty-eight years, and has been going
from bad to worse all the time. Every con-
sideration of humanity, of the welfare Of the
Mexicans themselves, the development of the
vast wealth of that country and of a broad
and comprehensive policy on the part Of the
United States calls for the absorption of that
country. The great American republic must
become a continental Power, embracing the
whole of North America. The time has come
when policy should be inaugurated to carry
out this destiny, beginning with Mexico.
General Rosecrans should be instructed to
commence the work, and the government at
Washington should follow it up vigorously
till the object be accomplished.

put down and followed by just and reasonable
concessions it may do much to fan into fierce
flame the war spirit now seeking expression in
many other parts of Europe. The Eastern
question is one of the most delicate of all the
questions which periodically agitate the nations
Of the European Continent. 1t remains per-
petual source of trouble, because most of the
nations fear to approach it and because no one
nation will allow any other to attempt it's solu-
ton. Russia, though less impatient than she
once was to enthrone herself in the city of
Constantine, continues to regard such re-
suit as her manifest destiny. Austria, now
that she has become less of German Power,
looks more earnestly eastward, and it is not to
be denied that the acquisition of Bosnia,
Servia, Bulgaria, and probably Wallachia, would
be sufficient compensation for the losses she
has sustained in the West. But the advance
of Russia across the Pruth or the occu-
patton Of Belgrade by Austrian soldiers
would set Europe ablaze from the
Baltic to the Mediterranean. 1t is this
fact which gives European importance to
these Bulgarian troubles. In the event of
war breaking out between France and Prussia
it would not be difficult for Russia to detach
Austria from France by proposed partition
of Turkey north of the Balkan range. In pros
pect of such acquisitions both Russia and
Austria could afford to be Indifferent to the
fate of the Rhine provinces. Great Britain
and France are both of them pledged to main
tain the integrity Of the Ottoman empire but
in such case as we have supposed the hands
of France would be more than full, and it would
be hard for Great Britain at once to protect
Holland and Belgium in the West and to re-
sist the encroachments of Russia and Austria
in the far East. 1t would be curious if, amid
the general confusion, Napoleon were COM
PEELED to purchase the alliance of Victor
Emanuel by yielding up Rome to the Italians
1t would be scarcely less amusing to see Italy
and Spain fighting over the ruin of the tenn
poral Power. Surely if we are not to have
war we must have another French proposal
for congress.

and this is the capital that Browhapw works
upon, because he desires to work in that way.
Society has pests enough in the quarrelSpme
people who cannot carry the results of their Ill
nature beyond the domestic circle. 1t is pity
that the quiet of the country should be threat
ened by the prominence of such character in
public life; that the country should hear the
murmur of war, even though family, simply be-
cause an irritable, ill-natured, narrow minded
and pugnacious man happens to be Governor

The Terrible South American Calamity
Help for the Suffering,


Help for the Suffering.
The late terrible and disastrous earthquakes
in Ecuador, Peru and Chile have left hundreds
of thousands of people not only houseless but
utterly destitute. They are suffering from one
of the most fearful if not by far the most ex-
tensive and destructive series of earthquakes
in human life and the monuments and savings
of labor in the records of mankind The con-
dition of those people calls for immediate relief
The city of New York, ever prompt in her re-
sponses to such appeals, is called upon from
every consideration of humanity to answer
this cry for help which comes up to us from the
ruins of those twenty odd overthrow cities
and towns Of South America. We would
therefore suggest to our fellow citizens, espe-
cially our leading merchants, manufacturers,
mechanics, bankers and men of capital, an
early public meeting, say at Cooper Insti-
tute, to initiate movement for some speedy
assistance to those destitute South Americans
We would further suggest that at the meet
ing of Congress on Monday next, if nothing
else can be done because of danger of q
costly and unconstitutional precedent, that the
two houses by joint resolution, as in the case
of the Irish famine, authorize the President to
detail ship of war or two for the transporta-
ton Of such supplies as the people of our sea-
board cities may think proper to contribute for
the relief Of those afflicted South American
States. Under the peculiar circumstances no
other Indictment than the claims Of humanity,
we are sure will be necessary to bring our gen.
erous people to the rescue; but still we may
say that the contributions of great CONNER
cial community in such gracious charities are
always amply repaid. We may say, too, in
consideration of the friendly sympathies Of
those South American republics for the great
cause of cur Union through our late civil war,
that they have something more than the claims
of common humanity upon the people aud the
government of the United States.

WASHINGTON. &.
Reporl Of GeneraI I.oasseauaL 3

g'. 40. r'1g 81 WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. Q
Colonel R. B. Kuhn,1 of General Rous-
seaus staff, arrived last stGeveniug with the
Generals report of operations in his COM
mand; also his report upon the recent dis
turbances in Louisiana. o. These he to-day
delivered to General Grant, The Colonel
also had interviews with the PresideDt,
/ Secretary of War and seven of, the most
prominent members of Con gress. who have
arrived here, giving details derived from
personal observations in lew Orleans, all
+ of which could not well be included in the
Generals report.
Colonel KeelLe represents that the hos
tility of the white people of Louisiana
generally to present State Government is
most bitter and intense; that with the force
under General Rousseau's command dur
ing the recent trouble it was utterly i'm
possible to preserve the peace at all points.
Every disposition of his troops was made
and every possible measure taken to pro-
tect the people in their rights, without re-
gard Ito party. The Republicans did not
generally vote because they were advised
not, to attempt to do so by their leaders,
who believed they could not vote with
safety to their persons In this opinion
Gen. Rousseau c0ncurred, but with the
means at his command he was powerless to
establish a different order of things. a.sd I
/ General Rosseau was in constant converL
sation with; Governor Yarmouth. aud his
course met their warm approval, as it does
of all classes in New Orleans. is.--l Is
Colonel Keeler, states that up to date of
General Stedman's assuming charge of the
police that force was utterly worthless. 1t
was composed of 243 negroes and 130 whites.
No riots have occurred, and no city is
more orderly eandsquiet thar, New Orleans
since the change.
General Rousseau courts the mostsearch-
ing Investigation of his management of
Louisiana affairs during the recent trouble.
The General says there is no good foun-
dation for thereport of an organization in
New Orians to help the Cuban insurgents.
