WHERE'S THE NEXT WORLD TO CoNQUERS
Our namesake across the river is q wonderful
fellow; he was delighted when there was lost
Livingstone in an African jungle, and away went a
commissioner at a moments notice, with carte
blanche to draw dd Ito. until Livingstone was drawn
out; and he was drawn out 50 far as he would con-
sent to be. Then Spain was thorn in the side Of
Cuba, and of goes Mr.. O'Kelly. The HERALD Is not
confined to enc pathfinder. Mr.. O'Kelly viii drown
the shamrock this st. Patricks Day in q sugar vat
II his life Of which OKelly seems so regardless, Is
spared. Then there was especial" to turn up from
the lava beds OF Captain Jack, with formidable
page of dOuble-leaded matter Of Jacks coming and
his going and OF the prospect OF peace or
chances Of war. DO these HERALD Commissioners
wrap themselves up In the columns of their paper
rs Kirby used to wrap himself in the American flag
ut the B0wery Theatre, and so disarm tomahawk
Of Captain Jack, lassOO Of Captain General, and
the fevers and implements OF war Of Central
African To verify there Is protection in the
NEW YORK HERALD; 1t must be, as Mark Twain
would say, the elixir Of life.
Our present point with our namesake Is that In
to-days issue OF that sheet President Grant takes
the place Of Captain Jack and OF LivingstOne-the
President Of the United States has been caught and
was most successfully interviewed. We Will ex-
cuse the commissioners when he tells Ulysses
that the 'Iate inaugural has given general salts
faction to the country" The Commissioner had .
deep game to play. and started automatically. To
make long story Short the President does not see
any need for a change in the Cabinet. Boutwell,
goes to the Senate, but his policy will be carried
put. The President thinks we have financially
been success, and SO he is in favor Of 'let well
enough alone" Then as to Spain the President
fpDn t1o nit Cpa do. In
teels that our ympatny-sympathy Is q cheap COM
modity-ought to 20 to Cuba, and he thinks that
before another year Spain will see that Cuba may
20 on its own hook without detriment to either q
monarchy or q republic in the old land.
In the matter OF St. Domingo the President
does Q big thing for the SANTANA Bay boys; the
Head Of the Nation thinks that in ten or Arteen
years this country will take the bay OF the hands
Of the boys at ten or fifteen millions. How Mr..
Rowland Hazards eyes beamed with gladness
when he read the prophecy OF Ulysses. Rowland
IL was that manipulated the trade, and he Is sec
rotary OF the company
The HERALD Commissioner further extracted
from the President tnat his private affairs need
some attention; he Is going to ST. Louis; he can.
not 60 South, nor can he 60 TO California, where
urged him, too, TO call and see Mr.. Brigham and
all the Mrs. Brighams on the way. The President
cannot 60 and see them, but Brigham and the la
dies Will learn from the HERALD to-day that they
will be expected to obey the laws. We will say
s'anlen' TO that.
The President does not apprehend any more
trouble in Louisiana. Perhaps he thinks there has
been trouble enough. For ourselves, we dc not
see that the Gulf State Is out OF the middle yet.
And SO the opinions OF the President are before
the country to-day they will be tclegrapncd far
and near; the broker OF san Francisco, as he
lunches on raw ham, will read the HERALD Com
mlssoners story. Brigham, calling ON Mrs.
Young No. Flity-nlne, Will shed tear at the pros
pect In store Tor the one husband and many wives,
as though the wives had not woe enough. The
CABLE too, will bear the news across the big sea,
and Gladstone, as he calls with sad and not glad
heart on Her Majesty to receive her commands,
will regret that the failure OF ministerial meas
ure" In England should be the death OF the MIN
istry. "See, Your Majesty" quoth Gladstone, ''in
America they survive the failure OF pet schemes of
the President. Ulysses wanted st. Domingo; ne
sent commissioner down there; the commits.
sioner reported iavoraby but the country reported
adversely; the measure was lost, but the govern
ncnt did not go out; there was no general cleo
tion." The queen. mayhap, tells Gladstone to
bear up; that, perhaps, by and by there would be
change In the British Constitution.
But we have got away from our starting point
our namesake across the river. The HERALD Is
great, and forty cents line, cash down, Is the
