The Revolution a Presidential Cam
palgn.

New York Herald
Mexico is in the throes OF u Preslden-
tial "election :" she is wrestling with
sort Of third term problem OF her
own, but she deals with it naturally in
the style characteristic of her people.
Her campaign clubs are brigades on
either side; her party platforms are
pronunciamentos, and her arguments
are forced loans, applied to convince
faithful, just as speeches on the
stump or articles in the papers are
applied to similar purposes in con
stitutional countries. Porfirio Diaz is
the candidate for the Presidency on one
side; the liberal, reform, civil service,
Investigating, honesty can
didate, Lerdo de Teiada, is the third
term candidate. 1t will not, in fact, be
his third term arithmeticaily if he is
elected, but he stands on the essential
principle of third termism-that q man
who has ruined the country ought to be
reelected at the instigation of his
friends and as an expression of the ma
tlonal gratitude for some good services
he did in years gone by He is in office,
and is, therefore, the candidate gener-
ally of the office-h holders, and he evil
IDENTIFY means to remain in office, IL he
can, by revolution, battle, murder, con-
SplraCy or any other constitutional
means known to the Mexican law. Diaz
will be remembered by our readers as
one of the heroes of the war against
the French-a conspicuous leader in the
arduous and obstinate struggle which
ended in handing his country over to
the dlsOrganization peculiar to IL half
Spanish Republic. He has often thought
that his countrymen should make him
President, just as the Americans did one
of their great leaders in the person OF
General Grant; and for their failure to
do this he regards his countrymen rs
ungrateful, but does not abandon them,
or rather he will not unless his present
attempt to get into office fails entirely.
On every occasion when Diaz's chances
have seemed brilliant he has been
set aside by accident, or intrigue,
or patriotic consideration OF one
sort or another He has yielded grace
fully to the voice Of his country pro-
nounced in favor Of some one else; but
now that Lerdo is disposed to hold on
tenaciously, with the voice Of the coun-
try against him, Diaz comes to the
rescue. Hence the turnout Of military
bands in 50 many States-the general
armed movement, in fact, which the
dispatches call revolution. 1t Is, in
fact, an election as nearly constitutional
as they ever get one in countries Of that
sort. IF the soldiers fire little they do
not hurt any one; not more than our
people do in firing q salute. 1t seems
very likely that the canvass conducted
on the principles Of general turnout
with firearms will result in the election
Of Diaz to the Presidency, and then all
will be tranquil again.

Rough, If True.
PHILADELPHIA Times. April 3

philadelphia Times. April 81
A German friend Of mine assures me
that the two colossal bronzes Of Pegasus
in front Of Memorial Hall were originally
intended for the roof Of the Opera
House in Vienna; that the committee
rejected them as being entirely un-
worthy to ornament even the roof Of
their Academy; that an American gen
tleman, in Vienna at the time purchased
them after their rejection for the price
Of the bronze, and then presented them
to the Park Commissioners. Is this
true, and can it be possible that what
was not good enough for the roof of an
academy in Vienna is to form conspi-
cuous feature Of the grand entrance to
our greatest art gallery? If SO, what a
sad commentary on American taste, and
what laugh will be created among our
Centennial foreign visitors particularly
the Germans) at the sight. Can we
afford to have them remain il the above
is their true history? H.B.

The Connecticut Election.
New York Herald.l


The Land Of Steady Habits yesterday
preserved itself to the Democracy, but
cut down that party's majority of last
year. This result had generally been
foreseen The rag money and prohibi-
ton vote showed that there were not
sufficient fools or zealots in the Nutmeg
State to give it very bad name. The
election confirms the opinion that the
Belknap scandal would have as little
effect in Connecticut as it had in New
Hampshire, and SO far at least,
Republicans. Over the election in
the latter State we fear the Republi-
cans rubbed their hands in corners
and said to each other that sit was not
much Of shower after all" but yes
terday's election warns them that the
test Of the effect Of administrative cor
ruption upon the popular vote is only
deferred until the election is national
one. New Hampshire is said to have
been carried for the Republicans by the
corrupt purchase Of votes. In Connec-
ticut this has not been the case with
the Democratic victory; but the di-
minished majority is a counterpoise
which it will be well for Democrats
to study. It is plain that the
country has declined to accept the
Democracy merely because Republl-
can rule has produced corruption. 1t
declines. and we cannot say unJustly, TO
decide between the rival claimants for
national supremacy until it sees some
thing more than investigating commit
tees and impeachment managers on the
side Of the Democracy. The Republi-
cans have still chance to win, but it
hangs largely upon the blunders and
possible shortcomings OF their oppo-
nents, and scarcely at all upon their
own merits. This, certainly, should
not be much for a party to base its
hopes on in country where patriotism
and common sense should be the corner
stone Of all possible national parties.
