THE PRESIDENT AND THE
PRESBYTERIAN

Tht Northern Presbyterians have
done right at last and exhausted moral
courage and Christian fraternal spirit
in giving expression to the fact. The
resolution presented by the committee
is surely broad and generous enough,
and if the Southern church demand
more, human weakness, however
strengthened and elevated by Chris
tlanity, could hardly concede it. They
say justly that their denunciatory re
solves were part of the insanity of the
war period, and wholly unbecomlng
the church and the Augustan age Of
Hayes. They "regrct that the terms
schism, hercsy and blasphemy" were
applied to their Southern brethren.
The conduct of these Northern enthusi-
asts and church people shows that the
political teachings of the President and
his generous policy have been recog-
nized even in the church and in tina.
church which has been much more in
accessible to partisan and sectional
passions than the Northern wing Of
the Methodist organization. May
we not hope since the influence of
the President has been thus benign
among Christians, that It's power for
good must be confessed even among
partisans2 If it reach the iron clad
Calvinists and Calvanistlc priests, even
of Chicago, may it not lessen the rage
of Blaine and Butler and Phillips down
East, and of Mills and Martin away
down South in Texas. Doesn't it
seem possible that while the fields of
Europe are blackened with battle
those of America may be blest with
the sunshine of JOY and lasting peace.
The conduct of those PrcsbyteriaLs
is significant of the tendency of the
times and of political as we'll as reh
gious thinking in America.

DIAZ THE MEXICAN CORRE-
SPONDENT OF THE NEW YORK
"HERALD.o

1t is strange beyond comprehension
that Eastern papers give credence to
stories involving the participation of
Gems. Mexia, Escobedo and others in
an American scheme of fiibustering.
The invasion of Mexico by hostile
solidate the whole country in behalf
of the perpetuity of Diaz's supremacy,
and we cannot help believing that the
author of those sensational dispatches
from New Orleans that appear in
the New York Herald, as "relia-
BILE" news from Vera Cruz and
from the Mexican capital, Is a
hired agent of Diaz. 1t is Diaz who
sends the story abroad that Escobedo
and Mexia are at the head of 5000 ad-
venturers IN Texas preparing to invade
Tamaulipas and chihuahua. These
two gentlemen are here, and many of
their countrymen have homes in differ
ent portions of Southern Texas. Il Is
natural that they should be here. Here
their own language is very commonly
spoken, and here climatic facts are
those to which they have been accus-
toned, and here Gen. MeXia is large
land owner. Moreover revolutions in
Mexico are often very violent and very
sudden, and while Gems. Mexia and
Escobedo have no followers or arms or
munitions of war, they do not know
how long the lawless absolutism of
Diaz may be maintained and they
would return to Mexico whenever
temptingly invited by any promising
revolt. Beyond this the whole story
about the projected invasion of Mex
leo by lawless adventures is utterly
false. No such movement IS even con-
templated in Texas and no prepara-
tions whatever have been made for its
consummation. Diaz, directly or in
directly, is the Mexican correspondent
of the New York Herald.

HE New York Herald says that "the
country begins to be aware that it has
to deal with a lot of politicians who
are utterly regardless of its interests,
and Jealous only for their own advsn-
tages. These fellows would make a
Mexico of the United States if they
had their way. Their policy is rule or
ruin, and they are now abusing Presi-
dent Hayes because they see very
plainly that he is not in sympathy with
them. We trust he will 60 on in his
chosen way without the least wavering.
He need not be afraid of the Bourbons
he need not conciliate them. He is
sure of majority of honest men in
both houses when Congress meets, and
We trust he will not suffer himself to
be coerced or bullied by anybody, but
that he will so ahead and serve the
country, whose interests he seems to
us to understand very WELL"

TIE Dallas Herald wants to know
why it is that large number of Texas
clergymen go North to spend the sum-
mer months, regarding the souls of
parishioners less precious during the
heated term than in other seasons. Do
these ministers only regard duty as
binding when it Is pleasantly perform
sd, or is it consequence of the lay OBJ
tusencss of the Herald that it regards
administration to mems souls as much
of necessity during the heated and
sickly season as during the most
pleasant and healthy portions of the
year. When the flock is in danger the
shepherd should be vigilant; otherwise
he becomes unfit for his responsibility
and would do we'll to leave his charge
to some other who more effectively
serves the Master. The STATESMAN
like the Herald, would have these mat
tiers reflected upon both by the clergy
and the laity.

Ae'es describes the Cossack as a yerv
unsavory gentleman. Bat Galatz is a
nne place, he adds, for taking the edge
of ones sensibihties regarding smells;
and one can get to windward of the
Cossack, which is more than one can
do in regard to the Galatz drains. The
Cossack is little chap, about five feet
five, even on his high heels, but at
once sturdy and wiry. His weather
beaten face is shrewd, knowing and
merry. His eyes are small, but keen
his mouth large, and between it and
his pug nose-rather redder than the
rest of his facets a tuft or wisp OF
straw-colored mustache. His long,
thick, straight halr matches his mus
tache in color, aud is cut sheer round
by the nape of his neck. Below the
neck the Cossack is all boots and great
coat. He is more armed than any man
Of his inches in Europe, and could
afford to lose weapon or two and yet
DC an average dangerous customer.
Weapon number one Is the long, black,
tlsgless lance, with its venomous head
that, seeing .itah'pnctorn cover, on ms
back, the stock downward. In his belt
is a long and well.made revolver in a
leather case, and from the belt hangs q
curved sword with no guard over its
hit. His whip completes his personal
he wears no spurs. He
rides, cooked up on a high saddle with
a leathern band strapped over it, a wIry
little rat of pony.

praise, and the people of Texas will

ORLEANS, SATURDAY, JUNE 49,

no statesman dares to mention. Owing
to the reports of the sale of five million
bonds for coin, and the Investment OF
this in greenbacks to lock up, the popu-
lar mind has become very sensitive to
any movement of the Secretary that
contemplates either present or ulterior
contraction.
We are half inclined to think that this
Ohio election has much to do with the
postponement of the extra session OF
Congress. We can imagine an anxiety
to dodge these dangerous political is
sues, especially on the part Of John
Sherman. AS chairman Of the Commit
tee on Finance in the Senate of the
United States he was never known to
favor any measure designed to benefit
the masses. He was always found on
the side OF the bondholders and capital
lists of the country. He is now working
on the same side, and we would distrust
any change OF sentiment made by him
at the present time. He is thoroughly
committed to the resumption act and to
exclusive gold payments to the bond
holders. We never did believe in death
bed repentance; nor do we believe that
Secretary Sherman is going to put him
self fairly, squarely and honestly by the
side Of popular sentiment in Ohio as ex-
pressed by the Gazette. The only way
the President can set himself right is to
give John his walking papers.

THE FINANCIAL POLICY OF THE AID
MHNEsTRATION.
TSt, Louis Times.I

An article appeared in Washington on
Saturday, which is said by the Chicago
Tribune to be semi official and to reflect
the financial policy of Mr.. Hayes. The
Tribune is good authority on that SUBJ
ject, as its editor was recently in Wash
ington, consulting with Messrs. Hayes
and Matthews in regard to the silver
movement. and has been made init
mately acquainted with the views of the
Administration. We copy from that
paper q synopsis OF the article referred
to:
eft represents that, whatever course
Mr.. Hayes may pursue regarding the
silver question. the business interests of
the nation will be protected that, in the
present depressed condition Of finances,
it is deemed wisdom, by postponing the
speedy payment of the public debt, to
reduce taxation; that the resources of
the country should be develors by ex-
tensive public Improvements that the
public securities should be popularized
by low rates, and that long term bonds
should be encouraged; that the silver
dollar should be remOnetized and the
greenback redeemable Herewith, and
that all bonds issued before or since
1873 should be payable in gold coin."
The statement that ''the business in
terests of the nation will be protected"
means that the bondholders, the na-
the Eastern capitalists have nothing to
fear from any plan for the remonetiza-
ton of silver that may be advocated by
the Administration for party purposes
in Ohio. The statement that ''the pub
lie securities should be popularized by
low rates" is so meaningless as to be
absurd. When the people Of a young aud
growing country, such as the United
States. can fud SO little profitable use
for their money that they are willing to
invest it in "public securities at low
rates." our condition of financial pros
tration is truly deplorable, and the
word 'spopularized" is strangely out of
place when used in connection with
ticle further Is that the silver dollar
extent of redeeming the greenback.
That is to say, it's coinage will be re-
sumed, but its legal tender quality will
be limited to that which is now pos
sessed by the greenback it may be
used to pay private debts, but gold
alone shall be sacred to the public cred
itor. This evident construction is rem
dered absolute by the further statement
that 'all bonds issued before or since
1873 should be payable in gold.'
The financial policy of the Admins
tration will be seen to be exactly as we
have stated it. It means that there
shall be one kind of money for the pri-
vate creditor and another for the public
creditor; one kind for the people and
another for the bondholder; that the
peoples money shall be silver and ma
tional bank notes, and the bondholder's
money shall be gold and nothing but
gold. It is both strange and startling
that the Chicago Tribune. which has
hitherto advocated the silver dollar, can
print this exposition Of the financial
policy Of the administrator without a
word of dissent or even of comment.
