Secretary Evarts has be en- suspected
of aiding and abetting the knaves and
fools who are endeavoring to Torment a
war with Mexico, and Mr.. Conkling's in
vestigatlon is mainly aimed against him. j..
But if Mr.. Evarts has any such idea he
certainly has the diplomatist's art of
concealing his thoughts. Not only so,
but he has given, very sententiously, the
best nossible reason why no such idea
should be entertained. Speaking, at
the New England dinner in New York,
of the part which this nation has to play
in preserving the peace of the world, he
said: Nobody that is powerful desires
to quarrel with it, and nobody that is
powerless is it possible for us to quarrel
with" This is all that he said on the
Mexican question and all that it was
necessary to say. 1t is not possible for
this nation, without a sacrifice of every
principal that has made and kept a ma
tion, to quarrel with powerless Mexico.

THE RIO GRANDE RAIDS AND HOW THEY

1t begins to be more and more plain
that all the recent outcry about Mexi-
can outrages and robberies in Texas was
the merest sham and pretense, intended
to open the way for a war aga inst Mexico,
which would have been public scandal
and a crime. The testimony of a num-
Der Of military officers before the House
Military Committee shows most positive
ly that for at least year or eighteen
months past there has been no trouble
on the settled parts of the frontier; there
have been no raids by Mexicans into
Texas and there has not been the least
excuse for threatening war with Mexico.
1t was reported the other day mere that
an officer serving on the border had said
that not hoof of cattle had been seen
stolen from Texas since the beginning of
the present administration, and General
Sheridan's testimony, literally bears out
this assertion,

THE SILVER DISCUSSION.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
"When the old silver dollar was de-
monetized In 1873 the words of the
law in which it was accomplished
were obscure and not capable of be-
ing instantly understood. There were
very ew persons who we're aware of
the movement to outlaw that dollar
The project was smuggled into the
bill as dexterously as ever pickpock.
ct fearing detection put the purse he
had lifted into the pocket of some in
nocent person. 1t is literally true
that neither House Of Congress knew
that 1t was demonetizing the dollar
when it was doing 80. 1t Is quite pos
sible for the Senators and Representa-
tives to be imposed on in this way.
Bills are not always read through at
any stage. When they are read
through they are frequently read hur-
riedly and muddledly; little attention
is given them. A great deal is trusted
to the honor and intelligence OF com
mittees. The confidence is misplaced
in some instances. The old silver dol
lar was demon etized, declared not a
legal tender, by a clause in an act
which was passed by a success of my
stery, collusion, and false pretense. A
| few Ring Congressman and the Treas
ury Departments of the United States
were only aware of the effect of the
proceeding at first. they kept quiet
about it until they had perfected all
their arrangements for making their
exclusive knowledge profitable to
themselves and their friends in the
money market of the country. When
the people were informed of the fact
that, by put up job. silvar had been
| demouetizedthe surprise was complete
| The wisdom of the or the unwisdom
of the act aside, there was never an
act of Congress accomplished by
means more sneakingly and fiagrantly
immoral. The House has as suddenly
and openly passed bill remonctizing
the silver dollar of 1868 as the Cor
gress Of that year secretly and unwit
tingly demonetized it. Though in q
thin House the vote was 163 to "a, q
surprisingly large one, and at the
same time by vote eff 143 to 48 the
House ordered debate on the bill, re
pealing the date clause-January l.
lS79-set for resumption, to begin al
once and continue a week, and thai
then the bill shall be put on its final
passage. II the effect of this proceed
ing could end just here, there is nc
doubt that smarting sense OF wrong
felt by the House would be appeased
The question of political economy
apart, it must be said that resentment
was legitimate. For a House TO be
