uent to degree whcto patience has censed
to be virtue. It's tolerntion OF these ont
rngcs without aggressive measures to check
and punish them has been owing parGy to
tho fact that they were committed In re-
mota and sparsely. y.setslcd community, aud
partly on account OF sympathy with Mexico.
harnssod by revolutions and changes in Gov
ernmenk But had the same outragos bcan
committed In New York or Michigan BY
Canndian bandits, and winkod at by tho
Government Of Great Britain, they would
havo brought on war years ago, and tho
United states would not haro waited for
England to strike the first blow on account
Of our refusal to tolerate them.
Az to the general theme Of annexation, II
is very evident to other people, II not to Mr..
BLAINE, that not only In tho Administration
not committed to anything looking In that
direction, but that thcro is not tho slightest
concern about II among tHs people. We
venture tho assertion that, If the question
Of tho annexation Of Mexico or nny part
thereof were broached in Congress, the
schomo could not get twenty votes from nll
sections and parties combined. Mr. BLAINE,
then, is lighting windmill. The only PROV
ocation ho can possibly cite Is publiahed
letter written BY Congressman soHLEicHER,
Of Texas, or expressing his viows, in which
tho idoa was advanced that the United States
should interest itself In sustaining some per-
mnncnt Constitutional Government in A1oxico.
since tho MoHnoB doctrine prohibits tho inter-
ference Of Europoan nations To that end. But
In this same letter, it VIC aro NOT mistaken,
thera Was distinct dissvowM Of any
purpose Of annexing moro Mexican
territory. It is true that In former
cases Of annexation the South was greatly
favored, and that Presidents electod by tho
South Disseminated unjustly against tho
North In compromising the Northeastern and
Northwestern boundaries; hut It Ia also true
that ovety scheme Of annexation now would
DO received with popular disapproval, md
probably at the South quito as much "a ut
tho North. Tho 8outhern incentive for an
nexation was lost with the abolition Of a1av-
cry, as their desire was mainly to gain new
territory for tho extension Of TINT institution.

QUESTION OF "1NHERENT RIGHT"

10 good deal too sweeping and too "bindln9, IL
It 10 Intended to be literally understood. That IN

that he shall net bc permitted 10 do what IA the in

We prefer 10 think that tho bloomington
Pantagroph, which Is generally fair In its
comments, misunderstands, and does not in-
tend to misropresent, tho Presidents Civil
Service order. Under tho terms Of that Or.
der, no officer of tho Government is "por-
mittod to taka part In the political organiza-
tions,-cauousca, conventions, or election
campaigns" That is all. Ifo is expressly
permitted by this order 10 vote, to express
his individual viows On public questions, to

ivo management Of party politics too
sweeping md too binding"7 II not, then
the Presidents order caunot bo fairly criti-
ciscd in that way, because that is all It pro-
hibita.
We mny differ with tho Panta0raph ns 10
what constitutes the "inheront right Of evory
citizon," which, It says, is interfered with by
this order. We do not believe 1t to be IN
"inhcrent right Of tho petition Federal Office
