Are We 10 he Naexicnnixed? ?

The wearinrss of waiting is som, thing
that collective masses OF men nowadays
can not long endure. Individuals may
exercise unhOunded patience because OF
their strong personal interest in II given
result, hut patient. long enduring in.
terest can not be maintained in the
minds of the whole people by matter
that concerns them, however deeply,
but only in their corporate capacity.
Thus it is that most people are sick and
tired of the unsettled Presidential prob.
lem. Politicians, personally and pecun-
iariIy concerned in the result, have
endurance enough to fight it out OH any
line that promises success, il it takes all
next summer. The people, who are only
interested in general way in seeing the
rightful government prevail, are weary
of the whole business, and would he
glad to have it ended now, and really
care very little which way it is ended
The office holders understand this wea
riDess OF the public mind exactly, and
they know that in it their opportunity is
found. Because the whole people are
weary Of waiting, the men in power may
settle the matter pretty much as they
please, as long as they do settle it. This
is unfortunate, but it is true. 1t is II
condition OF things that has been not q
little promoted by the growing con
sciousness that whilst right is on one
side might is on the other. The sturdy
Anglo.SaxOn practice of persisting trm-
ly, tenaciously and to the end, in de-
mands that right shall be done, seems to
be eflete hereab0uts. We have found
another, but not better, way. We have
become Mexicanized Not that we have
yet broken out into that kind of open
war in which it often happens nobody is
Killed, Dut certain IL Is that we have
submitted the gravest problem of our
Government to be solved by species of
tilibustering by which pretty nearly
every body is demoralized. Out upon
such q process! IF we would but stand
by the honest Anglo.Saxon sturdiness OF
our forefathers, we would taketo heart
the lesson that no end, however seem
ingly good, can justify the employment
OF evil means-that nothing but shame,
dlshonor and confusion of face can come
OF all endcavor to make two and two
appear equal to five, or to seek, by false
counting, to turn minority into ma.
jority. A little more of that sturdiness,
too, would enable US to persist to the
end in firm determination to see that
right Is done.-News Letter.
