POLITICAL NOTES.

Once more Anderson has proved too smart Tor
Stanley Matthews.
The public at once loses it's interest when Ander-
son declares that he is tired of lying.
squad Of policemen will be necessary presently
TO keep Mr. Potter's committeeman from blackening
each others eyes.
II Mr. Potter has no better luck than he is having
at present he will be likely TO initiate his predeces
sor Glover, and decline TO make any report "hat-
ever.
Congressman Nash gets off cheaply when his
friendship for Anderson costs him only pZ'O'O'
Stanley Matthews would be joyful enough to for
give even General Butler if he could free his score
for double that amount.
Chief Mcpherson, Of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing continues to earn and to receive handsome
praise for his economical and efficient management;
And yet he has never issued bulletin on Clyll
Service Reform, or posted hls virtue IN Jhe harAet
place.
It begins to appear to nearly everybody now that
the attacks upon Secretary Sherman and Minister
Noyes in the preamble of the Potter resolution,
were so entirely unjustifable to be nothing less
than outrageous. In Mr.. Sherman's case there was
no warrant for the assault except the charges OF the
worst liar which this country has ever had the mis-
fortune to produce, while IN General NOyess case
there was even less. No witness has been IOuhu
who can make even shadow OF charge against
him.
The Hon. Hendrick B. Wright gives as the chief
reason for his denomination tor Congress that he
"always distributes bread on every New Years day
to the deserving poor of his disrctand they do not
forget small favOrsp He predicts that be viii have
10000 majority, aud declares that the toiling

HOW NOT TO DO IT.

Strictly, the most meritOTiOus feature in the
record of the late session of Congress is that
it did so little. It introduced 5000 bills, and
sensible persons rejoice that it passed only
400. When Mr.. Dickens satirized the system
of government in Great Britain, insisting that
the chief end and aim of the CircumlOcutiOn
Office was "How Not to Do It." apologists
answered that, according to enlightened wri
ters, the best government is that which gov
erns least. Certain it IS that a great deal
better Congress than the one which has just
adjourned, would have been ono which re-
jected nine-tenths Of the bills by this one
passed. On the other hand, if anybody Is
staggered to conceive of a worse Congress,
let him only consider the consequences if
that same body had passed half or
even one-quarter of the bills which
it rejected. Undoubtedly it would be bet
ter if the National Debating Club had APP
preached more nearly to the perfection of doing
nothing at all. But, of all known contriv-
ances Chow not to do it," our annual as
semblage of the most talkatiye and unfit men
to make personal explanations and deliver
speeches at each other is by no means the
least effective. 1t can get through less busi-
ness in more time than almost any other pro-
fessedly governing body ever invented. And,
considering the character of the business that
it does, that is a real blessing.
If the chief end aud aim Of government,
and particularly of free government, were to
get anything done, quite different set of
men would be elected. During the war, for
example, when everything had to yield to the
great end Of suppressing rebellion, men we're

DETECTTHE METHODS.

The Comstock method of detective work is
certainly open to question. An efficient de-
tective police is a prime necessity of civiliza-
ton and voluntary societies may be valua-
BILE aids if under judIcious management.
Good citizens everywhere viii sympathize
with the objects of such associations as the
Society for the Suppression Of Vice, and with
the aim and motive Of Mr.. Comstock's labors.
He is undoubtedly entitled to praise for dis
tinguished energy, fidelity aud success.
But there are various methods of detective
work; and the morale Of the Comstock method
Is open to question. Not merely because it

There was some faith III committees because

The dangerous condition of our relations
with Mexico is brought homo to us by the
details of the recent raid across the Rio
Grande, made by Generals Mackenzie
and Shafter. 1t appears that when
forty-fve miles beyond the Rio Grande
they were met by a detachment of
Mexican troops under Colonel Valdez,
who informed them that he was instructed to
repel Invaders" and they must proceed no
further. General Mackenzie blunty ordered
him to retire or be forced to do so. Valdez,
who had an inferior support, yielded before this
threat Although General Mackenzie threatened
to return again, Valdez offered to escort him
to the frontier. and despite bis assur-
ance that be could take care of himself,
Mexican detachment followed him until
he crossed the border. Colonel Mac
kenzie is understood to have gone in
pursuit of horse-thieves. One report
says he recovered some stock, while another
declares that he made no captures. As
ne is at Fort Clark he will no
doubt explain promptly the circumstances
under which the invasion took place.
The affair should impel our Government TO
give renewed attention to our border troubles.
A chance shot might have converted this
bloOdless raid into serious conflict.
