The Press and the Mexicanizlng
Policy.

r.
The press of the country is divided
into three classes Republican, Demo
cratic and Independent. Upon the
Mexicanizing policy of the House OF
Representatives, the latter sustain
the former. We discover no excep-
ton to this rule. The Times of this
city condemns the Potter infamy in
unmeasured terms as pernicious and
suicidal. So does its Philadelphia
namesake; also the New York Herald.
If there is single voice raised out
side the inner circles of the democrat
ic party in support or approval of this
stride toward the Mexico style of pol
itics, it has failed to make itself gen.
orally heard.
While the republican party isa unit
not only, but draws to itself by the
force of events the support of very
consid srable non-partisan element, the
democrats are divided. The large ma
jority of the party regret the action
of the House last week. An impor-
tant democratic convention at Gen.
tralia, composed of representative
democrats from the stronghold of de-
mocracy in Illinois, fatty refused to
approve the policy. Speaker Randall
has gone to Pennsylvania to induce,
If possible, the convention of his own
party and state to pass an approving
resolution. The press of the party
shows plainly that the pill is bitter
one for the democracy at large to
swallow. The men who are outside
the malaria of Washington know
very well that the people have some.
thing else to do than to alternately
shiver and burn with political ague
and that the issue forced upon the
country for the approaching Congress
sional election will compel good
many democrats, besides the fence
riding republicans, to vote the repub
lican ticket.

LONDON, May 2S.-Atiairs at Con-
stantinople begin to look less dan
gerous. The advance of the Russian
cavalry to Piringi, which the Turks
understood to be AN attempt to seize
Pirgos, with view of commanding
the road to KAYAK, lie now disavowed
by Gen. Todleben. Gen. Schouvalotf.
who ordered the occupation of Pirin-
III, is declared TO have exceeded his
authority and committed an indiscre-
ton. The Russians have withdrawn
from Piringi. Gen. Todlcben is said
to be exceedingly careful to prevent
anything which would cause suspi-
ci0n or create irritation. The with
drawal from Piringi and news from
European capitals have SO relieved
the previous tension that little fear is
now entertained Of an accidental col
lision. Both Russian and Turkish
officers are INDUCING in pleasure ex-

cOlilOTt dIlu Dtduty. lHe NOTuHWcSt'
ern has one exceedingly strong hold
in the ightness of it's grades. Per.
haps it may be said with accuracy
that no road running east and west in
the State can haul SO many cars with
a single locomotive. We may as well
add here that Cedar Rapids is most
fortunate too, in the possession of the
Burlington, Cedar Rapids and North
ern railroad, which is the strongest
and best north and south line of road
of any considerable length in the
State at this time. 1t has the advan-
tage over the Central of running
through much older and more pop
ulous country. Under the excellent
management of Gen. Winslow, man
well known in railroad circles, this
road is thoroughly on its feet, with
a good round surplus in its treasury
and is extending its lines, by way OF
feeders, quite rapidly. 1t is at pres
ent looking out for coal-fields via
Iowa City, in this direction, and it
is not at all improbable that at an
early day we may be called upon to
aid her in coming this way, and we
know our people will be glad to well
come her among us and aid her in
the enterprise.
Now we come to speak of that lit
tie queen city of the Hawkeye State,
Cedar Rapids, and yet this arti-
Gle is too long already. We
must be brief; and the first thing
we have got to say is, don't fail
to take that city in your route when
ever possible. 1t is prettier, more
homelike, and a more enjoyable So
journing place than we can describe;
besides it is a rafting manufacture
ing business town. 1t has various es-
adjustments that would be wonder,
even in large metropolitan cities; we
confess to having been surprised
at the extent Of its manufacturing
and business interests and captivated
with its beautiful streets, its elegant
residences and surroundings, its mas
sive business blocks adorned in the
most modern architecture, its elegant
hotels not surpassed certainly in the
State of Iowa, and finally the life
pulse of enterprise and push which
pervaded the entire community. We
cannot particularize but may be par
doned for saying that we visited the
Republican and Times Offices, and here
too, we found ourselves surprised as
well as elsewhere. They are model
offices and their job departments are
especially excellent. We shall never
go around Cedar Rapids if we can
avoid it, but shall go straight for it
when possible. We like it.
