They Cane stand the Prospect.

The people of Indiana have, il is said,
made up their minds to elect q republican
Legislature, and this is grief to the demo-
Gratis, who do not wish to see a republican
United States Senator chosen.
Well, the Indiana democrats have them
selves to blame. The people of their State
are not very particular, as everybody knows;
they have Blue Jeans Williams for their
Governor, and they had Holman for Repre-
sentative in Congress-, and are threatened
with Orth; but they cannot be expected to
stand six years more ofthe Honorable Daniel
Webster Voorhees,, "the tall sycophant Of
the Warbosh," as he is familiarly called in
indianapolis. There is a limit to human
endurance, and it stops just short of Daniel
Webster. We sympathize entirely with the
Indiana voters, who, with the strongest de-
sire TO support the democratic ticket, can
not bring themselves to elect Legislature
which would in its turn elect Mr.. Voorhees,
for six years more to the Senate. The blum
der of the Indiana democratic leaders was
in not handing Mr.. Voorhees, over TO the ro.
publicans long ago. When they offered to
make him United States Senator they ought
to have known that the people would 90
against them.

Long winded.

Long wind is capital thing in itself; IL
is useful in boat races, walking matches and
clearing-up gales, but in a sermon IL IL
manifestly out of place. 1t is necessary
qualification of an honest pastor, for there
is probably no other man who has such inn
peratve need of every staying quality; but
when the pastor turns preacher an entirely
different faculty is called for, one which
may be far more exhaustive in its effects
upon the speaker, but, on the other hand,
less likely to exhaust the listener for whose
sake alone the preacher labors. Long wind
in the pulpit works by diversions; instead of
waiting the speaker along it blows about the
pows until they are nearly empticd, and
those who defy it experience that stupidity
which comes from o steady buzzing ut the
ear. No amount Of wind in racehorse

whats sh~ Matter ia Mexseos

Terribly agitatcd is the terrible Mexican
people ; so that one may tremble to con-
slider the agonies Of their anger And the
United States is the cause Of it ALL and may
be the victim Of it for who knows but
some day these mongrel heroes may come
down upon MS and sweep us from the earth,
as troop of resolute and desperate mon
keys might trample down kerd Of buffa-
loes?
In view of the state Of Mexican opinion,
as shown in the recent festival Of the na-
tional birthday. 1t evidently behooves us to
look to ourselves for II appears that the
Mexicans are not only ready for war with
us, but determined to have it. Precisely
why It would trouble any one on this side
sis Of the present Mexican furry is some
what q mystery on this side the river.
What harrows up the souls Of the Mexicans
that they should be so particularly anxious to
pulverize us just now rather than formerly
Naturally we may suppose that the passage
of United States troops to Mexican soil Is
the grievance, but that is no greater
grievance now than it has been this good
while. II they want war about that why
don't they have it? What in the world are
they waiting for? Any nation jealous OF its
dignity on q point like that should either
fight at once when the outrage is done, or.
if not prepared to fight, shut its eyes and
not see what is perpctrated. But Mexico
does not fight and does not shut its eyes,
but only howls and whinos and cries like q
soundly thrashed cur; and all this over
events that have been in progress year or
two and are in no new stage of development
to-day.
But Presidential election is in new
stage Of development, and, of course, the
hatred Of the Northerner counts for great
deal in the canvass, and perhaps the can
didate that can assail our government with
the greatest virulence finds his profit in the
favor of public opinion. Perhaps that is
the real basis Of Mexicos terrible war fever

.1r They VIII Only Lot Us A,one."

"If They VIII Only Lot Us Aione."
It is Director Potter, of the broken Glas-
cow bank, who asks to be ''let alone" He
who, with his brothers of the Board, saw the
millions of other peoples money intrusted
to their care poured ont in the wild
est speculations upon phantom securi-
ties, now asks 10 be "let alone"
They we're ''let alone" too long When
the bank was taking acceptances by the
hundred thousand pounds at time they
wanted very much to be '.let alone )"
when these highly respectable peo-
pie were lending money upon cattle
on the hoof ranging the Pampas Of
South America they were unspeakably
anxious to be .Iet alone" A burglar at the
bank safe week ago would also have prayed,
if he ever did pray. to be ''let alone !" but
with all the opportunity to steal that he
could desire he could not have left such
a beggarly hole in the deposits as these
eminently respectable Scotch and English
men Of business managed to make during
the long time they were ''let alone" They
were "let alone" when cooking the balance
sheet. The wealthy and "canny" people who
got out of the sinking craft, getting their
poorer but thrifty fellow subjects of Her
Britannia Majesty to take their places, are
happy in the thought that they will be ''let
alone" when the assessments for losses are
sent around. Indeed, all concerned in
the management of the bank did
so much toward bursting it when
they were 'let alone" that there is little
chance of their being unmatched when they
are picking up the fragments. 1t is the
most refreshing thing for years, this Direc-
tor Potter's ''if they will only let us alone" It
is, however, approached in GOODNESS by the
official who coDgratulates tho British public

THE WEATHER.-The barometer is falling
very rapidly in the northwestern districts in
dicating the approach of a depression in that
section. The pressure is not yet very far below
the mean, but indications point to a severe dis
turbance in all the districts west Of the Mis-
sonri Valley. The Of high barometer
continues over all the districts between
the forty-thrd and thirty-fifth degrees north
latitude In the Gulf districts the pressure has
risen slightly, but 1t is evidently only tenn
porary there being marked indications of n
general fall in those regions during the next
few days Rain has fallen over the eastern
section Of the lake region, the central valley
and the Gulf districts and cloudy weather pre-
walls from the Mississippi Valley to the Atlantic
coast The temperature has risen decidedly
In the Northwest. Elsewhere there has been
general fall The winds have been from light
10 fresh throughout all the districts except in
the Northwest, where they have been brisk.
The weather will probably be favorable to the
decrease OF mortality during the next few days
IN the Southern yellow fever Districts but it
will possibly be followed by increasing warmth
and dampness. The weather III New York and
fts vicinity to-day will be cool aud partly
cloudy, possibly with light rains in the early
part OF the day and clearing toward night. To
morrow it will be cooler aud clear.
