A Typographical Pilgrim.

The champion tramp printer has re-
turned to his old resting place in Troy,
New York. McGinity is his NAME, and,
according to a paper of hat city, his career
has been a remarkable one. Not only was
he in many Of the principal battles of the
late war, but be has set type in scores Of
towns and cities in America, and on every
leading newspaper printed in the English
speaking countries. He has made a pill
grimage Of the Holy Land, braved the
dangers Of the wilds Of Africa, picked up
diamonds in Australia, hobnobbed with
lords and ladies in Russia, drank beer with
the natives OF Germany and wine with the
inhabitants of sunny France. He has lis
tened to the singing Of the dark-eyed
senoritas Of Mexico and played draw-poker
with the sports Of the far West. In fact,
he has been everywhere and seen every
body. He carries q s~crapbook containing
newspaper mention Of his wanderings, and
if printed in book form they would make
an interesting history.-New York Sun.

In the case Of the Bodie Tunnel &
Mining Company vs.. the Bechtel and
Tioga Consolidated Mining Companies,
the Secretary Of the Interior decided that,
as the Tunnel Company filed no adverse
claim, 1t had no right to object to the issue
OF patents to the Tioga and Rechtel Com
panies, except as a protestant to show that
the latter companies had not proceeded
according to law in the matter Of their
applications for patents, and that 1t could
not settle up it's tunnel claim in the De
partment against the Bechtel and Tioga
Companies claims or rights to patents.
The Secretary held that generally there
can be no such a thing as q contest before
the Land Department as between two
mining claimants for the same tract OF
land. Such claims, being adverse, can
only be adiudicated in the Courts.

ing from the fact that it Melted the Gov
eminent during the last fiscal year the
handsome sum of nearly eight million
dollars. Such a result as this is possible
In France, because the territory to
be covered is comparatively limited.
and not less so because the service
has been honestly and economically
performed. Postmaster James calcu-
lated that by systematic looping off
and pairing down u postal service
could be made to pay its own expenses.
This is the utmost that the people Of the
United States expect for the present and
they will be satisfied with it..

Mr.. Blaine, Secretary of State, issued
q circular some time ago bearing ON the
relations of the United States to Chill
and Peru, in which he insisted upon the
traditional policy Of our Government not
to permit European interference in the
affairs of the South American Republics.
This was the gist of his famous paper
reafirming the extreme requirements OF
the Monroe doctrine, according to which
foreign control of the Panama Canal
would not be tolerated by Americans.
This generally received policy OF our
country has, however, been very Sc
riously modified by the Clayton ulwer
treaty with England. This treaty con-
tains a stipulation that neither Great
Britain mol the United States shall OBJ
tain or seek to obtain exclusive control
of an inter-oceanic canal through Mica
ragua, nor erect nor maintain any fortif-
cations along the line Of such canal. In
a letter to Mr.. Lowell, our ambassador
to England, MI. Blaine instructs him to
have this provision OF the treaty can-
celed. MIR. Blaine starts out to ignore
the existence Of this treaty-he must
have known that there was such a treaty
issues his grand diplomatic circular
barring all foreigners from meddling with
affairs anywhere ON the American conti-
nent, and after exhausting his energies
in this direction, turns about and asks
for the modification Of q treaty the very
existence of which made his circular abb
surd. The situation that he has manu-
featured for the United States is any
thing but pleasant. 1t involves serious
embarrassment. Which Of Mr.. Blains's
pronunciamentos is the English Govern
ment to consider? Can we explain to
the English how it is that we, through
our representative, have put out OF sight
van important treaty between the two
nations? Mr.. Blaine will have to admit,
to u humiliation, either that he was
not familiar with the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty or that he purposely disregarded
it in one of his State papers. The
English Government may presume that
Mr.. Blaine was sufficiently arrogant to
ignore the treaty, but that afterwards he
took second thought and deemed it well
enough to descend to more conciliatory
treatment. The truth is, Mr.. Blaine has
put the United States in a very seriously
false position. If our country was in
condition to back up Mr.. Blaine in his
extravagancies, the measures he proposes
are contrary to the law of nations and
impracticable. But should our Secre-
tary's diplomatic fireworks excite Eng
land to war, what would we do about it ?
Backed by France, Germany and other
European powers, England would find it
only too easy to assert her rights under
a live treaty and punish the Arsrican
people for the indignity with which she
has been treated by our representative
Secretary. Such a result is not impossi-
BILE by any means, though it is happily
not to be feared, as the people of
England and the United States have the
f~riendliest feelings for each other and
would hardly be made belligerents by
such a "bull" as Mr.. Blaine has created.
