glishmen, must be one who smiles
blandly, bows courteously, and talks
smoothly. But Mr., Blaine has seen
proper to talk as if he meant what
he said, and as if he were seeking to
make himself understood. He sees
no reason why dizziness should be a
necessity in a State paper. He may
be to American diplomacy what the
:. tom-boy' is in a family of girls,
but we confess that within due bounds
we have a great deal of admiration
for the {" tom-boy." She serves a
whole neighborhood as a prexenta-
tive of what we call "ihe blues and
we prefer little connection occasion
ally to universal stagnation.
If the E glish newspapers have no
worse criticism to pronounce upon
Mr. Blaine's letter than that it is dis
courteous in tone, they ought to take
a rest. The United States do MT
wish to tramp upon the tail of
the British lion, and our peo-
pie have no desire to provoke
-------t, but there is no impropri
ETY. in giving him to understand that
over here on this side of the
before Justice inEs9ams about
our - -~-.. 5eep on the
public highway and not lie in wait
for our possessions. John Bull is a
first rate fellow, q good neighbor,
and as he is pretty close kin to us,
we are rather proud of him, but he
is a little conceited, and thinks he
ought to be looked up to. That
isn't American style.

MR.. BLAINE AND THE ENGLISH
PRESS.

The comments of the English press
on Mr.. Blaine's arraignment of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty continue to
be amusing. They offer no substan
tial arguments in reply to Blaine, but
growl and roar and growl and roar
again bout the discourteous tone"
of the late Secretary of States letter.
They are shocked that in the discus
sion of international questions, it
should be done in plain, vigorous
language which requires no explains
ton. In ordinary matters, there
can he no objection to calling
spade q spade, but in court Ian
guags, the language of diplomacy, it
is necessary to use meaningless
terms ambiguous phrases, rhetorical
nothings and inoffensive double enten-
dres. A diplomat in the eyes of
these remarkably circumspect Ems

A PESSIMIST PREACHER.

ne Ne" 1OTh IetuOul6I Is Il very
ably conducted journal, but in politi>
cal matters it is profoundly pessimis-
tic. Its editor sees nothing good
and hopes for nothing good from the
powers that be- He is a free trader,
and sees nothing but corruption and
jobbery in the present policy OF the
government as regards the tai
if question. While he is opposed
10 the tariff laws he also favors the
abolition Of internal revenue taxes
He wants to See the tariff laws modi
fed but has no faith in Congress, be
lieying that that body is made up OF
men who would not be governed by
considerations Of public good, but
would act as their selfish personal
and pecuniary interest moved them.
Revision it does not believe would
be based Oh high grounds of public
policy but upon selfish and
sordid motives. The Methodist
evidently believes that the
devil is turned loose in this country,
and that his vice gerents hold the
reins OF government generally.
We have no doubt that his Satanic
Majesty exercises all the influence he
ought to in public affairs. He is well
represented at the seat of power in
the Ttate, and we sometimes fear that
his is not without potency even in
the church. He is not without
agents and supporters in the
various departments of life, and
is not by any means an uninfuential
parsonage. But we do not believe
that he is supreme ruler over all.
The national Congress is not made
up exclusively ofparagons of honesty
and virtue, but still we believe there
is enough virtue, Intelligence and
unselfsh patriotism in that body
that we may reasonably hope for
better things than the editor Of the
Methodist apprehends. We will do
so at least until we know
more of the present Congress
than can be now known. We pre-.
fer to give our lawmakers chance
before condemning them.
We do not share in the views of
chat class of pessimists who believe
that the world grows worse as it
grows older. We do not believe
that the race Of patriots have died
out, and that universal corruption
prevails. We think that there are
good men yet, and that some OF
them get into Congress. In
point Of political and per~
sonal morality, the Congress Of the
United States will compare favorably
with the Parliament of England, the
Reichstag of Germany Or the Assem-
bly of France. We have no doubt
there is room for improvement, but
we do not ''give up the ship" yet.
Wien Congress shows itself as un-
worthy of confidence as the editorial
in the Methodist implies, it will be
time to say something about it.

Stockmen OH the Missouri river
near Benton, Montana, have been
puzzled this winter at the disap-
pearance of so many of their cat
tie. A few weeks ago one of the
herdcrs, who was stationed at a
point on the river bank where the
cattle have been in the habit OF
drinking, solved the puzzle. AT
that point ice had formed while the
river was high, and after the wa
ter had receded there was a long
slope of ice, an ice chute, which
ended in an air hole in the channel
of the river. The herder saw
several hundred head Of cattle ap-
proach the place. The leaders Of
the herd stopped at the head of the
chute, but they were crowded for
ward from behind, started dowI
the chute, lost their feet and dis
appeared in the air hole. Before
the herder could interfere nine o
the herd had been sent into th'
river.

Terrors not so Terrible.

The ST. Petersburg tragedy has
proved an incentive to the sensa-
ton mongers of Europe. Ever
since that startling event the news
gatherers at the various capitals
have been emulating each other in
the attempt 10 produce something
which will excite the sated appe-
tite of the public. As samples,
we have the certainty Of England
being dragged into a war with
Turkey, the determination of the
car to engage in hostilities against
Germany, bomb-throwing in Mad
rid, republican revolution pend
ing in Spain, conspiracy against
the pope, and great alarm felt by
the British ministry at the quiet
ness of ireland. This class Of in
telligence is given one day, and
that is the last Of il; nothing more
is heard Of the matter.
The affairs Of the world 80 on
in their usual way. The Oriental
war-cloud is dissipating, the under
standing between Germany ano
Russia is apparently unbroken
the petard-throwing in Madrid is I
mere manifestation of disgrunt
led gamblers. Alfonso rests Sc
cure in the palace of his ancestors
and Leo. NH continues on IN the
even tenor of his ways. Glad
stones cabinet has got over it
fright over the preternatural calm
ness Of Ireland, if ever 1t wer'
disturbed. There will soon be al
end to this thing. The bewilder
ed public will cease to believe o
take interest in surmises, and tn
) news-gatherers will fall back oI
J facts, cold, dry facts; which, afte
} all, give most satisfaction

1t is very amusing to read the
comments of eastern journalists;
and indeed, for that matter, some
nearer home; upon the Billings
Willard fight. For instance, as a
sample cut, read the San Francisco
Chronicle: at was the purpose of
Billings to run the line of the road
from a point near the mouth of
Snake river nOrthwesterly Y through
a large and rich agricultural region,
and through the most available
pass in the Cascade range of noun
tains to Tacoma, OF some other
place at deep water on Puget
sound. This, of course, would
strike a severe blow at Portland,
on the Willamet, and sooner or
later take from it most of the trade
IL now controls. The blow would
fall with equal or greater force up
on the Oregon Steam Navigation
company also. The road termina-
ting on Puget-scund, and tapping
all the vast interior above The
Dalles, would divert from the
Navigation company's lines Of
river boats and its lines of railway
leading down the river to Portland
most of the traffic they now have
and all that they hope to gain
eastward by defeating the Billings
route of the Northern Pacific
Having said this much the Chron
icle draws into its shell with "thi.
is the fight as it stands" The
Chronicle ought to know that thu
most available pass referred to ha
not been found, and that the Oregon
Steam Navigation company wa
lost about three years since. Nj
Billings has been president. of tn
Northern Pacific company Ion:
enough, surely, to have done some
thing more than to avow his pur
poses. Mr.. Willard has been wit
as but brief period of time, We
he has almost finished the accom-
plishment of opening a new rout
across the continent, a cO1atiaaOu
lane, not from lake Superior t
Puget-sound, but from the Paci6
ocean TO the Atlantic.

People who use the success Of
the French loan as an argument
that this country might borrow all
the money it needs at three per
cent. either forget or conveniently
neglect to mention the fact that
the French loan Is issued at fifteen
per cent. below par. When the
United States raises a loan 1t wants
10 receive one hundred cents on
every dollar, and we had better, il
need be, pay q little more interest
than depart from the statutary rule
laid down. Perhaps a three PEI
cent loan would be successful, but
there is nothing in the experience
of France which proves as much

Following the mass meeting Of
the anti-monopoly league, at Coop
er Institute, February 2lst, the
New York Tribune published an
editorial condemning in severe
terms the purposes Of the league,
and stigmatizing them as ''beftting
the reds and communists of by
gone day in Paris, rather than the
free citizens of the United States. "
Feeling that this was eminently
unjust. Mr.. +. B. Thurber, AN Off
Ger of the league, sent commuhl-
cation to the Tribune controverting
the ground taken in the editorial:
but after ten days delay it was
finally refused insertion. Thomas
jefferson said: Error OF opinion
may safely be tolerated when
reason is left free to combat IT.
But when sinister Influences OBJ
tain control of a public Journal,
which ought by all past associa-
tions to be the defender of public
rights, and hearing is denied &c
IL II
those it condemns, we feel that the
only resource left the citizens of a
republic who believe in free speech
and free institutions, is an appeal
to that portion of the press which
is still free from the control 0!
corporate ownership, patronage anc
influence. Although Mr.. Thurbel
does not exchange with US, we
shall give both the Tribune article
and his letter TO the public, be
cause we are a practical believel
in the principles of fair play.
