THERE has been number Of rumors cur
rent in Washington Of late respecting the
affairs Of Mexico, and more particularly in re-
gard to a treaty that ii was alleged had been
secretly negotiated between the Mexican Re-
public and the German Empire, by the terms
Of which the Empire substantially guarantees
the integrity Of Mexico. The rumor goes on
to say that the treaty has been effected against
strong circumstances by the American Min
lister in the MEXICAN capitol, who Immediately
setting forth the facts, and that the whole
matter has been concealed from the country
by the Washington Cabinet. The Chicago
Times, speaking on the subject says {:
"Of course. the American government can
assume no right, nor be supposed to have any
inclination, to interfere with any affair Of the
Southern Republic. That Republic has the
same freedom and independence in relation to
all the political powers Of either hemisphere
which this Republic has Moreover, It has
the same interest and motive this Republic has
in conserving, in all its legitimate meaning,
that doctrine which looks upon any interIer-
ence or any completely Of the monarchcal
powers Of Europe in projects TO extend their
political systems upon this continent as acts
unfnendly to the Republican peoples who
righliully dominate it. This spirit the Mexi-
can Republic, under every administration, has
always shown. Even when torn by civil dis
sensions and revolutionary factions, the Mex
lean people have been united in unyielding
hostility to every form and color Of project by
foreign monarchs to gain footing or an
undue influence in that country. The
heroism, the unhnchiug and answering
resolution displayed by them under
circumstances the most disheartening in the
struggle against the attemptto set up branch
Of the Austrian imperial family in Mexico, at
tested this, not less than their spontaneous
gratitude toward America, evoked by the
exertion Of Its good Offices on their behalf
against that European enterprise. And the
promptness as well as the warmth Of the &C
cep,ance of the Mexican government of Mr..
Blaine's notable invitation to a general con-
vention of all the independent States of the
two American continents, with a view to
closer relations in the spirit Of that American
theory, was a further attestation of the same
fact. 1t would be strange if should be found
true the rumor that Mexico, so soon after
having demonstrated its capability, unaided
by any but moral forces lent by its stronger
neighbor, to maintain by its own strength its
own political integrity against an European
monarchy, has abandoned the sentiments it
has so long held in common with other
American Republics snd contracted with
another European monarchy to guarantee its
political integrity"

The Meridian Blade does not admire the
sensational journalism of the day and says
the publishers of the dailies now spare no
pains or expense in getting reports of every
sensation or scandal that occurs. 1t thinks the
result will be that respectable people will soon
be forced to exclude the daily papers from
their homes unless a reform takes place
Whereupon the Brennan Banner observes
that the large daily papers are the best judges
of the taste Of their readers, ana they publish
such news as suits the popular taste. 1t is
the people and not the papers that are to
blame. The papers don't make the news;
they only print it.

THE indianapolis Republican truly says
that free trade is beautiful theory, but more

As expounded by college professors it abounds

trade, but don't want it enforced"

CONSIDERABLE discussion is being. had by
the English press regarding the trial OF o Don
nell, the SLAYER Of Carey, the informer, and it
is questioned whether or not that he can be
tried in South Africa, and a conviction Sc
cured, as there are large number Of Irish
men there, and good sum of money has
already been raised to deiray the expenses Of
his trial. The English authorities are consid-
ering the adysability Of bringing him to Lon
don for trial, and the only thing in the way,
is the fear that Government State trial there
might throw such a glamor over O'Donnell's
deco as to not only secure a jury disagree
ment but also encourage the avengers. Mrs.
Carey and her children will be brought back
by the Government and pension will no
doubt be given her.

THE Utica Observer, with considerable
pertinency, remarks "They have only two
newspapers in Saratoga. But when IS young
immigrant women arrived there, through the
lying representations OF rascally agent that
they could get positions in hotels, hungry,

papers mustered reporters enough to find and
lodge those friendless girls at a hotel until
places were found for them in Saratoga fam

Porters have a surplus Of money, but they have
hearts big enough to do good deal more in
