SCHOLARS IN POLITICS.

A learned Professor belonging to a Phi
Beta Kappa society, domiciled in the city oil
Boston, has recently eliminated discourse
upon the fact and philosophy of the scholars
absence from the field of politics. In glancing
over neatly printed copy of the discourse we
are chiefly inspired with wonder that it was
neatly printed, or printed at ala phenome-
non which, however, We can reconcile with
the fact that it was the doing of Phi Kappa
Beta society of Boston. The undeniable
scholarship obvious in the production carries
its own solution. The measure OF common
sense involved in the whole proceeding would
60 very little way in politics; and the curl
GUS reader, accepting it as demonstration in
place of an argument, would conclude that
the scholar had no business in that field.
We can conceive something of the violence
which the fitness of things would
undergo in forcing the New Eng
land scholar, the student OF an era
just past, into the present domain OF New
England politics; where the first object he
would encounter would be the exalted and I'M
defed statesman of his mental sanctuary, and
hero of his secluded worship, in the person
of the heroic Governor of Massachusetts, so
often modelled in his "airy meditations, fancy
free'' 1t would be rough on the student, the
thinker and builder of thought realms, who
had drawn his inspiration from the histories
and traditions of reputable past, near or re-
mote, of whatsoever cline or people, to have
to settle down in that much coveted field on
the hero and statesman of modern New
England.
The Professor, however, seems a sort OF I'M
der-graduate in this college OF learning and
is weaned doubtless from the early concep-
tons of the student mind. He recognizes the
absenteeism in question and, remote from the
standpoint of the politician, deplores pain
fully the absence of the scholar in govern
ment. In his mental resource he falls upon
panacea which seems a complete cure
all to his anxious mind. 1t will
strike our readers, however, that it is
the boy building his Babel with blocks who
will never get to the confusion of tongues, or
as the little fellow who, with his pop-gun,
storms the batteries of some stubborn Gibral-
tar and will never force its surrender. The
Professor discovers that the proper sphere of
the scholar surrounds politics, rather than is
contained in it. We may say that he would
reverse the scriptural precedent and restore
the statesmen's Paradise Lost by giving il
freely of the fruits of the tree of knowledge
whereof they might reasonably eat, having SO
long eaten leeks. But all the wisdom Of the
suggestion is in keeping the scholar outside
the demesne of politics. Here and there
wave from the Pierian spring would ripple into
the muddy waters, but-cui bono? AS we'll
might the Professor seek to administer
specific to the turbid wrath of the old Father
of Waters as cleanse the polluted sea Of poll
tics by means of any refined or scholarly pan
aceas, or of all the appliances of scholarship
which convention Of all the Phi Kappa Beta
societies of all New England could invent or
devise.

THE question whether the Treasury depart
ment can legally withhold the pay of Con-
gressmen indebted to the Government assumes
a serious phase when viewed in the light Of
public policy, which shows clearly that such
an action may be reasonably considered inter
ferance with constitutional prerogative.
Telegraphic reports are to the effect that the
First Comptroller Of the Treasury assumes
that the Government may retain such salary
while the Solicitor of the Treasury is inclined
to doubt the legality of the Comptroller's de
cision. Secretary Folger now has the subiec
in consideration.

THE MEXICAN TREATY.

There is no doubt that the country is at
tracted with peculiar yehemence toward Mex
leo, and the treaty making power seems called
upon to give expression to that good will by
an interchange Of benefits mutually desired.
Capital leans in that direction, and all COM
mercial impulse tends to rapid solution of
the Mexican problem. Railroads are CRATE
full offering which capital brings to Mexican
industry, the coveted means of transporting
her products to American markets and finding
American manufacturers ready for exchange.
The treaty, now in allegiance, which has ex-
cited great interest throughout the country, is
the first fruit of that mutual good will sprung
from present conditions.
There has of late, however, arisen very
decided opposition to the Mexican treaty
from a conflict Of interests for the most part
in sugars. The special interest Of the Amer
lean planter conflicts with the exemption from
duty of Mexican sugars, as also of the Cuban
planters, which latter fails, of course, to find
expression otherwise than through combina-
tons OF other interests that may give support
to its own. 1t is the American rehner has
the largest inducements offered him for
promoting the treaty stipulations. The Euro
pean hostility to every interchange of Mexican
cordially with Americans has, of course,
arrayed against it whatever influences may
operate to retard and, if possible, to defeat
the measure 1t lies chiefly in the opposition
of the press in which patriotic Mexicans are
warned of the plastic uses Of American infu,
ence. But these efforts are lost upon the
Government, and there is no present cause
for apprehending any i'll consequences from
Mexican political intrigues or chicane. The
Senate of the 4Sth Congress will, we trust,
deal wisely with this treaty question.

We HAVE St. Louis legend Of one Kring
who, seven years ago, murdered his mistress
and was tried for that offenSe. His conviction
followed, from which judgment he took, by
writ of error, an appeal to the Supreme court
of Missouri. In the Supreme court the tran
script was pulled to pieces and flaws were
found in the proceedings. 1t was ascertained
that Kring had not been legally convicted. In
the meantime he had been sentenced to be
D.. hanged, and the gallows was large loser in
the judicial outcome. On new trial issues
were changed; Kring had ceased to be a
murderer and was an applicant for life tenure
in the States prison. Gradually the question
of validity in his title TO even the poor salts
faction of serving the State of his adoption in
the uniform of convict for a series of years
seemed, as a fatality, to have been sprur g.
We see he is remanded to the custody of the
court quo. And what the court a quo is go
ing TO do with Kring is now the conundrum,
THE action of the State department rela-
tive TO the execution of the warrant for the
arrest of P. J.. Sheridan, who is charged with
being implicated in the Phoenix Park assassin
alton, is commendable. BY refusing to arrest
Sheridan till assured there was positive proof
against him, which has not been offered, the
department has established grounds for be-
lieving life and property as sacred in this
country as it has been represented to be-
Thus far the proceedings have been merely
preliminary 10 hearing upon the merits o.
the case, and it is understood that our Govern
ment reserves the right to predicate upon The
evidence adduced an opinion of Sheridan
guilt or innocence and grant or refuse the ex
tradition demanded. AS these facts have
been communicated to the British Govern
ment it is not probable that the matter will be
pressed unless that Government is sure it car
prove to the satisfaction of our State depart
ment that the extradition of Sheridan will be
an act Of justice.

The Score Of the Game of Yale vs. New
 

The Score Ofthe Game of Yale vs. New
 York League.
 Yesterday afternoon at Hamilton Park was played very interesting game of base ball between the New York league nine and the Yale nine At 3:1O the Yales were in posi- ton and the ball was pitched with Ewing at the bat. He was put out at first base by Griggs'assistance. Connor andWard were then retired. For Yale Hopkins got first on an error and stole second finely, but was put out at home. In the next inning neither side scored and the game began to seem tire some to those among the spectators who liked to see runs and excitement In the third inning the visitors scored three times by means of hits and Yales loose playing, and Carpenter, Yale's able center fielder, made @ run. The New Workers followed up their advantage by making two runs. In the sev- enth and eighth innings Griggs and Terry made fine double plays. Carpenter made an- other run by the help of an overthrow to first by Caskins In the ninth inning Jones drove the ball by long hit through the left field, and got run on it. bringing in Hop- kins. Altogether the Yale nine showed an improvement in batting, but were very care, less in base running. Jones' pitching seemed to lose it's effectiveness for several innings in the middle of the game. Griggs and Carpen- ter played well. The New Workers are heavy batters, but their fielding is careless. Ap- pended is the official score:
