The Post of last evening prints news item from
Mexico under the head Of "A Successful bull
Fight" The item states that an immense crown
attended the bull-fght ct Guaymas on friday anu
that 1.-THE principal toreador. named Fernando
Iopez was eored 60 death in the bull-ring." The
Posts sympathies in the fGht were evidently and
very properly on the side of the bull Had 1t been
otherwise. it would scarcely have named the ngnt
successful considering its outcome. IL Is GUS
tomary with the conventional bull to allow the tore
ador to achieve less easy victory over MIN.
But this was no conventional bull. He declined 10
play the part of an ancillary satellite. IL the fate
of the late lamented Mr.. Lopez serves to induce
Guaymas forthwith to abandon its attempt to es-
tablish SPANS leading industry upon its own SOIL
that poor gentleman will not have persisted untimeiy
in vain.
We congratulate the Hon. Samuel j. Randall
upon the tributes which his opponents are uncon-
scIously paying his trustworthiness and sincerity
In their comments upon his recently published an
nouncsment that he knew enough TO feel certain
that he would be elected Speaker. Other candi-
dates have made similar statements and have
given out that they considered themselves as good
as elected already, and offered figures to show 1t,
without making any impression on the public
But Mr.. Randall, rising to contradict some such
rumor remarks casually that he feels certain of the
sppakership, without giving fact or figure tor
it, and forth with hsopponents virtually give up the
contest turn tail and rum IL is hardly forty eight
hours since his announcement was published. and
the whole free trade opposition to him is standing
on its head, kicking the air. One of them seriously
proposes view of the certainty of his election
that the House take the appointment OF committees
out of the Speakers hands. As if House that
had enough confidence in him to make him Speaker
would Immediately vote that it had not conf
dence enough in him to intrust him with the chief
functions of the Office.

address that he was responsible for bis actions
" God has made me-" he said pathetically p" Ia one
way-that / must be with the under dog In the

public He acts like man who really enjoys roll
ing in the mud.
