" HAVE MOE HAD OUR STARE. -

Consul-General Sutton, at Matamoras, in
his report to the State Department at
Washington, says 1--WE have not in the
past had our fair share of Mexican trade.
There is no denying this, yet we End men
and journals opposing closer commercial
relations with Mexico, and the shutting
out Of millions of trade, for fear that sugar
interests may be injured to the extent of
few thousand dollars, or that here and
there a dealer in merchandise or a plo-
ducsr may find in Mexico a close compel
itor, This is the narrowest possible view
of national interests. The sole question
is, VIII commercial reciprocity be of ben
eft to the mass of our industries? The
unanimous reply of all our Representative
in Mexico is in the affirmative This judg.
ment is fortified by the figures of imports
and exports, and by the bitter opposition
the European representatives make to our
admission to like privileges with their
own countries.

SOME WISE CHANGES.

The United States, England, France,
Germany, Switzerland, Italy and some
other countries were represented at the
Geodetic Conference held at Rome not
long SINCE One of the chief topics there
discussed was modification of the pres
ent system of reckoning the degrees of
longitude. 1t was finally agreed by a
strong majority to change the system of
reckoning so as to abolish the terms east
and west from Greenwich. This was a
wise conclusion, and the wonder il that we
should so long have adhered to the cum
brous system of q division of the designa-
lions of meridians. Under the new sys-
TEN the meridian of Greenwich will be
taken as the standard from which to reckon
longitude, and it will be the rule to reckon
it hereafter from wet to east, Greenwich
being, as now, zero, but also $50. Thus
there will no longer be east and west longi-
tude. For instance, the meridian of Sacra.
mento was about l22 west under the late
system, but under the new it will be about
the 242d degree. Washington is now y
west, but under the modified and simpliied
system it will be the 2S3d degree of longi.
tude. Another innovation made by the
Convention, and which received very
large majority vote, was the resolve to
reckon the day from midnight, instead of,
as is done now at Greenwich, from noon
Thus II \. NJ. will hereafter be the elev-
enth astronomical hour, as we'll as the
eleventh civil hour, whereas it is now the
twenty third astronomical hour. So IL P.
NJ. will be the twenty.third astronomical
hour, instead of the eleventh, as it now is.
The reasonableness and economy of these
changes is obvious and will do much to
simplify reckonings that are now confess.

10 TIE OUTRAGE mILL.

Our Democratic contemporaries insist
with much laughter that the Republican
press and the Republican party is fooIishly
running the outrage mill. " The Ecan.
Her of San Francisco is especially merry
over the folly Of such procedure, and per.
mits no opportunity to escape to point a
moral and adorn a humorous paragraph
about the " bloody shirt being nothing
more than a "Reminiscences" If the De.
mOcracy can check its mirth sufficiently to
catch its breath and look at the facts. it
will find that there has been no rupniug of
the "outrage mill " by Republicans the
motive power has been Democratic en-.
tirely. The Republican party has not
been involved in a single recent Southern
outrage, though Republican voters have
most frequently been the victims. But
there have been no party schemes, cam.
paigns OF plottings, not single party
ORDER decree or maneuver calculated to
bring down the wrath and let loose the
vengeance of Democratic Kuklux. The
Mississippi, Virginia and Georgia abuses of
colored citizens were not provoked by any
party action, nor indeed by the leaders of
party. Colored voters have exercised the
right to speak and vote freely, and to or.
ganize in favor of given principles, and for
SO doing have been driven from the polls
whipped, warned from the country and
killed. The press has recorded the facts,
but all the bloody shnt waving has been
INDUCED in by the Democratic arm of that
voice OF public opinion. If the
outrage mill is to be dragged
into the approaching campaign, let
the Democracy understand that they alone
will be responsible for it. Merriment and
ri3iculeand weakly wit are of noavail against
cold facts; for instance such as that re-
corded at the trial of the Kuklux conspira. |
tors in Georgia. They were tried and con-
victed before a jury of their county +;
" carpet. baggers" had nothing whatever to |
do with the trial, and not a Southern paper |
has yet been bold enough to assault toe |
procedure at the trial, or even to suggest |
that the conviction was obtained otherwise |
than legtimately, or that the truth did not
justify the verdict But if this is deemed |
merely "a "reminiscences" perhaps our
Democratic laughing contemporary, the
Examiner, will explain away the recent
confession of the chief prisoners when they
stood up for sentence This was fact, |
and as such has been duly commented upon
by the press at the North. The confession
was unsolicited it came as a surprise; it |
was made in open Court freely, volunta.
rl!y, and established, beyond all question,
the existence of Kuklnx organizations, and |
their infamous character; that their pur-
poses were and are to iutmidate such vot.
ers-and kill them, if need be-as oppose
Democratic tickets in the south.
