fered with nobody's appetite. but the impression
made on the visitors must have been tinged with
surprise. The excursion to the State Camp at
Peekskill was charming Affair." but the exuberance
of kindly feeling and fraternal sentiment which
seemed to inspire some members Of the party late
in the evening dibered somewhat from the formal
tiles with which European nations surround their
intercourse with the representatives Of foreign
Powers.
Whatever the Frenchmen may think they express
only pleasure and gratifed surprise. They see moth
ing to which they ought to shut their eyes, and
everything they see in rose-colored atmosphere.
Yet between their eyelids they must cast glance
occasionally at some of the curious manifestations
of American democracy. and they will probably
carry away with them some remarkable notions
of Americans and American ways.

language is perhaps not diplomatic-that all
Persia was on end in expectation of Hanna.
The Zoroastrians in particular were intensely
excited. They are fire worshippers, and the
rumor had reached them that Hanna was red
headed. This may have been because, coming
from Indiana, the Persians confused him with
Senator Voorhees, of that State, whose red
headedness is of worldwide fame; or it may be
that he is red headed. We do not know. we
have suspicion however, that the report had
its origin in Hanna's appearance at Gramercy
Park with the committee appointed by the
National Convention to inform Tilden of his
nomination in 1876. Upon that occasion, 1t
will be remembered just as Tilden was about
to launch out in his speech OF acceptance,
Hanna burst upon the scene with such n sudden
gush of eloqucnce as fairly made the old man
open his game eye, and kept up the flow for
half an hour 1t was q very ruddy stream.
Doubtless when the speech reached Ieheran
the pund;ts pronounced it y red d-headed," mean
ing thereby that it was eloquence OF the
fiery sort We do not know this to be so, but 1t
seems plausible. At any rate, Persia was pro-
foundly worked up from the Caspian Sea to the
Indian Ocean on account of Hanna, and there
promised to be q great demand for camels to
ride in the procession that would 90 out and
meet him. The disappointment when it was
found that he preferred going to the Argentine
Republic, simply because if anything should
happen to him there he could walk home by
way of the Isthmus was bitter indeed. 1t is
not impossible that Persia will declare war on
account of it, but the hopo is that the Fire
Worshippers may yet be placated by sending
them Fire Eater. Mr.. Bayard has large
assortment of these on hand and available.
On the whole, then, we may count on n contin-
uance of peace. All Our representatives at
foreign courts-Oh! wait minute-thcre's Cox.
Well, Cox isn't quarresome, and hasn't got
there yet. Yes, we shall have peace, and
nothing to disturb Mr. Cleveland and Higgins
in the great work of putting the rascals out.

PRECEDENCE IN THE STATE CANVASS
1t is a sensible rule, long observed in this
county, that the party in control of the
National Government should take the initiative
in political campaigns. The Republican party
has never shrunk from the performance of that
duty. 1t has never hesitated to express its con-
vctions without regard to what its opponents
might say. 1t had its own ideas of how the
government should be conducted, and always
stood ready promptly to submit them to the
people. In that respect it has not changed.
But it is no longer in control of the National
Government. The Democrats by narrow
margin have been elevated to power, and it is
now fit and proper that they should lead in the
canvass. Having so long pursued a merely
negative policy it is doubtful if they will have
the courage to formulate an Affirmative one.
1t will only be matter of courtesy, however,

the prosecuting officers, who are not paid sala-

They are Democrats to be sure; but they must

are in bad hole and that it will tax their IN

THE HONORS TO THE FRENCH OFIICERS
What do tue French Admiral and lis officers
think Of their reception in Now-Yorkf That they
are thoroughly satisfied Of the good will which the
Americans bear them Is beyond Doubt in their
own expressions OF pleasure they are by no means
slack The Admiral says that he has so often re-
peated such expressions as 'snceremeni iouche and
''rrefondeaenf tna" that it seems to him II the
walls, his hat his clothing, are ready parrot.like to
take up the refrain.
Yet it is certain that under similar circumstances
the representatives OF the American Republic would
have met with somewhat different reception in
France. Tho naval demonstration in the Bay was
grandiosc and worthy OF the American people bnt
the reception at the City Hall must have impressed
the visitors with curious idea of New York munic
ipal government. The banquet given by the

"Mr. Williams language, at particular
points of his discourse, will not bear repeti-
ton in these columns. 1t was unchaste
and unfit for use in the pulpit. This paper
doesn't hesitate to say that anything which
cannot be reproduced in tho columns Of the
press should not be spoken from the sacred
desk"
We clip the above, referring to the late
sermonso of Rev. Dixon Williams, from the San
Antonio Times;some of the other San Antonio
papers made substantially the same state
ment. These papers,as everybody knows,
have never hesitated about giving publicity
to the foulest obscenity in their reports of
criminal proceedings in their city. In view
of which there is something not little
remarkable in the tenderfootednes which
they now exhibit at the legitimate show

Never has q presidential message

President Cleveland. 1t was a matter
of course that the democratic party

of their first chief magistrate in
twenty four years. He trod on many
of their old bourbon bunions remorse-

themselves by wincing. We have
