1t Needs Soothing Syrup.

New YORK, Oct 20.-A Washington spe-
cial says: Later information from Germany
shows that Minister Pendleton has much
graver cause for endeavoriug to have some
understanding with the German govern
ment as to the construction given to the
Bancroft treaty than is apparent from the
dispatch which announced that negotia-
tions had begun. 1t appears that Bismarck
has again given evidence ef increasing
hatred against the United States by inter-
preting the Bancroft treaty in the severest
manner against German-Amerieans Those
who know most about the subject say if he
could have his own way, and dared to enter
upon such a course, the oppressive edict
which is now enforced against the Poles in
the northwestern provinces Of Germany
would find parallel in the restrictive
measures which would be adopted against
in the mother country
who have never rendered military service
fhere. 1t is stated that German-Americans
of this class in Germany have been notified
that hereafter their residence there must be
Mmited to a few weeks or months, and if
they, in any particular, during that short
period, become troublesome, they will be
subject to receive notice at any time to
leave the Ecountry. 1t is claimed that the
attitude which the German government has
taken is in direct violation of the later Ban
croft treaty. 49, re- s-5r,sf- 49, T.

Mr.. Samuel Sullivan Cox will sail next
week for Constantinople to assume the
duties OF Minister to Turkey. 1t is no
doubt very great source OF satisfaction
to Mr.. Cox and his numerous friends
that no word of unfriendly criticism of
his appointment to a foreign mission has
appeared in either the Democratic or Re-
publican papers. While nearly every
other foreign appointment has called out
unfriendly remarks from some source,
only words of commentator and en-
couragemcnt have greeted Mr.. Cox. In
deed, a very strong effort was made by
leading men Of his Congressional district
to induce him to decline the mission to
Turkey. A compliment of that kind is to
be appreciated because it is so rare.
Mr. Cox's New York admirers gave him
very handsome farewell banquet at
New York on last Tuesday evening, and
the occasion was made interesting by
funny stories and bright, witty speeches.
Mr.. Cox himself was not behind hand in
making the occasion one to be remem-
bered, and everybody who knows Mir.
Cox knows that he is a very entertaining
man, whether making a stump speech or
an aftAr-dinner talk.
He realizes, of course, that he is going
to a country with which we have very lit
tie commerce, and that there will not be
much for him TO do. He says himself
that this country sends to the Orient only
arms for war and missionaries for peace,
though it has been wickedly said that the
arms keep peace and the missionaries in
cite war. Mr.. Cox can be depended on to
look after both the arms and the mission
aries.

A great obstacle in the way of con-
tinuing the New Orleans Exposition APP
pears to be the desire of some Of the credi-
tors to get the money that is due them, or
at least part of it, at once. There may
not be much in the exposition treasury,
but the buildings are worth something.
The sum they would bring would pay a
small percentage of the debts.
The exposition managers insist that the
creditors will stand a much better chance
of getting their money if the exposition is
continued another season. They speak in
glowing terms of the attention which will
be given the exposition by all the States
and Territories, and by the majority of
European countries, if 1t is granted a
second season.
IL is said that some of the larger credi-
tors have consented not to press their
claims. They are willing TO wait, and
even to lend helping hand In getting the
exposition in shape for next fall
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the New
Orleans people will be gratiAed in the
matter Of a reopening, and that their
expectations with respect TO the exhibits
and the attendance will be fully realized.
While the exposition did an immense
amount Of good 10 the South New Orleans
did not get as much out of it as she had
reason to expect. Ii, therefore, she
thinks that she can do better if given an
other chance she ought to be gratIfied.
Outside of New Orleans, however, the
t1umberthat believes that a second season
would be more successful financially thar
the first, or that it would be anywhere
near as successful, is, probably, not large
However, as New Orleans would have L
foot the bills in the event Of financial
failure outsiders ought not to try 4
dampen her enthusiasm. II the exposi
ton Is reopened Georgia, Florida ant
South Carolina will doubtless be repre-
sented there.

MEXICAN Concessions.

The government of Mexico is not quite
so slow as the Congress Of this country in
forfeiting concessions to railways, the
conditions of which have not been COM
piled with.
In 1888 very important concessions were
made by the Mexican Government to the
Mexican Southern Railway on certain
conditions, and the sum OF $4,000 was
! placed in the government bank in the City
/ OF Mexico as a guarantee that the IcOndi-
tions would be fulfilled. 1t was under
stood at the time that the chief benef-
Charles OF the concessions were Gen. Grant
and Mr.. Jay Gould.
The conditions were not complied with
and the concessions, according to our dis
patches yesterday, have been declared
forfeited, and the 500, 900 has been covered
into the Mexican Treasury. The prompt
ness with which the guarantee money was
pocketed and the concessions forfeited
must have surprised the Americans inter-
ested in them. They had only been accus-
toned to the way that companies which
have not complied with the conditions on
which they received their land grants and
other concessions are treated in this
country, and doubtless were wholly I'M
prepared for the summary manner of pro-
ceeding that appears to prevail in Mexico.
1t would be good thing for this coun-
try If the Mexican way of dealing with
railroads which have never earned the
concessions made to them, and which do
not seem disposed to make any effort to
earn them, were adopted by our govern
ment.
There are many millions of acres of
valuable land in the Western and South
ern States which are claimed by railroads
which have an existence only in name.
These spectre companies, however, man.
age TO hold on to their land grants, and
will continue to hold on to them perhaps
until they can sell their rather doubtful
right to them to parties who will I'M
dertake TO build the projected roads.
Ii may be many years before such sales
can be effected, and in the meantime the
lands will be kept out of the market and
the settlement of the country retarded.
The Mexican way of doing things in
the matter of unearned concessions is the
right one. The next company that gets
concessions from the Mexican Govern
ment, and deposits in MexicO's bank a
large sum to guarantee compliance with
the conditions of them, will be certain
that 1t means to utilize them and comply
with all the conditions attached to them.
