The Cutting Case.

Cry OF MEXICO Aug IA, via Galveston. The
Minister of Foreign Relations, Senior MariscaI,
has addressed communication, under date OF
the 18th instant, to Minister Romero, at Wash
ington, giving review of all the legal points
in the Cutting controversy, The COM
munication draws attention to the in
exactitude of some of Secretary Bayard's
statements. due, no doubt, it says to unreliable
information given him by interested and excited
persons The prosecution of Cutting did not
originate with the judge, as stated by Mr.. Bay
ard, but the result of the offendedE party's
complaint made in due form. Again. Cutting
was net only not refused legal assistance but
was provided with counsel, he refusing to en-
ploy q lawyer. The communication enters
at length into the question of juris
diction, and cites numerous authorities,
including Wheaton and other American jurists,
in support of the claim of Mexico for jurisdic-
ton over offenses committed against Mexicans
on foreign territory. He cites among others
Judge Story, who in reviewing New York
decision, says that, although the laws of every
country are in their nature local, yet an offense
may be committed in one sovereignty in viola
lion of the laws of another, and If the offender
be afterward found In the latters state he may
be punished according to the laws thereof,
and the fact that he owes allegiance to another
sovereignty cannot be pleaded as a bar to indict-
ment The letter closes as follows: II am fully
convinced of Mr.. Bayard's wisdom and sincerity,
which have been shown in his prudent con-
duet since he was informed, through my letter
to Mr. Jackson, of the impossibility on the
part of our government to secure the imme-
date release of Mr.. Cutting / also fully
appreciate the sincerity of his repeated assur-
ance of friendly consideration for Mexico given
to you. But our friendly consideration for the
government of the United States is no less sim
core and profound, and we have sufficient conf
dence in its wisdom and justice to expect that
when, upon learning the whole truth. it finds it
has taken wrong position, it will not hesitate
to recede from the same and will know how to
do Us Justice"
Interest in the case is abating. as 1t is be-
lieved the matter will be settled by diplomatic
negotiations Public confidence is felt here in
the discretion and patriotism of Minister Romero.
The best class of people here express friendly
sentiments for the people of the United States
Excellent reports of the crops have been re-
ceived from all parts of the Republic. The gov
eminent revenues hold up well.

Royal Lunatics.

LONDON, Aug. l4-Quite stir has been
created in medical and aristocratic circles by
The publication of a treatise by Professor
Hmckel the eminent German scientist. in which,
auent the death OF the King of Bavaria he
points out that mental disease is much more
frequent among the higher classes of society
than among the common people. In the chap
ter which has created the greatest amount of
comment the learned Professor says, among
other things:
Mental diseases are remarkably frequent
among savereigns The proportion OF lunatcs
IN reigning families, as compared with that OF
the population of their country. is as 60 to /;
that is to say, that lunacy occurs sixty times as
Dften in reigning families as among ordinary
mortals If similar statistics were taken as to
the frequency of lunacy among the nobility, it
would at once appear that this class also fur
nishes a much larger contingent of lunatics
than non-arstocratic humanity. The cause of
this is the unnatural separation of the priv
LEGGED classes from the rest of their fellow-creat
sures, which separation causes many dark sides
Of human nature to become particularly devel-
oped-aftiicialy trained as 1t were--and by the
law of heredities they are more strongly devel-
oped in every succeeding generation"

Work For The Idle.

Every incorporated town should

such as breaking stone, saving wood,
or working on the highway. Then
when the professional tourist that
expects the country to support him
makes his triumphal entry into town,
and hands In his card to the officials
the genial cuss should be introduced
to the stone pile, wood pile or high
way, provided with the proper i'm
plements and allowed to carr a
square meal or two. No man should
be turned away hungry who will earn
his meal by the sweat Of his brow,
and the tramp that refuses to sweat
should be chained up to a post, de-
Gently fogged and sent on his way
rejoicing. We do not believe in re-
fusing the hungry bread, if they are
willing to toll and earn it, and if un-
fortunate circumstances have de-
prived them of the means of earning
a living, let each town through which
they pass give temporary employment
until they reach steady work. This
kind of charity must be commended,
and we think that it would have q ten.

business.

His wife is a thoroughly good womah,
but her religion Is of a practical ma
tnre. She thinks there is a time for
everything-family worship included
but that time, to her way Of think
ing, is not when a savory breakfast
is all ready to be placed on the table.
One morning this week, when her
husbands prayer was longer drawn
out than usual, a suspicious smell Of
overdone biscuit was waited slowly
but surely toward her olfactory
organs. She. wriggled and twisted
and thought of her biscuits, and a
last, when the husband started OF
afresh ON a new tack, to which there
seemed no end, she startled the gooe
man by saying: "Lord, John, cut II
