WAR.

From the present outlook we con-
clude that war between the United
States and Mexico to be among the
possibilities.
The unpleasant relation grew out
of the fact that the Mexican athori-
ties of Chihuahua have imprisoned
one A. X. Cutting for an otfense
against the laws of Mexico, but
committed on American soil.
Secretary Bayard asked for Cut
ting's release and was assured by
the Mexican Secretary of Foreign
Affairs that full justice should he
shown. but failed to give Cutting up.
Congress passed resolutions ap-
proving the action of the President
in demanding Cuttings release and
requested the President to renew the
demand.
Cutting, instead of being released
has been sentenced to one years i'm
prisonm Mt and fined six hundred
dollars.
1t remains 10 I've seen what the f.
nal result will be.

The congressional race, in this
district, will assume shape in short
time. We have heard only two is
sues, of interest to the people, men
toned in connection with the race.
The tariff, of which we know so liz
tie, we will not venture discussion,
and federal aid to education. The
latter, in our opinion, is one Of vital
Importance To all classes of men who
must labor to secure the necessaries
of life for themselves and families,
and we fail to see how any man of
this class can oppose federal aid to
education, bnt the man who has al
ready competency laid by with
which to support his family and ed
ucate his children, is to some extent
eXcuSablc for opposing it. We have
read all the plausible reasons why
the States should not accept federal
aid and in our unbiased opinion
have decided that all the frss made
does not amount TO 4 single good
objection. It's important that the
will of the people should he made
known on this subject and the con-
gresham elected should represent
majority of his constituents rather
than few who may be outspoken.
There should be some plan adopted
by which the will of the people
could be ascertained.

THE CUTTING AFFAIR.

The american attaches very little
to the Cutting affair, as
ii would not regard a var between
this country and Mexico with as
much concern, as it would one of
Cincinnati's first-class riots. We
have full confidence that our State
department is thoroughly advised,
and alert, and that every proper and
reasonable demand has been, or will
be made, and that the Mexican
Government, with all Of its idiocy,
will accede to every single demand
made upon it by this country.
We would not seriously object to
the ownership, by the United States,
of the greater part of the five north
ern Mexican States, as they are
sparsely populated, not containing
a greater population in the aggre-
gate Than the State Of Georgia, and
with much more than five times
Georgia's area, and probably, as 9
mineral region, unsurpassed on tho
earth. 1t would, for great many
years, act as safty-valve for thu
United States, by giving an Quite
to the restless, adventurous and dis
quiet clements of our population
But from the motley horde Of half
breeds in the southern part of thei
republic Good Lord deliver us"
OF course, 1t would rest simpl
upon question of policy, in even
of a conflict with that country, rs t
how much of it, if any, we woul
appropriate to swell our domain
But it is almost ludicrous to discus
