the CUTTING INCIDENT.

Fuller details of the case of Editor Cutting
held by the Mexican authorities at Paso del
Norte show that he was arrested and is held,
not for an offence committed on Mexican
soil, but for an offence committed on Ameri-
can soil against a Mexican citizen. The
Mexican authorities claim jurisdiction I'M
der statute of that country which provides,
among other things, for the punishment of a
foreigner who commits an offence against
Mexican citizen on foreign soil. To quote
Secretary Bayard in his report of the case to
Congress, the Mexican government practi-
cally takes the ground that if any editor in
the United States publishes libel on a
Mexican citizen and afterwards goes to
Mexico he can there be arrested and pun
ished for that libel according to the laws of
that country.
Our government certainly is right in refus-
ing to give acquiescence to such adoctrine as
that. Cutting is doubtless a worthless fell
low, not worth fighting about if his freedom
were the only thing at stake. But there is a
principle involved, and it is for that the
government is contending, and not for Cut
ting.
The cbstinacy of the Mexican government
in refusing our demand for the release Of
Cutting is doubtless to a large extent invol-
untary. Were President Diaz as firmly
seated in the chair of state as is President
Cleveland doubtless Cutting would have
been at liberty long ago. But Mexican
President holds his tenure by a feeble title.
There are always ambitious RIVALS around
ready to fan dissatisfaction at any of his acts
into rebellion. The Mexicans who inhabit
the States along the Rio Grande cordially
hate the Americans, and any act of the
President which looked like concession to
their Texan neighbors would give them NOR
tai offence. Diaz would no doubt like to
surrender Cutting, but he fears revolt

sHoRTSIGH TEDNESS,
T.eWiston Jonrnal.

A clear case of short-sightednes is the act
of the prohibitory party in New York, in put

submit prohibitory amendment to the PEG
pie. Lots of folks in this world need the

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE.
cortland Correspondence of the New York Starr
The Democrats of Maine are working to
much disadvantage owing to the personnel
of the State committee. Its members were
chosen when the Democratic party were out
of power, and had been out for twenty-five
years. No one of the more illustrious Of the
party cared to struggle hopelessly against
Republican rule, and they allowed the con-
duet of affairs to fall into the hands Of lesser
lights, who proved irresponsible. Brown,
the chairman, is in disgrace for accepting
brides from would-be Maine postmasters,
and several of the members were in the
Garcelon council, which compassed the
Estate steal' some years ago. They do not
receive the support of the leading Demo-
Gratis. These men will conduct the fall cam
paign. as the new committee chosen at the
last State convention does not take ONCE
until January.

along the Rio Grande if he does. On the
otbar hand he fears war with the United
States if he does not. Hence ms Vaccllla-
ton. What he appears to be doing is post
noning action in hopes that something will
turn up to let him out of an uncomfortable
dilemma.
Secretary Bayard's action in this matter
appears to have been prompt and decisive.
The resolutions adopted by the committee
on foreign relations were inspired by him.
The country can hardly fail to contrast
his promptness and decision in this case
with his slowness and indecision in regard
to the fishery dispute. Neither can it fail to
perceive that while he deprecated Congress
sional interference in the latter matter, he
courts it in this Mexican imbroglio.

A correspondent in another part Of this
paper suggests several objections to the Or
~dinance in relation to the public health re-
Gently passed by the Common Council. He
thinks in the first place some restrictions
should be placed upon physicians to prevent
their spreading contagious diseases. We
submit that physicians are already unler
much severer bonds to take precautions
against spreading contagious diseases than
any proposed in this ordinance. A physi-
clan who should carry disease from one
house to another would soon suffer the loss
of his practice-a much severer penalty than
any imposed by the ordinance. Again our
correspondent objects to inflicting penalties
for disobeying tass4zFders of the Board of
Health. because the Board may not always
give judicious orders. But if we are
to have any efficient supervision of
contagious diseases somebody must be
clothed with authority and discretion. If
the men chosen to exercise this supervision
prove to be unfit men then they may
be turned out and others selected. We
con6de the education of the children of our
city to seven men, and clothe them with
large discretion, we confide the management
of municipal affairs to Twenty-Five men, and
clothe them with large discretion, we confde
the making Of laws for the 100000 people of
the State to less than 200 persons and clothe
them with large discretion. We trust twelve
men, not always very intelligent men either,
to decide whether fellow citizen shall con-
tinue to breathe the air of freedom or to be
hanged by the neck until he is dead. We have
been doing these things for years, and have
not suffered seriously in consequence, though
a good many of the men have been unfit. 1t
would not then seem to be AIRY hazardous
to entrust the supervision of Contagious dis
eases to board of health. At any rate it is
much less hazardous than no supervision at
all, as is now the case.
