A SENSIBLE VIEW.

In all that has been written about our
little unpleasantness with Mexico re-
garding the arrest and tIial of Editor
Cutting, we have seen nothing more SEN
sibIe or generous than the utterances OF
Bill Arp, the old Gainesville, Georgia,
philosopher. In a recent letter TO the
Atlanta Constitution he says:
And now the talk is about war with
Mexico. Well, we don't wan; any war. IL
will take q big thing 70 provoke a war now.
"a. far A. the south II concerned Let Cutting
alone 81 verely. He made his b, d a I'd lie, hii.l
lie on IL. We don't want Jew thousand
men killed in defense OF one vagabond who
iTot into trouble with malice aiorethOught.
We have got just as bad men on the border
as Mexico has and Cutting Is one OF them.
When our men catch greaser over on our
side they make quick work OF him and
nothing is said about IL. Mexico has taken
good deal from US and we have taken
good deal of land from her. She has trea-
sures and our people eoNet them We have
got people who would steal land from any
body They tried 10 capture Cuba several
tunes They have stolen land from the In
diaus and have sto.en about half the public
lands from Uncle sam We want too
much. Because We are greedy nation

big a hurry with his demands. We want
the respect Of all civilized nations more
than aSe want their fear. Let US quit calcu-
lafing the profits OF war. When j was in
Texas and war seemed imminent IN Europe,

Mr. Bayard thinks there is a great principle
involved; and says we can ISy our OWE
citizens in our own courts. That is 50, OF
course, but when a bad citizen goes over the
