Mr., CLEVELAND win soon have another
mission at his disposal--that is, II this
government is not forced to suspend
diplomatic relations with Mexico, Minis
ter Jackson insists that he wants to come
home, and when the Cutting affair is set
tied his resignation win be accepted
There is rumor that Representative
Wallace OF Louisiana is a strong aspirant
for the place. II Is not believed, now
ever, by those who claim to know, that
Wallace will get the place Wallace is a
protectionist Democrat. lie Doesn't
believe In reciprocal trade with Mexico
or any other foreign nation. II we are
no. TO have war with Mexico we want to
trade with her, and the appointment Of a
protcctlonist as minister TO Mexico would
hardly be the proper thing.

SEVERAL judicial conventions, and al
least one congressional, held in Texas
this year, have adjourned without making
nominations, leaving the people to choose
the men they want at the ballot-box In
November. This is altogether due to the
operations of the two-thirds rule. II the
Democracy were less overwhelming In
strength 1t would never run the risk OF
having two Democrats In the same dis
trict candidates before the people. There
would be nominations, even under the
two-thlrds rule, with smaller Demo-
cratic majority. A general majority OF
1900 TO 100000 is calculated to make
the party rather careless and lntolerant
than otherwise. II elections had to be
fought to be won the party In power
would be more considerable OF popular
feeling. Parties are made up Of men and
human nature Is that weak that absolute
power renders its possessors less mindful
OF a tolerant administration Of the public
interests than would otherwise be the
case.

condemnation OF the action Of the general
assembly Of the Presbyterian church In
the South, and shake the staid old de-
domination to its very center. We do
not believe the case is prejudged, in the
strlc, sense Of the term, but as a matter
Of church policy, coupled with perhaps
conscientious considerations, It is very
difficult to believe that the court Of last
resort will concede that Adam was
evolved from protoplasm, when the
bible says God made man from the dust
of the earth.

DIR. EDWARD EVERETT HALE OF Bos-
ton lectured to the Chautauqua assembly
the other day on 1.-THE Human Side OF
George Washington" The lecturer
handled the father Of his country Just as
he would any other man, and showed that
Washington was by no means deml god.
In fact, he had many weaknesses and dis
played them. He spelled badly, was a
"masher" among young women, loved
his wine and toddy and always looked
out for g. w. in a horse-trade. But the
distinguished lecturer smoothed his criti-
cism by asserting that he believed the
Ratchet story to be literally true. That
was well considered. I'VE need the
Ratchet story tor each successive genera
tion OF young Americans, and as long as
1t stands unchallenged in the school
books the fame of Washington is secure .
Now that we know the father OF
his country did not always stand on
pedestal halfclad, and that II he couldn't
tell lie there were a good many other
naughty things he could do, our hearts
warm to him, and we can say, "With all
thy faults we love thee STILL"
