Tho Cutting Case.

GEN. A. G. Sedgwick, a New York law
yer well informed on international law,
has, it is stated. been selected to 20 to
Mexico for the purpose of assisting in the
settlement Of the Cutting cSse.
The sending Of Gen. Sedgwick TO
Mexico indicates that there is some doubt
whether the first view of the State De-
pariment OF the points involved in the
case is the right one, and that, perhaps,
after all, Mexico, in arresting and trying
Cutting for committing outside OF Mexico
an ofense against Mexican citizen re-
siding within Mexico, has done nothing
which she has not always claimed the
right to do, and which some other nations
do.
The communication which the Mexican
Minister of Foreign Affairs has addressed
10 the Mexican Minister at Washington,
explaining the case and quoting authori-
ties in support of the Mexican view of it,
is quite a strong document. The case
certainly offers points for discussion. Mr..
Foster, who has represented this coun-
try in Russia, Spain and Mexico, says
that the codes OF France, Belgium and
Italy contain identically the same pro-
visions relative to the right OF sovereign
State TO arrest and punish citizen of an
other State, caught within it's borders,
for an offense against It's laws committed
outside of its territorial limits.
The State Department has long been
familiar with tAis provision of the Next
can code, and of the codes of the three
other countries named No later than
1880, Mr.. Foster says, the State Depart
ment had its attention called to it, so far
as Mexico is concerned, in dispatch in
which the trial Of a Mexican was de-
scribed who had committed a murder in
Texas. Our government has never pro-
tested against this provision OF the codes
of Mexico, France, Belgium and Italy,
and for that reason, it may be argued in
Mexico, the Mexican government had a
right to assume that our government as
scented to it.
1t is probable that international law is
against the extra territorial jurisdiction
OF the Mexican statute. Mr.. Alexander
Porter Morse, of Washington, the author
Of popular work on "Citizenship," says
that there has been violence done to the
principles Of international law, as well
as to the usages of civilized States, in
several propositions which have been
laid down IN support of the Mexican
view Of the case. There is a conflict be-
tween the Mexican law and the law of
nations, and by Mexico it is cOntended
that the local law must be held to be
supreme. Mr.. Morse claims that this is
erroneous; that it is held the world over
that the local law must give way before
the law of nations.
1t will be seen that the case has be-
come the subject of discussion, and tn at
having two sides, with much to support
either side, it is probable that settlement
of it may not be reached for weeks, it may
be months. Doubtless, Cutting now
wishes that he had accepted the offer of
bail.

The regning sensation in New York
city continues to be the indict-
ment of Commissioner OF Public
Works Squire and the great politi-
cal boss, Maurice B. Flynn. A we'll
known New York writer says that "the
inside OF the Squire-Flynn business is
something like this: Edison, just before
his term as Mayor closed, would not ap-
point Thompson Commissioner of Public
Works, and was blindly led into sending
in Squirrels name. Squire's confirmation
had been provided for by Flynn and
Thompson conformity. Squire was but a
dummy and a tool, and between Thomp-
son and Grace a perfect understanding
existed, that after Grace came in Squire
was to step out and let Thompson take
the place. WINS was in the plot as the
representative Of Grace, and carried on
the negotiations in his behalf. Squire
was known to be carpet-bagger and ad-
veuturer, who came on from Boston for
the express purpose of attaching himself
to Thompson. His record was that of a
trickster and harlequin, so they made
him write the letter, and then
made him believe that he had burned it.
Then they wanted him to get out, and he
knew when he had good thing, and
would not CO. Then Thompson got sick
and took to his bed, and Squire cottOned
to Flynn, and he and Flynn ran the de-
partment, and began to bounce all the
men that didn't belong to Flynn. Then
Grace, who had agreed to appoint Thomp-
son, formulated his charges, and Thomp-
son gave him the letter that would, they
thought, clinch them. Squire was conf
dent that he could prove the letter for
gerry, for he believed he had burned the
original. Then ne falls back on defense
that will be made more plausible by being
cOrroborated by Flynn and Newcomb, and
the chain would have been made complete
that would put the Mayor and WINS and a
good many others on the defensive. But
the investigation is stopped by the indict-
ments, when it was found that Newcomb
and Flynn would be very damaging wit
nesses."

Young Men in PoIitica.

From the Ne1o York Tribune (Rep.)
The demand for ''young men" to take an
active part in political affairs is based on the
supposttion that young men are more enthusi-
astic, more patriotic and more unselfsh than
those who have lost in long years of business
cares and by bard experience the generous in
spratlons and impulses of youth. In New
York city, however, certain Young men have

HITishino for Snort"

The journals OF field sports have OF late
been expatiating on the delights OF fish
iua. The communing with nature in all
her purity and beauty, the magnetic thrill
OF the rod when the fish bites, and the
splendid excitement OF the capture, are
all described in a most tantaliZing man.
ner. Such articles are not necessary to
inspire the average man with desire to
go fishing at least once year. Who Is it
that is not periodically seized with a de-
sire to 90 ishlngi What visions one has
OF the dolce far niente beside the stream,
OF the refreshing shade OF the spreading
beech, OF the bath in the cool, limpid wa
ter, OF the strike, the whirr Of the reel, the
test of sportsmen's skill against native
ichthyic craft, ana the triumphant return
home with well filled creel!
With fishing, however, the antici-
patton is very generally far more
pleasant than the reality. Nine
times out of ten perhaps. after
elaborate preparations and considerable
expense, one reaches the fishing waters
with his person and clothing well covered
with dust and saturated with perspra-
ton. Then he must fish in the sunshine,
or be certain that he will catch nothing;
the east wind then arises and the fish cease
biting, the mosquitoes come in myriads,
some awkward member of the party
breaks the bottle of bait, the ants destroy
or irretrievably damage the lunch, the
fisherman slips into the water Deck-deep,
and finally, disguised with himself and
all the world, he starts home, almost with
certainty OF having an accident in
which his vehicle is damaged to the
extent OF several dollars, and in which he
Is provoked to violate his VOW when last
he swOre of from swearing. AT home at
last, he finds that he is sunburned and
covered with blisters, and that the little
shaded portions Of his epidermis are filed
with hundreds of almost invisible but ex-
tremely annoying chigres. OF course
things have gone wrong at home or at the
Office during the day, and the amateur
fisherman resolves with a mighty oath
never, never again to seek the finny tribe
in its native element, but always there
after to procure his fish at the market
with the always lucky silver hook, and he
never does go fishing again until the next
summer, when he repeats the experience
in all its details. Again he ''resolves and

Quite number of Senator'S called on
the President few days ago and. asked
him if he intended TO maintain his civil
service reform policy and they came away
firmly convinced that he does not intend
to change his policy In the least. 1t is
stated that he has under consideration
and in all probability will shortly pro-
mitigate an important modification of the
ninth rule Of the Civil Service Commits
sion. Under the present rule all persons
who wish to be examined for places In
the classified customs or postal SER
vice must address their applications TO
the head of the Office in which they seek
to serve. Among other criticisms which
have been passed upon this rule is one
that the appointing officer is given every
opportunity 10 know all about the persons
who may be certified to him for Offices.
and may thus be influenced in his selec-
ton by other considerations than the
ability Of the candidate as shown in the
certihcation. The proposed modification
will require all applications in these
branches OF the classified service to be
made TO the local boards OF examiners.
and the appointing officer will handle no
applicants papers until he is ready to
make nm appointment. Reasons for this
change in the rules have been submitted
to the President by the Civil Service Com
missioners, and will probably he given
out when the new rule is promulgated.

Mr.. Whittier's exceedingly fitting and

citation, hut not a surprise, because the
breadth of the poets mind, and the generosi-

guide the hand that, in times of excitement,

that we have heard since Mr.. Tilden's death
that only the little men regarded him as a
