LIFE insurance companies would seem to
be justified in CHASING risks on Presidential
candidates in this country as "extra
hazardous" by tho following mortality
record compiled by an exchange: death
has been busy of late years with candidates
for the Presidency and occupants OF that
high Office. The only surviving ex-Presi.
dents now are General Arthur, who was
only elected Vice President, and Rutherford
B. Hayes, who was not elected at all. but
occupid the Office through fraud. OF the
Presidents since the war, Lincoln, johnson,
Grant and Garfield are in the grave. OF
the candidates who ran for the Presidency
since BucEanan's term death has gathered
in Stephen A. Douglas, John c. Brecken-
ridge, John Bell, George B. Mcclellan, Ho-
ratio Seymour, Horace Greedy, Thomas A.
Hendricks (who was voted for in the Elec-
toral College because Of Greeley's death),
Samuel j. Tilden (who was elected in 1876
but cheated out of the Presidency, and
General Hancock. Not a single Democrat
is living who received the party's nomina-
ton for the Presidency from 1860 down to
and including 1880. Charles O'Conor, who
on a straight Democratic ticket
Greeley in 1872, is also dead. OF
candidates OF the leading politi-
cal parties for the Presidency from 1860 to

IT MAYBE that Hubert y. Thompson, the
great Democratic politician OF New York,
committed suicide, as charged. If SO, it ia
not a matter for surprise. The ways OF
politics are not calculated to make men
economical, thrifty or moral. This is true
Of politics in a large sense. It is not con.
fned to parties or to localities. It is
the same in every section of the country.
but nowhere is the temptation to live be-
yond ones income SO strong as in New
York. Mr.. Thompson was not a rich man.
He was the leader Of a great political fac.
ton and as such had to meet expenses of
an extraordinary character. His salary
would be inadequate to meet such ex-
penses, and unless he had an outside rev.
emu he did, of necessity, run behind. Mr..
Thompson was q proud man and an able
n and a burden of debt would lead such
. sentative nature to suicide, naturally.
But in the meantime the dead is entitled
to the doubt that the humane laws Of the
Nation accord even to criminals.

The Chinese are pretty good judges OF
the value of domestic fabrics, such, w
mean, as enter into daily consumption, az
cotton cloths. 1t is understood that in
this matter, which interests so large a pro-
portion of the people of that country, a
decided preference is given to American
muslin, because OF the superior stout
ness and, consequently, greater durabil-
ity. The English manufacturers are not
willing to accept that as the reason for the
preference given the American goods. They
contend that it is due to the fact that tho
American manufacturers are willing to &C.
cept lower prices than the English. If such
be the case, then, one of two things is evil
dent: Either we can manufacture cotton
goods of better quality and at cheaper
rates than the English, or, what seems
most improbable, they are selling the pro.
ducts OF their shops to the Chinese at less
than cost. One thing certain is that if they
can produce cotton goods of better quality
at lower rates than the English, the supre-
macy OF the United States in the markets
OF the world is established, ana there
should be no more prolonged periods of
s%tagnation among looms and spindles.

1854 he asoekAaAde6ded part ard was
wounded at Oxeapa.. In 1858 he was made
Governor Of Tehauntspec, and in 1861 vas
gwen the rank OF Brigadier General. After
the fasco that France was guilty of in
trying to create an Empire in Mexico, with
MAMMALIAN at its head, Juarez, who had
before ruled the country. was chosen Presi-
dent. In 1871 there were three candidates
in the field for the Presidency, namely,
Juarez, Diaz and Tejada. None Of these
had the necessary number OF votes to elect
and Juares announced his intention Of TAX
ing the seat. This calledIfor the formation
ofpartiee. The Congress recognized Juares,
who, accordingly, took the oath Of office,
but the troops of Diaz, whose seat Of oper-
alton was in Oaxaca, held the country in a
continual state of unrest. In 1872 Juarez
was stricken with apoplexy and died from
the effects. Tejada then became the Presi-
dent, but 1876 Diaz flung the banner Of
revolution to the breeze, and, in 1877, be.
came President of the Republic. As
the constitution of Mexico iorbids the
immediate reelection Of the same
person to the Presidency, .Dias was super
seeded by Gonzalez, who was also promin-
emit in the revolution of 1875. Gonzalez's
administration proved very unpopular,
and in the summer OF 1884 Diaz was again
chosen President. The announcement Of
his election was received with great en-
thusiasm by the populaee. He was in
augurated December 1 of the same year.
Though far removed from the masses OF the
people, by education and habits, b appears
to be imbued with true Republican princi-
pies. Educated to arms, he would natur-
ally take to war, but his ambition seems
not to be OF the vaulting kind, but rather
to subserve the interests Of the Republic
and tho good Of his country. He has a
strong and kindly feeling for the United
States and would, We feel confident, make
great sacrifices to preserve peace between
the tw o Nations.

Considerable sport is now and then
made Of Judge Symes. not unknown in

He is not endowed with the melodramatic

with tho faculty to play the buffoon and
clown, which gave the "Red-headed rooster
Of the Rockies" some notoriety. But he
has been an able, consistent, modest and

His reputation was not the best possible.
He started q paper there, but failed. Be-
coming q defaulter, he crossed the river

A Mexican started another newspaper in
opposition. This angered Cutting. and
he made q violent editorial attack upon
his rival. The article was libelous in the
extreme, according to the Mexican laws,
and Cutting was arrested. The magistrate
before whom he was arraigned treated him
with great leniency, and let him off without
payment Of costs, on condition of his pub
fishing a retraction in his paper. He did
so, but printed this in the smallest type
possible and in the most obscure corner OF
his sheet. Then he vent over to Ell Paso
and got the Herald OF that place to publish
a card attacking the magistrate. This
paper is printed in English and Spanish,
and circulated almost as much in Mexico
as in Texas. Cutting took copies Of this
