airy to say of him that he has COM

very well his own opinion of himself.

FOREVER DISQUALIFIED.

Why George Frisbie IIoar Can Never De
Elected President of the United States.
Hon. George Frisbie HOar Is occa-
sionally patted on the back by too par
tial friends who have faith to believe
that Republican nomination for Pres
ident is waiting for him. The presi-
dcncy of the American Antiquarian
Society is much more congenial place
for this choleric old pre-Adamite, but
since he has boom. although a wee
and documentary one, let it be recorded
and encouraged. Brother Blaine has
had considerable fun with him ut one
time and another, but in 1884 Uncle
George, allured, perhaps. by the pros
pect OF being made Secretary of State,
worked for his former prosecutor with
characteristic petulance of speech and
piety of dcmeanor. We suppose that
the paleOzOic man of Worcester has
never understood how candidate
whom he went moral bail for could
possibly be beaten.
But beaten Brother Blaine was, and
beaten would Uncle George Hoar be if
by some tremendous convulsion of a
National convention he should ever get
the chance The woman sullragists
might rally around his venerable relics.
and the civil war be fought over under
his command, but ali Would be in vain.
And yet he is a man of talent and of
experience in public life, antique of
aspect and vehement of speech, has
that sublimity of standardization which
goes far to impose upon the world,
and his private character is high. 1t
is impossible to say that i man from
Massachusetts may not be nominated
for President, improbable as the con-
tingency now seems; and Mr.. Hoar
may be the man. But there is one ir-
refragable objection.
Like his cousin, Mr.. Evarts, and like
Mr.. Edmunds, he is virtually disabled
and disqualified by his participation in
the deteStable conspiracy and fraud by
which Hayes was dumped into the
White House. Fraud vItiates all it
touches, and Frisbie Hoar, member of
the infamous eight of the commission
to promote fraud, will not escape pun
ishment if he ever goes before the
American people. He appears ven
cradle, pious and sanctimoniOus, but
no semblance or reality of subsequent
good conduct can induce forgiveness
of his great offence. He is perpetually
disqualified for the PreSidency.-N L.

This Is, To Saddle Special Legislation on
to General Bills-Oisgraceful Estates
manship."
"Are we 4 Nation of smart scamps?'
is question some writer has recently
asked, and if the observer were to
judge from the proceedings of our rep
resentatiYe bodies, from the United
State Senate down, there could be no
doubt about the answer. How TO sue
coed, honestly possibly. but how any
way. appears to be the main idea in
national, State and municipal poll
tics. 1t is the idea that ran through
the whole life of the statesman
from Maine, and only failed of a
national Endorsement by 1,047 votes in
total of III, 3l2 cast in the State of
New York. We find the same idea
dominant in the United States Senate
in the manner in which questionable
special legislation is tackled on to neo-
essary general bills.
Two fragrant instances of this
species of smartneSs on the part of the
Senate are fresh in the memories of
an amendment on to the Postal Appro-
priation bill providing for the pay
ment of $500, 600 to steamers carrying
the South and Central American, Chi
nese and Australian mails. This serv-
ice is already performed satisfactorily,
and the $500, 900 is an infamous sop for
political effect. The Senate knew that
any bill specially apprOpriating this
sum would be vetoed by the honest
man who was elected Oh the theory
that the funds of the Government are
a sacred trust The chief advocacy of
this scheme to circumvent Presidential
integrity naturally came from Maine
by the mouths of Senators Frye and
Hale.
The former of this precious pair of
main-idea statesmen succeeded in tack
ing bill authorizing retaliation for re-
cent exclusion of American vessels
from certain privileges in Canadian
ports, on the House bill abolishing GER
tain consular fees. The bill of the
Maine Senator has no earthly relation
to the subject of consular fees. 1t is
legislation sought in the interest of a
lot of tricky Maine fishermen. who in
sist on taking Canadian fish out of the
mouths of their feliow-cOuntrymen and
then insist that the Nation shall protect
them in poaching upon the fishing priv
ileges OF their nei~hborS. 1t is essen
italy the pestiferous Maine idea and
the rest Of the country is getting heart
i!y sick and ashamed of it. The West
especially is weary of it, 1t is time for
moral ideas to awaken in national and
municipal life to cast ont the main idea

MEXICAN COFFEE.

Methods of Cultivation Adopted by the

it will yield good income. Plenty OF

easily cleared and retaining its fertility
Il long time. Plants from six months
to year old are set out in rows eight
or ten feet wide and about six feet
apart in the row. If one is in haste to
obtain other returns while his principal
crop is growing, he may plant corn or
tobacco between the bushes; but it will
be found far better ''in the long run"
to merely keep the weeds down be-
tween the coffee and bananas, and to
enrich rather than exhaust the soil.
Twenty-Five pounds of coffee per an
mum to a single tree is considered a
good yield. The gathered berries are
dried in the sun, on straw mats or
floors of stone or plaster. They are
then separated and hulled by being
put through two mills, and the ancieot
process of pounding them in a mortar
is still in vogue. The Vera Cruz coffre
trade is largely in the hands of New
Orleans spectators, who pay on the
spot from eight to twelve dollars pry

Strangling a Subsidy.

Judging from the vote on the SUB
sidy amendment in the House Commit
tee on Post-oiiices recently one party
of lobbyists at least appears to be los
ing its hold on Congress. All the
Democratic members and all but two
of the Republicans agreed to recon-
mend nOn-cOncurrence, and it IS evil
dent that even with the assistance of
several abSentecs who are said to favor
the bill it has not sufficient support to
secure a favorable report to the House.
According to the statement of Mr..
Blount, of Georgia, the chairman, the
committee will permit the bill to fail
rather than give its assent to the pro-
posed $4,000 subsidy. The feeling
manifested in the committee is most
encouraging. Evidently Congress has
come TO the conclusion that it has
winked at this piece of special legisla-
ton about long enough, and that it IS
time to make a decisive fight. Il Our
infant ocean shipping industry requires
such vast amount of coddling and so
generous an allowance OF pap TO keep
it on its legs it is evident that it has no
business to exist. 1t would be better
for the country if it were permitted to
die n natural death, instead of being
trotted out every year in Il more dcs-
peratelv moribund condition accord

A MOST WRETCHEO BOOK.
A Libel upon America and a Disgrace to
Citizen Who Has Been Highly

a Libel upon America and Disgrace to
Citizen Who Has Been Highly
Itonored.
Every true American, every patriotic
citizen. and every friend of General
Logan will be panied and chagrined at
the wrctched mixture of falsehood,
bigotry and ignorance which that
gentleman has issued over his own
name in book entitled The Great
Conspiracy" 1t is inconceivable how
a sane man, one who passed through
the war of the rebellion, saw the doc
trine of secession torn out root and
branch, and witnessed the gradual re-
turn of friendly relations between the
sections so long at war over ideas and
so desperately engaged in armed strife
for four years, can write as he does,
not only of the origin of the difficulty
but of its conclusion.
If General Logan is correct the war
for the Union was failure. the Repub-
lican party has been the most stupen-
dous fraud of history, and all the lives
and treasure sacrificed for the perpet-
uation of this Government have been
worse than wasted. His absurd ''con-
spiracy" is still in existence, as he
claims. and vet when traced down it is
found to be at this time nothing more
formidable than conspiracy" by a
political party-cOmpOSed, as the last
election returns showed, of more
than one half of the American people
to keep itself in power. We are all
familiar with that kind of conspiracies,
Logan himself. was an arch-cOnspirator
not long ago when he endeavored to
seize the Vice-Presidency.
Outside of and above all the conflict
ing claims of partyism the production
of a book like this is Supremacy shame
full. 1t is libel on America by one
who has enjoyed hOnOrs mnumcrable
from her people. 1t is a falsehood, the
product of insane partviSm which can
not but belittle the Republic in the
ewes of the world. 1t reveals a fren-
on the part of the author as to make
his elevation to the United States SEN
ate rcproach TO every citizen of Hi
noiS. 1t is degrading, brutal and
cauSeless attack on the craftsmanship
of his own party, on the memories of
the dead. and on the best aspirations
of a united people for peaceful, con-
tented and prosperous future. In every
way and from every point of view the
silly argument which this envenomed
party chieftain has sought TO establish.
belittles the American people, scandal
lies the State which he represents and
diSgraces himself. 1t will fail into con-
tempt as it deserves to fall. and the
author. who has shown more of the
weakness of his nature than even his
enemies ever suspected him of, will be
lucky if he does not fall with it.-Chi-

conceive what possible objection can be
urged against Governor West, which
would not reflect equally upon his

can be urged against the official course OF
either. Governor West has been here but

not been called upon to exercise directly
his official power in any matter pertain
ing to the principal issue in the Territory.
His speeches upon his arrival here, and
his language to the polygamous prisoners
I'm the Penitentiary, however, have the
true ring, indicating that he thoroughly
understands his duty, and his determina-
ton to perform it without fear or favor,
in accordance with the laws OF the
Government OF which he is the
executive representative. He has
done nothing thus far which his
predecessor would not have done
under the same circumstances, or
which is disapproved by the local ele-

during his official terms. We arc some
