THE MEXICAN TROUBLES.
Action of Congress To BE Awaited-Two Yer
sions of the Arresures Case.

Action of Congress To BE Awaited-Two Ver-
sions of the Arresures Case.
Washington Special.
Unless Mexico should back down completely,
and renounce the position she now maintains
with regard to her right to exercise jurisdiction
over offenses against her laws committed by
United States citizens on United States soil, the
dispute between the TWO countries may be ex-
pected to remain just where it is now until Con-
gress meets again. 1t is thought probable that
the affair will drag along for year or two Sec
rotary Bayard will not abandon his position of
hostility to the rinciple Of Mexican
law involved in the Cutting case. and If
Mexico does not recede in the meantime.
Congress, at its next session. will
be asked to make formal declaration Of our
own principles in respect to the matter. The
President and Secretary Bayard are expected to
send special messages on the subject to Congress
next December. Mr.. Bayard considers the
lease of Cutting victory for this country so
Car as it goes, but the main question remains TO
oe decided and decided il must be. 1t will come
up first in the form of o claim for indemnity,
but whether this claim is allowed or not, the
law point involved cannot be evaded.
The ARE sures case is still more important and
troublesoms than the Cutting case in the opin-
ion OF the State Department officials The local
Texas authorities were to blame In the first in
stance Tor giving up Arresures at all, but
As they dill give him up. Mondragon, If he
was n party to the kidnapping can be tried
for that crime In the United States, because the
kidnapping occurred ia our territory, and 1t is
m extraditable offense The first thing to settle
is the facts in the case Our version of the affair
is that Arresures. an American citizen, was kid
mapped, taken to Mexico, and murdered there by
Mexicans. The Mexican version is that Mex
lean citizen named Rasures was arrested for
DEMONSTRATING and shot while trying TO escape.
It will be noticed that there is great and vital
difference between these versions, extending
even to the spelling of the victims name. and In
volring legal question of identity. The atten-
tlon Of Congress will doubtless be called to this
case also ia due time.

BRADY,s "REMINISCENCES.
Forthcoming Book Which Is Likely to
Cause Something of n Sensation.

Forthcoming Book Which Is Likely to
Cause Something of n Sensation.
T. D. H.. in Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The alarming statement is made, evidently
within official sanction, that Gen. Thomas ].
Brady is hard at work, with an amanuenss to
assist upon his "reminiscences 1t is said that
he has bales of letters, which will be freely
drawn upon, and the more important ones will
be given in fac-simile. Mr.. Ruthaker is sup
posed to be the author of the article making the
announcement, and he ought to know. He says
the book will be called Behind the Scenes or.
Political Under Currents or some such title.
It will be profusely Illustrated and the cam
paign of 1880 will get special attention. OF
course the star-route prosecution will come in
for very considerable share of attention.
General Brady will use the volumjnous ma
&erial he has in his possession without reserva-
ton" says Mr. Rothaker "ln the trial which
came so near running him he obtained no consiG-
GRAFTON from those under obligations to him for
past services On the contrary, they were the
most virulent in attacking him. Their course at
that time threw down sill the bars, and there
exist none Of the reasons for holding the private
correspondence sacred which rule in ordinary
cases. At the same time tie book will not have
revenge for its motive.
9sThe intention is to make.it a generally valua-
BILE contribution to the history of exciting
political era, which will be the more faithful be-
cause violated conventionalities gave the author
unusual freedom in handling his material The
rather disagreeable experience through which he
was compelled to pass will be his justification in
publishing facts which, under other circumstances.
would probably never have seen the light"
There will be some anxious peeping around
the tree box when the book is about to appear.
To have made greater sensation it should have
appeared earlier. 1t will be seen that Brady ex
cuses himself in advance for printing the private
correspondence of friends and betraying secrets
intrusted to him upon the ground that his friends
have acted badly toward him, and he means to
reservation" though not in a spirit of revenge.
Oh, mol there will be getting even with peo
pie, only the making of genuinely valuable his
terry However valuable it may be, it will
doubtless be genuinely sensational If General
Brady does as is threatened.

Colonial Beach, and Dorsey lives on his ranch in

The School In Which Municipal Politics Is

Studied-The "Boss'' of Ciries.
George Frederic Parsons, in Atlantic Monthly.
The American system of government is theo-
retically sound. The means of education are ac-
cessible to all. But when our children have
passed through the public schools and enter into
active life, if they wish to take part in public
affairs they must descend to the saloon for in.
struction in politics. and in the same institution
the foreign emigrants must graduate before they
can exercise the right OF citizenship. These are
our political schools. in fact, and they give the
tone to our politics-city, State and national.
The candidate for Office finds it Indispensable to
'make himself solid with the rum power. He
must buy the favor of the saloon keepers. He
must frequent these places and fatter the vanity
of those who gather there. Through them he
must obtain the votes of the idle, the vicious
the criminal classes. He must become familiar
with ali the ward strikers and loafers. He
must be represented at the caucuses which are
always held where drink abounds He must de-
fer to the views of men of the lowest intelli-
gence. He must subscribe to platforms drawn
up by demagogues and time servers. Is it any
wonder that self-respecting men so often shrink
from these ordeals, and prefer the obscurty of
private life to political career demanding such
sacrifice and snch debasement2 The foreigner
