ANYTHING to beat Wallace" is
now the battlecry of all the opposing
factions of the Pennsylvania Democ.
racy, and it begins to look as if the
Clearfeld statesman was Got to have
walk.over at the State Convention
next week, as his friends had been
predicting. Hensel is credited with
pulling President Cleveland into the
fight as the supporter of Black, with
the understanding that if the latter
caunet be nominated Mccormick, of
Harrisburg, shall be the man. Ran
dali and Scott are in the scheme along
with all the other anti Wallace lead
ers, and they are going to make it un-
comfortably hot for the willy William.
II is questionable, however, whether
the Presidents interference in State
politics will not do the party more
harm than good in the impending
campaign. A very large section of
the Pennsylvania Democracy take
mighty little stock in Cleveland al
best, and if they fnd him meddling
with their little home arrangements
the feeling will be much embittered,
Taking it by and large, the coming
canvass promises to be one of peculiar
interest, with the faetional fights in
the ranks of the Democracy more bit
ter than for years past. Meantime
Wallace's friends continue to claim
that he has already a sufficient mum
ber of delegates pledged to him to
guarantee his nomination on the first
or second ballot. With the Federal
forces arrayed against him an entirely
different result may be reached Meau.

Mr.. TILDEN's relatives, some Of
them at least, are much displeased at
the way in which the deceased distrib.
uted his estate, especially in devisipg
so much to the public good, and they
are actually talking Of contesting the
will. They will probably think better
of this determination, however, as a
provision is inserted in the instrument
which forfeits the legacy of any heir
who shall unsuccessfully contest the
will. Mr.. Tilden seems to think that
if the contester can break the will be
should be paid for his trouble, but if
he fails he loses what he otherwise
would have had. The dissatisfied heirs
will all be likely to conclude that "a
bird in hand is worth two in the
bush" )" however.

MexicO's Courteous Proposal.

A special Washington despatch to
the New York World states that the
Mexican Government proposes that
the United States send to the City of
Mexico an able lawyer as special
envoy Of this Government to confer
with the Attorney General of the
Mexican Republic as to the proper in
depreciation of the law under which
Cutting is held. If this is true it
shows at least friendly and concilia-
tory spirit on the part of the Mexi-
can Government. Indeed, all the acts
and communications from the Mexican
National Government have been mark
ed by courtesy which contrasts rath'
er unfavorably with the bearing of
our own State Department, with its
peremptory demand for Cuttings in.
slant release before full understand.
of the case had been reached.
There is need of just such an inqui.
ry into the case by competent and
unprejudiced agent of the American
Government. It does not seem to be
we'll understood either in Washington
or elsewhere Of what specific ofense
Cutting was convicted and whether he
did or did not personally circulate the
second libel on the South of the Rio
Grande. The Mexican authorities
seem anxious to have an American
lawyer examine their statutes and sat.
isfy this Government that the convic.
ton oF Cutting was in conformity to
and warranted by the laws Of Mexico.
Here the Mexicans seem to be under
a misapprehension. 1t is not question.
ed, nor is it material, that Cutting s
conviction and sentence are in harmo-
ny with Mexican law. The position
of the United States is that, with or
without law Of their own, Mexican
courts have no right to try man for
an offense committed in this country,
1t is claimed in behalf of the Mex.
lean view that Cutting had been dom.
iciled in Mexico eighteen months prior
to his arrest. He had voluntarily
taken up his residence and engaged in
business there and subjected himself
to the laws and authority of Mexico.
One of these laws provides that under
certain circumstances offenses commit.
beyond Mexican territory may be pun.
ished by Mexican tribunals. IF Cut.
ting's merits were all that is involved
in the affair this answer would suffice
but the Mexican claim of exterritor.
ial jurisdiction is at variance with the
American idea Of national sovereignty
A crime is against the peace and dig.
Eity of the country III which it is com
mitted, and we can not with propriety
allow a foreign tribunal to punish Of
fenses committed on this soil, especial
| ly when the alleged offender is also ar
American citizen. This view should
be enforced without bluster or bravado
but with dignity and frmness. A;
for the merits of Cutting himself, they
may safely be left out of consideration
as the evidence shows they are non.
existent. PhiLa. Press,

Yesterday a party of US drove over 10
call on Capt. Brown, son of the immor-
tai John Brown. The Captain is fine
looking man, very courteous and very
intelligent. He gave us most interest
ing description Of the island, refusing,
however, to talk much of himself. His
home is pretty and pleasant and fun of
evidences of a cultivated taste and mind
He ia surveyor by profession and de-
voted student of geology. lie invited us
into his studio out on the beach. 1t is on
an elevated stone, oyerhung with lindens
The walls are decorated with iVies and
vines, while at your feet the water splashes
and plays, In it he has a gOod-sized table
and a comfortable chair. The sun never
reaches it, and il was delightfully."- cool
and inviting. There he spends much of
his leisure time reading or writing or
studying, trying TO solve the geological
problems ana mysteries so abundant in
this region. He took us to see some re-
markable scratches on the rocks, traces
OF glacial action. They are visible all
along the island wherever the stone is
laid bare. The whole lake-bed shows con-
clusiyely that it was cut out entirely by
the action of the great masses OF Ice. The
track OF the glacier is as long and wIde
as the anti-climate bridge is long, which
is the whole length and breadth Of the
lake. Strontian, IA rare mineral used IN
manufacturing fireworks, is found almost
every where on the island. IL il usually
found in pockets in the underlying rocks
Capt. Brown is by no means an Ordi-
nary man, either mentally or physically.
He took US into his "den," as he calls IL.
a little house OF several rooms, built
short distance from his residence, and |
noticed that his bOok-sheves contained a
number of well-selecled books, few that
any but a man of intellect would care to
read. lie also reads and speaks French
well. Prof. Orten, State Geologist, j. to
be his guest next week, aud together they
will explore more thoroughly the islands

A Dubious Story in Connection With

From, the Toronto Mil.

From the Toronto Mil.
A strange phase OF the mystery of the
mariners compass was made manifest on
the occasion of recent cruise of the Cyg-
net. Tae yacht left here for run across
the lake to Niagara. Everything was fair
and smiling. A large party OF jolly people
were on board, VINO enjoyed the trip
greatly. The gallant commander was
keeping a careful eye to his bearings. as
he was deslrous of making quick trip,
but despite this care it was found when
they came within hail OF land that they
were seven miles out Of their course, haV-
ing come out opposite Wilson, n. Y. The
commander was greatly troubled. 1t was
decidedly a reflection on his seamanship,
and he was exceedingly annoyed. lie
regarded the compass suspiciously, and
carefully examined its surroundings. but
could discover nothing that would ac-
count for any vagaries on its part. While
he was standing gazing glOomily at the
| tremulous needle 1t gave sudden start.
The commander looked up and found that
a stout member of the party had IN the
meantime approached. As he went by
the erratic needle followed his move
ments, and finally when he stopped at the
bow the needle pointed straight at him.
A series of experiments were then in
stitu ted, and 1t was found when the stout
gentleman was near the peIfidious pointer
followed him about in a truly Affection
ate manner. NooBe could account for 1t
until at last the disturbing element ac-
knowledged that he had been Induging in
the wild delights OF an iron tonic for some
weeks back, and he was afraid that mis-
system bad become permeated with the
metal. This explanation was accepted
10y all, AID the secretary was requested t.
communicate the facts to the PhilOsophi-
C al Society. In the meantime the unfor-
tunate gentleman, who is an enthusiastic
yachtsman, is debarred from pursuing
his faVOrite recreation. He is, however,
taking a spoonful OF loadstOne tonic three
times day, which is thought will soon
extract sufficient of the iron from his
system to permit OF his once again indulg-
ing in his nautical diversions.
