1t looks as If the Cincinnati Enquirer had
resolved to make war upon the President. 1t
publishes In recent issue letter from its
Washington correspondent full of sneers at
him and sarcastic comment on his policy.
1.-THE trouble with the Executive" it says,
sis high self-esteem, greatly assisted by out
side appreciation. The trouble with the
Enquirer is probably that its editor, John r.
Mclean, has not controlled the patronage of
the State of Ohio.

the New York Offset to Puck, has just passed

The boys who went TO Paris to be treated
by NJ Pasteur, have arrived home all in ex-
eellent health. DR.. Billings, the physician
who accompanied them, says up to the day
he left Paris Pasteur had treated 126 persons
bitten by dogs supposed to be mad. OF these
only one had died, and he was not inoculated
until long after he had been bitten.
Pasteur.says he has only begun his work,
and no one objects more than he to the wild
claims that ars made for what he has done.
DR.. Billings brings back some of Pasteur' S
virus and proposes to go into the incubation
business himself.

United States Treasurer Jordan, who re-
mains in charge of the sub-treasury in New
York, said Wednesday that he did not know
whether any one had refused the Office
since Mr.. Roosevelt declined. He spoke
mournfully of the prospects of his
return to Washington. 1t has been reported
several times since the beginning of the year
that Thomas G. Acton would be reinstated
simply to relieve the administration from the
present embarrassment. Mr.. Acton laughed
heartily when the runor was repeated to
him, and declared with some emphasis that
he was out of Office.

say that have strong impression, which
is growing more robust every hour, chat the

subtle Daniel, "that an attentive perusal of

The English situation.

Although the Marquis of Harrington, at
the head of a squad Of whig mutneers,
went over to the tories and fell with the
Salisbury government, a most earnest effort
was made TO induce him to form a ministry.
This he wisely declined, for he could see no
reasonable hope of success. His declIna-
tion is one Of the most significant facts Of
the present crisis. The New York TimcS
says sit Is the confession that the cause OF
hereditary privilege IN England is hopeless
In the deliberate judgment of man whose
facilities for Judging are excellent, who is
himself, as politician, the creature Of
hereditary privilege, aud who does not lack
political cOuragc.n The Times adds that
the social and political transformation of
Great Britain IS the question at issue and
the aristocracy and It's champions in the mid
de class have come thoroughly to perceive
that this is the question that is presented to
them by the demand for home rule. II Is even
moIC British than an Irish question. II they
cannot make stand now with success there
is 10 hope Of their making u successful stand
At any stage hereafter The Importance of
Lord lIaTtington's refusal to take Office lies in
