and then pardoning Cutting, it will be
the most disgraceful trick ever played on
the State Department, and will swami p
those who now control it. Why does not
Secretary Bayard use his authority, and
demand the release OF this man Cutting,
and his trial on American soil, ii he is
guilty OF crime? The whole matter,
which at first was but speck and could
have been settled then by bold front, is
now menace to our respect and dig
nifty among nations abroad, and puts the
State Department in an unenviable light
to Democrats and Republicans alike.
While no attention should he paid to the
clamors OF irresponsible men, either on
the border or in the Capital, some atten-
ton should be paid, and at once, too, tc

nounced by the Sectetary OF State, oi
said dictum should be modified or with

THE CUTTING MATTER.

Telegraphic reports from Mexico give
assurances that the hot-headed feeling
for war, brought about by the Cutting
case, has greatly moderated, and both
parties to the controversy are deeply en-
gagged in adjusting the judicial status OF
the case, with view to form prece-
dent for future action. The individual
merits OF Cutting, or the manner and
condition OF his previous life can cut no
figure in the matter now, since the pro-
mitigation OF the Mexican law OF jurisdc-
ton over crimes committed against that
people, in foreign countries, and its en-
phatic and absolute denial by the United
States Government. The matter now re-
solves itself into the question, will the
United States permit Mexico or any
other country TO place an United States
citizen in jeopardy for acts committed
within her own lines? Secretary Bay
ard has said no, but in the face OF that
denial, we find the Mexican court pro :
ceeding with the trial, and finding the
lGIiSCAl Juol llit Shllic tl6 II IO pro-
test had been made by our Government.
This looks bad ; it looks disgraceful, and
let us hope it is owing TO the great press
OF business incident 10 the adjournment
OF Congress, and that it will have a
speedy settlement, Within the next
fifteen days the court can pass sentence,
and likely will make it light, when q
pardon will be granted, and thus the
position OF the Mexican Government be
strengthened in its peculiar claims oi

SUICIDES.

The tendency TO suicide in the summer
months causes more deaths at that time
of the year than any other, and to the
average reader the fact is ineXplicable.
When nature dons her fairest garb, and
when all the earth and air rcsounds with
the busy hum of humanity in its cease
less efforts to reach the unattainable-
perfect happiness-it does seem strange
that weak-minded men could be led TO
self-destruction. But rs there is II good
cause underlying all une explained effects,
so there is under this, and reason alone
is the agent by which the strange prob
lem can be solved, Mayhap it is young
man who has striven with fate
and failed in his wishes, and
the happy season OF the year gives
so many evidences OF the pleasures
life holds for others, that by contrast he
becomes discouraged, and leaves
world he cannot be happy in. In the
case OF young woman who in any man
ner has lost her happiness the great OPP
portunities for her sex to enjoy life in
the summer season more than in any
other, drives her to the consummation
OF the contemplated act, and all others
who are SO happy in their lot, wonder.
Many vain regrets that are born OF care
less or unkind action toward the victims
OF this passion for self-destruction might
be spared those who survive them, ii, by ]
diligent course OF examination into the
miseries OF their friends, they had tried
to tighten their burdens while living,
and by the exercise OF the virtue OF love
for their fellow-man, they had Frightened
the path or lightened the way for the
unfortunate. No feeling is more poig-
nant than vain regret, and ii may be
avoided by looking into the troubles OF
friends, even at the cost OF self-denial
in order that what in many cases is
imaginary suffering may be lightened by
kind word or deed and life be made
pleastanter to those uniortunates who
contemplate self-destrucion The steel
clad rules OF orthodox creeds may tenl
to surround such death with a ieelin.
of aversion, but there is that unietterable
and unfetlefed better natufe IN poor hu
manity that will always make it compass
sionate to the weak and erring OF its fel
lows, and touch the grave OF even the
poor suicide with a feeling OF pity ant
regret, borne on prayer to the Omni
potent for forgiveness, and the compass
sion denied by men.

THE MEXICAN CONFEDERATION.


The project TO form confederation OF
all the Central American States with
Mexico is good one, and is doubtless
the only way ont of the slough OF revolu
ton and rufiianism that has submerged
all OF law and order ever existing in any
of them. Since the foolish attempt OF
President Barrios, oi Guatemala, to estab-
lish Dictatorship over the Central
American States, and in the outset OF
which he lost his life. various plans have
been hatched for the Capitalization OF
power in that country, and all have
failed The commerce OF the United
States is now reaching out to find a foot
hold in these Central States, but the pro-
lection to life and property is so small or
altogether wanting, that the undertaking
has oftened been abandoned after great
loss, and the suffering OF various indigni-
ties by the adventurous men who went
there. Now, however, there is hope OF
better things ii such a confederation of
interests can be attained as outlined
above. The United States holds rail-
road communication through the heart of
Mexico, and in few years civilization,
law and order will follow in the wake of
the railroad just as it has done in our
western country, and commerce will then
be on an unassailable basis, and men
will be protected in transit, and their
ventures will be fruitful of good to the
country. With firmly established and
regular communication with the interior
of Mexico, and the central government
OF the whole country centered there, n
stream OF immigration would seek thai
country, strong enough to defend itseli
for the time being, and until the varied
, interests located there could develop the
country and bring it under subjection tc
the law. While the control of affairs is
in the hands OF petty states and thei,
Governors, no pooling OF advantages
; could be had but with grand centra
, point from which TO radiate the arms o
, the law, and the increased support i
would have from the great range OF an
nexed territory, something like order
could be maintained, and men with the
money and nerve to do it, would be pro.
, tected in their efforts to develop the
, country, so well known to contain illim
liable riches in the shape OF mines. Tn
confederation would also strengthen the
Y present railroads running across thu
, country, and push them to completion
| something that can never be effected a
: matters now stand. The present grea

A WARNING TO POETS.


The wires are burdened with great
deal concerning the doings OF Rolln NJ
Squire, the New York Commissioner Of
Public Works, and perhaps there is cause
for some OF the ugly things said OF him I;
but the worst that can be said OF him is
that he is the author OF the following
atrocious poetry, which he caused to be
painted in large letters and hung on the
New York City Hall, high in the air,
where il could be read The occasion
was the death oi Grant, whose body was
lying in state inside:
HE bore aloft our sword of flame,
rld-watched, envied nation,
Where victory sang, while trembling kings
Bespoke our desolation,
No faltering marked the Titan's task,
No shrinking from the trial;
He faced the foe ere freedoms hand
Fell shattered from Times dial"
This should be an awful warning to
many OF the misguided young men and
maidens-and old ones too-who give
way 10 the spurrings OF their individual
Pegassusses, and thereby stir by the
mental agony OF the poor fellows who
must edit the copy, that the irreyocable
dial OF Time is bound to bring round
some terrible punishment ADEQUATE tc
the enormity OF the crime. II is just
possible that ii Squires had not pcrpe-
trated this awful eifuson, and punished
the paragraphers Of New York and the
surrounding country by hanging it up on
the wall, he would not now be pilloried
I himself, and attacked on all hands for hi.
