There IA a party in Mexico that makes
its policy out OF a pretented hate that
Americans feel for Mexico. The attitude
of the Liberal party leaders continues
cordial towards the United States, and
Americans find their legal rights guarded
as never before. General Pacheco, Min
ister of Public Works, says that he vel
comes Americans, especially as they bring
not only their money, but their skill and
enterprise, and the President has OF late
shown personally his desire TO assure
Americans that they are welcome here.
1t is this attitude Of the administration
that affords pretext for the clerical
press to assai the Liberal party as the
ally of the Yankees and for endeavoring
to "Yankeefy" the country.

Ono of Mr. COnkifnc's Hobbics.

Bathing was one Of Mr.. Conkling's hob
bies. The operators at the Hoffman house and
the Lafayette place baths like to tell how they
have rubbed down his manly form. One OF
the Hoffman house bath attendants said IN
the hot room thero the other morning that
the Senator preferred the Russian mode, and
that he had taken at one period two and three
baths a week After he moved into the
Hoffman house annex be had tho bath room
connected with his suite fitted up especially
for him. A large porcelain tub was made
and put in, and the Senator used it every
morning. He used salt IN profuston, and
often bathed with the water at very low
temperature. II was about the only form Of
indoor exercise that Mr.. Conkling took Of
late years, Once he used the gloves and In
dian clubs great deal He didn't hesitate
about exposure, and often went out for long
drives OF twenty and twenty-five miles. IL
made no difference how severe tho weather
was, no felt that he could brave it aud he

The Republicans made a show OF Offer
Ing substitute for the Mills tariff bill TO

their present idea Is to wait until the
pending bill is reported back from the
Committee Of the Whole 10 the House,
when tho substitute will be offered and
voted on at once. II 10 said that the sub

ton OF $94, 100000 more than Is provided

General Boulanger's idea that the army

tain statesmen and critics to sheer at his
ability to be political leader.
However true this may be, General
Bonlanger has much more than mob

Chamber of Deputies by several constitu-

he was returned for the Department du

Congress ought promptly to modify that
tariff bill so as to induce party discus
sion in one or two direct issues that the
people would understand, and that would
concentrate the forces The most efiec-
tive way to do this, in order to secure the
victory in the presidential contest, would
he 10 nut wool on the free list and reduce
the duties on imported wooden goods.
This Ia Mr.. Cleyelands leading
idea: and as it rather benefits than hurts
the manufacturers, and as it is sound
idea that can be explained. the wise
policy is adopt it.
if the Democratic majority will but DO
one thing towards atrue reform OF the
tariff, instead of tinkering with so many,
the task before us would be plain. The
people would understand that the party
was not lodging the iultilment OF a
promise when they have the power to

be more spirit and real patriotism in the
coming fight.

States that are essential to Democratic

all these doubtful States were carried by
the Democrats in face of the lingering
doubt of timid business men as TO the

of these States were lost after three
