Minister VESTS AavIce.

The administration appears to be in peck
OF trouble over Minister Vests advice to the
British-American citizen of California. 1t
has devoted one cabinet meeting to a discus
sion Of the matter, without apparently COM
ing to any conclusion as to what is best to
be done. There is some talk of asking the
British government to recall him, as the
most hopeful means of extricating Mr.. Cleye-
land from the hole into which Mr.. West is
supposed to have put him. But after all,
what is the need of all this hubbub about
Mr.. Vests letter? There was nothing par
ticularly new or striking in it. Its opinions
had perhaps rather more of an official air
than the opinions the British and Canadian
press have been giving on the Presidential
campaign. but they were in precisely in the
same direction. The London Times has
practically told citizens of the United States
that Englshmen desire the election of Mr..
Cleveland, and of course that is sufficient to
Indicate to the American voter who prefers
the advancement of the interests Of England
to those Of the United States how he
should vote. Had Mr. Murchison been
subscriber to the London Times his letter to
MI west would have been entirely superfu-
GUS. lie would have found sufficient advice
there to guide him how to vote to advance
the interests of the Mother Country. But he
probably wasn't a subscriber, and SO apnlied
to the nearest intelligent Engshman whom
he knew of. This Englishman happened 70
be Mr.. West. And Mr.. West kindly gave his
views on the subject. His advice. was to vote
for Mr.. Cleveland. Now why should Mr..
Cleveland make fuss because an accom-
plished gentleman who has frequently seen
him and who no doubt admires him, advises
another gentleman to vote for BIN? Doesn't
Mr.. Cleveland want people to vote for him?
Or is all the fuss because the gentleman who
advised the other gentleman to vote for him
is an Englishman? But Mr.. Cleveland
should remember that if he is dear to Eng
lishmen it is simply because he has made
himself so. He has fired the English heart
in his behalf, not Mr.. West Mr.. West
merely voiced the general feeling Of English
men. The existence of that feeling Mr..
Cleveland. and not Mr.. West, is responsible
for. 1t was perhaps a little indiscreet on the
part Of Mr.. West to express his views so

why the Train Ran Slow.


A man was one day making a trip on a
mixed train ON Dakota road. Passage on
these trains is never taken except for jour
neys of considerable length; walking is as
easy and much faster for short distances
more deliberate than usual, and the pas
senger called the conductor to his seat and
said:
Isn't this motion pretty slow?"
well, we ain I flying, | II admit"
sure everything is all right?"

Wheels all greasedp"
Yes, creased them myself"
Tires all on?"
Eyes. We run through the creek back
here and soaked up the wheels SO that they

..You are certain the wheels are all the
rails?"
They was when | come in"
Couldn't be possible that any of them are
off, and the axle dragging, could itP"
II guess not"
Are we going up hill?"
mo, this is pretty mdlin' level"
do you always run at this gait? '
f.st nS, NE We generally hump along little
MAY ! ask what is the trouble then?"
Certainly. We found two-year-old
steer stuck in a trestle back here before YOU
got on, and stopped and helped it out You
know the rules Of the road are that in such
cases the animal belongs to the company"
BUS don't see why that makes you run
so laundering slow?"
why, you blame fool, we're takin' that
steer along to headquarters got it tied on
behind, and it amt used to leadin' and don't
walk up very well. I'm doing all can; got
the. brakeman proddin it up with an UNI
brell', and an ear of corn tied to the end of

pointedly, but then he did not expect his
letter would be made public. He hoped to
90 his country and Mr.. Cleveland both good
turns. Mr. West was not responsible for
the publicity that caused his good intentions
to somewhat miscarry, and it will be very
cruel and heartless of the administration to
punish him for it. 1t is to be hoped therefore
that the threatened humiliation of Mr.. West
will not be enforced. 1t will be an act of base
ingratitude On the part of the administration,
and it may be positive injury to the coun-
try, for it is not at all likely that the next
minister England sends us will equal Mr.
West in point of stupidity, and certainly
while Mr.. Bayard remains Secretary of State
the more stupid the British minister at the
capital the better for the country. If Mr..
Vests letter has produced bad impression
among the people Of the country who prefer
American interests to British, Mr.. Cleveland
can remove it perhaps by issuing another
buncombe proclamation. Or he can recon-
vene Congress and recommend declaration
of war against the British crown. At any
rate Mr.. West should be spared. If he were
removed, Lord Dufferin might be sent. and
that accomplished diplomatist might beguile
Mr.. Bayard into consenting to the annexa-
tion OF the United States to Canada,

this be produced In the United States ?''
They said: mo, General; large portion
OF this we imported from France. All this
lace, all this gilt, much of the texture that
has been used to make this suit came from

Clothing, made of American wool, in Ameri
