Prepare FOR THE ANNIvERsARY --
The Fiitieth Congress among other I'M
pOrtant omissions, failed to make prOyi-
sion for the celebration of The four
huDdrcdth anniversary of the discovery
of America But three years remain for
preparations--a short time in which 10
mature plans for an adequate celebra-
tion Spain has published her inten-
ton OF marking the event by an
exhibition, and there Will doubtless be
ceremonies at Madrid commensurate
with Spanish interest in the great event,
but SPANS claims 10 international recog-
milton in connection with this matter are
triling compared with those of the United
States America was discovered bg an
Italian under spanish auspices, and the
discoyerer had for his spanish reward
ingratitude and chains Baltimore Aneri-

THE INFLUENCE. Socially the new

which il is esteemed by many to be one
of the Presidents highest functions 10

making the Congre sional season brill

Cabinet Ministers wives, Mrs. Blaine,

official society for years, will find moth

The Albany argus says The terms OF

moved for cause The law was
enforced under the last administration
IL is 10 be presumed, until there is evil
deuce to the contrary, that IL will be
obeyed 10y the present administration.
There is. therefore, no obligation upon
any Democrat holding an office for q

A sHAmEFUL PERFORMANCE-

A SHAMEFUL PERFORMANCE.
 There has been good deal of criticism of repudiation of debts in southern States, and such performances deserve criticism whenever and wherever they take place. The city of Watertown, Wisconsin, now comes in for it's share. Years ago the place desired a rail- road and issued bonds to secure the improve ment When the bonds became due the holders were confronted not only by de- fault of payment, but also by hostile acts Of the legislature and by municipal provisions of law which required personal service on the mayor and city clerk before suit could be properly instituted. The inhabitants leaeued together to defeat the creditors, and for many years the mayor and clerk would be no soon CT elected than their resignations would fol- low. The bondholders, despairing of ser vice, set up the rlea of conspiracy, and got into court only to be informed by the bench that the accusation of conspiracy could not lodge against SO large body of debtors. At last, the statute of limitations having run, the city consented to service, and the regular suit began, the city pleading outlawry worked by the lapse of time. To this plea the cred ltors demurred and the case went to issue before the United States District court Yer dict was rendered for the city and appealed to the United States Supreme court. It is the judgment of this tribunal that, if the Wisconsin legislature chose to surround a creditor with difficulties making it impossi- ble to collect from his debtor, that was sovereign act of the commonwealth The pity and not the justice of the State must be invoked.
 The people of Watertown are said to feel unbounded satisfaction over this. Perhaps they will not feel as comfortable when they want to borrow more money. They may then discover that honesty is the best policy
