so weary and tired-of this wavering
foreign policy that sigh of relief will
60 up all over the Nation at the Access
sion of a new administration of which
it is expected that at least it will not
lack in frmness.
The most scathing criticisms of Mr..
Bayard have come from the papers of
his own party and it is to be presumed
that those journals will be glad to see
a Secretary of State who will uphold
our honor, whatever may be his poll
tics.
Such one we are likely to have for,
if rumOr is to be trusted, Hon. James
G.. Blaine has been offered and has &C
cepted the portfolio of Secretary of
State under Mr.. HarrisOn'S admins
tration. We hope it is so for Blaine
will give us policy that is not lacking
in backbone. He will teach the world
that the United States is great Nation
and that her rights are not to be ig-
nored by any government under the
sun, be it great or small, powerful or
insignificant.

Our Foreign Policy .

1t has frequently happened in the
history of this Nation that the policy
pursued by the party in pc wtr was dis
tasteful to those of opposite political
views. Indeed it would be matter of
surprise if this had not been SO, for the
essence of politics is to decry the efforts
of your opponents. Since the days of
Washington and John Jay there have
been vigorous protests on the part of
the ''outs'' against the dealings of the
''ins'' with foreign countries.
No more conspicuous example Of
this tendency is seen in our history
than the declaration Of the Democratic
party, in convention assembled, in
1864, that the war Was "a failure, ="
even though the bright sunshine of
victory was then piercing the war
clouds that had hung so thick over the
banner of freedom.
In all Of these differences of opinion
the party in power has stood up as
strongly for its policy as the opposition
did against it. It's ministers and
officers could do no wrong in its eyes
and the utmost satisfaction with their
judgment and actions has in most cases
been expressed.
Just at present, however, there is a
remarkable instance of a foreign policy
being carried on which is not only
jeered at and decried by the outside
party but is laughing stock in the
ranks of the masses which put into
power the authorities who dictate it.
Secretary Bayard and his chief, Mr..
Cleveland have not had severe tasks be-
fore them. They have had to deal for
the most part with petty Governments
like Tripoli, Mexico and Samoa. The
most formidable foe they met was Can
ada, aud that ought not have seriously
their minds.
And yet from the time the gentlemen
referred to took up The reins of State
they have trembled and wavered in a
manner that has not only been I'M
worthy the Nation by which they have
been honored but has brought the blush
of shame to the cheek of every loyal
citizen of it. Republican and Demo-
crat alike feel the stigma of disgrace
that has been put upon US and both
condemn our leaders actions in. the
little contests that have taken place.
From the Cutting affair in Mexico,
the trouble on the African coast, the
fishing-smack difficulties off Nova
Scotia to the present quarrel over the
petty kingdom of Samoa, not once has
the Secretary of State shown other
than weakened and vacillating
spirit which has allowed the meanest
Zoe to trample on the United States
lag with impunity.
Democrat and Republican are soweary

War Talk.

The Wichita Eagle which is some
what of the world, worldly, says re-
garding the possibility of war: ''There
is talk of war with Germany. From a
moral standpoint war is sad, bad
thing, but America has her fighting
spurs on. We have not only surplus
in the treasury, but the sum of five or
six millions of dollars could be spent to
great advantage just now. There is a
cry of over production which would
not only be relieved and all prices
quickly doubled, but there are several
hundred thousand men in America
who would jump at chance for a
brush with Bismarck. or with any
other fellow who should attempt to
tramp on our cornS. A six war months
for the United States at this time, even
il we never get with ina thousand miles
of the enemy, would spread the sails of
our navy, start up every factory in the
land, elevate wages, enhance the value
of every product and send the whole
country into an era of prosperity.
War is a sad, bad thing, but it would
be hard to find a single American who
entertains any fear of war. Canada
and Mexico are the only countries
which stand any show of losing their
places on the map of the world in case
the United States gets into war with
any foreign power"

John Smith Heard From.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-President pro
tenn. Ingalls, laid before the Senate the
following petition: 'Your humble petit
toner would respectfully beg that your
honorable body pass the bill introduced by
Senator Butler of the South Sea islands,
empowering the commissioners of Whit
man County, Washington Territory, to is
sue bonds not to exceed 500, 900 to build
court house and Jail in the town of Colfax.
Now your petitioner most humbly prays
that you double the dose and give them
privileges to raise 500, 900. 1t will take
this amount to keep the county seat down
in this hole. And while you are about it,
give us $50, 900 more to build balloon to
get down to the county seat And your
petitioner will ever pray. JOHN SMITH"
The petition was referred to the Com
mittee on Territories.

New Haven Union: 1t is curious
fact that newspaper men rarely become
insane, although the harrassing nature
of their duties, with daily host of de-
tails to attend to, is seemingly of just
the character to break down the mental
faculties. The annual report of the
Connecticut hospital at Middletown
shows that only one newspaper man
was ever under treatment there since
the hospital was established in 1866.
This was reporter, disciple of Hafz,
who was discharged cured as soon as he
got the alcohol thoroughly cleared out
of bis system.

District Militia Gone 70 New yor,


There will be good many Washington faces
in New York to-day and tomorrow. Not only
counterfeit presentments of the face which was
once George Washington's, but features of
wen-known residents Of this city. They were
going all day yesterday, and q lot more left to-
day. Yesterday morning, at 10 O'Clock, the
Washington Light Infantry, 100 strong, marched
TO the train prepared for it, and was whizzed
through to Gotham as rapidly was compati-
BILE with safety. Last night the Emmett guard,
with 50 men in line. boarded their special car,
and left on the second section of the 10 D. m.
north-bound express. The first section OF the
same train was brilliant with red coats. The
National Rifles have gone to participate in the
Washington centennial wearing uniforms of a
hue that always made the father OF his country
angry.
A number Of military organizations from the
south passed through the city yesterday, a
large proportion Of them being old Virginia's
contribution to the great occasion. Gov. Lee
and his staH were on one Of the trains in q spe-
