The newspapers that are venting their
spite against Prince BISMARCK are partlcu-
larly fond Of haunting him with the alleged
improvement in the relations Of Germany
and England since his retirement from public
life. They assert that an ill-timed and per-
emptory demand on his part, that the United
Kingdom should join tho triple alliance,
caused marked estrangement between the
British and German Governments. This.
they add, has given place, since Kaiser WILL
LIAM IL. has virtually taken into his own
hands the control Of foreign affairs, to an in
ternatonal friendship. whose influence on
the political situation cannot be overrated.
When BISMARCK hears his enemies depre-
ciate even his diplomatic experience and
dexterity. no must feel like saying with
OTHELLo, ~ am not valiant neither but
every puny whipster gets my sword" To
tax him with diplomatic incapacity is to re-
duce calumny to an absurdity. If there is
any gilt with which history will credit the
veteran ex-Chancellor, it Is an unerring in
sight as to the limits within which he could
hope to exercise influence upon foreign
powers and as TO the methods by which his
ends could be best attained. To assume
that such man could misconceive the rela-
lions OF an English Prime Minister to the
Crown on the one hand, and to Parliament
on the other, and that he could overlook the
conditions under which alone a treaty can
be concluded by Great Britain, is simply
ridiculous. Yet just such glaring igno-
rance of notorious facts Ia imputed by the
Erats- Zeitttng to BISMARCK when 1t charges
him with having summoned Lord SAILS
BURY, in the summer of 1888, to conclude a
defensive and offensive treaty and make
England party TO the triple alliance.
There is mixture Of contempt and indig-
nation in the reply which BISMARCK is be-
Iieved to have dictated to the Hamburger
Nachrichten. He declares that neither in
1888 nor at any other time was the German
Foreign Office "clumsy or stupid enough"
to present to the British Government the
request imputed to it. Not even the slight
est soundings were made as 10 the reception
OF project whose unfeasibility must have
been clear to the youngest secretary Of le-
cation at Berlin or London. OF course the

A NarroW View.

Mr. ROGER OUARLEs MILLS OF Corsicana
has declined to serve on the Committee on
Rules, and Mr.. REED has appointed Mr..
BENTON MCMILLAN OF Tennessee to the
vacancy. The only reason yet offered for
Mr.. MI11ss refusal is his unwillingness to
serve with Mr. REED. He has dislike for
Mr.. REED, and takes sullen and high hero
ical view OF the Speakers cool and sum-
mary methods of keeping the House in hand
and the minority in submission.
Whatever may be the talents and capaci-
ties OF Mr.. MILLS, we do not know that he
has any special fitness for a place on the
Committee on Rules; but his refusal to
serve there seems both ungracious and I'M
dignifled. 1t is one Of the most important
committees, and is composed OF some OF the
most distinguished members OF the House,
Mr.. RANDALL was as persistent in asserting
the rights Of his party in the House as any
man could be. but he did not refuse to serve
on the committee with Mr.. REED. His
health prevented him from being much con.
suited, and indeed under Mr.. REEDS man
agement the Committee on Rules may be
said to consist mainly of Mr.. REED; but Mr..
RANDALL always recognized the fact that
he owed his best service to his party, and he
never refused to perform that service in
whatever form 1t might be required.
But Mr.. MILLS Is OF a very different tenn
per, as well as Of a very different calibre.
He has said some heated and angry things
about Mr.. REED, who. as far IA we have
noticed, has treated him with entire
courtesy. In his piQue and his pas
sion he now declines to be on a
committee with the Speaker. This is
mere childishness. Mr.. REED Is carrying
out for the benefit Of the Republican party
policy Of coercion and repression that Is in
defensible on any other ground than party
necessity, and that he would himself be the
first to attack II he were member OF the
minority. But there Is nothing OF personal
malice or malevoence In his policy or his
rulings. Some explosive members from the
South have enormously assumed that there
was, and have sought to visit upon him per-
sonally the Indignation which they should
direct against his party. Mr.. MILLS ID one
OF these explosives. He has been spelling
for fight with Mr.. REED. Hot words are
often said and hard blows given In the heat
and turmoil Of debate, but it Is unnecessary
to lay up malice on their account afterward.
Mr.. REED on his part seems to have laid up
no malice against Mr.. MILLS On the con-
trary he heaped Goals of fire on his head by
offering him the place on the Committee on
Rules made vacant by the emigration of
Mr.. CARLISLE so the other end OF the Capt.
toll. To offer to a man like Mr.. MILLS a
place once occupied by Mr.. CARLISLE is
very high compliment. Mr.. MILLS shows
chlIrish shirt in refusing it, Moreover he
is distinctly unfaithful in his duty to his
party in refusing on personal grounds to
serve on an important committee.
Altogether Mr.. MILLS is not magnifying
his political character by this sort Of thing.

PRAISE FOR TIE GOVERNOR.
His Opponents CommendInG His Integrity
and ExtoIlInG His StatesmanshIp.

From the 4utlrH Advertiser.
Gov. Hill has proved himself moro OF friend
Of the people OF the State OF New York than We
ever imagined he would. He has risen to a
point in craftsmanship very much above that
which some of his political enemies used to
ascrbe to him when they charged him with
peanut politics. In his course in regard to
certain bills left in his hands by the last Legis-
lature he has acted with more good judgment,
discretion. and valor than Democratic polti-
clans generally manifest. and with striking
freedom from the control Of base influences
compared with the course of Gov. Grover
Cleveland. who consulted tho interests OF COR
poratOns to the exclusion of all other interests.
When Gov. Hill, despite enormous political
pressure TO give the cases OF The aqueduct con

serves. 1t is II swinde from beginning to end.

OF the last Legislature. for they were certainly
told OF it often enough by the press and by

The Mexican Congress at Its recent ses-
sion passed measure amending the Constitu-
ton 30 as to allow rejecting President for
successive terms The Presidential election is
held in Mexico in the same year as it is here
and for the same period OF four years; but as
1t comes Off there in July, the inauguration fol-
lows on Dec. OF the same year. The Mexican
Congress has now done for the possible canii-
dacy OF Gen. D1Az in 1892 what 1t did four years
ago for his candidacy in 1888. The present
measure makes President eligible for an In
definite number OF successive terms.
A remarkable change has taken place since
fifteen years ago or more. when Mexico
amended her Constitution so as not TO permit
even one reelection of President until full
term OF four years under another incumbent
should have interviewed. In our country there
has been no prohibition in the Constitution of
the reelection Of President. Nevertheless no
President has ever had third term. and WASH
INGToN himself set the precedent against it.
while the very object OF the present measure Is
presumably to give three successive terms TO
Gen. DIAZ. besides the ono he began fourteen
years ago. The consent OF the required num-
Der OF State Legislatures TO the pending amend
meut will doubtless be obtained.

Gen. HARRISON Is getting praise from the
Republican press because he has vetoed the
bill appropriating $4,000 for public build
ing at Tuscaloosa, Ala. There is no need
for an expensive public building at Tusca-
loosa The veto was right. and the Presi-
dent deserves credit for it.
Unfortunately, the credit is not very great,
because the reason for this veto is that he
does not dare to veto legislation fully as
unjustifiable and thousand fold more ex-
pensive. In the present uncertain state OF
the public revenues and expenditures" he
says, resulting from pending and probable
legislation, there is, to my mind, an absolute
necessity that expenditures for public
buildings should be limited to cases where
the public needs are very evident and very
imperative"
In no state OF the public revenues and ex-
penditures should money be appropriated
for public buildings the need Of which Ia not
very evident and very imperative. In no
state of the public revenues and expendi-
lures should money be appropriated for any
other than a very evident and very impera-
tive public need. Gen. HARRIsoN's language
shows that he fails entirely to comprehend
the principles that should control the public
expenditures.
This same President who Is afraid to allow
small piece of extravaganza will not blench
at big one. He has vetoed this little $40, 900
bill. He will sign, In the pleased expectation
OF gratitude In the shape of votes, the De-
pendent Pension bill, which will take sixty,a
hundred, nobody knows how many millions.

of making big flourish with picayune
Vetoes, and meekly signing bills OF enor-
nous extravaganza BENJAMIN HARRISON
