From Jefferson to jackson our presidents

is not in opinions held. not in acts done.
not in utterances added-for no four men
are less alike in all these-but in the pro-
found belief Of their fellow citizens that
those opinions and acts and utterances
sprang from sincere love of the common
good, pure desire to give the country ser
vice without trace of personal self-seek-
ing.
ITO Cleveland has come the opportunity
of the century. He came like jefferson to
re-establish the principles of the constitu-
tion. he came like Jackson to use the pow
ers of his Office to carry out the will of the
people without fear of favor, without per-
sonal prejudice or passion, as the leader Of
all democrats, MS the chosen chief OF great
ana successful party, and thereby be presi-
dent of the whole people," Other speakers
were Ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio; Con-
gressman Harter, of Ohio. and Hon. James
I. Ford.

Pomp and circumstance of War.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE secretary of
war sent to the senate to-day q communi-
cation from Adit. Gen. Douglass, of Mary
land. suggesting that congress enact law
to provide for the encampment of 100000
United States and state troops at Chicago
on the occasion OF tho Worlds Columbian
exposition. The views of Maj. Gen. Soho-
field are attached. He says probably 5, 900
regulars would be- spared from the duties to
participate in the movement, aud in con-
nection with state troops would equal in
numbers large army and doubtless consti.
tute tho most interesting and imposing OF
all displays to be made at tho exposition,
but thinks the encampment OF such q large
body would make ii difficult to find terri
tory for them and involve much expense
and require provision for drainage. water
supply, etc.
it will also be impossible to give suhor-
dnnte officers and staff officers, in tho linn
tied time suggested, necessary instruction
to make tho mxnenvers effective. In short,
concluded Gen. Sohoiield. IL il not believed
that for the purpose of instruction of
troops. the results obtained would DO at all
commensurate with tho necessary expenses
involved, Hence, If the proposed measure
10 carried out. IL should be mainly IL not
solely, for the purpose OF adding a grand
and imposing feature to the exposition.

nicative.

oraphed from Texas to the napers of the
confusion of opinions OF ths Texans of the
Mexican race aud those of the citizens of
Mexico"
ia there any dissatisfaction in Mexico

there il no manifestation of political dis
QuieC, Qulle sAe contrary ~ tne case. i ne
Texans of Mexican origin have nothing in
common with the sentiments of the people
of Mexico. and if the former find any
sympathy here il will DO among the few
persons who hold IN opinion entirely OPP

fellow countrymen."
"Vhen you expect no serious trouble?"
'Thore is not the slightest apprehension
here regarding the Texas border disturb
ances and public interest IL centered on
other matters. The border troubles arc
exciting no interest. The country is
steadily going forward in the paths of
progress opened by Gen. Dinz on his first
