Col. Forbes writes a very interest
ing letter to the Messenger concerning
his impressions Of the South, through
which he is travelling. He SAYS that
the bcs, scenery between Washington
and jacksonville compares very favor
ably with the poorest scenery in YER
mont. He finds the present condi-
ton of The South very similar to that
OF its antebellum days with about the
measure of Improvement that Northern
men and industries have brought to it.
He thinks the future of the South lies
in its adoption Of protective ideas and
the development Of its mining and
m manufacturing resources. The idea
we gather from the Colonel's letter Is
that Vermont is good enough for him,
which ought to be reason enough why
us ordinary mortals should be satisfied
with it.

can only spare ten cents, send it ia
me-" he pleads. He is located in the
drought region and apparently feels
the distress most kecnly. His paper
is as dry as the section it represents,
which is perfectly reasonable to expect.
About the only flourishing industry in
the place seems to be the editors fami-
ly, which has just been increased to
seven by the birth Of a boy whom a
local poet has dubbed "Custer

Itercounty is true, there is still need Of

New York politics are almost as
blind to outsiders as English or French
politics. Whichever party has con-
troll, there is always great uproar.
The parties usually unite their fac
tions just about election time and then
fall promptly at work chewing each
others ears as soon as the polls are
closed. The party that wins fights
over the spoils and the side that gets
beaten has plenty of reason for inter-
nal discord in determining who were
responsible for the calamity. From
this distance it looks like stand-off
between the two parties as to which
is the more incompetent and dishon-
est. Mayor Strong, in New York
city, seems to be doing his best against
every kind of odds. The truth is
New York is big state. The party
in power has immense patronage
Men make business of politics and
when they get an inning at office they
calculate to make it pay them enough |
for all their trouble in getting there.
In consequence, the commonwealth is
fastened upon by set Of merciless
whose last thought is the
welfare Of the taxpayers. "Get there"
is the motto; little scruple how. The
best men are disgusted with New
Yok politics and few of them care TO
dabblc therein. Control is handed
over to a body of men too dishonest
to work for living and too smart to
get to Sing Sing.

WALLER'S APPEAL.
Our Colored Ex.Consul Still in
a French Prison.
JOHNNY CRAPAUD Is MIGHTY SLOW,

Will Not Let Eust.s See tho Prisoner and
Has N,t Yet Supplied the Case Against
Him to Our Representative-soms In
formation About the Pay OF Diplomats,
Foreign and American, Given by . Vet
eran Congressman.
WASHINGTON, July 23-Great pressure
has been brought to bear on the state de-
partment to induce 1t to secure Justice
for Waller, tho United States ex-consul
In Madagascar whom the French so ar-
bitrarily ars.sted and imprisoned, and
many prominent men have interested
themselves In the case. The two senators
from Kansas, of which state Waller is o
citizen, have been particularly energetic
and Senator Martin has called in person
at the state department to urge prompt
action. But somehow things do not
move with any degree Of rapidity. The
department some time ago instructed Mr..
Eustis, our ambassador at Paris, to make
thorough investigation Of Walters
case; to see him and to procure q copy of
the record of the court martial showing
the evidence Oh which Waller suffered
the extraordinarily severe sentence Of con.
Gnement for twenty years.
France Inclined to Be "Uppish."
The ambassador has not been very sue.
cessful in executing his instructions,
though it appears that he has done all in
his power 20 carry them out. For one
thing the French government has absu-
lutely refused the ambassador the right to
sec Waller personally, o very extraordi-
nary attitude to assume where the rights
Of an American citizen are concerned.
Then 1t has failed so far to supply the am
bassador with the desired copy Of the
court-martial record in order that our
government may satisfy itself of tho suf-
fciency OF the evidence on which Waller
was convicted. 1t Is said by Walters
friends here that altogether the proceed.
tngs were extremely irregular and trav.
esty upon Justice. The fact that Mr..
Eustis rs yet has been unable to secure
anything like n record appears to give
weight to these statements.
The Case of Paul Bray.
Then as to Paul Bray, Walters step.
son, it Is clear that he was dcportcd from
Madagascar and suffered hardships with.
out the vestige Of q trial or any legal pro-
ceeding. and rs he Is u full ncdged Amer
lean citiz,n this must form tho subject Of
demand for redress. Altogether the
case Is one threatening to hold out many
difficulties in the way Of IN amicable ad;
3ustmcnt. but in view of the pressure
which Is being exertcd on the state de.
partment 1t may be assumed that it will
endeavor to do 30 before congress meets
again, and the subject Is further comp!i.
Gated by INSTRUCT ms from the Legislative
branch similar to those which formed the
basis OF tho Mora case.
