Peru Asked to settle Up.

Washington, oct, 1.-THE state de-
partnent has again directed the at
tentiun of the government of Peru to
the inability of closing the long pend
ing case in which Indemnity Is asked
for the imprisonment Of Victor Nc
Cord. an American citizen in Peru.
The note is iirm in tone and speaks of
the patience which the United States
has exercised in the many delays at
tending this case. No time is specified
for the settlement.
In response to this note the Peruvian
minister. Senior Egulgearen, delivered
TO the state department last Saturday
memorandum covering the question
as viewed by the Peruvian authorities
and also expressing a desire to close
the matter. As TO the state depart
ment's expression that the United
States has exercised much patience
on the subject, the Peruvian minister
pointed out that Peru had not been
responsible for delays as the first
claim was made in 1888 since which
time there have been periods of
months and in two cases several years
of inacton on the claim. Mr.. Shcr-
mans answer to the memorandum is
being awaited with interest.

To DAY closes the term of President
Cleveland and his work is taken up by
President Mckinley. The later becomes
president with more good wishes for a
successful administration than are usual
ly an accompaniment of presidential IN
augurations. Hard times have taken the
edge off partlsanship and have made I'M
iversal the wish that prosperity be re-
store
President Mckinley begins his admin
lstratIon badly handicapped by the zeal
ofindiscreet friends, or rather the thought
lessness of people who think words are
thought. His inauguration is to be the
beginning of prosperity. This is preach
ed necessarily bv a class OF partisans VINO
fancy that wild assertion III favor OF par
ty Is evidence Of craftsmanship, The in
augaration of Mckinley will not affect
the condition of affairs one iot. Indeed
If he carries ont the policy which the
hungry horde who wish to fatten upon
the public desire, he will permanently
postpone lasting prosperity.
The convalescent stage after seve re
sickness Is ever brief, To hasten mat
ters by artificial remedies is to invite new
attacks. Quackery is never successful.
What we want is good healthy regimen
IN industrial lines, individual push and

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has vetoed the

expected of him by those who kept
track of his fearless, independent
course. 1t was the only thing left
under the circumstances for an honest
man to do. The bill is undemocratic
in the highest sense in which the
word democracy can be used. Of
course there are people who will crit
icise the President for the exercise of
his constitutional power. But he has
not been in the habit of guiding his
course by popular clamor add he per
