The Spanish Minister having
spoken very lndiscreetly about the
President OF the United States IN a
private letter, and that letter hav'
ing been stolen and its contents
mad public, the minister was com
PEELED to resign at once, in order
TO save himself the disgrace OF be-
ing recalled by his own government
or of being dismissed by the United
States. From this incidental mum
her of lessons might be drawn.
First, it Is dangerous to write letters
to, or about, anybody; second
many people, especially, diplomat
lists, do not say what they mean, or
mean what they say, in their polite
intercourse with the representatives
olother nations; third, even Il his
opinions were correct, iF was very
imprudent to give expression to
them with pen and ink-he ought
to have used typewriter fourth
the good things usually said to a
man. holding an influential Office
are not applicable to him indiyld

The Legislature.

Many papers, as is usual, are
condemning the present Legislature.
Unfortunately, among the editors Of
Virginia newspapers,we have many
chronic fault finders. They are
continually finding fault, but they
never suggest any feasible plan to
make things better. When Mr.
Cleveland was Precedent of the
United States, almost every act OF
his started them to whining. They
were displeased when he acted
officially and even when to reeuper-
ate his health he INDUCED IN few
days rest. His appointments never
gave them satisfaction. They are
now bowling because the Legislature
has done nothing. Had it passed
the bills which were presented, they
would have howled because the
Legislature did too much. They
seem to think that the great duty of
an editor is TO howl and find fault
and have never yet learned that the
more they howl the less attention
is paid to them. 1t would, we have
no doubt, have been we'll if tie
Legislature had done nothing at all.
In fact we would have been no
worse of, fit had not held a session.
We do not fear what the Legisla-
ture may fail to do, but we are
awfully afraid of what IT may do.
The highest encomium that can be
passed upon any Virginia Legisla-
ture is: This Legislature has done
nothing"
