A Misunderstood Statesman.

The Chicago Historical Society
has purchased the diary and cor
respondence, forty Manuscript vol
umes, of James X. Polk, the eie
venth President of the United
States, and there is a chance thai
valuable light will be thrown OF
some obscure points in American
history during the period in which
he figured. Apparently Polk''
diary, though it does not cover
half the length of time com.
prised in John Quincy Adams
journal, is more discursive, and il
may prove equally interesting to
the public, for it IS intimated that
the Chicago society is going to
print most Of it, and perhaps all Of
| it.
Less is known about Polk as a
man than about any other Of
Americas Presidents who were al
the head Of affairs in great crisis.
1t was intimated by Bancroft, who
was Secretary of the Navy under
him, that Polk had four great OBJ
iects in view when he entered of
flee In 1S46-the re-establishment
of the independent treasury, which
had bee ncreated by the Democrats
in Van Buren's presidency and re-
pealed by the Wings in Tyler's
time; the enactment of low tariff
to replace the Wings protective
act of 1912; the settlement of the
Oregon boundary question with
England; and the management Of
the Texas Mexican boundary con-
troversy in such a way that,
through diplomatic pressure or
war, or both, Mexico would be CO
creed into ceding New Mexico and
California to the United States.
This whole programme was carried
out before Polk left the White
House in 1S49.
This programme, it is only fair
to say, attributes to Polk far more
astuteness, Machiavellian and
other, than his countrymen in
general have ascribed to him.
Nevertheless, Polk was a much
larger man intellectually than
some of the writer's seem to assume.

than three-fourths of the voters il
each Of the parties are in favor Of

induce these great maiorities to
control their own parties, without
longer tamely submitting TO the
control of the minorities, brought
about BY the assistance Of men in
high places, or by men in such
places allowing themselves to be
led off by other issues from this
important one. The League now
has the assurance of prominent
men in all parties that they are
favorable to our plan.
You are called upon to see that
the next Legislature is right, es-
pecially the Senate. You are also
asked to see that men put into
control of party machinery are
men favorable to our cause. Arous-
ed as you are upon this subject, it
will be poor politics for your par
ty to put our opposers in promi-
nent places. Protest against it. We
assure the different party mana
gers of our friendship, and our
belief in their purpose to give the
people what they are now clamor-
ing for. We shall keep clear of
anything, so far as possible, which
will through our influence give
one party an advantage over an
other. The press is favorable to-
our efforts, and we believe it will
give this address wide currency,

LONG INUNDATED.
The order for the resignation Of
Edwin 5. MacIay, who slandered
Schley in his naval history, is the
only crumb of comfort given to
Schley by the days developments,
and it is mighty little crumb at
that. The fact that Secretary
Longs orders to Admiral Barker,
in command Of the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, to call for Maclay's resigna-
ton was given to the public by
Secretary Root "by order of the
President" along with other pa
pers in the case, is believed by
many to indicate that Maclay's re-
moval did not meet with the APP
proval Of Secretary Long, and as
being such a humiliation for the
Secretary of the Navy that his
resignation is to be expected I'M
less he chooses to swallow it.
The whole situation is most in

complish his purpose.
