A Mexican Apology.

Mexican Herald.
 We almost blush for shame that we shall not be able to show the Pan-Ameri- can delegates city hall whose corridors and Hobbies are crowded with tobacco chewing loafers. potent ward leaders, plundering contractors. brutal plug uglies, the proper and necessary adjuncts to an advanced municipal government Nor has the city a boss who has behind him a political society blindly obeying his single will and electing men of scandal eus fame to the Board of Aldermen. Surely the Pan-Americans will say that the City of Mexico Is sadly Backward '" Something Is lacking to the city's full political perfection. Perhaps 1t is uni versal suffrage which. as we know, trans forms the vicious and the communicable envious into upright and watchfuI citi- zens regardful of the general welfare. Perhaps it is a sensational press alawys attributing bad motives to municipal rulers. There is a lack somewhere. and we hope that the Pan-Americans will pardon us for city government which is managed by respectable gentlemen is not nest of jobbery, and works for the progress and establishment of the city. It Is dreadfully old-fashioned, we are aware. but perhaps the Pan-American delegates may be induced to look at some thing else.

City vs. Country Life.

Thomas Jefferson. who was a great philosopher as we'll as a great politician, was opposed to the upbuilding of great cities. believing that the people were bet ter and happier when well distributed throughout the rural districts. He argued that city life tended toward dissipation and was not good for moral or mental or physical development.
 If there had been no railroads the people had turned their attention more to agricultural pursuits, there had been better farms and better roads, with fourishing villages here and there, and each community would have taken care of its own affairs and largely have SUD- piled it's own needs. We should not have had the same material development, of course, and one section would not have enjoyed the luxuries of other sections far away, as is the case now, but would not the human family be happier, and would not the struggle for existence be less strenuous if the population were we'll dis tributed throughout the rural districts?
 It may sound old-fogyish to ask such a question, but there Is food for rehec- ton in it.

A Charming Little Book.

From the Dana Ester Publish Com nanv, Boston, The Advertiser has receiv- ed a charming little book or cnlld,verse eh.,sifH M,ss zitella W Cooke. formeriy of Marion Ala, but now of Boston. The volume IS committed from poems of hers published in various magazines and papers.
 No one but lover ana coHpanlon Ui and sympathetically into their thoughts and feelings as these poems snow the authoress to have done. ana no one no! of a truly poetic temperament could pui thoughts into such tender and muslca lines as this book contains. Some or them 90 fully describe the thoughts ana Whlms of the children that one teels at olct that the writer must have derived hef from close association with them. Take. as an example, this stanza rom 4he Boys Dilemma:
 Grandpa says don't play in the house
 He cannot bear the noise:
 Mamma says, don't go out of doors.
 It's damp for little boys.
 With two big Dents" what shall do! I wish I had a world brand new.
 Where not a single don't all day Could stop my fun or spoil my play.
 Among the poems worthy of special Pines" and Madame Arachne, while many older people can sympathize with the little fellow in Keeping the Rules. :" who wonders why so many words are spelled one way and pronounced another.
 Although. for business reasons. Miss Cooke is now q resident of Boston, she is essentially and truly Southern: not only in birth and percentage but in all her feelings and inclinations. Her verses have been very much admired wherever read, both In this country and Europe and Alabama especially Is proud of her as a worthy and talented representative Of the best womanhood of the South.
 The little volume is handsomely illus trated and taken altogether will prove quite an addition to the list of child boks. while the older ones will find 1t full of interest

OPPOSED TO HANDsHAK1NG.
An Odd Club Which Exists al
 Ostend

statement that there exists at Ostend a club which has decided to suppress as far as possible the nuisance of shaking hands with people. At the outer door Is suspended a wooden hand attached to a wire. By shaking this one rings little bell in every room in the club house, which counts for a handshake all round on the part of the new arrival. This is very simple and saves a great deal of time and trouble, as we'll as sparing some people the pain of being insincere. This club should form an alliance with the American Society for the Suppression of Kissing and a few more organizations whose object is to Knock the stuffing out" of ancient institutions, and we shall have a race of expressionless creatures which will give points to Artemus Wards wax works.

Good Cartoons and Vicious Ones. Philadelphia Press.

There is place for the cartoon in the public prints. There Is humor and a wit that by the grace of good nature can accomplish much in the depletion through caricature of the foibles and follies of those in public life. A good cause, as was true in the memorable case of Mast vs Tweed. is never better served than by the pointed cartoon that breaches a sermon or conveys public lesson in a few strokes of the pencil. But there is point beyond which the honorable, self-respecting cartoonist cannot, will not go. and this point is the deliberate daily presentation of men in public life as the vilest of the vile, through a deliberate Justification of their known private char acter and public acts, in way that sets them out as low, degraded and without character or conscience.
