 The lesson is so simple that any one can understand 1t with a moments thought.
 James G Blaine wrote to William Mckinley in 1890 that 1t was a great mistake to take hides off the free list, where they had been for so many years It was he said. slap in the | face of South Americans. with whom we are trying to enlarge trade.

MAY NAMn AMERICAN.

Paris. Nov. 26.-There is no reason to believe that France may suggest that an American be made president of the court of arbitration to which the Casa Blanca incident is to be re- ferreG.
