in Awkward Question for Mexico.
On abstract principles of interna
tional law, Mexico undoubtedly las
the right, in her theoretical character
of an independent and sovereign na-
tion, to protest against and in the last
resort to resent with force the organiza-
tion on American soil of armed expedi-
tions for the overthrow of her govern-
ment. But as regards protest or
resentment on account of the Lerdist
conspiracy operating against the Diaz
administration from a base on the
American side of the Rio Grande, the
position of Mexico is awkward to a
ludicrous as well as melancholy ex-
treme. The only government in that
country pretending to represent Mexi-
can nationality and possessing any
semblance of national authority had its
origin in a revolutionary conspiracy
precisely similar to the one which
now portends the deposition of Diaz.
When Lerdo was expelled by Diaz he
took the place in the United States
which Diaz had previously occupied as
a scheming and plotting exile. If Ler-
do'a plot, as worked out by Escobedo
and other lieutenants, straddles the Rio
Grande, so did the plot which Diaz and
his lieutenants executed successfully
for the deposition ol Lerdo. The Diaz
administration can not complain of the
degree of the comfort and advantage
enjoyed by the Lerdists on American
territory without condemning the
method of its creation and implying
that the government of the United
States owes atonement for allowing
Diaz to make a point d'appui of Ameri-
can territory when conspiring for the
overthrow of the Lerdo administration.
Admitting that the atonement is due,
to whom is it to be made? How is it
to be made? Not to Diaz, for lie
was the principal party in the
wroDg. Not by special and vigorous
proceedings for protecting Diaz against
a hostile movement concocted by his
own countrymen, for that would be
maintaining and accumulating the
wrong. Take another aspect of the
matter. Suppose the Mexican minister
at Washington is instructed by the
Diaz administration to demand indem-
nity for the damage suffered by Mexico
by the operations of Mexican conspira-
tors and revolutionists from the Ameri-
cas side of the Kio Grande. Suppose
our government, convinced that it was
remiss with regard to such operations,
consents to give indemnity. But sup-
pose, p. 1 so, before the indemnity is de-
livered, the Lerdist revolution is ac-
complished. What then? Could the
new revolutionary government with
any decency accept reparation for aid
and comfort enjoyed by its authors?
Could our government with any de-
cency offer the reparation on such a
score to such a government? In any
event, Mexico must be at a pitiable
disadvantage as regards any complaint
in her name about the abuse of Ameri-
can hospitalities by Mexican exiles,
conspirators and revolutionists.
minister Williamson.
Hon. George Williamson, United
States minister to Central America,
passed through Galveston yesterday en
route to Austin. A representative of
the News had the pleasure of a brief
conversation with Mr. Williamson. He
visits Texas on matters of personal in-
terest, having relatives resident in the
interior, and expects to return to his
post at Guatemala about the 1st of
June. Mr. Williamson feels no cha-
gria over his non confirmation by the
senate as collector of the port of New
Orleans. His nomination to that posi-
tion was entirely without his know-
ledge, and his defeat before the senate
had taken placc prior to his reaching
home. Mr. Williamson is not in the
line of an officeholder, bis legal train-
ing and cultivated tastes rather tend-
ing to unfit him for such a
role. It is highly probable, likewise,
that he should prefer not to be
brought into direct contact with the
people of Louisiana as collector at
New Orleans. While a declared Re-
publican, Mr. Williamson is a southern
man by birth and education, and doubt-
less chooses to be removed from parti-
cipation in active politics. Of a clear
intellect, industrious professional hab
its, and an ambition to master the details
of all matters brought under his atten-
tion, Mr. Williamson has proven a val
uable acquisition to the diplomatic
corps of the country, for which service
he has many peculiar and fitting quali-
ties. In some respects it is a pity, how
ever, that Louisiana should be depiived
of the strength of Mr. Williamson's
character and influence, which, properly
and conservatively directed, could not
fail to prove advantageous to the peo-
ple, materially and otherwise.
Col. Thos. M. Jack, chairman De-
mocratic Executive committee, Fifth
Congressional district, calls a conven-
tion to nominate a candidate for this
district, to meet at Brenham, August 7.
The fact that the congressional nomina
tion is to be made after the cxcitement
of the gubernatorial convention is past,
may have considerable influence on the
result.
The traveling public should now be
fully reassured. From what has been
accomplished in the way of arresting
suspected parties and from the freedom
of the roads from molestation for some
time, it is reasonably certain that secu
rity against train robberies is establish
ed. Thanks to the energies of the mili
tary, marshals, sheriffs, detectives, con
stables, etc.
Lerdo has called a lull, but that it is
the lull before a storm, which will
sweep before it every obstacle between
him and the presidency, is an opinion
borne out by the history of Mexican re
volutions and the proportions of the
present plot.

Throckmorton and tlie Northern
Element.
~ An occasional correspondent, writ-
ing from Dallas, develops a novel the-
ory of Throckmorton's candidacy for
governor, based on conversations with
some of the latter's northern Texas
friends. According to this theory,
Throckmorton is ai unwilling candi-
date and consents to run not from any
personal aspiration, or from a desire to
serve any special line of public policy,
but from motives of party expediency
or necessity. Democratic managers are
alleged to see a danger of the large
northern element in northern Texas or-
ganizing a grand bolt, unless a depar'
ture is had from the custom of making
nominations from what they cill the
" Confederate bloody-shirt shakers."
The correspondent gives the views and
speculations of his interlocutors for
what they are worth, and questions
whether they will help or hurt Throck-
morton. Whatever weight the assumed
considerations may have had in bring-
ing Throckmorton out, it is hardly rea-
sonable to suppose that they were the
sole or the paramount considerations.
Other names could have been easily
found quite as acceptable on the score
of conservatism to the dissatisfied
element referred to. In seeking any
reasonable explanation of Throckmor-
ton's candidacy, it can not be over-
looked that he possesses, in the first
place, emitant qualities of public spirit,
state pride, practical statesmanship, and
administrative ability, coupled with
great personal popularity. Nor, in the
second place, can it be overlooked that
be has the real or supposed advantages
of residence in northern Texas, identifi-
cation with a great railroad enterprise,
and a seat in congress to vacate for
somebedy else, as well as a Union and
conservative record. Doubtless he
owes his support, in his own section at
least, to all of these causes combined.
As to whether he will lose more votes
than he will gain by the exposure of an
important secret spring like that which
our correspondent believes he has
found, we ven ture to hope that he will
not.
Wbat St. Louis .Merchants Think
ol" Ualveston.
The St. Louis Post sent a representa-
tive to interview some of the more
prominent merchants who accompanied
the excursionists from that city through
Texas recently. It will be seen that
while they express surprise at what
they saw in the state, and regai d the
excursion in a purely business aspect
as a splendid success, they do not en-
tertain a very lively fear of competition
from Galveston merchants. Mr. E. C.
Simmons, of the 8immons Hardware
Company, in answer to inquiries, said
to the reporter of the Post:
We have been more impressed with the im-
portance of Texas as a point that may be
made more tributary to St. Louis. We have
been surprised at the wonderful amount of
improvement, at the life, energy and wonder-
ful resources of the country. We have also
been enabled to feel the pulse of Galveston,
which is one of the competitors of 8t. Louis
for the Texan trade, as well as to ascertain
what the obstacles in the way of our doing a
trade there are,and what ground has been cov-
ered and what yet remaius to be covered. I con-
sider Texas as important a territory for St.
Louis as any we have got. While we have had
a large trade there already, we are going to
have a much larger. The trip was more one
of observation and instruction than anything
else. The Texan people were all glad to see
us and felt complimented and flittered at the
character of the delegation. They gave ua the
most complimentary receptions, fljwers, brass
bands, speeches and all that.'"
" What do you think of Galveston as a com
petitor to St. Louis?"
" Well, I was not impressed with its strength
much, and don't think there is much to fear
from that quarter. The Halves', on merchants
themselves have very little confidence in
their own ability. The main effort must be
to bring the cotton to this market. When the
cotton is brought here then the trade will
follow."
Mr. Filley, of the Excelsior Manu-
facturing Company, was delighted with
the trip, and added:
The result will be ill and more than wss an-
ticipated. i ersonall? we have a very large
trade there now but I expect a large increase
from the journey. I think the trip has ac-
complished more than could hare been done
by expending thousands and thousands of
dollars.
Was there ever a man half as fortu
nate even as Gen. Grant in the way of
receiving presents? While in Constan-
tinople the sultan made him a gift of a
beautiful horse. After his Turkish
majesty had shown his palace and gar-
dens to Gen. Grant, he conducted him
to his stables. He ordered his best
horses to be put on exhibition, and
when they had been sufficiently admired
he told the general to make a selection,
taking the one which pleased him most.
At first the general could not consent
to it, and warmly protested against the
sultan's generosity. The sultan's min-
ister of war, however, interposed, in-
forming Gen. Grant if he did not accept
the gift his majesty would be much dis-
pleased. The general thereupon select-
ed a dapple gray, superb in form and
having a step that would light with ad-
miration the eye of any cavalier. The
caparisons were brought out, and the
horse, in splendid attire, was formally
presented to Gen. Grant. The sul-
tan, at his own expense, has sent the
horse to Marseilles, whence he will pro-
ceed to New York.
Official advices at Washington con
firm the whole substance and tenor of
intelligence which has been published
in the News showing that an expedition
against the Diaz government has been
planned and set on foot upon American
soil by the adherents of Lerdo. It
matter for the cognizance of the United
States government and the order to
Gen. Ord to take precautions for the
apprehension of violators of the neutral
ity laws has not been too promptly is
sued, although it is to be presumed that
the United States authorities in Texas
would have used due diligence. It
to be feared that the conspiracy has
gone too far to be checked by them, and
that the United States have failed in
the efficacious performance of their in
ternational obligation.
—The refusal of the Republican lead-
ers to carry Hayes, so as not to tire the
party, reminds one of the Irishman with
a heavy bundle on his Bhoulder, riding
on the front of a horse-car, who was

the platform. He replied: " Be jabbers
the horses have enough to drag me. I'll
carry the bundle."

TEX AK KAN A.
An Execntlon In Arltanaas.
[Special Telegram to the News.l
Texarkana, May 3 —The first pub-
lic execution was had in Miller couaty,
Ark, today, and William Baldwin,
colored, was the first to suffer the ex-
treme penalty of the law. He was
hanged for the murder of a woman on
the 16ch of September, 1877, with whom
he had been living as her husband. At
.50 P. m. the sheriff with the prisoner
reached the scaffold, half a mile from
the j-til. Baldwin ascended the plat-
form with a firm step and got on the
trap. He was attended by three col-
ored preachers, who held prayers and
sang two hymns, in which he joined
with great fervor, showing little or no
signs of fear. He spoke about ten
minutes rather incoherently, making no
allusion to the crime whatever. At
.15 the sheriff proceeded to tie his
hands and feet and put the
blacK cap on, and at 2.19
the trap was sprung and Baldwin *hot
down six and a half feet, breaking his
neck and dying without a struggle.
Drs. Dale and Blocker pronounced him
dead in 5i minutes, and in 15 minutes
he was cut down and the body taken
in charge of by his father, to be taken
to Fulton, Ark., for interment. The
executed man is the last of three bro-
thers—one being hanged two years ago
in an adjoining county for murder, and
the other one was drowned two W'jeks
ago iu Little river. About three thou
sand people witnessed the execution.
Everything passed off quietly and good
order prevailed A company of sixty
men were organized and equipped by
the state, who surrounded the gallows
with fixed bayonets, which impressed
forcibly on the minds of all present
that good order was what Sheriff Rob-
erts intended should be observed.

Local News
[Special Telegram to the News.]
San Antonio, May 3.—Official dis-
patches from officers on the
lower Rio Grande are to the
effect that while there is a lull it is
but the lull before the storm. It is the
opinion of those best posted that the
revolution will be successful even if it
should receive a set-back. The Mexi-
can officials find it very difficult to pre-
vent garrisons pronouncing for Lerdo.
This morning, at 4 o'clock, Isaac
Perkins cut the thioat of his wife,

reled. He knocked her down and,
drawing a knife from his boot, cut her
from ear to ear, but not so deep as to
causB death. The officers are in pur-
suit.
A United States soldier under guard

Five Arrests in Denton County by
Hall's Rangers—The Prisoners In
Jail at Sherman*
[Special Telegram to the News.]
Sherman, Msy 3 —Five or six of
Capt. Hall's rangers got a clue to Sam
Bass and three of his pals, who were
coming to the house of Henderson Mur
phy, in Denton county. The rangers
were already going to the house, when
one of the Murphys on watch gave the
alarm, whereupon Bass and party made
their escape; not, however, without
several shots being fired on each side.
The distance was too great for serious
shooting. Bass had two cartridges shot
out of his belt, and is thought to be
slightly wounded in the face. After the
betrayal by Murphy the rangers arrest-
ed the two Murphys. the two Burson
brothers, and one Hill, for harboring
the outlaws.
Sheriff Everhart is hot on their trail
with a party of men. Detective Lucy
brought the Murphys and others to
Sherman to day, and all are in jail.

Tarrant county against Freiberg, Klein
& Co., of Galveston, came up ye3terday
in the U. S. District Court, but when
the district attorney examined his wit-

judgment for defendants, which was
done. A number of the important
cases were tried.
This evening Wetsell, Murphy and

An Italian Republican Congress.
Rome. May 3 —The Italian Repub-
licans have been sitting in congress for
the past three days. About 400 clubs
are represented, one-fourth of them be-
longing to Liguria. Signor Pantano,
director of the Mazzinian Journal De-
zero, opened the proceedings with an
address, in which he recapitulated the
Republican programme. He denied
that there were divisions in the Repub-
lican ranks. In conclusion, he said that
of all political parties the Republican
party could afford to be the most tol-
erant, for time was on its side.
This utterance was greeted with
loud applause. The main discussion
has been on the question of the practi-
cal organization of the Italian Repub
licans in one body. A proposition was
finally formulated and accepted unani-
mously for the election of a provisional
Republican committee, to be elected
in the various districts throughout
Italy, each district to have the right to
elect one representative and more, not
exceeding three for every 3000 mem
bers. During the three days that the
congress sat repeated claims to the right
of Italy to Trieste and Trebito were
made. No Communist or International
societies were represented.

Strong Diplomatic Leverage Held
by tne Turks Against the Rus-
sians.
Though Russia is believed to have
secured Austrian neutrality, her mili-
tary situation in Turkey is now regard-
ed as exceedingly critical. The Turk-
ish soldiery is reported to be more fa-
vorable than ever for alliance with
English troops. A month ago Russian
influence seemed to be on the point of
carrying everything before it, but now
the Porte seems more intractable than
ever, and the Turkish army is so Btrong
that threats of Russians have little ef-
fect. The Turks have intrenched posi-
tions and are scarcely inferior in num-
ber to what the Muscovites can
mass; so that not only can there be no
question of surprise, but even a most
serious attack might be resisted suffi-
ciently long, at any rate, 'intil help
came from elsewhere. It is not there-
fore considered likely that they will
accede to the evacuation of Varna,
Shumla and Batoum, even to get the
Russians away from the neighborhood
of Constantinople. Gen. "Todleben,
therefore, will have to display consid-
able diplomatic talent in the attempt to
overcome all the difficulties, while the
conciliatory disposition in St. Peters-
burg must bs strong not to be worn out
by the temporizing policy which the
Turks, feeling the strength of their po-
sition, will doubtless use with their
well known consummate skill.
The Central News Agency says the

the owners by Messrs. Mendelsohn,
Berlin bankers. Her principal work
witl be to supply provisions and mu-
nitions of war to the Russian fleet in
the Pacific. Her present destination,
after taking aboard war material con-
tracted for in America, is North Ja-
pan.

daily board.
The Manchester Guardian says of the
seven batallions of the guards, viz:
the first of the Grenadiers, the first of
the Coldstream, and the first of the
Scots, are recruited to their full
strength. Their baggage and arm chests
are all ready and packed for instant re-
moval. The ranks of the other four
battalions are being filled up to 1000
strong.

grade reports a fight between the Ser-
vians and Bashi-Bazouks near Pristina.

An ultimatum to the porte is not
now imminent from Russia. The bear
is looking before he climbs. The im-
pression prevails at Berlin and Vienna
that England's pourparlers only intend-
ed to give Turkey and England time
for concentrating a Turkish at my on
the Danube. Russia is evidently with-
drawing her troops from sbroad and
recruiting for a home strugc>.

A LESSON IN DYNAMICS.
The HI111 Explosion at Minneapolis
Like an Earthquake—Loss $1,.
500,000, and Seventeen Lives.
Minneapolis, Minn., May 3.—It was
thought an earthquake, but one of the
great flour mills exploded. Seventeen
persons were killed. Loss of property
a million and a half. Cause, gas gen-
erated bv manufacture of patent flour.
May 2.- (Midnight)—The flouring
mills involved in the disaster form a
group which comprises the heaviest
concerns in the state. Chief among
them are the two Washburn mills, pro-
perty of ex Governor C. C. Washburn,
of Wisconsin, of which the one in
which the explosion occurred was the
largest fl >uring mill in the country
and the largest but one in the world.
It was built in 1870: included forty
run of stones, and was worth $200,000.
It is now a smoking mass of ruins with
its companions. The destruction is
complete so far as the limits above
named, and serious within much wider
bounds. The flames are still raging in
the ruins, but are under control, and no
further extension is feared at this writ-
ing. The dead are 14 in Washburn's
mill.
Minneapolis, Minn . May 3.—The
following is a list of the mil's destroy-
ed with the number of runs of stone in
each:;\Va8bburn,|42 runs; Galaxy, 12
runs; Hennepin, or Diamond, 6 runs;
Humbold, 6 runs; Petit, Robinson &
Co., 15 runs; Zenith, 6 runs. Ia addi-
tion to these mills there were numerous
other buildings destroyed by the fire,
including a large elevator and planing
mill.
Minneapolis, May 3.—The follow
ing is a general summary of the situa-
tion of the scene of the fire: The great
flouring mill in which the exolosion oc-
curred is wholly destroyed; Washburn
mill intact, excepting injury to roof
from falling timbers; Thompson &
Hoyt and Buell, Newton & Co , flour-
ing mills; Washburn planing mil), and
Mill Company's Elevator, are all razed
to the ground. Across the race Pettit,
Robinson & Co.'s flouring mills walls
are standing; the Zenith and Galaxy
mills are more or less in ruins. The
loss, in addition to the mills interests,
is about $75,000 on the elevator and
$11,000 on wheat. About 11,000,000
feet of dry lumber in Pettit, Robinson
& Co.'s yard were also destroyed.
The Shock Felt at St. Faul.
St. Paul, Minn., May 3.—The shock
of the explosion of the Washburn
mills, in Minneapolis, was plainly felt
here and the flames were seen, creating
intense excittment thioughout the city.
Pieces of charred roof, paper, small
timbers and cinders were picked up,

THE NAriONAL CAPITAL.
Efl'orts to Amend the Rules of the
Senate to Defeat the Texas and
JPaciflc Bit!.
[Special Telegram to tho News.]
Washington, May 8.—House com-
mittee on Rules agreed to day to offer
amendments to the rules requiring all
senate bills appropriating money, lands
or property of the United States, and
all senate amendments to house bills
not germain to the original bills, to be
considered first in committee of the
whole. This is said to be aimed at
the Texas and Pacific railroad bill,
which its opponents fear would
be passed by the senate and go to the
speaker's table in the house, where it
could be early reached and passed by a
majority vote. If this amendment is
carried, one objection will send it to
the calendar of the committee, where
there will be seventy-five other bills
ahead of it, and where it can never be
reached. The rules of the house already
require similar disposition of the house
bills making appropriations.

Cabinet Consideration of Mexican
Matters—An Order to Gen. Ord
Enjoining Vigilance — Wbat Is
Thought of the Lerdo Movement.
Washington, May 3 —At the cabi-
net council to day there was serious at-
tention given the recent reports relating
to the agitation on the Mexican border.
There is abundant evidence of the fact
that a strong movement is inaugurated
by the friends of Lerdo on the Ameri-
can side of the Rio Grande to cross
over for the purpose of creating trou-
ble for Diaz. Reports to this effect
have been received by our government.
The secretary of war, after cabinet
adj jurned, issued an order to Gen.
Ord, enjoining it upon that officer to
be particularly vigilant in the endeavor
to prevent any invasion of Mexican
territory with hostile intent from the
American side of the Rio Grande.
The opinion iu administration cir-
cles here is that there will be serious
trouble in Mexico and particularly
along the border. The followers of
Lerdo are without doubt instigating
the Indian raids into American terri
tory for the purpose of having United
States troops pursue them across the
river and thus produce additional com-
plications with the Mexican govern-
ment. This fact was mentioned at the
cabinet meeting.
Escobedo is in Texa3 and the opinion
that he should be arrested for violating
neutrality laws was expressed by some
of the members of the cabinet.
The foregoing information has been
received by out government through a
number of official channels, including
not only the military authorities, but
the civil officials subordinate to the
state department and the department
of justice.
Directions will be immediately Is-
sued from each of these departments
for the prevention of violations of the
neutrality laws.
A formal letter from Minister Foster
to the secretary of state, inclosing
copies of the correspondence between
himself and the Diaz government on
the occasion of Mr. Foster's resumption
of his duties as American minister to
the Mexican government, was read at
the cabinet meeting.
House.
Washington, May 3 —Immediately
after the assembling of the house this
morning the legislative appropriation
bill was taken up for consideration in
committee of the whole. The commit-
tee rose and reported the bill to the
house. No action taken.
National Finances.
Washington, May 3 —Assistant Sec-
retary Seward announced that news
had been received to-day that the gov
ernments of Switzerland and Holland
have accepted the invitation of this
government to participate in the con-
ference on the silver question.
Financial matters formed a topic of
considerable attention at the cabinet
meeting. Much gratification was ex-
pressed at the exhibit of the nation's
financial condition, as shown by the
public debt statement on the 1st inst.,
and the fact of heavy subscriptions to
the use of the four per cent, loan was
thought to be peculiarly gratifying.
In considering the favor with which
the 4^ per cent, loan is received, Mr.
Sherman stated that the subscriptions
to-day to the four per cents,
amounted to over half a million
dollars. Reference was also made
to a statement to the bureau of statis-
tics, showing that during the twelve
months ended March 31st last our ex-
ports exceeded our imports by the un-
precedented amount of $200,000,000.
This was considered highly favorable
for a maintenance of specie payment by
the United States from and after an
early date of resumption.
Lottery Companies and the Malls.
Washington, May 3.—The attorney
general has prepared an opinion in the
case submitted to him by the postmas-
ter general to prevent the Louisiana
State Lottery from using the mails, and
especially the postoffice at New Orleans,
in the conduct of its business. He an-
swers the question as to the power of
the postmaster at New Orleans to with-
hold from the mails letters suspected to
contain advertisements of lotteries in
the negative, for the following rea-
son: That under the revised statutes,
except in the case of letters on which
the postage has not been pre-
paid, there is no power conferred
on the postmaster to withhold letters
from the mails. He further says: If
the postmaster general is satisfied by
evidence that any person is conducting
any fraudulent lottery through the
mails, he may instruct postmasters at
any postoffice at which registered let-
ters arrive, directed to any such person
to return the letters to the postoffice at
which they were mailed. This applies
only to registered letters. The persons
authorized by law to seize letters from
the mail are the collector of the port,
United States marshal and a special
sgent of the postoffice department, who
may do so only upon such letters being
libeled.
Current Notes at the Capital.
Washington, May 3—The commit-
tee on Commerce agreed on a bill to
improve the navigation of Twelve-
mile bayou and drain the lakes between
Shreveport, La., and Jefferson, Texas.
The corporation shall organize within
twelve months and complete the work
within five years, and shall have title
to the lands reclaimed.
The committee on Foreign Relations
of the senate reported a bill to refund
to Japan tho surplus of indemnity ex-
acted from that government.
Death of an Inventor.
Coniocook, N. H., May 3,-Wm. H.
Gilmore, of New Hampshire, is dead,
aged 54. He was the inven tor of the
first folding machine.
—Zamacona has reason to complain
of the injustice and malignity of the
Texas press. Some of the papers
charged that the Mexican raiders had
murdered seven persons, whereas the
truth ia they got away with nine vic-
tims. Why seek thus to belittle our
sister republic?
—Tweed wt.8 too
drunk.
NOTES AND OPINIONS.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat: The Texas
papers follow closely upon the heels of
our recognition of Gen. Diaz as presi-
dent of Mexico, with renewed reports
of robberies on the border line, and
statements in more detail than usual
of late of a pronucciamiento contempla-
ted by the partisans of L ;rdo de Te-
jada. It seems that Gen. Escobedo has
already given commissions to a con-
siderable number of officers, and that
200 men are actually at Brownsville
waiting a favorable opportunity to
cros3to Matamoros and proclaim Lerdo.
Their first step will prDbably be to
seize the custom-house and collect im
port dues, after which they will prob-
ably enough disperse after the approach
of any large body of forces sent by
Diaz. If we had but a reasonably
strong and resolute government, the
condition of affairs on the frontier
would not long continue to be a dis-
grace to the nation.
New York World: Our San Antonio
correspondence to lay makes it plain
that the Foreign Affairs committee of
the house have come to a sensible con
elusion in their determination not to
interfere with the proper defense of
our Texan frontiers. The government
has blundered seriously at almost every
step in its management of our Mexican
relations since it issued last year the
order authorizing our troops to"cross
the border in pursuit of marauders.
The recognition of Diaz will certainly
not be followed by any improvement
in the condition of the Texan border.
Oa the contrary, the probabilities are
that it will be followed by new provo-
cations from the Mexican side of the
river; and it becomes the Democrats of
the house to sec to it that the Texan
people and the honor of the United
States are not left at the mercy of
events any longer.
Judas Iscarlo'.
[From the St. Louis Republican 1
A Good Friday editorial in the New
Ycrk Tribune contains the following:
" Yet it is worth while for us tore-
member that on this same day, ages
ago, died the most unfortunate of all hu-
man beings, a man on whom fell a fate
so unspeakable in its horror, that his
memory has come down through time
guarded by a strange aud terrible si-
lence. It is that Hebrew, that fiiend
and follower of Jesus that gave him up
to deatb. Men have shown a keen in-
terest in dissecting the motives end
character of all other moral monsters
They have, apparently, not even a cu-
riosity about Judas. Nero aud the Bor-
gia had their analyst?: even satan him-
self is not without his apologists. But
from this man humanity Las turned
away without a word."
This is not altogether true. If the
writer is not mistaken, De Q iiucsy has
made the character of Judas the sub-
ject of careful analysis, and more re-
cently Mr. W. W. Story has handled
the same theme in a most masterly
manner. "A Romin lawyer at Jeru-
salem"—extracts from which were pub
lished in the Republican a short time
since—is a little book wuich much better
deserves reading than most large ones.
The idea it presents is, that from all
the evidence Ju ias was the only one of
the disciples who really believed Jesus
was a God; and that he delivered Him
up to death, not believing He could die
and expecting He would reveal His di-
vine nature and power by escaping
from and overwhelming His enemies.
Of course this is merely an ingenious
and interesting theory, but it has suffi-
cient color of fact to make it extreme-
ly suggestive. Ev»ry thoughtful reader
asks himself, *' May it not be the true
explanation of a strange and awful
mystery?"
The intelligent and liberal-minded
portion of the public do not regard
Judas with the same detestation and
hate as did their ancestors. They are
rather inclined to pity one who suilered
so terribly for a crime he was foreor-
dained and predestined to commit. If,
say these charitable people, this man
was set apart from all eternity to betray
his Master, and then damqf d to all eter-
nity for doing it, why should we pile
our puny curses upon his heaven-blast-
ed head ? Why not indulge ourselves
in the wish that the drama of redemp-
tion could have been accomplished
without this exhibition of infernal
treachery, without this dismissal of a
poor wretch to inexorable and in-
terminable perdition? Perhaps when
philosophical theologians succeed—
to the satisfaction of minds un-
assisted by the magnifying powers
of exhaustless faith—in reconcil-
ing predestination and foreordination
with free will, the problem which Judas
embodies may be solved. But not be-
fore. Meanwhile he must serve to point
all the morals and adorn all the tales
which require an unadulterated villain
whom it is an act of piety to kick.

The Rlgnold Kiss.
Celia Logan, in the New York Bis
patch, writes:
The Rignold kiss is quite celebrated.
In the last act of King Henry Y, he
says to Katherine:
Oh, Kate, nice customs curt'sy to
great kings—therefore, patiently and
yielding."
He wheels her around till she faces
liim, then draws her close, presses his
lips to hers, and keeps them there, until
at last her head sinks upon his breast.
Meanwhile an almost breathless silence
reigns throughout the front of the
house, and when the suspense, engen-
dered by the kiss is over, one simulta-
neous sigh of relief escapes the specta-
tors.
The Rignold kiss can not be too se-
verely condemned. It, and Miss Neil
son's reckless and sensuous caresses,
have introduced on the boards a free-
dom in such matters which can not but
have a vicious tendency among the
young and inexperienced who visit
theaters.
It has no demoralizing effect upon
the artists themselves, for the reason
have given before; it is to them merely
a bit of " stage business," and nothing

The postmaster at Galveston wishes
it understood that the occasion for the
following complaint in a News special
from Austin was not given in his office,
viz:
The mail bags containing the News pack
ages for Palestine came through with Auatiu
labels, and Austin pack&geR no doubt have
gone to Palestine. This disappoints your
readers at both points.
These labels were affixed by a route
agent between Galveston and Houston
A similar instance of error occurred not
long ago with papers destined for
Brenham and Marshall, which at firs
was attributed to the Galveston office
and afterwards ascariaia?d to have oc-
curred elsewhere.
