The Cutting Case.
The only question in the Cut'ing
case is, did he ciiculate the libel he
published, in Mexico? If he did, the
Mexican governu ent had the right to
i try him; and if conviction resulted,
. to pu< ish him as their law directs. If
( be did publish the libel in Texas, and
, did notcirculate or reuse them to be
circulated in Mexico, he cannot be
punished. Any law that the Repub
i lie or any one of the Slates may
i have, making it illegal for a man t<
. do in another country what he has
been forbidden iodo in Mexico, will
not be recognized in the United
States, and the govern mentis bound
to protect its ci'izens from the oper-
I ations of such a law.
Just what was proven in Cutting’.-.
> trial is a matter of doubt. The Mex
. ican minister declares in IPushing
, 'ton that the circulation in Mexico of
the libel by Cutting was completely
establish* d. On the othet hand, the
point made against him in the trial
J was that he broke his forced agree
ment of reconciliation with Medina.
. and repeated the libel by pub ishing
. it in Texas; that it was republication
r of the libel, that is, the breaking of
j the agreement of reconciliation and
j. the contempt of the court that enfor
ced it, which made him liable. Teh.-
* grams to prominent papers seem to
agree that i was not proven that Cut
ting circulated or caused to be circu
lated the libel in Mexico.
If, then, it is true that Cutting re
ally circulated the libel in Mexico,he
is right!i lly convicted, ar d this gov
» erument will have to wiihdraw its
1 demands and be content to ask as a
1 matter of courtesy a modification nf
the sentence. If, on the other hand,
> Cutting has not been lawfully con
-5 vicled.’he demands must be enforced
' -
> plomatic inquiry will at once be insti
tuted to determine the points describ
ed.
It is to be hoped that Secretary
Bayard lias not acted hastily in his
i demands. It would be humiliating
for the United Slates to have to
* withdraw its'demands after the Mex
icans haw hurried guns and soldiers
i io the frontier, and the humiliation
* would rest upon the Ifom mralic
t party. But justice must be done at
all hazards, pvrty nt no party.
The Burden of Taxation.
One of the way s the Inn den of tax*
atiori is shifted from the alrudders
of wealth, on to the shoulders oi
poverty.
B. C. and D. are poor men m m
ey poor, tho’ of wealth they may
have a fair proportion. “B’’ owes
Css, but being without money gives
him a note of hand; ‘C” owes D and
is forced to the same expedient,”D”
owes”B”nnd he also settles with
a note, comes the first of April
and the tax receiver, and as each
considers his note good,,opposite
the name of enc'’, on tho tax digest,
under the head of “notes and solvent
accounts,” apjiears for taxation a
$5 note, and so each are forced to
pay tax on their mon?y poverty to
the tune of five dollars, making it
appear upon the tax digest as prop
erty ag^regitingfl 15,when in truth
there is not one c *nt of projierty in

of men represented by big A of the
alphabet, who has the representation

has not, in bis keeping, one cent’s
worth thereof, but has that which

WHO IS TO BLAME ?
In which are the common people
most deeply concerned?. The per
petuation of good government, or a
bad part}?
When we «ay common people, we
know that, taking the self estimate
of a large majority of men, there
won dbe no lommon peopb; there-'
fore we view men from an individual
standpoint and see all men, except,
ourself, “as others see us.”and so see
ing. we ask you as an individual one
of the people, in a'l seriousness,
what will you vain by the election to
office, of this, that or the other man
if there is no other than the question
of man involved? Again, do you not
suffer in common with all the com
mon people by voting office a
man you regard as corrupt and unfit
to administer the affaiis of your
government, even tho’his nomination
to office is at the hands of s party
with which you affil’at*? Docs not
the fact that such a man can secure
the nomination of the party, prove
that party is no longer worthy your
affiliation? And if you indorse this
action, by voting for. this corrupt
nominee, are you not equally respon
sible, before God and man,for the ev
il effects of putting such a man in
office, as is the instigator of the
fraud and chicanery by which the
nomination was secured?.
We believe them is a principle in,
law,and that it is a correct princepie ,
bolding a party who becomes con
versant withihe perjietralion of a crime
and fails to divulge it, as himself
guilty, as accessory; upon that same
principle, are not you, who, knowing
the crime of foisting an unworthy
officer upon the people is being com
mitted, yaurself guilty ofj the crime'
whenever you not only fail to divulge,
but aid with your vote. And what can
be thought of a man who opposes a
candidate upon high moral grounds
asserting and proving the candidate
unworthy, in every respecr, the pdsi- 4
tion he seek*, who just so soon as
this immoral, unworthy and viclotts
candidate secures the
no mntM r by what methods^—luHts a

in n ? The people who give the sub*.'
ject a thought wij any you were ei u
lher l\ing, for effect, when you w‘crfi
denounoi n g the man, or cine, \ou I
have not the courage of you* (
convictions and would rather ‘tlie'
people would suffer from th.*! bad ad T
minis ration of a ba-i man, than that
your party—your dear party, and.
such a party is a very dear party to
the people—will suffer. And so it.
s<*cms >hat in the estimation of men,
party is superior to con try; sink,
sink, the country, death to patriotic
emotion; but save, oh! save the par--
ty. And men have allowed them
selves to become so bound to party
chat when its existence is at stake,
patriotism, Christianity, morality,
charity, brotherly love and neighbor
ly ami'y, must give place to the p*r
tv, giving no regard to principles,
policy or economical administration.
Men go to the polls and vote them
selves into bondage, an I then, when
the chains of theirown make begin
to chafe and gaul their fl :sh, they
cry out damnation to hard times, *nd ,
trj’ to make a senpe go it of nature
and nature’s God. And so they suffer
and weaken until the next election
gives them another opportunity,
when agtin they go to the polls and
put additional rivets, links and barb*
into iheir chains.
These things you do my friends,pt
the common people,an<i you do more,
you attack oneofyoar number who
would do better, and try to force him
to keep and hug and fondle hisolaos,
and like whipped dogs lick the hands
of those who smite you. You ostra
cise and villify one who would lie
free, and would Xhat you should
be also free. You go to conventions
and see and feel the < ffects of trickery
and fraud. You realize the injus- j
tice and wrong that is done. You
denounce the wrong until election
d»y, and then you go to the pulls
and vote to sustain it, and that i* ex
actly what th j jjerpetrators oi the
wrongs knew you would do, and
is sufficient justification for them.,
to practice tbe saase or a moreattro
eious fraud in Ute next campaign.
