MOST people will think that it is carr ; ing criminal jurisprudence to too pron nn extreme when a confessed mimlorc is required to establish the accuracy o his confcsiiou by nn actual operation , i luis just buon done in Brussels. Tin : story that tlio late Hubert C Thompson , the Now York democrat ! politician , committed suicide , is ropcate with additional evidence supporting tl : theory. It is not unlikely that the < l vclopmonta in the trial of Squires an Flynn will supply further reasons wli Thompson should have desired to oscap n catastrophe which ho must have sen was imminent. There is a lesson in thcs events for both politicians and people , : they would but learn them.

The senatorial campaign has oponec General Van Wyck's simple and maul appeal to the voters of Nebraska for the : support on his record strikes the koynoi of the canvass , it is a pica for n squat and upon contest , iu which tlio merit the candidates shall be thu test ratlu than the chicanery of the polit eians. In challenging his oppi nonts to face tlio people an show the grounds upon whic tlioy base their candidacy , the senate frankly gives tlio basis upon which li stands and asks for a re-election. Th ; basis is faithful service on behalf of h : constituents , unswerving adherence t liis pledges and a bold , fearless and hoi est advocacy of the interests of the pc < pie of his state without regard to the mo or measures with which sucii intcresl clashed. Senator Van Wyck's candidacy is a open and an honest ono. For the lin limo in the history of the state , ho boldl appeals for a popular vote under th constitutional proviso and announce himself willing to abide by the resul Believing that the heart of tlic peopl is with him because ho has kept himsel in the performance of his public dutic close to the heart of his constituents , h has no fears of the outcome of such a anpcal. Professional politicians an political attorneys whose value to the coi porations has chiolly consisted in thei ability lo hoodwink the people and ovei ride the will of voters will not favor thi novel departure. But tlio public wh have so elton scon corrupt tricksters an amiable nonentities elevated to high oflic by representatives who have betrnye their trust will heartily approYo of Hi senator's proposal. Bond CaH. The announcement was mndo earl last week from Washington that the a < ministration had decided to show som regard for the Wish of a majority of il party and of the people , and to use a pai of the surplus in the treasury in payin off a portion of the bond obligations c the government. It was said that upo n more careful examination of the treai ury situation ainco the adjournment c cougress , the conclusion had bee reached that the surplus , probably vor nearly to the amount contemplated b the rcsolmJonDt Mr.Morflsojt can b safely used in the redemption ot bond : Knowing the actual demands upon tli treasury in the form of appropriation : and being able to estimate very closol the probable revenues of the year , Hi secretary is enabled to see his COUK moro clearly and surely than it was poss ble for him to do in advance of tlio at journment ; and having the entire discn lion iu the matter ho has decided that call of bonds Is expedient. This is gratifying concession to the popular di mand that the millions lying id ! in the treasury In excess of the rcquln m-jnts of tLo government shall bo on ployed In paying off the public debt ail reducing the annual interest charge. ; is also a plain confession of the correc ness of the opiuioa that the surplus coul bo wisely nnd safely employed in th way. It suggests that either the jucl } ment of those who maintained Hi opinion was bettor than that of the troa ury , or lhat tliO'Oppositlou of Iho laltc was made chlelly * for the purpose of re talnlngtho discretionary power in tl matter , which , indeed , was the gravame of the argument from this source agaiui the Morrison resolution. It is reported that the action of tl assistant secretary of the treasury i making a call for bonds is strongly coi domncd by Treasurer Jordan , not wholl upon llnnncial grounds , but as ui unwh concession to tlio extreme clement i congress. It is not understood that th is a matter with which Mr. Jordan lu anything to do , but it has bccomn a hab with that oUiclal who is really nothin moro than a chief clerk to make himso prominent In connection with treasury u fairs , whether they aHented his oraueh c thnsorvico or not , thereby gaining a m torioty which neither his position nor h ! ability entitles him to , Jordan was Now York banker , nnd it need not r f.alil that all his views and methods at in ucoorU with the financial interests < that section. He ronld bo spared froi the financial department of the goven mcnt , und tlicro will bo no general n gret If he shall carry out his reported d < termination to resign. TUB special plans for the basement c the city hall have been received at th engineer's oflloe , and there will bo n further excuse for putting oil'tlio prolin inarios for building.

Besides sK months in limn wi be saved. It n Political Hue. It Is n controlling tondiMicy of pi litieal parlies to turn everything to a < count that can possibly bo pi-rvorlcd i colored In Iho interest of ono to then jury of the other. This linds nn ilhMri tion in the Mexican controversy. Co tain extreme republican journals , nt tl beginning of the difficulty , professed I RCO In it a deeply planned democrat ! conspiracy to inaugurate a war in ordi to pcrpotunto that party In power , and rather feeble and inconclusive attemi was made on Iho part of some of them I find a parallel In the democratic scheni of aggrandizement and slavery oxfonsio lhat was the chief motive In the last wr with Mexico. On the otiicr hand , tl : statement is made that in lulmlnistratlo circles , or at least in the state depar ment , the Impression urcvails that Hi dillieulties in the way of n settlumci Have been created not so much by Mo.\ cans n.s by obliging friends in this com try , who , in their ollbrls to embarrass Hi administration , have suggested t Hie Mexican authorities mctliot of opposition which pcrliar. . they would not have thougl of. It is even claimed that the oflbrts c Mr. Olaino's friends have been e.xertc to strengthen Hie attitude of Mexico i order to hhow that "Mr. Bayard hn acted with too much haste and has bee too exacting. " A very little analysis will show Iho al surdlty of both these positions. In Hi first place It must be remembered tin the primary causa of the arrestof Cuttin was the fact of his having slandered citizen of Mexico , one Emiglio Mcdin : and it , WHS a purely personal and bus ness affair that led him to do thii Medina , had announced his intention t publish a paper in Paso del Nortc , an with the purpose of damaging the pr < jcct Cutting denounced him as a rasea deadbeat , etc. When arrested Cutlin signed a form of "reconciliation" prt rided for by the Mexican law aud wn allowed to go , but it is alleged again pi the libel in circulation and was rca ; rested , when it is charged ho committo the further offense of putting liin self in contempt of the cour Now Qit is possible that this las act may have been in a measure due t the advice of Consul Brigham , but to assume sumo thatnp to this stage the administrr tion or any responsible part of it had anj thing to do with promoting the difficult is too obviouslyridiculous to be acccopte by any man of intelligence and camloi Inquiry as to the character of Cuttin shows him to be a very worthless , uti principled und troublesome fellow , vcr far from being the sort of man wliic would bo holcctcd bv any rcsponsibl body of men roprcscnling a party to I the chief actor in a conspiracy intcnde lo involve two friendly governments i war. war.Tho charge that friends of Mr. Blaim or anybody else other than perhaps th American minister nnd consul , have bee instrumental in embarrassing tlic admh istrnl on in Hits matter is no less stupid ! ridiculous than the other nssumptioi Even if Hie Mexican government wet not abiindanlly able lo take care of il own diplomatic controversies il certain ! would not seolc or accept advic from American politicians. It could fin no end of counsellors in other direction in which it would have moro confidence But it Is not apparent that the friends c Mr , Blaine could have any object to sorv by intermeddling. They certainly coul not ' ! 0je to bring the aifiiiiiitstration hit disrepute with the people for prompt ! , asset ting the authority of thogovcrnmer in behalf of an American citizen who wi believed to hnvo been denied his righl and unjustly dealt witli by a foreign go\ \ eminent. If friends of Mr. Blaine wcr speaking for him this is not , the positlo they would bo expected to take , fo promptness , decision and firmness on th uait of the government in protecting il citizens is n cardinal part of the politic : policy and capital of Mr. Blaine. Il i unnecessary , however , lo multiply illtii tralions of the absurdity of the allcmr of certain newspapers to give the conlrt vorsy witli Mexico a political hue. The may secure the concurrence of n few o > tromo partisans , but the great majorit of the intelligent public will have no dil ( iculty in seeing the ridiculous charade ot their iiBatimptlons. Tlio Proslilcmt'H Voracity. Mr. Cleveland is not an ardent ai mirer of thn newspapers. Ho doesn't bi licvo they are truthful and trustworthy and ho hasn't licsitalod to say so who opportunity enabled him to do so. In hi well-remembered letter to the editor c Puck ho accused the newspapers of lyin generally nnd mcauly , at this time mor than over before , and in this oountr , moro than iu any other country. II characterized this habit as an insult t Iho love of decency and fair play t which Americans boast. Wo arc nr aware lhat Mr. Cleveland over rotracte or qualified this accusation , but quite n contly ho has shown that his opinion c last December is his opinion still , No many days ago in a letter to n Florid man he expressed sui prlso that the geutlt man should have boon annoyed by no\v ; paper lalk , knowing "Iho utter nnd coir ploto recklessness and falsification i which they so generally Indulge. " For the strength of his cause th record of the accuser should b clean and above reproach. Ho' li it with the president ? Th Washington Post , a domoorallc paper high character , makes a statement in ar swur to the question. It stales lhat th editor of that journal , hearing the report that the collector at Now York was aboi to bo replaced , called on the preslden and nskcd if there was any basis of fac m Iho rumors. It - * as the privilege c the president to have told him that li had no information on the subject t impart , that ho dh a't desire to talk abou the matter , or that it was no business a the editor. But lid didn't do this. 11 informed tlic nowsp.tpet man that llct den had not rcsl nccf , had not bee asked to resign , nmj tlfat there was IK a word of truth In. the tcports rcgardln a proposed chnngOrin th * Now Yor custom house. The editor returned t his ollico nnd his paper appeared wit the information he had received dlrcctl from Iho lips of Iho president consplei oii'Iy printed in n double leaded arllcli It wa.s an exceedingly important matti of general concern , anil the journal ! : treated it ns such , warranted in so doln by tlio word of tin * highest olllcii authority in the natichi. But williln few hours after the paper had given tli information to the public on the author ! ) of the executive , an olllcinl bulletin wr issued announcing that Mnaono had sin cccdcd Hoildcn. There was no mistal ing the fact Hint Mr. Cleveland had mi represented the situation to tlio cdltc and led him to commit the fault whic ho charges Is general with the new paper * . To put it plainly , the prcsldei had deliberately and shamelessly liet under circumstances that gave him m the least excuse for falseliood. Perhaps thu is not the only case tin could bo cited to show that Mr. Clcvt land is not incapable of falseliood , or form of prevarication Hint has a vcr close Kinship to it. But this is enough t disqualify him for Hie present as a jtii and trustworthy censor of tlic press.
