LONDON, Sept 3, 1899.
The London Times to-day has an editorial on the
artcle BY Mrs. Stowe In relation 20 Lord aud Lady
Byron. The writer after commenting on the char.
acter and position OF Lord Byron, considers Mrs.
siCcSe's story faithful reproduction Of Lady
Byron's statement to her solicitors The latter do
not hesitate In Wanifeslng desire TO discredit, but
do not contradict the story. IL Is impossible that
Mrs. stowe understood once ana forgot afterward
the substantial part OF the statement but 1t Is per-
iectly possible and probable that the wife was VIC
tim OF deusl0n. We can ind nothing incompatible
with such hypothesis; on the contrary,
the story unintentonally confirms it. We
have vainly searched to see what Lord
Byron said and did 10 confirm the suspicion Of guilt,
and only find vague expressions that the wife was
fully convinced. The fact Is startling, but not the
less SO when we remember that she thought him IN
sane. We canDot conjecture how the wife came to
entertain the suspicion; but can easily understand
how. once entertaining it she first imposed on hreseJ
and then on Mrs. Stove 1t would only be what
thousands OF unhappy wives have done before. TO
have suspicious OF exceptional en0rmly. This quite
accounts for the doubts OF her husbands sanity and
the low opinion his own confessions may have led
her to form Of his morality.
The Pau Nall Gazette says on this subject
Whatever may be the reasons that determined Mr..
Wentworth and his sister to postpone the publcar
tion or Lady Byron's papers, Mrs. stowe cannot be
such serious oender II the grandchildren seriously
thought Of printing them. The solicitors, In their
letter, recently published, make no charge OF tn-
accuracy but OF tncompeteness. The inference v
that Mrs. StOwes statement D correct. but tnat
more remains TO be told
The London Post also has an article on the ques-
tion, wherein the writer says
As Lady ByrOn's Will committed her papers to the
care Of trnstees under certnin conditions and "a
Mrs. Stowe was not 0ne her story Is entirely gratui
tous and unauthorized. She has committed
breach Of confidence repOsed in her. ana the onence,
by her own showing, does not admit OF extenuatlon,
There was OF judgment In the matter. 1t ls
for Mrs. Stowe to explain her motives. 1t does not
signify whether Mrs. Stowe was ignorant of the
terms OF the will or not the violation Of confidence
the outrage ON the dead. the disregard OF the feel
ngs OF the living, are the same She ought to know
that the public conscience cannot be so offended
with impunity.
