The Presidents Champion.

1t is worthy of remark hat the
Senators who where most conspicuous
as champions of the President, in the
recent San Domingo controversy. are
exactly those who now represent the
least real public sentiment in that
Chamber. Almost every one of them
was rebuked or discarded at the late
elections, and those who do not belong
to that category are Influenced by
personal motives that are perfectly
understood here.
MI. Morton, who proposed the res.
olution, only technically represents
the State of Indiana. He was defeat

MURDEROUS E7IQOETTE.
The Times says


"Adyices from Shanghai Of Oct. II contain the curt
announcement. The COrean expedition seems to have
been given up this statement turns out TO be cor
reot Il Is one which the country viii not hear with much
sasfactiou Having got into vexatious sduabbe with
parcel OF sembarbarous Orientals 1t highly de-
rabe that we should least eKtricate ourselves from
IL with dignity. We have simply succeeded In making
the Coreans our lasting enemies and have allowed them
TO form q mistaken idea Of our weakness To obtain
any sort Of consideration in the East nation must
have some inteigibe policy. 1t must either abstain
from the employment Of force TO protect i subjects
whatever be the ourages to which they have been sub
iected Or II 1t Is TO employ powder and shot In the In
terests of commerce and civilization must see that the
dose ia strong enough to produce the desired effect OF
better behavior n the future. In Cores we have blum
dered between the two policies and have retired without
either glory satSfaotiOn"
THE TRIBUNE protests against the forego-
ing, both as q statement Of facts and as an ex-
hibition of National morality. It denies that
" ,Oc have blundered," if by " we" the American
People or their Government is intended. One
of our naval officers, on the other side Of the
globe, has "blundered" into q little war of
his own, and has butchered, through misap-
prehension, some scores If not hundreds of
the Coreans. So far as we are yet advised,
this massacre was not ordered by our Govern
ment, and has not been approved by 1t. So
long at least as Hamilton Fish conducts our
foreign affairs, we trust it will not be.
The fact that one Of our feet-captains has
"blundered" into a culpable slaughter of inno-
cent human beings, 30 far from committing Us
to persistence in that criminal folly, should
impel US to "cease to do evil: learn to do
"well" Our commodore was unaware, when he
opened fire on the Coreans, that they had
transmitted full and satisfactory explanation
of the matter which he had miSconstrued to
their prejudice-a reply which clears them Of
all wrong. The "dose" which we ought now
TO administer to that outraged people Is
one Of explanation and apology. To
"dosen them with moro shell and grape, In
view Of the known facts, would be wanton,
inexcusable murder. Such q "dosen might be
ever 90 "strong" without inducing other SEN
timents In the breasts of the victims than
those Of grief, indignation, and hatred. Let
Us try instead one dose" Of apology and re-
paration; for this need not be "strOng" to go
cure the desired effect.

The announcement that the "Russianizing"
of the Baltic provinces Of Russia is going for
ward. by order of the Imperial Government,
10 rather stale. Russia has long pursued the
policy of compelling tho people Of its provinces
to use, none other than the national Language.
The severest penalties have been visited upoH
tho conquered Poles who dared to speak their
own yernacular, and the Lvonians and Es-
thonians have been followed persistently with
Imperial edicts forcing the use Of the Russian
tongue into their schOols, churches, and even
into the streets and cafes. This state Of
things 70 unhappy for the provincials, but 1t 10

1t is matter for regret that the suit
brought against the owners of the ferry boat
Westfeld by the widow of killed passenger
was not moro satisfactorily ended, the jury
having failed to agree. But Judge Nelson Of
the Brooklyn Court summarily Overruled the
ridiculous notion to dismiss the proceedings
on the ground that the deceased was killed
while violating the law against Sunday trav-
cling. The Judge characterized as perfectly
monstrOus" any legislation which might make
any company unaccountable for the lives of
multitude of passengers because they were
killed on Sunday. This pitiful plea disposed
of, one might suppose there would be no diff
Guilty in mulcting the ferry company in ex-
emplary damages; but the jury were 90 be-
logged that they could not agree.

The Toronto Globe, semi-of1cial organ Of the New
Dominion, is indignant that ONeill and his compan-
IONS arrested by United States troops for attempt
ing raid on Fort Garry, Manitoba, were subee-
quently released by the United States Commissioners
on account Of "no Jurisdiction" The Globe may
moderate its rancor, aathe excuse was not frivolous
nor was the want Of jurisdiction pleaded. There
was no evidence brought before the u. s. Commits
siOner ct st. Paul, Mimi, to prove that ONers eI-
petition hadAny military character; and tho absence
Of such testimony was the cause of the failure Of tho
whole casa. When We recolect the farcical and for
lorn appearance Of ONeiIl and his comrades who
merely captured breakfast At Fort Garry, and took
70 their heels when the United States soldie"
came In sight We can well understand that the
I" raid" was not military.
