The London Press on the Bel
knnp Scandal.

knnp Scandal.
LONDON, March 4.-Thc Times thi
morning, says editorially Of the Belknal
scandal: "This event is the more eravt
because il is confrmatory OF suspicion
which has longed prevailed among tn
American people. Even We European
cannot but be struck with the alteret
tones in which Americans speak, II not o
their institutions, at least OF the men whl
have the present direction Of them"
The NeivS, alluding to the same subject
says the American political life seems tc
be in anything but q healthy condition
1t refers to the whisky fraud trials, the
Emma Mine scandal and the downfall o.
Belknap, and aysthat these scandals Lift
the vail from class Of society which il
was hitherto pretty generally supposed
had as yet escaped the impurities ofthc
social strata below, and they lead one to
fear that some Of the worst vices Of mu.
nicipal government may be pcrcolating
into tho Federal administration.
The Telegraph says: disclosures after
disclosures, charges after charges, vary
ing in degrees OF truth, but with, at the
same time, ugly and untoward character,
have lately darkened the commercial,
religious, judicial and Administrative insti-
tntions OF the United States. Some have
proved false, others true, and more await
evidence, but the general effect beyond
denial has been, and is, to bring the flush
OF shame and anxiety into the faces Of all
honest Americans, and to make the
countless friends Of the Republic in this
country silent and sorrowful when its en-
emies rejoice over these recurring revela-
tions."
The Standard says: Happily, the
countries are few where so gross an abuse
Of trust would be possible"

there was an almost general recovery,
but on the days operations n majority OF
the stocks were lower. Discount market
quiet and steady. Money plentiful, and
short loans are obtainable At st.
