The London Papers on the Belknap
Scandal


The London Papers on the Belknap
Scandal.
LONDON, March 4.-The Times, this
morning says editorially Of the Belknap
scandal: This event,is more grave because
it is confrmatery of suspicion which has
long prevailed among American people.
Even we Europeans cannot but be struck
with the altered tones in which Americans
speak, if not of their institutions, at least
Of men who have the present direction of
,hen.
The News, alluding to the same, sub
ject, says, American political life seems to
be in anything but healthy condition. 1t
refers to the whiskey fraud trials, the
Emma mine scandal, and the downfall of
Belknap, and says that these scandals lift
the veil from a class of society which it
was hitherto pretty generally supposed
had as yet escaped the impurities OF the
social strata below, and they lead one to
tear that some OF the worst views OF
municipal government may be pereolatlng
into our federal administration.
The telegraph says, sDlsclosure after dis
closure, charge after charge, varying in
degrees of truth, but with the same ugly
and uutoward character, have lately
darkened commercial, religious, judicial
and administrative instructors 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 blush of shame and
anxiety into face of all honest Americans
and to make countless friends Of the re
public in this country silent and sorrowfu
when its enemies rejoice over these recur
ring revelations.
The Standard says, Happily the coun
tries are few where SO gross an abuse o.
trust would be possible.
