LONDON. January 6.-The Daily M,rs,
discussing Blains's circular to the Re
publies OF Central and South America.
proposing q conference at Washington,
says. the meaning OF the project Is the
establishment OF an American protecto-
rate over both Central and South Amer
lea. Blaiue's %pretensions IRE novel and
eItrnvagant. They were never contem-
plated by the originator OF the Monroe
Doctrine, under which an attempt will
probably be made to shelter them. Now
that Frelinghuyssn has succeeded
Blaine, there Is at least o hope that
some rational basis Of negotiations can
be arrived at. That American interests
In the Pacific have greatly increased
since tho Clsyten.B ulwer treaty was
signed. admits Of no doubt; but 1t Is
quite an open question whether England
Is not interested In the Panama canal
yet moro deeply. That England, with
her vast American possessions and car
ryine trade, should become Q party to
a. agreement to yield the canal into
American hands and acknowledge the
suzsrainty OF the United States Of the
entire Western Hemisphere. is o dream
beyond the domain OF practical politics.

SUSPICIOUS CHANGE OF OPINION.

Although General Grant may be honest
in his recently expressed opinion that
Fitz John Porter has been greatly
abused. and that his sentence OF dis
missal from the army was an act OF in
justice. IL will be Q difficult matter to
make people generally believe 30. Grant
had all the opportunities to learn the
facts in tho case when as President he
approved Portsr's sentence. that be has
had during the last few months. For 1t
must net DO forgotten that II is only
about . year ago that Grant said he had
gone over the evidence in Porter's case
Q number OF times. and the only error
In the case. as be understood It. Was that
Porter was not shot instead Of dismissed
from the service. Yet now. just at the
time that . bill IL introduced In the
United States Senate to place Grant on
the retired list Of the army. we learn Of
his sudden change Of opinion upon the
case Of Porter. The matter certainly
looks bad. and appears much like q bar.
gain between Grant and Porter. or be-
tween their friends. to the effect that II
Grant will exert his influence TO have
Portsr's case rsepensd, Portsr's friends
will carry through Congress Logsn's bill
to place Grant ON the retired list Of the
army. /, appears so much like a bar.
gain that it will DO almost impossible TO
make people believe to the contrary.
A bargain Of this nature 10 In keeping
with Grants entire course since he was
first elected President. His advocacy Of
the San Domingo scheme when Presi.
dent, q scheme which has since been
shown to have been gotten up by o
coteris Of spectators; his action in con-
usction with the st. Louis whisky ring;
his appointments Of two judges to the
bench Of the Supreme Court to have q
former financial decision reversed; his
adherence to such friends a. Babcock.
Williams, Sheppard and a host Of that
class when almost everybody believed
they were d~siraudipg the government;
his travels around the world on money
presumably contributed by the syn.
dicates who had got rich by the sale
OF government bonds-all these things
tend to convince people that be has ever
been ready to bargain principle for per-
sonal sain. It is 10 be hoped that the
time will not be long before the people
find this man out. When they do. the
great receiver Of presents will be as
heartily dsspised as he has been wor.
shipped.
1t appears that the bill to place Grant
on the retired list Of the army overrides
present military laws. Tho retired list
is. by law. for army officers. Grant is o
civilian. Q banker. not or army officer.
and for that reason Logan's bill is unjust
to old army officers who are awaiting
their turn for vacancies. But the thing
that Grant will not accept from generous
donors 10 not yet known.
