NY. Tribune.
Painful reports afo In circulation regarding
Inc treatment OF the United states Minister az
perrin by the German Government. IL fs SAID
that because OF Mr.. Sargents efforts TO procure
the removal OF the embargo upon American
PORK products, he hns Incurred the personal
enmity OF Prince Bismarck, and that the latter
has undertaken TO show his ill-will by ignor-
ing Mr.. Sargent altogether, and communicat.
ing directly with the Government at washing
ton. This Is scarcely credible, although In
the matter OF the I.asker resolutions It does ap.
pear that the return OF the document has not
been effected through Mr.. Sargent. But It IA
scarcely credible that any sustained treatment
OF this Kind should have occurred, because In
such n case the Washington Government must
have brought the facts before Congress, see
ing that the action ascribed to Prince Bismarck
would, II verified, bo not simply dscourtesy
10 Mr.. Sargent, but an insult TO the United
states. International comfy requires that,
when foreign embsesador has peon received,
the government that receives him snail thence
forth regard and treat him as tho accredited
agent and intermediary with and for his own
government, and that all ordinary business 70.
lating to his government shall pass through
his handsi and any self-respecting power
would instantly and forcibiy resent q slight
put upon Its ambassador.
To Ignore MIR. Sargent and to pass him over
as alleged is not merely TO humillate him, II
10 to show gross and deliberate disrespect 10
the Government that appointed him, and
whose honorod and trusted agent he Is. IL
Prince Bismarck has any charges to prefer
against him, he knows his remedy. 1t Is tho
right OF any government to object to an em
bnssador on personal grounds, provided tho
objections be reasonable. Tho United States
did this In the case OF NJ. Catacazy, and 1t has
been often done, from the time when Francis
the First refused TO receive Cardinal Pole be-
cause he was the personal enemy OF the kings
ally, Henry OF England, to the present time.
But nothing has been heard OF any charges
against Mr.. Sargent. He appears to have been
devoted to his duties, and II he has any fault
In the eyes OF German officials 1t must be tho
peculiar one of lookingtoo faithfully aftor his
country's interests.

Alleged Attempt TO Destroy Har.

WASHINGTON, ID. o., Feb. 81, 1881.
10 tie Editor Of The EUenin0 Critic:
From the recent adyices received from tho
city OF Erie, Pa, II looks as IL a war against
the Lighthouse Board OF the General Govern.
ment was unavoidable. Several years since
the State OF Pennsylvania coded 10 the United
states Presque Isle, containing 2,d0O acres
OF land, called the Peninsula, which forms the
barbor Of Erie. Recently tho Lighthouse
Board gave orders to cut down tho trees upon
the Island, assigning as reason that they OBJ
ecured tho light In the lighthouse which
stands at tho entrance Of the harbor. Tho peo-
pie OF Erie consider this piece OF vandalism,
and assert that II the trees which have been
eocrediy guarded for the past sixty years arc
cut of that the island, which Is but a bed OF
sand, VIII by the action nf the waves be washed
into the lake and thus destroy the harbor. A
meeting OF the citizens has been held, which
protested against the cutting OF the trees. 1t
was shown that there has been from time TO
time expended many thousand dollars to plant
and grow these troes TO protect the harbor.
RESOLUTIONS were passed requesting Congress-
man Bralnard TO appeal 10 the President 10
stay the hand OF tho Lighthouse Board This
same board, against the protest OF every lake
captain and OF tho citizens OF Erie, removed
the land lighthouse, which cost the United
States $4,000, and sold the ground upon
which II was erected for few hundred dol.

THE DistricG Commissioners seem to be
very much concerned lest the owners of tho
Aqueduct Bridge should sustain loss by
the erection of a free bridge elsewhere. Do
the Commissioners hold their offices for the
benefit of the public or to protect monop-
oly9 The Aqueduct Bridge has, for years
occupied the position of dog in the
manger as against free traffic with Virginia,
and is not entitled to any consideration at
the hands OF the public. What the people
want is free bridge, and, as there seems to
bc change of getting it at the Three Sis
ters' site, the Commissioners should favor
it. 1t is matter in which the whole pop
ulation is interested.
The Evening critic. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1881-1885, 1884-02-22

SUPPOSE it be true, as the Commissioners
say, that free bridge would benefiu George
town only, is that any reason why ono
should not be built? But it is not true.
1t will benefit all the people of the District.
1t behooves the Commissioners to remember
sometimes that all the money wrung from
the people by taxation is not to be expended
on Connecticut avenue and thereabouts.

A BILL was introduced IN tho Senate
the other day asking permission for certain
persons to build narrow gauge railroad
through portion of tho Yellowstone Park.
The clerk had hardly finished the reading
of the title before there were a half dozen
Senators on their feet knitting the proposi-
tion upon the ground that the park was
sacred soil, and that it was great National
park set apart especially for the benefit of
the Nation. These statesmen ought to be
consistent. They are not however, be-
cause one of them has reported bill grant
ing the right of way for railroad through
the Indian Territory, when he knows that
under the treaty Of 1866 but two railroads
could legally be authorized to run through
that country, and both those roads have
been built.
