in sending the resolution, and Bismarck was
ungrscious in returning it. Granting, how
ever, that Bismarck was right in refusing to
praise Herr Lasker, his organs are wrong in
reviliDg Minister Sargent. The latter was
only obeying ais Government, and this is no
reason why be should be held up, 10 defiance
OF international courtesy and almost interna-
| tionsl law, to the contempt CT the German
people. It is said that Sargent is hardly
| careful enough of FERNS snd ceremonies to
please a court 50 formal as Berlin, but worse
moment then to try and induce him to re-
| siga could hardly have been chosen than at
| present, when his resignation would still fur
ther strain the relations between tyc eegns,.
| tries which ought to be on excellent terms.
