Nh. BARRErrS RECEPTION IN LONDON.

iek IN "Yorick's Love-" scored decided success this
evening There was present large and critical audience
from the highest rank OF the theatregong public. At
first the actor was favorably received, but AS the
play advanced the house warmed into sympathy with
him. the end Of the FIST act he greeted with
a round OF applause The enthusiasm increased during
the performance OF the second act aud the brilliant and
pathetic acting of the American electrified his British a
disnce.
When the curtain fell the last Barrett was
called several tImes lie expressed his gratitude In few
brief sentences with nodest and wechosen words He

shows his strong sense of prOprety by refrain
ing from any complaints or determinations. To
the last he evidently hoped that MIR. Freling-
huyscn would show appreciation of the stua-
ton, and give him the firm support to which he
was entitled. The sequel, however, must have
convinced Mr.. Sargent that his chief did not
grasp che case apprehendingly at all, and that
it had been resolved virtually to sacrifice him
under the transparent pretence of giving him
another mission
Mr.. Sargent must, we think, be acquitted of
all responsibility for the catastrophe. Prince
Bismarck evidently acted in pettish and spite
full, and frequently irrational, manner, thus ag-
gravating the quarrel But the initial blunder,
and the most serious Of those which followed,
and for which Mr.. Sargent suffered vicaIious
punishment must be laid at the door OF the
State Department. while it is equally clear that
the House of Representatives gave the late
Minister to Berlin the coup de grace with the
"ineptr Laskcr resolution.

THE CASE OFMG. SARGEYT

In another column we print an interview with
Mr.. Sargent, which has the special interest of
showing his side OF the recent controversy. Mr.
Sargent was Intercepted before the State De-
partment had informed him of its singular
method of indicating him, and, as was to be
expected, his remarks are guarded and cautious,
as BELTS diplomaist. But he makes il clear
that the whole Of the trouble grew out of the
simple fulfilment of his instructions III regard
to the pork prohibition decree, and that the
Lasker resolution merely proved the one drop
which made the cup of Bsmarck's anger over
flow. 1t is further apparent that the personal
hostility manifested by the Chancellor to Mr..
Sargent was without any rational justification,
since it certainly cannot be admitted
that the Minister of this Republic at
Berlin was under any obligation to select
his acquaintance with sole reference to their
relations with Bismarck, and since Mr. Sar gent
was, according to his own statement, special
careful not to afford Just ground for the kind of
attacks which the reptile press" actually
made upon him. In effect, he appears to have
been fully alive TO the difficulties of his posi-
ton difficulties, it must be plainly stated, which
were prepared for him by the State Depart
ment of his own Government whose ignorance
of diplomatic usages, and stupidity IN pub
fishing his confidential dispatches, really rem
dered his post almost untenable from the first.
So gross a blunder as this naturally irrtated
a trained diplOmatist like Bismarck, but he APP
pears to have held Mr.. Sargent responsible for
the faults of Mr.. Frelinghuysen, which certainly
was not just. 1t is difficult to see how any
Minister could have behaved more judiciously,
or with more dignity and self-respect. than Dir.
Sargent did. But it is clear that he was not
only not supported by the State Department;
he was repeatedly prevented by 1t from re-
trieving the ground which we had lost at
Berlin thrnneh its incompetence Mr.. Sargent

sacking of encyclopedias aud other works by eager
seekers after information. The Aforesaid paper

THE DYNAMITE 1RRESTS.

The London press needs to be cautioned
against premature displays of viGor. The ar
rest of two dynamite suspects Is followed ut IA
moments notice with a renewal of denuncationS
of the American Government. The London
Times apparently is so deeply impressed with
the urgency of admonition and rebuke that it
keeps a long article standing III type ready for
insertion whenever there is an explosion, or an
arrest. or the smallest episode in the dynamite
campaign. Whatever happens, the shril de-
mand is repeated that the United States au
thorities must suppress these dHbolical con
spiracics-must discover evidence of them and
act upon it, This demand is invariably coupled
with the sententiOus observation that there Is no
other country in ChristendOm where similar IL
cense is given to dynamite workers, or where
public opinion wOuld endure the stigma to
which America ignobly submits. On the present
occasion the force of the article is slightly inn
paired by disclosures from Paris showing that
these enemies of the human race are making
France base of operations III their detestable
warfare.
For these exccrablc dynamite iiends Amcri-
cans can have only one feeling-that of abhor-
renee. This has been said so many times in
these columns that it is scarcely necessary to
repeat phrases that are well worn and familiar.
The dynamite campaign is as wicked as it Is
stupid-as fiendish as it is preposterous. But
let this country be spared these continuous
curtain lectures from London. If there be no
proof except suspicion that an explosion has
been caused by Irish Americans, or that con-
Spirators actually arrested have recently been
in New York and have been hired or bribcd
here to do their abominablc work there, let the
evidence be discovered and meanwhile let the
London press hold its peace. The English peo-
pie have no reason to complain Of the attitude
of the Amer can Government. The Attorney
Generals recent circular to marShals and dis
trict-attorncys cyinced a resolute purpose to
take proper precautions on the scaboard. De-
tcctves here cannot do anything that cannot
be done equally well in English seapOrts, where
steamers from America are constantly arriving.
Nevertheless, Federal officials ought to render
what aid they can III preventing the shipment
Of dynamite and in giving English detectives
notice of the movements of suspicious persons.
This disposition to cooperate with the British
authorities will not be strengthened by denunci-
ations of the London press. nor by the elastic
assumption that every plot and outrage brought
TO light in England is of necessity of American
origin.

PAINTING WHITE ELEPHANTS.

An exciting controversy has arisen between
Messrs. Barnum and Forepaugh, and their re-
spectve adherents, as to the Cenuineness of the
color of al alleged white elephant belonging to
Mr.. Forepaugh. The Democratic leaders are evil
DENLY watching the case with deep and absorb
ing interest, for it POSSESSES peculiar signili
canoe for them. They too have al elephant-a
tariff elephant-on their hands, but they have
hitherto vainly endeavored to get it disguised
either with paint or whitewash sand-pa
or any other device or expedient. 1t Is true
that even if they could succeed in these efforts
their troubles would not be over, for what they
need is some means of dematerializing their ele-
phant at will, of causing it to vanish and reap
pear after the fashion of the Cheshire Cat in
Wonderland An elephant fitted with all the
latest spiritualiSt machinery, and capable Of
being put in atmospheric solution, so to speak,
would just now be invaluable TO the Democratic
party. The beast they possess Il certainly not
the right kind. He suits neither Mr.. Morrison
nor Mr. Randall He is not merely too white
for one and not white enough for the other, but
he is altogether too much of an elephant in
every way.
An elephant which was vapOrEable, as sug-
gcsted. would clearly be an immense boon, with
capital b. For it would not then be neces-
sary to resort to bubbles as to his color. 1t
could be boldly asserted whenever necessary
that in point of fact there was no elephant. As
the case stands this is impossible. The animal
is on the hands Of the party, and he weighs con-
sideIably more than five tons; and the mclan-
choly fact remains that whether he is called
white or gray or spotted or slatc-colored or
black he is still an elephant, with all that the
name implies.
Therefore while the Democrats may naturally
watch the Barnum. Forepaugh dispute with a
hungry kind of interest it is evident that they
cannot derive from the spectacle anything like
a permanent solution of the problem which
worries them. Nothing short OF the metamOr
phosis Of their elephant into Cheshire Cat can
effect their enfranchisement and it is to be
feared that the agencies for producing so desir
able a change Al not attainablc.
