SORE-HEARTED KENTUCFY.

Mr. Henry WattersOn who has just been pay
ing his respects to the President, was repres emit
ed as saying the other day, in re II to the in
ouiry why he did not visit the White House,
that he proposed first to see whether this
was a Democratic President" Mr.. Watleisln's
curiosity, not to call it anxiety, was of course
pardonable. He will remember that The
Louisville Courier-JourndI tried several times
to be quite severe, during tho last campaign
because it was alleged that Mr.. Cleveland was
not what genuine free-traders call tarlff-re-
former" And he may dmly remember that
when THE TRIBUNE pointed out the impropri-
ETY. of getting votes by false preIences, it was
severely and positively replied that the Demo
cratic party and its candidate were not deceiv-
ing or swindling the people at all. Perhaps not
But If not, whence this lofty Indignation in the
bosom of the chivalric free-trader of Kentucky
Simple justice is done Mr.. Watterson, no
doubt, in believing that he is sincere and hon
est opponent of the protective tariff. If the
paper which he is supposed to control does not
foully misrepresent him, he hates with q perfect
hatred-w what he, no doubt, would call holy
hatred-the system of protection, and all its
forms and phases, and the Democrats who ex-
cuse, defend or aid it, or shelter it from the
wrath of the people who, he fancies, are out
rageOusly robbed by it, If Mr.. Watterson is a
sincere and honest man, he would as soon think
of sharing the proceeds Of burglary with the
cracksmen IA TO share in the distribution OF
public Office and public plumber secured
by electing "Randallite" through
the false pretence that he was free
trader, or a free-trader through the false
pretence that he was a follower of Mr. Randall
But Mr. Cleveland was in point of fact elected
by one or the other of these modes of swindl-
ing, and Mr.. WattersOn may well be mean-
cholY and indignant when he perceives tina t
fact.
AS all men have human frailtes, and even
Mr. Watterson with the rest, it may DO inferred
that he would much rather be one of the persons
who did not. than one of the persons who did,
get swindled in the late election. 1t is human
nature to conceive that the very best place for a
boil is on some other mans nose. Mr.. Waiter
son would not himself defraud anybody, of
course. But il there must be swinding, and a
victim of swindling, he would prefer that the
victim should not be- named Watterson. Hence
il does not please him to have forced upon his

MR.. KELLEY KICKED UPSTAIRS.

The susceptiblites of the Italian Govern
ment have been respected. The President has
transferred Mr.. Kelley from Rome to Vienna,
where no objection can be raised TO his presence
as the diplomatic representative of the United
States. A change of base became question of
expediency as soon as "reminiscences Of his
Richmond harangue were published, and a
matter of necessity when he undertook to
Justify his denunciations of the act of usurpa-
tom whereby Victor Emmanuel had in
famously" occupied Rome in violation of Papal
rights The President has acted wisely in shift
ing him from diplomatic post where he would
have been certain to make himself personally
obnoxious to the Court and the Ministry. 1t is
pity that he could not have been extiDgdished
under consulship, instead of rewarding him
Tor past and present folles by promoting him
to higher diplomatic post than the one first
offered him or, better still, favored with
a polite invitation to resume his relations with
the exclusive circles OF Richmond society.
We observe with feelings of deep concern
that The Ereaiag Post is pursuing Mr.. Kelley
with malevolent rancor and reproducing such
lurid passages as this from volume of medita-

DRAFTING mr.. GLADSTONE.

So serious statesman as Mr.. Gladstone appears
at disadvantage in meeting the broadsie OF cues
tons to which Prime Minister is exposed in every
crisis of foreign affairs. Lori Pamerston was
master OF the art of chatting his political oppo-
nents; Lord Beaconsfeld assumed an air of pro-
found mystery and cIouded the situation with gilt
tcring generalities but Mr.. Gladstone has pom
derous way of dealing with one of the growing
abuses OF Parliamentary privilege He takes up his
parable with impresslveness OF manner, para
phrases his own expressions. gradually whites tho
meaning out of his well-turned sentences. and
drops the subject without anybody being the wiser
for his explanations. Not long ago when asked to
explain the precise nature of the understanding
reached in regard to the outposts he rejected tie
expression agreement as conveying a somewhat
faacious idea Of what had taken place. and subst-
uted for it the word arrangement" greatly to the
amusement of the House. In his great speech on
the wal credit another verbal distinction is made
tho understanding between the two Governments
being represented as nothing less than 4" solemn
covenant Tho Prime Minister'S sincerity in mod
flying these expressions is not to be called in ques-
ton. AT the outset he could not arraign Russia
for breach OF moral Obligation, and beng closely
pressed to answer inconvenient questions, he had
recourse to what his friends must admit to he super
duous refinement Of expression. or what his critics
will be justified in pronouncing downright quib-
bling.

T1F hEABu At OUIPPRLLR

The alarm at Fort Qu'Appelle appears to be
justified by the practically defencelcss character
of the place. Though it is called fort, there
are really no defensive works there. An old log
hut is the original fOrt,n and there does not
appear to be even a stOckade. Qu'Appelle,
moreover. lies 50 low that even il 1t possessed
Notifications they would probably be unienable,
being commanded by neighboring elevations on
all sides. The Government has large quantity
of supplies stored at the place. but they are in
building on hill some distance from the settle
ment, and could not be- defended against a
serious attack. The place is Il centre OF Indian
reservations, which surround IL to the Dnmber
of twenty The Indians and half-breeds con-
stitute the majority of the population. and their
cupiiity is excited by the knowledge that the
stores are so exposed.
There were recently eight companies of
volunteers at Qu'Appelle, but even if none of
them have been withdrawn for active service
elsewhere they would be unable to make Il
stand against a general Indian attack, not so
mach because Of their numerical weakness rs
because their assailants could fire down upon
them, and they would have little or no shelter.
OF course any disaiiection among these reserva-
ton Indians would make necessary the recall
of General Middleton. and would paralyzo the
movements against Ricl by breaking the lines
of communication and supply. But since the
position of the place renders it incapable OF
prolonged defence, the removal OF the Govern
ment stores to more teDable situation appears
the most rational course. QuAppelle, judging
from the descriptions, is better adapted to the
purposes of n trap than n centre Of Resistance
and a support to the troops in the field. II Rel
can bring about a rising of the Indians who sur
round it, he will have freed himself from Gen
eral Middleton without the necessity of fighting

The Senate has passed bill fixing the pay
of the officers Of the New-York City Court IN
creaslng the expenses thereby $4,000 year;
1t ia not stated whether this measure has passed
the Assembly or not but if it has not been ap-
proved by that body, it probably will be, soon'
along with lot of others of the same char
acter. If the Governor could be depended
upon to veto bad bill when he sees 1t, we
might reasonably expect that this particularly
bad one would never become law. The regu-
lation of the salaries of court officers III our
CITY courts should be left to the Board OF
Estimate and Apportionment. This has been
remarked before; but no amount OF ltera1on
seems to convince the Legislators at Albany
that they tinker too much with the private
affairs of this city.

nation Of April 17.annullng his predecessors order

right of the Indians TO these lands is rather COM
pcaied one aud is probable that Congress or the

with the acquIescenee of all concerned. President

A plausible argument in favor of putting the
Park Department on different basis is fur
nished by the petty squabbles which occur
from time to time among the Park Commits
soners over the election to the presidency OF
tho Board. The president is paid, the others
are not; and so for some time the four commits
sioners agreed to let each one hold the Office
three months in the year. But now Mr.. Grim
minis says that he won't play" at this game
any longer. When children get into tangle

times considered wise Dot to let any one OF
them have it. Perhaps the Legislature may
