example thus set will probably make re-

as that is likely to secure very strong
grip out here in the breezy West. In

zHE YRUE AtERLcAN NplRLr.

No American can read the correspond
ence between this government and that
of Austria about the Kelley matter with
out a reyiyng sense OF genuine respect
for Mr. Bayard, the secretary Of state
who dictated it, aud for Mr.. Cleveland,
the president who approved It. For many
years we have had no prime minister who
has so vigorously and courtcously upheld
the principles Of this government against
the European monarches. The course
Of Mr. Bayard is in luminous contrast
with the conduct Of the two ministers
who held the portfolio of state under the
preceding Republican administration,
Blaine began with characteristic buster
to bully the weaker South American pow
ers without proyocation, and his course,
if persisted in, must have involved us in
war for which there was no cause and
from which we could have won no glory.
Frelnghuysen, who succeeded him, in
haste 20 undo the mischief already done,
was betrayed into an unsGcmly attitude
Of abiectncss in apologi2ing for and cor
recting Blaine's mistakes. our diplo-
macy was dlscredlted abroad and our
government despised for its Facilitating
policies, when MIR. Bayard accepted the
position of secretary of state, and one OF
his first official acts was to- redeem the
lost honor of the country ID positive
and statesmanlike cnunciation of the
great principle of liberty upon which this
government is founded and which it will
uphold
The objection of the Austrian govern
ment to Mr.. Kelley as the United States
minister was at first laid to the fact that
his wife was of religion not in favor
with the Austrian throne. To this frlvo-
lous objection Mr.. Bayard replies with
irresistible force that ait is not believed
by the president that doctrine and prac-
ticc so destructive of religious liberty
and freedom of conscience, so devoid of
catholicity, nd'opposed to the spirit of
the age in which we live, can for mo.
ulcll W dCCtplcu Wy Juc great family OF
civilized nations, or be allowed to con-
troll their diplomatic intercourse, Certain
it is that it will never, in my belief
be accepted by the people Of the United
States, nor by any administration which
represents their sentiments" Then
word came from Vienna that Austria
would not receive Mr. Kelley because
the Italian government had objected 10
him. This double-dealing ON the part of
the Austrian minister was polntedly
shown up by Mr.. Bayard, and this gov
ernment has suffered the Austrian mis-
sion to remain vacant. If congress does
nothing to change the present state of af-
fairs, II will probably remain vacant, for
the tone of the presidents message is
evidence that he viii appoint no other
minister The only result will be saving
of $4,000 year to the people OF this
country, which they will not have to pay
to sustain minister at Vienna.
