Although there are many ties Of sym.
pathy between England aud America,
aud very few between Russia aud this
country, there is one great fact that will
inevitably exert vast influence on
American public sentiment in case Of war
between tho lion aud the boar. Russia
was tho friend aud England the enemy
of the Union during our great civil con.
flict.

pesrance in New York bay; tty
The American people will never forget.
through all the changes OF future years that
in their mortal struggle the Car has been true
to them, and in the exercise Of his great office
has been inHexlble in his adherence to the
grand and salutAry principles Of public law.
And they will Just az surely never cease to be-
lievc that the government OF England has de.
sired the disruption Of this republic and has
given TO the rebel forces every species Of indi-
rect assistance which II was possible to give,
short Of engaging in hostilities. These things
will never be forgotten so long as Americans
can read and remember.
The REPUBLICAN entertains no malice
toward England, aud does not desire to
excite unfriendly feelings, but 1t is not
worth whilo for Americans in their
natural leaning toward their own race to
foget the facts of recent history. Lot us
try to be just to the nation that stood by
us in our time of trouble while exercising z
abundant charity toward the kinsmen
whose friendship failod us in the hour OF

Reform, In tho White House.

The admirers of President Cleveland
dents illustrative of his success as a re-
former. IL appears from q narrative re-
Gently started on its press rounds that
when the new President began the per-
formsnce Of his executive duties one of
the features OF the old regime which most
annoyed him was tho arrangement for
calling attendants when thoy were dc.
sired. Dating almost from the founda-
tion of the government the President,
upon wishing to summon q messenger or
servant, would step out into the hallway
aud clap his hands, after the manner of
Oriental potentstes"
Having clearly and forcibly presented
the great evil which vexed the executive
mind and likewise wasted valuable time,
the narrator goes on to remark that Presi-
dent Cleveland could not understand why
the American people would calmly submit
to tho retention Of custom borrowed
from the most despotic OF all the systems
of government. 1t belonged, said the
President, to tho dark ages, and should
be relogated there as speedily As possible.
Therefore the President has had electric
bells placed all through the house, and
now when he wishes to call Col. Lamont
or anyoSe else inside the executive man.
sion he simply touches button that
rings n bell in tho room where the party
desired is located. In doing this, remarks
our latest Boswell, the President does not
even have TO rise, and he finds that it
saves time,
by tho same indefAtigable toady the
country is further advised that when he
first thought OF putting in the electric
bells Mr.. Cleveland took tho expense un.
d er consideration and found that with
the bells no could save enough time to
more than make up TO the government
for the outlay. In this way, concludes
the ecstatic chronicler, the sdministra-
broken,
All this is we'll. In fact IL is very good
indeed. Electric bells arc not merely
| convenient, but, in case like this, they
are great saving Of both time aud tenn
per.
But, while the President has been
moving forward in the grand march of
improvement, two Of his constitutional
advisers have been setting their faces

In the consular service Of the United
States tho President has fne field In
which to apply tho true spirit of civil
service reform. A discriminating in
vestigation into the capacities and services
of the present inoumbents will suffice to
show him that quite number have held
their posts for years through efficiency
and valuable services alone. There iS 10
question as to tho influence tho best class
of consuls have been able to exert in ex-
tending American commerce through in
telligent study Of the resources and needs
of the countries in which they are sta
toned, and no one who reads tho consular
reports published from time to time can
fail to be struck by the sagacious zeal
manifested in many of the reports in the
direction Of patriotic and incessant
study Of the means through which Ameri.
can merchants may reach aud obtain con.
troll in foreign markets.
There will undoubtedly be great
pressure excrted to secure clean sweep
in the oonsulates; q measure that will, it
is intimated, be urged by Mr.. Bayard.
But In cases whore consuls by years of
residence and experience have completely
mastered the languages spoken at their
stations, familiarized themselves with
local customs, methods Of thought, preju-
dices; made themselves popular, in6u-
eutial, and respected, aud through all
shown an aptitude for affairs, and a zeal.
GUS devotion to advancing the trade in.
terests OF their country, we submit that
they are entitled to the approval OF the
President, and to retention in office by
his orders.
Some Of the greater consular positions
rank in importance almost with foreign
ministries, and may be fairly claased
among those offices conventionally held
to be representative Of tho political com.
plexion of an administration. That
changes will be made in such positions is
| to be expected. But the same reasons do
not apply to the middle and minor classes
Of consulates and consular agencies If
he investigates carefully the President
will discover in them many men of rare
capacity and merit, whose places be
would find 1t remarkably hard to fill
with sppointees equally competent to
serve the commercial interests OF this
country. At the same time he will no
doubt be pleased to come across unsxcep-
tional opportunities for exhibiting his
sincere belief in the policy Of sustaining
good and competent public servants

A discussion Of the Baconian theory occu.
pied the Classical society Monday night at Miss
Ransom's studio, Notwithstanding the au.
dlence was one thoroughly capable of appre.
ciating the subject of the evening, several
heads were seen nodding while some of the
reviews of the evidence pro and con were
being rccited. Tho only participant in the
discussion taking the side of the Bnconian
theory was Mr., George Bacon, a descendant OF
the illustrious Francis Bacon. lie was vigor-
ously applaudod by Mr.. Donnolly who re.
celved the unfayorablc comments on his
theory with unmoved features. Speaking In
the negative were Dr. Charles Warren, ex.Gov.
Boutwell,, and Hon, Samuel She ellabarger. Gov.
Boutwell, In his opening remarks referred TO the
discoyerer of the Shakespeare cipher as an old
friend whom he had known in Congress as m
enthusiast. This called forth reply from Mr.,
Donnelly, who thanked him for his delicate
inferenccs," but discarded that Characteristic,
and referred humorously to Mr.. Boutwells
relation to the attempted Impeachment OF
President Johnson as an evidence of enthu-
siasm which called forth much merriment In
the audience. The evenings programme was
concluded by Mr.. Donnelly who defended
his theory. The balance Of opinion among the
audience seemed loyal to the Shakespearian
authorship of the plays. The principal points
made in the negative were by Mr.. Boutwell,,
who showed that by Shakespearc's wealth
and Bacon's poverty that the latter had evl.
IDENTIFY not received the profits OF the plays.
