that continuous and pecuniariy well supported
efforts are made by British association TO lhru-
ence opinion in this country, and particularly 10
build up here an opinion favorable to Brlish truo
rather than TO American manufactures, Is ono
which ought to receive much attention, anu ~
ought to set Americans to consider ser'ouo't

as The President" Our correspondent eau find
precedents for various prefixes to the Presidents
name, both in official and unofficial communica-
tons but he can be quite that they are simply
courtesy titles. 1t would be correct for HIN to adj
dress the President as "The President" or 1.-The
President of tho United States of America u:
but if he wishes to use the Presidents
name, the best form would be "The
Hon. Grover Cleveland, President of the United
States of America" THE Hon." is, Of course.

this case to the address of Mr." or the afiix OF
Esq" In conversation the President should be
addressed as Mr. President."-Edl
