LONDON, August Oft Is becoming
daily more evident that thereis now no
cnsnce Of suppressing the great Dixie
scandal, and that the whole diseraceiul:
story Is 10 be spread ont iniiull for the de.
lectation ofthe British public. Whehsif
Charles Dixie, through Lord Granville,
passed his check for sl25 900 To- MI, Dom
aid Crawford, the aggrieyed husband, it
WAS supposed that the scandal was hush
ed, and so oitwonidI have been ithad not
been for politics. The action OF Mr.. Craw.
ford In returning the check after many
days Of deliberation Is now known 70 have
been ilargely prompte by the tannts and
arguments Of Tory enemies Of Sir Charles,
and 1t Is even whispered that they have
guaranteed that Crawl ford shsll not lese h
pecnniarilyi by his reiectioniof the enor-
nous bribe.
The scandal lie. OF coirse, o wonderfully
effective weapon 10 use against . Radical
leader. Coming ata time when the.p
| lie mind was hot with anger over expos
ures OF patrician viceof which the,rhil=
Idren Of the poor are victims, aud VIXEN
| the radicals were using the very argument
to advocate their leyeling schemes against
the aristocracy, it was q a3Gtpdsend 10 the
Tories to tind tliis hig priest OF Radicals
ism convicted Of d fragrant liaison in
which hfall the parties concerned were ot
his own political faith. N6one doubts
that Il the boot had been on The other log,
and some equally prominent Tory had
been caught In Q similar intrigue, tte
Radicals would have made all the polite
cal ca apital possibIe out Of the occurrence.
Having caught d Radical, the Tories now
propose toserye him as his party would
have served them. and now that the scam
dal has passed out Of the realm Of gossip
into the divorce coutt, and is thus public8
property, they are bent on giving 1t the
widest, possible publicity. X .
+ All; the Tory papers nave flaming arti-
cles about the Ecandal, publishing the
names in full and giving every scrap oftin-
formation which they can give without
infringing the law OF libel. The Radical
papers, on the other hand, print only the
briefest and most formal notices of Ithe
filing of. the divorce petition, and put them
in the smallest type and most Obscure
corners Of the papers. The Hsetlg 1es.
patch, which is owned. by q brother Of Sir
Charles Dixie, wholly ignores he:subiect
and does not even mention inits law re-
ports that a petition for divorce has been
Tiled. Sir Charles hes written Q letterto
the electors of Chelsea, In which he Eas.
!sumes an air Of injured innocence; and
protests that he Is wholly guiltless Of the
grievous Elm charged against him.
