The newly published charge that Minister
Phelps has been using the cable to telegraph to
the Department OF State all the adulatory no
fices of himself made by the press and at public
gatherings in England, and that Secretary
Bayard has felt called upon to reprimand him
for wasting government funds and subecting
the department cipher to the danger of easy
translation by the diplomats of other countries,
n printed ostensibly at the instance OF friends
OF the minister's iE London. It is to the last
degree improbable, however, that Mi. Phelps
would take any one in England into his conf
dence concerning a matter OF this sort. Either
there has been an unwarrantable liberty taken
with his private papers at the legation, or else
somebody in the employ of the cable company
has been tampering with the confidence i'm.
posed in him.

the police scandal can have a legitimate inter-

Owing to the pressure OF telesraphic and other
news matter from noon mp To the moment OF
going to press, it Is absolutely necessary that
all advertisements intended for TIE STAR of

This is especially demanded ON Saturdays, when,
in order To run OF the mammoth editions ofthat

will therefore not only be a favor to the Office,
but an advantage to advertisers themselves.

The Loweil-Hawthorne controversy comes
once more into notice, althou& nearly every
one had hoped that the end was reached a
fortnight ago. II Is not savory matter at
best, and Mr.. Hawthorne has published q two
column letter in his own defense which, If it
accompiishes anything at all, merely trans
lates the charge of bad faith against him into
confession of the grossest stupidity. His
plea, epitOmized, is that he tried to negotiate
with Mr.. Lowell for series of articles on Eng
lisn society and politics; that Mr. Lowell de-
ciined the offer; that he then asked Mr. Lowell
To give him, in the shape of an informal talk,
the facts he wanted for publication: and that
Mr.. Lowell, disclaimiug bis ability to say
anything in which the public would he
interested, poured forth those criticisms of
the Queen, the heir apparent, and other
dignitaries of Great Britain which
have been so widely printed. Possibly every
thing Mr. Hawthorne says Is true; and yet Mr..
Lowell may not have understood that he was
talking for the press while giving his reasons
for not talking tor it. Indeed, the further the
matter is examined, the more apparent does il
become that the eX-minister had no idea of
ever seeing a literal report of his random re-
Elections staring at him in cold type. Not only
this, but Mr. Hawthorne must have known if
he had any wit whatever, that a man who had
occupied the position Mr.. Lowell had in
diplomacy as we'll as in general society in Eng
land, could not Willingly have permitted such
an interview to go forth to the world. Mr..
Ha wthorne's latest latter will probably be his
last; for Mr.. Lowell has declared his intention
of leaving his side of the closed where it is
and there will De nothing to call forth further
correspondence from his adversary except a
morbid desire to change his own situation from
bad to worse.

Secretary Manning's proposal to advance the
interest on certain classes of government bonds
10 great extent without rebate, is q fresh Illus
tration of his theory that "go0d business is
good politics" The cheerful prospects with
which the fall trade in all commodities opened,
have brought, to thoughtful minds, some anx-
iety as well abundant satisfaction. It is
highly important that the upward tendency OF
pu6lic feeling should not be checked and the
government is not exceeding its legitimate
functions when it lays its own hand upon the
balances TO insure their freedom from moleSta-
ton. The moving of the crops in the fall and
opening winter is the signal, every year. for
heavy draft upon ali the resources at command
OF the commercial world. To provide u means
by which, without injury to the public inter-
ests, the demand Of the business community
for more cash in hand may be promptly met,
is to make a wise use of the money lying idle in
the national treasury.
