MIR. BAYARD's POLICY.

The views of Secretary Bayard as cX.
pressed to the Baltimore suns Wash
ington correspondent fully corroborate
those heretofore expressed by TuE
CRITIC with regard to the attitude of
the State Department in the Mexican
matter. Mr.. Bayard has no apprehcn-
sion that the pending difficulties will
lead to war. On the contrary he is
assured from the most trustworthy
rces that the Government of Mex.
', in spite of the partisan efforts
u.e in this country to prejudice our
,e Is desirous to reach peaceful
ustmcnt of the questions at issue.
the same time he maintains the cor
l..lness Of his position and is conf
deLt that when fully understood it
will command the popular approval
To quote from the SIM;
lIr, Bayard said tonight, with much i'm
pressiveness, that he considered the prin-
ciple involved In the Cutting affair to be
one of the gravest importance, and one as
to which the whole country, without refer
ence to party, should be Il unit. The per
had nothing to do with the matter. Mexico
claims the right TO try an American citizen
for an oifeuse committed IN the United
States, and Cutting has actually been con
victed and sentenced for publishing a libel
in Texas. Secretary Bayard thinks this
raises the gravest possible question be-
tween the two countries and If Mexlco's
claim were once conceded, no American
travelling in Mexico would be safe, Should
Mexico persist in her present attitude, the
question would then arise as to what action
should be taken by this country to enforce
acquiescence in its demands. The rupture
of diplomatic negotiations would naturally
follow, but In this connection 1t may be
stated that the rumored resignation of
Minister jackson has no significance The
Secretary will not anticipate the action of
Mexico, but he evidently looks for full
reparation from that country.
1t is claimed, moreover, that "sys.
tcmatic attempts are being made to
confuse the public mind" by belittling
the Importance of the Cutting affair
and confounding it with the fisheries
dispute, as though our Government
was exhibiting an arrogant and over.
bearing spirit in the one instance and 6
hesitating, trucking disposition in thS
other. In the latter, as In the former
we are told, it will be found that the
Secretary has acted with promptnes
and vigor. Although the points il
controversy are too complicated to bC
dis sed of by stroke of the pen, NJ
dollt is entertained that under fai
construction and observance of tn
treaties of 1918 and 1854, and in spit
Of any embarrassing action taken b,
Congress, the whole trouble will at II,
remote date be amicably aad honorabl.
setlled.

MATTHEW ARNoLp's MISTAKE.

Mr.. Matthew Arnold has recently
had printed in the London Times let.
ter in which he says that if the opin-
ions of the American people are
weighed, instead Of counted, "
they will be found antagonistic to Mr.,
Gladstone's Home Rule policy. We
do not remember that Mr. Arnold was
over in this country long enough either
TO weigh or count its opinions on any
subject, but If he was he has certainly
made a miscalcuation on this point.
1t is very true that there is a good
deal of political clap.trap in that elfu-
siye sympathy for the Irish cause to
the expression of which so many deml.
gogues of both parties are addicted,
but underneath all this and independ.
ent of 1t, as Mr.. Arnold might discover
upon closer acquaintance, there Is Il
general aspiration on the part Of the
people Of the United States for the
emancipation Of Ireland from the yoke
of imperialism, and an abiding con-
fldence In the sincerity and sagacity Of
Mr.. Gladstone as the leader of this
movement.
1t is natural that we should feel So,
not simply because of a large Irish
American population with whom the
various political parties want to keep
on good terms, but for the reason that
any people which has once achieved its
independence and the blessings of civil
liberty is drawn sympathetlcally to-

OUR GOLD CIRCULATION.

A much disputed question among
financial students has been the actua
amount Of gold coin in circulation @.
boarded in the United States AS th
enters as a factor Of consideration !
many financial problems, and rs OPP D.
ions have differed by more than ll
hundred millions of dollars it lends IN
terest to Director Kimballs $ report.
The new director of the mint In his
first report of the gold circulation
made a somewhat arbitrary reduction
of $50, 600, 600 from the estimate of his
predecessor, and now, on the unques-
tionable ground of official statistics and
palpable mistakes of the old estimates,
he has made further reduction Of
$50, 100000. The new Administration is
reducing the coin circulation almost a.
rapidly as it proved that there was nc
surplus.
The bankers have always claimed that
actual experience and financial transac
tions demonstrated that the people were
given the credit of having great dea
more gold than they really had, while
the mint bureau asserted that figures
which cannot tell lie, showed the es
innate to be correct.
Director Kimball has concluded tina
the figures did lie fifty millions worth
but believes them to be truthful now
while there are many people who viii
still endeavor to demonstrate that thu
exports of coin and its consumption II
the arts have been greatly underesti
mated and that the people are still ac
credited with more golden treasur
than they actually hold.

In DEAR delightful grip
With one hand, and with the other
Bat him several In the lip.
Let me climb his frame, dear mother,
While the happy people shout;
I'll not kill him, dearest mother,
will only knock him out.
Let me mop the ground up, mother,
With his person, dearest, do;
II the ground can stand it, mother,
don't see why you can't, too.
Mother, may ! slug the umpire,
Slug him right between the eyes?
If you'll let me do it, mother,
You shall have the champion prize.

wards another people struggling for
the achievement of q similar deliver
ance. The sentiment Is almost uni
versal, whether computed by weight or
Enumeration; though 1t Is quite possible
that Mr. Arnold. in the course Of his
travels here, met with certain blue
bloodcd Tories now and then who as
surCd him that the Irish are incapable
of selfgovernment, and that Mr.. Glad
stone is mistaken and incompetent
leader. But opinions like these are not
nearly as heavy as Mr.. Arnold seems to
think
Put in the scales as against the feel
ing of vast majority of all classes,
high and low, rich and poor, that
William L. Gladstone is the most illus
trious champion of human rights our
modern times have produced, and that
he proposes no political responsibilities
for Ireland which Irishmen are not
capable of assuming, the alleged want
of American sympathy with his policy
is a mere feather.
1ti gratifying to know, however,
that before reaching the end Of his let.
ter Mr.. Arnold comes to the conclusion
that Americans, one and all, sincerely
believe that the Irish ought to have
control Of their own local affairs.
How does it happen that he discovered
this great truth and got so completely
lost concerning another intimately as
