A SENSELESS CRY.

The most faithful supporter of the
Chicago platform must be getting fa-
tigued with the iteration of British
free trade" nobody who utters that
cry has undertaken to show what he
means by it, or that it means anything
at all. Most likely the feeling at the
bottom it is that, free trade being a
British invention for the benefit and be-
half of British manufacturers, and any
relaxation of the tariff in any country be-
ing necessarily in the direction of freer
trade, it must inure to the benefit of
Great Britain and to the injury of the
country that suffers the relaxation to be
made. OF course there is class of citi-
zens with whom BRITISH is itself
an adjective of opprobrium, and
who condemn anything to which it
may be applied; and it is for
their influence upon these peo-
pie that Republican organs print
cuts of the British flag over CLEvE-
LANDS picture, and tear passion TO tat
tiers in denOuncing a system of political
economy which renders the main body
of the people, and not few favored in
dividuals, the beneficianes of the law.
If Great Britain has grown rich and
prosperous by free trade-and there is
no denying that it is the greatest COM

OuR FOREIGN POLICY.

The st. Louis GlObe-DemOcrat claims
that 1.-THE foreign policy of Mr.. CLEyE-
LANDS administration has been dis
graceful" The statement is not juSti-
fed by the facts. Mr.. BAYARD's man.
agement of our foreign affairs has been
prudent. dignified and successful. In
the case of naturalized American citi-
zens imprisoned in England the state
department has cOntrasted brilliantly
with previous administrations under
Republican control. 1t acted promptly
and with entire success in 1885 in sup
pressing the InSurrectiOn on the 18th
mus of Panama, which threatened
the lives and property of American citi-
Zens in transit. War vessels were sent
there. a force landed and order re-
stored.
Ecuador was taught to respect the
rights of American citizens in the SAN
Tos case. Mexico was also influenced to
make a radical cha nge in the law Telat-
ing to aliens. Thanks to the just and
firm policy of Mr.. BAYARD, perfect con-
fidence has been restored between the
various independent governments of
America and the United States-a con-
dition which did not exist. owing to Mr..
BLAINE'S peculiar methods while pre-
mier of GARFIELD'S cabinet. The pres
ident has recently approved an act
which directs him to invite these gov
ernmentS to send representatives to par
ticipate in an American congress to be
held in Washington in 1889 to consider
questions of common concern.
Secretary BAYARD's dignified rebuke
of the Austrian government, for its re-
fusal to receive Mr.. KELLEY as Ameri-
can minister because he had married a
Jewess, needs only to be mentioned to
show the broad and Independent spirit
of his foreign policy. American mis-
sionaries have been protected in China,
and American fishing rights have been
vindicated by the seizure of British and
Canadian vessels violating them.
The president has demonstrated in his
famous retaliation message that the con-
duet of foreign affairs by his admins
tration is able and efficient, and con-
spicuous for boldneSS and national self
respect.
Whatever of failure there has been in
the conduct of foreign affairs by this
administration has been entirely owing
to the mischievously obstructive policy
of the Republican senate.

REPUBLICAN DUPLICITY.

The Republican party is reSOrting to
attempts at salvation that would bring
the blush of shame to the cheek of a
Hottentot. Finding that its cry of ''free
trade" was being laughed out of court,
it has turned its efforts to the saloon
keepers and the prOhibitioniSts at the
same moment. Two circulars have been
issued, one for the dealers in beverages
and the other for their arch enemies,
and these are being circulated from the
general headquarters in New York,
from those in st. Paul and Minneapolis,
and from several hundred other cities.
To the prohibitiOnists the Republican
party is Temperance party" and to
the salOOnkeepers "a liquor party
that is, the Republican is anything for
votes. Here is quotation from one of
the documents sent to liquor dealers
and large number of German citizens:
The German voters in each state must ally
themselves with that party which is the least
infected with this temperance conlagion,
and. so far as national politics are concerned,
that party is the Republican.
Having thrown out this bid for the
SuITdgeS Ol Ine OeElHduS, Iic Gam pdiS IL
double-dealer pens this little circular
to the temperance people:
Gen. HARRISON is an active Christian and
lifelong total ahstainer, and an outspoken
opponent of the liquor power, whose nOmI-
nation was opposed on the ground that it
would insure the hostility of the entire sl-
loon fraternity. The only states in which
prohibition is maintained to-day are Repub-
lican states
Could political trickery be carried to
greater lengths? The people, however,
are warned in time to prevent the Re-
publican party from making converts
through duplicity. These circulars will
prove the BURCHARD of the campaign
of 1898.

GENEROUS TORIES.
They Will Raise a Fund to Assist
The Times in Defending the

The Times in Defending the
Parnell Case.
Special Cable to the Globe
LONDON, Oct. 10.-The Conservatives
are seriously considering the question
of raising fund to assist the Times in
its case before the Parnell commission
and in defending the action brought
against it by Mr.. Parnell in the Scotch
courts. The advocates of this plan
base their course upon the ground
that 1T would be eminently unfair
toward the Times to permit that
paper to bear any further share
OF the enormous costs to fight
what is really party battle, and, this
idea being impressed upon the minds
OF the moneyed Tories, it is expected
that the contributions offered will
greatly exceed the sum required. 1t is
suggested that at least EGO, 900 should be
raised, and the action brought against
the Times by Commoner Campbell, of
South Fermanagh, will very much
stimulate subscriptions. The Tories
regard Mr.. Campbell's action as proof
that the Parnellltes are weakening, and
expect that when that gentleman is
called before the commission he will
refuse to testify, on the ground that
what he might say would prejudice his
individual case. There are increasing
signs of an early meeting of the cabinet
to consider pressing foreign business
and arrange the preliminaries of the
governments programme for the next
session of parliament.

connection the committee states its con-

Damp for the Fair.

Special 10 the GLOBE.
WAsECA, Oct. 1O.-The falling rain
had its effect on the county fair which
is now being held on the fair grounds
in this city. The attendance, though
large. was not what it would have been
were it not for the rain. There has
been large additions to the stock on ex-
hibtion on the grounds, and large guam
titles of farm produce are to be seen.
Secretary Castor has been careful to
exclude from the grounds all takers
and no games of any kind are permit
ted thereon. The racing to-day was in
terestng, tomorrow being the last there
will be very large attendance if the
weather permits. Notwithstanding the
bad weather the fair will be success.
