LONDON, Nov. S,--4The Globe saws: .'Presi-
dent Cleveland has not gained anything by
iuesing with the tlsheries question or by his
brusque treatment OF Lord Saekyille. 1t IS
satisfactory to lind that even in America q

Ineir defeat Is heavy blow to the Demo-
Gratis. u may help to compensate Mr..
biaine for his previous fallnre, as he will
pToeably become Secretary Of State. Mr.
Blaine may not be able to rsvive the re-.
markhble foreign policy which helped to
create distru.t and promote his defeat, but
me alliance or understanding with the Irish
element may not tend to soften hie conduct
In international gfiairs.''
The Times Gays: Though we believe
that President Cleveland's Internal policy
and his administration are more remarka-
nle tor capacity and uprightness than any
lhlng TO which Republicans ean point In
recent Years, we cannot profess regret at an
event which mAy be regarded as an appro.
PIRATE penalty for his discreditable su65sr-
vienee to tho meapest Influences of Arneri-
ean politics, and his cuipable neglect OF tbs
dadencieS Of iuternHtsone intercourse. II
Is not improbable that President Cleve-
land hasty change OF front In the fisheries

may noe emulate and oven surpass Presi-

The Standard says: "Naver was there o
