TIE PARTY AND ITS MASTER.

A President Of the United States who de-
liberately accuses manufacturers and corporate
managers generally of Communism, which is
defined by dictionaries as a state OF things
in which no separate right Of property exists
who charges in State paper that manufact-
urers as a class are guilty Of "sel6sh greed
and grasping avarice," who gravey afirmS that
money left in the hands Of the people would
have been worth in their business at least q
PEE cent PEI annum," and who tells the poor
and ignorant that laws which he is sworn to
administer make the boast of free institu-
lions glittering delusion and the pretended
boon of American citizenship shameless i'm
position" is obviously not in state OF mind
TO deserve much of the respect which self
governing Nation prefers to show to its Chief
Magistrate. So "The Sun" mildly hints that
in his Message there is almost touch OF that
indefnable quality which distinguishes the ut
terances of cranks from those of philosophers"
Even "The Times'' admits the Presidents
"errors Of statement or illustration" observes
that the communism of capital" is not an
accurate or happy expression" and that the
manufacturers who are supposed to obtain i'm
proper favors are but few, and do not include
all or even the greater number of our man.
ufacturers," and finds his remarks obscured
by overstatement."
Of such Message and such President
patriotic feeling would prefer to say as little as
possible, but for the attitude of the great party
which he represents. He is beaten, angry and
sore; in three months the country will have
done with him. But the party which so fully
expected success November that it has not
yet recovered from its amazement at defeat,
the party whose passions and whose ignorance
Mr. Cleveland expresses. and which now glori-
fies his wild words-that party still remains to
do mischief, to preach the gospel Of Anarchy,
to inflame the ignorant against the enterprising,
to make itself the tool of corporations and
trusts which it denounces, and to rob millions
Of citizens of their rights while pretending
zeal for the rights Of citizens.
What grand thing it is that such party,
charged to overlooking with such venomous,
despicable and dangerous spirit failed to get
control of the Government for the next four
years. 1t may be doubted whether many in
telligent and order-loving people quite realize
even yet what the country has escaped. But
they may get some glimpse of the truth if they
SODerly conSiuer tne fTesluehos T"eSSdSo anu
the fierce expressions of Democratic approval.
Democratic lovers of law and of true freedom,
Democratic organizers Of industry and en-
ployers of labor, may learn what the party is
which they uphold by reading with care and
reflection the passionate outbreak of its official
head and master. As the President leaped into
the saddle by his Message year ago, distanced
all possible competitors for nomination by his
appeal to Democratic ignorance and passion
and thenceforward had the party under bit and
spur, so he now teaches the world what the
party actually means and is by his last annual
Message.

and should be dealt with as piratical crafo.
Secretary Bayard, replying 10 this letter on
| April "a, declined to acquiesce in these de-
crees, and by implication recognized the rights
of tho insurgents as a de facto Government
having the counter privileges Of belligerents.
This reply not only revealed the Secretary 8
ignorance of international law but also his Sc
cret sympathies with those in rebellion against
an established Government. He virtually
recognized the belligerent rights Of the rebels,
and insulted n friendly Republic which was
striving to suppress baseleSs and disreputablc
instruction.
If the rebellion had not been promptly sup
pressed this unfortunate blunder would have
led to important consequences in relation to
any claims on the Colombian Government for
damages to American property. As it was,
Secretary Bayard sought an early opportunity
for discaimng any intention of recognizing
the belgerent rights of the rebels. This did
not prevent a review of the correspondence by
the United States courts in the case OF the Am
brose Light, an insurgent brigantine captured
by the United States Navy on April "a in the
Caribbean Sea and sent to New-York as
prize When the forfeiture of the ship was
CIalUeQ as Il plrdtlCdl CTdlU SdlllHB NIOHouo du-
thority from any recognized Power the owners
contended that she was entitled to release by
virtue of Secretary Bayard's letter of the same
date. Judge Addison Brown decided against
the Government on the ground that while the
seizure Of the vessel was warranted by the law
of nations Secretary Bayard's implied recog-
milton of an existing state of war and of
beigerent rights operated to prevent con-
demnation of the vessel. This crushing re-
buke from the United States Court ought to
have put him on his guard against incautious
manifestations of sympathy with Instruction
AIRY forces.
We trust that the Presidents reference in
his Message to the warning factions in Hayti
does not conceal similar indiscretions in the
Secretarys diplomatic correspondence with the
recognized Government of Hayti. The Gov
eminent at Washington has nothing to do with
political factions in the island. It's dealings
should be exclusively confined to the author
tiles in possession Of the capital and to the
Haytian Minister.
