>, a.. nolish press on Lord Sackvile's dismissal
TIN, same distinction which was drawn IN ths
celebrated reply to Murchison's inquiries Is made
here The President would be safe enough, -
far as English interests are concerned, II 70
,iested and allowed to pursue his own pohcy'
tu, tho necessities Of the political situation com
mel him to adopt an equivocal attitude. lhn
WIS Lord SaclyviIa's view Of the matter ana
=. -be Standard, Government organ, imme-
di,tely reasserts it. The Retaliation Message
and the British Minister'S dismissal are regarded
in London as elcctioncering devices, and the
President remains the English candidate
That the SUPREME Court Of the United State>
sho,ld be called on to decide whether >tau
has the right to forbid the employment on rail-
roais of persons affected with color-blindnes
and defective vision is not little singular. Th'
mater came before the court on appeal from
decision in Alabama. That the law was upheH

The sackvllle incident having been closed BY the
N,niser's dismissal. we shall not present TO-DAY
Mr. Msts illustration Of It, which We promIsed-ti"
Evening Post OF yesterday
wriren that many cartoons born to blush un
seeL 1t must now forever remain matter o.
conjecture how Mast treated the Saclxvillc in.
cidhnt Perhaps he represented Mr.. CLEVELAND
as sitting on the White House fence waiting
fr the public indignation inspired by the SacH
Vile letter to blow over. Or maybe he pictured
| linn as savagely gnawing q file OF the Tribunct
Extra entitled Cleveland's Buichard' Or, per
fully throwing tub to whale. The Post
is entitled to a generous need Of pity Right
at the outset of it's career pictorial exponent
of Democracy, il is compelled by circumstances
not under its control to present an apology In
stead of an illustration
That was very shabby trick the Prohibitions
politicians playcd on the Rev. DR.. Carroll TO lnvit
a speaker to a joint debate, and then precipitau
three speakers upon him instead OF one ana u
turn the meeting in other ways into Prohlbitor
! meeting, was n good enough trick for the Demo
| cratic politicians, whom the Prohibition leader
are playing second fiddle TO. But we have ne
idea that Dr. Carroll suffered by comparison with
any three speakers the Prohbitionsts could brni
| against him.
The curious dispatch printed by The Herald
from members of the National Democratic Com
| mittee shows how mad the Democrats were Al
Lord Sackville, and how they had to drive rhei
dull President into an effort to save his party
under prctence of guarding the honor 81
his country In fact they seem to have been
as mad at Lord Sackville as the Republicans
were four years ago at Burchard. But there
the resemblance ends The Republicans were
| mad because another mans sentiments were fraud
ulently attributed to their candidate. The Demo
Gratis are mad because an ally awlSwardly ex
poses the hypocrisy with which they have been
irving to conceal their actual sentiments. foui
wears ago they declared Blaine had uttered Bur
chards remark Nobody has now been saying
that Cleveland wrote Sackvilles letter. Oh
the other hand, nobody doubts that Sackvli'
wrote il: and that he knew what he was taking
about. The Democrats had reason to be mac
because their President got found out; but In
remedy they extorted from him comes too late.
Suppose the Republicans had banished Burchan
four years ago? Does anybody think tbs,
would have changed the lost votes back agar
And yet, the Burchard remark was fraudulepy
used, and was repudIated at once; while SICK
vile told the truth, and it took ten days and the
most diligent prodding from the Democratic Ma
tonal Committee TO force Cleveland to esent
it, Does the President know that the lrisn
vote is slipping away from us?" Sothins
touched him till that appeal
