THE British Minister at Washington
has insulted the United States, made
himself ridiculous and placed his
home government in an unpleasant
position by writing letter to a friend
in California on the political situation
and advising him to vote for Cleve-
land. This affrout, coming in the heat
of a presidential campaign from for
eign minister is particularly aggrava-
ting to the American people, and Pres
ident Cleveland promptly notified the
offender that he was no longer wanted
in Washington as a representative of
the English government. For this
course Secretary Bayard has been
rOundly censured by the press of both
countries. The Herald of Wednesday
says;
What strikes US disagreeably, and will so
strike all Americans jealous of their coun-
try's honorable fame, is that Mr.. Bayard, in
the conduct of this Sackville matter, has ut
terly failed to advise the President rightly.
dhas conducted himself in manner which
must make every American ashamed. Mr..
Bayard has allowed himself to scold to the
reporters at Lord Saekville, day after day,
with lack of dignity ana decency Of which
we hope no other American public man than
Mr.. BlaiHe is capable. Mr. Bayard scadan-
lously forgot all the responsibilities and de-
eencies Of his position and descended to the
level of a mere stump orator We do not
remember any public man who, in such
position. has so utterly forgotten himselfand
the proprieties attaching to his important
place.
IfMr. Cleveland had quietly asked the
British government to send him another
Minister in place of Lord Sackville no one
would have objected-least of all Lord Sails
bury, who could not afford to put himself
and his government in false and absurd
position by hesitating to comply with such
request But under Mr.. Bayard's advice,
4ir. Bayard's mismanagement and Mr.. /
Bayard's scolding alie British Minister to the
reporters the President has been made redic-
ulous, and Lord Salisbury has, by mere ST
ience, gained the advantage for his govern
ment
We respectfully urge Mr.. Cleveland to get
himselfa new Secretary of State without de-
lay. Mr., Bayard has, it seems, crowned his
absurdities by sending Lord Sackville his
passports, as though the British Minister
vas likely to be detained in the harbor un-
ess he could show them. Give Mr.. Bajard :.
iis passports to Delaware, Mr.. CLEVELAND.
This aTraignment of Mr.. Bayard is !.
Unjust and smacks Of persecution. Mr.. 7
sayard has expressed himself in favor Il

The Worlds Potato Crop.

The following is from The NeaO England
Homestead, published at Springfield, Mass,
and claims to have full returns of the potato
crop Of the world, and says: The yield in
New England is fair average; in New York,
below average; in the West, not a full crop;
i'll the provinces, NoYa Scotia and Prince
Edward Island, large; in Europe, very short
The Homestead says farmers are inclined to
hold their potatoes for better prices, but it
advises them not to do so. The price is now
about sixty cents per bushel, and the Home
stead thinks the advance will be very grad
ual and not over seventy-6ve cents will be
reached.

The Labor Question.
FARMERS FjleHd.]


To gain foreign markets means that
our prices and wages must come down
to foreign prices and wages. 1t would
mean ultimately that in the cOmpeti-
tiou that would follow this effort prices
and wages abroad must be reduced,
and Of course ours follow or We give up
the contest.
Whenever labor is hungry it becomes
rebeltous and refuses to be satisfied
with promises or explanations. 1t is
dangerous to the peace and security of
society when oppressed labor rises in
open rebellion, as it stops within no
bounds and acknowledges no restraint
of either law or reason. 1t is a most
proper duty to prevent by all possible
means contests and collisions between
capital and labor, and to remove all
hatred and jealousy between these TWO
great forces. This question itselfis no
new one, but is virtually as old as
civilization itself. 1t has in various
shapes been fought over in thousands
of conflicts and bloody wars in ancient
times throughout European countries.
1t is in fact the struggle between those
who have not; between the rich and
tile poor. Duty then to society de-
mands we protect as far as possible
those whose lot it is to live upon the
wages of their daily toll.

WHEN the South Milford Board OF
Education remodeled its public school
building three years ago, it was thought
the structure was amply large for ten
years to come, but in less than one
year its capacity was taxed, and an
other addition had to be made. Now
the same complaints are made of the
overcrowded condition of the depart
ments. So urgent has the trouble be-
come that a room outside of the build
ing has been rented and an assistant
teacher employed. To the parents
whose memory of public schools is
their only guide, the contrast between
the schools of Milford of to-day aud
those of ten or fifteen years ago, is cal
culated to amaze them. Under a
graded school system the children OF
to-day in Milford are receiving an ed
ucation that their parents could only
obtain at colleges or expensive board
ing schools. As the light of education
is more and more spread over the COM
munity, the more pleased are the peO-
pie with their school privileges. It
requires more money to conduct them,
but then the cost is less to educate even
one child in family than it would be
to send to private schools or colleges.

NEXT Tuesday the twelve million
voters Of this great Union will decide
what, in the majority's opinion, is the
best for this country, viz: a protective
tariff that will practically exclude for
eign manufactured goods that home
industries may live; or a tariff for
revenue only, which would eventually
lead to free trade. What the outcome
of this important election will be no
person can tell, as the campaign has
been conducted on the principle of
educating the masses as to the results
of tariff for the welfare of all. That
free admission of manufactured goods
means lower wages for mechanics, no
sensible man pretends to honestly dis
pute, and that free raw materials an
tagonizes the producers OF those ar
ticles in this country, there is an equal
certainty. The result largely depends
upon how deep an impression has
been made on this subject.
Here in Delaware it is reasonably
certain that the majority will be for
free trade as represented by the adj
ministratiOn of President Cleveland;
but on State issues the dominant party
is widely split-mainly on personal
interests. That the Republicans have
a fighting chance for the Legislature
and the Levy Court. the Salisbury
wing Of that party openly proclaim
because they expect to rebuke the men
who applied the unit rule to them in
their convention, by voting that part
of the Republican ticket. If this is
done it means Republican victory.
With a Republican house of repre-
sentatives and u Democratic holding
over Senate, the revolving Democrats
claim to be able to check any mis-
chievous laws going upon record by
the Republican enactment, and at the
same time administers stunning blow
to their own party opponents. In any
case Senator Saulsbury's chance for
the United States Senate is blasted, |
and revenge will cost the Salisbury
ties nothing. This is about the cOndi-
tiOn of the great campaign that will
close on Tuesday next.
