LORDS IND LADIES.

"Tommy dearly loves a lord" was the sar-
castle imputation put upon an English man OF
letters. We trust that every woman whose
name appears this morning on THE TRBUNEs
roll of American Peeresses is proud to own the
soft impeachment which vexed the soul of
Moore. The relative value of cOronets and
kind hearts has been pretty definitely deter
mined, and we do not pretend to be grateful
that Columbia has been robbed of so many of
her daughters. But it can at least be said that
the instances are few and far between where
American girls have been bought by foreign
gold. Indeed, except for cbivarous considera-
tons, IL would be as well to admit frankly that
the balance of trade is against us.
Notwithstanding all that has been said and
written about the American wives OF foreign
noblemen, and the gallant or ignoble missions
on which, with increasing frequency and ardor,
the scions of ancient houses visit these shores,
there will be general establishment at the length
of the roll we print to-day. Many of those
whose names appear on the list are so separated
in interests. obligations and environment from
the land of their birth, that though not pur-
posely estranged, it has become as easy to for
get as to be forgotten. Some OF them adj
mirably fill great places in the eyes OF the
world Others have been consigned to lives
more obscure and Improbable than might
easily have fallen to their lot in this land OF
equal birth and boundless opportunities; and
il is conceivable that the sorrows and disap-
pointments of this mortal state are keener with
those who have travelled far in search OF hap
piness.
American women, for whose entertainment
the newspapers have been compelled to do too
little during the last few months, are certain
TO scan with interest this record Of the marital
achievements of their sisters. We trust that
they will not learn it by heart, for that would
be n waste of time. Fortunately, we have not
vet reached that stage where genealogical lore
is essential to peace of mind. In this country a
woman may still meet the requirements OF So
ciety without troubling herself overmuch about
the antecedents of her acquaintance. There
is no demand for an American Peerage on the
part of those who would deserve to find place
in Il If there was one But all can afford to feel a
certain degree of curiosity about their country
women who are surely helping to difTuse in the
Old World some conception of American civil
cation and the influences Of American life.

Four Naval officers have been sent to Mexico
and Central America to secure certain longi-
tudes. They are ordered to go on ship of
the Spanish Transatlantic Company. If it be
worth while to send detachment of American
officers to Mexico after longitudes, it is GER
tainly worth while to send them in American
steamers, several of which go more directly to
the point where these officers begin work than
the vessels Of the Spanish line. 1t is passing
strange why the Administration persists in
making ugly faces at the American shipping
lines.

Il IL not particularly creditable to the British
press that they desert MIR. Cleveland in this
hour of his misfortune They heralded his
election four years ago with paeans of rejoic-
ing. They have loaded him with compliments
and praises throughout his administration.
They earnestly advised the American people to
elect him again, and up to the very day of the
baloting they interested themselves in his be-
half. He did the best he could to merit their
regard. He adopted the policy they mapped
out for him. He gave them all they asked
that lay in his power to give, and it certainly
does seem hard, now that he is laid low, to have
them telling him he never amounted to much,
anyhow. This is not generous. 1t is not fair.
1t will tend to make Democratic statesmen ex-
ceedingly shy of the British press hereafter

General Sheridan-Wel, I know nothing mora
about this alleged boom than what have read
