AN INSULT, IN ANY LIGHT.

Does Mr.. Grover Cleveland, President of
the United States, propose TO put up with
the insult Sir Lionel Sackville West has
offered TO Americans by impertinently sug-
gesting to them how to voteP Mr.. Bayard
says il was an indiscretiop, and intimates
that he will not ask for Sir LioneTs recall.
Can this remarkable view by the Sec.
retarv have any relation to the fact
that MiaiSt'r Vests purpose was to pro-
mote he candidacy of Mr.. Cleveland ?
Do the American people propose to submit
to such humiliation and subserviency on
the part of the Federal Government, with
out entering an indignant protest? Up
out of and above politics, Sir Lionel Sack
vile West, her gracious Maiesty's Minister
TO the United States of Americ3, has been
guilty not only of a breach of official Dc CO.
our political contest, and he ought to be
sent packing back to England. Even the
service be has rendered in confirming the
charge that English free trade interests
look upon MI CleFeldHu dS Tree uadeI,
and hope for his election, that American
industrial interests may be placed al Eng
lish mercy, should not mitigate the pun
ishment that ought to be visited upon this
intermeddling Minister.
Suppose Nh. Phelps, our Minister at the
Court OF st. James, should in a Parlia-
mentary election advise English voters to
stand for or against the Irish Home Rule
candidates, would Americans hear the last
of John Bulls roaring? Would not Mr..
Phelps be brought home with such a jerk
as would make his head snap? Would not
Englishmen and Irishmen alike be indig-
nant, and would they not be justified in
their anger?

THE BRITISH MINISTER SUPPORTS MR.
CLEVELAND.

The British Minister at Washington ad-
mits that he writes let;ers-in his personal
capac-ty-advising voters to support Cleve-
land and Thurman, and adds that he las
no fear that the State Department will ask
the English Cabinet to recall him. Of
course no; Mr.. Bayard will not rebuke the
servitor who does his master favor He
has already said quite as much, and init
mates that Sir Sackville can be forgiven.
1t is not at all surprising that Lord Sack
vile West should support Grover Cleve-
land-all England is doing the same. As
Senator Stanford puts it, 'the English are
unanimous for Cleveland; and for the best
of reasons. Mr.. Cleveland proposes to
make the United States an open market for
English manufactures and products, to the
crowding out and obliteration of American
competing industries. Under such circum-
stances the English would be fools not to
support Cleveland, and the London Spec
tat0r would be untrue to itself not to say, as
it did, that ''the Presidents terse and tell
ing message has struck a blow at Ameri-
can protection such as could never have
been struck by any Fair Trade League"
1t is pity, for Mr.. Cleveland's sake, that
Englishmen in England can't vote for him;
but Minister West is doing his best to fill
the need by advising naturalized English
men in the United States to give the mother
country aid and comfort by supporting the
mother countrys candidate, Grover Cleve-
land. Unless we greatly underestimate the
good sense and the results of the experience
of the English in America who have re-
nounced allegiance to her 'Majesty's Gov.
ernment," they do not propose to vote for
that condition of things here which drove
them from England to America to better
their condition. When English immigra-
ton turns backward, and flows from Amer
lea to England Republicans may lose hope
in the naturalized citizen of English ma
tivity, but not until then.

FRANCE.

There is nothing in Minister Floquet's
proposition for constitutional amendments
in France that commends it to the Ameri-
can mind. The constitutional structure of
that Republic is pregnant with fault. but
the Floquet plan will not rid the SUBJ
structure of the Government of it. What
France needs is not a trimming of branches,
but the ak at the root of the constitutional
evils. Mr.. Floquet proposes only slight
notifications, that may alleviate but will
not eradicate. The Senate should be made
more self-reliant and independent. The
Chief Executive should be given the choos-
ing of his Ministerial Cabinet. that should
be accountable directly to him. He should
be chosen by the people by direct process.
The President, except for offenses involv-
ing the integrity of the republic, should not
be removable by the Chamber. Until
France makes a nearer approach to the
American system of independent branches
of Government constituting checks upon
each other, she will go on imping and
hesitating in the guise of free Govern
ment, but really under the harsh rule of q
turbulent Assembly possessing unnatural
powers, and cohesive only by reason of ALI.

GROVER AND LIONEL.

1t will be competent and polite for Sir
Lionel Sackville West to invite Mr. Cleve-
land to spend with him in England in his
own retiracy the four years vacation he
will take Immediately succeeding the 4th
OF March, 1889. He will there be able to
study the beauties of cheap labor. Sir
Lionel can escort him to Glasgow and show
him Al, 600 of the 100000 families of work
ers in that manufacturing city living in
one room to each family, father, mother,
daughters and sons. Sir Lionel can whisk
Grover Cleveland over 10 Brussels and
show him the skilled workers making
spiral steel car springs for sixty cents per
day. If Mr.. Cleveland asks the spring
maker why he does not pay the men fair
wages, he will reply Because to sell the
springs in New York / must give up $50
out of every 500 of value to your customs
collectors, so l take the sum out of the
wages of my workers" If Mr.. Cleveland
asks the Belgian employer if free trade
would help him, he will reply: " Yes, can
flood the American car-spring market then.
or at least until American makers of
springs come down to sixty cents q day."

SENATOR sTANFoRD's VIEWS.

The San Francisco Examiner, in a mean
and contemplate spirit. has been lampoon-
ing and cartooning Senator Leland STAN
ford as the friend of Chinese labor, as
insincere in his opposition to the Chinese
influx and as solicitous to open up new
Chinese immigration. 1t has almost daily
for fortnight sought to attach to him
responsibility for the Truman letter That
precious document, by the way, when its
print comes to hand, turns out to be some
retrospective pleasantly and off-hand light
satire. 1t does not, we find, mention
Chinese immigration; on the contrary, it
strongly declares for restriction and uphods
the efforts made to put up the bar against
the Mongol. All the same, it has no more
to do with the Republican larty than the
man in the moon.
But that bit of New York Times litera-
ture is neither here nor there in the grossly
vulgar and dastardly course of the Eram-
iner in cartooning Governor Stanford, and
misrepresenting aud misinteipreting his
language The Examiner was among the
first to clamor for a clean campaign and
for fair play, and it is the first to descend
to such meanness, falsehood and indecency
as would disgrace the Barbary Coast.
If, however, the Examiners unmanly and
wholly vicious assaults upon Leland Stan
ford has moved any mind as the conscience
less sheet desires, the telegraphic dispatch
from the Senator to Sacramento Republi-
can, which we the other day published.
ought to convince such intelligence of the
supremely ridiculous character of such
charges as the Examiner makes. Governor
Stanford goes beyond the restriction of
Chinese immigration, and asks, Of what
use is it to exclude Chinese cheap labor
unless we also exclude the manufactures
of such labor? And no man can answer
the question satisfactorily who is not pro-
tectionist.

A LARGE BIBLE CLASS.
Wichita, Nov. 2d.

Sunday was beautiful and the church
bells called together large congregations
both morning and evening In all the
churches. The Sabbath schools through
out the city were unusually well attended,
children and adults alike rejoiced in the
delightful sunny autumn day.
At the Baptist school the Young PEG
pies Bible class was visited by thirty-four
members of the N. E. school from Glass
No. !. These two classes are composed OF
young ladies and gentlemen, and it Is
quite certain that Wichita never before
assembled such numbers in a similar class.
The home class numbered 60, which to-
gether with their visitors formed class OF
l03. Appropriate words Of welcome and
christian greeting by Mr. +. A. North,
teacher, and Prof. j. c. South, secretary,
were responded TO by Mr.. j. c. Jones, the
teacher of Class No. ]. Prof. South's ad-
dress was presented in writing and con-
tanned some beautiful sentiments of chris
tian unity Of purpose
He said that in view Of the kindly recep-
ton accorded the class he represented
when three weeks before they visited the
NJ. Z. Sunday school, he extended heart
felt thanks. I've welcome you here to-
day." he said, ''in the interest of social
unity, that we may widen acquaintance
ship and heighten esteem"
I'VE welcome you in the interest of a
wider biblical knowledge.
We welcome you because OF a common
fatherhOod and a common hope. 4
+ We believe in the brotherhood of all
all Christians, the common fatherhood of
God and the same universal indwelling
split. Forbid that either
class, or any member of either, should
ever entertain the narrow spirit Of him
whose love of life is for himself and not for
all the race Let none of us labor solely
for his own sect or denomination, but
rather for the coming day when all shall
have unity of purpose in the Lord"
Mr.. Jones in response said that he hoped
the pleasant relations existing between the
classes might always continue and that
all might participated in similar occasions
in the future

ADJUSTMENTS
CRAWFORD.


Pete Baker last evening at the Crawford
gave The EmIgrant" to a good sized
audience The last two acts of the play
were especially worthy of commendation
and the many happy hits made by Mr..
Baker were well received.
Mr.. j. j. Lodge and his accomplished
wife (Mamie Earle are members of the
company and the audience remembering
their very pleasing and eminently success
full work in the balmy days of the Main
Street theatre, gave both a most enthusi-
astic reception. Mr.. Lodge gave most
acceptable impersonation of the gambler,
Arthur Sidney; Mrs. Lodge did remark
ably well as AgneS, the divorced wife.
Little Grace Enler was quite charming
little girl and her sweet songs won her
audience.
The next attraction is Ranch 10, of which
the Newport Observer says:
The piece, as promised, presented many
thrilling situations, which were applauded
to the echo by the assembly. The scenery,
too, was a feature, the western corral being
an excellent setting, and b : fire scene was
one of the best of the kind ever seen here
The snow scene in the Rocky mountains
was very complete and WAS well received
The cnmpany was wholly competent. Mr..
j. Clinton Hall in the dual role OF the Nc
Clellands, acted with effect the many sides
of his character He was ably supported
by Miss Chester. Mrs. Hall as Lucretia
Smalley and John l.. Wooderson as the
judge, supplied the comedy element and in
the intensely amusing court scene they
kept the audience in continual roar.

DIR. GATES ON HE'LL.

Dr. Gates, at the First N. E. church, on
Sabbath evening, in Il unique not to say
mastery manner, handled the subject of
divine Retribution:" The discourse.
while lurid one, did not affirm literal
birthstone all ablaze, and a whole lake of
it came so uncomfortably close to it that
one could see the smoke and Whit the
sulphur. His text was Peters citations OF
Gods punishments in drowning the pre-
NOahites in the destruction and annihila-
ton of the cities of the Dead Sea and in
the casting out of Heaven myriads of
angels. Judging Gods words by his past
acts, and there is no getting around hades.
The Doctor held modern thought to be
the anti-Christ of the latter days, and his
conclusion of the whole matter seemed to
be that it was mighty short sighted and
improbable TO go to hell only to prove
that there was such place.

Last night there was quite disastrous
runaway on South Lawrence. Two men,
who, it was said, We're considerably under

down the street Several blocks below
they ran into tree and both were
pitched headforemost upon the street, re-
some bad bruises. Their rig was
broken and when last seen they were both
limping homeward and muttering some
emphatic remarks as to their bad luck.
