Even the weekiies pointed their current

For instance, the Saturday Review says:

delightful government to be accredited
to In euch lively times An indiscreet
correspondent elicits from you, or per-
haps party -puller entrsps you,
into writing confidential reply to a
private letter of inquiry and here is tho
result"
The Spectator, which one of several
papers that has leaned towards Harrison,
remarks: lit Is to secure the Irish vete
az we'll as the Interpretations vote
SHAT this nonsense is written about Eng
lish intrigue in favor OF Mr.. Cleveland.
Oan not Americans understand that il
the world were at stake Englishmen are
200 stupid to intrigue? Republican,
papers declare that Mr.. Cleveland is
Englands man and demand that the
minister should at once be sent home.
In country where no one respects any
right OF privacy and on the eve OF an
election, Lord Sackvills should have re-
turned more evasive answer or none st
all, 80 as to avoid even the appearance
OF influencing one vote. But the anger
expressed is ridiculous. Foreign smbas-
ssdors IN England are always favoring
parties from which they hope for help,
and American ministers ell over the
continent stand for liberal ideas, No
objection is raised unless they break
some diplomatic etiquette, which Lord
Salisbury has not done. He has only
made the mistake of thinking cloud
The affair ouiy proves the excessive im-
portanee attached in the states to British
opinion. Had the letter been written
by the French minister 1t would have
been considered proper courtesy toward
e president who he's still in any event
five months to reign.
Nearly all the Sunday papers give at
tention to the Saobville sensation. The
Dispatch remarks: Our sleepy foreign
secretary, Lord Salisbury, has missed an
opportunity. He ought at once to have
recalled Lord Sackvi1le by telegraph. but
he has waited until it was too late. Ac-
cordiDg to the report in the New York
Herald yesterday the American cabinet
has met and sent dispatch to London
informing Lord Salisbury that good
understanding between Great Britain
and She United States would be- pro-
NOTED by change of head at the British
legation at Washington, but even this
step will not undo the mischief. Lord
Sackville's letter may seriously influence
the Irish vote and imperil Mr.. Oleve.

course using it to the utmost"
So far as the provincial papers have
had time to notice the SaokvilIe matter
they seem to chorus the sentiments al
ready sent che Herald from London, con.
demning. Sackville's indiscretIon.
Doubtless Joseph Governs newspaper,
the Newcastle Chronicle, mey be &C.
cepted as one of the best exponenfs of
provincial sentiments. 1t contains q
long leader in the course of which il
says: sit is O lamentation that the
great republican party should resort to
tactics 80 dishonorabIe. It is, more
over. particularly enjoying that O
British minister should have become the
victim OF trick so transparent. Having
shown how easily he may be deceived,
it may be necessary TO find Lord Sack

Though IL is quite understood there is
no great culpability in his action, it is
humilieting to England that her
ambassador must be discreditad during
