Minister Phelps, Retnrn.

Mr.. Edward j. Phelps, our minister to
England, has returned to this cOunUr Y
to stay. He wasn't in n tall alive mood
when he landed in New York-that is, he
wasn't disposed to talk of the West Mar
Gibson letter, or any other diplomatic mat
ter with which he has had anything to do
1t was hardly to be expected that he would
take the reporters int lis confidence to the
extent of telling them state secrets, partic-
ulsrly before he had reported to his chief
the Secretary OF State.
There is not much doubt that Mr.. PhelDs
left England because England had failed to
appoint a succe ssor to Lord SlclIville West.
Our government waited several months for
the English government to send a repre-
sentative here, and it finally concluded prob
ably that its self respect and a proper re-
gard for its dignity required that Mr..
Phelps should leave England. This country
is in no more need of representative at the
Court of St James than F. gland is Of one
at Washington. Ii it is the purpose
of the English government to punish the
administration for SEEDING Minister West

lndlca, O. u at the administration does not
intend to be punished. Doubtless when
Gen. Harrison is inaugurated England will
be all smiles again, and will appoint mir
lister at once to represent her at Washing
ton
Mr.. Phelps had no occasion to complain
of his treatment in England, so far as the
English people were concerned. In fact, he
was remarkably popular wish them, and
they were very generous in their attentions
of a social character to him. He proved
himself to be very able a.d satisfactory
mi .iste". He acquitted him elf with credit
in his official capacity and in a social way
He was rather severely criticised TO-: the
little affair with Allan Thorndyke Rice
but his side Of il has ever beeA fully $ a.ed
and, besides, some allowance must be made
for him in that matter on account of his

Edgerton and His Grievance.

Mr.. Edyerton mas been talking rather
reckle-slv since the President Informed him
that his services were no longer desired as q
civil service commissioner. He denies,
however, that he has said anything
that in the least reflects on Mr.. Thomp-
son, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
who has been nominated 10 succeed him.
Alleged statements of his. which indicate
that ne has not a very friendly feeling for
Mr.. Thompson, have ap cared in the news
papers, tut as he p ompUly declared they
were inco rect, there is no occasion for com
menticg upon them.
M EdgortOA, Of course, feels that he has
a grieta uce Of some sort, but he does not
seem TO know exactly what it is Probably
he will have q clearer idea OF it By the time
lie is ready to write the saucy eter to the
President. which, t is understood, he prom
ised to do soon after he was notified of his
re oval
The fact is, Mr.. Ejgerton ought to have
been removed long ago. He is Mt in sym
Iathy wi h civil service reform, and does
not pretend to he. be is an Indiana spoils-
man, and the President made a mistake in
nominating him member of the civil ser
vice commission. II is rather rem ark
abe that Nh. Edgertol should have
accepted the petition. Holding the
views ne does relative 20 the civil
service, it is difficult to understand how he
could have accepted it without some loss Of
self-reSIect The President thought he was
u civil service reformer He got the i'm
preston that be was from the late Chief
Ju,t.cs Waite, who requested the President
to make him one Of the commissioners Mr..
Edgerton had been lifelong friend Of the
chief justice, who wanted him in Washing
ton
Mr. Eigerton, it is alleged, retarded t o
work of the commission. IL a debate in
the Senate not long ago it vas stated that
be regarded civil service reform as q hum
bug. Mr.. Edgerton did not deny the state
ment, and the fact that ne did not must be
accepted as convincing evlderce of its cor
rectness. If the President had been less
patient he would have removed him long
ago, and il Mr.. Edgerton had been little
more sensitive he would have acted on
the hints Of the President, given on variou.
occasions, and resigned. He seems to have
preferred to be suGmarily dismissed He
is so much of spokesman that his grip on
an office must be broken. He will never
let 60 of it Of his own accord.
Assistant Secretary Tho 1pson is in
every respect fitted to be a civil SER
vice commissioner. He believes in
reforming the civil service, and if
his nomination is confirmed he will
devote himself earnestly to its improve
ment. It is Mt probable, however, that
his nomination will be confirmed. Tho re
publican senators, 1t is understood, ha G
determined tAat Gen. Harrison shall have
the epportunity to make up the comm sion
to suit himself. 1t is thought that they
will refuse, therefore, to act upon Mr..
Tuomp5on's nomination, although there is
no other democrat for whom they have
greater respect.

Gradually Admitting the Truth.

One Of the most partisan of the repub-
lican newspapers, the New York Press, ap-
pears to be somewhat surprised to find that
the colored people OF the south are not
being educated wholly at the expense Of the
north. 1t says: Nor is it true that the
impetus to these philanthropic efforts has
come solely from tue north. While several
college and zchoois for colored people have
been chiefly maintained by funds sent from
this section it IS asserted, on good author
it. E., that the money thus contributed forms
but a small proportion Of what has bean ex-
pended in the different states for this
worthy object. Since 1870 Alabama has
voted S350O,oOO Georgia $2555, 900, and
Virginia over 24,O00,OOJ, that colored cti-
zens and their children might be taught the
elements of good education"
If the Press viii take the trouble to make
a thorough in estiyation, it will fad that
the white people of the south are heavily
taxed to maintain public schools, and tina.
the colored children have the same advan-
"a yes in t1ese schools a. the white children.
1t will find also that the money contribu ed
by the north for the lucation of the col
ored people in the soItn is 50 small in
amount in comparison with thai
contributed by the south that il
is hardy worth mentioning. The
northern people, however, take good care
20 mention their contributions. They make
more noise over the few thousands they
contribute than the southern people do ov
their hundreds of thousands OF contriou-
ti0Ds TfOwavar- tba aOur harm v,aorIa bo,,.
no fault to find with the northern people
for seeking credit for what they do for the
education Of the colorad people # the south.
but they think it would be but fair for the
northern people to clam only the credit to
which they are entitled.
The Press in the same article has this TO
say about The co or liue: While the color
line and all that the term implies. is still
unpleaSantly visible in some parts of the
south. the social problems involved are in
fair way Of being satisfactorily solved. -"
Evidently the Press is not well informed
about the color line. 1t seems to think that
there is no color line except in the south.
Peraap3 it wishes to be understood
tlat altho Igh visible III the north,
it ia not "unpleasa tly' so. It is true
there are not many colored people in the
north j. comparison with the number in the
south, but it is noticeable tina there is lust
as much prejudice against the colored peo-
pie there as in Che south. At Asbury PARK
last summer the "color linen became rather
unpleasantly visible and at 1iarion, ILL.,, a
few days ago. it was 50 conspicuous that it
attracted the attention of the entire coun-
try. If the Press will Ike ID its eyes open, it
may notice that it becomes unpleasantly
visible quite frequently, even in New York
| city.

Dancing That is Wicked.
From the Waterbury Republican,

An exchange asks if waltzing is wicked.
Some waltzing is. When man steps on his
partners dainty little feet every other second.
does not keep time with the music, attempts to
hop while his partner giides, digs his hand into
the middle of her back. involves his extremites
in such maze of confusion that he can't tell
his right foot from his left, bumps his knees
into his companion, and cOllides with every
couple that comes near him, it must be ad-
mitted that waltzing is wicked. How fortunate
it is for some men that they are not born quad
rupeds. If they have SO much difficulty man
aging two legs. how much more fearful and
wonderful would their dancing be with four
legs to absorb their attention.
