careful to exclude such men

REFERRING to the banquet in honor Of
the United States officers Of the cruiser
Chicago. at which Ambassador Bayard
spoke, the London Times says;
Policy rather than sentiment, must al.
ways determine the practical relations
even Of countries near akin as Great
Britain and the United States but policy
is affected by sentiment, aud the senti.
ment at yesterdays gathering must help
render the relations of England and
America more intimate and cordial, more
conductive 10 a friendly and stable un-
dsrstanding In the future
The writer, In discussing the United
States navy, says:
II already contains the promise Of po-
tency and an immense, incalculabls
future. IL will before long be repre-
sented by some Of ths most powerful
ships In the world. IL seems reasonable
to regard this growth as the spontaneous
hitherto almost unconscious, response Of
great nation to the imperative calls o
a natural destiny.
The Times does not agree with th'
courteous, broad minded TurveydroI
Of the News, who refers to Mr.. BayarC
as "toady" as being "at home" Blu
the Times is not an advocate Of protec
tionsm, Of negro suffrage, and the Hg
gins quality Of Republicanism.

Governor PattIson and the strII.ers.

HARRISBURG, May Ex-Governor Patti
son and Adjutant General Greenland re-
turned from a visit to Houtzdale where
they went in the hope of bringing about a
speedy adjustment of the trouble between
the striking coal miners and the operators.
Tho governor was seen at the executive
mansion after his return, but he declined
TO discuss the probable results of the trip
on the ground Of having agreed to act as
an arbitrator in the difficulty, should that
course be agreed upon, it would not be
proper for him TO talk on the situation.
He expects TO have a conference with the
operators I'm few days and will endeavol
to have both sides agree to arbitratc. HC
says the miners are willing to take this
course and thinks the operators will alsC
consent to do so. The governor is pleased
with the courteous manner in which h'
was received by the miners and is con
yinced that the strike will be settled with
out loss of property or life

THE labors Of the Philadelphia Press
TO defend its correspondent, W. j.
Edwards, for refusing to testify. are
tantamount to an apology. They do not
constitute sufficient apology even. A
Newspaper correspondents position is
not the same as that Of physician, or
Of lawyer. But we do not believe that
the members OF these professions should
promise 10 assist a criminal escaping
from justice. They ought to refuse to
recognize that their duty TO a single
citizen is more sacred than their duty to
all citizsns-to the state The cases are
not parallel, however. Neither a
physician nor lawyer tells half
Of the truth, tells that crime
has been committed, relates the
circumstances. declares that important
