DTPLOUdTIC STUUP-SPEAhING.

To our National exhibition Of Diplomatic
Daisies must now be added, as chief OF them
ALL our Ambassador to Great Britain. The
others have brought discredit upon their coun-
try by certain vagares Of conduct and OF speech
II has been reserved for Mr.. Bayard deliberately
10 denounce and TO malign America and Amcri-
can institutions before foreign audiences Some
three months ago, for example, at Boston, Eng
land. he dwelt with perfervid rhetoric upon the
unfltness Of Americans for self-government and
the need Of a strong personal autocrat to rule
over them. The President of the United States
he said stood amid people who sought to have
their own way and whom 1t took strong man to
govern II that meant anything II meant that,
in his opinion government of the people by the
people failure, and that dictator was
needed who could and would override the pop
ular will. 1t may be that Mr.. Bayard really
thinks that, and that other Americans do; and
perhaps such sentiments are agreeable to Euro
peans who do not believe in republican institu-
lions Certainly Americans In general do not
think So For any American TO say such things
publicly IN foreign lands is Of doubtful pro-
priety. For the highest official representative
of the American Government to do so Is Of I'M
doubted improperly.
Having thus repudiated American institutions
in general. Mr. Bayard now proceeds to de-
nounce them in particular He fights party
ba titles on foreign platform, and tries TO show
to the world how bitter are the fractional ami
mosIties Of American politics At Edinburgh
on Thursday he took up the burden Of prophecy
against that American system" which was
founded by Madison and his colleagues. pro
NOTED by Clay. and has through the best years
of our history been the settled policy Of the
Nation. 1T has" he cried. done more TO cor
'.r,lpt public life. to Danish men of Independent
mind from public councils, and to lower the
tone Of National representation. than any other
single cause. 1t has Slapped the popular con-
Science, and thrown legislation into the pOltl-
zeal market, where tobbers and chaferers take
"the place Of statesmen" That is the picture
he draws Of American public life during the en-
tire period Of his own Senatorial career That
is the account Of American public policy, given
to a foreign and not altogether friendly audi
ence, by the highest official representative Of
the American Government.
We are not prepared to say that Mr.. Bayard
realized he was doing grossly improper thing.
1t may be that he sincerely imagined 1t to be
the function OF an Ambassador 10 wash dirty
linen and fight ont partisan feuds before the
eyes of the world. He may think that as Am
bassador TO Great Britain, he Is as free to dis
cuss American party politics before British au-
diences as he was when an American Senator
TO do so In the Senate Chamber or on the stump.
If so, we are inclined to think the American
people, regardless OF party, disagree with him.
More than one-half OF the American people be-
lieve in the policy Of Protection which he 80
bitterly Ubels. Docs he not consider himself

AN INQUIRY DEMANDED.

Some CONDENSATION for the costly and alarm
Ing fire of last Tuesday night Is already OBJ
seryable since Il seems certain to direct gen
eral attention to an extremely grave question
Of public concern and is likely to be instru-
mental in furnishing basis for intelligent legs-
lative action. Not long after the Ireland build
ing disaster The Tribune, in referring to Super
intenden, Constable's views on the subject, ex-
pressed the opinion that the time had come for
careful investigation Of the problems which
had been created by the general introduction OF
new system OF construction. That suggestion
is enforced by the swift destruction Of the Man
haitian Bank building last week. and by the
disquleting predictions which 1t has led not a
few experienced observers TO make. 1t Is true
that the structure which at the first test com
pletplv disproved all the claims which had been
made for It was not an exact embodiment OF the
latest principles Of skeleton construction; but
there Is little II any reason TO doubt that It's tate
accurately suggests what would happen to many
buildings Of the latest type II they should be
similarly tried. The thin covering Of brick and
stone which forms the exterior Of many lofty
and more or less attractive building OF recent
creation Is not sufficient protection against
external heat for the jointed fabric which II
hides, while there Is substantially nothing TO
protect that fabric from within. Doubtless in
many and perhaps in most cases, the outer shell
Is not. strictly speaking, infammable, but that
IL OF little account II 1t Is incapable Of safe
guarding the metallic skeleton articulated with
In 1t.
Moreover II Is not merely the method OF con-
strlction which causes gloomy forebodlngs con-
corning numerous modern buildings. The Fire
Department bitterly complains also Of the height
10 which they rise, and the consequent difficulties
and dangers with which II must inevitably be
beset when called upon to defend them. In a
city Of enormous real estate values the owner
Of piece Of ground Is Of course often strongly
building upon II. and his privileges ought not
to be careessly curtaed; but the community
has superior rights which it would be criminal
TO waive altogether and the time has certainly
come to consider how much longer and further
individual wishes can be safely INDUCED. Nor
IS the excessive risk Of fire the only objection 10
buildings Of extraordinary height. as The Trib-
une has often said Excepting when. as in rare
instances, they look upon large open spaces they
produce conditions seriously prejudicial to health
in their immediate neighborhood and their in
definite multiplication would convert the streets
which they bound into gloomy and noxious
crcvasses. From every point Of view the pro
priety Of deliberate and panstaking inquiry
into the numerous problems which this subject
presents is obvious, and 1t seems probable that
legislation will have to be invoked for the gen
eral welfare and safety.
