POOR WALLER AGAIN.

Walters has been a celebrated case in
many of irs phases, but 1t is plain tre
French government is not disposed 10
make hero of him. They say TO America:
"You can have the fellow if you want
him, but we sban't pay a single centime
on his account
They offer Waller his liberty if he will
take 1t, simply because so much sympathy
has been aroused by pleas OF illness and
approaching death, providing the United
States Government will agree not to hack
the man or bis family in any scheme to
exact indemnity. AS the attitude of the
United States has been made farcical all
along by the refusal of the French govern
to the records of the case, possibly the
best way out would be 10 consent to any,
thing that viii hberate the ex-consuI, after
which he could lay his wrongs before the
public In his own way.
Tie French government need not await
any pledge from this administration touch
ing the indemnity question. Mr.. Cleveland
has lost no sleep on account of the Waller
case. Mr.. Olney is not interested. If
Ambassador Eustis has seemed indifferent
be has but reflected the feeling at head
quarters. Jean Crapaud may consider the
pledge as good as given that If Waller
be released Brother Jonathan will not
