LONDON, Dec. 26.-(New York WorlC
Cablegram-Special Telegram.)-The publica
ton everywhere in England and Europe thii
morning Of tho joint message OF the prince
OF Wales and the duke Of York in response
to Mr.. Pulitzer's cablegram, is considered
by the English newspapers and the English
people as an event Of the greatest political
Importance. The exigency which could lead
any member Of the royal family-the prince
OF Wales most of ALTO intervene in any
way in any question, even remotely associated
with politics. is universally accepted as in
deed serious. Such a public expression by
an English sovereign or a prospective
uoverelgn as this cablegram to the World
ts probably unprecedented in English history
The message is obviously accepted as all this
by the entire press and people Of England.
1t is given the first place in the news columns
CT every newspaper, is printed again In the
news summaries, and again in every leading
editorial.
The London Telegraph plainly points out
the reasons why 1t is to be considered Of
the very highest Importance.
ftl.NCE w
1.-THE prince of Wales and the duke CT
York" says this most widely circulated Of
oil the English journals, 'have united In
dispatching to America, at the instance Of
the editor of the New York World, a paper
that has done invaluable service to the cause
OF peace during the recent outbreak of anti
British feeling, an important telegram bear
Ing upon the relations Of the two countries.
The very rarity Of the occasion upon which
an heir to the throne intervenes in current
political affairs, whether domestic or inter
national, increases the effect Of the message,
which Is practically one of coed will to the
whole body Of United States public. 1t is
one of those principles of conduct which the
prince of Wales has always studiously fol-
lowed that his position prevents him from
taking any share in the partisan controversies
of the day. There Is nothing in the constitution
which in any way ~enjCins such abstention,
and on rare occasions 1t might become the
duty Of the heir apparent to express his own
opinion on one side or the other Of some de-
bated question. Cases can well be imagined
where it would be to the great advantage of
the nation that wards Of warning or Of en-
enlargement should proceed from so eminent
Il SOURCE. -beHcld any HoWeNti, III pIdCiiCe,
II not the theory, of the constitution has
precluded royalty from either saying or do
ing anything that could in the slightest de-
gree bear an outer semblance of political
partisanship, and on all ordinary occasions
it can easily be seen that such a course
Is the wisest to be adopted by one who will
some day be called upon to rule over all
parties and classes alike. In international
politics the case is different, and here there
is an inherent fitness In the voice of royalty
being occasionally heard, speaking the senti-
ment of the whole people.
% SHOULD CARRY GREAT WEIGHT.
1.-THE reply which the prince has directed
to be sent to n transatlantic journalist is
one that will in tone as we'll as in sub
stance common itself to both nations
1t affords one more example of the
unerring skill and tact which has charac-
terized in a very remarkable manner all
the public utterances of letters of it's IL |
lustrious author. In 1t his royal highneas.
in his own name and that of the duke of
York, expresses an earnest trust and be-
lief that differences that unhappily prevail
be adjusted in a manner satisfactory
to both countries, and that they will be
by the same warm feeling of
friendship that has existed between them
Tor so many years.
There will be a general feeling Of graft
Jude to the prince for having dispatched 50
a message to our kin beyond the
seas. There have bsen stupid efforts made
10 produce bad blood between the two Anglo
saxon communities, and at one time 1t really
seemed as though there might be danger
,f the war craze overpowering the saner
Judgment In the United States. All the
more necessary, therefore, is 1t that men
II eminence and influence in each camp
should act as volunteer peacemakers and
lttempt to show wildly to both nation,
small is the subject Of dispute and
lamentably great would be the calam-
ty ora resort to arms. Happily the worst
4 the fever is now over, and unless some
lntoward event Of a totally unexpected and
Unlikely character should occur, there ought
o be no further setback to the progress
oward convalescence. The true International
ttitude Is certainly that warm feeling of
to which the princes telegram
efers. and the sooner we return to that
ttitude the easier will it be to forget that
urbed. "''''
FEELING OF THE FAMILY.
The Times, in a leader OF four columns, is

declares, has rendered an important serv-
