WRONG OK GoRED.

The New York Evening Post thinks
Mr.. Bayard will take no notice of the
vote of censure passed by the House
on account of his Scotland speech in
which he took occasion to tell his opin-
ion Of the high tariff policy, and sensibly
adds that his course will probably re-
ceiye the approval of nine-tenths Of
the intelligent and thinking portion Of
the community. and this for various
reasons. The principal one is that all
censures OF a public officer in order to
have effect should plainly have in view
the good of the service. and should
emanate from some body whose judi
ciaI-mindedness on this point is not
open to suspicion. No one would think
Of attributing to the House any desire
that our Ministers abroad should not
be partisan. or should be selected for
their n-parusanship.
TIA bill were introduced tomorrow"
says our New York contemporary, TO
make our diplomacy a permanent
profession, to be filled by men divorced
from politics and bound to discretion
by the rules of their order, as diplO-
mats are in European countries, it
would not have a chance Of passing.
Nothing probably would the Republi-
can majority i'm Congress resist more
strenuously than an attempt TO deprive
them. in case they Won at the next
election. of the chance of giving for
eign missions to all leading Republi-
can partisans. If one of these parti-
sans had been in Mr.. Bayards place
before the Edinburgh University and
had protested against and criticised
British free trade" as something I'M
suited TO our country and prejudicial
to it's best interests. and had denounced
its advocates here as "un-American,"
he would have been secretly applauded
by this very House Of Representatives,
and no notice would have been taken
Of his escapade. Everybody believes,
and many know, that the trouble in Mr..
/ Bayard's case is due to the fact that
/ the wrong OK has been gored."
{ We all know that had Mr. Bayard
taken a slap at free trade before a
British audience. no matter how i'm
proper it might have been, nor how
! distasteful to the government to which
/ he was accredited. he would have been
applauded by the present House as a
manly American who wasn't afraid TO
beard the British lion in his den. There
is certainly no call for Mr. Bayard TO
take notice of the petty partisan act of
the peanut politicians at Washington.

CLEvELAND'S FIRST LOVE.
A Story Which is Almost Too Sweet
for Belief ar This Date.

A Story Which is Almost Too Sweet
for Belief at This Date.
Something like twenty years ago.
SAYS the Chicago Chronicle. a love af-
fair developed in a New York town be-
tween a charming young woman and a
lawyer. He was something older than
herself. and had been for long time
a sort of family friend As such he
met her mothers fullest approval, but
when it came 10 a question OF sOn-ln-
law she demured energetically. Though
not rich she was comfortably we'll OF.
Moreover. she was very ambitious. Her
sons were fiat failures. All her hope
was centered in her daughter. The
Young woman was no beauty. but had
been highly educated. and in music
came within a hairs breadth Of having
genius. So the wOOer was sent about
his business. the mother saying 10 her
intimates that she had not taken such
pains with her daughter TO see her
throw herself away upon poor law
yer. a man who had no sort of future.
though a good enough fellow in his
way.
Then the daughter began to droop
and pine. BY way of diversion the
mother took her TO the little Southern
city where she still resides. They had
friends there-other OF the tOwnfOlk
had preceded them-sO they came
quickly in social touch with the natives
and before long the young lady's ami
ability and accomplishments had made
the gallant Southern youngsters almoS,
overlook her want of beauty. She had,
in fact. so many gallants that after a
wear her mother thought it safe to
leave her there while she herself re-
turned to the old environment for a
winding up of loose ends of business.
She was gone three months and went
back 10 find her daughter married and
happy with a young civil engineer.
Whether or not that suited her am
