payard,. Foreign Addresses.

The President, agreeably TO tho re-
guest OF the house OF representatives.
communicates Ambassador Bayard's
explanation OF the two addresses re-
Gently delivered by him, one in Edin-
burgh and one in Boston, England. The
explanation is not satisfactory.
We were aware that the Edinburgh
address was delivered before "a society
purely literary and scientific in its char
acter," but what possible bearing can
this have on the ambassadors savage
Iunge at his own country? Doubtless
IL Is true that the address consisted OF
the ambassadors personal opinions
upon governmental institutions in gem
erai," but how does this mitigate the
offense OF using his own country as a
horrible example?.
II the assertions OF our ambassador be
true, free government as We have at
tempted 1t and practieed It in this coun-
Try for more than a century Is the sorri-
est failure In history. and should perish
from the earth. II our public life has
been corrupted. II we need "a real man
To govern" us, all that the fathers
fought for Is a de,usion, that which the
founders thought they had established
Is only q pittall, and the rankest despot-
ism may y preferable to our republican
form OF government.
II Is answer enough TO any defense OF
the propriety OF this performance to try
to irnagine-a: thing which is unimagtn-
able-the British ambassador to the
United States heralding in this country
the failure OF the British form Of gov
eminent and accounting for that fail
ure by the corruption OF British public
life. The next pulsation Of the cable
would have brought his recall, and the
next steamer would have taken him
home In disgrace.
Mr.. Bayard speaks OF precedents.
There Is not one. He names Mr.. Lowell.
While Mr.. Lowell represented US at the
court OF st. James he was In much re-
quest at public gatherings. He never
once befouled his own nest It never
occurred to him that as the country's
official representative he could divest
himself OF his official relation and speak
merely as the man James Russell
Lowell. In his classic address on DE
mocracy' Mr.. Lowell had the felicity to
please his British audience and to COM
mend himself TO his own countrymen.
He took the view Of an optimistic philo-
sopher. Mr.. Bayard took the view OF
n pessImistic tuft-hunter hungry for
foreign applause.
II Ambassador Bayard were plain Mr..
Beyard at home, he might express such
personal opinions as seem good to him.
It was not the opinion Of the man, 1t
was the un-American and discordant'
note OF the ambassador that grieved
and enraged his countrymen. He
should have been recalled at once. and
whould have been by an administration
having nice PERCEPTION Of the situn-
ton.
A President who removed q district
attorney for making a political speech
inhis own country might have been ex-
pected to see in a clearer and juster
light the official offense OF this am
bassador.

It is not at all sure thing that the
New York delegation to the st. Louis
convention will be solid for Governor
Morton. There are some very strong
protests against the delegation going
that way. Some of these protests come
with vigor from Republican news
papers.
There is no lack of respect for Gever-
nor Morton. who has served well in the
high places he has held and is clean be-
yond attack; but there are New York
Republicans who feel that Governor
Morton cannot be nominated and that
Mr.. Plat encourages his candidacy for
purposes OF his own.
The opposition to the Morton move
ment is, doubtless, to some extent oppo-
sition to and distrust OF Mr.. Plat It
should be said in justice to Governor
Morton that he is In earnest. II Mr..
Plat is playing game the governor is
not consciously helping him on with It.

Serious Damage Feared in the Vicinity of
Sacramento

Sacramento
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 23.-The new back
levee inclosng the lands of Messrs. Me-
gowan. Crum and McGregor, on the Yolo
side about two miles below Washington,
gave way last night and some 600 acres of
valuable river front land are inundated.
The water in the Yolo basin is now near
ly as high as any time last season, al
though the rainfall to date is only go per
cent of last season. DR.. G. M. Dixon, a
large land owner in the flooded district,
says that be is of the opinion that unless
radical work is Immediately done at the
mouth of the river by both the federal and
state governments, every acre of so-called
reclaimed lands of the valley will eventu-
ally be buried deep under sand and water,
and that at no very distant date.
The doctor says that he has the opinion
of one of the best engineers in the state
that it is only question of a compare
lively short time when the main channel
of the Sacramento river will run be-
hind Washington and this city be located
thereby on dry drift of sand-way during
dry seasons.
DR.. Dixon says that immediate and
heroic action is necessary to avert impend-
ing disaster.

If Mr.. Cleveland, from broader horizon,
has done some things that has challenged
the criticism of few of the members of
his party, it is not to be wondered at. He
Is not alone the president of a political
party or faction. but of the people of the
United States, and being an independent
man, determined in purpose, his acts ne
cessarly provoke criticism. He would lose
his identity were he to conduct things to
please everybody, but, like Jackson, he is
Inclined TO preserve his individuality. He
is dealing with the affairs of a nation, and
not of a party, and while he may have
done some things that we could not fully
endorse at the time. we are ready to con-
fess that he was right and we were wrong.
Time and patience play havoc with the
private opinions of many men who profess
to be prophets in the world We prefer to
give him all the support we can, rather
than harass him by adverse criticism and
denunciation.-Fresn Expositor.
