10 America. 1t will be as serious to our
prestige as when Mr.. Gladstone allowed
our flag to be trodden by the Beers. I"
The New York correspondent Of the
Times argues that the fact that Senator
Sherman allies himself with the presi.
dent on the Venezuela question augrs
i'll for the cessation Of the controversy
Mr.. Sherman sides with President
Cleveland against all the great lawyers
and all the best authorities on this
question:. both American and Eu-
ropean, and against Monroe himself,
says the correspondent He thinks
Senator Sherman's attitude indicates
that the Republicans are not entirely
separated from President Cleveland.
He sees danger in Senator Shermau's
assumption that the quieter state of
affairs grows out of the belief among
the people Of the United States that
Lord Salisbury Is ready to acquiesce
in arbitration.
