PHILADELPHIA'S BOLTERS.

Certain Philadelphia manufacturers have
placed themselves In line with the silver Sen
ators who have defeated Protection by bctray-
ing the party which elected them These manu-
facturers deserve public thanks for taking OH
the garb Of Republicansm, which they have
been wearing. and going over openly to the
Silver party. The end has come Of their pre-
tcnce to be sincere and genuine Republicans; and
as many as do not want TO fight Protection UNI
less they have free silver coinage now
warned that they need TO separate themselves
distinctly from this Pennsylvania cabal Its
inside purpose Is incautiously exposed by the
last sentence Of the Washington dispatch which
described the conference. Like Il wOmans post
script this final sentence told the whole story.
saving: The incidental mention of j. Donald
Cameron rs good man for the nomination for
the Presidency met with cordial approval.
Hence all this fuss. The Silver party Is entirely
welcome 10 nominate Mr.. Cameron and 10 alb
sorb his PENNSYLVANIA friends and that State
will proceed TO give larger ma jority for Pro
lection than before.
The Republican party throughout the country
will not be- very charitable in It's feeling respect

pcrcd through the Republican policy Of Protec-
Gratis 10 Kick IL over until they can dictate TO
The Nation It's financial policy. II is difficult to

THE CENSURE OF Mr.. BAYARD.

The adoption by the House of Representatives
of the lOng-standing resolution censurlng the
Ambassador Of the United States to Great Brit
ain for offensive utterances in public probably
closes an incident the Importance OF which has
perhaps been somewhat exaggerated. AT the
same time this formal reproval expresses a
strong and lust sentiment. Mr.. Bayard's dec
lamation against an American policy of gov
eminent which Is as old as the country. and
which has lately been ratified by an overwhelm-
ing popular majority, was worse than an indis-
cretion 1t was dn affront which the American
people, to whom he had applied only few
months earlier an ll-fltting and unseemly de-
scription, were sure to resent. whether or not
II received official notice As we have said al
ready, the objects Of Mr.. Bayard's depreciation
are to blame for having fostered in the minds
of this cOuntrys diplomatic representatives IN
Great Britain misconception of their func-
tons. 1t has been too generally the custom OF
the American people 10 measure the qnaliiica-
tons and the serviceableness Of American Min
listers at the Court Of st. James by their facl-
ity in winning rather cheap English encomiums.
1t Ia, therefore not wholly Mr. Baynrd's fault
that he has laid himself open to censure, and
his fellow-countrymen will make mistake II
they do not apply to themselves the lesson of his
discontinue
1t has been rnmored that Mr.. Bayard might
resign II Congress rebuked him. but we do not
expect him to do so, and we hope that the adop-
ton of the House resolution will not have that
consequence We trust rather that as he reflects
upon 1t he will discern the improperly Of the
utterances which 1t condemns, and be led not
merely to put suitable restraint upon his
tongue hereafter. but to adopt revised estl-
mate Of his quality as the representative not
OF party. but Of Nation. If In addition to
that the American people learn from this ex-
perience to measure Mr. Bayard's successors
by a somewhat different standard from the one
which has hitherto satisfied them. there Will
be substantial compensation for a disagreeable
incident

FORuER ARBITRATION IN GUIANA.

An interesting and suggestive parallel tn the
Venezuela boundary case was citcd IN" DINER
day by DR.. Emil Reich. In THE londoi. enron
cle"-tO wit, the dispute over the boundary be
tween Dutch and French GUAM. Like The
former II had been pending many years. and
WIS brought 10 an acute crisis by the discovery
of gold and consequent rush OF settlers into the
contested territory. There was remarkable
similarity between the conditions OF proprietor
shin OF the two parties. The Dutch based their
claims on original possession just ~ ;he Ncncz-
uclans-the successors of the Spanlards-do In
their case. and the French based theirs on titles
ACQUIRED from Portugal. just the British do
ON their treaty with the Dutch. Indeed. the
two cases are practically Identical in form "ln
the one" saws DR. Reich. the Portuguese are
1.-The ccssoIs. the French the ccssionaircs and
1.-THE Dutch the complainanis. In the other the
Dutch are the cessors, the English the ccs-
"sionaircs and the NencZuclans the complain
ANTS"
After some wrangling ii was agreed to sub
NIT the case TO the Car. Alexander III. Tor
arbitration. Then cropped mp another point Of
similarity TO the Venezuelan case-nnin'ly a
sort of Schomburgk line. beyond which arbi'ra-
ton was not 70 extend But the Car promptly
declared that such an arrangement was iniol-
cradle and that he would not arbiirhte the case
at all unless the whole region In dispute was
submitt,, to him. This gave rise TO further ais
cussion. but finally both contestants agreed to
the Cars terms. He then carefully considered
the case and rendered a decision which was
accepted by both parties. II would bc well II
the parallel Of the Venezuela dispute could be-
thus carried TO the end Nothing would be re-
qu!red for it nut the application Of ordinary In
ternational law. and the submission of the whole
case 10 an impartial arbitrator
