SOME ENGLISH WISDOM
LONDON, Sept. 3.-In an editorial the
Times this morning, discussing the poiit-
ical situation in the United States, in con
nection with the Indianapolis convention,
says that for President Cleveland to pre-
sent himself as stalking horse to secure
McKinleys return is rather more than
could be expected for a politician in the
American sense of the word.
1.-The American electors" says the Times,
with the instinct for taking a side, will
probably ignore the Palmer ticket as some
thing too refined and sublimated for every
day life. The outcome of the contest is
therefore as doubtful as ever. Without
understanding the eveils of the protection
regime, we are compelled to confess that
they would be insignificant compared with
n free silver regime. Looking to the inde-
cisive attitude of the Republican leaders
on the question we shall be agreeably sur
prised If Mr.. Mckinley obtains such a ma
jority as will give permanent check to
