"The mind that broods DER guilty woes,
Is like a scorpion, girt by fire.
One sad and soul relief she knows,
The sting she nourished for her foes,
Whose venom never yet was vain,
Gives but one pang, and cures all pain,
So do the dark in soul expire,
Or live like scorpion, girt by fire."-Byron.

BRITISH COMMENT.
London Newspapers on sherInan's Lates
Note to Salisbury.

Note to Salisbury.
LONDON, Oct. Is. The afternoon
papers take the same views of Secretary
Sherman's latest dispatch to the Mar
quis of Salisbury, on the sealing con-
ference question as expressed by the
morning papers.
The st. James Gazette says: It will
be relief if this transatlantic Polonius
is restricted in the future to playing the
fool in his own home, and the foreign
affairs Of his country are transferred
into more capable hands. But we need
not count upon this too confidently.
We, ourselves, allowed an elderly
statesman to play tricks in the national
name with national interests for many
long year.
The St. James Gazette taunts Mr..
Herbert Gladstone with copying Sec.
retary Sherman's s manner" in speech
which Mr.. Gladstone said that the Ven.
ezuelan question would not have been
peacefully settled if there had been no
United States concerned, adding that
in the latter case ''our sailor lads would
have been sent there and our troops
would have made short work of the
Venezuelan question. But the United
States appeared on the scene, and the
virtues Of arbitration became obviously
apparent.
The Times says:
"Allowing for the peculiarities Of
American diplomacy, there is no reason
to quarrel with Secretary Sherman's
reply on the subject Of the Bering sea
conference. We entirely disbelieve that
Lord Salisbury, in his oral communica'
tions with Ambassador Hay, ever de.
parted from the position adopted in his
6nal note of July %. But it is unnec'
sssary to deal seriously with express
sions of astopishment obviously in
tended to cover the failure Of an at

organs of American opinion"
