TIE French Consul at Havana gave very striking illustration the other day of the efficiency of a war ship in securing the rights of France. A French subject was arrested as q suspect. When the French Consul demanded her immediate trial or re- lease, the demand was refused, and two days later a French warship steamed into port. The Consul re- newed his demand, this time insist ing upon the prisoner s uncondition- al surrender, the withdrawal of all charges against her, apology for the outrage, an acknowledgement of a reasonable claim for damages and a royal salute to the French flag The Spanish authorities were given just six hours in which to do all this, and in the meantime the French warship cleared for action. Before the expiration of the third hour the prisoner was released, and before she reached her home the royal salute to the French flag was fired, This is a vigorous foreign policy with vengeance. If Consul Gen. eral Lee was backed up by an American warship in the harbor ol Havana, Spain would more readily comply with the demands Of this Government.

ed in the National election of that year by the Republicans because of the dissentions in Democratic ranks. In 1892 the Democrats were without Q strong leader The politicians were bitterly opposed to the re nomination of Cleveland, but he held the condolences Of the common masses aud at last the politicians were set aside, the voice of the people was heard, and Mr. Cleve. land was triamphantly renominated and elected. But no sooner had he assumed the reins of government than his old enemies, the spoils- seekers, the politicians, the dema gogues and disruptionists, began their captious opposition to his ad- maistration with the result that he was made the target at which every lanceof envy, jealousy and hatred was hurled; that ingenuity could devise and hatred conceive His cabinet advisers, who had long been the leaders Of the Democratic hosts and who had led the party from overwhelming defeat to victory, and who had led it out of the wilderness Chat followed the war, were also made parties to this abuse and vituperation This led to a dis sension in the party which resulted in it's overwhelming defeat in 1896.
 When history comes to be written in the future, when the hatreds and prejudices of the present are forgot ton and his administration comes to be measured and summed up, we believe the impartial historian will set down Mir Cleveland as one of the eountrys greatest Presidents. True, he has been conservative, and it is conservatism that has caused much of the discontent; but in these changing and trying times, when the world seems to be passing through period of transition, con- seryatlsm is what is most needed.
 The really dark spot upon MT Cleveland's administration has been it's toadying policy during it's dying days to the Spanish government in relation to Cuba.
 It's policy in dealing with Spain and its failure to protect Americans in Cuba has been characterized by a dafiauce and timidity that is humil- iating to the American spirit and has brought this nation in disrepute among the nations of the earth. Mir Cleveland is one who evidently believes in the established order of things, which is clearly manifested by his dealings with Hawaii and Spain, and in this respect his con- seryatism has been carried to an extreme. It was no doubt the same motives that led to the ar bitration treaty with England, which is one of greatest achieve ments of the century in information al polity, and which, in measure, will compensate for the inglorious foreign policy of the late admins tration in dealing with Spain
 But it is as a whole that MT. Gleveland's administration will be reviewed by the historian, and when the balance sheet is struck, we be- lieve that it will be found that this country is all the better from the fact that Grover Cleveland has been at the head of it.
