Ambassador Bayard.

A farewell banquet attended by the
Prime Minister of England, the Loru
NIayor of London, many famous peers
of the realm and more than 900 other
peers in the realms of art and litera-
ture was given on Tuesday evening in
the Mansion house to Ambassador Bay
ard. The function, as elaborately de-
scribed in the metropolitan press, IS
pronounced zone of the finest compll-
ments ever paid to an American citi-
zen outside his own country" and, as
usual. Mr.. Bayard acknowledged it in
a speech "surcharged with emotion
He believed, he said, that he was
chosen four years ago by a patriotic
executive to portray what ought to be
the proper relations between the Uni
ted States and Great Britain. His best
energies had been directed to the fulfil
ment of his trust. Continuing, Mr..
Bayard said he declared, in the pres
ence of those who We're perfectly able
to contradict him, that there was not
question between the people of the
United States and Great Britain that
justified a serious controversy of any
kind He could not see a question of
international danger or difficulty so
long as the natural impulses of the two
nations We're not soured and perverted.
1t was to prevent such souring and per-
version that he had come to England,
and he mad labored continually toward
this end The ambassador, we are told,
referred apprecatively to the Anglo
American arbitration treaty, and said
that unexpected causes might for a
time prevent the acceptance of the
treaty but he could not doubt but that
| the arrangement would be ultimately
made" The reply of Lord Salisbury
| took the form of a tribute to Mr.. Bay
| ards interchangeable zeal in teaching
| the two nations 10 know each other,
and in moulding them in a common
| blessed form"
All this is very interesting and also
very gratifying. Because Americans
| as a rule are jealous Of their own
nations interests and do not value at
! par every diplomatic bit of taffy given
| to them by Englishnen in official life
| it is not to be supposed that they are
churlish in mood toward their British
cousins or that they banker after war
| The mistake Ambassador Bayard has
made is in taking too fearful a view
of the subject. There is no occasion
for weeping. All is we'll.

But ne'er did he from stupefaction

He might have done so if he had the

ducks.
Poor bleeding Cuba raised a piteous cry
He never heard it-he had swelled too
high
And life to him was e'er one grand,

He made 1t solo, and he sang ii strong,
The country OH, how sweet its raptures
ring!
Don't mention it to him, just let him

Sing on, thou Baby Boy from Buzzard's

Sing! my big basso, bang and boom and

Sorry are we to trouble you at all,

Grand Words.

These timely and fCrceful words were
spoken by Senator John Sherman at the
Cochran hotel in Washington on Mon
day evening, the occasion being ulil-
ner given in his honor by the oillo
delegation in congress:
"phe new administration intends TO
protect our citizens wherever they ma!
be--on land or on sea. rms carries
with it no prejudice against other ma
tions. but the protection of our own. L
believe the time is not far distant
when we will see a republican form Oh
government in every country of the
western hemisphere. If England had
pursued the same policy toward the
original thirteen colonies she has since
adopted toward Canada, there would
have been no revolutionary war But
/ thank God for the folly and blindness
of England which drove our forefathers
to revolt. l even go so far as to predict
the same thing of the continent of
Europe. | believe the time is not very
far distant when the leading nations
of Europe will all follow the lead of
France in the adoption Of popular gov
ernment.'
These are the words of an American
who believes in his country and it's in
stitutions, and who does not propose
that It shall overstep its Just obliga-
tions in order to enter into partner
ship with rotten monarchy anywhere
on earth. This message carries hope
to Cuba as it must carry CONSERVATION
to the royalst intriguers of the Ha-
Waiian islands. 1t is platform that if
executed judiciously, will insure for the
American state department during the
next four years the fullest confidence
and the pride of the whole American
people

THE BETTER PLAN.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
A device has been patented for picking
up live wires. 1t consists of two levers
made of nonconducting material and pi-
voted near one end, with which the wire
can be grasped without communicating
the fatal current through the hands. II
you don't happen to have pair of nom
electric tongs the safest course is to let
the live wire lie.
