TIE TINES Embossed.

In the general. excited and foolish talk
Of the American newspapers and poll
ticians over the DeLome incident IT is
truly gratifying to The Times to find the
grave and conservative weekly newspa-
pers Of England t1 king exactly the same
view Of the matter that Tho Times took
There are nowhere in the world any cur
rent publications 50 just and conservative
as the hrst-class weekly newspapers Of
England, like tho Statist. the saturday
Review. the Spectator and others, and
the newspapers anywhere that finds itself
in line Of thought with the whole body
Of them on serious public questions, may
properly feel quite sure Of It's conserya-
tism and spirit Of justice
We printed yesterday what several Of
the English weeklies had TO say OF this
affair. but they will bear reproduction:
The Spectator says: III President
Mckinley were wise. he would have
promptly declared that he would not pay
any attention whatever to "a purloined
private letter. however genuine. Presi-
dent Mckinley should have publicly called
on DdLOme and informed him that he did
not need his assurance that the letter
was a forgery. the bad taste and
vulgauty of the language being ample
proof OF the fact IL he had had the
nerve or wisdom TO do that. he would
have immensely raised his prestige both
abroad and in his own country.
AT the same time one cannot be sur
prised that the United States failed to
treat the letter with the contempt Il
merited. We 90 not for a moment sug-
gest that the Executive failed TO ignore
It beause ii was ignorant Of diplomatic
usage. or because II was not sufficiently
good 10 be self-restrained un-
der provocation. The Americans are as
good as other people. and their
political officials are perfectly well aware
how Lord Salisbury or NJ. Hanateaux
would have disposed OF such a matter,
aud how President Lincoln would have
treated st. II is not lack Of manners or
traditions which made the United states
Government take the incident too Sc
riouly. but rather want Of frmness,

auittal OF NJ. zoia). may declare that the
Republic Is failure and that their ef-
forts under such a rule TO maintain tho
honor OF France are futile. and that the
army Is only justly esteemed by emper-
ors.
The drama so often played by the Ro-
man Proiorian guard and the Turkish
Janizarries. and once by even English
General Monk. might be re-enacted in
France and Bonaparto or a Bourbon be
ro-ostablished upon the French throne.
TO accomplish this would cause the
least difficulty to the French generals,
and the one who would be able TO take
the first step might become a man OF the
distinction which no doubt Boulanger
desired 60 achieve.
This we believe IS the real trouble in
France to-day.

EX-PREsIDENT HARRISON on MIR.
LINCOLN.

The birthday of Abraham Lincoln was
more generally celebrated. and with more
that was imposing this time than
It has ever been. We are glad
Of this and we hope the oc-
caslon may grow I'm Importance as time
progresses. MT. Lincoln was good
man. a just man ana great man, but
pre-eminenuy he was the representative
of robust Americanism, ntainted by any
of the vicious tendencies so liable TO Turk
In the character Of men reared under
monarchical institutions.
We read the speech made by cx-Presi-
dent Harrison at the Marquette club
banquet i'm Chicago, with especial interest
We can heartily endorse all that Mr. Har-
rison said of Lincoln, but we cannot help
inquiring why ne should have made II
an occasion TO make a fling at the South.
Mr.. Harrison said, amongst other things:
In the broad. common-sense way 30
which he did small things. ne was larger
than any situation in which life had
placed him. Europe did not know him
TO the South. ami TO not a few In the
Northern States. he was an uncouth Jes-
ter an ambitious upstart, a reckless dis
turber He was hated by the South, not
only for his principles. bat for himself.
Tho son Of q cavalier. the man who felt
IL 10 be a stain. despised this son OF the
people, this child of toll
M Lincoln was undoubtedly hated at
the South while the war was red-handed,
but so was every man upon the Union
side OF that contest When men are in
death struggle, eoch endeavoring to slay
as many of the adversaries as he can,
reson is deposed and passion alone holds
sway. The Southern people hated Mr..
Lincoln during the war; As one enemy
always hates another. But the South
has long ago learned TO accord Mr. Lin
coin the most sincere admiration and
even affection. II long ago learned
that he was the best friend Of the South
when the war was over that tho North
contained, and that if he had not been
struck down by the assassins bullet he
would have used all his power 10 save
her from the humiliations and robberies
Of the reconstruction era.
Mr. Harrison is wholly mistaken when
he supposes that the descendant OF the
cavalier hates the self-made man who
rises from tie obscure ranks Of the peo-
pie by force Of his own talents and
character We know no place where
merit is given a moro cheerful recogni-
ton than in Virginia, in whatever sphere
OF life 81 is found, and we do not believe
there is one Nirgnian in one hundred
who would refuse recognition TO brains
and character because their possessor
was sprung from an obscure origin. Mr.
Harrison has always, since the war. ex-
hibited most unreasonable prejudice
against the South and Southern people
but we see no reason why he should allow
his prejudices against them to poison his
mind against the descendants Of the cava-
liers. Mr.. Harrison Is not descended from
the cavaliers In the strict sense Of the
word, since his ancestor. butcher Harri-
son, was one of the judges who SEN
fenced King Charles, chief OF the cava-
hers, 10 death. But the descendants OF

DR.. McGifrert Conte Dis That the Lord

Rev. Or. Arthur c. McGinert. profess
sor OF Church History In Union Theolo-

charge OF heresy. The New York Sun
Of Monday says many parts Of the book.
"A History Of Christianity I'm the Apos-
tolic Age" are attacked, but the sec
lions that are urged upon which 10 base
a trial for heresy are found on pages az
and 20. These passages, It would seem
are directly IN conflict with the Larger
Catechlsm. They refer 20 the Lord 5
Supper and it's authority and affirm that
Il has. and was intended by Christ 70
have no paschal significance whatever.
that Il was a mere social meal on the
night on which Christ was betrayed and
