Lord Sackville-West is dead. In this
he is almost forgotten, and yet
Il is due 20 him that Washington stands
Dn the highest plane automatically to-
day. Up to the time that he was polite
y fired from the British Embassy iy
Mr.. Cleveland, then President, the
court of Washington. was not much
thought of in diplomatic circles. The
story of Lord Sackville's fiasco was no.
lit1cal pabulum for many a long day.
one Murchison wrote from California
10 the British Minister in this city, stat
Ing that he was of English birth and
with his mother country,
and desired to know whether it would
be best for Great Britain to have Cleve-
and reelected, with his free-trade
tendencies, than to have Republican
President and party committed to pro-
tective tariff. The letter afterward
proved to be merely political trap set
Tor the British Minister, but he fell into
t. and replied that CleveIand's election
would better>serve the interests of their
common country.
The correspondence was at once pub
ished in the Los Angeles Times, and
oade fair to stampede the Democrats in
their campaign, as 1t gave approval to
statements that were being made on the
stump by Republican orators.
Mr.. Cleveland promptly demanded of
Great Britain the recall of its Minister
and the demand was at once acceded to-
%s
Mr.. Cleyeland's decided stand In the
matter made the world sit up and take
notice, and from that day to this Wash
ngton has been one of the diplomatic
centers to consult first hand at all
lines.
