English Comment. ‘The opinions of the leading newspapers of London on the action of the senate in passing the retaliatory bill are on the whole in a friendly and conciliatory spint. Generally they appear not to have taken seriously the rather caustic denuneiation of England by certain senators, and pro- fess to believe that such views do not voice the general sentiment of the Ameri- can people.

During all the time which this dispute has been pending Ca- nadian vessels have enjoyed all the privi- leges in the ports of the United States of the vessels of the most favored nations. They have had the full benefits of our markets unhindered and unquestioned. American vessels have been annoyed and harrassed on the sea, seized for alleged violations of law, and brutally excluded from the ports of the Dominion whe secking necessary supplics in pursuance of treaty rights, but the Dominion skip- monopolists are shriecking 1 loud mouthed ccstacy over Van Wyck's de- feat as another expression of western sentiment against tariff reform. It is of course needless to say that discussion of the subject never entered the contest. Van Wyck’s opposition to an iniquitous tariff was not what defeated him. Oppo- Bition to the robbery of the people by cor- porate monopolies had everything to do with the result.

He was reported to be in good health, lis step firm, and every physical vigorous as over, more earnest by reason of atemporary reverse and with a daily increasing following at his back which will make itself felt when the time comes in planting the people’s standard on the ramparts of monopoly.

This meesure 18 described as the conspiracy bill, and to give it an appear- ance of fairness it is to be applicable to England and Scotland as well as [reland. It will of course encounter the vigorous opposition of the Gladstonians and na- tionalists, and 1t is said that even union- ists like Chamberlain are anything but warm in its favor. An abundant supply of motiags of censure on the government, for which there is no lack of reasons, is established principles of the comity of nations, and the reciproeal legislation of the United States and Great Britain, all American vessels having permits to touch and trade are entitled to ordinary com- mercial privileges, without referenca to the fact that they may be engaged in fishing outside of the exclusive jurisdie- tion of the British Dominion, ‘I'his clear and reasonable ground, perfeetly m ae cord with established principles and prac- tiee, the United States insists that Canada shall recognize.

Philadelyhia Record, The democrats of the Nebraska legislature might have taken a hint from the wise action of the demoeratic members of the Massa- chusetts Jegislature and have broken the sen- atorial dead-lock by the sclection of the least objectionable among the republican candi- dates. Loy nad the greater reason for this course beeanse the voto of the people had demonstrated that Scnator Van Wyck was the popular chofee, His defeat by so incon- siderable a person as Mr. Paddock is a mat- ter of regret.

Brown to the Editor of the Herala Onata, Jan. 26.~Tothe Editor of the Zicrald: 1 read the telegraphic dispatch from Lincoln, signed by F. R, M., which appeared in your paper of the 21, In this dispateh—presumably from the associate editor—you apply to five-sixths of the democratic members of the legislature the epithets “chumps,” *“purblind fools,” and “'strumpets,”” and to demo- crats, not members of the legislature the i these epithet “*pim Assuming that words being in a message od late at night and in the absence of one of the proprictors of the paper, Mr. Rich ardson —W surreptitiously printed I con- cluded not to notice them; but when in the next day’s issue of your paper, I ob- served that the whole editorial space was given to abuse and vilification, in coars- est yulgarity, of five-sixths of the demo- cratic legislators and to full that propor- tion of democratsin the state I deemed it most appropriate to protest publicly s gross injustice a1 open ness. Such par l’\’ Journahism can s properly reprehended with any words at my command. I leave the Herald to wallow in its own filth. These legislators and other democrats— omitting myself-are the peers, at the least, of any man nected with the Herald, That they differed with it on the question under the eircumstances, what was best for them to do in the selection of United States senator, is, inmy humble opinion, no just cause; guve no ground for the vile ealumny you have heaped upon them. In" ‘any light your course is andefensible.” Diflerence of opinion, and with right of action upon it, is to be expected, and no man can stand rightly condemned for exercising his right to think and act in harmony with his thoughts, especially when in a re- presentative cabacity on any given ques- tion he voices the wishes of the people whom he represents Let us luu‘: at the justice of your foul aspersions. You favored a caucus system and advocated that the demoerats should act as an unit; of course a large ma- Jority of the caucus was to delermine what that united action should be. Your ce was followed, and when two s out of the eight bolted the ision, you defended and laud them to the skies, and by so doing you censured and endeavored to cast obliguy rec on the remaining si This demon- strated the sincerity you had and counseled in the unity and binding foree of eaucus.
