General Boulanger Joins the Proces sion and Issues a Manifesto— The Sultan of 7Turkey in a Very Bad Way. Viewed at a Distance. | Copyright 1887 by James Gordon Bennet') LoxpoN, Sept. 19.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bre.]—To-day's English press—provincial as well as metro- politan—is mainly devoted to news accounts of the centennial celebration at Philadelphia and the comments ot these vary from the facetious to the profound. For instance, the Globe, praising the president for being “genuinely eloquent,” says: “A hug and a kiss from an enthusiastic woman, who, to Mrs, Cleveland’s satisfaction, kissed him only on the chin, seemed to have inspired him.”” The Times, however, treats the occasion with most thouehtful anddignified attention, After surrendering three columns to a sketch of Philadelphia in the series contributed by Jolin Hollingshead, and a half column of the best extracts from the president’s address, 1t editorially comments at much length. These bezin with the text: *No more cogent proof could have been produced of the strenzth of the bonds constructed a hundred years ago thaniit should have survived the tenmsion of war successfully,” The Times then remarks that ‘“I'he wonder of the American ecivil war is that it marks a development not agrevolu- tion,” and the *“present festival awakened as fervent sympathy among utherners as among northerners. A president elevated to power by the votes of a hundred thousand ancient rebels has been representing the loyalty of the entire American people to a system which a multitude of his suoporters did their best to subvert.” ‘The Times next Rives statisties of tha civil war in a number of battles and tho losses on both sides, claiming an these, however, that “No expenditure of life could have been culpably profuse which was nezdtul for theresult accomplished, although the a:gregate misery inflicted by the war on the combatants swells to most portentious dimensions.”” The Times concludes thus: *“The demeanor of the American nation as a whole, justities the sacrifices which the whole offered. The sentiment throughout the republic regardinge the occasion of last week’s anniversary I8 the apology for the tremendous butcher’s bill on both sides. No war in the annals of history was waged with more iron obstinacy or a war 8o relentlessly murderous inits operations, Neither has any ever left behind it on the whole less rancour aud vindictive- ness, so that the American constitution may claim the merit as it Is willing to bear the burden.
