WARNED BY WEST'S MISTAKE Forelgn Diplomats Refuse to Com- ment on Cleveland's Action. THE PRESS NOT SO RETICENT. English Journals While They Con- cede Lord Sackville's Indiscretion Think the President Not Justi- fied in Dismissing Him, Diplomatic Oysters. [Copyright 1555 by James tordon. Bennstt.) Loswox, Oct. w York Herald Cable—Special to Tur B, |~ have traveled around town along mile visiting and calling peoy but not one among the lot could I find who considered that Lord Sackville had been anything but indiscreet, or who did not thiuk Cleveland in the wrone. It would pain his exceliency Lord Sackville, if I were to repeat some marks made about him by men who do not use strong terms without good reason. The very strong impression I carried to the Her ald bureau after the evening's investigation was that whatever Lord Sackville may please to do his colleagues here are not given to airing their opinions upon American politics or pending diplomatic dificulties, Sir Julian Poncefort, the parmanent secre tary of the forcign oflice was found at his residence. He was equally mum and in deed I may say that all the diplomats looked thoroughly surprised when asked for an opinion. They one and all seemed taken aback at anyone coming to them to ask an opinion upon a political question stlll under discussion. Doubtless they putit down to the Horald and Yankee enterprise, but never- theless they raised their oyebrows in sur- 1an n eminent people, ed as such excecding gave it to be understood that “we of the diplomatic service do not talk at random. We consider silence golden.” Said one at the foreign office: “We never Pave views here. If you want to know hat the opinion is I would advise ou visit the ciubs. I followed his advice. !h‘ was right. Opinion ran high and strong ot all the principal clubs, both against I dent Cleveland and Sackville's indiscretion. Tho objurgations on President Cleveland in the papers and the resentment expressed have got largely into the clubs. General ,and ac friend of the Prince of Wales, who refused to intervicwed on the subject at Salisbury club, however said: “But you may say this it 1s the general opinion in our set that, while Sackville made an awful blunde Mr. Cleveland has acted i very arbitr; manuer, and now the question is shall we send any one in his place at all.” The silence of the foreign ofticer when again visited to- day was remarkable. Sackville may write letters and mark them *‘private” to a man he don’t know and has no privacy with, but his chiefs have been taught by s example. In vain was Lord Salisbury and his secre- tary, Bernard Eric Barrington, shown what noither yet knew of but hud been cabled en- tire to the Paris edition of the Herald, Bay- ard's full reports. e be the OPINION IN PARIS, Mr. McLane Declines to Express Hir self—Views of Two Journalists. [Copyright 1883 by James Gordon. Bennett.] Pawis, Oct. 81.—[New York Herald Cable —Soecial to Tur Bee.]—1 met M. Blowitz to-night at the Comedie Francaise, looking stout and radiant as usual. I asked bim what he thought of Cleveland summarily dismissing Sackville. He said Cleveland, by intimating directly to the minister of a for- eign power that his presence was no longer desired, exceeded all precedents and did ‘what a sovercign ought not to do. *Of course,” said M. Blowitz, “everybody knows that the country is in the throes of the elections, and Europe is ready to show the greatest complacency and patience towards any little diplomatic faux pas that may be made on the other side of the Atlantic. Of course Sackville was very imprudent in wixing himself in the local politics of the country to which he was accredited.” Talso met at the Comedie Francaise M. Henri Rochefort, who said: “Cleveland was quite right in turning out Sackville, who was guilty of a terrible blunder in getting into such a scrape, which, for a diplomat, was un- pardonable. I don't hold a very high opinion of diplomatists. I think them all a useless cx- pense in these days of cables, telegraphs and telophones. But their business is to make dupes of other people, not to be mado dupes of themselves. Sackville made a terrible blunder, but Cleveland judiciously made use of Sackville, thereby making a coup de grace to his diplomatic career.” Hero the curtain for the third act went up sad the conversation closed. The Sackville incident, while 1t has aroused the groatest interest among Amer- fcan and English ofticials in Paris, has had the natural effect of making them very re- servod in expressing any opinion about the matter. Minister McLane was secn at the legation this morning by a Herald corre- spondent. *As to my making comment on President Cleveland's action in this matter,” said he, that is evidently fmpossible. I should be as unwise #s Lord Sackville himself, and I certainly have no ambition for that distinc- tion. Lhave read the long dispatch on this subject published in to-day’s Herald, and in reading between its lines I have arrived at a definite conclusion. It is very plan that after tho publication of Lord Sackvilie's let- ter and the uproar produced by it President Cleveland informed Lord Salisbury that it would be desirable to send another English minister to Washington. The British pre- mier seems to have been disposed to admit the fault committed by the queen’s representative and to have been quite ready to apologize for it or make any possi- ble reparation except to recall Lord Sack- ville. That he was evidently not ready to do, but that was exactly what President Cleveland considered necessary to be done, and to be done promptly. Only a week re- mained before the election, and a week can ip away very easily in diplomatic inactiv- ty. Energotic action had to be taken. That, to my mind, is what led to the message writ- ten by Secretary Bayard and printed in the Herald of to-day. “You ask me whether I approve of this message or not—whether or not 1 think it well timed and consistent with the usa ges of anternational courtesy. 1 reply most em- phatically that I have nothing to say. I think I understand Mr. Cleveland's course, but I certainly do not propose to criticise it Lord Sackville did not think such resorve necessary. He mnot only saw @t to analyze the policy and motives which had animated the president in writing the message to congress, but after he had finished he added that in spite of anything e considered Mr. Cleveland as a better man than Mr. Harrison, In this way he suc ceaded in alienating both parties. Why he did it is very much more than I can explain All that I know is that I have mo intention of downg likewise.” o —— THE SACKVILLE INCIDEN Comment by English and Canadian Newspapers. LoxDoy, Oct. 81.—The Pall Mall Gazette says: If Secretary Bayard's rebuke of Lord Backville fails to convince the Irish voters fbat President Cleveland cau be relied uvon to check John Bull .as. much as any other man, we do not see what thero is loft for him t0.do short of placing Lord Sackville under arrest and escorting him to the front How silly it all How the, A cans will despise themselves for it when the Suppose that Minister Phelps had written aprivate letter 1o soime ido American during th tion-in k saying that although Mr. Glads seemed to be more in ord an principles yet Lord Salisbury rusted to concede all the Irish Dods the most excited Amerioan imagine that we shouid have taken notice of his in diseretion { The St. James Gozette says: -As I Sackville is toechnically in_the wrong, Enj. land cannot resent the affront which Bayard has put upon it by declaring that he cannot continue to hold communication with Lord Sackville, Enelishmen can only pity the American statosmen from the strange things they do in order to oblige caucusses, The Globe says: The uncourteons an nouncement might created very strained re- lations between the two counirics.

Conflicting Reports on the Wreck of the Czar's Train. v. Perenssurg, Oct. 81—The offic statement regarding the accident which h pened to the czar's train Monday states that the train containing the czar and czarina and suite, while passing through a deep gorge near Borki, left the rails, At the time of the ac- cident the czarand czarina were in the sa- loon carriage at breakfast. When the first carriage left the track the rear car of the train oscillated and the preceding carriage recled over. The saloon carriage, although remaining_on the tracks, was badly shat- tered. The roof fell in, but rested on a portion of the side, thus form- ing a shield for the occupants. The czar and his family were taken from the debris uniiurt. Some of the other occupants of the train rcceived slight contusions. The only one severely injured was General Scheremetiell, aide-de-camp of the czar. The Grashdauiu contradicts the ofticial revort of the accident in regard to the casualtics. It affirms that twenty persons wero killed, in- cluding Captain Breseh, staff courier, three couricrs and eight soldiers of the railwa, battalion. It also says that eighteen others were injured. The weather was very stormy at the time of the accident, but despite tho fact that a heavy rain was falling and that the ground was slippery the czar stayed on the spot and assisted in the removal of the dead and in- He did uot enter the reserve train until the last of the injured had been placed in the ambulance. An examination will explain the cause of the accident, but the idea that it was due to malicious designs upon the emperor's life may be considered quite out of the question. — FORT « NOTES, Monthly muster took place yesterday. After the troops were marched in review they were inspected by General Wheaton and stafl. It is rumored that the “Soldiers' Canteen," an establishment whero the men got lunches and liquor. is to be closed. The saloonkeep- ers outside of the fort aro much worked up over this rumor, for the Cantoen takes the greater portion of the soldier trade. It has been so arranged that the men can obtain checks upon the Canteen and have the amount deducted from their next month’s pay, which accommodation_seems to suit the men. The receipts are divided up among the companies and devoted to table purposes, thus giving the e some reburn {or trading there. Republican Campaign Rally. The largest and most enthusiastic political meeting ever held in South Omaha was the republican meeting held in Hunt's opera house Tuesday night. The Union Stock Yards Cornet band furnished excellent music, and before President Anderson called the meoting 10 order every scat in the house was_occupied. Addresses were made by candidates Richard S. Berlin, on_the repub- lican and union labor ticket, and E. Gilmore, Colonel E. P. Savage, candidate for stato senator, John R. Grice, Atiorney Ciurchiil of Omaha, Governor John M. Thayer and John L. Webster. The Glee club rendered amusing songs between each of the ad- dresses. ey Gored by a Wild Cow. An infuriated cow rushed at D. R. Scott, while in one of the stock yards pens yester- day, catching him on the horns, teariug open the scrotum about three inches and bruising him in the groin and other places. He was thrown in_oneof the troughs, which saved nim from being gored to death. The wild beast then madly rushed at John Haverfield, hooking and butting him some distance along the driveway. He received a cut on the left hand and bruises ou the legs and buttocks. Another Haytien Seizure.

And 1 say that for four years I have scon Grover Cloveland almost daily, and _sometimes nightly as well, and I never saw him when I belioved his mind_and his heart were free from care for the best interests of the entire American people. He has honored me with his confidence, and 1 have learned to honor hitn as 1 know the socrets of his heart. [Ap- plause.] Believe me, therefore, my friends and countrymen, when I tell you that this man has had duty for his watchword, truth for his password and integrity for his count- ersign. Here | say that when that man shall lay down the duty towhich the American peo- pie have calied him, no matter when it may be, on the 4th day of next March or on the 4th of March, 1873, he will leave the oftice and its powers as pure and as free from cor- ruption as the snow upon mouutain top: He will leave that great ofiice unsnorn of any feature of its dignity or its prerogatives, and hand it back safe, whole, sound and pure to whoever may be called to take it up or be chosen to follow him. Believe me, the task of administration for the last three years has been no_holiday pas- time. It has been a hard und flinty hill up which Grover Cleveland has toiled, but, thank God, the light of the coming sun wel® comes him'now. Look everywhere and you find Americans liko brothers, arrayed in the services of this union under a democratic ad- ministration.

Not only respected and honored by the southern people, but honored. respected and trusted wheréver, throughout this union, the name of Lawmar was heard. Now I speak of that department through which his confidence has been_submitted to me—that of the foreign relations of this great republic, state in the union but has its representative in the foreign servieo of the United States, [Ap- plause]. There are men in the diplomatic service who served as eallantly under the flag of the union as any whose names can be mentioned, and others who served with equal conscientiousness and valor and devotion under the flag of the late confederacy. But it is proof of the success of the war that a more perfect union has been first established by tho election of & democratic president. Now, wentlemen, I havo said much of the man, now what is his advice, or what aro the principles upon which he asks you to decide the coming election! After he had obtained Lionest agents to collect the reveuues, the revenucs were honestly coiloeted, and’ not before. It took some time to vindicate the results of an economic_outlay coupled with an honest collection. In the spring of 1855 a cloud was hovering over the financial horizon that threatencd disaster. Thanks to the measures of Daniel Manning, means were found to stave off and prevent the dificulties that threatened us. A surplus of upwards of 100,000,000 was lying idle_in the treasury. The'country was in want of money, and owing to the conditiou of taxation and the honesty of its collection §10,000,000 a month were pouring in without a prospect of ever Doing relonsed again for public use. Such was the state of affairs when I well remember it was just touch and go whether the president would not be obliged to sum- mon congress Instantly for the purpose of preventing by legislative remedy the evils that then were feared, but by anticipating a vortion of the siuking'fund, and_other meth- ods which I shall not pretend to describe to you, the emergency and critical period was tided over. Instead he laid before you a message in which thore is not a doubtful word. It pointed out that thero must be legislation in order t get rid of the surplus. Need I show to you the dangersof a surplusi The depletion of the circulation of the coun- try from the arteries and veins that it was intended to nourish and support, the menace the virtue of legisiators and people, now did he purpose to remedy. Thercfore, he said, at once give the peoplo the necessaries of 1ifo as cheaply as you can. Go to_your free list in your tariff.” Strike down that_siily bar- rier that keeps your workmen idle at home and protects their competitors in forcign markets, Now here is a fact, my count men. The wall of the tariff that keeps cominodities out keeps magufacturers within, and when they tell you that they raise a high tariff upon raw material for the pro- tection of American workmen, answer that they protect his rivals in every market but that of the United States. He dwelt on other phases of the tarift question, and cited incidents to prove that protection does not protect labor, and con. cluded by a reference to the Sackville inci- dent as follows: Gentlemen, there are political birds of prey that fatten and rejoice over the carcass of dead and exposed slanders and falsehood: This country has been the witness in the las week of an interruption, for a time being only, of its relations with a foreign and friendly power. It was made necessary, The act was not the act of the people of the United States, orof any one in sympathy with thent or with their interests. It was tho wretched plot of despairing politicians. [Great applause and cheers.] A conspiracy of despairing politicians to bring discredit upon @ class of our adopted citi- zens for the purpose of croating un- just prejudicc in the minds of an- other cluss of our adopted oitizons=a slander upon the one and a foul attempt to mislcad the other. It cannot be defended, for you cannot divorco political morality from personal morality. Thero are weapons of civilized warfare, and there are weapons denied by civilized warfaro, and the man that_would coin a lio to defeat a political opponent would poison the well of his enemy in the time of war, and slaughtor his wife and his childron. Now, against this 1 call upon the honest sentiment of every American citizen to resent the insult thus offered to our country by these persons. What have you to say of the men who in public specches will gloat and cheer and clap their hands over the proof of infamy, committed for the sake of political supremacy! The whole civilized world shudders with the excess of the French revolution, for France grew drunk with blood to vomit crime, and in those days when men's minds were' frenzied, prostitu- tion was worshipped in the name of the god- dess of reason. I ask you, is there not @ prostitution of the name of an honest people, and shall men be found in this country so base and 80 poor as to welcome that which brings shame upon ame of American politics?

To restore the lost art of log cabin healing has been for years the desire of a well-known philanthro- pist in whose ancestral line were eight goodly physicians” of the old style, men wito never saw a medical collego save in the woods, nor a ‘“‘medical di- ploma” except that inscribed on the aces of healthy and long-lived pa tients. Much time and money was ex- pended in sccuring the old formule, which to-day are put forth as “Log abin remedies, " —sarsaparilla, hops and buchu, cough and consump- tion, and several others, by War- ner, whose name is famous, and a standard for medical excellence all over the globe. These oldest, newest and Dest preparations have been recognized of such superexcellence that to-day they can be found with all leading dealers. When Col. Ethan Allen was making history along our northern frontier dur- ing the revolution, Col. Seth Warner, the fighting Sheridan of that army, who was a skillful natural doctor, used many such remedies, notably like the Log Cabin extract, sarsaparilla and cough and consumption remedy, among the soldiers with famous success. They are a notable inheritance which we of to-day may enjoy to the full, as did our forefathers, and using, reap. did they, the harvest of a life full of days and full of usefullness. ———— Topeka Papers Consolidate.

The Present Administration Vigor ously Arraigned for lts Weak ness and Donble-Dealing— A Good Platform, Why a Change is Needed New Youk, Oct [Special Telegram to Tue Bee.) —Last ovening the following letter from Senator George F. Edamunds to Charles A. Dana was received at the New York Sun office. The letter, which explains itself, is given below Wasiisaroy, D, €, Oct. 30, 1888, Dear Mr. Dana: L obsorve in the Sun of the <sth A statement with conspicuous head lines to the effect that I am taking no speech-mak ing part in the present campaign, and that attention bas been called to the' fact. The matter is so stated as to permit the inference that L am not carnestly interested in the elec: tion of Geacral Havrison., Ibeg you, as a fair minded lover of fair play and editor of the principal really democratic newspaper, to allow me to repel through your columus any such implication. Tam, and have been ever since the uomnation of (¢ Harrison, most earnestly and, accord strength and capacity, actively in favo election, because 1. 1 personall, ay s, of pur most vigorous and indopenden oral know him to be of great and upright life, and of nd aggressive uprightness both as a man and repub lican, and 1 therefore believe he will ad winster the government in the full vigor of the principles of the republican party 2. He was a_gallant soldier, his flashing sword in the front of the battle, and in the gloomy rear of the retreat was heard his voice of constuncy and of courage. 3. He is of the people and for the people, a defender of justice and of equal rights for all. i, He isa s belicver in tho employ ment of Am an labor to supply American production for American consumption 5. He is not a vietim of the delusion that af fects the present administration that customs duties are a tax on the consumers of imported goods, and ho knows that the official and printed records of the government show, as 1 the case of tea and coffee put on the free list some years ago, aud in_the caso of the so-called reciprocity with Canada, that the duties taken off of such importations did not benctit our people by diminishing the prico they paid for their purchases, but did bene- it the foreigner ouly 6. He knows that every foreign-made arti ! cle, from shoe-pegs and shoes to locomotives and ships used in our country, by just that much d s the American worker of the opportunity to earn for his family 7. He knows that the nation is only a large family, the members of which are bound to help each other by umited und reciprocal labor. 5. I1e knows, therefore, that tion of the president in his message to con- gress that customs duties purely and wholly a tax, is a grave error, and that to Hive American labor the opportunity to win bread Americans must, as - brothers in one family, employ the labor aud use the products of cach othier. 9. He will not, as the prosent administra- tion has done, enter into discussions and ar guuwents with England in regard to so-called free trade with Canada and the putting of any Awericans on a worse footing in British ports than the British have in our own. 10. He will not even for one day tolerate the ofticial proseuce of a foreign” minister, from whatever country hie comes, who un- dertakes to interfere in ourelections, even if that minister favors Lis election, nor will his party work to the advantage of that min ister's country, as the present administration has done 11. He will not make professions of fi delity to the principles of true civil service reform a cover for receiving and refusing to ke public, or even refusing to communi- cate to the ‘senate, aflidavits or other testi- meny (often perjured) against any holder of any office, as the present administration has always done. 12, He will not select to execute offices of public trust a larger proportion of criminal, disreputable and incompetent persons than have been so selected by all the administra- tions added togather of the hundred years of existence of this goverrment, asthis adminis- tration has done. 18. He will not point out to his count men the dangers to free elections und to'a really democratic government (dangerous as it really is) of the president being naidate for re-election on account of his immense power of patronage, and then pe mit all his chicf officers and thewr sube nates to becomes offensive partisans and o hibit pernicious activity in promoting his ro. election; nor will he allow heavy levies of money to be made upon all, even the humblest of the servants ef the government, to accom plish it, as the present administration has done and is doing. These, dear Mr. Dana, are some (by no means all) of the grounds on which, with my whole heart, I desiro the clection of General Harrison, and may I not be sure that your seuse of fair play, since you_have made me conspicuous in tho matter, will lead you to give this letter the prominence in your paper that you give to the imputation to which I replyt Yours trul, Gronar' F. Epyusps, the dec di Cleveland & Harrison agrec on one point, that the best out is Jarvis' old Brandy. RN A DARING ROBBERY, A Mexican Central Train Held Up By Three M Ern Paso, Tex., Oct. 81.—The Mexican Central passenger train due hera at 7:25 this morning was held up sixty-two miles below El Paso at 4:30 v norning by three masked men. They came on the engine tender aud at the point of asix shooter forced the engincer and fireman to stop the train and get off. They divided the train and left the passenger cars and ran on six miles, when they again stopped and robbed the express car, getting over $2,000. Ex- press Messenger M. I Villegas jumped out of the ear at the side door while the robbe were breaking the end door and ran off the darkness with the keys to the safe, thus proventing the robbers from getting the valuable contents of the safe. The robbers then came on with tho engine nearly to Juarez, and then abandoned it. They cut the telograph wires, and it was nearly § o'clock before the telegram was received at Juarez telling of the robbery. The men wero ‘Americans, and are supposed o have come across the river, but there is no clue to them.

How Catarrh 1s Produced. Although taking cold is one est and most fagilinr of phenomena, yet the dangersof its in treating and its ulti- mate result are not appreciated, The rulo is to It it wear {tsolf out or seomingly to. Tn a very Iarge majority of cases, catching coid develops in an attack of acite iiflamation of some _por- tion of (1o upper air passages, as being a potnt of least resistance, wnd, further, as these attacks recir with fncreasod frequency and gravity, wo fnd the morbid process localizes itself furiher down and nearer to the vital conters, as regards the so-called Hability to take cold, 1t should be understood that this (s due to an existiog chronic catarrhal intlammation of perhaps Ko milda typoas togive riseto but very trivial Aymptoms, or even passed unnoticed; but still an exisiing catacrl, the result probiably of & neglected cold and tlie renewed attacks to which the individual becomes so liable, consists in the lighting up of the old trouble. Ag ench fresh attack subiides, the chronic trouble makes Liself known by imore declded symptoms, fresh colds occur with greater fi quency and thero is finally established a chronic catarrhi of the nose and throat with its many annoyunces of stopped up nose, lump of mucus in the throat, hawking and _spitiing, pain over eyos and bridie of nose, ringing or buzzing i ears, hacking cough, later on bad odor scabs, nd finally graver trouble lower down in the air passages. Itis very much to be deprecated that as a rule anorlmary cold is allowed to_take its own course without treatment.
