The report that Buropean nations are intriguing to break down our recipro- oty rolations with South American countries is authoritatively confirmed by Secretary of State Foster. cial states that European governments have for a long time been endeavoring, in one form and another, to the reciprocity work of this government. The state department has met this med- dlesome disposition on the part of Eng- land, Germany, Franco and Italy ot every turn in its reciprocity negotin- tions during the yoar, and tho present socrotary of state, who has been por- sonally in charge of the negotiations of reciprocity treaties, has been compelled to exercise all his diplomatic skill in preserving the privilges gained by the United Stutes. In every instance where this country has succeeded in negotint- ing a treaty with one of the southern republics, the European powers have without delny attempted to break down the agreements and to secure for them- the ated to the United States, Se ary Poster solves priviloges g states thata month go the governments of Germany, I'rance and Ttaly compluined to the president of San Domingo that in making their reciprocity treaty with the [nitod States they had discriminated against those countries which had treaties with the Dominican republic containing the most fuvored nation cla and they have been the republic of San Domingo to secure for thei tve governments a reduction of duties equal to that"which has been granted to the United States on all articlesof com- merco affected. This policy has also been pursued with reference to overy country with which we have ne- gotiated troaties, and England has been cqually with Germany, France and Ltaly in trying to secure a modification of the various taritt sched- ul use, pressing e respe othe interested This matter has received the serious attention of the Stato department, which is represented as being deeply the course of the 1 govornments, The State ds- partment has pointed out to those gov- oraments that the privileges granted the United States under the veciprocity law do not conflict with any privilege dne any other nation under the most favored nation The United States, under these treatios, is granted no speeial and peculiar advantages whicii it does not for with advan- tages of presumably equil value. It is asimply question of fuir exchunge, and the foreign governments who have en- tered complaints are seeking to get for nothing privileges for which this coun- try has paid a substantial price. While European nations are thus in- triguing against reciprocity, for the veason that ivis transferring the valus ble teade of countries in this hemis- phere from tho other side of the At- luntic, the democratic party is denounc- ing the policy as a sham and a humbug, and endeavoring to convince the Amer- icnn people that it ought to be aban- doned. The attitude of Buropean coun- tries toward reciprocity is an ample acknowledgment that it has already cavsed them a loss of trade, and that they are fearful it will prove more dam- aging to them in the future, and this ought to be suflicient to convince the American | > that it is a good thing for this country. Theaction of Buropean governments furnishes the Strongest possiblo testimony that the policy is not what the democratic party declaves itto be, and it cin bs supplemented with most convineing evidenco in the form of practical achievement. The continuanee of this policy, to which Buropean na- tions so strongly object, is dependent upon the succsss of tho republican party. concerned over Burop elause. One of the most conspicuous figures in the world of lottors and most . gifted poets that has enriched the English language during the present century is forover silenced. The death of the author of “The Princess,” *1dylls of the King,” *In Me- moriam,” *Locksley Hall,” *The Lotus Eaters” and other posms of wide popu- lurity, will occasion deop s0-vow w the English language is Although he had passed four-score yours and had fully rouadad out his litarary life, the announcement that his end has come will everywhera bo roceived with SOPTOW. Lord Tennyson's lifo was poculiarly symmetrical and perfoct in all its as pects, but the poet overshadows the man and dwarfs those qualitios of his nature by which he was endeared to those who were pormitted to come into touch with his personality. Nootherwriter of verse in his time had so large u circle of read- ors or exerted so marked an influence in moulding poetic taste and exprossion as the English laureate, His originality and inventiveness, the freshness and veauty of his conceptions, the rare grace angd strength of his detion, the delicacy and sweetness of his sontiment, all con spired to his wo the richest treasureof poetic creation that has been bequeathed to the world -during present ceutury.

It canuot be denied that in his later vonrs TLord Tennyson departed a little from the simplicity which his American admirers could have wished to see him cling to. They did not like to see him become a baron, for there seemed to be something incongruous about the title in his case. Neither were his recent poems und dramas received with much favor in this country, and thousands of his friends on this side of the sca re- gretted them not only because they indicated flagging powers, but because they wera thought to be injurious to his great fame. The recent work of Tenny- son will, however, be little considered in the world’s critical estimates of his poetry. The great pdems written in the full glow of his younger enthusiasm and in the plenitude of his intellectual powers, are the ones that will spring to the mind when Alfred Tonnyson’s name is spoken. THE LESSON OF GEORGIA, It the people’s party hay ever seri- ously entertained the hope of carrving any southern state the vesult of the election in Georgin ought to banish it. The new political movement was sup- posed to have reached o groater devel- opment in that state than in any other in the south, but when put to the test its strength is found to have been groutly exaggerated. The democrats won an overwhelming vtetory, evidencing the fact that thousands of voters whom the populists had counted upon supported the democratic candidates, while the negroes, for whose votes the poople’s party bid with tho promise of protection at the ballot box, largely voted with the democracy. It wasa square fight be- tween the democracy and the new party and the latter was utterly routed. Undoubtedly a like fate awaits the populists in every other southern state. There are some loyal members of the new political organization, but the large majority are demoorats first, and when brought to the crucial test will vote that ticket. There is no more chance of Weaver carrying any southern stato than there is of his getting the electoral vote of Now York. The south will give its solid electoral vote for the democratic national ticket, and if there are any populists in the north who think differently they belong tothat elass who will not see. It is as plain as anything can be that the democrats are masters of the situation in every southern state and will continue to be so during the present campaign. It would seem from the example of Georgin that the colored vote is lavgely with them, and this was a chief reliance ot the popu- lists. The fact 1s, however. that the leaders and members generally of tho new party are not men who employ labor and are in a position to exert an influence upon the pockets of voters, and with the colored men of the south very generally an appeal to their pecuniary interests sarries more weight than anything else. With the populist par dead in the south, what can the adher- ents of that party in the northwest hope to.nccomplish except to assist in making Mr. Cleveland president ? And having done this, what possible advan- tege will they have gained ? Is there anything in the public career of the democratic candidate which shows him 1 tohave the slightest sympathy with the cardinal principles of the populist party? In what respect would Mr, Cleveland be more friendly to the ob- jects which the new party was organ- ized to promote than President Harri- son? Is it not undeniable that the people who constituto the new party in. the northwest owe vastly more to the republican than to the domocratic party, and therefore have the best of rensons for counfidence in the future friendliness of the former toward their interests ? It is hardly conceivable that any con- siderable number of intelligent men who have allied thomselves with the new party can fail to see, if they will reflect upon the matter, that while there is absolutely no possibility of olecting their presidential candidates, neither the interests of their party nor their individual welfare would be pro- moted by making Mr. Cleveland pres dent. As the situation is, thisis the only thing that the populist party can Lope to accomplish ¥y practically DOM has a more sensational pioce of news been published than the story of the annihilation of the Dalton gang of outluws at Coffeyville, Kan. It was a tragedy of the most blood-curdling kind and surpassed inall the elements of horror the most lurid production of the dime novelist. The public will breatha more freely now that these desperadoes have been wiped from the face of the earth, but it is a great pity that their extermination should have cost the iives of innocent men and good citizens, “The business of organized robbery aud murder has before been shown to be a hazardous one, but it would not bs easy 1o point out an instance in which a gang of outlaws has ever boen more suddenly and completely crushed out, It is to be hoped that the gory fate of the Daltons will mark the closing chaptor of this species of outlawry in this country, It is sure to bring its just penalties sooner later in every case. The brave Kunsas men who shot these robbers down in their tracks performed a ser- vico for public security that will be performed in the same manner by other men elsewhere when required to do so defense of their property and their personal sufety. 1t seems incredible that almost at the close of the nine- teenth century, in a land of the highest civilization, such a career as that of the Dalton gang can have been possible. Let their terrible fate bea warning to any who may contemplate similar des- porate deliance of the country’s laws.

They have evidently been watohing very olosely his overy utteranoe in hope of tripping him up i somo undiplomatio remark. Yesterday Mr. Egau is renorted to have said in an in- terview that a prominent New York demo- crat used his influence with Senor Montt, the Chilian minister tojthe United States, to reauest the ilian government to object to bis remaiuing as United States ministor to Chili and to ask this government for his re- caki, Seolng this printea Mr. Igan's enemies at once took it up with the remark that it isa “most undiplomatio utterance” and ‘“‘bo- trayed the scoret of a government of which he was the crodited ropresentative.” 1t 1s stated on authority that already the Chthan lezation in this city has had its attention dirccted to the utterance. Mr. Egan is expocted tomorrow and will no doubt hear of the inciaent when ho calls at the State department. A well fnformed ofticial of the Stato department said today that it was not likely that Mr. Egan would return to Chili in an ofticial capacity. He based bis statement on information given by ex-Consul Mot reary, who recently roturnod from Valparaiso, Mr. McCreary said that Iigan was tired of Chili and had told him that ho would resign after reaching this countrv. Itisnot thought, however, that Mr. Kgan would let zo until after ho had in- dulzed in sixty days leave.
