recent meeting of the local millers this
question was brought up of closing for

the positive and emphatic opposition of

state paper dealing with large questions.
Lord 8a isbury, whose flippant and ins

bered, will take small comfort from the
very decided language of Mr. Cleveland.
“Having first foifilled the “just de
mands of international comity,” he says,
after describing Sackville's unpardons
able conduct, “in mixing in our politics
and insulting the senate and the execu:
tive, by affording a full opportunity for
her majesty’s government to act in relief
of the situation, I considered prolonga-
tion of discussion to be unwarranted, and
thereupon declined to farther recognize

which is essential to the good under

consistent with the welfare and self res
