NewsYork, Oct. .11.-Tho papers this morn
ing make tho following editorial com in en U on
President Cleveland's action regarding tho
Backvlllo Incident:
Sun: It Mr. Cloveland has erred In his
treatment of this nunojing Incident, it bas
been on the side ot ocidellboratlon, and yet
It may bo thought that the hurVftlbtlon uf tho
Ilritlsb Covrrninent is greater sluto It fulled to
tnke advantage of tho Joopbplo of escape
offered It by ilr. Clevelaud. w "
World: Ills well that Lord Ssckvlllo is to
go'.' Tho, lesson will not be lost upon other
distinguished diplomats. England will think
better of us, and thu Republican politicians
who havo been counting upoa tho bugaboo
provided by tho soggy British JllnUter will
probablv learn that after all this Is not tho day
of small things.
Trlbuuo : it has taken tho President ten
days to And out that something had to bo dono
about it. At last he has dons whttt was do
manded from tho vory first. r JJut tho Presi
dent waited too long.
Tbo real Importance ot tho Incident lies In
tho conclusive proof of tho English feeling
and judgment It furnishes and that Is not
Iu the least affected bv tho President's ac
tion. Times: Tlio Incident is coded iu a manner
altogether c red I tablo to the Administration at
Washington and with tho least possible
harm,
Herald: What wo bcllovo tho bettor 6enso
of the American people will conclude Is that
tbo President bus allowed his temper to get
tho better of his judgment In bis manner of
dealing with this matter. Wo regie t that In
tbetrcatmeut of this caso ho bas, under tlio
ovll Influence of an Incapablo and hysterical
Socretary ot State, acted In a way to forfeit
something ot tho high opinion which his fellow-citizens
had of him. Wo trust ho will
mako hasto to dismiss Mr. Uajanl and get
himself a Secretary ot Stato ou whoso self
possession, calmness and serious advice he can
more safely depend,
