Br.K.J After the acquittal of ox-Deputy
Treasurer Emanuel Fist of the chnrgo of
aiding In the embezzlement of county funds ,
the public turned UP attention to the petition
made to the governor by Charles H. Paul ,
asking fora pardon. The question has fre
quently been asked what effect this action
would Imvo , and to ascertain how the
public felt on the subject , Tur. BEB corre-
epondoi.t made a canvass of u largo number of
tbo cuirctia or thii city. It Is found that
then1 are some who believe that thn acnuittal
of Mr. Fist should hnve no effect upon the
cause of Mr. Paul , while others are of the
opinion that It will tend to strengthen the
case acamst the principal. Another
class believe him guilty , and still
another 'think ' that it will matter
little what action Is taken by the executive.
Mr. Paul has many friends hero who bollovo
bo is the victim of circumstances and Is not
guilty of any intentional crime. They believe
that "ho wni viclimizeil bv an unscrupulous

thn past two weeks a staff of twenty inspec
tors have been at worlc In the city , and as a
result the sanitary conditions hero are as

of Health , authorized by an order in council ,
has secured the appointment of sanitary inspectors
specters who will board
all trains and ves
sels from Now York and will have full
power to deal with any case of cholera which
may be found. Dr. Allen , the medical health
ofticcr , has aavised tbo government to have
a disinfectant apparatus at Clifton to use
upon people arriving from the United States ,
as he considered that there was moro dancer
from that direction than from foreign ports.
Ho says that a slmplo quarantine would not

Although the main body of visitors to the

which opous properly on Monday IB not ex
pected to arrive before tomorrow , the na
tion's capital Is so full of strangers
tonight that no ono pretends to look

of visitors that no ofTort Is made bv fricnas

greeting , but they ropoited few In sight.
The great attraction of tbo encampment
will be tbo grand parade on Tuesday. On

"Lincoln was anxious to got tbo encamp

for It at Detroit , " ho said , "but now she does
not want It. I feel certain Hint Indianapolis
will got the encampment und without a con

'Iho comment * ana criticisms given out at
Wilmington , Del. , and published on
"Wednesday morning b.v ox-Soerotary Bay.
urd , upon Iho Venezuelan question , hus
created almost a furore in diplomatic cir
cles here. Tbo ox-premier oi Mr. Cleveland's
cabinet exhibited ; i duurco of audacity which
has almost stunned ibc old line diplomats ,
for ho negntlvoly disclose * executive secrets
and commits the unpardonable error of olll-
clally criticising the department over which
ho presided for having suffered nnother de
partment to carry out an executive order.
Tbe worst and most unfortunate foaluro of
Mr. Bayard's itatomont is his bold attempt
to cater to the Interests of England at the
cost of the United States. It was. charged a
number of times during the administration
of Mr. Cleveland that Iho Department of
State was bent toward England's interests ,
nnd now that Its secretary of state has crltt-
*
ciscid President Harrison for having sent to
Venezuela a warshln to protect American
citizens there and American interests during
the revolution , the Cleveland administration
stands convicted of tbo charge. 'Iho state
ment of Air. Bavurd throughout Is regarded
as strongly Enzllsb , and was possiblv written -
ton to help along tbo democrats In England
at present raising a democratic campaign
lunn for this country. It Is certainly an
other earnest of what mnv bo expected oy
Great Britain if .Mr. Cleveland should bo
elected.

pressing my sympathy with him in bin
