During a period of eight years and nine months five treasurers anve pocketed an aggregate of four hundred and sixty thousand four | hundred dollars, The smallest in- dividual haul was sixty thou- sand and the highest one hundred and Iwenty-eight thousand. These enor- mous sums were paid by the banks for she privilege of caring for the public lunds. With such enormous profits at- tached to an office, it is not surprising that the fine workers flourished and that the ballot box was outraged to boost mto office men who would divide the plunder with the gang.

It is not an edifying fact that a large number of republicans in the house of tives confess that they voted for the tariff bill in obedience to caucus dictation, They did not’ believe the measure as a whole to be for the best interests of the country and were any fous for its amendment and modifics tion in many respects, but yet they gave it their support because the us had so ordered. Some of these republicans undoubtedly feel very strongly that the bill is in many of its features an unjust and even danger- ous measure, for it is said they will en- | deavor to secure amendments to it in the senate, but they had not the inde- pendence to assert their convictions against the demand of the caucus and perform their duty in the direction of what they believed to be in the publie interest and for the general good. This it confidence of the yand sincerity of tends to destroy the people in the integri their representative The truth is that the substitution of the party eaucus for the deliberate judg- ment of congress, which has come into practice of late years with respect to all important questions, cannot be regard, as o safe system for promoting wise legi wtion or one tending to elevate Ameri- | can statesmanship. It effect is to en- | able a cabal of politicians of either arty to exercise despotie rule over the opinions and conscicnces of others, and to take from men their right of independ- ent action according to their convictions and sense of duty. Unauestionabl there are circumstances in which it is desirable that the representatives of a party shall be united and harmonious. Confer and consultations among members of the parties in congress with reference to questions of orgar and policy are admittedly necessary. But this does not require or justify a system which compels men to sup- port every party measure brought forward, regavdless of the interests they represent and what they believe to be for the general welfare, or accept the al- ternative of party ostracism. If the cau- cus has become the despotic power which it would seem to be from the confession of many republican congressmen, then there is no chance for elevated and inde- pendent statesmanship while it survives, and the country must receive its legisla- tion from the hands of the mere poli- ticians, guided by their selfish ambition | and controlled by the least worthy of in- fluences. nees PROVISIONAL POOLING. The proposed uddition to the inter- state commerce act, introduced in the senate by Mr. Dawes and into the house by Mr. Gear, providing for a system of provisional pooling between competing lines of railvoad, will doubtiess be proved by the business public and by | railvond men. It proposes to allow agreements apportioning the ¢ ing line shall carry share, but without relieving common carriers of other provisions of the act, affecting the juvisdiction and authovity of the commission and courts under the law, or permitting the diversion of traflic consigned by shippers over any specified lines. Such agreements must bo filed | with the interstate commerce commis- | sion, which shall have power to annul or modify them if in operation they are | found to contravene the provisions of | the act. It is very gencrally con- | ceded by those who have given careful attention to the subject that a | plan of legalized pooling is desivable, | and it is contended by the most experi- | enced and conservative railroad that in no other way can frequent and ruinous rate wars be avoided. The ex- periment is certainly worth a trial in the interest both of the business public, which desires settled rates, and of the railroads, which are subjected to s | ous loss from frequently recurring con- flicts. The system proposed by the bills introduced in both branches of congress appears to be amply guarded against abuse and yet sufficiently broad tosecuro | the best results from an honest appor- tionment of competitive traili THE KEMMLER APPEAL DISMISSED. Thesupreme gourtof the United States has declined to interfere in the case of Kemmler, the New York murderer who is under sentence to be put_to death by electricity, only hopd of the con- victed man is now in the clemency of the governor, and it is not at all probable that he will interfere with the sentence. Few criminal cases have commanded such widesproad interest as this, wholly by reason of the new penalty of death by - electricity which Kemmler will be the first person in the world to suffer. Extraordinary efforts have been made in his behalf, not only in the courts, but in working upon public sentiment, Some of the most influential papers in New York have persistently opposed the in- fliction of death by electricity as being both cruel and unusual, and a great deal of public sentiment has been developed ninst the law. After all the ordinar efforts for saving the 1i of Kemmler had n made | without avail, the new law was attacked on the ground that it was un- constitutional in that it prescribed a cruel and unusual punishment, the con- stitution of New York containing the ne language as the federal constitu- tion in this relation. The court of ap- | peuls, the highest tribunal of the stato, after very careful deliberation decided that the law was not liable to the objec tions made by counsel for the prisoner, Thereupon preparations were begun to carry out the sentence, which was to have been executed in the first week of the present mouth, but a day or two be- fore the time arrived a writ of habeas corpus was obtained from the federal cir- cuit court which deferved the execution of the sentence and an application was made to the supreme court to review the decision of the New York court. The ground of this application was that the state statute violated the federal consti- tution. To this the attorney general of New York replied that there was no fed- eral question involved, and this view was sustained by the decision of the supreme court, whichsays in effect that the whole matter of vrescribing a form of punish- ment rests with the states, and that there was nothing in the decision of the court | new W« trade checked by injurious laws, | the substitution of a democ men | | displag the suceessful conviction of the perpe- of appeals of New York to justify fed- eral interference. The importance of this decision does not end with the Kemmler case. The question of substituting death by elec- tricity for hanging is very likely to be generally agitated in the event of the ex- periment in New York being suc- cessful, as undoubtedly it will be, and it is well to have it settled that this form of punishment may be prescribed without danger of federal interference. It is pretty well understood that the persistent effort to overthrow the New York law has been largely influenced by the electrical com- panies, and they have now nothing left to work upon but public sentiment. If death by electricity shall prove to be less eruel than by hanging publie senti- ment will at once approve it and its prac- tice will soon become general. IN THE HANDS OF BOUDLERS.

With a clear control of the council these repub- licans are in honor bound to prevent the removal of republican officials except for cause. They are equally in honor bound to prevent by their votes and influen; for o republican officer whose time has | expired, unless he has proven himself to | be incompetent or dishonest. But seven of these republicans, Chaffee, Wheeler, Shriver, Olsen, McLearie, Davis and Blumer have deliberately entered into o corrupt combination with the democrats to ladel out the municipal patronage to spoilsmen and play into the hands of hoodling contractors, It is an open secret that this combina- tion of the council was secured by down- right bribery and is held together by the cohesive power of plunder. It has been publicly charged that certainmembers of this combine were bought when the pres- ent council organized and this scandal has been ignoved by the council because a searching investigation would not only breal up the combine, but land some of its members behind ivon bars. The desperate etfort which is being made by the junta of conspirators, known as the Broateh Tammany club, to | force the appointment of Birk chairman of the board of public works is only the forerunner of a general vaid upon the city treasury and the tax- payors.

The charge of misappropriation seems to | have been curious afterthought of the eom- mittee. In all the acts and resolutions of congress authorizing an irrigation sur- vey the topographic survey was ex- plicitly provided for in terms. At the request of the irrigation com- mittee aud of the appropriatious committee of both senate and house, Major Powell ex- the necessity of a topographic survey is of a thorough and practical irrigi- tion survey; repeatedly also his explanation Bas been coepted and upproved by tho com- mitteos and an appropristion has been made directing such survey to proceed.

Major Powell wag not, I believe, much contt dence in artesiantyells as & general resourco for farming in arid distric that they should be availed of as largely possible’ and ihag they may even be an portant auxilinry.’ He has estimated that the | entire irrigatlon’ survey, including tho topo- graphic survey, which 'is now for the first time objected ty, conld be completed in seven years from this time with an expenditure of #1,000,000 per year, so that the people of the arid region would know exactly what to do and how to do it most effectively.

The licensing bill introduced in the British parliament by Lord Randolph Churchill is one of the most noteworthy measures of the present session, The plan of dealing with the liquor question, which is suggested for England and Wales, is evidently modeled in part on the Gothenburg system, which has been successfully carried out in Sweden. The fundamental principles of this system are a great reduction in the number of liquor shops a corresponding improvement in the character of those licensed, a_provision that the sale of food shall bo an inseparable ad- junct of the sale of liquor, and the delegation of exclusive authority over the licensing to local authoritics, Lord Randolph proposes that every county in England shall be di- vided into licensing divisions, for each of *h & committee of the county council wiil be appointed annually to act as a licensin commission. Their powers as to the sup- \d the sclection of 1 will be absolute and fi The bi itself, however, suppresses the most numerous class of licensod houses. o at prosent three important for the sule of liquor to be drunk on th . Theso are the publican's or spivit i which authorizes the of all whether distilled or fermented; house license, and the wine license, taken out by the kecper of a hotel or eating house. It is the innumerable beer houses which Lord Randolph would destroy at a blow. Itis g now holding a bee hous apply for a publican licenses; hur as this would imply the posses sion wpital, an improvement in house and quality of the ges sold could be relied upon. The licensing commission will be authori%ed not only to determine how many licenses shall be issued in a given division, but to regulate the hours of opening and closing and the strue- nsed houses. A feature of this bill, which has no analogue in_the liquor leg- islation of the United States, is the provision for compensating the present holders of li- censes, who throush the operation of the pro- vosed law would fail to get their licenses v newed. This provision will be vehement] opposed by the English prohibitionists, but it is certain, on the other hand, to be supported a majority of both political parties, ugh there will, no doubt, be a difference of opinion regarding the principle on which the amount of compensation is to be ascertained. cense lasses of 1 retai n The distinetive foature of French politics today is the promine of fiscal matters, M. eline, the protectionist leader, is finding an tense opposition to his policy developing among the silk dud’ woolen manufactu who, with other victims to the French ag cultural interests, are now sending their protests thick md fast to the capital.

Mr. Kennan has been a suficient prison reform commis- sion for Russia already. But the czar is not pleased with Mr. Keunan, and as it Is not at all likely that he will engagoe their expert services in such a tour, the congress will not be likely to learn much in Russia, aud all the world knows what a hopeless task it is to teach the czar anything.

Bismarck did not decline a dukedom be- cause he felt that he was too poor to keep up the position of a duke, He is very wealthy; there are few Germans richer than he. Every promotion with which Kaiser Wilhelm I honored him was accompanied with a splen- did gift in money; morcover, Bismarck has made many profitable investments. Heowns large grazing lands and beautiful farms; ho is interested financially in several prosperous distilleries and paper mills, and he is one of the owners of the largest wood sawing con- corn in Europe. His income from all sources must be enormous. He is today a wuch vicher man than the German emperor—in fact, William I1. is comps ¢ poor. His grandfather was by no means wealthy; ho was generous and he cared for money only as a means of gratifying his inclination. His andson appears to have inherited many of the old gentleman’s characteristics. But the, greatest honor the young kaiser conferred upon Bismarck was that accorded when he gave Bisma ait of himself; this is regarded in as the highest dis- tinction which a sovereign can confer upon a subject. o brigands lately has been achieved by a Tonquiese band near Haiphong.

The bear enjoyed the fun, aud for some time tho ludicrous scene caused peals of laughter, Finally the young man grew tired and started to escort his furry partner toa seat, but bruin didn't care to vest, and getting a tighter grip on the young man, dragged him around ata wild gallop. The young man began punching the bear in the ribs and bruin reciprocated with a slap over the head that temporarily stunned his dancing partner, The young man's partuers gazed on dis- mayed and finally one of the b st came forward to the rescue and commenced kick- ing the bear.

This surprised the callers of the convention,who stated that they were not, prepared to act on it, us the other resolution was unanimously passed by the committce. nv a cunningly laid scheme it had been decid i carlier in the session to delegate the di; ion and settlement of all resolutions to a s lect committee of five previously picked out by Hall. As a result a hot discussion followed and Cameron’s resolution was denounced by the democratic members as being in favor of republicanism.
