Crey ATTORNEY POPPLETON'S opin- jon on the assessment of damages and Lenefits on grade changes opens the way toa flood of ligitation. INTERNATIONAL arbi ion is a good thing on paper, but a mujority of na- tions will, as heretofore, arbitrate with lead and steel when ocension demands. A Wk cogitation will enable th board of education to feol the full force of public sentiment against placing the public schools in charge of a man of doubtful compotency and questionable record. WHEN two such distinguished purists as Butler and Burrows fall out and give the insideshistory of their work in be- half of tho “oppressed,” the fate of un- adulterated reform is enveloped in a maze of doubt. THE prohibitionists of Wisconsin have added to the political complications in that state by placing a ticket inthe fleld. Their action is significant. Instead of working the non-partisan dodge, they come out openly in search of office. ANERICAN real estate deals become insignificant when compared with the dealsgoing on in Africa, One British company has secured control of seven hundred and fifty thousand square miles of territory, with an ocean frontage of four hundred miles, IN view of the party’s desporate of- forts to defeat the admission of Wy oming, the democracy displays an ab- normul development of gall to claim the state. The people of Wyoming know their friends and will take advantage of the clection to administer a vigorous re- buke to the obstructionists, —————— DEMOCRATIC papers ure painfully worried lest the legislation of congress will wreck the republican majority. Tt s passing strange that a pa which Yould derive benefit from such a dis- astor should express alarm. If the re- publicans have hopelessly wrecked themsclyes is it not proper cause for democratic rejoicing? THE annual report of the secretary of the board of education presents in detail the financial operations of the public schools for the year ending July 14. The total receipts from all sources amoanted to three hundred and seventy-two thou- sund nine hundred and seventy-eight dol- lars; expenses, three hundved and forty- four thousand three hundred and ninety- four dollars, leavinga balance on hand of twenty-cight thousand five hundred and eighty-four dollars. The items of expenses show a wide field for reform and cconomy without in the slightost de- greo impairing the usefulness of the schools. 1t behooves the new board to serutinizo the expenses of the past year and effectively close the leaks by lop- ping off the ornamental features and con- fining expenses to necessaries, PoLrrican clubs and voters in every ward should move promptly In the matter of petitioning the city council for additional polling places, Under the charter a petition signed by fifty or more voters is necessary to onable the council to act on this important ques- tion, The law divects thut when a ward contuing more than four hundred logal voters and a petition is prosented for division, the mayor and council *‘shall by ordinanee divide such ward into two or more election distriets.” It will bo seen that action must first be had by fifty or more voters in a ward. Peti- tions should be eirculated at once in every ward, so that the council can pro- ceed to redistriet the city und furnish ample facilities for casting a full vote at the November election. THE BEHRING SEA CORRESPONE | The president sont 1o the house o | representatives the correspondence be- tween the governments of the United Siates and at Britain regarding t scal fisherics in Behring sen, which was called for by tion of the house some two weeks ngo, The delay in | trensmitting this information has been aseribed by newspapers hostile to the ad- resolu ministration to a differenc of opinfon between the president and of state, in con: sequence of which the president had di- vected that the correspondonce be with- held. It was stated that the attitude of the secretary of state in the controver was not approved by the president, and that the latterwas preparing toannounce a change in the position of the ment on this su govern- d in- with ject which render | expedient a compliance at this time the request of congress for information, | Of course the submission of the corre- spondence explodes the | ragarding o disagreement dent sud secretary of hes the fact that there ement in the adminis ng this question, ter to the president tho pr nd establ pl tration regn In his 1 Blaine tthe correspondence is still in progress, and its al volu- minous character may bo understood from the fa that since August, 1889, s than a year, thirty separate papers have been exchanged, the having b written by socretary of ate to the ish minister at Washington as late nineteenth of the present month. he correspondence opened with a de- mand from Lord Salisbury that the United States stringent orders to its Behring sea for the prev nee of the sciz sels in those wate nees had been administration nt of should be with B appears that if such assurance w it was unoficially, and administ rument should issue in ro- 1 ofticer: ition of a of British ves- ming that ven by the that pend- the contro- no further sh vessel 1t eur 8, ol ronce done so quently the under no o conse- wis ration to respect it, and as new \tion amatter of no attention was paid to it.

In February Last the Britishmin- ister at Washington wrote that his gov- crnment was willing to ndopt the sug- gestion that the teipartite negotintion suspended in London two yeurs ago ho resumed in Washington. In May Lord lishury sent a rveply to the arguments of Mr. Blaine, and the correspondence to dato closes with the rejoinder of Mr. Blaine. There is nothing in this correspond- ence, on either side, offensive in the sligghtest de, to the pride or dignity of cither country. The position of this government has heon firmly maintained without any manifestation of arrogan or presumption, but onthe contravy. with rey xpressions of a desive for u sabis y settloment believed to be attainable. The British government has been no less firm in maintaining its on and equally courteous in pre- sonting its views. There is certainly nothing in the correspondence to sug- gestany immediate danger to the peace- ful relations of the two countries, nor is there anything to indicate that the dis- cussion may mnot be indefinitely pro- longed. ~that is, to a proper re- United States. The claim diction over s | WILL THE FAIR BE A FAILURE? The general assembly of Iilinois has convened in extra session to consider the various legislative measures to be proposed for the benefit of the world’s Columbian exposition, The specific ob- jocts for which the session is called, and to which its deliberations will be con- fined, are the submissionto the people of u proposition to amend the state constitution so as to authorize the city of Chicago to incrense its bonded in- debtedness to an extent mnot ex- coeding fivemillion dollars, the proceeds to be used inaidof the exposition; the passage of such logislation us may be nocessary for the use or occupuney of any public.ground, paric or aren for tho location of the exposition; and to vest the city of Chicago with the right, powee and authority of eminent domain to be oxereised for purposes in behalf of the exposition. It is not expected that there will be any difficulty in sceuring this nec cssary legislation if the conflicting inte ests in Chieago which have delayed proparations by their persistent warfare regarding a location can be reconcifed and kept so. The delay which the conflict over the quostion of location has caused to the work of preparation has not only been most embarrassing to those who ave charged with that duty, but has had other ill effects. It has created a wide- spread apprehension that the fair is likely to fall far bohind what it was intended to bo and that it may bo found necessary to extend for six months or a year beyond the date now flxed the time for opening. There salso been produced a very general distrustof Chicago’s honesty and patriot- ism that may prove more damaging to the interests of the exposition abroad than at home. The manifest greed and selflshness that have been at the bottom of the prolonged fight rogurding a loca- tion naturally suggested that the great enterprise intended to commemorate the discovery of the continent, was regavdod by Chicagoans simply as a scheme of local aggrandizement, out of which each one would be justifiod in geabbing all ho could get, while the appurent fact that corrupt influences were already at work with theauthorities necessarily produced distrust throughout the country. Un- questionably this unfortunate state of af- fairs has led to a very general decline of intorest in the exposition, which will be rostored slowly and only when Chicago shall have demonstrated. her determin- ation to fully and faithfilly carry out every condition imposed in cone noction with the oxposition, and every promise which that city made to con- gress and the country in asking for the groat entorpris There is now favorable promisa that the praparations will be pushed forward without further serious delay. The agreement reachod regarding location disposes of the question that has been the obstruction to progress thus far, and while othor matters will arise upon which disagreemonts are to beexpected, nothing is to be apprehended that is likely to canse so much controversy and trouble as this question has made. Won- derful work will have to be done, how- ever, to make up for the valuable time that has been lost, A FACTION WAR.

A TORONTO newspaper advocating Canadian representation at Washington. The peculiar position of the Dominion government by reason of its dependence upon Great Britain withholdsfrom it the right to enter diplomatic relations. While the United States can not have a vegularly aceredited minister at the Do- minion eapital, the various consuls and commareial agents located in all the larger Canadian citios enablo the state department to keep informed in regavd to any infringoments of the rights of thiscountry, The Canadians argue that tho employment of a resident agent at Washington would strengthen rather than impair the bond which unites them to England by enabling the I ish minister to look at Canadian in- terests from the Canadian point of view. Whether this be true or not, it is not to be doubted that the employment of such a representative would bring about a better understanding between the Do- minion and United States governments, leading eventually to a closer union of the two countries, commercially if not politicall; ON the eve of harvest the farmers of North Dakota find themselves the vic- tims of a confidence game perpetrated by the late lottery legislature. Heretofore wheat growers were allowed to store grain in elevators for fifteen days with- out cost. The privilege was a beneficial one, as it enabled farmers to sell at an advantage. The legislature concluded that the elevator men were getting rich too fast and imposed an annual license of two and a half dollars on each one thousand bushels ecapacity, This tax the eleva compunies resented and have united in refusing to store grain, thus compelling the farmers to sell at whatever price the companies choose to give. 1l the elevators persist, the con- soquences will be disastrous to the pro- ducers, a majority of whom ave heavily in debt and unable to bear additional burdens. Tyenif the tax is unjust, us the elevator companies claim, retalia- tion on the farmers will not help mat- ters. On the contrary, it will intensify opposition to clevator combines and provoke more rigorous legislation in the future. S THERE appears to be a very general desire that the congressional apportion- ment shall be made atthe present se sion, and unguestionably there are excel- lent reasons why this should be done. Regarding the new basis of representa- tion, the opinion appears to be very gen- eral among members of congress that it should be fixed at about one hundred and ninety thousand, so0 as not to ma- terially increase the membership of the house. Ifthisis done states that are counting on a considerable addition to their congressional delegations will be disappointed, as will also be others which could not in any event hope to do more than hold their own.
