\ Tribune dispatch says All of the
memters of the Joint High Commission
excepting Mr.. Justice Nelson, who has been
too i'll to attend the more recent meetings,
were at the State Department to-day, and
the important treaty upon which they have
been at work for the past two months was
signed and scaled. The work of the Com
mission Is therefore at an end, and whatever
may be the fate of the treaty in the Senate,
neither the English nor the American Com
missioners have any further power. The
Joint Commission was appointed to negotiate
and sign treaty, and this duty having been
performed, nothing else remains for them to

for home on the 9th inst, at which time
Mr. Schenck will also depart, to take up his

be necessary.

The New York papers last week contained
an account of another of those peculiarly
Neto- Yorkish murders, the murderer being a
man by the name of Foster. sometimes, when
not too drunk, street car conductor, and
the victim, man by the name Of Putnam
Putnam was struck on the head with piece
of iron. by Foster, as he was stepping from
the platform Of a car, and so much injured
that he died in very short time Foster
was soon arrested. A tribune reporter has
since interviewed him, and Foster claims tc

Ex- Commissioner David \ Wells writes
an interesting letter to the New York Ma
ton, on the prospective rate of interest in
this country tor the next quarter century
Mr.. Wells assumes that the rate of interest
depends on four conditions, the product
iyene>s OF labor; ,, the supply of capital },
the degree of risk IN loans ], the state OF
the currency. For the next generation, at
least, the fertile land of the United States
cannot be wholly occupied and there can be
10 sensible decline in the productiveness of
labor, or in the demand for capital. As for
the further supply of capital, it is evident
that there can he no accumulation of it In
this country beyond the immediate wants of
our own people. Europe is now lending
mo ney, to It's own people, on advanced rates
% interest, and there Is no reason to believe
that capital from that source will be furnish
ID TO lower the present rate OF interest here
during the next generation. The limited
success OF the five PER cent loan shows that
capital now commands a higher rate, ana
speculative / Investment threatens TO keep the
market active and unstable. As to the risk
OF loans IN this country. our reputation as
borrowers is not the highest in the world,
nor is 1t likely 70 improve under the present
management. Mr.. Wells quotes with ap-
prevail Mr.. Amasa Walkers remark that the
wide fluctuations in the rate os interest.
which are due to the use of currency made
up largely of credit, may be expected TO in
crease in violence and frequency hereafter, as

CONNECTICUT ELECTIoS.-The Legislative
Committee were expected to report to the
legislature this "wednesday afternoon, the
result of their investigations as to the vote
in the Fourth Ward in New Haven At 9
O'Clock last evening, the time ofadjournment,
the number of affdavits reached $50, wanting
only 70 Of the number claimed for Jewell in
that ward 1t IS generally conceded that
this practically settles the dispute, and that
the legislature will find on report of the
committee that Jewell has been legally
elected Governor.
\ Hartford dispatch says.
In view of the facts shown in the
investigation in New Haven it is probable
that the legislative committee on the canvass
Of votes will report to the legislature on itf
reassembling on Wednesday afternoon, that
Marshall Jewell is elected Governor by the
people, and that resolution will be offered
declaring him elected. Whether there will
he a discussion on this, and its passage

day or whether there will be public inaugu-
ration ceremonies and the usual parade.

the linked currency system lis extended
through the commercial world. Mr.. Wells
concludes that there is at present no pros
pect of a general reduction of the rate of
interest in this country for many years to
come. Seven per cent be puts as the lowest
average; with an exception in favor of ma
tional State loans. with which compensating
advantages are offered to make up for the re-
dueed rate OF interest.

Nothing short of successful rev0lu.

bic full of discernment, that the pco.
pie are heartily sick of being presided
over by man who has not a single
qualification for the exalted station in
which an accident of war placed him.
Every intelligent man in the country
knows that the position required the
first talent, craftsmanship aud integ
rity. Knowing this, he is compelled
TO acknowledge that Grant falls far
short in either requisite of ap.
preaching the weakest Of his pre-
doccssors. Our country is increasing
in population, in intelligence. in re-
sources and in power, and-more than
ever before-an Executive is required
possessing great knowledge and un-
swerving integrity. One who can
talk horse, aud point out the fine
points Of that noble animal, will suit
for President Of Jockey Club. Ore

no regard for expenses A man fond
of gifts might be satisfied with the
general agency Of some Boriobooliga

be proftably employed as an advance
agent for a one horseshow, drummer
