good reason to believe that there was some
foundation for these accounts. he said ne

THE Observation-Disclosures BILL
[Frcm the Columbia Phoenix ]


1t Ia manifest that The prime object OF the
measure Is not to provide more economical or
efficient police regulations for Charleston, for
there has been no complaint against Mayor
Wagner and his board of aldermen on that
score On the contrary, many wise changes
have been made BY him, and great reduc-
ton In the expenses Of the police department,
as compared with his Radical predecessor
Gilbert Pillsbury-afected. 1t Is only move
10 diyest the present municipal administration
of their most important function-the
control and management Of their police
force, upon which the peace, good order and
sanitary condition of the city so much de-
pends. 1t is designed, further, to deprive
Them OF all power and supervision in the con-
duct of elections, and to restore that power to
the corrupt hands from which the people have
but recently wrested 1t. We are Inclined,
however, to believe that the bill will be killed
In the Senate, even should 1t pass the House.
MIR. Corbin, If we can rely on his letter 10
Mayor Wagner, published In The CHARLESTON
NEWS some time ago, Is opposed to the mea-
sure. If he be sincere In his avOwals there,
and can spare the necessary time to be at his
post in the Senate, he has doubtless sufficient
influence with that body to defeat the bill.
We hope so, any way.

1t is absurd to suppose that the American
Government would allow itself to be com
| promised by the violence or intemperance o
its agents. It is clear that the signature o.
the treaty has not been accepted at Washing
ton in satisfaction for the causes of hostility
which are supposed to have been furnished BY
England.
"It Is suggested, with some plausiblity, that
the American counsel are not In earnest, and
that they wish only to make themselves popu'
lar at home, and perhaps slightly to increase
the amount of damages which might other.
wise have been awarded to their clients. 1t il
not absolutely impossible that their object
may be rather insult than injury, but their is
no third alternative. Offensive language
would be comparatively tolerable If it were
used as an instrument for obtaining several
hundred millions of money. Dlscourtesy OF
fered without any practical object would in
one sense be more lneXcusable. If the per-
verled and spiteful narrative Is not introduced
In aggrayation of damages, it is purely i'm
pertinent affront. It Is indeed hardly possible
that even the plisucy of the English Govern
ment and Commission can have induced the
President and his advisers to believe in the
possibility of inflicllng a fine of FIVE hundred
millions on England. The treaty was drawn
With culpable laxity; but 1t cannot be strained
into an Interpretation consistent with the
American demands. Tile English agents
aoouzd have no choice but to aoittdraoo from the
arbitration IN the improbable eUent Of a con.
sitleration by the tribunal Of The claim on ac-
count of the imaginary proIongation Of tie
aoar. 1t is Incredible that impartial jnrisls,
with their own characters and with the credit
of their respective nations at stake, should
even listen to pretences which would make
neutrality more costly Than participation In
war; yet 1t must be assumed that the able
counsel employed by the United States have
not adopted vlndictIve line and preferred
extortionate demands Without belief in the
possibility of success. Ii the arbitrators
should, contrary to expectation, abet the
scandalous Injustice of the claimants, retire.

at the same time be an instructive comment
on the blessed innovation of substituting judi
