Tribune
The figures of failures in this country for
the first quarter of 1876 confirm the view
which we have frequently expressed. There
can be no better times until there has been
general liquidation, and it is desirable that
that should come about as soon as possible.
The weak ones cannot succumb too fast for
Inelr own good and that OF the whole public.
Therefore when the statistics show so great
an increase in the number Of failures for the
first three months of the year, compared with
That OF the same period 10 1875, or of the last
quarter of that year, there is no reason for
crying over it.-Ne,v York Journal of Com

tow should not have in the national conven-

The Drew Claim.

To the Editor of the Press
? Having read an article in the PRESS of the
18th which related to "a land claim" arising
from the settlement of the north cas- tern boun-
dairy question BY the treaty of 1912, L called
attention to some errors aud want of correct
Information on the part of the writer of that
article, basing my explanation upon the official
reports of the Commissioners and the treaties,
copies OF which were In my possession, as we'll
as upon my own recollection OF facts, knowl-
edge OF which [ had acquired whilst connected
with the commissions that were respectively

due north line was run With great care by the
U. s. er pdrte Commission from the monument
at the head of the river st. Croix Established
under tho treaty of 1894 to the river st John,
distance of about 7S miles, which showed
that the exploring line' run in 1917 and 1918
with a view to marking the boundary as estab-
lshed by the treaties of 1888 and 1914, wss
located for the most part to the westward of
the correct due north line, being at the river
St John about 2200 feet to the westward of it,
This exploring line of 1917 and 1918" it ap-
peared was adopted as the limits of land grants
and settlements on both sides of the line so
that when the treaty of 1912 was being negoti-
ated by Mr.. Webster and Lord Ashburton, it
was so framed that the assumed north line as
explored in 1917 and 1918 was adopted instead
of the due north line called for by the treaties
of 1888 and 1914, in order that all titles on both
sides of the line should continue undisturbed
and that no future claims for damages could
arise. This fact was we'll unG erstood at the time.
L therefore stated that if the claim now before
Congress was for the gore of land lying be-
tween the "due north line" and the exploring
line of 1918, or for any portion of it, there
could not, in my opinion, be any legal or equit.
able grounds whatever for such claims on the
part of individuals; first because the states Of
Maine and Massachusetts, as 1 understood, had
already been paid liz full for that laLd, 80
that those two states should be liable for the
payment of all proper claims for any portion of
that land; and second, because the line of
boundary run under the treaty of 1912, con-
tinues as before then to be the limits of all the
land grants along that line

THE argus has a correspondent who s.

The Argus has correspondent who signs
himself Ante Bellum and who discusses the
financial question. In treating of the curren-
cy he reasons like lanatic, but he correctly
understands the position of the argus and,
making an extract from an editoria! in that
paper, goes on to say:
Thus, then is admitted upon the double
authority of the Bulletin and yourself both
the feasibility and the process within one
days reach of the government of utterly dis
pensing forever with specie resumption in this
country, and still accomplish every purpose
for which currency is designed.
The Argus when that editorial was published,
apparently labored under the impression that
it was hard money article, but its corresron-
dent exposes the drift of its reasoning. Its
ideas on finance are about as clear as those it
has regarding modern political geography,
the kingdom of Greece for example.

The Democrats and The Haheas Cornus

1t has been often pointed out that in the
decade preceding the war the only genuine
defenders of the reserved rights of the States
were the Republicans, and that the Demo-
Gratis, overlooking for the time their pet dog
ma, made fierce assaults upon the personal
liberty bills as unconstitutional and treasona-
BILE. Indeed the Democracy whenever it has
been entrusted with the national authority
has paid very little attention to State rights
in States held by its opponents. This is but
one instance out of many of Democratic in
eonsistencies. The latest is afforded by the
Democratic course in the House in regard to
the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus
in the case of the witness Kilbourne. For
years Democratic orators have been declaim-
ing against such suspension, denouncing il
as unnecessary, unconstitutional and tyran-
nical even in case of rebellion where it was
required by considerations of public safety.
Now, in time of profound peace, when the
public safety is not at all concerned, these
Democrats make an issue with the judicial
branch of the government (which by the
way they have long contended has been de-
prived of its proper weight) and grave
ly argue that a suspension of the
writ of habeas corpus is right and
proper. They claim that this right, a
right which has not been claimed by legis.
lative body for hundred and fifty years, is
inherent in the House and can be exercised
whenever the House feels that IFS authority
has been defed or its dignity affronted. As
questions of contempt ''admit of no precise
definition" the House can call anything it
pleases contempt, and the imprisoned citi-
zen is left altogether without redress.
Thus it appears that these Democrats have
all the time been insincere in their professed
regard for the sanctity of the writ of habeas
corpus and the preservation of the liberty o.
the citizen. Upon the most trifing pretext
they do not hesitate to violate both. Only
the storm of remonstrance, ridicule and con.
tempt which their proposed action brought
upon them deferred the majority from hold.
ing Kilbourne in defiance of judicial process
and as il was quite one.half of them put
themselves on record in favor of the virtual
suspension Of the writ. 1t was the nearly
unanimous vote of the Republican side which
frustrated the attempt.
