THE ILLINOIS appellate court has
just rendered a decision which ought
to be generally understood. A
couple of years ago Blooming on
merchant obstructed the sidewalk
with some oil barrels, in consequence
of which man was hurt and sued
the city for 5000. He was success
full 10 the extent Of recovering $3.50
and costs. The corporation then
sued the merchant for the amount
it had been obliged to pay out for
damages resulting from his act.
The case was twice tried in the
circuit court, and once in the
appellate, which latter has now
decided that the city must
recover from the merchant all it
paid Eout with interest on the
same. This seems to be good law
and the right method of getting at
the business. The.corporatiol was
responsible to the individual for not
enforcing its ordinances for his pro-
lection, and the violation of the law
is responsible to the city for the
damages resulting from his law
breaking.

| TIE BLUE book of the United
States for this year is nearly com
pleted, and will soon be ready fol
distribution. This biennial register
contains the names of all persons
who receive money from Con
gressional appropriations. The
first volume contains the names
and amounts received by each, of
all the employees in the various de-
partments of government. There
are $4,000 of these names. The
second volume is devoted exclus-
lively to employees Of the postal
service, and contains $1,000 names.
1t will thus be seen that the
army of ofice-holders over
which Arthur is the general
and cOmmander-in- chief numbers
10000. With remarkably few eX-
ceptions these are all expected to
vote the administration ticket, no
matter what their personal prefer
ences may be, and they are also
counted upon to contribute to the
political fund of the Republican
party. Failure to do both is equi-
valent to a discharge from the gov
ernment service. Besides these

The LADIES of Washington Ter
ritory, upon whom the legislature
has conferred the suffrage with all
that it confers, are not content with
their improved lot. Mrs. Duniway,
the editor, lecturer, agitator and
''righter," was the leader of the
suffrage movement and did more
than any other person toward pull
ing the measure through the legis>
lature, and now it is proposed that
she be rewarded with the governor
ship of the Territory. Petitions
to this end are being num-
erously signed, and will be
forwarded to President Arthur. The
President is understood to be a good
deal of a ladies' aan, but it is also
quite as well under stood that his
admiration of the sex Edoes not ex-
tend to those women who are am
bltlous to usurp the places heretos
fore filed by men exclusively. In
other words, Arthur is a great ad-
mirer of women out of politics, but
not in. AS consequence. Mrs.
Duniway's petitions1 will doubtless
find their way to the executive
waste basket, and the ambitious
lady will have to content herself
with such minor Official distinction
as her voting sisters may choose to
confer upon her. Our personal
knowledge of her suggests that she
would make most excellent pound
It never struck US that
her ambition would soar higher than
the "bossing" of one man, and as
she mas been doing that pretty
effectively during a long and ap-
parently happy married life, It'll
seems that her aspirations should
now halt.

DEATH OF GENERAL KANE.

Hon. George @. Cannon has re-
ceived telegraphic advices announc-
ing the death on Wednesday morn
ing. at his home in Philadelphia, of
General Thomas L. Kane. We need
hardly say that in this death the
Mormon people have lost one of the
bravest and best friends they ever
hal outside the church; for it is q
Well-understood fact that from their
early history General Kane publicly
and privately defended them against
the assaults and schemes of their
detractors and prosecutors. From
the time the Mormons were driven
from Illinois until after the John.
stol campaign to Utah, the history
OF General Kane WAS closely con-
nected with that of the church. In
his early manhood he espoused their
caus out of pure sympathy for an
oppressed and ilI-used people, and
all through a someN hav prominent |
life he had the moral courage to |
stand up in their defense. It |
was largely due to mis- manly and |
Intelligent efforts that the 'Buchan-
non War" was bloodless and turned |
into a blessing instead of curse;
his flying trip across the isthmus
and overland to Utah, is a part of
the history of the country, and the
success of his mission Will ever re-
fleet credit upon his wisdom, good
Judgment and craftsmanship Gen.
eral Kane belonged to one of the
Oldest and most highly respected
families of America, the descent be-
ing through Chancellor Kent, the
brilliant jurist, and one of the good
old Knickerbocker families He was
a brother of the famous DR.. Kane,
Arctic explorer, ana many other
relatives, like himself, have distin.
guished themselves in the fields of
science, adventure and war.
The General was a scholar of
ARE attainments. His famous
ecture descriptive of the sacked
md ruined Nauvoo, after the driv-
ng out of the Saints, is among the
elO0uent and beautiful thinps in
he English language.
The news of General Kane's
lesth will occasion heartfelt sorrow
throughout Utah, where the mourn
ng will be as intense and honest as
t is in the neighborhoed of his own
home, where he was loved for his
lobleness of heart and uprightness 8
If character, his charity and
lis benevolence.

THE NEW YORK Central railroad

distance is seventy-three miles, and
the rate, therefore, is little over
three mills mile. Similar tickets

States Consul General at MStsmoras has
sent a telegram TO the Secretary OF State
in regard TO the action Of the authorities
OF Louisiana in subiecting all vessels from
Mexican ports to quarantine. 1t reads as
follows:
"The state Of Louisiana has quarantined
all Mexican ports. This is very unjust TO

NEW YORK, August 6.--The strikers still
maintain that Ecker mas been ousted. No
authoritative denial has yet been made by
the Western Union OF the truth Of the
report.
A gentleman who for several years has
been familiar with men and life on Wall
street, speaking OF the teIegrapher's strike
said 1.-THE companies will in the end
accede TO the strikers demand for arbi-
traton. The Western Union will not
hold out much longer, AS Jay Gould will
take an early opportunity to get rid Of
General Eckert, throw upon him the blame
for the present dead.lock and
open negotiations with the Brother
hood. That society has made a demand
for much more than it ever expected to get,
and will yield TO any reasonable PROPOSE
tions. look for the whole thing to be
over in Two weeks at the furthcst. Gould 5
greatest interests are in ~. Louis, and he
has done more and is now doing more for
the city than any other place. Through ST.
Louis and the great Southwestern system Of
roads be sees a way 10 the browning ambi-
ton Of his lie, the annihiation Of Wander
bit. His interests in the five
roads comprising the southwest system

the Missouri, Kansas Il Texas, the Texas
Pacific and the International enor-
nous, and he will not permit the operators
on these roads to be driven to the
extremity OF strike. Moneyed men are
tired Of the Western Unlon's eXacting a
tribute from the commerce OF the country
in the shape OF large dividends, a
stock that has been watered to S74,-
900, 900 from ST., 900, 900 under his ma
nipuIatiOns, aud will insist upon change
Of policy. When Gould went into Western
Union and watered it so freely, it was with
the notion that he would sell oft to the gov
eminent, but he has found that plan will
not work, | consider Gould the abest
tnancer the world ever produced. Should
he live ten years. Vanderbilt will be
wrecked, and in fifteen years the Bank Of
England will be al Gould's mercy"

THAT REPORTED TREATY.
Com ments OF the Times on the Supposed
Treaty Between Mexico and Ger
many.

NEW YORK, August 4. The Times says:
"A local newspaper causes something of a
sensation here to-day by asserting that an
extraordinary secret political treaty has
been made between Mexico and Germany,
under which the two nations have entered
into an offensive and defensive alliance. II
was said, moreover, that this action was
taken against the protest Of our Minister,
Mr.. Morgan, aud accompanied by arrogant
and insulting language toward him and our
country by the German Minis
ter. II was also claimed In
the article that our state department was
duly advised OF the negotiations and Of the
spirit In which they were conducted, but
that II had taken no steps TO prevent the
treaty or to protest against II, These allie.
cations are OF serious charactcl, and. As
stated made some talk In diplomatic cir.
ceS. They are generally, however, dis.
credited. Our foreign policy is no, intend.
ed to be vigorous In the diplomatic, hut no
one believes the administration would nc.
QuieScc In such an impudcnt and dangerous
treaty S the swspapcr article referred 10
describes. Such AN alliance would be In
fiat and dctan, opposition tc the Monroe
doctrine, and II tolerated by our govern.
mout would involve the abandonment OF
that policy. That treaty OF this descrp-
ton should have been negotiated without
the knowledge OF other powers which
have important relations with Mexico,
such as France or England, Is hardly prob.
able, aud II Is not at all likely that any
foreign power would consent TO It's oxccu.
ton without strenuous opposition. It's cf-
fects would be TO make Mexico a German
dependency, and II would lead to repeti.
ton Of the Maxamlian experiment, lone
episode IN their history which the Mexicans
themselves look back to with shame.
Hence those accustomed to diplomatic ru.
mor regard this very improba.
bic enc. That Mexico IL nego-
tialing commercial treaty
with Germany similar In terms to that now
pending In the United States Senate Is
known, but that she has, IN addition,
formed asecret political alliance with Ger.
many Is deemed Incredible. The paternity
OF the story Is tho same as that of tho
Chihuahua annexation scheme, q. rumor
which Was absurd on iL tAce."
