THE TOWNSHIP WINs-The Supreme Court
last week filed an opinion in the famous

the breaking of his plow while working on
the road. Suit was originally brought be-
fore Justice Lint, who gave Judgment in
favor of the plaintiff for $500. The case
was appealed and twice tried in Court, Mr..
Parson winning each time. 1t was finally
carried to the Supreme Conrt, and resulted
as above stated. The case will cost Mr.. Par

COMFORTING ASSURANCE.

Don Cameron Comforting His Friends With
the Idea that Although the Battle Has
Gone Against Them All is Not Lost-A
Checkmate to Presidential Patronage.
PITTSBURGH, PA, November IL.
United States Senator Cameron has been
In this city the past few days in confer
ence with Federal ofllce-holders and politi-
cal leaders. He held levee at the
Monongahela House, the primary pur-
pose of which was to become personally
acquainted with the newly-elected men,
bers of the next Legislature. Mr.
Cameron Is positive of his sue
ceeding himself as United States Senator,
and his conference with prominent Repub-
licans from this part of the State was
satisfactory. His secondary reason was
to explain to those vitality interested his
plan whereby the majority of the Federal
offices would be retained by the Repub-
licans. The Senate will be Republican,
and as there are great many officers
whose terms expire during the next session
of Congress, they or their successors will
be Immediately appointed by President
Arthur and confirmed by the Senate, and
as their official terms will extend over
four years these politicians will remain
heritages They can not be removed
from office unless for cause, and conduct
on the part of any one of them unbecom-
ing his position would be the only act that
would remove him. Mr.. Cleveland may
find it very difficult to get the Senate
to confirm his appointments of
Democrats. Such refusal on
the part of that body would have
the effect of continuing in Office all Repub-
lican Federal officers whose terms might
expire during the next administration, as
the office-holder is allowed by law to re-
main in his position until either re-
appointed or succeeded, no matter if his
commission be expired, and any refusal
on the part of the Senate to confirm
Democratic successors would virtually
continue in Office all Republicans. An
other thing may be resorted to as an
alternative or rather as compro-
| mise. There are number of
| Southern States pronouncedly Demo
cratic, with little chance of ever becoming
RepublicaniZed. The Democratic Sena-
| tors from such States may effect a COM
promise with Republican Senators to agree
to appointments, either Democratic or
Republican, according to the territory in
which the appointment may be. Mr..
| Cleveland could help good feeling by APP
| pointing officials in that way, otherwise
he will experience trouble with the Re-
| publican Senate. These facts have leaked
out since Mr.. Cameron came here.
