I'm the performance of a task thu9
generally delineated, shall endeavor
to select men whose diligence and tai
ents will ensure, in their respective
stations, able and faithful cooperation

the public service, more on the integ-

on their numbers"
These were noble sentiments, and
any one who has taken the pains tp

ity of sentiment here expressed. They
ore particularly applicable to our pres.

now that the hero of Democracy did
then.

THE POLITICAL FEELING AS the
time approaches for the inauguration,
and the filing Of the local Offices In.
every community, how the imaginary
politicians begin to squirm, and show.
what power they are in their respec-
tive communities. Mr.. A says, without
his influence the party cannot carrs
certain districts or townships in his
county Mr. b threatens, unless his
claims are recognized, he will go over
horse, foot and dragoon to the enemy.
And this is the kind of political fire
and cross-fre that is kept up all tie
time, and we very much fear some,
body is going to be disappointed
since every man cannot get an Office,
and consequently some will be sour.
The best thing for every man to do
for himself and for his country, is 10

A Commendable PLAN.

WASHINGTON, June 10. - Secretary
Bayard has formulated a plan by which he
proposes to lobtain flor American manu-
facturers, through the medium of the
United States consuls in Europe, all the
information they desire regarding manu-
features abroad. He has written to a
large number of manufacturers of all
kinds of articles throughout the country.
asking them to submit to him any aues-
ton covering the subjects upon which
they desire information regarding the
manufacture of their respective classes of
goods in goods in foreign Icountries, and
these questions will be sent to the United
States eonsuls abroad, with instructions to
octain the information sought. Mr.. Bay
ard hopes by this plan to procure for our
manufacturers such information as will
show conclusively whether in price, raw
material, cost of labor, improved ma
ehinery, etc, American or European
manufactures have the advantage in the
production of manufactured articles. Sec
rotary Bayard believes that the possession
of such information regarding the cost of
manufacture and price of raw materials
abroad will also be of great advantage to
the United Statess government as a col
lection duty on imported articles of for
eign manufacture. Secretary Manning is
in full cooperation with the secretary on
the new project.

The Conservatives Want Help
From the Liberals.

From the Liberals.
LONDON, June l9.-In the house of
commons this afternoon Mr.. Labouehere
asked if it was true that the marquis of
Salisbury had been prevented from taking
office by the failure to obtain assurance of
assistance from the retiring government
Labouchere added that he himself and
many other Radicals strongly objected to
any assurance being given to Conserva
tives in the event of their taking Office.
Mr., Gladstone, in reply to the question
of Mr., Labouchere. said when he was last
asked a similar question, he stated he had
not at that time had any conference with the
marquis of Salisbury. Since then, how
ever, he had received overtures from the
marquis. Should there be any result of
any correspondence between the marquis
and himself, it would be made public.
There would be no secret understanding
whatever. In that the marquis OF Sails
bury himself concurred The house then,
upon motion of Mr.. Gladstone. adjourned
until Tuesday.
Under a threat of the Conservatives
that they will appeal to the present con
stituencies, it is expected hat Mr.. Glad
stone will succeed in ~persuading the Radi-
cal section to agree To allow the budget
deficit to be carried next year, though
the Liberals would gladly avoid giving a
pledge in order to induce the Conserva-
tlves to propose unpleasant taxation that
would prove Instantaneous To them at a
general election.
The Conservatives are signing IA me
moral TO Lord Salisbury asking him to
refuse office unless II pledge be obtained
from the Liberals.
LONDON, June 10 Negotiations be-
tween Liberals and Conservatives are pro
ceeding through medium Of the queen.
Salisbury urges if the re distribuiion seat
bill is finally passed, Conservatives will he
deprived of their constitutional alterna-
tive OF appealing to the country, should
Liberals unfairly hamper the conduct of
public business, Therefore. Salisbury,
unexpectedly, after taking legal advice OIL
the subject, decided not to allow the seat
bill to pass into a law until further con
versation has been had. 1t is impossible
for the new bill to "Jme into operation
before November. hence Lord Salisbury
insists upon having Liberal pledges not
to w%ilfully obstruct the Conservative
leaders. The Conservatives are alarmed
at the tone Of Chamberlains recent
speeches which denote an intention on
his part to harrass the Conservatives to
his utmost The Conservatives insist
hat the Liberals will yet be compelled to
accept Lord Salisbury terms.
