An important case relating to the purchase OF
certain stolen Government bonds was decideu
Yesterday in the United States Supreme Court.
After the Treasury call for bonds in july
1878. some of the bonds stolen from the Man
haitian Savings Bank, in this city, were pur-
chased by certain firms who acted in good faitn
and did not know that the holders of them had
no title to the same OF course when the Donds
were presented at the Treasury payment was
refused on account of the adverse claim Oh the
Manhattan. The Supreme Court decides that
the refusal to pay was proper because the
brokers were purchasers of overdue paper ana
not entitled to the protection of the rule when
would otherwise have shielded their title.

Neither in public nor private life is a mans
dignity best preserved by raising great row
over fancied affront. 1t would have been
good thing if certain members of the House
had remembered this yesterday. Then they
would have refrained, probably, from making
themselves ridiculous. Squabbles for prece-
dcnce are particularly out of place In Republic;
and when one comes right down to facts the
truth is that the Senators will be present as
officials at the Inauguration ceremonies on
Wednesday, while members of the House of the
XLVIIIth Congress will be there only as pri-
vate citizens.

70 bear the news of the fall of Kassala together
with the slaughter of its garrison. This town
has been standing siege for year or more, and
nothing has been accomplished toward its re-
lief. AS the Government explained in the
House of Commons yesterday that would be
difficult thing to DO owing to the situation of the
town. They talked just so about Khartoum,
but later they let Gordon start to rescue 1t,
and finally they set out to rescue Gordon-and
failed. If the British public gets excited about
Kassala by and by, probably relief squad will
start for the town, and if it is not destroyed by
the way it will have an excellent chance OF
reaching its destination just in time to 10 no
good.

The LabOr SituatI0n.

We are now in the last month of a sum-
mer that has been remarkable for indus
trial dullness. The iron trade could not
well be fatter and many of the largest
firms are reported to have made practically
no money for the past three years. Other
business is slack in similar or slightly less
degree. Strikes have thus resulted, and
in their swell have been heard the mutter-
terings of discontented labor. They are
not SO loud now that summer is here. No
coal is needed to fight the chill November
blast, and its use for cooking purposes is
much dispensed with by the poor while
cheap fruit and vegetables are in season.
Then again, one may lie out under the
summer sky for night with little physical
danger. The heated spell, annoying as it
is, is more easily tided over by the very
poor. For them thetug of war comes when
the ground is covered with snow and the
double problem of no food and no work
occasionally rises to haunt their vision.
This is why the situation for the coming
winter is viewed by some with grave APP
prehension. There are sleight-of-hand
economists who dismiss the whole ques-
tion with the wise saying that the Ameri-
can laborer must curb his spendthrift
habits and if he does not, let the conse-
quences fall upon his own head. They will
point to the example of French file
maker receiving forty cents day who yet
managed to save four and a-half dollars in
three months. They will also adduce
illustrations of how small an amount of
food is really needed in order to sustain
human life.
These extremes TO which the saving pro-
pensity may be carried thus form the text
OF what Is regarded as an unanswerable
argument by this variety of political econ
omist. Some will 60 to the extent of
preaching against the divine command to

sorry pass as yet, and there are no indica-
tons that il ever will. The Malthusians
long ago agreed that population was en-
croaching on the means of subsistence, and
that the increase Of the first ought TO be
restrained by legislative measures. But
the world, though 5000 years old, is by no
means filed up now, and the command
that was given from the beginning that
man should earn his bread by the sweat of
his brow always implied that whoever
sought work could find it.
1t is right TO preach economy to the
American laboring man. But it is not
fair to ask him TO do hard physical work
with frame enervated by lack of whole
some food. Better his sunny, light
hearted disposition than the revolutionary

LORD HoUGHToN, better known under his
own name Of Richard Monckton Mines, was
man who did not forget that great wealth
ana noble birth entailed obligations on their
fortunate possessor. Born in 1902 the son of
county gentleman in Yorkshire, he showed
when quite young that he had large powers
of mind and manifested desire to turn them
to account He early wrote poetry of high
though not of the highest order lie trav-
eled extensively and entered Parliament in
1887, when only 2s years of age. He became
active in the religious discussions growing
out OF the TractOrian movement, and contrib
uted literally to the repeal of legal discrimis
nation against Catholics and Jews. In the
meantime his position as poet had become
more and more fixed, until some of his songs
became familiar household words in all lands
where the English language is the prevailing
form of human speech. He visited this
country several times and found personal
friends as well as admirers. He has been
active up to within few weeks, one of his
latest efforts being an appreciative address
on Wordsworth. His death even at such q
ripe age and after so much active and useful
work, will be regretted by thousands OF peo-
pie who have been drawn to him through
his writings

LANCASTER, AUGUST 70, 1885.
Hence These Tears.

Some newspapers, which ought to know
better, keep on insisting that Democratic
officials appointed to important positions
are restrained from turning out the subor-
tlinates whom they find in these places, by
the operation of the civil service laws.
This is not the case. BY deliberate de-
sign the trainers of the laws made them so
that they leave the heads of departments
and postmasters, collectors and other
federal officers controlled by such laws,
free at any time, without any
cause or notice, to dismiss any or all
of their subordinates. Whether this is or
is not a salutary provision, it is just as the
civil service refcrmers have made it and
intelligent newspapers should correct rath-
er than indulge and encourage the popular
delusion that officials are restrained in the
matter of removals as they are in appoint
ments.
For the same reason that the president
has been left by the tenure-of-ofiice statutes
practically free to unfrock his subordinates,
it is right that his chosen agents Of ad-
ministrative power should be unem-
barrassed in the dismissal of Their
deputies and assistants. Everybody who
has been placed in positions of response
bility appreciates the Importance of this
privilege, to the proper execution of pub
lie trust. Some men can work best will
some tools, and others adapt themselves Il
different sort; it is not easy always t,
tell why; and there are very few men wht
coming into a place can work out the bes
results with a machine organized to sui
the temperament of their predecessor.
.---> Mr.. Dorman b. Eaton, of the civil ser
vice commission, IN recent interview
deplores the fact that his board has n
power to review the action of the Indian
apOlis postmaster {" in dealing with poo
women who scrub floors or mend mail bags
or with poor men who clean chimneys.

Another Assault on Law.Breakers.

The ranchmen of Wyoming, Colorado,
New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho and Montana,
who have enclosed large tracts of public
lands, are likely to join their fellow law
breakers of the Indian territory in con-
demning the watchfulness and vigor with
which Grover Cleveland has dealt to them
and their work. His proclamation de-
manding the removal of fences, and prom
ising the use of all the civil and military
power of the government to promote this
object will impress these interlOpers with
the changed condition Of things and the
grim determination of the administration
to enforce the law against all violators.
There is, however, a general misappre-
hension in this matter. The belief is that
| the president had no power in the matter
until the passage of the special law in Feb
ruary last, first declaring the fencing of the
| lands TO be without authority. But the
| president had all the power he needed be-
fore the passage of that law. For the past
three or four years this fencing Of
| public lands has been going on.
| At first the work proceeded rather
| slowly. The ranchmen had not yet as
sured themselves of the friendliness of Mr..
Teller, the man who then occupied the
office of secretary of the interior. But as
they proceeded they found that he entered
no protest, and being thus encouraged they
soon had millions of acres, in many cases
areas larger than whole counties, under
fences. The attention of President Arthur
was soon directed to the matter; but he was
too busy letting things drift, or schemlng foi
a denomination, to give serious attention
| to a little matter like this.
If such an infringement has been made
upon the rights of individuals, an actor
for trespass would soon have dislodged til,
law-breakers. But the government, which
had made the law, did not take advantage
of it until these persons came to beley'
that they had acquired n kind of yestet
right, and Congress passed a supple
+, mentary or special law The proclamation
} of the president and the assurance that i
will be enforced ought TO convince nj
kind of interlopcrs on the public lands o
+, the hopeessness of getting any favor
under the present administration. 1t j
true, the president has good many thing
to look after but he evidc;tly means t
reach them iu due time, and when h
reaches them there will be neither yacilla
tion nor delay in dealing with them. |
would be well for cattlemen and all othe
: persons inclined to disobey the eighth com
mandent to know that Grover Clevelan,
is president, and that his Interpretation o
that law is simple and his method of deal
I ing straightforward and effective.
