certainly bears the ear-marks of the pro-
found, dfgnified and accurate disquisi-
ton of the English leader writer when
dealing with American affairs "Ameri-
can advlces indicate that much interest
centers IN the fall elections TO be held In
the United States. Mr.. Robert Burdette,
an American statesman and politician,
boldly predicts that Mr.. Cleveland and
cabinet viii not resign in the event Of q
Democratic defeat In October; but it is
not TO be presumed that the new admin
istration would so far ignore the admon-
itions OF contemporary events and the
silent dictates OF immemorial usage, as
to continue to hold Office in the face of
an adverse popular verdict. If the pres

the presidency. and that Senator Morton
of Indiana, Mr.. Jefferson Davis of Rhode
Island and Mr.. Gail Hamilton of Missis-
sippi will have positions in the new

A MINORITY to Protest.

HARRISBURG, Penn, Aug. 15.-It is
confidentially asserted in some official
circles that the state attorney general
will interfere to prevent the coneumma.
tion of bargain between Vanderbilt
and the railroad company by which the
South Pennsylvania and Beach Creek
railway comes under the control of the
Pennsylvania railway. Section of al tt
Gle II of the constitution specif-
cally prohibits the consolidation
or merging Of competing roads or others
carrying corporations. The South Penn
sylvauia and Beach Creek roads were
chartered by the state since the adoption
OF the constitution of 1873 and conse-
quently became amendable to its prohi.
bition causes. The shareholders IN the
two corporations to be absorbed will ap-
ply TO the attorney general for q msnda-
mus TO prohibit majority OF the share
holders from dispoeing of the franchises
granted 10 the roads in that
way and the attorney general will rule
in their favor aud ask the governor to
revoke the charters. Lawyers express
the belief thst this. course will defeat
VandeEbilt's scheme ami compel him TO
proceed with the work of building the
roads or forfeit his interest amounting
to something like 5000, 900.
