An opinion from Abroad.

today in a long and friendly article on the
career of Hon. William Walter Phelps de-
clares that the appointment of one of the
staunch adherents of Mr.. Blaine to so i'm
portant post as that Of Minister to Berlin,
at the very time when rumors of Blaine's
retirement from the State Department were
being persistently circulated, was abundant
proof that the influence of James G. Blaine
was not on the decline. President Harrison,
says the Gazette, could give no higher proof
Of his confidence in his Premier than he fur
nishes by this appointment.

Election Inv Changes.

A number of communications have been
received by the attorney general asking his
opinion touching the election of supervisors
in counties under township organization, as
provided in the act of 1889, amending section
Z OF the election law The law provides that
at the first general election in each township,
after the adoption of township organization,
one supervisor shall be elected in each town
ship, and thereafter one in each odd num-
bered year in the odd numbered townships,
and each even numbered year in the even
numbered townships. The act also provides
that the townships must be numbered by the
county board at their first regular meeting
after the passage of the act. The attorney
general holds that the effect of the law will
be to hold the supervisors who live in the
even numbered townships IN office until
1890, aud aJ the election this fall the super
visors will be elected from the odd mum.
bered townships; that the object of the law
was to have one-halt of the number of the
supervisors who were familiar with the
needs of the county always in office. In this
connection, in answer to queries, the
attorney general also took occasion to say
that he would file an opinion in a day or two
touching the consttutionality of the act in
creasng the pay of supervisors from 81 TO 81
per day. 1t is understood that this opinion
will apply only to the increased pay Of super
yisors in office July j, to the close OF their
terms.

ported observations Of his on the sub
ject showed that he Is not friendly to
increasing the coinage, and while un-
doubtedly he would not interpose to de-
feat legislation to that end. il is hardly
to he expected that he would uso his
influence to promote IL. AS to the
views OF the president, nothing
can be affirmed with any degree
of certainty. He is OF course
favorable TO silver as o part of the cur
rency, but neither he would have more
OF it or merely maintain the present
ra;e of coinage is unknown except to
himself. The question will undoubt-
edly receive his attention when he ad-
dresses congress.
After the tariff, the next congress
will have no more important matter to
consider than this, and the probability
is that it will be among the earliest
questions presented for its considera-
ton. Meanwhile the Paris monetary
conference will have completed its de-
liberations, the result OF which may
have very considerable influence in
determining the action of congress.

carefully prepared beforehand was read and

$40. Regular meetings will be held on the
first Tuesday in each month. The business
of the society is given over to board of
twelve managers of which the mayor is an

templates the appointment of prosecuting
attorney and special agents who will be
vested with police powers.
