The San Francisco Chronicle. in
late issue commenting on the Low
er California placer fraud, goes ou-
of its way to censure the Harqus
Hala miners. Ellsworth mining
district, in which the so-called Har
qua Hala mines are situated, has
long been known as a good and re-
liable mining camp. The new
discoveries, however, were of such
richness that the facts were pub
lished and made public. Nc
amount of misrepresentation OF
Jealousy can prevent the camp from
becoming, what it soon will be, one
of the richest on the Pacific Coast.
The Harqua Hala mines are rich,
extensive and give promise of per-
manency.

From Far-0f Alaska.

]. X. AImsby, of Chicago, who is en-
gagged in the salmon business in Alaska
in an interview al Pittsburg, on Monday
said, in speaking of the resources and
development of the country. that last
year 400, 600 cases of salmon, worth 50 =
20O. 600, was packed in that country and
sent East. The supposition that ouly
the Columbia river salmon is worth
canning is not true. In Alaska. in the
Ukon river, which had been explored
FOR a distance of 2, 800 miles, the salmon
are the best to be found in the world
He said that Governor Schweintord
had withdrawn his charge against Gov.
ernor Tingle. The charges against the
Government agent and the Alaska Com.
mercial Company were of a scandaIoss
and most revolving description. 1t was
true that Indian squaws had been kid
mapped by the latter company's men.
but in nearly every case the offenders
were found aid punished.
Mr.. Armsby said that the actual cash
royalties received by the United States
are more than the territory cost. At
tie time it was purchased the Govern
ment here gave Russia s., ,20O, 600 for
the country in recognition of the yalua,
bic aid to the North during the last civil
war. They did not buy it as an invest
ment, but the duties have paid for the
purchase many times

IT is evident, says the New York
World, that the brief session of the
Senate ends with strained relatious''
between several Republican members
of that body and the President.
The trouble comes from revival of
the old assumption that the ''advice and
consent" of Senators to appointments
should precede rather than follow nomi-
nations made 10y the President. One of
the disgruntled Seniors puts the matter
thus badly:
He has rejected our nominees, and we
have just as good a right 20 reject his. Un-
der the Constitution the Senate shares the
responsibility Of the appointing power with
the President We advise and consent that
certain people shall be appointed 20 Office.
/ have been up to the White House and
nominated half n dozen men, and the Presi-
Uent has rejected them all. | don't see why
he should bs mad because simply oppose
the confirmation Of one Of his nominees.
y more grotesquelY absurd claim than
this cOuld'scarcely be made. The Con-
stitution says that the President ''shau
nominate, and by and with the consent
of the Senate shall appoint" all officials
of the United States whose appoint
ments are not otherwise provided for.
The initiative-ths nominatiOn-Tests
wholly with the President. If he
chooses to ask the advice of Senators
in advance, that is his privilege. But
they have no right TO make their con-
sent 10 an appointment antecedent TO
the nomination rather than subsequent
70 It.
1t is right and necessary that this
should be so. The executive officers Of
the Government are the Presidents
subord!nates. He is responsible for
their conduct. He alone has the power
of removal. II an official nominated
by Senator should prove a rascal.
neither that representative nor the
body to which he belongs would have
any power over him. President Harri-
son starts in like a man who under
stands his prerogasives and intends to
assert them.

Ballot Reform.

The Wisconsin Legislature has
adopted the "AustTalian'' election law.
with some slight notifications. West
ward the course of ballot reform takes
its way. Somehow or osher it has fail
ed 20 find any ground 20 stand upon in
pennsylvania. Senator McFarlane has
introduced the Australian bill in the
Senate, and Representative Baker has
performed the same office in the House.
but since the introduction of the bill
neither House has heard anything about
it.
Two contested election cases, one in
the Senate, the other in the House. have
occupied the valuable time of the mem
bers of the committees appointed TO try
them. These cases will cost the people
a large sum os money. Under the
Australian" election law they would
hardly have occurred. The very fact
that Republicans are the contestants in
these cases is an indictment by the Re-
publicans of the two Houses of the
Legislature against the efficacy of the
present election laws.
The Republican leaders cannot ex-
cuse their opposition to the enactment
of the Australian" ballot reform bill
on the ground that no election frauds
are COuulLlou III pennsylvania and
that therefore no necessity for such a
law exists in this State. The election
contests in Philadelphia brought by
their party, in which illegal voting and
false counting have been shoa by both
sides, estOp them from putting in any
such plea. Without doubt similar con-
tests might have been made with simi-
lar developments in almost any repre-.
| sentative district IN Philadelphia and
in many districts throughout the State.
The election laws of PENNSYLVANIA
are not protection but a menace to
the legally qualified voter. The ballot
in this State is not secret, for the
tickets may now be printed in such a
manner that every mans ballot can be
known by its label. Intimidation NAV
be practiced and is frequently resorted
to. The corrup: voter gets his price
wherever he bids for it. The tickets
are ''buEched" in the count and capdi,
dates are at the mercy of the election
/ boards. These facts are known tc
every Intelligent member of the Ispis-
lature, and yet no voice is heard in
either House IN advocacy of the needed
ballot reform. This model Legisla,
ture" seems to have been narcotiZed Sc
that 1t cannot arouse itself on this
STANDARDIZATION Patriot.

Mr.. Halstead's Rejection.

The rejection of Murat Halstead for
Minister to Berlin involves some public
considerations that are of more moment
than the party or personal aspects of the
case. Mr.. Halstead did not encounter
the hostility of the Senate by reason of
any want of fitness for this position /;
on the contrary, his political experience,
capacity, and knowledge of the politi-
cal relations, public men and language
of the German nation peculiarly fitted
him for the best of Ministers to Berlin.
But Mr.. Halstead had the misfortune
to offend the Senate, and the spirit Of
the corporation spoke out in this act OF
rejection. In the course of his labors
as journalist he had more than once
taken occasion TO discuss the compost
tion and character of the Senatorial
body. He had shown that many men,
bers of the Senate owed their seats to
the corrupt use OF money and the power
of corporations over venal State Legis-
Iatures 1t is not strange that the Sen.
ate should seize such an opportunity to
wreak its vengeance upon the offending
journalist. The offended Senators were
all the more bent on revenge because Of
tie consciousness that in his attacks upon
their corporation he was defending the
puDliC Va Lc II Ouc DI
the stoutest of champions as long as his
judgment is not ooscured by the zeal of
the partisan.
One important lesson taught anew by
this example is the urgent necessity of
rsoTganiZing the Senate on a basis in
harmony with thu spirit OF Republican
institutions. Holding their seats for
periods of six, twelve and often
eighteen years, not by the suffrages of
the people, bat through the choice of
State Legislatures, which frequently
yield to the most corrupt influences, il
is impossible that the membership of
the Senate should be in touch with the
public interests Yet to a political
corporation so constituted is given con-
troll not merely over the legislation of
the country, but in a large degree over
the Executive Department of the Gov
ernment. Instead of representing the
interests of the people the Senate has
become the safe harbor of corporate
power, monopolistic privilege and polit-
ical abuse. If the foolish attack of the
Senate upon the freedom of the press
in the person of Murat Halstead shall
arouse the American people to the ne>
cessity for its thorough purgation his
rejection may serve far better public
purpose than any that he could accom-
plish as Minister to Berlin.-Phila. Re
cord.

ST. LOUIS gave Harrison some 6, ZOO
majority. On Tuesday the Democrats
carried it by 1000. Chicago gave
Cleveland 1000. and on Tuesday the
Democrats carried the city by 1900.
a correspondent says of the canvass in
that city preceding the late election !:
at is safe to say that, with the ex-
ceptiOn Of the last presidential election,
the Republicans have spent three times
rs much money as ever before. Prom
ises OF Federal and municipal patronage
have been made without stint. In this
way numerous Irish Democrats, influ.
entail as ward leaders, have been won
over. The Democrats have not been
well organized, aud their campaign has
been poorly conducted. while tie Re-
publicans, anxious for an Endorsement
Of HarrisOn's administration, have
strained every nerve" And the result
Is II, 600 majority for the head o. the
Democratic ticket.
The local elections this week in Ohio.
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Iowa
have shown such decided Democratic
gains they cannot be accounted for by
the accidents of municipal contests.
The drift has been one way. Probably
the principal reason is the iet.up in the
use IL money, incident TO the exhaus-
tive struggle last Noyem5er. The Pro-
tected interests were not called on to
contribute, and the block of five busi-
ness was not invoked.

A DISPATCH was received at Wash
ington on Saturday by the Navy Des
partment stating that in a terrific hurri-
csne which swept over the Island of
Samoa, three American and four Ge--
man men of war were lost. The
American vessels wrecked were the
Trenton. Vandalia and Nipsic. OF the
American crews, four officers and 46
men we're drowned and of the German
crews nine officers and eighty>seven
men lost their lives. The news of the
disaster created j profound sensation
ct the Navy Department, and great dis,
tress TO those who had friends and re.
latives on board the i'll fated vessels.
The disaster was one of those mysteri-
Gus and unforeseen visitations OF Provi-
dence which human forethought could
not have averted. The officers in CON-
mand Of the vessels were competent
men and had doubtless adopted all
proper precautions against disaster, but
these hurricanes which assumed cy-
clonic proportions were simply irresist-
ible, as was proved by the extent OF the
loss OF vessels.

Thomas Jefferson.

The heritage Of free institutions en-
joyed by the people OF the United States
has come 10 be such a matter-of course
and usual possession that, like the air
We breathe, It's value Is unconsidered.
II is well enough 10 look back once in
while at the beginning of our national
growth. IN order to more clearly under
stand the drift of the current on which
we move forward. There IS no better
time for such a retrospect than today,
the anniversary OF the birth or Thomas
jefferson.
No man of the Revolutionary era sue
ceeded in imprsssing his ideas upon the
nsscent STATE to like extent with the
Father of the Democracy. He was firm
in the faith that men could govern
themselves and the right to vote has
been imbedded in our fundamental laws
so that the opportunity of governing
ourselves cannot be wrested from us.
AS long as our Republic was compare
lively weak and poor the necessity of
self-defense and of Outstanding our
slender resources gave a spur TO patrio-
tic impulse and the desire for the pubic
welfare. Jeffersonianism made a splen-
did staIt. But we are no longer held
together as were the men of the Revo-
luton, who were afraid they might
hang apart. AS the Nation has become
rich and powerful, and as the body of
the people has been enlarged by accre-
tions from foreign shores. citizenship
has been wonderfully cheapened.
1t is doubtful what Mr.. jefferson
might think OF the Democratic expert
ment if he had been permitted to bear
a part in the recent Federal election, or
If he could scan with his philosophical
eyes the inner workings OF our Con-
crosses and Legislatures. The voters
of the country seem to lave lost their
hold upon it. Our legislators are not
dominated so much by desire for the
public welfare as by designs for the
promotion OF private ends- Capital sits
enthroned in the Senate house. The
ballot box has been grievodsly corrupted.
Upstart political traders undertake to
dictate the policy of Administrations.
Corporations arTogantly tIifia with the
rights and seize upon the property OF
communities they were created to serve.
Taxes are so laid as 10 pull down one
class OF industries In order to build up
another class of industries. The SOW
ereign power reserved in the hands of
the voters is not used to remedy the Ills
from which they suffer. On the ruins
of our Democracy we seem to be trying
to establish plutocracy.
Would IL not be grand thing for the
voters of the country TO resume busi-
ness on Jeffersonian principles This
day may be excellentlg spent in medi-
tatiug upon the advantages of self
government and the mears of putting
the Republic back in the old grooves.

The Why OF il.

RICHMOND, VA, April 1.-The con-
test between rival factions here for the
Richmond postmastership has assumed
a singular phase. 1t is now stated that
President Harrison has rendered the of
fee to Mrs. SIonewall jackson. This
lady lived here until few years since.
when her daughter was married. She
has been living with her father in North
Carolina during the past six months.
Her father had reached very advanced
age, for which reason she declined the
tender of the pOstoffice at Lexington,
Va, where the body Of her husband is
buried. Her friends here will, how
ever. eDdeayor 10 induce her to accept
the Richmond postmsstership. which is
stated that the President thinks that
by appointing Mrs. jackson he will not
have TO recognize either OF the contend
ing Republican factions here and will
at the same time give the position 10 a
lady held in high esteem by all.

y NUMBER OF acts have been intro
Legislature for the improvement os
highways, aud the building and repair
ing of bridges. The principal provis-
ions OF the bill which seems to meet
with the most favor at Harrisburg are
as follows beginning with 1890 the
electors Of each township are TO elect 3
road commissioners for 3, ? and 1 year
respectively, and after that for years.
These officers are to determine in April
of each year the amount necessary to
make and repair the roads and bridges
of their townships-the amount not to
exceed 10 mills, Including one days
work, which every male taxable ever 81
years of sge shall work or cause TO be
worked on the public roads in addition
to the levy made upon his valuation.
The road commissioners are TO give
bonds. They are to lay out the town
ships into road districts and appoint a
road master in each district. These
road masters are to notify persons ot the
amount of their tax, collect the same,
and expend it wisely and economically
in repairing roads and bridges. If the
amount is sufficient, and a majority of
tax payers petition therefor, they can
levy an additional sum not exceeding 3
mills. The property of delinquents is
TO be levied upon for their tax. These
road masters are 10 keep the roads in
good repair. Each township is to have
its treasurer. The latter is not TO get
more than J. per cent. OF all monies
paid out by him the road commission
ers not more than 81. 80 per day, and the
road masters not more than 81 per day.
Road commissioners are to be fined $40
and masters SO for neglect OF duty.
New roads are to be laid out by viewers,
whose report is to be first acted upon by
the court, and the road commissioners
and masters are then TO construct the
road. Viewers shall also act on the
vacation of unnecessary and useless
roads upon the application of 20 tax
payers. II any community asks for a
public bridge the court shall appoint 3
viewers who shall act on the same. If
in their opinion the cost is too great
for the township TO bear, then the mat
ter shall be laid before the grand jury,
and the latter shall decide as TO wheth-
er or not the county commissioners
shall build it. II townships where su-
peryisors of roads are overseers of the
poor, the road commissioners shall
hereafter be overssers of the poor.
