Little more time win seemingly be occupied
In the trial Of Thomas 3. Kerr on the charge
of having bribed certain members Of the Board
of Aldermen of 1884. tits announced that the
summing UP of the lawyers will begin to-day.
There have been no surprises in this second
trial of the defendant. The evidence on both
sides has been substantially the.same as that
given last May. At that time the jury dis
agreed, standing eight for conviction TO four for
acquittal. Greater unaninity on the part Of
the jurors is hoped for now.
The 5000 weayers who have gone on strike
1T Fall River have consented to submit the
matter to arbitration, after being !" OUT three
days. II is commonplace truism in labor
discussions that arbitration should precede
rather than follow the fact of striking. A
strike is, of necessity, ,demoraIizing and waste
full, aud whenever one is contemplated every
effort ought TO be made to prevent il. The
Fail River manufacturers now declare that
they viii not agree TO any advance Of wages.
IL Is to be hoped, however. that By spirit Of
Cancellation on both sides an ainicable adjust
mont viii be speedily reached, since pro-
ioneation of the struggle will entail much loss
and suffering ia other manufacturing cities
dependent on the product OF the Fall River
mills.
The case Of The Times7--if 2 The Timeso
can be said to have had case since the letters
which were its main reliance were shown up
in their true ight--came to o close before the
Commission yesterday, and an adjournment
was taken until April 2, when the defence
Of Mr.. Parneil and his associates win be
opened. Il is reasonable to suppose that in
the meantime an interim report on the letters
viii be made by Sir James Hammer and Jus
tices Day and Smith, though on that point
no definite assurance has been given. In con-
nection with this no one win fail TO note the
remarkable enthusiasm with which Mr.. Parnell
was greeted in ST. Jamess Hall last night
He made scathing speech, afraignins the
Government both for its harsh policy toward
ireland and. it's course in the matter Of the
forged letters.

that have omanated from this town, IT Is doubt

The prosecution of the French leaders Of the
Patriotic League is the sequel to the Cossack
dlibustering expedition on the Red Sea. A
Russian adyenturer, named Atchinof, support
ed undoubtedly by. secret funds furnished by
Panslayist societies, organized a small military
force for operations on the Aby@inian frontier
against the Italians. The Cossacks were &C
companied by priests, whose aid was desired
in convincing Abyssinian priests that their
Church was or ought DO be in sympathy with
the Russian Orthodox Church. The object of
the raid was to iDstigate an assault by King
Johns forces upon the Italian positions
Atchinof made the fatal mistake Of landing
at obock, on French territory, occupying fort
named SagallO, and raising the Russian flag.
The French commander resented the invasion.
attacked the fort, and compelled the garrison
to surrender as prisoners Of war. The Russian
Government has disclaimed res ponsibility for
the expedition, and seems indisposed TO quarrel
with France for protecting It's own territories.
The bombardment of Sagallo, while iustifable,
is regarded in Paris as most unfortunate
blunder, since France has virtually been
brought into conflict with the only Power In
Europe with which an alliance can be formed
In q great war. France is jealous Of Italy, and
is exasperated by the thought Of having aided
1t against Russia.
The new French Ministry was mercilessly
criticised when the affair was discussed ia the
Chamber. 1t undertook to saddle the respon-
sibility upon the French Admiral, who was
censused for acting with precipitate haste and
violence, albeit clearly within the lines Of his
duty in defending the coasta The Forai on
Minister proposed that the Chamber should
pass q resolution expressing its good feeling
for the Russian people This extraordinary
expedient was adopted BY unanimous vote
The Patriotic League, which is mainly recruit
ed from the Boulangst ranks, ought to have
been satisfied with this National apology TO
Russia for rspsIling en- unwarantable invasion
Of French territory. It's leaders perceived that
there was q good opportunity for appealing 10

had proved ussful to Italy, They issued an

Good Example to Follow.

The new capitol schemers have referred
to the Legislature of Massachusetts, to
help them In their plan Of getting at the
money Of the State. An examination of
the facts clearly shows that as to location
Boston lends no sanction to the Portland
scheme. But the example Of Massachu-
sets as 10 increase Of her State House
accommodations is very suggestive. The
following from the Boston Journal is Of a
recent date.
Mr.. II. A. Cram, the author Of the State
House plans that won the second prize, Mr..
j. l.. Fsxon being associated with him, has
but recently returned from Europe, where
he has been studying architecture. He was
one of the successful ten architects in the
Court House plans, and has constructed a
number of buildings in Western New York
as well as Boston. The plan of Mr.. Cram
and Mr.. Faxon contemplates an addition tina,
will make the State House q complete build
ing instead of serving as an annex
1t is well to remember that Massachu
sets ia very rich State, worth many
times more than Maine, yet her financial
managers are not accustomed to expend
the taxes of her people on extravagant.

publcans of their Legislature know well
that they will be held responsible for the
doings of the State Government, and are
not inclined to give their opponents the
advantage Of any questionable tiansac-

Those who wish to have the details
showing the intrinsic importance of the
islands now attra, ting 80 much attention
will be interested in the following facts
taken from the report Of Consul Green
baum in 1885:
Samoa is the native name Of the group
Of volcanic islands in the Central Poly
nesia, long known AS the Navigator
Islands. They are about 800 miles from
San Francisco, and about 5000 from syd-
ney. The mountains Of Savaii. one OF
them 400 feet high, are visible so miles

800 whites. 1.-The natives are the LATEST set

The soil is Of the best, susceptible Of pro-

IL has been often denied that violence
tramples down popular government in
Texas. In the United States Senate last
week the election outrages In Texas were
under discussion. Senator Evart Of New
York cannot be accused Of partisan ami
mostly and undue prejudice towards any
body Of men North or South. He has q
proper sense Of his responsibility as a
senator and statesman, and he does not
speak except after due consideration.
Mr.. Evarts spoke In substance as fol-
lows:
He began by . review of the canvass and
election in Washington county, Texas, in
1886 A well conceived and clearly ex-
pressed petition from three prescribed rapub.
licans. Messrs. Hawksworth, Elmore and
Schultz had been presented to the Senate.
After the reading of the petition, Mr. Evarts
said the grievances which the petitioners suf-
fered had no other cause than the activity Of
the petitioners in that canvass 10 support Of
the principles of the republican party.
The committee had found tina, those citi-
zens could not be accused of any misconduct.
such as should place them outside the ordi-
nary relations which belong to peaceful and
quiet citizens. A large proportion of the
white population of Washington county
Texis, was composed of Germans, who were
good farmers and good citizens. One thousand
and SIX hundred of these Germans were re-
publcans. Calculated of the white voters
alone, this was a republican majority of 300
TO 800. The black and white population
was about equal in numbers. The repub
lean party had been in possession of local
power in the county, from the close of the
war, up to 1884, when q more vigorous eff
fort was made on the part Of those opposed
to that party to give supremacy to the oppo-
site party.
There had been grave interference with
thesuffrsge at four precincts in the county
at that election, and the conflict ended in the
success of the Republican party. He recited
various details of the troubles at the polls in
1854 and 1856. and read a paragraph from
the report of the committee. He said the
great que 'tion came to be whether there was
to be tolerated in this country an authority
and persistent power which was to set aside
the government of the constitution and the
laws.

What the Mormous Oppose

As it could readily be conceived from
hopes and tendencies, it has no real friend
ship for popular education. The Utah
Territorial Commissioner of Schools has
submitted his report for the year 1885
According to this report, taxation in
Utah ia altogether insufficient to paw the
expenses of free school system, and
tuition is charged to pay the salaries of
teachers, thus depriving thousands of the
children of the poor Of an education. The
Mormon Legislature is opposed to all
schools in which the Mormon doctrine is
not taught. or the children of school age
in the territory about 81 900 are children
of Mormon parentage and about 5000 of
gentle parentage. Wherever Mormonism
exists one comes In contact with that
which is not akin to American institutions.
The theocracy Is anti-American.
The appropriation of public
moneys for deDominational prop
agandism is an ofense against American
gerous attacks on our free high school
system are such onsets as this Of the Lat
ter Day Saints. 1t Is fair to presume that
the Mormon leaders would continue to be
hostile to popular education should Utah
be admitted into the Union rs State.
Until the Gentle, or truly American pop
ulation, becomes dominant in that Terri
tory it will be unsafe and inexpedient to
admit Utah into the Union as State.
While the Bourbon democracy Of the
country would like to see the Mormon
Territory placed on par with Dakota
and Washington, the Republican party
and some influential Democrats are
strongly opposed and thus the danger of
Mormon State Will be obviated.

that "in these DAYS of railroads and tele-

Plainly enough the Bath editor has not
