THE Constitution adopted so recent
ly as 1878 provides, inter AHA, that mo
law shall extend the term of any pub.
lie officer, or INCREASE or DIMINISH
his salary or emOluments, after his
election or appointment" Therefore,
no judge now upon the bench will re-.
ceive any benefit from the passage of
the new salary bill, if it should pass
the House and be approved by Gov.
ernor Beaver, unless he should at some
future time be re elected. The effect
Of the passage Of the bill, therefore,
will not be felt very much until some
years hence. Of course, it is to be
assumed that persons who are daily
imposing penalties upon others for
violations of the law, as the judges
are, will not violate the law themselves
by taking the increased salary. And
even if some should be disposed to
take the money, they will doubtless be
constrained to refrain by two consid.
erations: The effect it would have
upon their regulations and their
chances of reelection; and the fear
that some enemy might allege the
taking as reason for their impeach.
meut. Thus the present Supreme
Court judges and very many of the
older Common Pleas judges will never
receive any advantage from this pro.
posed increase. We do not believe
that the projectors of the new salary
bill had this provision of the Consti.
tuition in mind when they devised that
generous distribution of State cash.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular Correspondent

From our regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, April 5, 1889.
The President is at last getting a
~ifiiFsss~breathing time, now that the
Senate has adjourned and the Office
seekers have been notified that he pro.
poses to take his own time in making
the rest of the appointments. The
total number of appointments to date
is slightly in advance of the number
made by Cleveland during the same
time. A large number of important
positions remain to be filled, and they
will be, just as soon as the President
can get an opportunity to decide upon
the right men for them. Among these
places may be mentioned that of Min.
lister to China, the Public Printer,
Commissioner of the General Land
Office, Commissioner of Indian affairs
and Superintendent of the Bureau oi
Engraving and Printing, for each OF
which there are number of prominent
candidates.
/ have it on excellent authority that
the rejection of the nomination Of
Murat Halstead to be Minister to
Germany by the Senate will not pre-.
vent that gentleman's being sent there
The President, according to my in
formant, believes that by next Decem.
ber those Republican Senators who
for personal reasons voted against the
confirmation of Mr.. Halstead's nomi
nation, will have seen the mistake
they made and be prepared to confirm
him. At any rate it is thought they
are to be given an opportunity Of
doing so and that Mr.. Halstead will
shortly receive his appointment al
Minister to Germany, the duties o.
which position he will perform from
the date of his arrival at Berlin until
the Senate shall reject him again
which the President does not believe
it will do. All this however is merely
the opinion of some who think they
know, while there are others who say
Mr.. Halstead would never accept the
appointment under such circumstances
Before adjourning the Senate con
firmed nearly all the nominations
made by the President. Among the
few unaeted upon were those OF E. L
Kursheedt to be u. S. Marshal for the
Eastern District of Louisiana, and w
II. Whiteman to be Associate Justice

for Gods blessing on the Government
and its first President. The centennial

pirate to the day. In order that the
joy of the occasion may be associated
with deep thankfulness in the minds
of the people for all our blessings in
the past, and devout supplication to
God for their gracious continuance 10
the future, the representatives of the
religious creeds, both Christian and
Hebrew, have memorialized the Gov.
ernment to designate an hour for
prayer and thanksgiving on that day.
Now, therefore, |. Benjam Harri.
son, President of the United States of
America, in response to this pious and
reasonable request, do recommend that
on Tuesday, April 80, at the hour OF 8
o'clock in the morning, the people of
the entire country repair to their re-.
spective places of divine worship to
implore the favor of God, that the
blessings of liberty, prosperity and
peace may abide with us as a people,
and that His hand may lead us in the
paths of righteousness and good deeds.
In witness whereof | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States of America to be affixed.
Done in the city of Washington this

Of the Supreme Court of New Mexico
The first State reception of the
present administration took place on
Tuesday evening. 1t was held il
honor of the Prince and Princess
Takehito, of Japan, who are making
tour of America. The following
was the receiving party; The Presi
dent and Mrs. Harrison, Secretary
Proctor and Mrs. Blaine, Secretary
Blaine and Mrs. Window, Secretary
Tracy and Mrs. Wilmerding, Secre.
tsry and Mrs. Rusk, DR.. Scott and
Mrs. Scott-Lord, father and sister OF
Mrs. Harrison, Mr.. and Mrs. Mckee,
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell Harrison, Miss
Margaret Blaine and Miss Mason,
Secretary Halford and Miss Lima
Mckee.
A delegation of Brooklyn, N. Y,
G. A. 4. men called on the President
this week aud presented him with a
resolution of thanks adopted by all
the Posts of that city, for the appoints.
ment of Corporal Tauner as Commits.
sioner of Pensions.
Considerable comment was caused
here by the action of the Senate OF
the day of its adjournment in regard
to resolution Of Senator Stewards
expressing the sorrow of the Senate at
the death of the illustrious English
Statesman, John Bright. Everybody
thought the resolution would be passed
unanimously, as this country was
under deep and lasting obligations to
Mr.. Bright for the fearless manner in
which he stood by the Union during
the rebellion. Great, therefore was
the surprise when it was decided to
refer the resolution to the committee
on foreign affairs, on the ground that
its adoption might establish a prece.
dent which would possibly make
trouble in the future. There is not
likely to be another John Bright soon,
and therefore most people think the
fears of the Senate we're groundless.
Before the Senate's adjournment
Senator Teller offered a resolution
which be stated he would not call up
for action until the regular session.
1t was to the effect that hereafter all
executive nominations should be con
sidered in open session of the Senate.
In few remarks on the subject he
said: 81 believe the time has come
when public sentiment will not tolerate
the closing of our doors on mere mat.
ters of confirmation. / believe that
the practice is one of the agencies that
is calculated to bring the American
Senate into disrepute and into con.
tempt; for the people will believe
(under the charges that are made day
by day, that we are afraid to express
our views in public) that there is some
truth in them"
Mr.. VIM. Bradley, of Kentucky.
who was nominated for the Corean
mission, has declined the position.
Then there are some men who do not
want office.

ing a bribe in connection with the prize

sides they have been of great assistance Ia
him, SO they will not be indicted.

Educational Convention.

NASHVILLE, July l9.-The educational
association this morning listened to a
paper on Sound Blindness which was
compared to color blindness, and declared
as prevalent and important to be cured.
Education IN the South was also discussed.
A noticeable feature of the present
meeting Of the educational association is
the unusual interest manifested in the
subject OF kindergarten training. The
doors of the Masonic theater had to be
closed this afternoon to keep back a por,
ton of the throng. Department Presi.
den, Sheldon, of Massachusetts, read a
congratulatory telegram from Mrs. Sena-
tor Stanford, of the Golden Gate Kinder
gartee Association, Of San Francisco, to
which a suitable reply was ordered sent by
the convention.
''Ihe kindergarten in its relation to
motherhood was discussed by Mrs.
Sarah Cooper of California and Mrs.
Putnam of Illinois. Col. Parker of Chi
cago, spoke on the importance ola sys-
TEN OF instruction in .kinderGartens and
schools which would preserve the natural
innocence and purity of early childhood.
The board of directors and the association
voted this afternoon to hold the next
years meeting in St. Paul, MINI, if IA
vorable arrangements could be made,
