rnnrri.on,s Consistency.

Philadelphia Telegraph.
rhe unfriendiy critics OF President
Harrison fail we think, to do justice to
the controlling virtue OF consistency.
He does not profess one thing and do an
other. Shortly after his inauguration he
laid down the broad principle that "the
only way 60 get satisfaction out of
public office in to please yourself while
you are in it," That is q principle which
the Mugwumpswould probably object to,
as being at variance with their creed, that
public Office is q public trust" That
is a purely utopian idea. Practically,
public Office is public spoil, or, to soften
the phrase, personal reward for services
rendered to the candidate or the party.
The Presidents idea ia the practical,
common sensible one, and the one that is
TO day recognized as quite correct.
The men of the Washington, Madison,
Jefferson, Lincoln sort accepted public
office as stewardship, they being sery-
ants only of the country, bound in honor,
trnth and patriotism TO faithfully serve
II in Ropi conscience and with Ell their
ability. They served for the honor, for
tho good that they might do, not for pelt
OK power-but that sort OF statesman is
extinct. Thomas Jefferson, for instance,
once said whom pressed to appoint rel.
alive to office:
The public will never be made to believe
thut the appointment Of relative Is made
on the ground Of pure merit alone, unin-
tiuenee1 by family views, nor can they
ever $50 with appreciation Offices the dis
posal OF which they intrust to their Presl-
dent for public purposes divided out as
family property.
This shows what sorry old fogy JEFF
ferson was, and how i'll he would have
fitted into tho practical politics Of tho
present time. President Harrison takes
AZ entirely different view Of his duty,
aud his conduct lie thoroughly consistent
with It. Here is the family list Of sp-
poiutments revised to date by tho Albany
Ar9tGs, and a very rich list il is;
1. The Presidents brother.

BEHRIHG SEA.
A Significant Utterance on Great
IHritainss Altitude.


MONTREAL, Aug. 8.--A cable dispatch
to the Gdzstte from London says: 1.-THE
imperial authorities have decided that
British rights must be protected from
outrage in the Behring Sea. The belief
here is that when the United States see
the determined attitude Of Great Britain
in support Of Canada they will no longer
obstruct speed and peaceful settlement,
Pauncefote, Salisbury and Kuntstord
havs been in constant communication
during the last few days. Journals OF
all shades OF opinion maintain the ille-
gality and indefensibility of the United
States action"
The Gasette, speaking of the above,
says: "Phe seizure, though it had such
ridiculous ending, gives promise Of re-
sulting more satisfactorily than was ex'
pected, end may directly bring about 8
settlement of much veJsd question.
The cable dispatches announce tina,
Salisbury has taken the matter up and
will support the Canadians in their just
rights. That these include free entry
into Behriny sea cannot he denied. II
the matter can once be made the subject
of fsiT-minded negotiation or referred to
the arbitration of on independent power,
there can be no doubt of the result"

VIcKsBURd, Miss, Aug. 8.-Tbe first
meeting between Governor Lowry and
John L. Sullivan is described as highly
interesting episode Of the champions
journey. The governor happened to
board tho train bearing the Sullivan
party at jacks n, bound for Meridian.
The car of Colonel j. G. Clarke, super
inteadent OF the Mobile u Ohio road was
attached to the train. This colonel, learn
ing that the governor was aboard, invited
him to ride with him in his private car,
which Invitation was accepted. When
tho train was nearing Meridian, inst after
dark, the governor, hearing Sheriff Chiles'
voice, looked up and behold John l.. Sui
livan standing in front OF him. Sheriff
Qhilea said:
"Governor, at Mr.. sulliyan's request,
l have brought him back to SEQ you"
John L., with hat ia hand, sei6 in SUBJ
stance: Yes, your exoellency. l wanted
to pay my respects to you. have no
idea that you have any i'll feelings toward
me personally, and want TO say to your
exoellenoy that / have no hard feelings
toward you and do not blame you for
doing your duty nc the governor of your
state. But, governor, il you knew me
well you would know that am not bad
hearted nan. do not want to break
your laws. did not know that the fight
was to come Cd in Mississippi until the
last minute, when it was too late for me
to remedy it; ii was then fight or to be
called coward. You would be like l
was. You wouldn't allow them to call
you coward without fighting. wish
you WE'LL and hope that you may have
success in life, and all your eGorts to en-
force laws, which, assure you, had no
intention OF breaking; and l am your
warm and personal friend, John l.. Sulli-
van.n
John Il then bowed himself out. The
governor, in his courteous way, simply
acknowledged the greeting. Colonel
Clarke turned 80 aim, as the big fellow
went out the door, and said:
Governor, he said that pretty we'll,
didnt he? lie ia q ;nan OF more intelli'
gence than had expected"
Tae governor has not given his i'm.
preston OF Sullivan yet; but those who
wers near say that il was plain that tbs

that the Government was doing as well
as any one else. But did not fix the rate
