The disturbance in Hayti assumes an alarm
ing phase and one that may involve the United
States in further unfriendly discussions with
France and Germany. Those powers are ar
rayed in the Black Republic, as they usually
are everywhere, on opposite sides, and their
diplomatic representatives have succeeded in
fostering a revolution that has completely con-
vulsed the island. The Legitime government
Is now threatened with overthrow, and the
disciplined army of Hippolyte is within twenty
miles of Port-au-Prince, inspired by victory
and wholly fearless of Legitime's ships in the
harbor. The real trouble in Hayti is that her
government is a republic only in form and the
power of her president is virtually despotic.
The population, divided on the race prejudice
between blacks and mulattoes, is incapable of
self-government and semi-barbarous. Presi-
dents come into power at the head of little ri
diculously-equipped armies and go out as often
as otherwise at the end of a drumhead court
martial, shot astride their own cofins. Foreign
Intervention is invited by the situation, and in
that the United States has very decided in
terest.

The curiosity of contin emit is satisfied by
the confessed identity of the author of the
Murchison letter. The name was genuine,
the motive for the letter honest, although
triAing, and there was neither connivance nor
collision before the fact. All that was done
up to the receipt of Lord Sackville's letter by
Mr.. Murchison Osgoodby was innocent. After
that there was a breach of courtesy and good
faith, and it can be justified only on grounds
familiar to practical hard-headed politicians
who are not prevented by scruples from hitting
a head or making point wherever they see a
good chance for either. Notwithstanding the
before-election intimations to that effect it is
not believed that the administration will bring
Mr.. Osgoodby to trial for reasonable practices
under the Revised Statutes. Treason to Sack
vile is not legally punishable.

The Rhode Island constitutional amend
ment, abolishing the property qualification for
foreign voters, has, according to the recent
registry, added 4,5S3 votes to Providence alone.
The total increase in the state is estimated at
10000, or more than one-fourth of last years
vote. The addition of SO large proportion of
new voters to the registry viii place Rhode
Island for a while among the doubtful states,
though the uncertainty viii doubtless be thor
oughly removed before q presidential election.

The attempt has been made by one or tw

The attempt has been made by one or two
outside newspapers to construe the charge
against the Commissioners Of injudicious and
legally unauthorized methods Of purchasing
District building sites, by which the District
has suffered pecuniary loss, into q partisan
attack upon President Cleveland. The Presi-
dent has not a. yet incurred any responsibility
in the matter. He has not known until recently
ofthe methods employed, and has taken no action
% yet which can be viewed as an Endorsement
of them. either direct or indirect. The question
il not q partisan one in any aspect. The two
Commissioners personally concerned in the
purchase Of the school-house and police-station
sites and the two agents employed by them are
equally divided between the two parties. The
provision of the District appropriation bill
changing the Objectionable method Of pur-
chase was carried in the House without any
division on party lines The House District
committee unanimously reported favorably the
resolution proposing that the matter be inves-
tigated. This resolution was introduced by
democrat, and the most persistent effort to
suppress IL has been made by democrat.
The question is purely business one, affecting
the pocket-books Of the taxpayers, including the
national government. Have the District Com
missioners, by an unwise and title-clouding
method Of purchasing building sites, paid Dis
trit money illegally, and, in instances, I'M
necessarily and extravagsntly to certain mid
dlemen and agents, the principal one Of whom
is connection Of one Of the COMMISSIONER
II they have, cannot the money thus illegally
paid in the past be recovered for the benefit of
the individual taxpayers and the national gov
eminent, and cannot the Objectionable method
Of purchase be prohibited for the future?

LEAGUE OF PUBLlCIS
They Organize for the Protection
of American In q tuttOns.

SARATOGA, NM :, August 25.-As the
result of consultations had with leading
publicists in forty. three States and Terri
tories, large and influential conference
of representatives from different sections
of the country was held here on Friday,
resulting in the formation of a national
league Tor the protection Of American in.
stitutions. Among those present were
Hon. John Jay and Hon. VIM. Butler, OF
New York; Rev. DR.. Miner and f. A.
Studley, of Boston; Rev. DR.. Herrick
Johnson and Slason Thompson, of Chi
cago Rev. Drs. Chester and Cary, of
Washington Rsv. DR.. Mcleod, of In
dianapolis; Rev. Joseph Cook and other
well.known men, lay and clerical.
A constitution was adopted in which
the objects OF the league are stated as
follows: To secure constitutional and
Legislative safeguards for the protection
OF the common school system and other
American institutions, and 10 prevent all
sectarian or denominational appropria-
tions of public funds
Its officers are; Hon. John Jay, of
New York, President; Rev. James B.
Dunn, of Boston, Secretary; with Vice
Presidents from the several States ard q
board of twenty-four managers. The
immediate efforts Of the league will be
directed to securing a constitutional
amendment kindred to the Edmund's
Bill of 1875, formulated by the Senate
Judiciary Committee aud supported by
the Senate by a vote OF % to 16.

Two Drunken Cities.

Two cities of Maine contend for prece-
dence as "the dIunkenest city on the
American continent"-namely, Portland
and Bangor. Portland is the home of
General Neal Dow, the father.of prohibi-
ton, while Bangor is represented in Con-
gress by that champion of prohibition,
Captain Boutelle. On the Fourth Of
July the streets of Portland swarmed
with drunken men, although the police a
few days before had seized considerable
quantities of liquor 80 as to relieve the
citizens OF temptation to indulgence. On
the evening of the Fourth the po-
lice stations were 30 overcrowded with
persons arrested for drunkenness that
many were permitted to go. In Bangor
the sale of liquor is carried on in multi
tudes of unlicensed saloons, with little
attempt at restraint.
1t would be great wrong to the people
of the cities of Portland and Bangor to
infer that they are more addicted to
drunkenness than the Inhabitants of
other cities. What is Witnessed in
Maine is simply the reaction against an
oppressive sumptuary code. 1t is the
re volt of the spirit OF manhood and per-
sonality against foolish attempts to in
terfere with the right of citizens to exer-
else their own judgment in matters of
taste, and it will occur wherever these
attempts may be made. Prohibitory
laws may be enforced upon slaves, but
freemen will not submit to them.-[ Phila-
delphia Record.

CANADIAN OOMPETIPsON.
President Van Horne Thinks His
Road is Used as a BugabOO.

CHICAGO, August 25.-President Van
Horne, of the Canadian Pacific railway,
in an elaborate interview published here
yesterday regarding the movement to
restrict the competition of Canadian
roads in the United States, says: "In
this case Judge Cooley has apparently
formed his opinion without giving the
defendant an opportunity to be heard.
The Canadian Pacific is not and never
has been an earger competitor for freight
traffic between the Eastern and the Pa
ci6c Coast States. 1t has an arbitrary
rate to pay to it's connections at both ends
OF it's lines on such traffic, and these ar
bitrary rates leave too little profit to
make the traffic worth fighting for. The
Transcontnental Association, formed in
January, 1888, and the Canadian Pacific
joinedi it at the beginning. To the end Of
January last, the first full year of the
association, out of a total Of
100000 tons of freight within
the jurisdiction of the association
the Canadian Pacific carried less thar
$4,000 tons, or about one ffty-tifth oi
the whole; this included It's own British
Columbia freight. Since January it has
carried a somewhat larger proportion,
possibly three or four per cent, but this
is far less than it is entitled to as one o.
the four or five competing lines. There
is little, if any, sincerity in the com
plants of the other Pacific lines about
the effect of its competition. The Can
adian Pacific was used by them as bug
bear in their attempt to prevent the
passage Of the Interstate Commerce Act
and its use as bugbear has been con
tined tor the purpose OF obtaining modi
fications of the act"
Speaking of the testimony given by
General Manager Towne, OF the South
ern Pacific, before the Senate Committee
Van Horne said: 1.-THE long and short Of
it seems to be that the Canadian
Pacific should be excluded from
competition with the American Pa
cifc lines because of its light
capital charges as compared with theirs,
but Mr.. Towne did not say as he might
truthfully have done, that the Canadian
Pacific was built for cash by those who
intended to permanently hold and work
it; that profits were not taken out by
construction companies as Credit Mo-
biliers, and that its bonds and stocks re-
p, p,ssented actual cash invested, not sub.
sides, but cash from private sources.
Nor did he say that in the case of bis
own line, the Central Pacific, and in the
case of some others of the Pacific lines,
enormous construction profits were taken
out, and that these enormous profits
which were divided up by the construc-
ton companies and Credit Mobiliers,
are now represented by the bonds
and stock upon which, according to Mr..
Towne, the interest and dividends are
imperiled by the competition of the Cen
trail Pacific. 1 do not believe that the
memory of the American people is as
short as Mr.. Towne seems to think. They
have not forgotten how their Pacific roads
were built, nor how the Central Pacific
conducted its monopoly in the Pacific
coast trade, for 30 many years. Surely
it will be long before the people of Cali.
fornia will forg ct it,"
