selling the Americans.
The plate glass manufacturers of this vicinity
are much alarmed over decision just rendered
by the United States District Court in New
York. The case was that of the Government
against Philip Semler, a well-known plate glass
importer Of New York City.
The importer has been purchasing large
quantities Of English and French glass. The
glass had not gone through the last process Of
polishing, and was brought in as rough glass.
This enabled him to get it into this country
under low rate Of duty, and he has been un-
derselling the American manufacturers, after
giving it the last polish. The importer was sued
by the officials Of the Treasury Department,
and the Court decided the case in favor Of the
plaintiff

ERIE FOR DELAMATER.

Congressman CuIbertsOu Not for Him, but
That Doesn't Count.
Mr.. James M. Lambing. Of Cory, who was in
the city yesterday, said that the contest for the
Governorship was beginning to stir people in
Erie county. "While sentiment has hardly
crystalized there" he said. yet think Sena-
tor Delamater will carry the county. Our Con-
gresham may not be for him, but his influence
does not count. suppose Stone will be unop-
posed in Warren, and there may be some con-
test between Delamater and Stone in Erie
county. There is notmuch love lost between the
politicians Of Erie and Warren, on account of
old fights when they were in the same district"

Commercial Agent William A SproulI, of the

President of Select Council during the lone

that fund Of $40, 900 has been raised from

He has earned the friendship of the ring
and the bosses through long years of servi-
tude to their interests, and, satisfied that he
will continue to labor for them, they have
made last determined effort to reward him,
and at the same time SO shape the Board

loaded taxpayer to pay the highest price

the Mayor is 81, 900 per year for three years,
and no more. Why then spend $4,000 to

he will tell you that he must elect Gourley

RECIPROCITY WITH SPAIN.
The cordial character of our relations with
Spain warrants the hope chat by the continu-
ance of methods of friendly negotiation much
may be accomplished in the direction of an
adjustment of pending questions and of the
increase of our trade. The extent and the
develOpmentofo our trade with the island of
Cuba invest the commercial relations of the
United States and Spain with peculiar impor-
eRnce. 1t is not doubted that a special ar
rangement in regard to commerce, based
upon the reciprocity provision of the recent
tariff act would operate most beneficially for
both Governments. This subject is now re-
ceiving attention.
The restoration of the remains of John
Ericsson to Sweden afforded a gratifying oc-
casion to honor the memory of the great in
yentOr, to whose genius our eOuntry owes so
much, and to bear witness to the unbroken
friendship which has existed between the
land which bore him and our own which
claimed him as a citizen.

the revised statutes have been put into eXer
else by both the great political parties, and
in the North, we'll as in the South, by the
filing with the court petitions required by

The present law stops just short OF effect

This defect should be cured Equality OF
representation and the purity Of the electors
must be maintained or every thing that 10
valuable in our system of government is lose.
The qualification of elector must be sought
in the law, not in the opinions, prejudices or
fears of any class, however powerful Inc
path of the elector to the ballot box must be
free from the ambush of fear and the entice-
ments of fraud, the count so true
and open that none shall gainsay it. Such a
law should be absolutely non partisan and
impartial. 1t should give the advantage to
honesty and the control to maiorities- Surely
there is nothing sectional about this creed,
and If it shall happen that the penalties OF
laws intended to enforce these rights fail
here and not there, it is not because the law
is sectional, but because happily crime il
local and not universal Nor should 1t be
forgotten that every law, whether re-
lating to elections or to any otner SUD-
