NEEDS SMOOTHING OUT.

1t should surprise no one if in the course
of Transforming the generous ideas of Mr..
Carnegie into practical form obstacles of
one sort and another should be discovered.
That anything can arise to prevent the erec-
ton of the Carnegie Library in this city We
do not believe. The possibility of such an
untoward event is SO remote that it is not
worth consideration. But little matter
has forced itself before the public, which
does not deserve to be called an obstacle,
but is rather an uneven place in the legis-
lative setting of the library which may need
smoothing out. 1t has not even the quality
of surprise about it, for the contingency Of
such complication has been known and
discussed by the friends OF the library for a
long time.
The difficulty, such as it is, involves the
constitutionality of the relations of the city
to the commission having charge of the
library. Article III, section 20, of the
Constitution of Pennsylvania says: "The
General Assembly shall not delegate to any
special commission, private corporation or
association, any power to make, supervise,
or interfere with any municipal improve
ment, money, property or effects, whether
held in trust, or otherwise. or to levy taxes
or perform any municipal function what
ever" This section of the Constitution was
aimed at sort of commission very different
from that having charge Of the library, but
at the same time its application is general
and it may render further legislation in
Councils necessary to make the path of the
Library Commission clear.
But the consideration OF this and other
details that may come up for rectifcation
can be left safely to Councils. When all
concerned are anxious to pull together, the
boat is sure to go along on an even keel to
the winning post.

THE NEW POSTAGE STAMP.

BOSTON Herald: The new postage stamps
seem to be rather backward in coming for
ward.
PHILADELPHIA Record: A reissue of frac-
tional currency has been proposed. But the
new postage Stamps tear to pieces readily
enough for all fractional purposes
PHILADELPHIA Public Ledger: Probably
the first official portrait to represent Washing
ington with red hair and exceedingly forid
countenance is the steel engraving of him now
sold by the Government for cents apiece.
JoHNsTowN Tribune: The new 2-cent post
age stamps are thin and fiimsy, and should be
replaced by others. 1t is one of the disad-
vantages Of the Government contracting with
the lowest bidder. The contract should be
made with the best bidder, which, of course,
would cover good material and low price.
ST. PAUL Globe: The papers are too critical
about the new postage stamps. They were the
first Wanamaker ever made, and he could not
be expected to do handsome work. The New
York Times speaks of the portrait of Franklin
on the 1-cent stamp as "putty-faced personii-
cation OF senility." But they go, all the same.
SCRANTON Times: Postmaster Wanamakers

annually. But his conduct has caused car
mine blush to appear on the face of the Father
of his Country, which is pictured on the stamp.
LANCASTER InteIltgencer: The new 2-cent
stamps are said to tear so easily that many are
damaged by the postoffice clerks who have to
separate the sheets rapidly for retail sales.
There are also growls against the postal cards.
and Mr.. Wanamaker does not seem to have
made favorable impression by these little
changes, whatever he may accomplish with
larger schemes.

WALLACE rs FOUND.

Senator Wallace has been found. This
will comfort multitude of people who
were really anxious about the Clearheld
statesman. So many men are disappear
ing these DAYS But last night he arrived
home in Clearfeld. There is no doubt of
this The reports that he was in several
parts of the world at one and the same
moment have happily been proven incor-
rect Senator Wallace is in the flesh,
although he is said to have worn
off goodly portion Of his corporal envelope
during a rough voyage across the Atlantic.
Next to knowing for certain that MIR.
Wallace is in the flesh and in Clearfeld,
that able and amiable gentleman's friends
will be most interested in learning that he
is a candidate for the Democratic nomira-
ton for Governor. His son admits, with
the noble candor born OF youth, that Mr..
Wallace is a candidate out and out, and
one who will be heard from in no uncertain
fashion before the bluebirds have got in
their new furniture A defnition-wIth or
without diagrams it is not said-of his can
didacy may be looked for in the near future.
Several of Mr.. Wallace's friends think he
is the only available candidate for the
Democrats This is very surprising from
Mr.. Wallace's friends.
Mr.. Goodlander, in a talk about Mr.
Wallace, casually lets drop a little bit OF
information, intended for public digestion,
but peculiarly adapted for the private use
OF a Philadelphia bank president, regarding
the candidacy of Ex-Governor Robert L.
Pattison. Mr.. Goodlander says Mr.. Pat
tlson is not booked for the Governorship,
but the Mayoralty of Philadelphia. Pos
sibly this will be news to Mr.. Pattison. 1t
is news to good many Democrats in West
ern Pennsylvania-that is certain.
The solid chunk of wisdom which Mr.. E.
A. Bigler donates to his brother Democrats
at this interesting moment deserves solid
gold frame. Here il is: "It matters not who
may run for Governor on the Democratic
ticket unless there is a split in the Repub-
ican party" Exactly SO.

ENGLAND IN MEXICO.

A curious phenomenon is presented in
Mexican financial affairs. 1t is that while
American capital, except that invested in
mines, is being withdrawn from Mexico,
British capital is flowing in and in greater
volume than ever. The inwardness of this
peculiar condition of affairs seems to be that
American investors are more practically
acquainted with the possibilities of Mexico
than their English cousins, and are better
able to see that for time at least further
investments in Mexico are not advisable
At the same time it is fact that the United
States offers profitable field for enterprise
that Americans are not disposed to over
look.
But there is another reason for our exam
lining the economical condition of Mexico
to-day. The ascendency of British capital
there is complete. Last year alone well on
to $4,000, 900 were sunk in railways, lands,
mines, public securities, banks and other
enterprises, which with previous invest
ments constitute tremendous mortgage on
the resources of the republic, rendering the
maintenance of law and order matter of
almost as much Importance to Great Britain
as to Mexico itself. Specially over the rail.
way system of the country has England got
a firm hold. The Mexican Railway. the
Interoceanic and the Mexican Southern are
English companies; the control of the Ma
tional is in English hands, the Tehuantepec

A CRISIS IN ENGLISH POLITICS.

Lord Randolph Churchill is a pro-
fessional acrobat in politics. At first his
singular somersaults, his ground and lofty
tumbling, his handsprings, and contortions
attracted considerable attention. 1t was a
novel and surprising sight, nobleman,
brother to duke, performing in the arena
of Parliament the antics of mere place
man or vain charlatan hungry for applause,
no matter from what quarter. But even
the British public, which will pardon a
great deal in a lord, seems to have
grown tired of Signor Churchill and his
spangled sui. For good while the party
leaders in Parliament have not cared what
the titled tumbler did; and we fear
some of them rather hoped that the net
would break and precipitate his lordship
upon the cold hard floor at the polls.
His latest feat had the merit of being
planned with. the laudable intention of
plaguing Her Majesty's Ministry, presided
over by Lord Salisbury. A couple of years
ago, nay last session, such an attack up the
Government would have done real damage
to the unprincipled conspirators who were
then plotting Parnell's ruin under cover of
The Times. Now the violence of his de-
nunclation of the Tory party and its
Unionist allies only serves to convict him
of lack of courage at a far more critical
moment in the past. What he said about
Pigott the other day he could and should
have said seven or eight months ago. Lord
Randolph Churchill has not served himself
very much in coming over to the right
side at this late hour, neither has he dcLe
the cause of justice and true patriotism
nearly as great service as he might have
done had he struck out manfully in the
opening of the battle. Fortunately the
fight is practically won for the Liberals
already-if recent events may be trusted
without Lord Churchill's aid The bve
elections are all showing the set of the tide
in Gladstone's favor. A member of the
Tory Government on Wednesday last ex-
horted his constituents to prepare for an ap-
preaching general election. This shows
that Salisbury is afraid to tarry longer. He
will find, we believe, that he has tarrled
already too long. The final defeat of the
Tory and Urionist allies cannot be post
poned much longer. Deathbed conversions
may be looked for beyond Lord Churchill,
especially among the Unionists who were
once Liberals.

RESULT OF A LEAD CORNER.
Creditors of the Corwirh Estate Want n
Receiver Appointed.

Receiver Appointed.
CHICAGO. March ia cross bill was filed in
the Superior Court to-day by the Union Ma
tional Bank, Everett & Post the Pennsylvania
Lead Company. and Thomas j. Phillips, of st.
Louis, against Nathan CorwIth other heirs of
the estate of the late Nathan Corwith, Sr., and
a number of creditors of the CorwiEh estate,
asking that a receiver te appointed to take
possession of over 100000 worth of real estate
transferred by Mr.. Corwith, ST.. and his wife
Mary E., to Clarence F. Birdseye, who is made
party defendant to the bill. 1t is also asked
that Birdseye be enjoined from disposing of or
in any way encumbering the property, and that
the receiver sell it to satisfy prior claim
which the plaintiffs allege they have.
1t is claimed by Everett & Post that prior to
October 20 1855 Nathan Corwith, ST., was in
debted to them in the sums of 81, 566 and 81 811,
and on that day they sued out writ of attach
ment, which became a lien all the real
estate, though the issges sgs have NOT yet been
tried. November l, 1883, the plaintiffs sued
out another attachment writ on further claim
OF 81, O55. which is also still pending.
The Pennsylvania Lead Company states
similar condition of affairs on claims of $50 $50
and 50. 456. Prior to the troubles of the Cor
withs in 1885, resulting in Nathan, Jr.'s, at
tempt to run a lead corner the plaintiffs allege
that the Corwiths were possessed of large
amount of real estate. and it was on the
strength of this that when Nathan, Jr., called
on them early in October, he was given almost
unlimited credit on the strength of the property
which, it was supposed, belonged to the firm.
October Is, Nathan Corwith & Co. failed in
business, leaving the plaintiffs claims unpaid,
and the attachment writs followed.
1t Is charged that on October 20 Nathan Cor
with ST., went to Detroit, and there, for the
purpose of defrauding the plaintiffs signed
with his wife a quit claim deed conveying all
the real estate to Birdseye without any valuable
consideration.
Birdseye claims, the bill says. that the prop
erty was given him in trust for the Omaha &
Grant smelling works and other creditors who
intend TO realize on the property to the exclu-
sion of the plaintiffs 1t is asked that the trans
fer be fet aside as fraudulent.

AN ACTORS NARROW ESCAPE.
Fred Leslie Thinks He Nearly Met Death


Mt BirchalPs Hands.
LONDON, March 1a-Fred Leslie, the WELL
known actor of the Gaiety Company said in
an interview to-day that he firmly believed that
he himself came near being made victim of
Reginald Birchall's murderous monomania.
1t appears that while in America he was in
the habit of receiving frequent requests to sit
for his photograph. Among those who wrote
was Birchall, and while in New York he ac-
ceded TO the latter's request and called, by ap-
pointment at a certain house. The door was
opened by Birchall himself, who seemed to be
alone. There was a studio-iike room at the
back of the premises, but otherwise no appear
ance that the Photographic business was being
carried on there. Leslie was posed for por-
trait and Birchall threw cloth over his head
to obtain the proper focus, but there were
signs of tins or camera. The actor called
Birchalls attention, but the latter replied that
it was new STYLE"
"This somehow reminded me-" continued
Mr. Leslie, that Charley Dandy who is an
amateur photographer, had promised to look
in on me. On mentioning this to Birchall, he
turned deadly pale, and seemed quite dIScon-
certed, now honestly believe that my making
this statement was the only thing that saved
nv life Judging from subsequent develop
ments, as It would have been the easiest thing
in the world for Birchall to have used an air
gun while pretending to focus me. l was wear
ing considerable jewelry at the time. and had
a large sum of money about me. However,
DANNY soon arrived, and Birchall pretended to
take his photo, but 1t never materialized, nor
did ever Law ewes on Birchall again."
A letter from Mr.. Leslie. making an appoint
ment for sitting was among the papers found
upon searching Birchalrs luggage since his
arrest in Canada.

PERUVIAN POLITICS.

They have a curious style of conducting
political campaigns in Peru. The process
sions, band playing and red fire. which ac-
company the hottest of political struggles in
this country, would not satisfy the fiery
Peruvian for moment. A campaign with
out more or less blood-letting is not to be
thought of in that Southern cline. The
latest news from that happy country gives
us full particulars of a pleasant little con-
test between the friends of Seniors Bernudez
Rosas in the city of Huanta, and the Prov
ince of Ayacucho.
DR.. Urbina seems to have been the most
prominent victim of more than hundred
who were killed by the Indians. The assas-
sins had imbibed strong drink with their
politics until they adopted, what the cores
pondent calls "horrible mode of pro-
cedure." A personal feud existing between
the families of Lazon and Urbin.. intensified
the bitterness of the struggle. The upsnot
of the political campaign in this one town
of Huanta, was that most of the houses
were plundered or burnt, and over a
hundred lives were sacrificed. Political
courtesy as it is practiced in Peru now de-
mands that the friends of DR.. Urbina
should proceed to the place favored with
the presence of the Lazon family, and sack,
burn and murder therein to as great an
extent as possible. The ambitious politicians
of our peaceful land who are tired of the
humdrum administration of the Republic,
and the comparatively uneventful character
of our political campaigns, should emigrate
for a season to Peru. 1t would prove
tonic of greater strength we doubt not than
the famed Peruvian bark.
