Both Secretary Blaine and Lord Salisbury
consider it inexpedient to make public at
this time the correspondence in regard to
the Behring sea dispute. Neither the
American nor the British premier thinks
that the settlement of the matter will be ad-
vanced by taking the public into their con-
fdence, and they are, no doubt, the best
judges on this point. But by all means let
Us have a speedy settlement. Mr.. Bayard s
policy to submit the disputed question TO an
international court of arbitration seems to
be the best way out of the difficulty, and
when other means have failed Mr.. Harri-
son will, after all, have . ack knowledge that
dr. Blaine was right when he followed Mr..
5ayards policy in the matter.

Purifying the Caucus.

A radical measure for purifying the party
caucus has been reported to the Massachu-
sets House OF Representatives by the com
mittee on election laws. 1t is compulsory
ana all nominations must be made in CON
tormlty to its provisions in order to obtain
the right to 60 on the official ballot, which is
the only one permitted to be used at elections.
Under the old election method that prevailed
before the adoption of the Australian sys-
TEN such law as is proposed would have
been practically imperative for it is doubt
tul If any constitutional way could have
been found to enforce its provisions, but
now that the state prints the ballot and the
only ballot that can be used on election day
it is possible by providing that the names of
candidates shall not be placed upon it except
they are nominated in certain specified
way to very effectively control caucus meth
DDS.
Massachusetts contains larger cities than
Maine and consequently the regulation of
caucus Is more necessary there than in
Maine. But some regulation would be by no
means superfluous here. Indeed the need of
some reform in Portland has already been
recognized by placing law upon the stat
utes which may be invoked for the govern
ment Of the caucus 1t never has been in
voked, however, and is never likely to be.
and therefore it is not likely to be of any
value except as an expression of opinion by
the law making power that some reformation
is needed.
Before we have any effective measure we
snail a tn W. nnt L..
OF voting is adopted; then through the offic-
lal ballot the State will get the power to
compel the nomination of candidates
to conform to certain conditions, mas.
much as it will then have the power to
exclude from the official ballot the names of
candidates not so nominated With the ac-
QUESTION OF this power it ought not to be
difilcult to construct measure which shall
make the caucus as fair an expression of opin-
ion OF its kind as is the meeting at the polls
ON election day of its kind. Three or four
simple regulations are all that are needed
First and foremost the caucus must be of
sufficient duration to make possible the eff
iectlVe use OF the check list. Indeed in most
cases this one regulation would be sufficient
to exclude persons not entitled to vote. Of
course the use of the checklist must be made
compulsory, and provision must be
made for the representation of the
various candidates in the desk
while the voting is going on, and after
wards when the ballots are being counted.
The general provisions of the statute applica
BILE to all public meetings would be sufficient
TO preserve order and prevent disturbance
while the simple penalty Of denial of a place
on the official ballot to candidates who were
nominated by caucuses that did not keep the
polls open fixed number of hours, did not
use the checklist and comply with other
conditions that might be deemed advisable
would be sufficient to ensure conformity
to these requirements.

| this petition in Springfield is practically the
same as it is in this city. The citizens
claim that the methods of the private firms
who do the work are loose, and thoroughly
unsatisfactory. They say that in the first
days of spring when the dust is almost in
siderable the water carts are in the shop TO-
repairs, and when the work is begun they
say that some men get sprinkling done for
Sl.5O season, that others pay SIS for. Some
streets are not gone over at all, on the pround

FRIDAY, The 9th DAY of MAY NEXT
ARBOR DAY.

And | recommend to the people OF this State that
upon that occasion they engage in the work of
planting trees and shrubbery for "the adornment
Of public and private grounds, places and ways"
and that they give careful thought and attention
to the important subject of forest culture and
preservation.
Especially should this day be faithfully OBJ
served by our institutions of learning that its les
sons may be early acquired by the coming gener-
alton. Whatever we may be able to do in en-
hanclDg the great natural beauties Of our State,
will prove of value not only as an additional at
traction to the rapidly increasing number of those
who annually seek summer rest and recreation
within its borders, but to an even greater extent,
as wholesome and refining influence among our
people,
1t will be remembered that whatever we may
successfully do in the observance of this day
will not only be pleasure to ourselves but a
source of comfort and enjoyment to future gener-
ati0nS.

The work of the civil service commission
Is said by those who are thoroughly ac-
quainted with it to need some additions,
clerks for its proper performance, and bill
TO grant the required increase has been in
troduced into the House. If the additions
are really needed it is difficult to see how the
representatives of the Republican party can
refuse to grant them The party has re-
solved IN national convention, over and over
again, in favor of the extension of the re-
form, and in the last convention il ex-
pressiy promised to keep its pledges in this
particular. Refusing needed appropriation
will not be keeping these pledges; on the
contrary it will be, to all intents and pur-
poses, reputation of them. Evidently the
convention thought the great majority of the
Republican party were the friends of this re-
form, or 1t would not have so unequiyo-
cally committed itself to it, They are 10
Less friendly now than they were then. If it
was good policy for the representa-.
IatlVes OF the party who assembled at Chica
20 10 endorse this reform, it cannot be good
policy now for another set of representatives
OF the Republican party to repudiate il.
therefore not only does fidelity to promises,
Whlch party can no more beak with i'm
punity than an individual, demand that the
Republican Congress do nothing to iniure or
retard the reform, but very ordinary re-
gard Tor votes impels in the same direction.
III VIII be a great mistake for Republican
representatives to cultivate the idea that no.
BODY but Mugwumps care anything about
civil service reform and that therefore it will
be perfectly safe to starve it to death. Civil
service reform is the child of the Republican
party, as Republican conventions have over
and over again declared, and the child can't
be maltreated without danger of arousing
good deal of indignation in the parent.
