A Statesman and Politician.

Philadelphia Times.
The difference between statesmen
and politician. between man Of princi-
pie and time server, or between q maR
of brains and capacity sni smart, su-
perfcial country shopkeeper, Is painfully
illustrated by the contrast between the
last strong, clear, manly utterances of
Secretary Window upon silver coinage and
the foolish shilly- shallying of hls' sue
cessor. Mr.. Foster assumed quite prop
erly that, occupying the position he does,
''some expression upon this subject
was expected from bin at Columbus. and
he went on to say in effect that he knew
nothing about 1t, bad no opinions and
was in favor OF everything that anybody
wanted. And there is now no doubt that
in this respect, at least, he spoke the
truth.

But for the absorbing interest unreR-
sonably taken In he IriAl which grew out
of the disgraceful bascarat scandal, some
Of the announcements recently made by
the government In the English House OF
Commons would doubtless have attracted
deep and widespread attention and
aroused discussion more or less general
One Of these WAS the announcement by
Mr.. BalfoHr, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
that the operation OF the coercive policy
OF the governments was about to be sus-
pended and that the Crimes act was
about to be repealed except as to It's ap-
plication to a few scattered districtswhere
order has not been completely restored.
Another Is the notice given by the gov
ernment OF the introduction of bill to
provide for free elementary and compul-
sorry education. The suspension of coer-
cion in Ireland Is rendered practicable by
the pacihcation which, In the opinion Of
Mr.. Balfour and his Tory supporters,
among whom there Is none staurcher
than the London correspondent OF the
New York Tribune, has been
effected "by the firm and intelligent rule
OF q man who knows how to make his
will respected" That is, Mi. Balfour'e

erroneous impression had become prsv-
alent that President Harrison. being a
reformer and an elder IN the church and
not swimming In the same political pool
with Qusy-espscially after the Della
mater disaster--were not on cordial
terms with each other. But we are as
sured that the appointment of Mr.
Brooks was urged by Senator Quay. The
Phlladelphia Inquirer says;
Mr.. Brooks was urged by Senator
Quay This fact, with events likely to
follow, will stamp ss false the stories
that the Senator asd President are not
on good terms President Harrison needs
Senator Quay quite as much as Quay
needs Harrison While In the past the
President has not always taken tbs
Senator's AdVice In the matter of appoint
ments, there has never bees any quArrsl
between them. What Is more, there Is
not likely to be.
That seems to indicate that there are
stronger sentiments in President Harri
sons breast than refor sentiments and
motives which are strong enough to over
come any disgust which pr operly
sensitive aud self respecting man
should feel for Senator Quay
and for his methods. IL would seem
that President Harrison did not know
Senator Quay rs well as Henry @, Lea

Elmira, Sept. Slowing TO deadlock IN the Com

school taxes have not been levied in that city to pro
vide funds for the maintenance of the schools for tho
school year beginning September l, 1891. Therefore
the School Board in Elmra, fearing there would not
be any funds available for the support Of the schools
for the coming year. ordered them closed. Supcrin-
iendent Draper Of the Department Of Public In
stuctlon, has written TO the School Board of Emira
that authority to close the schools rests with that
body, and that the teachers would have legal claim
against the city whether the schools were opened or
not. He has also rendered decision in the matter
