PAssErr SUCCEEDS ERHARDT.
Change In the Office of Collector Of the POI
Of New York.

Change In the Office of Collector Of the Port
Of New York.
The President has accepted the resignation
OF Joel b. Erhardt ~ collector of the port of
New York. and haS designated j. Sloat Fassett
Of Eimira, y. ", as his successor.
Collector Erhardt has given the following
statement of the reasons for his resignation:
II have resigned because the collector has been
reduced to n position where he is no longer an
independent officer with authority commensu-
rate with his responsibility. have given bonds
for s200, 900. have received for the govern
meh' during the twenty months last past, 1922, =
691, $40, and am all the time personally re-
sponslble for enormous values in money and
merchandise. Ny duties IRE necessarily per-
formed through about 500 employees. lam
not willing to continue to be responsible for
their conduct unless can have proper author
lty over them. The recent policy OF the Treas
ury Department has been to control the details
OF the customs administration ut the port of
New York from Washington, at the dctation of
private Individual having no official response
bility. The collector is practically deprived of
power and control, while he is left subject to
all responsibility. The Office is no longer indie
pendent, and am. Therefore, we have separ-
ated.'
Senator j. Sloat Fassett who has been ap-
pun teu MI. Erharuts successor, Is secretary
OF the republican national committee and rep
resented the Elmira district in the New York
senate. He was born in Elmira, n Y, on No.
vember -, 1853. He was graduated from the
University of oohester and took a post grad
nate course at the University of Heidelberg.
Germany. Two years after he left the Univer-
sity of Rochester lie was appointed district al
torney OF Chemung county. He was elected to
the senate four times During his last term he
was complimented by teing elected president
pro tenn of the senate. In 1883 he was secre-
Rotary Of the republican national committee
and helped to carry New York for President
HARRISON. He edits successful daily paper in
Elmira, having for years been inclined toward
the newspaper profession. This was shown
when he chose Journalism ~ the subject of
his graduating thesis ut Rochester University

THE WORK OF PARLIAMENT,
Lord Salisbury Reviews the LHbors Of tn
Session.

b6b6lO0.
Lord Salisbury in his speech at the lord
mayors banquet in London last night re-
viewed the labors of the present session Of
parliament. He said hard and valuable work
had been done, and that the obstruction for
merly hindering legislation had almost disap-
peared. He rejoiced at the passing Of the edu-
cation bill. as calculated to support the system
of religion which the people loved.
Regarding Ireland, Lord Salisbury said that
the government had applied successful
remedy to evils long suffered there and could
look back on its policy with satisfaction.
Five years ago he had expressed the belief
that Ireland mus. be governed resolutelv.
Mr.. Baifour 8 success was largely due to the
fact that those serving under him were as
sured that they would be supported and not
handed over to their enemies. Dir. Balfour's
administration owed its success to persist
ence and resolution. fCheers.l Respect for
the law followed the people feeling that re-
sistance to the law was futile.
THE land act" Lord Salisbury declared.
would be found not to be temporary pallia
tive, but permanent cure for the troubles of
many generations. II would draw closer the
bond uniting the two countries. England. in
the last election. declared against the severance
OF the bond and believe this decision is ir-
revocable." [Cheers.l
Referring to foreign powers, Lord Salisbury
said he never knew period when Europe was
more tranquil than at the present time In
South America alone was there weary quarrel
and constant disorder. The English govern
ment had been pressed to arbitrate in the Chill
ian dispute and in the adjustment of the Arpen-
