the belief of a conservative member of the
committee that the nomination will either
be reported back fayorably or without any
recommendation. The members of the
committee who were against Hornblower,
but who do not want to make a report
against Peckham, think the best way TO
fix the matter is to allow it TO come be
fore the senate without any recommenda-
ton whatever, and have all that has been
presented to the committee laid before
the senate. There are only three members
of the committee who are actively opposed
to Peckham-Hill, Pugh and Teller-and
the others are inclined to report without
recommendation.

The Mayor Is Right.

Mayor McDonough displays his usual
good Judgment in the expression ne has
given of his views relative to burdens
upon commerce at this port. He favors
the abolition Of quarantine fees and a re-
duction of port charges. The quarantine
fees are really city taxes upon commerce,
and should be abolished if they are in
furious to the port. They are revenues of
the city and are within the control of the
city council.
The mayor, however, takes the ground
that the city has nothing whatever to do
with the charges for pilotage, ltghterage,
stevedoring, etc. The council has as
much right, he says, to fix the charges of
merchants and ship brokers for their ser
vices to ships as it has to interfere with
the business of pilots, stevedores or tow
boatmen.
{ Quarantine is. for the benefit of the
city, and the harbormaster is the city's
representative on the wharves and in
the harbor. The cost of maintaing these
necessary projections should be in tax
upon the city, and not upon the ships
that visit the port, The mayors idea of
the limit of the city councils jurisdiction
is the right one

The Dilemma Of a prinoeas.

Princess Louise, Warehouses, of Lorne.
who is by far and away the most comely of
the daughters OF Queen Victoria has recently
found herser somewhat in quandary with
regard TO the death'of the step mother of her
husband. the late Duchess of Argyle.
According to the strict rules of court Ell.
quette. says the Philadelphia Press, preee-
dent and tradition, royal personages are de.
larred by their rank from donning mourning
for any person not of blood royal no matter
how near and dear the deceased NAV have
been TO them. Princess Louise was there
lore prevented from wearing black; at the
same time she felt it incumbent upon her to
pay some outward tribute of respect to the
sentiments of grief of her father-in-laW the
Duke OF Argyle After much deliberation she
solved the difficulty by donning purple velvet
which is the royal form of hall mourning
and which possessed the additional advantage
In ner eyes OF setting of her shapely figure
ana her beauty to perfection.
OF course, when these rules and regulations
with regard to royal mourning were first pro-
mulgated, no provision was made for mar
rlages such as that Of Princess Louise and the
Marquis Of Lorne. Morgauatic marriages
are not recognized in English Jurisprudence
and thus the usage at continental courts in
such cases as this could not be followed.
Princess Louise is in every sense of the
word the wife, and the right handed wife, too.
of her commOner husband, and under the cir.
cumstances she would ind herself in still
greater quandary were she to become a
widow, for as a daughter of the queen and a
royal princess she could not. strictly speak
ing, wear mourning for n man. who in the
eyes OF the law, is nothing but mere John
Campbell, while on the other hand popular
feeling would be grossly out aged if she were
to abstain from wearing widows weeds and
Grape.
Probably She would escape by means Of
some such compromise as she adopted in the
case of the death Of her husbands step
mother. there has been so little love lost be-
tween this Unmatched couple and so much
domestic unhappiness that it is impossible
to imagine the princess as being hearJbroken
in the event of the loss Of the marquis.

District Mass Meetings.

Tuesday evenings experience justities
the conclusion that in future the demo
| cratic executive committee of this county
will be chosen in some other way than by
the present system of district mass meet
/ ings. II is apparent that when the lines
/ between the factions are strongly drawn
/ it is impossible to obtain an expression of
! the popular viii by means of those meet
! ings. The opportunities for taking I'M
fair advantages are very great, and it Is
certain that the factions will make the
most of them.
In not one of the city districts on Tues
day evening was there a result obtained
that is accepted by both factions. In one
of the districts no result was reached,
and in the other three each faction
elected ticket. In these three districts,
therefore. there are two sets of commit
teemen, and it will require wisdom and
patience to effect q settlement acceptable
TO both factions, if, indeed, an acceptable
settlement Is possible.
a fair way TO choose the executive com
mittee would be to have a primary at the
court house That would require those
democrats who reside in the country to
come a considerable distance from their
homes if they desired to take part in the
election, but it would De far better to put
them to some inconvenience than to have
a repetition of such scenes as those of
Tuesday evening. 1t is true that prina
ries might be held in each district but
that would involve the making out Of
eight registration books-one for each
district-and the holding of an election
in eight places in the county.
There does not seem to be any good rea-
son why the executive committee should
not bechosen at the primary at which the
candidates for the legislature and the
delegates to the senatorial and congress
sional elections are selected. One primary
could be made to answer all the purposes
which are now served by mass meetings
and primaries
The great majority of the people favor
as few elections as can be got along with.
Their chief desire in connection with poll
tics is to have good men in Office, and they
want to accomplish that object with as
little trouble to themselves as possible.

The salvadorean AFFAIR.

/ Secretary Herbert, according to our
[ dispatches, refuses to affirm or deny GER
/ tain sensational rumors as to his advices
| concerning the state of affairs in Saliva
dor The rumor of most interest TO the
! people of this country is one to the effect
that the recently successful revolutionists

Thomas, of the Bennington. and the repre-
sentatives Of the United States in Saliva

dered TO them.
1t will be remembered that after the
defeat of the government forces at Santa

eighteen other members of the
government sought aud obtained
refuge on the Bennington. AT
the time the refugees were received
there was not an organized govern

They would have killed the Ezetas and
their partisans but for Commander
Thomas protection. The commander
acted in the interest of humanity, and so
reported to this government, along with
the details of the affair. His action met
with the approval of both the state and
navy departments, and he was instructed
not to surrender the fugitives.
From legal point of view, according
to the opinion accredited to the state de-
partment, the fact that there was no or
gained government in Salvador when
the fugitives were given shelter, pre-
cludes this governments being called to
account' by any future government of
Salvador for the act. Holding this opin-
ion, this government would proceed at
once to bring the Salvadoreans to their
senses in case they should attempt to
harm the Bennington, any United States
consul or other of our representatives in
their country.
