THE PRINCIPLE OF ARBITRATION.
Loro Salisbury DESTROYS of Determination
on Some Plan.

Loro Salisbury DESTROYS of Determination
on Some Plan.
London, March 23.-Lord SALISBURY
has written a letter to Sir James STAINS
field, who was chairman of the recent
demonstration in Queens Hall In favor
Of the principle of arbitration in all dis
putes between Great Britain and the
United States, acknowledging the re-
ceipt of the memorial adopted at tn"
meeting In his letter Lord SaHsoury
says: II am glad to be able to inform
you that this question is receiving the
consideration of Her Majesty's Govern
meutment, and that proposals in the
direction indicated by the memorial are
now tefore the Gov r7ment of the Unit
ed States
The memorial referred to contains the
following: without expressing any
opinion upon pending controversies. W.
would earnestly press the advisabllity
of promptly concluding some treaty ar
rangement by which all disputes be
tween Great Britain and the Unltec
States could be referred for adjudica-
ton to some permanent tribunal repre-
senting both nations and uniting them
in the common interest of justice anG
peace"
In it's issue to-day the Daily News,
under the caption of "a Break in the
Clouds" deals with Lord Salisbury's re-
ply to Sir James Stansfeld, which it de-
scribes as the most hopeful word that
has been had for long time from the
Prime Minister. The paper says that
it hopes that no efforts to press the
consideration by the Government of the
memorial into action. The Daily News
elsewhere traces the arbitration move
ment from the resolutions adopted by
the American Congress in 1890 and the
House of Commons in 1898, and from
President Cleveland's message in the
latter year. 1t proceeds: when Lord
Rosebery became Prime Minister he
took the matter up with the unanimous
approval of the Cabinet. He intimated
to Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
Ambassador to the United States, that
should President Cleveland act upon
the resolution of Congress, which re-
quested him to invite negotiations with
this Government with a view to estab-
lish a system of arbitration, the Brit
ish Government would welcome such
an invitation. Since then nothing has
been done We hope that Lord Sails
bury's letter means that substantive
proposals have been made"
The Chronicle to-day congratulates
Lord Salisbury on the action he has
taken to secure arbitration, and says
it devoutly hopes that the Unit d States
will reciprocate Great Brita.n's offer OF
good will.

Couldn,t Rrihs q Qray Man.

From statement made recently by
IShomas II. Barker, of Lower Merton
township, Montgomery county, the tight
To overthrow the power uf Senator Quay
last summer by his opponents III the party
was more desperate than oven appeared.
Mr.. Rarker was chairman of the Mont
gOiuery county delegation to the state
convention last summer. The fight be-
tween Quay ani his opponents for the
state chairmanship hung in the balance,
and if il had been announced openly
that the seven votes of Montgomery
county would have been east against
Quay it Nigh: have changed the result.
Ii will be remembered that both sides
held caucus the night before the con-
vention and Quay had a majority.
Mr.. Barker asserts that before the
caucus he was approached by a Phila-
delphian. who offered him 5000 if he
would not 60 into the Quay caucus with
his delegation. He refused the money,
and then the offer was increased to $1,000,
to ss,OOo and finally $1,000 When it was
found that even this sum would not
bribe Mr. Barker, the effort to make
him prove false to his pledges was
abandoned.
Mr.. Barker asserts the absolute truth
of this story, and says he has corrobora-
tive witnesses 10 it.

constables Gnd constab!es.

Judge Harry White, in response to a
request from the Blairsville Courier, has
written Letter briefly defining the diff
Constable and OF an ordinary ward or
borough Constable. The matter is made
clear, although of course not altogether
complete in the limited space at COM
mand. and we make the following ex-
tracts;
"The general Constable or ward Con-
stable has the general powers of Con-
stable or a peace officer. He is i'm some
respects under and subject to the control
o: the Court. Afler his election and be-
fore he takes upon himself his duties, he
must give his security to toe approved
by the Court; he must make quarterly
returns TO the Court under oath, and the
Court must take notice of this return as il
i the equivalent of an oath on charge be-
fore magistrate. He can also make ar
rests for breach of the peace and on rea-
sonable cause for the suspicion Of crime.
BY numerous laws, he must make re-
turns OF tippling houses. or, rs VIC now
call them, speak-easies; must see that in
dsx boards are up; report the condition
Of roads; also wagers on elections, and
many other matters of a criminal nature.
'.Then he must execute the warrants
and processes from the Justices of the
Peace. These ward eonstahles, then,
while elected in the wards, yet are not
entirely local officers, for they can serve
processes outside the ward and any place
in the county, and their fees or compen-
sations are fixed by tie law and Acts of
Assembly. From this general indication
ofthe duties and authority of what is
ward constable may be learned the
nature of his Office
.'The High Constable * only a local
officer. He l. strictly only the ministe-
rial officer of the Burgess and Town
Council. lie gives his bond to them and
they. 10y ordinance. iix his salary or COM
pensation. He serves the notices of the
Council and executes all their orders and
ordinances. lie gives notice of the bor-
ough elections and is especially the exc
cItive officer of the Council. To execute
the orders and ordinances of the borough
he has the power and authority of gen.
eral Constable. In vulgar parlancc and
out OF some disre>pect he has been called
hog Constable This, because he must
remove nuisances such as dead hogs, or
other offensive matter about the borough.
unlike the general Constable, he can
not be compelled TO execute the processes
Of the Justices the Peace. The Legis-
lature in ISIS, when providing for the di-
vision of boroughs into wards, required
the election of a high Constable by the
vote of all the wards. This has not been
changed.
''While the duties of a High Constable
in the borough as the officer OF the Coun-
ell are important, yet, we conceive. the
ward Consiables could have been utilized
for the purpose If not, the Chief OF Po-
lice could. Without any disrespect 10
any High COns.ables, we think il is n
unnecessary Office and its existence is
often confusing"

RuYinR Un Corn.

The st. Louis Republic says that every
body in Kansas is buying corn. Bankers,
speculators, grain buyers, merchants,
farmers, editors and others who can
scrape together few dollars are putting
it into pot with their neighbors and buy
ing corn with it. Empty railroad cars are
standing idle all over the state. The rail-
roads are not complaining. for they know
they viii get the business some time.
Very little corn is shipped out ofthe state.
In the towns along the lines Of railways
a new corncrib may be seen at the rear
of nearly every home. Men and women
who can raise few dollars are combin-
ing their capital and buying corn. The
lnmber companies are building cribs out
OF common fencing and storing away last
years crop. Lumbermen have sold
great quantities of common fencing for
corncribs. There isn't an editor in the
state that isn't taking corn on subscrip-
ton, and each has his corncrib well fill
ell. 1t i estimated that of the 200,00O.e9
bushels of corn raised i'm Kansas last year
not more than 10 per cent. has been ship
ped out of the state. The people will not
sell it for l5 and poe a bushel. if they can
hold it and get through the winter.

Commissioners Get it in the Neck


From the Meyersdale Commercial.
Al of Monday and all of Tuesday TO
5:s0 p. IN. was required 10y Court in the
nonsensicai case-"Printers' Bills" That
is the wey they termed them over in
Somerset. For some reason or other the
County Commissioners refused to pay
the publishers OF the several newspapers
of the county for Publishing the SheriiT's
election proclamation. The bills of 4. II.
Coifroth, Jr., of the Dsa0crai, running
from the fall of 1871 to after the spring
election Of 1874, were thrown into court
and made the basis of "A ties; ease Judge
Greer, of Butler, presided and he seemed
70 be puzzled all the way through the
proceedings as 10 why the Commission
ers permitted such a case To- be brought
into court. For not only did the Com
missioners neglect to do their sworn duty
when they refused 10 pay these bills, bat
they went a step farther and trampled
the statutes under foot in giving the
Sheriff's election proclamation To one of
the papers for trifie and paying out the
public funds for this work without a Ves-
tige of authority for 80 doing. Judge
Greer said, when this fact was brought
ont in the testimony, that the Auditors
would have to attend to this and see that
the Commissioners refunded the money
they had squandered in this unholy
transaction without law or license. just
what Sheriff Hoover may do for this un-
do not know.
The Court stated during the progress Of
the trial To two jurors who came in a half
hoIr late, that each hour of the courts
time cost thirty dollars. No doubt this is
80. The time occupied 10y the court in
the Commissioners ease was about
twelve hours, or $3.50 lost to the county.
Counsel fees will be easily enough more
TO make the people pay in all SD. 50
that some ''srnart aleck" among the Com
missioners might pass rs a reformer and
political economist. That is a dear eX-
pertinent, and as about every attorney
they questioned advis FL them to pay the
bills, the county has only the pig headed
obstinacy 10 blame for this loss of $500 of
the public funds.
Our people have a right to the best ser
vice from them. Ii is bat few years
ago that Commissioners were content
with making a salary of sio each year.
Bat the present board draw nearly $1,000
each for their services, and for this large
sum they should give the people efficient
care and attention. This is the year of
profit by it. Suppose we try and reform
the rcformcrs. They need il.
