AMERICAN OFFER REFUSED,
Lord salisbury Declines the Good Offices
ofthe United Stnfss

ofthe United Stnfss.
London March 13-6:t5 u. m-The
United States charge d'affaires, Henry
White, saw Lord Salisbury at the for
eign office this evening and received a
formal reply from the British govern
ment declining the offer of the United
States to use it's good offices to bring
about peace in South Africa. The Of
fer was made at the request of Pres-
dents Kruger and Steyn.
The representations made to Great
Britain were so put that they assumed
nothing of desire to intervene, but
simply transmitted the communications
made to United States Consul Adelbert
S. Hay at Pretoria, with the accom-
panying assurances that anything the
state department could do in the inter-
ests Of peace would be gladly under
taken. The we'll known aversion of
the British government to any foreign
intervention does not appear to have
been aroused, Notwithstanding Lord
Salisbury's refusal of to-day. The me-
diation plan originated in Pretoria,
where Mr. Hay, with the other consuls.
subsequent to Presidents Kruger and
Steyn sending their peace cablegram to
Lord Salisbury, were asked to endeavor
to secure the good offices of their re-
spective governments, apparently with
the view of bringing outside influence
to bear on Lord Salisbury's reply to the
Boer overtures.
These seem to have been fruitless.
except in the instance of the United
States consul, whose representations to
Secretary Hay We're forwarded March
10, to the United States embassy in
London, with the instructions outlined
above These Mr.. White, the charge,
d'affaires, personally presented to Lord
Salisbury, who received them cordially,
but without committing himself to any
definite expression of opinion. AS the
Boer overtures had already been an
swered to the effect that no propositions
including the retention of the republics
independence could be considered, the
presentation of the American offer was
already too late, but the premier, appar-
entity, deemed it a matter of sufficient
to put himself on record
with a formal reply.

THE NEW ELECTION Law.


THE outcome is a compromise of
parties and principles, and is, 1 conceive,
''the golden mein."
The law is embraced in Bills 10 and
10. We have retained the State Com
mission idea, in which each Of the two
considerable parties have representation,
the Governor being limited to appoint
from lists furnished by the acknowledged
organizations of each party. This is
tempered by the selection of a State
elective officer-the Clerk of the Court
of Appeals-who acts as chairman and
umpire of this board.
The County boards of Election Com
missioners follow the same plan, two
County Commissioners are from each
greater party, are named from lists fur
nished by the party organization to the
State board, the County Sheriff forming
the third official or umpire of said board.
This recognizes the county or local adj
ministration. The Sheriff was under
the English form and is yet in most of
the States the election official. In this
law his relation to elections is preserved.
The precinct officials are appointed by
the County boards from lists Of sober,
discreet, law abiding citizens, Ia muir
derer or felOn being excluded) The
voter, if unknown to the officials, Or if
the officials are in doubt may vote on
subscribing to an oath to be returned
before the grand juries, provided some
citizen does make counter affidavit.)
The rights of parties and of the voter
is well guarded. The officials are under
penalties TO do and perform their duties
under the new law.
The ballots are preserved, and almost
the entire range Of duty in any position
of election official is to receive and regis
ter and tabulate the vote and certify the
same.
In the matter of doubtful or mutilated
ballots there is, as there should be, the
right of canvass or determination of the
purpose Of the voter.
1t is law that is just and fair, and
promises the best results.
The time of the Legislature was given
to the comparison of the laws of the
States, consideration of the principles,
the meeting of objections, AID deter
mination of what would best preserve
the rights of the people and give an
honest and undoubted expression of the
public will.
1t was a pleasing result that these
laws were adopted with great unanimity
by both parties. The session closes in
mutual respect and good will.
The man who would make capital now
for either party out of the proceeding to
get this law, or by reflection on law, is
more partisan than patriot
Kentucky viii now have the best
election law of any State i'll the Union
of States or Nation. Let US not forget
that to make law is one thing, to respect
ana carry Odt the law is another. Let
every good citizen of the State Of what
ever party remember that his obligation
is now to energize the law, to give it
respect, for under our government law
derives its force from energlzed public
sentiment. J. NJ. THOMAS.
