The Democracy, in the same way, stood to win this year on lines of domestic politics, while Harrison ian Republicanism stood to lose, unless those lines could be shifted to tho metallic grooves of war.

The assurance of peace restores tho play of factional struggles within Republicanism, with Blaine the least bit in advantage over Harrison, while within Democracy the political forces for Hill contend with the reform and independent ones for Cleveland. Whatever the outcome, the result will bo better for the country than a war in which tho best Americans would havo felt ashamed, because of tho inadequacy of the provocation and of the disproportionate strength of the adversaries.

It is stated that members of the Pickwick club of New Orlcitns arc preparing to give ex. President Cleveland a dinner and reception when "ho returns from hunting on Jefferson island.

Tho club is purely social organization, whose title is not intended to signify that it is given to comic conceits. It is a society of gentlemen analogous to the Hamilton club of this city. It proposes to honor Mr. Cleveland as an eminent American citizen, not as a Democrat or a candidate for tho presidency. If it has not been the privilege of the members previously to have met tho distinguished New Yorker we can assure them that his presence as their guest will be an occasion never to bo forgotten.

They will have two good reasons always to remember it: First, because of the treasures of political philosophy with which he enlivens such festive gatherings and, second, on account of his remarkablo likeness to the amiable and venerated personage utter whom the club is named. It is related of his present genial host, tho actor Jefferson, that he onco exhibited a newspaper woodcut of Mr. Cleveland as a portrait of Mr. Pickwick himself, tho resomblance was so strong that none of the purty detected the imposition. There is, therefore, a peculiar propriety iu tho tribute of respect which the New Orleans Pielcwick iaus propose to offer tho ex President.

Should he conclude to accept their hospitality they will discover that he possesses not only tho virtues which havo embalmed the memory of Sam Weller's master, but others to which he could lav no claim. exposes tho wickedness and guile of the loU fery interest now aiming to get possession of the state of Louisiana. His experience as an officer of the society for the suppression of vice is abundantly used. Sir Edwin Arnold, on "The Duty and Destiny of England iu India," thinks England should go slow, that Indian populations may keop pace with her policy, and so her expul sion by Russia be made less possible than evor, a result that would be as disastrous to America aa to other Saxon countries. Ho ventures to tiitnic, though, that England would adopt any measure that was for the good of the Indian millions, oven if she know it would result snob a loss to her of India.

Braislia'H Critic Auswercd and Hia Jieinarhn Ucvicivcd. To thp Editor or the liroolilim k'anlp R.P.," in hia letter of January 15 to the Eaole, criticising certain remarkB made by the Rev. Dr. Bratslin of the Washington avenue church, goes somewhat too far, and in doing ao, evinces that he is not thoroughly posted with regard to ths authenticity of Dr. Braitlm's statements.

Ab to the general belief that immersion was the original or New Testament form of baptism, ha is not far wrong in his statement, if he is at all in error a to the exact fractional number of scholars who believe and accept it as such. "11. It. states "it is a remarkably bold assumption that over nine tenths of the scholars of all denominations agree that baptism by immersion ib the New Testament form, when the factremaius that considerably over nine tenths of all the Christians in the world do not practice immersion, but baptise by pouring or xpriukling. It is a)s safe to say that they do not believe it lo be, at least exclusively, the Now Testament form, else it is fair to cupposo they would use it." This assumption is not remarkably hold, as Dr.

Hit has excellent grounds for his assertion. It ia not necessary to commence a detailed analysis of the wotd baptism, nor to fully expound its accented moaning. Tbat baptism by immersiou Is not practiced as often as baptism by sprinklitm does not tr nd to prove that it is becauso baptism by immersion ia not believed lo be the New Testament form. "In the Church of England," according to eminent authority, "up to the time of the reign of Elizabeth it was the custom to immerse infants and the change which then took place (ihc substitution of sprinklins) was ascribed to English divines who sought refuge in Geneva and other places of tho continent, during the reign of Mary. To this day the ritbrio of the Chinch of England requires thot if the godfathers and godmothers 'thall certify him that tho child may well endure it' the officiating priest dip it iu the water discreetly and and it is ouly if thoy shall certify that the child is weak 'that it shall suffice to pour water upon it.

which, however, or sprinkling is now the ordinary The great reflection which It. adjiidees must fall upon tho other nine tenth of Christendom is oasiiy deno away with by the avowal mad in a recent discussion by a Protestant Episcopal minister. "We acknowledge baptism by immersion, our prayer books sanction it and wo will, if requested, baptise by immersion, but wa hold that, baptism by sprinkling is as effectual It generally preferred aud is a more, couvonien practice." That last clause explains it fully. Im. mersion waa and continued to be the practice of the church until such a time as a "more con.

venient form" took its place. "It is indisputable that in the primitive church the ordinary mode of baptism was by immersion." The Baptists claim that the Greok word bapto, to dip or wash, is tho exact xense in which baptism is commanded by Christ, and, claiming this, they simply explain thoir position in not practicinc anothei form that has been adopted by other denominations "as more convenient," by declaring it is their belitf Christ commanded baptism as immersion, and they do not consider they havn anv more right to alter the form of one of His commands because it will be more convenient than to alter another. If ono may be altered as a matter of convenience, why not others for the same reason 7 Therefera they retain immersion. As to the statement made by "11. Ii.

that "the' only instance where the act of baptism ia described is in the baptism of the Holy Ghost (Acts xlvi) when the Holy Ghost ib poured out upon the Gentiles" he is Iu error. Three examples can be immediately cited as evidence. Take the phrases, "Johu baptised in Jordan." Matthew that our Lord, after His baptism, went up out of tho water," Matthew hitlC, that "Philip and th' Ethiopian went down both into the water." This surely does not look as thouch the Baptists had nothing to base their belief upon or that Dr Draislin was as completely out in his statements as ono would infer after reading attack. It can emphatically ba said of his enmmeuts upon Dr. Braislin, "it was hardly fair.

One cannot help calling in question so sweeping an Interest in ono denomination should not Inad na to present a matter of vital importance to another in any but the fairest light. Our religion is the most impoverished kind. If it shuts off all interests in any sect but our own, it is hardly worthy the name aud certainly not worthy ihe teachings of Christ. B. T.

A I Vn Troy and Rochester measures affect only a few of the many municipal questions to bo legislated upon. Whether a general system of municipal government, applicablo alike to all cities, can be devised, is still a subject of debate. At what point tho autonomy of the municipality shall cease and tho authority of tho state shall intorposo also romains nn open question. Not even tho most ardent advocate of local self government has con tended that the cities shall be removed wholly from legislative jurisdiction. That would bo equivalent to abdication by the state of authority over its principal subordinate constituencies.

But tho tendency of the timo toward home renders imperative larger concessions in that direction than havo heretofore been forthcoming. Whatever action may be taken, either in tho legislature or in constitutional convention, should be governed by appreciation of the undosirability of frequent changes, thereafter. To frame an ideal municipal system is easier than to keep voters up to an ideal standard. Given, however, ample opportunity, the cities will have only themselves to blame if their agents go wrong. Their right to choose for themselves is unassailable.

What should now be soberly considered is, how that right can best be advanced by discriminating and consistent upholders alike of the principle of majority rulo and the Democratic doctrine of local self government. Judicial and Other Assessments. Mr. A. R.

Conkling has iutroduced in the assembly a suggestive bill. It prohibits, under penalty of fine or imprisonment, or both, any person seeking appointment or election or candidacy as a judicial officer and any member of his family, from paying any assessment or contribution of money or other valuable thing to any organization or individual. It requires such judicial aspirant, if ho becomes successful, to make and file a comprehensive affidavit to the effect that he has not paid or agreed to 2y such an assessment, or reimbursed or agreed to reimburse anybody for paying it. It will be widely agreed that the prohibition is just and wise. It is not well that a seat on the bench sliould be bought, but that is "just what happens in some places.

The occupant would naturally shrink from that blunt way of putting it. But tho situation is simply this: Ho pays certain thousands of dollars into the party treasury whicti he would not pay if he did not want an' office worth cer taiu thousands of dollars a year. He would not secure the latter if he did not give the former, and euphemistic talk about assessments and maintaining the party and its glorious principles does not change the facts. In connection with this bill thero are several things worth considering. Apart from an especial and respectful delicacy toward judges it is just as bad for anybody else to buy an office and the law ought to deal as sharply with one set of purchasers as another.

The second thing to be remembered is that legislation on the subject is likely to be ineffectual. It is very hard to frame a measure which the skill of counsel and judicial acumen cannot avoid or evade. Under a cast iron statute a candidate may report a total of expenditure which would scarcely suffice to maintain one branch literary bureau. There is an heroic plan by which the demoralizing state of affairs might be improved. Let the people pay candidates' assessments both sides.

If the legislature should make provision under whi tho board of estimate or other local body should appropriate a sufficient sum for this purpose the proceeding would at least be frank and open. Nor would it involve an additional burden upon the taxpayers, such as might be supposed at first. As matter of fact, the taxpayers carry it now. If an office is paid 6'5, 000 a year, and greatly overpaid, let us assume, and the holder is assessed 1,000, tho assessment really comes out of the salary which the city pays. The large relative tax is imposed because tho salary is relatively large, or the salary is large because the assessment is large.

It makes no difference which way you put it. The public in the end meets tho obligation. If, instead of a percentage on compensation, the office purchase or contribution takes the form of a commis sion on jobs, or chances for jobs, the public, the taxpayers, bear that too, through more costly contracts and more expensive work. It is as long as it is broad." The patient people pay at last, whether directly by a legal appropriation, or indirectly by a diversion of part of their expenditures. The "boss" ought to be pleased with tho proposed system, because he is sure to get his money.

The city is an unfailing creditor. The placeholder certainly could not complain. Even the public would be no worse off, because, if the city pays the $1,000 assessment of tho $5,000 officer, the nominal salary of the latter might be made $4,000 without hurting anybody. According to the proposed plan th ere would be less false pretense, less lying, less degrading conduct of various kinds always provided that the modified methods should be honestly and consistently adopted. The danger, manifestly, is that it would not be; that while taking the regular and legal assessment the spoils distributors would coutrivo to mako also au irregular and illegal levy of their own.

But if politicians and statesmen could be induced to "play fair" this ingenious and attractive reform might be well worth trying, though, indeed, playing fair might be fatal to some branches of politics and statesmanship. Just now the reform movement might not be" taken seriously. A Proposed Itcforraalory. A bill has been introduced to provide for the establishment of a reformatory for women, similar to the Elmira reformatory for men, at a cost of Tho purpose is a good one and if effectively carried out the undertaking would be worth a good deal more than tho money mentioned. Punishment cannot be dispensed with under tho present constitution of human nature, but reformation, whero that is practicable, is more profitable and productive, even on merely material grounds, leaviug higher and spiritual considerations out of the question, not to tho individual subject only, but to society.

Not only is the experiment theoretically promising, but it has actually succeeded to an unlooked for degree. If as much can be done for women in this way as has been done for men perhaps more may bo tho effort would command universal approval. By all means let us have a feminino reformatory. Where we shall havo it is a much more doubtful matter. Certain of the rural regions" might contend for it.

Some make a reputation by a single trait or possession. Rochester was famous as the "flour city," and when the great farmers and millers went West she phonetically maintained her celebrity and remained the "flower city." Syracuse has held fast to her savor by moans of her salt works. Lockport is lifted into couspicuity by cnul machinery. So Sing Sing is known to mankind through her prison and Elmira through her reformatory. In a great city it is different.

Such a community does not incline to work out its destiny in such single and narrow fashion. A reformatory which a town of the interior might covet Brooklyn or Now York might not want. Tho history of public charitable and kindred administration in Kings county, even with colonizing aid elsewhere on Long Island, has not been such as to encourage other movements. Even if our charities commissioners should have nothing to do with it and the state should take control, the atmosphere is not regarded as en. couvaging to the project and it would be considered more hopefully iu another situation.

But the feminine reformatory, itself, as an establishment well placed and intelligently managed, will reoeive nothing but approval. Uncertainty still envelops tl.e fate of the tug AVebster and the four scows which were blown out to sea in tho storm of Tuesday night. The exceptional and pathetic phases of the tragedy ought not to obscure the praei tical lesson it teaches. Only tho utmost carelessness can account for the perils to which the crews of the missing crafts wero exposed. Hereafter tho authorities and contractors should havo a care how they send unmanageable vessels abroad in tempestuous weather.

If the AVebster and her scows are lost respon. sibility should be located by a rigid examination. Ex Congressman George West, fresh from Florida, declares that Warner Miller Is "out of politics."

A Number Itieti in Travel, Fiction and Illustration. The February Ijorlbner's has a splendidly illustrated article giving tho very poetry of the picturesque country described, by Sidney Dickinson on "Sheep Ranching Australia." Therein appears a truly pvincoly occupation, as to territorial extent, at least. One old ranchman is many times a millionaire and pastures 70,000 head of cattle one of his stations. Soma of these are of almost fabulous extent, larger at any rate than somo European states. Another ranchman, Allison by name, has in two adjoining stations a territory larger than Belgium, while another, William Halliday, owns 200,000 acres, pasturing 250,000 sheep.

In fact, there la Australian pasturage equal to the area of the New England and Middle States combined.

Opposition charges that the principle has been violated by tho majority in the legislature are without foundation. That majority are in favor of granting tooommunities increasing authority to manage their own affairs. They would have that authority granted, however, under conditions which will bring about practical as distinguished from theoretical reforms.

Essential to extension of the principle aro certain preliminaries that cannot be evaded. Beforo a general modification is made of existing systems the effect of a general act affecting municipalities must be carefully considered. To pass a bill without paving the way for its harmonious and equitable operation would be to make matters worse than they are. In specific localities grave abuses exist. Many of them are due to partisan zeal on one side or tho other.

Not a few are the outgrowth of a shifting in attributable to nat ural causes. Whatever the occasion of these abuses their prompt correction is in order. To the work of wiping them out Democratic legislators have manfully addressed their attention. They should not be dissuaded from carrying it on by overheated protests from defeated partisans. Mombers of the minority who now raise an outcry against partisanship in legislation are the earliest to adopt it when importunity offers.

What the Democrats aro engaged in touching municipal changes is tho intelligent performance of a public not less than a party duty. Consideration of the home rule question is opportune at the present stage. Upon it needed light is thrown by measures now in transit through tho legislature affecting the local governments of Troy and Rochester. In the former city the administration is "non partisan," that is, each party is assured under tho law of equal representation on the local commissions. Tho system was established by the action of Republican legislative majorities during the accidental occupancy of the executive office by Governor Cornell.

Its imposition was a partisan scheme. The city of Troy is Democratic by a very sub stantial majority. With the aid of the legislature the Republicans were enablod to obtain a part of tho "spoils." That was tho purpose of their "non partisan" pretensions. Now that self government has been restored in the state the voters of Troy think it should be restored to their city. Thoy are unaware of any valid reaaon for excepting them from other communities in concessions of political power.

If Now York and Brooklyn, Buffalo and Syracuse are to order their affairs as they please, a similar right should be accorded to Troy. Adoption of the amendments was resisted by tho Republicans on the ground that the people aro favor of equal party representation on the commissions. For that contention the sole warrant is in tho action of a legislature that expired more than a decade since and of an executive long consigned to ob3enrity. Troy will not object to the change proposed. A majority of its citizens will, on the contrary, welcome amendments which restore to them their rights.

Under a proper conception of what home rule signifies it is for them, not the legislature, to say whether Troy shall bo governed by Democrats or Republicans, mugwumps or "non partisans." Contemplated changes in the charter of Rochester; while they differ in detail, illustrate the desirability of timely preparation before tho introduction of a general home rule bill. The measure pertaining to that city increases the number of wards. Its main object is to protect the municipality against unfair legislation by suburban supervisors. Each city ward and each town has one supervisor. Hitherto Rochester has had only sixteen supervisors as against nineteen for tho country towns of Monroe county.

This proportion has been maintained in face of the fact that in the city proper there are 133,8 inhabitants with an assessed valuation of while the towns contain only inhabitants with an assessed valuation of but In annual taxes the city pays and tho towns $106,449. Despite the obvious need of a change the Republicans are opposed to it. Thoy cannot, of course, resist it on honest public grounds. If they could gain or maintain partisan advantage by indorsing tho change no opposition would be manifested. Rather than relinquish what they erroneously deem to bo their "claims," they would doom the town to domination indefinitely by the outlying settlements.

Their resistance shows the extremes to which partisan politicians are prepared to proceed when thoy think their preserves aro trepassed upon. It demonstrates how shallow is the contention of tho minority sjjokesmen at Albany and throughout the stato that grave injustice is being done to the citizens of Rochester by a readjustment of the wards in that city and an addition to their number. The Democratic legislative majority, instead of abandoning the, home rule principle, have in the matters under notice opened the way for its better operation. They will bo justified in pursuing a similar courso toward other cities. In Brooklyn, as in New York, there are special details which iuvite attention.

In both these cities a readjustment of ward lines is in order. On Manhattan Island tho wards, with few exceptions, stand as they did move than half a century ago. Here they are substantially as they wero laid out twenty years since. Population has so shifted in the interval that tho disproportion between given localities is more than grotesque. It is at direct variance with that Democratic theory which would accord equality of representation to every individual.

AVhile the ward as a unit of representation has lost much of its former importance as a political tho principal is as vital as if each ward was entitled to a supervisor, an alderman, an assemblyman, a senator and a member of congress. To incorporate 8,000 persons ward and 80,000 in another is a violation of tho first rule of local self government. Such violations differ in spirit not one whit from the outrageous Republican gerrymander and refusal to reapportion the state which have just been brought to an end. Steps to terminate them should be decisively taken before the public are again called on to moke their choice of agents at the polls. The suggestions raised bj light on the The death is announced of John Gaul Bosnian, M.

of this city, at his residenoo, 70 Pierreoont atreot.at about 3 o'clock P. M. on. Wodnoaday. The melancholy event occurred with extreme anddon ueBBand happily without pain.

Half an hour be fore, the dooeasod practitioner bad been visiting friends and patientB. Coming home to luncheon and afterward going to his office, as his custom waa, he was fennd thirty miuntCB later sitting lifeless in his chair. The cause ef his death was apoplexy. In this instance, as in a majority of the cases in which that complaint inflictB its fatal stroke, the subject of it was a rather tall, extremely thin, though an always aotive and industrious man. Dr.

Rosman was born in Hudson, N. 1., flfty.80ven years ago His father waB Robert Bosman, M. who introduced the practice of the school of homeopathy in this city, after many yoars of praotioo In tho old sohool. He was of tho opinion that a union of the principles of the two Bchools, the tempering of one by create a syatem bolter than either alone. To this conviction he was faithful and in tho prosecution of it he was both successful and respectod.

His son, John Oaul Roanuo, M. the Bubjeot of this biographical allusion, inherited his father's profession and his' father's views, with tho desirable difference, naturally tho outcome of the later timeB and the mellower experience lute which ho lived, of being somewhat more liberal than his diatiuguiahed paront in the application of thoir principles. Tho de ceased physician was graduated by the college ef physicians and surgeons in New York and also by the hoinoopathic college in Philadelphia. Taste, training and oxperience mated with hei redity in his oaae audjinade him a cool, sympathetic, efficiont, trusted and beloved minister of tho gospel of help and healing in tho world. It has been said or hia father and it could be truly Baid of him, that he won the hearts of all silently." Hia practice here lasted for thirty four years.

While he was not a man of mumerpua or miscellaneoaa associations, his fow friendship were with the strong, tho true, the gro.it and the benofioent, and most of thera were limited to the represonta tires of his benign profession. Among tho latter may be mentioned the late Dr. Johu Murray Oarnochan of Now York, tho late Dr. Fordyce Barker of that city, the late Dr. Joseph Chrisman Hutchison of this city, and others.

A man of profound religious faith, Dr. RoBman waa a member of tho First Presbyterian church, at the corner of Clinton and Itomsen streets, of which the late Henry J. Van Dyke, D. LL. was so long tho pastor, and he was a devoted supporter of ita interosls and participant in ita worship.

Dr. Rosman was not a man much given to the ocoaaions of society. Ho preferred that his friends shnuld meot him in his homo, and at times he quietly went to their houses for informal converse and the exchange of greetmgB and im presaionB. He belonged to the Hamilton olub, wherein he was highly esteemed for his sterling personal qualities, reapocted for hia judicious suggestions, and remarked because of his studions habits. He was a raembsr of tho New Vrk jockey club, and, in the best sense ef tho word, ho was a sportsman, being an adept alike with the rod and the rifle and a lover of nature in her grander solitudes.

Dr. Rosmau was one of the earlieBt to discern the advantages of the Adirondack region as a sanitary resort and as a rewarding rosouroe to those in search of exoroise, rest, tranquil asaociatitn and the upbuilding tonic of stream, hike, foreat and mountain. It was his habit to go there at au early period each season and not to return until the obligations of professional duties required him to come out of the woocln. It waa in these wilds, through which fashion and commercial enterprise are now working their transforming way, that many years ago he met Grever Clovelaiid. Between the mon waa a long, strong.

Bincere and unpretentious friendship, uusevered until by death on Tuesday, and none will mere profoundly regret the decease of John Gaul Rosman than the distinguished ex President of the United States. Dr. Rosman was alightly above the medium height, of spare figure usually grave of demeanor, always gentle and refined In manner, and when moved either by friendship or social interest or the inspiration of oocaBion naively humoroUB, qnizzic.il and augaestive. Ho loved his country, he laved hU city, he honored his profession, he adorned the Christian faith, he was oxemplary iu every Hocialjand iiersenal relation, and of him it cwulrl ba said without exaggeration that ho did good and not evil all the days of his life. In formei years, in the better estate ot the repute of that body, he was a member of the board of education, whero he faithfully and ably discharged the duties of hia trust.

His kindred will have the sympathy their friends and of his in tha supreme affliction which has so suddenly befallen them. DIFFERS FROM BLAKKLY HALL. A ItHffiilo Paper on "The HlaNlerlii? Spirit." The BnooiA EAQLEipermits Blakely Hall to say iu its columns It may be considered somewhat cowardly for a nation of 03,000,000 to attack one ot 4,000, 000, or thereabouts, but thero is a larger question than this involved, and in a general way it cannot be denied that a whole souled and enthn ia victory over auy foreign nation would be a glorious thing for tho United States. Few people realize the exact positiou we hold among tho nations of tho world, and it is only when they go abroad tbat they come to appreciate it and observe the difffcreut rank which citizens of foreign countries take. There is not a city iu Europe whero they do not look upon Americans as easy prey.

Then the Eagle's contributor goes on to narrate instances iu which American students or tourists in Europe have been treated with less consideration by the authorities than is shown to visitors from other countries. If the oases mentioned by Mr. Hall Bhow anything they give evidence that the diplomatic service of the United States is less efficient than that of other countries, which can be readily believed inasmuch as our diplomats are all amateurs, while those representing other nations are professionals. Bnt to whatever the general ill treatment of American tourists may be due nothing oan be clearer than that it ia entirely removed from our controversy with Chili, which has to do solely with tho ill treatment of certain American bluejackets by a Valparaiso mob. The citation from tiie Eaolk is worth noticing because similar sentiments have been uttered by people of more consequence than Blakely Hall.

Indeed, the few persons who have been quoted by the newspapers aa expressing themselves in faror of a resort to arms have in almost every ca6e hadsomethiug to say about the insolence of South Americans in general, or the need which tho truculent Chilians have long shown of a taking down, or the benefit to a country of au occasional war. This way of looking at tho question atissne is Bimply allocking after all the American protestations of a love for peace. It is attributable, in part at least, to the country's recent acquisition of an effective navy, and is to be explained by the childish desire to try a now toy of whioh possession haB been gained. Let us have no more assertion! that a victory over auy foreign nation would be a glorious thing for the United States. It would be a shameful thing unless we had our quarrel just, and even then there would ba no glory in it unless the contending parties stood on even terms.

On the other hand, there is glery for a powerful nation in the fact that it is alow to anger and willlngto forbear when an affront is received from a country which it could readily crush. It would be a matter for profound pride hereafter if the Americans could say that they refrained from making war on Chili in spite of great provocation, but there would be no satisfaotien In re. membering that they yielded to that provocation, whatever the results. If lncroasing the military nnu naval power of the United States is goine to haTe the effect of making us a poople qniok to take affront and jealously sensitive about the ''exact positian we hold among the nations of the world," appropriations for ships and great guns may not be so easy to get bereaftoras they havo bsen of lata. The common American idea of war is that it is a terrible measure, to which rocource should ba had enly in dire extremity, and not merely a 'convenient means of showing the world how powerful wo are and how exacting iu our treatment of other people who are unfortunate enough to hare dealings with us.

There was a time when the ships of all other nations were required to strike thoir colors to the British flag simply because Britannia ruled the wave. That is not a kind of spirit that would receive much encouragement to day, at least from the Ameri. can people. BuJTalo Courier COLUMBIA SGHUETZEN CORPS.

The attention of the town board of health will be called to the matter at its regular meeting in February. There are three oemetorios in the town at proa, ent, ooverlug about twenty fire acres of land. The members of the German Lutheran Ziod churoh of the villago of Oanaraio deny any knowledfft of the MIL The Gold Mines in the County Clerk's and Sheriff's Offices. There Will be No More Fortunes Made From Fees in Kings County if Senator Coggoskall's Bill Becomes a Law A Hearing' on the World Fair Appropriation Bill. Special to the Eagle.

Albany, N. January 28. The full text of tho bill intreduced in the senate by Senator Henry J. Coggeshall of the Tn on ty second dietrlot, which gives the boards of supervisors in the several counties of the stato power to make the offices of county clerk and sheriff salaried offioes is given below. Tho bill doos not do away with the fee syitem, which has been regarded as objectionable, bnt it provides that tho fee which are cellectod under the present law shall still be collected.

They arc to bo turned over to the county treasurer, however, instead of being kept by the county clerk or sheriff. All of the employes in the county clerli'd offlco are to be paid by the county out of any available fnuds. The bill reads: Sectios 1. Except in the counties where tho office is now by law a salaried office, the board of supervisors of each county in the state may by resolution duiy adopted at any annual meeting or at a special meetihg duly called lor that purpose, determine that the office of county clerk or tho office of Bheriff, or bth of such offices, shail thereafter be salaried ofllces and that the incumbent of the ofBco hall receive as compensation for all official services an annual salary to be fixed and specified in bucIi resolution. Such res olntion shall be entered in the minutes uf the board and a copy thereof certified by the clerk of tho board shall be filed in the office of the clerk tho oounty and recorded in the book of miscellaneous records.

The resolution Blial! lako effect at tho expiration of the term of the rifhcer whose salary is so fixed and who is iu ollioe at the time tho resolution is adooted. Sec. 2. From the time such resolution takes effect, the officer specified therein shall not be allowed or paid, nor shall he receive anything for hia" official bervices or for any Berrices which he or any subordinate, deputy, assistant, clerk or employe is required or authorized by law to perform by rirtuu of hia office, except the annual salary apeciiled in such resolution. Sec.

3. Every officer from and after the time when audi resolution takes effect shall for every official act done or service reudeied by hun, hia BiiburdinateB, deputies, assistants, clerks or employes, charge and collect from the person required by law to pay the same, the full amou of fees, emoluments and perquisites which he or they would be entitled to receive for any such act or service if the office had not been made a salaried office. He shall keep in hii office in the proper book or booka to be provided for that purpose at tho expense of the county an exact and true account of all ofhoul Hcrrices performed by him. hia subordinates, deputies, assistants or employes, and of all fees, porquisitea and eiuolu. ments received or chargeable by him or them, Eursuant to law or which he or they would have een entitled to receive had not the office been made a salaried office.

Communications unless accompanied with sttmped envelopes will not be returned. The United Stale Cannot Afford to Do Wroacr. Better than the unexpected is said to have happened. On Tuesday tho answer of Chili was regarded as such that peaee, by effort, could tie preserved between tbat country and the United States. To day the assurance is giren that the answer removes even any pretext for further strained relations.

Chili is reported to have renounced oppressions offensive to this country in the note to the various powers; to hnve conrieded the right of political usyhim to hove recalled her request that Patrick Egan be withdrawn to have regretted, apologized for and admitted the claim of indemnity for the Baltimore affair, and to have asked the United States to select any arbiter they prefer to determine what amount of indemnity should be exacted and to whom it should be paid. All this has been agreed to by Chili, without a knowledge of the language of President Harrison's message to congress. That message has not yet been received in Santiago. Only a bald synopsis of it has been telegraphed. The response of Chili has been elicited solely by the ultimatum of this government dated January 21.

The adequacy of the ultimatum is more gratifying to the people than it possibly can prove personally agreeable to the President for it shows that his bellicoso message was unnecessary. Had he waited a day or two, the President could have reported the adjustment of a difficulty which his premature message had a tendency to aggravate rather than to settle The lesson in favor of deliberation is one which ought not to be lost. The United States would stand better had this lesson been earlier learned. There was no demand from cougresB, the press or the people that Presideut Harrison should be iu a hurry to speak. The ultimatum was telegraphed on the 21st.

It reached Santiago Borne time the next day. The president of Chili was not at the capital. The season is Bummer there now. He was absent, a two days' journey, at a mouutain pleasure resort. The fact was telegraphed to Washington with a request that tsvo days 1)3 allowed in which to communicate with him.

The two days ended on Sunday night. Monday morning came dispatches to the effect that the Chilian government was disposed to comply with nearly all the demands of the United States and to leave all the rest to impartial arbitration. Till that disposition could be verified or refuted, the President's message could well have been held back. But if it was held back, the chances were that any opportunity to send it In at all would pass away. Accordingly it was sent it on Monday morning.

On Tuesday came the evidence which tended to show that the message was unnecessary. On Wednesday camo the corroboration of Tuesday's evidence. In the circumstances, the persuasion is hard to resist that the precipitate action of Monday was for political effect. Such was the conviction of Representative Breckinridge. His resolution on Tussday jhowed that fact.

It called for all the Chilian advices to hand when the message was sent to congress. The reference of the resolution to tbeforeigu relations committee was proper. The discussion which arose accomplished the object of the mover of the resolution. That object was to attach political i I tive to the course of the President, to lend the men of the country to a deliberate study of the caee, in lieu of a. superficial and is I Bionate view of it, and to arrest within the Democracy any tendency to be stampeded into the support of a partisan Republican programme.

All these results have been secured. Chili's response makes other than a wanton recourse to war here impossible, unless unrevetili'd and unsuspected circumstances show that Chiii is acting in bad faith. A wanton recourse to would never command the approval of American people and cannot bo regard id as within the intendment of the administration. The Democracy has avoided the danger of being carried away by its impulses into hasty declarations. The President, is generally deemed to have acted with undue suddenness in the regrettable endeavor to turn an apparent emergency to a political gain.

The sober second thought of the press and of the people has set in and sanity, self respect and magnanimity have taken the place of braggadocio and bullying. This has not been due to the message. It has occurred in spite of the message. The message was inopportune. The papers which printed it on Monday afternoon also printed intimations from Chili th at its demands would be granted.

On Tuesday came the report that they had been granted. On Wednesday, as said already, Tuesday's news was continued. It is hardly to be doubted that ere long the country will learn either that the administration knew that. Chili would back down, when the message was sent in, or that Minister Patrick Egan withheld the fact from the administration, iu order to let the message lie sent in "for all it was" politically "worth." One or the other of these conclusions was in the mind of Mr. Breckinridge.

The establishment of correctness of either in the near future is not unlikely. If realized, the resultant mortification will be strong and long. A President who is a candidate for rctiomi nation not appeal fo the war making power of congress iu a year of national election, unless for the gravest reason. His interest in succeeding himself is too great to render toying with ich a power less or other than what Charles nulled "a terrible temptation." His liability to be self deceived is equal to his chance of Vicing suspected and misconstrued. If his appeal succeeds, the vast, agencies intrmtfrd to him will be sure to expose his use of them to a criticism not to be coveted.

If he fails, his failure, under partisan accusation, will be made seem like a baffled attempt, to employ the military power for partisan ends. On nil accounts, therefore, the ill timed and unnecessary message of Monday is to be regretted. Its evicton from the public memory is soon as possible is to be desired. The subject cannot be rightly dismissed, however, without calling to mind the gain to the people from the struggle within parties of hostile factions and between parties of hostile Munitions. A war, no matter how effected, was certain to renominate Presideut Harrison md "turn down" the desire of tho idolators or of the speculators in Blaine to nominate him.

Both facts made the President and his rapporters a little too ranch 2arties in Interest to render them judicial Btudents managers of the situation. On the other Doir Off (iuard. Mr. Holman has put iu peril hi3 title to be called the "Watch Dog of the Treasury." Ho docs not to think that (he already enormous national expenditure on account of pensions sufficiently expresses tho country's gratitude to the participants in the late war. lie proposes an outlay which would add several millions annually to the heavy burden at present borne.

Coming from him tho proposal is extraordinary. It is in the nature of a bill which provides that there shall be allowed to every noncommissioned officer, musician, artificer, wagoner, private soldier, sailor, marine and all soldiers mustered into the military service of the United States who faithfully served as such and who were honorably discharged the sum of a month for all the time of their actual service between the 12th of April, 18(51, and the 9th of May, 18(15. For a watch dog nobody can deny that this is uncommonly generous. Mr. Holman has enjoyed a peculiar reputation on account of the zeal displayed by him iu tripping up bills presented by other members who were tempted by the spectacle of an overflowing treasury to dense expedients for relieving its superabundance.

His apostacy at this late da' is inexplicable both to his friends and his enemies. They are simply dumbfounded. One result of the introduction of the bill is to correct the impression that prevailed in some quarters that the existing pension list includes about everybody who ever smelt gunpowder during the late "unpleasantness." There appear to be some wagoners, musicians and mule drivers who have been inadvertently omitted. They have succeeded in so exciting Mr. Holman's sympathy that a long and honorable record of rigid economy does not prevent him from offering this practical method of remedying tho neglect.

AVhile it is pleasant to know that his heart is not made of stone, the country which confronts a treasury deficit will scarcely regard the bill as a timely expression of his tenderness. As objects of national admiration wagoners, musicians and mule drivers have claims which cannot be denied, but while the nation is casting around for the means to meet its necessary current expenses they should feel enough pity for it to restrain Mr. Holman. Jlarcli of Peace. "There is a general feeling in Great Britain," says the Louisville Courier Journal, "that the United States, giving herself so many airs fur a new nation, needs thrashing, while the same feeling exists here that Great Britain, rendered insolent by so many successes, is the country that needs it, although neither is anxious to administer to tho other what it considers the proper thing." We should be very sorry to believe that this was an accurate description of the state of public sentiment iu the two countries.

There is no good reason to suppose that it is. On the contrary, there is manifest a decided disposition to settle all differences by arbitration. The commercial rivalry between "England and tho United States has not within the hist quarter of a century excited any bitterness that tho good sense of either did not prompt them to repress. It would be entirely within the bounds of truth to say that the mass of Englishmen and Americans profoundly share the conviction that a war between the two great representatives of the English speaking race would be a reproach to civilization and Christianity. The influence of their warlike traditions has sensibly declined.

The social ties that bind them have vastly increased. Intermarriages within a recent period have added a powerful incentive to the perpetuation of tho existing amity. London has eclipsed Paris us the favorite resort of our countrymen and women. There is no more striking instance in the his tory of the truth of the saying, that commerce is the conservator of the peace of nations, than the fraternization which we to day witness between citizens of the two countries. For can there be much doubt that tho elapso of time will servo to strengthen and solidify the friendly spirit thus displayed The evolution of humanity is upward, not downward: it is a progress, not a retrogres sion.

At the head of advancing civilization marcues me Anglo i uixon race, Uur peace societies, councils of arbitration and parlia mentary delegations to arrange a system for the adjustment of international differences are the indices of this upward and onward movement. In tho not. distant future we shall look back to our huge armament and enginery ot war ana wonder Unit Lmris tijiu people could ever submit to ho stultify themselves. fCouwc in Order. According to Washington dispatches in the esteemed lU.rtild the Democrats! in congress intend to accept the cuggehtion made iu these columns looking to a caucus at an early day Adjustment of the Chilian difficulties removes theni from the domain of caucus consideration.

There remain, nevertheless, for imme diate discussion tho vital questions of the tariff and silver. That on these important subjects the members of the majority are ut cross purposes is dismally apparent at every stage of committee and house proceedings. The ultra low tariff men and tho conservative tariff reformers tire as far apart as they wore before Mr. Crisp was elected to the speakership. The free coinage men are visibly not less resolute than their adversaries in their determination.
