EBNSBURC. PA FRIDAY. - - APRIL 17, 1885. England and Russia are both mak ing the biggest kind of preaparations for war. and it looks as though a formal declaration to that effect cannot long be dt'atjed. General Grant was coach better from last buuday night up to Wednes day evening, tban at any time during the last two weeks. His physicians, boweyer, are not at all hopeful. Wm. Y. McGrath, of Philadelphia, ws State Treasurer in 13C3, died : ipf May after a brief illness on last Tm'wilxy. Several years ago he was v pcnDinent as a Democrat in Phlla- :,i .elitics. and his genial manners - a :,r t im hosts of friends. Tub. Prohibition State Committee met at Pittsburg on Monday last, and after re-electing Hon. A, A. Barker, of this place, Chairman for the ensuing year, decided to hold the State convention at Harrisburg, oa Tuesday the 25th of next August. The representation in the Convention was fixed as follows : four delegates for each Assemblyman, two for each Sectorial district, and one from each Congressional district. This would make the Convention consist of about P30 members. It if reported from Harrisburg that Mrs. Hunt, of Boston, the temperance lecturess.lwho labored so diligently to get the scientific Temperance-Study bill through the Legislature of this State, is now writing to the members, asking them to nave introduced into the schools of their districts the book she has writ ten on that subject. This was predict ed, as we said last week, and reminds tas of the story told about two enterpri sing Yankees who traveled through Jfew Jersey, one of them a few days in advance of the other. The one who was ahead had the itch, and bad it bad fchook hands with every man and woman be met, giving all of them the disease, which his partner who followed him la ter on, proposed to cure with a patent itch ointment of their own invention, ft large supply of which he carried with him. Ws can hardly believe the statement although It is current in Washington, that two weeks ago Ben. Butler called upon Mr. Bayard, Secretary of State, and asked him to appoint one of his (Buyer's) friend3 to a position In the department over which Mr. Bayard pre sides. We don't Buppose there Is a man in this broad Union for whom Thomas II. Bayard entertains such su preme contempt as he does for Benja min F. Butler. Butler is aware of this for Mr. Bayard has frequently given pub lic utterance to his opinion of him, and Ben is too shrewd a politician rashly to court a rebuff from the man from Dela ware. If, however, the story is true, Butleila chees is only equalled by that of some Republican postmasters who expect a Democratic administration to continue them In office. It is a standing rule of the Legisla ture that the Committee having charge of the General appropriation bill, must report the same to the House on or be fore the first Monday in March. On that day of the present session the Chair man of the Committee reported a skele ton bill to the House in order to make h mere formal compliance with the rule, but the real bill and the one that the House will have to consider, was not reported until last Monday evening, a month and ten days after the time re quired by the rule. It is always the most important bill of a session, because Its purpose is to divert money out of the Treasury to defiay the expenses of the State government for two years. The specific items in every bill of the kind must necessarily be nearly the same, and why It should take the Committee three months in finding out what the necessary items are, is a question which the Committee alone can explain. We confess that we cannot. Caiiter II. Harrison was elected Mavor of Chicago foi the fourth time last week. His majsritj is not large, but it is enough. His enemies could probably have defeated him i they had not nominated that political trimmer, John J.- Finert), who was worsted for re-election to Congress last November, for City Treasurer, for the purpose of scooping in the Irish vote. The exper iment was a dismal failure. The war fare by the Republican newspapers against Harrison was conducted with unprecedented bitterness, which always creates a feeIing;of sympathy for the person assailed, and it had that effect In favor of Harrison. Being fairly beat en in the contest, his enemies now raise the yell of "Fraud" and want a recount of the ballot boxes, to which Harrison gives his consent. He is a man of brains and great decision of character, and will compara favorably with the Mayors of any of our large cities, and especially with the present Republican Mayor of Philadelphia, whose name is Smith. Governor Pattison has commenced writing veto messages. In which he Is au expert, and on Monday last Bent to the Senate his veto of the bill providing for an additional Jaw judge in the Ches ter county district. He objects gener ally to the bill because " the number of Judges in the Commonwealth is already so large and the expense of maintaining the Judicial system so great, that an ad dition to either can only be justified by the most urgent necessity, or tb? plain est Constitutional command." Hisspe cific objection is that the Judicial Ap portionment til! was passed only a little more than eighteen months ago that the Chester district was Constituted by that act that the County since then has not increased much, if any, in popu lation, nor has anything occurred to largtl augment id judicial business. There are two or three other bills of a a'mil ir nature before the Legislature, but this veto of the Chester County bill has knocked the life out of them and we presume they will be abandoned. The vetivrd ti!i tu jvt, or course, be passed vt-r lhe Governor's objections, but that 'K'" cmj 3 u-ji at ail Jifrelv. In au article elsewhere published in our paper the President states the rea sons that governed him in reappointing nenry O. Pearson as Postmaster at New York. It will be seen that the reasons come through a member of the Cabinet and as Mr. Cleveland has not repudia ted them, we assume that the statement is correct. Are these reasons such as to jnstiry the appointment ? In our judgment they are amply sufficient. Mr. Pearson voted for Blatne, but he took care that the New York postoffice was not used by Blaine's friends to promote his success in that State. It is admitted on all hands that without the vote of the Indedendent Republicans for Cleveland he couldn't have carried New York and would not be President to-day. Their Totes, together with some solid work against Blaine by Conkling and his friends, turned the tide of battle and made straight the path of Cleveland to the White nouse. Suppose that In Oc tober last, when the campaign was at its hottest, the Democratic party, inside as well as outside of New York, had been called upon to decide whether the New York postoffice should be retained by Fearson in consideration 'of the vote of the Independent Republicans in that State being cast solidly for Cleveland, would not the answer have been almost unanimous in the affirmative ? To ask the question is simply to answer it. While the leading Independent Repub licans in New York have not asked Mr. Cleveland for offices for themselves. they unanimously prepsed upon him the retention of Mr. Pearson in the New Y'ork postoffice. In conducting which he bad given such universal satisfaction. Mr. Clevelaud yielded to their request and at the same time discharged a debt of gratitude he owed to the Independ ents. It was a fair business transaction, honorable alike to all engaged in it, and so far as we are aware, is sanctioned by the Democrats in the city of New York, the men who have the best right to com plain, if there was any good reason for doing so. Even if the President should be of the opinion that the Independents of New York are fairly entitled to some thing more than the resppolntment of Pearson, and should give it to them, we do not believe it would cause any heart burning in the Democratic camp. Governor Pattison has been so clear in hi9 high office and has so often extorted our feeble commendation for the manner in which he has discharged its duties, tnat we find it exceedingly unpleasant to be compelled to differ with him, as we most, emphatically do, in regard to his reappointment of Dr. Higbee to be Superintendent of Public Instruction. We say this not because we know of anything that militate? against Higbee 's qualifications for the place, but for other considerations. In the first place, he is a Republican and as politics now go, and especially among Republicans, that fact of itself ouuht to exclude him from being invested with an office of honor and profit by an Ex ecutive who stands, or ought to stand, for the true Democracy of the State. In the second place be ought not to have been taken into the Governor's confi dence when there were Democrats of acknowledged purity of character and fully as competent for the position as Dr. Higliee, who were desirous to be se lected. Oiie of these candidates was cleaily ertitled to the honor. A Gover nor who, wi'.h h:s eyes open and his fac ulties unimpaired, deliberately confers remunerative office upon apolitical eue my, must of necessity forfeit the respect and confidence of his party. Higbee's appointment under all the circumstan ces is widely cliff-rent from that of Pearson to the New Yoik post. .(lure by Mr Cleveland. In that ras-there was what lawyers call a quid pro quo, or a mutual consideration, while between the Governor and his party and Higliee. there wasn't even a shred of anything of the kind. Just at the time Gov. Pat tison was generous enough to send Dr. Higbee's name to the Senate over the beads of Drmocrats equally competent yand with strong claims upon their par ty, the Republican members of the Leg islature were diligently at work through their infamous Congressional and State Apportionment bills disfranchising hun dreds and thousants of Democrats all over the State. When we look upon this latter picture and then upon Hig bee's appointment ty a D mocrati.j Gov ernor, we feel as though thetimen were sadly out of joint, so 'ar, m least, as the Governor is concerned. The new Prohibitory law for the State of Maine went into effect on Tues day of last week, and on the next day Chief Marshal Andiews, of the vity of Portland, remarked: "There is no longer an open liquor shop or anything approaching it 'u Portland. The liquor business of the city is now in the haMls of bottle men." Hy " Utt le m-u " he meant an enterprising class of iudividu als with an eye to the main chance, each of whom supplies himself with a bottle from which he peddles out drinks. Of course, they are all liable to arrest, but they seem willing to take the risk. Neal Dow exprexses his belief that vrv little good will result from this new law which has tx-en passed to enforce the Prohibitory Amendment to the Const! tntion adopted by the people of Maine at the State election last Sept emter, and for or against which, as every one will remember, Mr. lilaine refused to vote. Maine acknowledged that her Prohibi tory statute didu't prohibit when she put a Prohibitory amendment into her Constitution last September, and it tviW now be demonstrated whether she m any better off, so far as whiskey drinking is concerned, than Kansas or Iowa, whete Prohibition by Constitutional amend ment is conceded to be a sigol failure.

A Cabinet officer is quoted here as having given to a friend the following statement in re gard to the President's reasons for re nominating Postmaster Pearson : It was not a thing that especially concerned me or my department, but the Presi dent was courteous enough to state his rensoi.s to me, and ask for my opinion. "I am under great obligations to the liberal Republican preia," said the President in opening the subject, "and I must repay the oiligalioo in some way which will properiy express my ap preciation of the services rendered. Shortly atter the New Year. I had con veyed to Mr. George William Curtis an intimation that I should like to show mv sense of the importance in which I held his most valuable assistance, and that rendered by the New York Times, Herald, and the Evening Pott during the canvass, by a consultation wltn him self and the gentlemen representing those journals as to the best and most proper mode of acknowledging this ob ligation in some official way before the country. The proposition was met, as I felt it would be, in the spirit I made it. "Mr. Curtis said that, for himself, he neither sought nor desired any official position, that whatever service he bad rendered bad been given under a pro found sense of right, and in the success of the principles be had so long advo cated he had received the only recom pense he desired. The other gentlemen, who had brought to my support the im portant journals mentioned, replied in the same manner as did Air. Cuitis. None of them wished anv official recog nition, holding that a higher duty to the country made It desirable that they should not be fettered by the obligations of office. Tbey wished, however, to be considered as the warmest friends of my administration In the direction of re form ; and I assured them that their in terest was very gratifying, and their wishes when expressed would certainly have great weight. "lhe thing that most impressed me in these interviews waa that m no way did these Independents evince any de sire to stipulate tor place. I would gladly have tendered Mr. Curtis an Im portant foreign appointment it is be lieved the President meant the mission to the court of S. James, but my inti mation to that effect was met by him with so much film, courteous determi nation to adhere to his views that I said no more. Mr. Schuiz positively declin ed to tafce office, and Mr. Jones, of the Times, and Mr. James Gordon Bennett expressed themselves in the same man ner. "When the matter of Mr. Pearson's reappointment came up fur considera tion, I, throuith personal friends, invit ed some expressions of opinion from the gentleman alluded to. It was unani mous in favor of Mr. Pearson's contin uance in t'ffice. I had said early in the canvass that faithful, unpart'.san dis charge of duty was incumbent upon all officials. This Mr. Pearson had espe cially ennphaniz-d In his course during the Presidential contest. His opponents were many and formidable. Sme of the Republican leaders particularly wished to see him dishonorably dis charged, Ivcause he refused, in the heat of the canvass, to permit the postoffice to le made a political machine. I stat ed these views to the members of my cabinet who are from New York, and they fully aereetl with me in the propri ety of renominating Mr. Pearson. It is a matter in which New York, as a city, is mote interested than any other part of the country c-n le. I believe the good setise of the whole country will aoprove my course. But I know I am right, and there I mean to staud or fall." Blrton and Cunningham. Nkw York, April 11.

A few days ago the apprehensions of a conflict between England and Russia, with a little strip of Afghan territory for a pretext, had almost subsided. The Russians had consented to a Joint Com mission to settle the disputed question of the Pendjeb, and there was reason to believe that no hostilities would take place pending the efforts to make an ad justment by arbitration. As the delib erations of a Commission are slow, the probabilities of an Anglo-Russian war were dismissed for subjects of more im mediate interest. But in a trice the entire situation is changed. The Rus sians have marched into the disputed territory and defeated the Afghan allies of England with great slaughter. The attack of the Russians was made, tbey allege, in consequence of the" hostile proceedings " of the Afghans; but in what these proceedings consist does not appear, By their own accounts the Rus sians have opened the war, and tbey are doubtless prepared to meet the conse quences that must flow from this grave step. The English Government has declared the Russian version of the territorial dispute with the Afghans was inadmis sible, and that England would regard a Russian invasion of the peacefnl val ley of the Pendjeh as a hostile act. There seems now no retreat for the English from war unless the Russian Governmet should promptly and explic itly disown the actions of its military subordinates iu Asii. But from recent indications it is believed that the Czar has been gained over by the war party. In this case there will be no explanation, the claim of Russia to the disputed re gion will be insisted upon, and war will be inevitable. Iu the Russian Empire, with its enormous standing armies and with a powerful military aristocracy eager for the glory and the spoils of con quest, there is always a formidable war party whenever a dispute arises, wheth er with Turkey, Germany or England. In this quarrel, which preseuis the op portunity of extending Russian conquest in Asia, it will be bard for the Czar to resist the demands of his army when there is no such thing as an intelligent public opinion in the Empire to decide for peace. Should war result from the dispute in Afghanistan, it will be short, sharp and decisive, as neither party is in a condi tion to endure a long conflict. The first movement of the English will be to close the Russian ports on the Baltic and Black seas. Turkey may make a feele protest against the passage of the Dardanelles, but the wishes of the Sul tan will have to yield to the military necessities of England. Russia's only field of military operations against Eng land is in Asia, where the Czar can muster immense armies to threaten the British Empire in India. Against an invasion of India the English have strong defense in a disciplined army of Sepoys, iu the lorg distance to which the Russians would be drawn fiom their base, and in the friendship of the native populations. The decisive battle of this war may be fought somewhere on the banks of the Ganges or the Brah mapooia. Philadelphia Record. "What Makes Bad Times." The New York Sun recently had a notable article under the caption or " hat Makes the B id Times ? " In reply to a correspondent who attributes the depies sion to the withdrawal of national bank notes from circulation, the Sun shows that money "was never so cheap as now, and that as the depression extenls throughout Europe as well as the Uni ted States, it cannot be attributed to a gold standard or to tariff laws, nor to anything iu the condition of our ship ping and ocean transportation, for it ex ists in England where there is an un precedented exteosion of the merchant marine, just as severely, or even more so, than in this country, where for many years our merchant marine has been gradually declining. Nor yet is it caus ed by failure of the crops or by wars or famines in any uait of the world. The crops have generally been good for sev eral years, and dj wars or famines of any account have existed. Yet we may say in a general way that the dtpression is the result of over production, that is to say, of spending money and labor in ways that are cot profitable and tint give no return." The Sun concludes as follows; "Yet, while this great col lapse is indisputable and irresistible, we ma well be contented ovei the fact that it is not so destructive as might be, and that business is quite as good and the situation of the country quit6 as en couraging as we ought to expect. There are many wotkers out of employment, and hardly any enterprise is making much money, yet most people are get ting enough to eat and wear, and are living along iu happiness with reasona ble economy. The country is rich and sound at the core ; and when all the in flated and delusive concerns are settled up and cleared away, we shall find tha we are a great deal better off than the philosophers of calamity and despair have imagined.
