The Government of Austria would not need a Minister here until the United States consents to send one to Austria. Arrangements are be- ing made at the latter Court for the ap- pointment of a United Btates Minister, and similar arrangements are being made here. The person likely to be ap- pointed is ex-Gov. Curtin, of Pennsyl- | vania. He has served his country be- fore in the diplomatic service, and as he is about to retire from Congress he has expressed himself as not in the least ad- verse to accepting either the Austrian or the Turkish mission. It is said that the former has been chosen for the old War Governor, Pennsylvania has not reecived a diplomatic appointment, and, besides, this will serve as a sortof balm i for the wound inflicted at the beginning lof the last session when Gov, Curtin was Ex-Gov. {Curtin has never gotten®over this insult from Carlisle and Secretary Bayard, and it is thought this offer is a peace of- (fering. rem ——— — PLAYING WITH FIRE.

We suffer relatively as much from the absence of American ships as we gain by our ownership of railroads. We might as well and should have an equal share of the carrying trade on the high seas but the fact boldly con- fronts us that we are unable to hold a respectable portion of our own trade. As a great nation we are developing our powers and resources with matchless EXPRESS COMPANIES LIABLE. That a common carrier has no right to] limit its liability is the pith of an opin-| ion delivered this mornibg by Justice Green, of the Bupreme court, There | was an action to recover the value of al $300 diamond pin lost while in the hands| ofithe Adams Express co, in transit be-| tween Pittsburg and Springfield, Mass. | The express co, claimed that as the ship-| pers had placed no egpecial value on the] article they had no right to recover in excess of $50, the amount mentioned in | company’s general contract with ship-| pers. After discussing the varions ques-| tions of law involved, the court goes on| to say: “The express company in the present strides, We are surpassing other coun tries in the extent and the efficency of of national wealth and American is able to compete with any of his neighbors in this direction, but when he reaches the seaboard he must stop, and the liberal, broad minded Eng- lish with theirimmense carriers enter our ports and bear away the results of our products to other countries.

Twenty years ago American ships and American seamen were second to none. Our navigation lawe brought great wealth to the country which now enhances the purse of the English.

Bostos, Nov. 20.

Alexander McClure, of The Philadel phia Times, writes: “If Cleveland keops Charles A. Dana, of The New York Bun, antagonizes the above with the following: “He should, in most respects, do d fforently from what he has done during the last two years” Samuel Bawles, of The Springfield Repub ean, says: ‘Heo should steadfastly live up to the principles enumerated in his letter ac- cepting the nomination for the presidency, and in his letter of Dec. 25, 1884, to George William Curtis” F. W. Dawson of The Charleston News and Courier, writes: “Let him goon to the end in the way he has been going from the beginning.” AM. M. Gillam of The Philacisiphia Record, says: “That ho should fill the offices with wide-awake representative Democrats as speedily as possible, under liberally in- torpreted civil service rules, and allow the men so appointed to work for the party.” Mellville E.
