THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1882.
A Baited Bally.
Mr. Blaine's testimony before the com
mittce shows that President Arthur was
m:ile fully acquainted with the instruc
tiens taken out by Mr. Trescott, and
that he sanctioned the policy declared by
his secretary of state; a policy which
m rpvirspd within a few weeks' time
by Mr. Blaine's successor, also with the
sanction of President Arthur ; who
therefore appears before the country as
either a very stupid or a very vacillating
executive. It is hardly a desirable po
sition for a president te occupy if he can
help it ; which we incline te think that
he cannot ; nature net having made him
te shine in a great place.
We must believe that Mr. Blaine read
' te him, as be says he twice did, his Peru
vian dispatches. The query is, did
Arthur understand them ; or was he
but wax inFrelinghuysen's hands as in
Maine's, adopting the different opinions
of each as each presented them from his
chair as secretary of state ? Possibly
the fact is that Mr. Blaine tells the
truth mere in letter than in spirit. Pos
sibly lie reads these dispatches te Hie
president in such a way or with such
comment as te obscure their real pur
pose. Mr. Blaine is an apt iiand at that
game, lie is an unscrupulous user of
words. He may be called a natural-born
falsifier. He tried histalentupoiiMr.Bel histalentupeiiMr.Bel histalentupoiiMr.Bel
meut, his Democratic examiner before
the committee, and with some success se
far as raising a laugh in the room
against his less versatile opponent went.
A reporter describes the contest as re
sembling the shaking by a terrier of a
rat ; and it is probably a fair description.
We observe at any rate that the rat get
the terrier by the ear and hung en te it
stoutly, exciting Maine te violent ges
ticulation and declamation te threw
him off. Perchance it was a ease, tee. of
the cat playing with the mouse, when
Blaine was getting Arthur's endorse
ment of his Seuth American policy ; a
play which was eminently successful
at the time, but which new does net new
appear te be as much se.
Mr. Maine was greatly troubled by
Mr. Belmont's persistent desire te knew
just what he meant by his direction te
the American minister te call Peruvian
attention te the Landreau claim. Mr.
Blaine said he meant no mere than Sec
retary Fish had in doing the same thing.
The latter had however especially in
structed our minister te present the mat-
tcr "uneilicially," cautioning him that
it was the settled policy of our govern
ment in such cases te extend te its citi
zins only its friendly eflices with foreign
pawers against which they had
claims. Mr. Bla:ne had net given
this caution, nor had he used the
word " unofficially" in his instructions ;
which were moreover drawn in language
capable, of a warlike interpretation
which the pronouncedly pacific words of
Mr. Fish absolutely forbade. Minister
Hurlbut, according te his brother's testi
mony, had furthermore been distinctly
impressed by Mr. Blaine with the idea
that Mr. Blaine e policy was vigorous
and war threatening. Yet Mr. Blaine
swears that se far as the Landreau claim
was concerned he had no thought of
threatening force any mere than Mr.
Fish had ; and that the emission of the
word " officially " in his dispatch had no
significance. Ilecavertsabuut in a frantic
way upon the witness stand in the effort
te trample upon his examiner for sug
gesting that it was of any cmseuuerxe
whether the minister was instructed
te intervene officially or unofficially.
He wants te knew whether his examiner
knows what " unofficially" signifies !
And when he is reminded that he is the
witness, he testifies " tlr.it the word
'unofficially' is used as a qualification.
It is te give distinct information that,
while the claim is believed te be a just
claim, it is net the intention of the gov
ernment te make a demand for its pay
ment te be backed up by force," which
is giving it all the significance claimed
for it by the examiner, who criticised
his failure te employ it in the dispatch
which Blaine had claimed te be as pacific
"without it as that of Mr. Fish with it."
Blaine is a natural bully ; as he sought
te bully Peru, se he undertook te bully
Belmont.
It may be, as he thiuks, that his policy
would have gained its purpose in Seuth
Americandipleniacy without war. It may
be true that Frelinghuysen's reversal of it
has given English speculators possession
of the country. One thing at least is
certain, that between the policies of the
two secretaries the United States have
fallen into humiliation and discredit in
Seuth American diplomacy.
It was error te assume that the va
cancy in the beard of county auditors,
caused by the death of Jehn K. Heed, is
te be filled by appointment of the court
of quarter sessions, until the next gen.
eral election, under the act of 1834. The
new constitution, article XIV, in chang
ing the mode el electing commissioners
and auditors, also provided, in section 7,
that any casual vacancy occurring in
either of these offices "shall be filled
for the unexpired term, presumably by
the court of common pleas," "by the
appointment of an elector of the proper
county who shall have voted for the com
missioner or auditor whose place is te be
filled." The court 1 herefere will have te
appoint Mr. Heed's successor for the
balance of his term, and he will have te
be one who voted for him however the
court is te find that out.
Postmaster Gexeual James and
Attorney General MacVeagh finally get
in their testimony yesterday in the case
of lterdell, of the Star Keute gang, ex
secretary of Dersey, and associate in his
crime. They told neUiing new; their rev
elations consisting entirely of Rerdcll's
confessions te them of the way in which
the thieves operated, hew they bribed
Brady, what enormous profits they coin
ed and hew they tried te keep lterdell
from " talking tee much." What the
ex-cabinet officers did net make clear
was hew lterdell get away from them
and back te the side of the thieves, when
manifestly his direct testimony would
have been se effective te convict his old
employers.
The editor of the New JEra, who was
the virtual author of the " new rules."
for his party in this county, and was
" fur" them until they premised te pinch
his faction, new coolly charges that " a
politician who learns the practical part
of his trade in the Cameren school of
machine politics cannot be candid and
honest when he thinks it is te his polit
ical interest te be otherwise. This is
apparent from the course of the bosses in
regard te the new rules." And although
nobody chuckled se much as the Era
when Ettla was brought out te divide
the Stehman vote, the Era pretends
that Stehman's coachers brought Ettla
out ; and expresses its joy that there
will be no " delegate thimble-riggins "'
in the approaching contest as there
would have been had tiie Era's original
plan prevailed. If cheek were trump in
the present local political game the Re
former would win every trick, sure.
m m
Tin: news of Ettla's withdrawal was
a little slew in reaching the New Era
office. But it made about as geed time
as the intelligence of Beyers withdrawal
en its way te the Examiner.
Stehmax, Longenecker and Fry are,
each, expecting Sensenig te support
them ; and each expects him te cheat
one or both of the ether two. Sensenig
is a versatile genius.

Airmen will exert his geed offices with
Russia in behalf or the persecuted Jews.
Tin: following dispatch te the Examiner
is invalid no consideration being named :
I hereby withdraw my name as a can
didate for state senator.
Gee. 11. Ettla.
Tin: Examiner is troubled ever the in
creasing demoralization of the Arkansas
Democracy. Considering the state of its
own household, this is very neighborly en
the part of the Examiner.
The Press complains that " Democrats
in the Senate are nobly standing by the
machine nominations." And where would
Garfield have been had the Democrats in
the Senate net steed nobly by his machine
nomination of Collector Robertsen ?
It is very easy te catch the little tieuts
at least much easier than te hook the
elder and mere experienced fellows. But
bear in mind that it is contrary te the
l.vw te retain anything in this line under
five inch s in length, measured by Ruck
Leibly's standard.
Tin: New Yerk Tribune is reported te
have made $150,000 last year, much of it
out of its building ; the Graphic pays and
the Eeenimj Pest under its new manage
ment is paying twelve per cent en about
a 1,000,000 valuation. Its circulation,
however, is only about 20,000.
Tut: editor of the Examiner wants te
knew if he has Thugs in his " midst."
We wouldn't be at all surprised. His
contortions plainly indicate- that theie is
something in his "midst." Should Kauff
man and Lundis both be reneminated the
purgative will be se diastic as te leave
no doubt legauiing the matter about
which he se pitceusly inquires.
Ma.iek P. R. Fnn.s would like te seethe

dahlia'.1 The ;usthctes might give it, a
chance.
Makkiett Br.e&ii's, esq., wasn't nearly
such a whttc-seuleu gentleman as new, in
the estimation of thu Examiner, when its
gaug were " laying him out" for notary
public appointment or beating him with
Charlev Schwebel for school dir.c'.er. It
is nearly as hard te keep track of the Ex
aminer's opinion of Brosius as te fellow
the relations of the New Era with " Mr."
Sensenig and " Bess" McMdlen.

The World thinks it cuneus that net
eue reader out of a thousand notes the
blunder in "The Wreck of the Hesperus"
concerning the old sailor who " had sailed

been said that the old sailor had sailed
Leng Island or the peninsula of Flerida,
since the "Spanish main " was net water
but laud. Acceidiug te some, the deriva
tien is from the Spauish manca-shacklcs
aud the term includes the circular bank
of islands bounding the Caribbean sea ou
the north and cast, while ethers apply the

What legislation can the states best adept

provide for the planting of forests en its

of forest waste ? What is the comparative
value of various timber trees ? Hew shall
we secure windbreaks en the prairies? By
what chemical process cau we preserve our
timber used in building and fencing? And
what forest trees are best adapted te

gramme, but our forests are a big thing.
When Gee. W. Childs gave away Dick
en's overcoat te P. T. Barnum the ether
day he "gave away " himself somewhat,
tee. Fer he has suggested te some wicked
newspaper man the reproduction of the
way in which he get thatceafc, " as Dickens
tells it in the second series of the 'Ameri
can notes.' " It may be easier te find this
passage in the New Yerk Sun than in any
current edition of "American Notes " but
this is. hew (the Sun sayB)vDickens tells it :
As a relief from the contemplation of
the distractingly regular streets of the
town, and the stiffening Quakery that
pervades the demeanor or its sleek inhabi
tants, I will close this chapter with the
recital of a curious encounter which I had
with a very curious little gentleman.
He approached me first at an evening
party at Mr. B 's, just wheu I was en
uaged with a mighty bowl of het stewed
oysters, the refreshment most frequently
offered te the honored guest of the hospit
able Philadelphian. lie was short and fat
and rosy, and appeared te be perfectly
bald. He steed regarding me with a
beaming smile.
I don't knew what there was about the
Ait little irebtlcinau that reminded me of
mulled cider, but something there was. I
eeuld net belp smihug myself. lliis en
couraged him te extend his hand which I
grasped with the cordiality befitting the
occasion.
"Mr. Dickens," says he, "I am Mr.
Giles." (Giles I think he said.) This with
his right arm extended and his rotundity
thrown out as far as it will come.
"Mr. Giles," says I "I am happy te
sce you."
" Mr. Dickens," says he, "1 shall be
proud te have you te my heuse te dinner,
Mr. Dickens."
" Mr. Giles " says 1, producing a pro
digious oyster from the depths of my
bowl, " you honor me, Mr. Giles. Un Un
feitunatcly lam engaged all way up te
Thursday, wheu I leave for Washington."
He told me that he was a printer ; that
he had read all my books, and that he was
interested in a number of benevolent and
philanthropic movements which he offered
te explain.
I did net hear of Mr. Giles again until
the morning of our departure. He canto
te my hotel and sent in his card. I des
patched Harvey te learn what was wanted.
The object of the visit, it appeared, was
te procure, n possible, " any old articles ei
east, off clothing." I told Harvey te give
him what he cared te take. I fancy the
requisition was made with a view te some
of his schemes of benevolence and philan
thropy ; but what an odd little man, aud
what an odd way of levying contributions.

edralEeoquent Address by ISislicp
Sliannahuu Tlie Magnificent
Ollt at Overbroek.
In Philadelphia yesterday the 25th an
niversary of the consecration of Archbishop
Weed was celebrated at the cathedral, a
very large number of people bciug present.
Iu the sanctuary were the Archbishop,
Bishop O'Uara, of Scranteu ; Bishop Mul
len, of Erie ; Bishop Tuigg, of Allegheny ;
Bishop Shauahan, of Harrisburg, aud
Bishop Craue, of Australia, tegether with
many clergymen. Solemn Pentificial
mass was celebrated by Bishop O'Uara,
and Bishop Shanahan delivered the ser
men. Aicnuishep Weed made a lew ic
marks before imparting the papal bene
diction. Mauy tiibutes of affection were
left at thcarchiepiscepil lcsideucc during
the day. In the afternoon the venerable
prelate was given a reception iu the theo
logical seminary at Overbroek by the
priests of the archdiocese, who presented
him with a purse of $20,000. The parade
of the Catholic societies at night iu his
honor was postponed until Saturday night
en account of the weather. Following is
the address of Bishop Shanahan in the
cathedral :
"Your Grace, my lords, fatheis and
brethern : This is net a common occasion.
Seldom arc the faithful called te celebrate
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the con
secratien of their prelate. -Ne wonder then
that such au event is marked with mere
than common lojeicing. We assemble

bration of the tcrmiual period of a full
quarter of a century of his arduous labeis
in the episcopate, and the opening, we
trust, et a period of many a year el use
fulness te come. Wc should honor him
as far as it lies iu our power te de him
honor, and we feel that iu honoring him
we also de honor te ourselves. May we
net then hope te spare his feelings, in
some measure by thus making this our
festivity as well as his? We gladly
avail ourselves then of this day, the
auuiversary day that usage loves te com
memorate, te give expression te our varied
sentiments, te give utterance te our faith
fulness te Ged for all His goodness aud
the blessings Be has showered ou this
diocese for the last quaitcr of a century,
aud our appreciation of the labors of him
who during that time has governed it
with such wisdom. De you wonder,
brethren, if I shrink from the task that
unmerited kindness has new fercad upeu
me? I could readily, cheerfully, express
my own feelings te give worthy utter utter
auce te yours as well, hew can I venture
te attempt it ? Parden me, your Grace,
if I seem te take advautagc of my place
here te-day iu saying something which I
knew your delicacy of feeling would
make you wish that I would leave nu
uttcred. Your clergy, your people, would
net forgive me if I spoke as you would
wish mc te speak. They will censure me,
I fear, in net saying far mere than I shall
say. As this is our festival, tee, iu a
measure, let us prcsume en your forbear
ance. My words, I knew, must be but
feeble indications of the sentiments of at
tachment, respect and reverence in which
you arc held by the multitudes who leek
up te you as prelate aud father.
" There is something striking, as well as
teuchiug, iu the depths of affection of a
people toward their clergy, and the clergy
of a people toward their bishop. Iu hew
many ways de we net sce this manifested.
The person who holds office, heweveV
worthily he may feel it, is se conscious of
his shortcomings before Ged, that he is
most reluctant te accept the tributes of
respect aud icvercnce that a faithful aud
devoted people aie eager -te pay him.
Your Grace, I knew well hew highly
you appreciate all that theso who love
you would tle for you te-day, and'
yet hew repuguaut te your feelings is se
much that must be said aud doae i:i this
manifestation of this love of your people
toward you. I knew hew ready you will
be te disclaim se much that you are enti
tled te receive. Yeu came te this diocese
scut by the successor of St. Peter, in ful
filment of Christ's mission te his apostles :
'As the Father has sent mc I also scud you. j
Beheld I am with you all days.' Your
coming has been a blessing. It is truth !
made visible that your appointment te this
field of duty was truly the work of the !
holy spirit. We knew well your devoted- j
uess te your episcepal laoers sjucc you
entered this bread field. We remember
your consummate energy and .cal in se
mauy years during the period of the olliee
te which the Hely Sec has ceusigned you
in this diocese, relieving your predecessor
of happy memory of a portion of the
burdens of his episcepal charge,
and when Ged called him te his reward
and the diead responsibility of this vast
diocese, as then situated, devolved upon
you, we all knew with what vigor you en
tered upon the work before you. Yeu
enthused your own active spirit through
out the area of your jurisdiction. It is no
disparagement te these who went before
you it is eulogy, rather te say that what
they had the iercshdib te found you had
the energy te build up. The community
iu your predecessor's day was net fully
ripe for, aud were quick tetakc advantage
of every new situation. With the forecast
of heaven-directed genius you laid bread
and deep the foundations of mauy a noble
work of leligien, and carried them te
happy accomplishment. The spiiilual ad
vice of your great diocese was the constant
object of your thought.
"Early in your coming amongst us you
saw hew Ged's glory and the salvation of
souls would be protected by the erection
of this magnificent cathedral aud you bent
every energy te the accomplishment of the
geed work. Yeu knew hew you labored ;
all men sec hew you have succeeded.
Your ringing words reused generous en
thusiasm among a faithful people. They
nobly responded te your appeals, and the
dedication of your cathedral was a mem
erable triumph. The results as witnessed
in the many grand ceremonials of the
church here displayed and in the cm
planting of religion in the hearts of multi
tudes, attest the wisdom of your prede
cessor in commencing the noble werlc, and
attest your wisdom and zeal in bringing it
te rapid completion. Wc knew that it
even yet fall short of your ideal of what
a great cathedral should be.
" I congratulate you in t'ie name of the
vast body of your faithful, both here aud
throughout your diocese, all revering you
for your long years of zealous labors in
their service. I cougratulate you in the
name of the clergy and faithful of your
whole service, who have the highest rev
erence for your person and your office I
cougratulate you, may I net say se, iu
the name of the community at huge, who,
without distinction, regard you with
marked esteem for your prudence and
moderation, your affability, your genial
manner, se uniformly courteous, cordial and
dignified. And new let me take advantage
of the opportunity I chance te have
te offer you my own personal congratula
tions, than which nothing can be mere
earnest or mere heartfelt. I speak as once
a student of your seminary : I speak as one
of your former priests ; I speak as a bishop
consecrated by your hands, who, from the
day of my ordination te this hour, ever
found in your house my home ; as one who
has had iu many ways such relations with
you as te call forth the siucerest confi
dence, respect and attachment. Then ac
cept my warmest greetings en this glad
some day, father and friend, and may Ged
grant you long and happy days te come."

appeared in the Imjuirer, relating Wiley's
attempt te bulldoze Commissioner Summy
into net voting for Frank Grfcstfer clerk ;
and hiscinpleytiie.'tt of his miner seu as a

iii ide a r. iiei t which justified Wiley's re
moval. The "family matters" wcroenly
accidentally discovered by Somerville.
As the I.vrni.MOKNCEn has seen ami read
most of the case for and against Wiley, and
as it happens te knew that Den Cameren
assured Kauffman of his appointment long
befere Griest wrote his editorial and sent
it te Felgcr, it has no occasion te revise its
opinion that Wiley was bounced te make
room for Kauffman only this and nothing
