THe I-asker Resolutions,
The correspondence In tlie Lnakcr
natter Is nt IcriKth published. Tlie res res res
olutlens of the IIouse wcre transmitted
Irjr Secretary PrellnghtiyRen te Minister
Sargent, under date of January 1 1, and
,were sent by the ruinlatcr en February 1,
te Count Hatzfeltlt, the German socro secro socre
Ury of state. They next turn up in tlie
bands of the German minister at 'Wash,
logten, who en March 7th, delivered te
Secretary Frellnghuysen n dispatch he
had received from Count Bismarck
accompanying tlie returned reso
lutions, which, he siys, he lias
net asked tlie oruperer'a permission
te eend te tlie Reichstag, te which
they were directed, because he did
net individually nRree with tlie expres
sion in the resolutions of approval of
Herr Lasker'a opinions. Secretary Fre
if llnghuysen tells Minister Elsendecker.ln
the involved phrase nffeetcd by diplo
mats, that the president does net euro a
continental what he does with the reso
lutions, since they were net delivered
as directed, aud Minister Eisendecker
replies that " your answer expresses no
wish and consequently relieves my gov
ernment from the obligation it has felt
te retum the resolution which was
entrusted te it for transmission."
Then en Marcli 10 Secretary Freltng.
huysen relieved his mind nnd wastied his
hands of the business by sending the
correspendeno t te Congress nnd writing
a dispatch te MlnistcrSergeaut, in which
be Bays that "it docs net occur te me
hew the transmission of the resolutions
would have involved an endorsement
of the political views of Mr. Lasker by
the German chancellor," aud intimates
that he don't knew what he had te de
with them nnyhew, but that it don't
make much difference that the Reich
stag was deprived of tlie official commu
nication, os it long since get it unotll unetll
clally. The non-official communication
ha concedes, " whlle n matter of regret,
Is net one of concern te either branch of
1b inconsequential in tlie amount lest
te tlie public, but very significant of
tlie reennncss nnd partisanship which
characterize tlie ndmlulstrntien of local
affairs, and which Inevitably lead te
corruption nnd public robbery.
Mil, Moiiuisen is reported te be dis
appointed that he has net had public
manifestations from New Yerk of ap
proval of his bill and his policy, just as
lie was disappointed In net receiving tlie
support of tlie Iren manufacturers In his
preposition te give them free ores ; and
new It is reported as "net unlikely that
lumber will be dropped from the frce
list te please seme of the Michigan and
California Democrats." 13y this time It
Is plain that Mr. Morrison's bill nnd
policy nre neither free trade nor tariff
for revenue only, nnd that te evolve a
general tariff policy from a detailed
schedule- of duties is im almost hopeless
undertaking, as It Is Improper te call a
protective tariff scaled down horizontal
ly a tnrlff for revenue only. Mr. Mer
rlsen's razeed bill does net seem te
satisfy anybody, being neither fish, flesh
nor fowl.
The e ally closing movement in this
city, which seemed te be se auspi
ciously inaugurated, new appears te
have almost ceme te an early close itself.
This is te be regretted Inasmuch in these
who engaged in It generally admit that it
occasioned no less te them te offset the
obvious advantages of limiting the hours
of business. There are few cities the
size of Lancaster in which business is
extended ever thirteen or fourteen hours
of the day, and a larger spirit of cooper
ation nnd broader liberality of sentiment
would certainly suffice here te institute
new and Improved motlieds. As a rule
men will de mere and better work in ten
hours than in fourteen.

it has learned that the resolution sent by

The victim wa- feuud apparently kleked

Allen, and upeu that he wm convicted.
It has been shwn that her testimony was
unreliable, that the hammer produced in

A Mean Business.
Uynrieus acts of the Legislature, It
has been made the law that for the cel
lectien of taxes In certain townships In
Lancaster county, bids shall be Invited
and the collection of the same shall be
awarded te the lowest bidder, his com
pensation for this Bervlce te be the
nmeunt of the bid ; and the difference
uetwecn that sum and the usual feo.ef
Ave per cent, upon the nmeunt
collected Bhall be paid Inte the
treasury of the school fund of said
district. Among the townships covered
by this act are Warwick and Leacock.
The acts are of different da'es, but all
agree that the commissieneis "shall"
appoint the lowest bidder collector of
the taxes. This is qualified by a supple
mentary act of 16C0, which empowers
the commissioners te se censtruu the act
as te appoint, in their opinion, the best
bidder.
It happens this year as It hiu happen
ed berore that- in Warwick and Lev
cock, each, a Democrat was tne lowest
bidder. As seen as this was discovered
a petition wa3 circulated and obtained
the signatures of the Republican school
directors of these districts, asking the
commissioners te nppelnta higher bid
der, who happened te be a Itepubllcau ,
and taking refuge behind this, Cemmia
flloners Myers and Sumray have already
appointed Jacob Stark, la Leacock,
although bis bid was nine or ten dollars
higher than that of W. W. Russer, a
thoroughly competent man, but a Dera Dera Dera
oerat ; and In Warwick, where the cir
cumstances are similar, they Incline te
the appointment of the higher bidder, a
Republican, who himself is a member of
the school beard nnd Joins in the petition
tnat he be appointed, te the less of the
Bchoel fund.
The commissioners defend their action
en the greuud that the county must pay
the same te ene bidder as the ether, the
difference benefiting only the local
school beards, and as they petition for
the appointment of the higher bidder
the commissioners nre Justified In be
awnrding the collection ; they also claim
that the nppolntees are experienced cel.
lectors. It will readily occur te the
average mind that this is a llimsy pre.
text for an act of partisan meanness ;
but their conduct is only less reprehen reprehen
alble than that of the township Bchoel
beards, who after bids nte received for
the benefit of their school fund reject the
lower and mere preUtable,Blmply te keep
the collection In the hands of partisan
political allies.
By these nets of the Legislature the
collection of taxes In many districts of
this county, like the building of bridges
aud ether public work, was te be let en
business principles, and the evasion and
subversion of the law by the Republican
commissioners and various school beards,
behind whose misconduct the cemmis.
blencra take cowardly refuge, is a pitiful
exhibition of partisan meanness, which
revenue," it mu3t expect te be under
steed as indulging iu sarcasm. The only
Republican scheme thus far proposed te
get rid of the surplus revenue was te
" dlvide " It, aud that is se characteristic
of the grand old party that none will
fall te duly credit it with an exclusive
proprietary interest in it.

Bofero the Spriugcf committee Mr. A.
M. Gibsen continued his testimony en
Monday, and related the proceediugs at the
outset of the Star Reute trills. He said
It was reselved te proceed by information
b'cause the statute of limitations had
nearly run out, and the Pres'cjtt and
Santa Fe reute was tlrst taken up because
it was simple, and one that the govern
ment ought te have a verdict in. Why it
failnd he could net say. Mr. Gibsen had
heard they wanted him out of the cese,
but he did knew why, unless It was bo be bo
eause he was u Dera jcrat, and they de
si red te have a lawyer of great prominence
in his place a mau hke Mr. Merrick
Brewster and Bhs3 desired te control
a flat is and te step witness' letters,
te Mr. SlaeVeagh. Witness said bis
only difference with Bliss was that he
thought it best te try a simple single reute
cases first and get a verdict aud then try
that against Dereey and Brady, involving
121 routes. Mr. Gibsen thought pay had
a geed deal te de with the matter, and
explained hew Mr. Bliss bad received 4200
a day, and then alluded te the fact that he
was the intimate friend of the successor
of the prosideut, who had at a banquet
alluded in flattering terms te Mr. Dersey's
use of " soap " In the campaign. He de
clared that the charges of Bliss, Brewster
and Ker wero unheard of in exorbitance.
