LANCASTER, DECEMBEIt 31, 1884.
Popular OeTCrnmcnt In England.
Nothing could better illustrate the rapid
advance of liberal Ideas and of popular
government in England, than the increas
ing frequency with which the system of
representation and franchise in that coun
try is reconstructed. It took many centu
ries of preparation by civil strife and war
ring houses for the fullness of time in that
great revolution, in which royalty was
shorn of its sovereignty and the real iww er
transferred te Parliament. And only nf ter
the lapse of a century and a half subse
quent te that was thelteferm Bill of 1632
passed, remodeling the constituencies,
sweeping away the retten boroughs, enlarg
ing tlw franchise and practically conferring
the real governmental power of England
upon the Heuse of Commens. The next
peaceful revolution of tlmt sort was In 1807;
and new, only seventeen years elae until
the Parliamentary leaders nre driven by
the urgent ferce of public opinion te put
their heads together, redistribute the seats
of Parliament and enlarge the franchise.
Te a nation with a less flexible system
than England's the rapidity with which its
governmental changesare coming tebe made
would be ominous of a powerful reaction
impending or of a speedy danger of
anarchy. Ne signs of these lower ever the
political horizon there. On the contrary
Liberal and Conservative leaders have
agreed upon a measure of a very sw coping
and radical character, the adoption of
which with ease is foreshadowed in their
ngrccment. By its previsions 100 seats
new held by boroughs are taken away
from them and placed elsewhere a
reallettment of 17 mere seats than were
comprehended under the gieat reform
measure of 1832. "While Londen and its
boroughs heretofore have had but twenty
, two members and no ether city mero than
three, Londen is hereafter te hae fifty
five, Liverpool nine, Birmingham and
Glasgow seven each and ether large cities
a proportionate number. Again, whereas
the total representation of a city heretofore
has been elected from a single district,
although since 1SG7 minority representa
tion has been provided for, hereafter cities
are te be di ided into as many districts as
there are members, se that each one will
l the sole representative of a district con
stituency. Tills radical rearrangement of consti censti
tuences, the adoption of the single district
system and the gradual enlargement of
the franchise, until the voting population
of England, is nearly as large a percentnge
as in seme of the commonwealths of this
country, show a steady progress toward the
highest idea of a free government. In
deed they have made but a superficial
examination of the English system, who
deny that it compares very favorably with
any government claiming te be "of the
people, by the people and for the people."
A ("Ilmpse or tbe Millennium.
Tiie Republican newspapers seem te tw
pleased with Gov. Cleveland's views 01 j
civil service appointments. They are nil
warmly in favor of civil service reform. It
is quite a natural feeling. Perhaps our
Itepublicau friends are net able te leek at
the matter In a wholly uupiejudiced way;
but any Impulse of theirs which brings
them te an approving state of mind tew.ird
a Democratic administration we are dis
posed te reward with praise. It may be
that in the course of the next few jears
they may become se much In leve with the
Democratic policy a3 te Jein the party, and
the political millennium will have ceme
in when the lien and the lamb lie
down together. If the Republican beasts
are all peimitted te remain undisturlied
in their warm stalls, we have no doubt
that they will be all lambs during the
Democratic presidency. But as it is only
the really geed office holders whom the
coming president is dispes?d te retain, we
greatly fear that there will be but a small
portion of them who will net come out
into the cold. In which event we de net
anticipate a very great warmth of support
from the Republican party in general te
the new adminibtratieu.
If our friends in the opposition, who
held nice offices, had only Ik'cii duly and
thoroughly permeated with the truesphit
of civil service reform, during
their incumbency of them, se that
they would have sternly abstained from
partisanship and devoted all their energies
te discharging tlielr duties and earning
tlielr salaries, they would have been in a
fit condition te lejeice at their 'geed works
aim te expect the award due te the faith
ful servant. Unfortunately few of them,
if any, have been se wise in tlielr
day, and the premise of the president-elect
holds out little comfort te the main army of
the officeholders. Ne doubt they will be
very well behaved new, but their oppoitu eppoitu oppeitu
uities are gene for testifying te their faith
in civil service reform maxims under the
temptations and pressure of jwrty de
mands. There is likely te be plenty of
work for the axe under the new adminis
tration ; though it may be slew, under the
raised standard for getting in.
A Hasty Conclusion.
The JSrm(ncr jumps te the conclusion
tlmt because the president-elect shows u
disposition te carry out the civil service
Taw In letter and spirit, apjwintments
made for a term of years, as that of Pest-nx-ster
Munhall,te Illustrate the rule, will
net be removed, but when his term expires
t will be In order te make a new appoint
meet, and lie will, of course, be a Deino Deine
ertt." Oureeteeuiedand hopeful contemporary
uses a far fetched illustration Hint doesilet
illustrate. Neither the case of Postmaster
Marshall nor that of his appointees comes
under the operation of the civil service law.
It dee3 net apply te postmasters nor te let
ter carriers at offices where less than fifty
arc employed.
But there is a paragraph of Gov. Cleve
land's letter that refers te such as they.
This is it:
Many (new lielrlliiK Mich positions have
forfeited Bll Jttit claim te retention, bccauc
they have, used their place for party pur pur
peses In disrc-rnril of their duty te the ico ice
pic, nnd tjcenuxe, Instead of being decent
pulillc servants they liave prev ed thcmel cs
oirenslve partlsani ami unscrupulous manip
ulators of local party management. The les les
eon of the past should le unlearned, and
such efllcials, as veil as tlielr successor
should be taught tliut'efllclcncy, lltness and
dovotien te public ilutj are the conditions et
their continuance in public place, and that
thennietand unobtrtl-ilve cxercisoef lnili-
ual political rights is the reasonable, moasure
of their party service
If Postmaster Marshall and eery ether
federal official in these iarts had tiet "uhhI
their places for jwity puneses," or had
been content with tlic " (juiet and uiiob uiieb
trusie exercise of individual political
rights," they might take seme consolation
from thencw president's proclaimed iwlicy ;
but having been actie, bitter, nebj "urti
sans, they must go eicry man of them.

It Is easy te bellow 0 in the genuineness of
the reperted discovery in a Maryland house
hold of four carefully beted manuscript ol el ol
umesef correspondence between Wm. Vans
Murray, American minister resident and
envoy extraordinary te the Netherlands and
General Washington and Alexander Hamil
ton, thopurpeso of the correspondence en the
part of Washington and Hamilton having
been te secretly obstruct and precnt Lafay
ette's projiescd romeal from l'rauce te
America, te becouie a citizen heie. At that
tiuie they represented and espoused the ex ex
treme Federalist side of the political ques
tions disturbing America, while the Jeffer Jeffer
senians drew inspiration from the French
ideas which Lafayctte personified. The in in
fiuence of his removal te and residence In
America would have been te strengthen the
antl-FedcrallsLs ; and It is net hard te cencch 0
of Hamilton and even Washington doing all
In their pewer te thwart It. The correspond
ence reported te be found will be Interesting
and important. It need net go begging
ler a government purchaser at ?5,000 as
alleged. Tliere are newspapers in the
country which would doubtless gie tliat for
the first whack at the publication of it, and
curiosity hunters who would buy the manu
scripts after they had been copied, .it a geed

est opppsitien te the Nicaragua!! treaty
comes from members of the Appropriations
and tlie Pereign Affairs committees, before
vvhl h Secretary I'relmghujsen last season
iiimle his arguments in behalf of the S2J0,00O
appropriation then asked for as necessary te
negetiate the treaty. Oni- of these members
has marie this extraordinary statement : "In
tlie presineoef Mr. Itaiidall I mention him
as ene of the prominent men present
Secretary rrelingnuyseu shitted in ianguage
plain though diplomatic that (0,001 was
wanted te corrupt tlie N'earaguaii govern
ment." This member went en te say that Mr.
Prelinghuyseii was asked what Uencral
Ur.int, Mr. Menec.d, and the ether parties te
w hum the original iom.es.sien had been made
would demand. The secretary replied that
they would want ene hundred thousand
dollars each, nndas thereweretwelvoef thorn
that would amount te f l.'jHi.Wsi. Ilcing asked
it he would advise the iuymeiit of that
amount, he replied that he would agree te
treat them very liberally in order te gel them
out of the way.
Speaking of the treat v, this member of the
Heuse, who questioned Secretary l'reling
hiivsen, says he believes that the concession
liefjcrs comprising tlrsuit, Monecut, Pheljis
and ethers, nre tlie lurtics who prompted
tlie insertion iu the treaty of the prev isien
reqiiiriugnn Interest iu the canal te be given
te Nicaragua, and he lieliuvcs that a large
pmpoitleu of this Interest would go into tlie
pockets of tliese men.
