Curtailing Aldermen's Fees.
A decision just miula by the commis
sioners or Daupbiu county threatens to
curtail somewhat the fat fees hereto
lore extortoii from a suffering publio
by not over acrnpuloua aldermen, bat
promises to give aignal enoonragement
ti ths rnformatioD of our petty court
evstem. It bad for yaara been the prac
tice in Dauphin county to collect fees
for priso;irs who had usen bouud over
to quarter stsslons court and then dis
charged. The b itbit of throwing such
eaten into court, ueedless to say, took
rapid root under such fiusncU! eu
oouragetnint; and court costs mounted
up frith a rapidity out of all proportion
to the increased amount of real justice
dispensed.
The commissioners of Dauphin
comity last Saturday decided to insti
tute a rttform Unexpectedly soma of
these numerous bills wer submitted to
close scrutiny and found to be wholly
without warrant in equity, A rule
was nude that hereafter fees of this
kind can only bn cnlleoted four times a
year, on the Wednesday following the
regular session of quartsr sessions

If there is on iroblaiu at pretaot be
fere the tax-payers of Pennsylvania,
aud particularly the tax payers of those
portions of I'ertipylvanta iu which
mixed racial elements abound, it is the

At TUB Amsrieus elnb dinner iu
Pittsbnrr, last Friday, Kepreientativj
Jack Robinson was seated next to Wal
ter Lyon. When called npon to speak
and iu answer to some playful allu
sions ty the toastnuster, he responded
by clasping Mr. Lyon'l baud, remari
ioj as be did so: "This is a free coun
try and everybody haa a right to rnu
for office, t ut 1 wish to nstir that
staunch Keunblican and worthy g n
tlauion, my opponent, that, if the con
vention decides against r.ie, I am will
ing to go to every cress-roads in the
state to help his canvais, and my f ace
will show not a ripple of dissatisfac
tion with this decree of the par'y. "
This is the kind of tslk that baa the
I roc ring to it. An honest tighter fotre
no foe and chriihts un malice when
fairly whipped. It is to be regrett d
that all participants in this prelimin
ary discussion of candidates are Dot
dispossd to emulate Jack llobinton's
manly spirit.
Needed Consular Reform.
Chairman Morgan of the senate com
mittee on foreign relatione and Bellamy
r'lorcr, a member of the houte commit
tee on forsign affairs hov, with the
approval of their respective colleagues,
co-operated in tha formatiou of n bill
which is expected, If parsed, to exer
cise a br-ntficnl InfloODM upon the
quaiity of our diplomatic representa
tion abroad. Tba till provides for the
erection of a non-partisan commission
comprising, iu Addition to the secretary
of state, two senators and two repre
sentatives, paired politically, caid com
mission to have anthority to place the
entiro diplomatic nnd cttimhr servir
of the United States, below the grade
of ministers resident, upon a non-par-tiran,
merit basis, with experience and
fitness, as evidenced by suitable exam
inations, made the only requirements
to appointment
It it not expected that the bill will
receivo immediate approval. Two
great obstacles intervene. One Ii the
fondness of partisan workers for berths
in the oonsnlar service; and the other
is the lack of a law placing all these
consuls nnd consular agents upon u
graded salary basis with nbtolutely no
side perquisite! in the form of clerioal
or notarial fees. At it is today, many
an office worth only a few hundred
dollars in salary la good, under expert
manipulation, for an annnal revenue
of thousands. The consul-generalship
at London was at one time worth, alto
gether, more than tha pretidency of
the United States, while those at Paris
and Liverpool are not much poorer, in
point of revenue. Bo long at these in
ducements beckon, it will be difficult
to get the consent of the practloal poli
ticians in congress to a bill which
would rnla them and their friends off
these inviting foielgn pastures except
npon demonstration which few could
give of real fitness for the work and
responsibilities involvsd. The first
stop, therefore, ie to abolish the fee
system in toto, substituting therefor
moderate graded salaries.
This done, it will not take long for
publio sentiment to compel the adop
tion of the balance. The idea Is rapidly
gaining converts that if It is worth
while to have a consular service at all,
It is worth while having a good one,
and net ont whiob. it the mock and by
play of the trained diplomats of Eu
rope. The duties of an American con
sul or consular agent are today onerous
and important. In a high sense be is
an international trade agent, lie is
on of Uncle Sam's "drunimrtrs," If
he bo bright, full of tact and thor
oughly up to date he cau swing a vol
ume of business nnd prestige worth
many times ins taltry. If hs be a de
crepit party haek or an indolent party
pensioner, ho can do an equal quantity
of serious-nnd irreparable harm. The
profession of diplomacy, as a profes
sion, requires talents of the highest or
der. These cannot be expected to de
velop themselves between qnadrennial
politicsl fluctuations at home. Whsn
a man gives proof of fitness lie should
be retained; when the reverse, dis
charged. Politics should play no part
in the decision.
TuEC.UJSEof constitutional govern
ment generally ie thu gainer from the
fact that Joseph II. C'boate has con
sented to preside over the deliberations
of the New York stata constitutional
convention, whiob convenes next Tues
day in Albany. The work of this body
will have lasting significance tbrougb
ont the country, and ths ioflueuce
wielded by Us chairman, in the appoint
ment of committees, as well as in his
individual conference, will do much to
determine the convention's success or
failure.
Coxcy to the Rescue.
The approaou of vx--y to the capital

James Mscher Coxey, in addition to re
ceiviug the down trodden millions
from the relentless clntch cf a besotted

graudly to the rtlhf of the dstpalring

the ticket likely to be nomiuated at this

OM REED
at Pittsburg.
The speech of Thomas I!. Used at the
Americns club dinner at i'ittsburg last
week was very inadequately reported
by the press news associations. A pe
rusal of its etitiro text convinces us
that it is deserving of morn genarsl
pnbllr-i.y than it has yet received, Fol
lowing are some notable axoerpts:
America is too great, hnr resources all
too mighty, for even the worst legislation
and most incompetent rulers to destroy.
What the country needs is not repress
ive, but developing statesmanship, con
servative, preserving tho rights of all, but
progressive, making all that is possible out
of our great possibilities.
What Impoverishes the mill owner Im
poverishes the mill worker. You cannot
divide nothing. The apple mutt be grown
even for the small boy to get the core, and
nobody ever bad a cut of Ush until be waa
caught.
Under the fierce light of our present con
ditions we sen things more clearly, and
begin to realize that the simple pro
gramme of thn Democracy to reduce prices
and wages together has come into collision
with tho eternal verities of the world, aud
must go to piece.
1 have said that there might be some
consolation to be had even In our dis
tresses. One consolation which 1 Uud is
that the men who sell their service-',
whether of bruin or muselo, will learn that
they are the uunrdians of iheir own fn
tore, aud tha- before ihev begin the striiK
ele for a divi ion of the profits, th-'y mu-t
Drat see thai there are some profits to di
vide. tee
Mr. Reed's only reference to the sil
ver question is a gonural one, t'Ut in
teresting as evidencing his concurrence
with ex-Presideut Harrison as to the
inevitable future of toil vexing coin
uge problem. This is what he Mid:
What courso the Republican party will
pursue to obtain international bimetallism,
which we must have, I cunuot vsnture to
predict, but I am confident that thu wis
dom which has guided that party safely
nnd securely through oveu greater finan
cial questloua than that will, when wo
have the power and responsibility, be fonnd
to be still with us for the great' glory and
advancement of this country.
One can imagino tho hearty cheering
which greeted this manly expression
by the distinguished speaker.
When 1 I. ..k on all thut Is transpiring
today aud witnete the wild uurstt uf the
people, the crowde moving to and (ro
Lnrdly knowiut; what thuy wunt the n
solves, but mittintr, they kaow not bow,
tho prosperity to which they have been
acOOStomed all their Urea: whsn I look on
this nnd the, misery we have face 1, and Ale
yet to face, and thinking Hellishly, 1 feel u
seute of satisfaction that those who hiive
made all this irmiblo haveg.it to fnco it.
Hut when I think of it iu a hr-iider spirit
mid remember that most of thosu who suf
fer are Innocent or sorry, I rejo'.c-j that the
dettinietof (his country are so soon to be
handed ovr to that stannch old party
which, while it hssoflon fallen short of the
highest excellence, has always hsd that
