One among the many objections urged to
the plan of civil service reform is that its prac-
teal effect will be to fill nearly all vacancies
in the Departments with persons living in
Washington, who will always be on the
ground to compete for the places, and who
can present themselves again and again until
successful. Few men will undergo the ex.
pense of journey to Washington from dis.
tant States to compete for 1920 clerkships
in the examinations, knowing that they will
probably have two or three scores Of COMPETE
tors who live there, and who have had the
lar with the method Of examination which
successful candidates have previously gone
through.

The past year has been! one of encour

not show any remarkable increase ofpros.
perity. we have the evidence on all sides
that the dawn of better things has APP
peared. If we have not attracted swarms OF
immigrants we have succeededin breaking
down to considerable extent the preju-
dice which existed against the State. so
that our own sons and daughters are will

citizens Of other States seek it to invest
their capital, and those who do not larry,
but have seen its capabilities, speak of it
as 1.-THE enchanted land" This is gain
1t leads to progress. 1t is not the har-
vest, but the preparation of the field for
the seed, from which shall spring in due
time that which will enrich the State and
fill it with thriving people.
On account of the unfavorable season
the returns for the labor of the farming
community were below that of average
years. The early drouth and the grass
hoppers reduced the crops. A reduction
of profits has followed, but no distress
Confidence in good farming has not sunk

at discount. The former may suffer on
account of poor season, the latter must

new ones have been established. There
is no means of telling with any exactness
what has been done in the way of starting
new enterprises, but there is no doubt,
from such information as has been re-
ceiyed, agreat deal has been accomplished.
1t has been made known quite clearly by
the action Of towns and individuals that
men of means and skill will be generously

likely to produce war within ten years than
any other question. Nobody knows, con.
tinued the General, what this Treaty is. 1t
has not been published anywhere that know
of, except that the newspaper correspondents
stole portion Of it and published it to the
world; and they fell to discussing with ~
great deal more eagerness the question as to
whether the correspondents had a right to
steal it, than the question of what its provis-
ions we're. The people don't know about it.
The Democratic party press either did not get
hold of it, or they were more occupied in try
ing to cover up the Ku-Klux down South,
than they were in finding out whether their
interests were sacrificed at home. The Re-
publicans press thought they mast not say any
thing about it, because they thought it was an
Administration measure, and "Glory Hal
lelujah" must be said to it; and nobody but
poor unfortunate Representative in Congress,
who did not like to see his constituents go I'M

Gen. Butler said there was one thing about
the Treaty that everybody ought to under
stand, which is, that the fishery part does not
go into effect, and has no binding force until
both Houses Of Congress pass law giving 1t
effect Therefore it was that he was now
agitating the matter. The Treaty is to come
up in the present Congress, and, $50 far as
in me lies" said the General, 81 propose to
oppose any laws which will carry these fishery
clauses into effect. This will not abrogate or
set aside any other provisions Of the Treaty"
The General continued at length, criticising
the Treaty, and expressing the hope that the
obnoxious fishing clauses might be eliminated
from it.

listened to with close attention and was fire.

At the conclusion Of Gen. Buffers speech
the meeting voted to call n town meeting at
an early day, to appoint committee to visit

other Massachusetts Representatives npon
the subject before them.

Washington, a plan by which ships at sea
within sight of land from ten miles south OF
Cape Henlopen to New York city, may be
warned of approaching danger form his Office
by the use of General Myers system Of sig
mails, which are to be repeated from light
houses and life-saving stations along the
coast. 1t has been submitted to the Treasury
Department by the Chief Signal Officer, with
few additional practical suggestions, and
will probably be adopted. An extended use
OF MIR. Townsend's plan will enable shipping

The new Spanish ambassador, Admiral
Polo de Barnabe, was, under Queen Isa-
bella, an advocate of the most violent meas
ures against those South American republics
which became involved in difficulties with
Spain. During the war with Peru he was so
violent in denouncing the policy Of the Cabi-
net towards that republic, and in demanding
a more energetic prosecution Of the war, that
he was removed from his position. He then
took his seat in the Cortes, where he attacked
the government still more bitterly. While
he thus incurred the displeasure of the royal
court, he became exceedingly popular among
those hot-headed young Spanish politicians
who believe that their country is destined to
recover its lost possessions in the new world.
After the overthrow of the Bourbon dynasty
Senior Polo de Barnabe became the political
lieutenant of Admiral Topete, with whom he
had Away been on friendly terms. He took
an active part in the intrigues which led to
the election of King Amadeus, and has ever
since been great favorite at the court of the
new monarch. As regards the Cuban Ques-
ton, Admiral Polo has always voted in the
Cortes for the most rigorous measures for
the suppression of the rebellion.
