srcya1 sERYJCE LEGISLATION

Tho hill TO increase the efficiency OF the
Signal Service, row pending IN the Military
Committees of both branches of Congress,
seems to be in a fair way OF becoming Il law
Its object is to place the Signal Corps on an
equal footing with the other staff corps OF the
Army by giving it permanent otlclai cs'ao-
lishment. with promotion within its own body
The Service long ago Outgrcw its experimental
stage but so conservative is the old Army es-
tablishment, and 40 slow to change its organl-
cation that it has not yet been given the po-
siton of the Ordnance, the Engineers and the
other staff corps and departments. 1t has
n chief who is a brigader- general; but
all the subordinate officers except four
licutenants are detailed from the line OF
the Army and are liable to be sent back to
their regiments at any time. The Service III
the ten years of its existence, has grown to be
of immense benefit to nearly all the industries
of the country, and the public could not dis
pense with the information it daily furnishes.
So far, it has had many difficulties to contend
with. The period during which any KIND OF
meteorological observations have been accu-
rately made in this country is small as COM
pared with older countries, and such data to
possible be taken simultaneously in order that
comparisons can be made. This has been
done only by the Signal Service Bureau,
and the results now accumulatlng are
of great value The system under which
this has been done has shown good results
from the beginning, but with, longer experience
the forecasts will improve each year, as they
have been doing in the past.
The officers who do this work are more valu-
able where they are than they could possibly
be with their regiments and the great interests
now interviewer with the daily weather fore
casts make it important that they should remain
permanently in the service of the Weather Bu-
reau. A bin introduced into the Senate by Sen
ator Plumb provides for the return to their regl-
ments of all officers of the Army who have
been away three years. The bill has been
favorably reported by the Senate Military
Committee, and should it become a law would
take away every officer who has ever made Il
weather prediction.
The bill IN behalf Of the Signal Service
makes it in privileges, as 1t is i'll TACT, one OF
the scientific corps OF the Army, by giving
it's officers permanence OF service and a
chance for promotion. 1t creates no new
rank higher than that OF major, but it gives
TO the meritOrious serSeants who do the hard
work at the stations hope of rising to the
grade of lieutenant, and thence stepping up
ward as they grow old and experienced in the
scientific work Of the Bureau and 1t will
stimulate the ambition of the officers now at
tached to the same by detail by giving them
secure positions and the opportunity to rise III
the Service which Is opened to their comrades
in all the other branches of the staff.

4 GREAT M1NUFACTTRE.

The tenth census, if as complete in other
respects as the census Of the iron and steel
production, will be marvel of excellence.
From advance sheets of the Iron and Steel
report, by James NJ. Swank, special agent for
that branch OF manufacture, and secretary Of
the Iron and Steel Association, much very in
teresting information not hitherto published Is
obtained. Mr.. Swank has performed his part
of the great work with marked skill
and success, and accompanies the statistics
with q valuable paper giving the his
tory of the manufacture of iron and
steel in all ages, and a minute ac-
count of its development and growth in this
country. The work is also illustrated with
maps, showing the location OF iron end steel
production i'll all parts of the United States.
The main statistical facts of the report have
been given already in an abstract officially
published. which was issued just ten months
after the work was undertaken. The year
Covered by the census inquiries as Mr.. Swank
states, was one of extraordinary excitement
and temporary prosperity, but the manutac-
turers, by advancing prices unwisely. brought
upon themselves period OF reaction.
In the calendar year 1881, however, the man
ufacture recovered, and its product was much
larger in all respects than in the year covered
by the census. But the details given in the re-
port both as to kind and quantity OF produc
ton in different localities, and as TO quantity,
kind and cost of materials used, number and
wages of hands employed, capital invested and
its profits and average cost Of different kinds
of products in the different States and counties,
are of the utmost value.
The report IS limited to the productive, as
distinguished from the reproductive branches
of the manufactuTe-tO the works which pro-
duce pig iron. rolled iron. steel in crude state,
and rolled or hammered blooms and hammered
bar iron. The foundries are not embraced
The following shows the increase il the main
items from 1870 to 1880:

APPORTTONINENT.

The question of appOrtiOnment comes up III
a new form. The bill agreed upon by the
House Committee proposes House OF $40
members. When a Democratic House, which
had been defeated and discarded by the cOun-
try, attempted to force through a new appOr-
tionment, an extraordinary effort was made to
get the precise number which would give to
the Southern States the largest share of
the smallest share. 1t happens that, if the
number of members is increased from 1913 to
81 or less, the Southern States get great
part of the increase, and an undue share OF
representation. From 81 upward however,
the increase falls mainly to the North, and the
balance is restored. The proposed bill will
give 11S members to the States formerly
slaveholding; they therefore gain II members,
or 11.3 per cent of their present representa-
ton, while the Northern States gain ID mem
bers, or per cent. 1t cannot be said, there
fore, that the proposed apportonment is I'M
Just to the South or to the Democratic party.
Yet it may possibly be opposed 10y some Dem
ocratic members, because the choice of a
different number would give great and unfair
advantages 10 that party and to the South.
The proposed apportonmcnt gives to New
England only % members, and that section
now has 2S, but it has gained in popula-
ton less than any other, and must lose
in proportIonate power whatever tie al
lotment may be. Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont and Rhode Island each loose /
member while Massachusetts only gains l.
Of the other Eastern States, New-Iork gains
l, and Pennsylvania ?, New-Jersey re-
naming unchanged. These nine Eastern states,
with population of l4,5OO, OOU-a little less
than 30 Der cent OF the whole--will have
95 representatives, / less than 80 per
cent Of the whole number, but precisely
the number that they have III the present
Congress.
The sections which gain 10y the increase in
the number Of members are mainly the south
west and the Northwest To the three
Pacific States, the bill gives Z members
instead of 6, as now, California gaining !.

4 CrPE ron REPTDL1TTON

A repudiatng county in Tennessee has been
sharply brought to its senses by Judge Ham
mOnd, of the United States Circuit Court. In
order to escape levying a tax for P2S,OOO the
amount of a judgment recovered against the
county for bonds issued in aid of a railroad,
all the justices in the county, twenty-three III
number, resigned. The Judge now decides
that they have no right to abandon their
Offices. and he holds the Judgment over them
rs a lien upon their individual property, pend
ing their further action in the mandamus to
levy tax in April next to pay the judgment.
It is safe to predict that the justices will put
on the tax rather than pay the. debt them
selves. If Judge HammOnds doctrine could
be universally applied, town and county debts
would be less carelessy contracted, and their
paymcnt less frequently eyadcd.
The method resOrted to by the Justices OF
Louderdale County, Tennessee, to shiIk the
payment of a county debt is perhaps novel
one, but it belongs to Il whole class OF tricks
and evasions by which dishonest towns,
counties and cities in the West and South
have underworld to avoid the consequences of
their own acts in the issue and Endorsement
of railroad aid bonds. When such obligations
become burdensome and must be met by tax
alton, public sentiment too often urges the
officials whose duty it is to levy the tax to
evade that duty rs long as possible, by legal
subteriuges, or by neglect or positive refusal
to perform it. Judge Hammond's remedy may
be somewhat harsh, but it is no doubt etiectual.
The Justices will not hesitate long between
the alternative of obeying the Court or having
their own property sold to satisfy the judy
ment against the county.

in specie. reducing its bullion to EGO, 4Ol, La,
lint the Withdrawals on that day, Friday ana
Saturday. for shipment to Paris, amounted 10
f643.OOO. or $3,215,OOO. 1t appears TO De
the belief of English financiers, however tna'
money thus taken out will come back to Lon
oon again very quickly. The reported advance
in its rates to 7 per cent by the Bank OF BEL
GUM can hardly be regarded as OF great I'M
portance By the aid of the Bank OF rance
and powerful private bankers, very large
sums have been supplied to the Union zen
erale and parties who had heavy settlements
TO make in the BOurse, and 1t is supposeu
that the danger of great failures on the ISL
has been ayerted But, while the accounts
telegraphed are almost unanimously tavora-
bic. it is scarcely conceivable that INC
collapse of speculative mania, which mas
been raging for many months, and has placed
unon the market new securities amounting 10
two thousand million francs in one year, can
oltocether pass without serious consequences
Public confidence must be greatly impaired
and many firms and institutions must be so
crippled that their fall, after more or less
DELAY. is inevitable. If the danger proves 10
he over for time, however, it will make a
great difference in the demand for money IN
the near future at London and consequently
at New York.

of 1880 was gold, and was worth nearly one
fourth more than the dollar of 1870, of which
the average value in gold was Sill cents.
Thus the gold value of wages has increased
6S.s per cent, and the gold value of products
has increased 76.4 per cent. With great
increase in the efficiency of machinery
the quantity of product for each hand
employed has increased and also the gold
value of product for each gold dollar paid In
wages. The detailed tables show, too, that
very much larger proportion of the products
in 1880 than in 1870 were of steel and OF
iron in the more finished and costly forms
Thus the following analyses the products ac-
cOrding to the two census reports, quantities
being tons of 1000 pounds
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1882-01-30

The most remarkable increase shown is IN
Cook County, Illinois, where many large works
have been recently established, including three
furnaces finished during the census year, and
four others then in progress. In 1870 the
State produced only $4,000 tons of rolled
iron and no pig iron; in 1880 its products in
clude $500 tons of pig iron, 100000 tons of
Bessemer steel, and over $4,000 tons OF bar
iron. Pennsylvania still maintains its SUI
premacy, though it produces little smaller
proportion of the entire quantity than it did
in 1870. Both in 1880 and in 1870, Ohio
was the second State in rank, and New-York
the third,
