The Revenue Marine

We have already noticed and opposed
the scheme for transferring the United
States revenue marine to the control of
the Navy Department. In this cOnnec-
ton the Philadelphia Times remarks !:
THE Chairman of the House Naval Com
mittee, Mr.. Harris, of Massachusetts, has
received so many and such positive re-
plies from his recent circular asking the
opinion of interested parties on the pro-
pOsed transfer of the revenue marine SER
vice to the Navy Department that he is
convinced the scheme is impracticable.
He announces, therefore, that the matter
will be dropped. In this Mr.. Harris has
shown good sense.
Business men have shown themselves
almost universally opposed to the trans
fer. They have come in contact with it
under its present management and they
know that it as efficiently managed as its
facilities permit or as can be expected.
They also know that its transfer to the
navy would make its work largely expert
mental, and that the elements of danger
would enter into it largely.
''It is to be hoped the question
is settled so positively that
scheming politicians who may
become Secretary of the Navy, will never
bring it up again." No one doubts the
ability of Mr.. William f. Chandler to re-
duce the Revenue Marine Service to a CO.
ordinate branch of the already large
political pOorhOuse for the maintenance
of political hacks. The Revenue Marine
has done we'll enough under its present
management. Let we'll enough alone.

General Henderson, SenatOr-elect from
Nebraska, is said to be sound lawyer
and man Of excellent character. He
went to Nebraska from Ohio, his native
state, about thirteen years ago, since
which time he has practiced his profession
at Omaha and kept alOOf from politics.
The only Office he has held in Nebraska is
that of CITY Solicitor of Omaha. General
Henderson has always been a Republican,
but a conservative one. He has a WELL
trained mind and does his own thinking
His election as Senator is entirely credit
able to the State and to himself, and it is
more than likely that he Will prove to be
the strongest and best man that Nebraska
has ever sent to the National Senate. If
he shows as much independence as his
colleague. Mr.. Van Wyek, he will attest
the wisdom Of the choice Of the Legisla-
lure.

The Fraud of pairs
Washington Critic.

The rule ought to obtain that when a
Senator or Representative leaves his post
of duty to look after his private business
or to seek pleasure his pay should cease,
and the party to which he belongs should
bemade to suffer the loss or disadvantages
of his absence. This would tend more
than any other thing TO secure prompt
attention to public business. There are
now fully One-third of the Senators absent.
There has not been day since Congress
convened that fully one-third of the men,
bers of the Senate were not absent attend
ing to their private affairs. II should be
stopped some way or other.

suspend the coinage Of standard silver dol
lars,aud that those now in the Treasury not

used TO take up the outstanding interest

There are at least two sides to the
woman suffrage question in Massachu-
sets. and, while the friends of the pro-
posed innovation make by far the more
noise, it is very probable that their OppO-
nents are largely in the majority. Last
Thursday the President of the State Sen
ate presented to that body a remOnstrance
against the imposition of further political
duties upon women, which was signed 10y
about sixty Boston women, all well known
and many of them wives of prominent
men. This, combined with the decreasing
registration of women in Boston every
year, tends TO show that the agitators are
advancing IN a backward direction.

Mr.. d. Eckstein, American Consul

Mr.. d. Eckstein, American Consul at
Amsterdam, calls the attention of the
American public TO the fact that an Inter-
nation Exhibition is to be held at Amster-
dam during the term extending from May
to October, 1888. Up to the present time
only about four hundred and forty square
feet space have been secured by six Anne
rican firms. There seems to be a conflict of
opinion as to the probable success of the
exhibition among the Dutch themselves.
Still Consul Eckstein thinks it would be
worth the while Of Americans to make a
test of suitability of American goods for
the Dutch market by putting them in the

Connecticut has never had an Attorney
General, and the office will not be created
this year, though recommended IN the
messages of the last two Governors. The
reason assigned, according to the Hart
ford Times, is that the Office would be
pretty sure TO be filled, not by the best
man for the place, but by the appoint
ment Of some political partisan. If this
be a true bill, it must apply to the other
States, most all of which have reputable
and competent Attorneys General, and
there is no reason why it should not to all
other public servants. 1t would appear
as if the prudent inhabitants of the Nut
meg State did not want such an officer,
and assigned the first reason that came
handy.

Reform in this matter (the public

Indignant Republicans in the House OF
Representatives wanted to read Kasson, of
Iowa, Anderson, Of Kansas, and some other
Western members out of the party because
they had been voting all one day with the
Democrats to reduce the tariff. 1t is very
probable that in straight fight for a
revenue tariff by the Democrats they will
lose some men who now generally act with
them on questions other than those relat-
ing to revenue reform, but little incidents
like the one here noted show that the Re-
publieans in adopting a contrary policy
will lose SOME of their men, probably a
great many more than they will gain.
Events in the West and Northwest, as
we'll as at Washington, indicate this
clearly enough.

The appOrtionment bill introduced by a

now of force under which the Democrats
We're never able to elect majority Of
Congressman until this year, though car
rying the State by 10000, and then by
nearly $1,000. Gerrymandering however,
is a kicking gun, and the recOil is some
times fearful, as was the case in 1874 and
1882. Districts formed in that way can only
be relied upon when each party polls its
usual vote, but the one benefited is forced
to leave so many districts with small ma
iOrities in the attempt to capture more
than its share that the least revolt against
it leaves it worse off than if the districts
were more fairly outlined. In the long run
the gerrymandering hurts as much as it
helps.
