This Institute Is, by Law, recognized

are met by these meetings. Well di.
gested and concise thoughts on schoo
organization, government, programmes

ment Of schools, are given. Anoths'
important object. Is the bringing to

rnE Crvi1 sKnv,cx COMMISSION.

TaE Richmond STATE, In speaking Of
the Civil Service Commission, says that
only one Of Ehe three can be even sup
posed to knew anything about the prao-
teal reform duties which The Commis-
sion must discharge. That single one
Is Mn. EAToN, who has been long act
lively engaged in this work, and whose
name has been closely connected with 1t
since the beginning Of the agitation In
behalf 81 better service. The single
Democrat on the Board Is Judge Tho
NAN, gentleman little known hereto
fore. He comes from town in Ohio
which bears the unfortunate name Of
Mahening, and which, were we super
stitious, we would look upon a. rather
bad omen for reform of any kind.
Judge THoMAS was appointed, it is said,
in courtesy to his friend, Senator PES-
pLEroN, who was the patron of the Civil
Service bill. Prof. JoIN n. GREooRY,
the third and last Of the Civil Service
Commissioners, like Mr. EATON, Is a
Republican. It seems that he has had
claims upon his party for some time,
and has at last received his reward. He
was first put forward for the German
mission, then for the Italian mission,
and having failed to receive either oi
these appointments bis name was very
kindly sent in as one Of the Commits
sioners. That he knows or cares any.
thing about civil service reform Is doubt
ful; but he seems 70 have been chosen
for his present position not because oI
any marked qualifications, but because
he bad been waiting 30 long for an Office,
His appointment is, therefore, direct
blew at the very spirit of reform in the
civil service. The Commission, taken
ell in all, Is weak.

Governor Thayer in his message to the

and even by = correspondent In the
Statesman. OF course we know nothing
about DR.. Givens, and 20 far ~ we see,
no. one else seems to know him. IL
matters not to us whether the Dr.. is .
Democrat or . Republican. We do not
question the right Of the Board to ap-
point all Republicans. We shall not
call in question their integrity If they
de. But We said once before ia these
columns, that We had information that
led Us to believe that the DR.. i not q

have been made to create little cheap
reputation for the Board If their was

tation.

The following extract is taken from G
speech made by Senator Slater in the
United States Senate on the End Of Feb.
upon the revision of the tariff. Toe
relations Of the I've parties to the tariff
question are cogenuy stated, We ask
the attention of our farmer friends to
the subject:
And now that the tarif-reyision
question is at last before the two
Houses Of Congress how stands the
contest between opposing interests
the protected monspoltas and the peo-
pIs who bear the burdens Of taxation !
Who champions the interests Of :he
great working and consuming classes J
And wbo champions the other side,
where are ranged all the manufacturing
interests pleading that The consumers
Of the country shall be taxed apon oil
that they consume In order that they,
the lnanufacturers, may fatten upon the
indirect ezactions made possible through
the imposition Of duties levied upon for
eign importations I Who bas, from day
to day, defended the interests Of chat
great class scattered all over the North,
West, and South, engaged in agricultur-
81 pursGitsf And who have plead for
high duties upon every class Of manu-
factured products, from q slatO-pencil to
locomotive, for fear that some manI-
facturer's income might be reduced
just a little il the rate of duty was
lowered or some struggling industry
like pig-iron, might die out or perish for
want Of protection.
The record win show that it has
been in every respect party contest.
The Republicans with very few ex
ceptions seting steadily and solidly for
the highest rates Of duty often largely
increasing present rates.. while the
Democrais with equally few ekeeptionsI
have as uniformly urged and voted. for
lowering tariff rates and to increase the
free-list in many cases.

The weather signs have been very
closely watched throughout California
during the last montb, not to see if the
Wigginistic prophecy should come to
pass, but to see if The farmers of tbat
State are to make farming = success
this year or not. The area is said to
be larger than ever before. It has been
estimated that if spring rains should be
abundant the number of bushels Of
wheat would be fully 1900, 900. The
Bselleein IN speaking of the outlook for
crops fifteen days ago said that the
question Of good crops would be decided
in the next twenty days. There is an
agricultural interest of $50, 900, 900 in
California. and if the dry weather
should continue from this on the
shrinkage would be 90 per cent. The
loss of $4,000, 900 bushels of wheat
would be only one item. Hay, barley
and oats would be correspondingly short.
Already has the dry weather decided
the question Of crops or ue crops on the
west eide Of the San Joaquin Valley.
Tulare, Kern and Fresno counties,
Where irrigation is resorted 70 good
crops may be expected. S
Taken aitogether there is not much
IA the crop prospect in California to
snspire hope among orr Galifornia
Areshren Of reaping an average harvest.
Even among our own people at this
writing Marcia l9) We bear fears sx.

lying IN the ground unsprOuted in con-
sequence of lack Of moisture. Ons Of

Senator DOlph tells . n. !. paper
that the people Of Oregon will be very
much benefited by the reduction of the
tariff on iron. bat that they we're oppos-
ed to the reduction On wool Now the
truth is that eur voOl growers are the
only onss Who we're directly opposed to
the rsduetion on wool, because they are
directly interested, but they constitute
only . very small part Of the great body
Of the people. Bat the people in .
body were in favor Of the reduction on
iron because they were directly interes-
ted, being tens6ted thereby. The truth
