It is perhaps not difficult to account for the
decrease in the number of American seamen, as
shown by the consular reports quoted IN the
report of the Fifth Auditor of the Treasury.
II hasbee matter of earnest discussion Ill Con-
gress for years, but that has not checked the de-
cline Our laws are framed carefully to guard the
interests of American seamen and by employ
ing foreigners masters escape some conditions
which they consider Onerous. There are other
reasons, however, for the decline, such rs the
growing dislike of Americans to serve an APP
prenticeship, and the fact that more remunera-
tive employment can be had on land. Ana
last but not least, the decline Ill American
shipping.
Mayor Edison would hardly be suspect cd OF
having any sympathy with Civil Service re-
form But if he carries ont his expressed inten-
ton of applying to the Civil Service of the city
the recommendations made yesterday by the
State Civil Service Commission, he will go far
toward redeeming the worst feature of his ad-
ministratiOn. The rules and regulations for ad-
mission INTO the OlNll CtlN lCt VI Nltl 40 ~
commended by the State Commission provide
for competitive and non-competitive exanina-
lions The city employees are to be divided into
three classes and Board of Examiners Is to be
appointed for each branch of the service. In
one respect the Mayor has even greater power
than the Governor or President in carrying out
this work of Civil Service reform. The Presi-
dent and the Governor are restricted III their
choice of examiners to persons in the service
but the Mayor can select any citizen Inc
State Commission recommend that persons in
the employ of the city be classified and the rate
of pay fixed, othat each one performing he same
kind of service shall receive the same rate OF
paw That is a wise suggestion The present
system of fixing the compensation OF city en-
ploycs is nothing less than scandal. There
are 694 different rates of pay i'll the Educational
Department, and 1875 different rates IN other
departments. Out of 20 messengers in the de-
partmcnts, each one gets different rate of pay.
Favoritism should be abolished and all en-
ployes placed on an equal footing IL the hrot
step in Civil Service reform.

TDTE GLdSS-MAKERS.

Dispatches from Pittsburg contradict each
other. The strike of window glass workers, ac-
cordng to the leaders, is sustained by the
trades union with entire harmony, and, though
it has lasted about two months, it is asserted
that the men are financially In better condition
than on the first day, as the glass workers OF
the East have responded literally to the calls
for aid" The wages paid to the 5000 glass
workers in Pittsburg amount to nearly
$4,000, 900 a year, and, though these are by no
means all makers of window glass the cOntri-
button from Eastern workers must have been
large If the men are really better off financially
for two months of idlcness. Another dispatch,
however, afiirms that there is great dssatisfac
ton among the men; that some openly charge
that their leaders are i'll collision with the glass
importers of New York, if not actually i'll their
pay and that those leaders prolong the strike,
while riding about the country in palace-car5
and spending money freely, because the import
ers are enabled by the strike to do q large and
profitable business. This is just the sort of sus
picion that would naturally spring up among
members of a tradcS-uniOn, when they find that
they have been led to act upon false infOrma
ton.

could not afford TO go on without change in
tho terms of labor which had been cXacted by
the trades union. The wages paid were high
the window glass workers of Pennsylvania in
the census year averaged over 5000 each old
and young, good, bad and Indifferent. But that
was not the worst. The rules and restrictions
forced upon tho manufacturers by the union
were such as to prevent the full and economical
use of the costly plant employed. In effect the
owncrs were compelled to thiOw away part oI
the producing power of their property, and to
handicap themselves heavily in competition
with foreign makers. This thoy determined to
change or else to discontinue work. The work
men did not believe that the manufacturers
were in earnest. Trusting to information given
by the leaders in their association, they were
persuaded that tho manufacturers could with
profit, and therefore would, continue 70 run
their works on the old terms. The test proves
that they were mistaken. The experience has
been costly, if not to the workers OF Pittsburg,
then To the Eastern workers who have support
ed them in idlcness. But 1t is not too costly, If
it has helped to teach the glass-worllerS that
the leaders of q tradcs-union do not necessarily
know moro about the business of a mandatory
than the manufacturers themselves.

There is some hilarity In tho newspapers because

pearcd, armed with two revoyers, after iniiamng
his mind with dime novels, and has left behind him
evidences of the existence Of a secret society which

REMEDY TORSE IMAM THE DISEASE.
The Albany Erening Post proposes that Con
grcss shall cxpond 81 600, 600 900 IN river i'm
proycmcnts and ship canals, make fresh issue
of lcgal-tendcr grccnbacks to that amount to
meet tho cost and provide thnt the notes shall
be Mt all times interchangeable for tifty-year
two per cent bonds, which will serve as basis
for National bank circulation. with such
"rcgulator in the money market everything
would run along smoothly that journal thinks
When money becomes too plentiful, the green
backs would bo Immediately converted into
"bonds. When tho money market be
"comcs active and dear, the bonds in turn
would be Immediately converted into green
~backs' And thus the Nation would lift
itself by its own boot-straps, so TO speak, over
the financial difficulties that every other COM
mcrcial nation has to meet.
Does The TRIBUNE favor this idea Y De-
cidcdly not If not, why nOtT asks the
Abdny Post For one reason, because the
issue of legal tender notes in timo of peace
,yould bo unconstitutional. For another, be-
cause the Government has not been able to cX-
peud, without outrageous fraud, tho fftcth part
of 81, 900, 900, 900 in river improvements and
canals. and has no occasion to spend that vast
sum in such a way, nor have the people any do
sire to burden themselves and their children
with so great debt. For third, because
three Der cent bond is worth about par and II
two Dor cent bond might be considered worth
about sixty-six cents on the dollar, more or less,
and that would not be safe basis for banking
circulation For Il fourth, because the inter
chnngeabiliiy for legal tender notes would not
lift such bonds to par, but would simply drag
down the purchasing power OF the currency to
the level of tho two per cent bond. We should
throw away all the magnificent results achieved
by the Nation through years of endurance and
trial in the struggle to restore the currency TO
specie basis and should dive deeper into the
mire of bankruptcy and dishonor than the low
est point ever reached during or after the Clvu
War. Finally, because tho privilege OF clrcuat-
ing bank notes with u thousand millions more
of lrgal-tcndcIs afloat, would not he worth any
thing and tho banks would therefore have no
induccmcnt to take two per cents or to keep tho
bonds they have. On the contrary, the bad
fnith of the Nation in issuing more legal tenders
would admonsh them TO sell their four and four
and n half per cents "a soon ~ possible, surron-
der their circulation. get the gold Of the Treas

Suffolk Countys bi-centennial celebration
yesterday was not great success. The truth
is that the people are too much occupied with
the coming celebration of Evacuation Day in
New-York to take much interest in less i'm
portant events of similar kind. There is
every indication that New York's celebration
will be grand success
The question Of municipal reform is one of
the most important now before the public.
Brooklyn has started the work i'll good fashion,
and it is to be hoped that Boston, III its APP
preaching municipal election, will do equally
well If nOn-partisan city government can
be substituted for the Butler Democratic rule
under which Boston now suffers, 4 great gain
for the cause of reform will have been made.
One of the strange characteristics of a humor-
LIST is his inability to appreciate joke when APP
piled to himself. For instance, our genial
friend Mr.. 5. $. Cox is unable to see anything
jocuar about his canvass for the SpcakcrShip
of the House. We have repeatedly said that
he was The TRIBUNE's candidate; ard now
Mr. Cox complains that we have been unkind
to him. He apparently fail, to appreciate the
fact that it is largely due to The TRIBCNE's
advocacy of his claims that he can now so con
adently count upon his election.
The French are too easily Initiated for their
own welfare IL they paid less attention to tho
affairs of other nations, and directed their cner-
gies to home improvements and reforms, they
would better fulfil the true work of a Republic.
The unfriendly manner with which they regard
the projected visit of the German Crown Prince
TO Spain. and the visit Of NJ. dc Giers to Bis
marck, seems foolish. If there were more sOcia-
bility and freer personal interchange of
views between the ruling heads of Europe there
would be less danger of its peace being dis
turbed.
The college presidents who met in Boston last
night to discuss the question of modern Ian
guages in colleges were not harmonious in
their views. Some of them appear to think with
Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, jr., that the modern
languages should take the place i'll the college
curriculum heretofore assigned to the classics

Gnvernor Adams. Inaugu.al.

Gov. Adams inaugral is a brief,
vet interesting document, containing
some Suggestions worthy OF heed.
He declares that it'll the exception
of such saving as a be made in the
maintenance OF the Asylum, Prison,
Orphans Home, the States expenses
are as low as can be expected. lie
asserts that it is to the county and mu.
nicipal governments we must look for
the reduction of expenses and relief
from the burden Of tsxation. The
report of the Controller shows for the
year 1881 the State tax on all property
not including the net proceeds OF
mines, was in round numbers $3.50
900, while the county tax amounts 10
$4,000. For the year 1882 the same
authority shows that the States por-
ton of last years taxes We're in the
proportion of nine to thirty-one Of he
amount of taxes received. The Gov
ernor argues against the demonitlza-
ton of silver, fearing that Congress is
liable tie legislate against the mining
industry. He favors a State Board
of Equalization, and thinks there is
ample for legislation upon the
subject Of fares and freights. He
thinks Nevada ought to have all OF
California east of the Sierra Nevada
mountains annexed to it, but knows
full well that California will never
cede it. After stating hal 1.-THE Chi
nese must CO." he concludes with a

Favoritism In ths Army.

The application CT Paymaster Was
son, United States Army, for leave of
absence for two years, with full pay,
to do special service for the Japanese
Government, has led to n debate in
the House OF Representatives, which
shows that there is as much favorit-
ism in the army as in the civil depart
ments Of the Government. An aficer
of the Twenty-third Infantry, Captain
Joffn f. Trout, has been granted four
consecutive leaves OF absence, of six
months each, from tho War Depart
ment, and though he draws 81 900 a
year from thu Government, he rem
ders it no service whatever. lie is in
the employ OF the Pullman Car Com
pany as Inspector, and gets $4,000 per
annum for such services, in addition
SO what he receives from.the Govern
ment. The case OF Captain Trout Is
said 70 be one of many of that char
acter-a fact which shows the absurd
ity of increasing the army, as recon-
menued by the Secretary of War and
General Sherman.
