ISSUES tor the Next Campaipn

Supreme ,Jfdge Field. IN the CEeCeldnd Ledder.
''What ideas have you, Judge" said l,
las TO what the issues should be during
the coming campaignT'
Il do not know" was the reply, ''as to
the issues Of the campaign. But l think
there should be changes in the general ad-
ministratiOn of the government. A con-
ciliatory policy should be adopted to-
wards the south. Official equality should
be given to ali States without regard to
location. The South has as good brains
and as good executive qualities as the
North. No part of this broad country
should be Ostracized. 1t should be one
nation from the lakes to the gulf
and from ocean TO ocean. The Mis-
siSsippi river should be so improved
that the lands along its banks will be Sc
cure from the floods and changes of its
enamel. When New \ 0Ork. a single city,
has Just completed such vast mechani-
cal construction as the Brooklyn bridge,
great government ought certainly to be
able 10 take care of its own territory.
The nation should take this matter in
hand, Ine improvement has been so far
local, and consequently vain. The South
has bright future before it. 1t will be
the garden of America, and in the future
one of the best and richest parts of il. II
has the climate. the soil and the mineral
wealth TO make a great country, and the
future will see it cOequal with the North. ,
what is your idea of the tariff, Judgey'
.'The true idea" replied Judge Field,
is. of course, tariff for revenue only. Free
trade is not possible, and VIII not be for
some time. At present we must have
some incidental protection. Whether the
present laws as to this are correct or not
is not the question. Under them i'm
mense manufacturing interests have
grown up, and no immediate change
which would destroy them should be
adOpted"

LAUGHING AT REFORM.
THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMITS
SION MADE A SINECURE.

A Wirepuller Rushed into Every Va
cant Office in Time to Avoid the In
convenience of an ExamInatfOn-Not
So Much as Puff of Smoke Left of
the Anti-LOngstreet Skirmish.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-The great civil
service reform bill goes into effect next
Monday. 1t will be long time before
any appointment upon recommendation
after examination by that commission is
made. The NEWS correspondent to-day
made a canvass of all the departments. In
the Treasury Department only are there
vacancies and there but two vacancies, and
they will be filled tomorrow. In all the 9TH
er departments every place has already
been filled. There has been a good deal of
hurry in this work. The reason for il is.
OF course, obvious. 1t is to head off the
provisions of the civil service bill. Most
of the recent appointees in the depart
ments would have been unable to
qualify had they been subjected
to an examination by the Civil Service
Commission. They are favorites who are
rushed in to avoid the inconvenience of
examination. Careful inquiry also de-
velOped the fact that vacancies in all the
Federal offices outside of Washington to
Wnlcn the terms OF the CIVIL SER
vice law apply, will have been filled by
Monday next. The result will
be that the Civil Service Commission
will find itself next Monday without a
single vacancy to fill. Everything will
be chOck-a-blOck, and the Commission
will be as naught. AS nobody is likely to
resign, death and dismissal will be the
only causes that can create offices to
be filled upon the recommendation of
the Commission. This will leave the
Commission nothing to do for long time,
except to make examinations and recon-
mend persons to be appointed in the mis-
ty future. The way the Republican par
ty is lodging civil service reform is in di-
rect conflict with its loud hOwls i'll favor
thereof.
The attack on Longstreet disappeared
altogether to-day. There was not even a
little smoke left after the assault. 1t was
laughable,

D'LESSEPS' NEW CANAL.
ENGLISHMEN UP IN ARMS OVER
THE CONCESSIONS.

The Governments Alleged Nearsieht
edness Cried Down in Several Popular
Meetings-Commercia Interests Pro
testing that They Have Been Neglected
Editors Keeping the Kettle Boiling
LONDON, July 12.-The Chamber of
commerce has unanimously decided that
the agreement between the British Gov
ernment and De Lesseps for the construc-
ton OF another Suez canal is Inadequate
ana unsatisfactory. Meetings of shin
owners at Sunderland and West Hartle-
pool have voted that the agreement is det-
rlmental to British commercial interests.
Numerous other similar bodies through
out the country have passed resolutions
OF the same character independently Of
politics.
AT meeting of merchants and ship
owners held to-day to discuss the agree
ment between NJ. de Lessons and
the British Government in relation to
the project for a second Suez canal.
resolutions were passed expressing regret
that the government has promised to use
their influence to obtain a concession Tor
the second canal in favor of Nj. de Les
seps' company instead Of securing a con-
cesslOn for an Independent British canal.
The standard believes that the
disposed to sanction the conditions
OF the canal agreement. The Tory papers
think that the agreement is a step in the
right direction, but it does not secure to
England sufficient control over the canal.
The Times believes that the country
will not consider that the agreement re-
moves the grievances of British shipping.
PARIS, July 12.-The French press
warmly approves the agreement between
the British Government and NJ. de Les
seps for the construction of another Suez
canal.
lie Temps says that the agreement is a
dehnlte treaty of peace which the business
world cannot fail to applaud.
La BearSe says that conflicting inter-
ests nave seldom been arranged so salts
fact0rily.
lie Paris declares that by this agree
ment the seeds of discord have been de-
strOyed.

GERMANY AND AMERICAN PORK
The North German Gazette Again At
tacks the American Minister.

LONDON, July 12.-The North German
Gazette again indirectly attacks Mr.. Sar-
gent, the American Minister, in an article
relative to the late report of Mr.. Sargent on
American pork. The Gazette in the same
article quotes an article from a Cincin-
natl paper relative to discoveries of adul-
teration in American lard.
The Times Berlin dispatch saws that
the Bundesrath, when it reassembles, will
probably pass a law forbidding the i'm
portatiOn of American lard.
The North German Gazette, OF Berlin.
quotes a letter from Mr.. Sargent, the
American Minister. in which he states
that Germany's pretence that the inter-
diction of the importation of American
pork was owing to sanitary reasons is
now becoming the thinnest veil. The
Gazette, in reply to the assertion of Mr..
Sargent, reproduces an article from a
Cincinnati paper, in which it is declared
that half of the lard manufactured in
America consists of cotton seed oil. tai
low, clay and water.
The Times correspondent at Berlin saws
that it is believed that the German Gov
ernment have now found the long sought
preteXt for favoring native lard, by pro-
hibiting imports from America. The ius-
tificatiOn by the North German Gazette of
the interdictlon of the importation of
American pork, by alleging that Ameri-
can lard is impure, is a characteristic
example of that paper,

ENGLAND'S SPECK OF WAR
MINISTER FERRY THINKS THE
CRISIS OVERDRAWN.

No French Admiral so Presumptuous
as the Reports Make Pierre-Britain
Asks an ExplanatiOn-France Await
ing Official InformatiOn-The Outcome
in Fog.
LONDON, July 12.-The report of the
doings of the French in Madagascar, al
luded to by Premier Gladstone in the
House of Commons yesterday, came from
the British Consul at Zanzibar. 1t was
brought to that place by man-Of-war.
The French Government has telegraphed
to Madagascar for details of the proceed
ings complained Of
During the session of the House of
Lords this afternoon Lord Salisbury
questioned Lord Granville, the Foreign
Secretary, as to whether the British forces
in Madagascar waters would be increas-
ed. Lord Granville said that he could not
make public statement, which might be
misconstrued, the more so as he had rea-
son to believe that the French Govern
ment was willing TO do what was right in
the matter.
The French Government have informed
England that they await official advices
from Tamatav before replying to Lord
Granville's demand for explanations of
the occurrences there.
M. TissOt, the French Ambassador in
London, who is absent on furIOugh, will
return to London sooner than he expect
ed to.
A correspondent of Reuters Telegram
Company at Paris says that the French
Government has been informed of the
conduct in Tamatav of Admiral Pierre,
referred to by Premier Gladstone in the
House of Commons yesterday.
The Times thinks it inconceivable that
the French (rOVprOmQpt will SIlOnOrf A6
miral Pierre in the outrage at Tamatav.
The Dditg Ne1CS says that the Madagas-
car matter is engaging the attention of
the German and United States Govern
ments, both of which had Consuls at
Tamatav when that town was occupied
by the French. The NeloS and other
morning papers anticipate that a loyal
and candid explanation of her action in
Madagascar will speedily be given by
France.
LONDON, July 13, A. M.-The Stand
ARDS correspondent at Paris says that
he has had an interview with Prime Min
lister Ferry, in the course Ofwhich NJ. Fer
ry declared that the excitement in Eng
land over the Tamatav affair must have
arisen from a miscOnceptiOn of the feel
lngs of the French Cabinet, whose most
sincere wish was to cultivate cor
dial relations with England. NJ.
Ferry believed that the occurrence
at Tamatav had been exaggerated. The
deceased British Consul, he said, was
known to be anti-French in his attitude.
The idea that any French Admiral would
insult the British flag M. Ferry declared
to be prepOSterOus, and he asserted that
Admiral Pierre could not have ventured
to adopt the extraordinary course attrib-
uted to him.
PARIS, July 12.-The evening papers
here believe that no serious difficulty will
arise out of the Tamatav troubles. LIE
Temps thinks that England has magnified
very small affair. lie journal DeS De-
bats expresses a similar opinion, and
points to what it describes as the growing
tendency on the part of England to con-
slider themselves entitled to exemption
from the burdens imposed by international
law on neutral nations.

lection Fully Explained.
ATLANTA, July 12.-The Governor sent
i'm no nomination for Solicitor to-day.
The rival candidates, however, have boon
busy with him and the Senators. The
excitement over Mr.. Bray's rejection has
subsidized, and the bottom facts have
satisfied the public that Governor Nc
Daniel could not have acted otherwise
than he did. Mr.. Bray was supported by
the Senator and three Representatives
from this city and by leading lawyers
and prominent citizen whose Democracy
has never been questioned. No charges
were made against Mr.. Bray's private
character or his professional record. Gov.
Mcdaniel could not wisely go behind the
Endorsement of the Senator and
Representatives of the county with
out himself creating a conflict. 1t
is not true that Mr.. Bray
is any relation to Gov. Mcdaniel.
Mr.. Bray was not related to the Governor
by blood or marriage, nor was he appoint
ed because they were old schOolmates and
personal friends. No doubt some persons
recommended Mr.. Bray because he and
the Governor had been schOolmates, and
they thought his chance the best; but
Governor Mcdaniel simply followed the
better path in needing the voice of the
immediate Representatives in the Legis-
lature. He accepts the rejection in a
kindly spirit, and will send in a new name
in due course of time.

JACKSON, MISS, July 12.-At meeting

The committee further recommend that

for raising the funds required After
a long discussion it was decided that
the next convention will be held in
Washington on the second Thursday in
February, 1884. 1t was agreed that the
