A PARTY QUESTION,

This is what Civil Service Reform has now
openly become, and no Republican is sorry to
have it so just at a time when the independent
voters need to understand the real spirit OF both
parties. 1t was, practically, party question,
when the National law was passed, for the
Democrats in Congress sought to cripple 1t with
amendments, and their secret feeling was one
of hostility The only bills to repeal the law
have been introduced by Democrats. The last
Democratic Legislature in this State did, under
the stress of public sentiment, pass law, but
by the time this session opened they had re-
pented of having reformed. The only bills to
repeal the law have come from Democrats anu
the other day all the votes in the Assembly but
one against the bill making the law compulsory
in all cities of over 10000 people came from
Democrats.
The same spectacle was repeated day o. Two
since in the Massachusetts Senate. Il Clyll
Service law was under consideration, and Dem
ocrats attacked it, jeercd at it, voted against It,
One Senator said the bill was the embodiment
of hypocrisy y" a trick to keep men in warm
berths on the eve of a change" Another said
II was q a humbug" and "a civil fraud" The
bill was passed by a strict party vote-a record
of which the Republicans have no reason to be
ashamed and which is likely to be repeated.

On Sunday, March 16, THE TRIBUNE pun
lished description of the condition OF the SILK
industry in Paterson-"T The Lyons OF America
A letter from Mr.. Robert p. Porter In regaru u, ~
the Lyons of France and its silk-weaVers Will
be found elsewhere in this issue. A comparison
of the statistics of the two articles SHOWS 'h"'
while the industry at Paterson has had re-
marlable DEVELOPMENT, it has not yet over
+oLen LYONS by any means. The number OF
hands cmployed in silk-weaving in the New
Jersey city is about $4,000; at Lyons they
number 10000. 1t cannot be said, therefore,
that silk making in America is as yet Ilili-
grown industry. On the contrary it is still IN
its infancy, and while it is growing fast 1t is
not ready to stand without Protection. OWING
to the greater use of machinery in America,
comparison between the wages paid to SILK
weavers here and in France is not satisfactory;
but still it is evident that the pay in France IS
so much less than in the United States that II
the tariff barrier were thrown down, 1t would
mean goodbye to silk weaving in this country
