i'm view Thus laws unnecessarily in
terfering with the habits and customs
of any of our people, which are not
offensive to the moral sentiments of
the civilized world and which are
consistent with good citizenship and
the public welfare, are unwise and
veXatIous,
The commerce Of a nation to a

The people pay the wages Of the
public employees and they are entitled
TO the fair and honest work which the
money paid should command. It is
the duty of those e"'rusted with the
management of their affairs to insist
that such public service is forthcom-
ing. The selection and retention of
subordinAtes in government employ
ment should depend upon their ascer-
tanned fitness and the value of their
work; and they should be neither ex-
pected nor allowed to do questionable
party service. The interests of the
people will be better protected, the
estimate of public labor and duty will
be immensely improved; public
employment Will be open to ali who
demonstrate their fitness to enter it.
The unseemly scramble for place IN

quent Importantly which embitters

departments will not be filed with
those who conceive it To be their first
duty to aid the party to which they

pie.

In is no wonder that Bismarck is
exasperated and alarmed at the Ger
man emigration to the United States,
and feels that something ought to be
done to stop it. Between the years
1920 and 1879, Germany contributed
TO the population of the United States
three millions Of people. During the
single year 1882, 25o, $50 Germans
landed on our shores. In 1880 S4,-
638 came; in 1881, 21O, 1855; in 1883,
1877, 7S6. Thus, during our first cen
tury as a republic, nearly 1000, 000
900 of Germans have left home and
kindred to settle in an independent
English-speaking country.

The Proposed Canal Across ireland.
BuGalo Courier.

The project for constructing a ship
canal across Ireland has been warmly
espoused by influential people in En-
gland. Elaborate plans and surveys
have been ndde at considerable eX-
pense, and have been submitted by
Capt Eads, the American engineer.
The Llans were prepared by Mr. I. A.
Walker, of Great George street,
Westminster The proposed canal
would be 127 mules in length, and
would contain thirty locks. For ships
1, 500 tons the cost would be 5000,
600; for ships of $500, SIP, 200, COO;
and for ships of 5000 and upwards,
500 600 GOO. If built on this scale the
canal would be 200 feet wide on the
surface and 100 feet az the bottom,
the passage through the canal would
be effected by a system of tOwage, and
1t is estimated that the passage of a
ship from Galway Bay TO Kingstown
