argument in favor Of such n change, the Legis-
lafura nronerlx IGNORED the request.

argument in favor Of such change the Legis-
lature properly ignored the request.
The Governor then, apparently, set out TO
hamper as far as possible, the Secretary OF State
in carrying out the law. The enumerators
serve for few days only, and the pay is small.
The Governor concluded that they ought to be
appointed under Civil Service regulations, 10
which the Secretary Of State promptly agreed.
The Civil Service Commission, by the Cover
nors direction, classified the enumerators, under
the head of nom competitive employees, and
asked the Secretary of State to name examiners
in each district, which he did. The Governor
then changed his mind and directed new
classification of the enumerat0rs suDJectihg
them to competitive examinations. Inc lm-
mediate effect of this change is to require COM
petitive examinations in each district, ana 10
compel the Secretary of State to select enumer-
ators from the list of names submitted by the
Civil Service Commissioners.
The cost of these examinations will amount
to a large sum, and the Civil Service Com
mssoners refuse to do anything without an APP
preparation. Ten days notice has to be given
before the examinations can be held, the papers
have then to be examined, the result trans
mitted to the Secretary, and he has to make
5000 selections and forward commissions and
instructions by May 1. To accomplish that.
after an appropriation has been secured from
the Legislature, is clearly impossible. tIhe
Governor knew that to be the case. He desires
to compel the census TO be taken under an ar
rangcment satisfactory to him, or else defeat it
altogether. At first he said the expenditure
should be limited to $4,000 Now he is anx-
ious to add an unnecessary expense OF thou
sands of dollars solely to reap slight partisan
advantage. Secretary Crar is inclined to be-
leve that he will have to go ahead under the
law, irrespective of the Goveronrs wish, and 1t
looks as though that might be necessary. The
Governor will certainly gain nothing in public
respect from his vacillating and inexcusable
course in this matter.

The settlement of the Northwest territory,
and the increase in the value of land there,
seem to have led the Canadians into the mis-
taken ways of dealing with the Indians which
in the past brought so much trouble upon the
United States. They are accused OF helping
themselves to Indian lands, of refusing to ac-
cord any rights to the half-breeds. and OF hav-
ing begun to treat the Indians just as they were
long treated by frontiersmen in the United
States. Such policy has its legitimate result in
RieI,s rebellion.

The session of the New-Jersey Legislature
which ends to-day will be long remembered by
Governor Leon Albeit. 1t has resulted in
taking from him all his powers of appointment
except those secured by the Constitution. To
the public that is rather cause for rejoicing
than otherwise, as the Governor has shown
himself wholly untitled to exercise such powers.
His overweening ambition to go to the Unit,
States Senate will probably result in perma-
nently retiring him to private life-the post he
seems to be alone fitted to adOrn.

President Barrios, according to the letters
from Guatemala which we print to-day, has
made extensive preparations for carrying for
ward his scheme for a Central American Con-
federation. 1t has been the one idea of his busy
life, and there is SAID to be strong feeling IN
favor of it among the thinking men OF Central
America. Barrios, however. does not seem to
DO meeting with great success in bis under
taking. The trouble with the Central American
leaders is that they all want to be Caesars. and
each one is ambitious to have government of
his own.

Secretary Lamar seems to have forgotten
that great changes have taken place in the gov
erpnent of the Nation since 1861. The Con-
federates Of those days upheld as lawful any
interference, in their interests, with the con
tents of the United States mail bags. But that
practice ceased to be so regarded when Re-
publican Administration came into power at
washington. The Secretary is now reported
as attempting to revive the practice by order
ing that certain letters sent out under Presi-
dent Arthur's Administration be not delivered
to their lawful owners but returned to the de-
partment. Happily for the Secretary. he was
sbowp his mistake in time to couutermand his
unlawful order.

The cali for the protection Of American inter-

over the inadequacy ofthe American Navy But
for years they have steadily opposed the efforts
made to enlarge the Navy and to equip 1T with
modern guns. 1t has been the same way with
the sea-coast defences. The country is as de-
fcieut in tirst-rate guns as in forts and ships.
The agreeable fancy that we shall remain at
peace with all Powers forever may be rudely
dissipated when least expected With the
probability of great war in Europe the need
Of stronger navy to protect American inter-
