perceive the sturdy honesty of his mind,
the single hearted conscientiousness with
which he acts. Some of our men say he
moves too slowly. That is true, but he
has an immense work and responsibility
upon him. Of all reforms administrative
reform is the most difficult. To ascertain
where in the immense government estab-
ishment bad methods prevail and incom-
petent or unfit persons are employed, and
to improve the methods and substitute
faithful and competent men to do the
work, is huge task, for which even n
single Presidential term is scarcely
adequate. What has been accomplished
in the two months and half since the
4th of March is necessarily only the
beginning. The President and the cabi-
net have not had time to look closely into

Weak Points of the Dolphin.


WAsHISGToN, May l9.-Therc is great in
terest in naval circles in the trial trips of
the Dolphin. II Is not believed by any of
the experts who are studying the reports of
the trials that the Dolphin will be even able
to come up to the requirements of her con-
tract. 1t is believed that the whole trouble
with her lies in the weakness of her con
struction, and us necessary consequence
when the vessel goes out to sea her ma
chinery gets out of line through the giving
of the ship. 1t Is therefore considered
that the Dolphin, if she were fairly
out In rough water would be in danger OF
laundering. The responsibility for the
failure of the Dolphin rests In n measure
upon the advisory hoard and tho inspectors
who passed her. The government has a
lien upon the Dolphin for the money
advanced. Besides this Mr.. Whitney has
one payment in reserve, S5S,OO0 due Mr..
Roach for storage, and John Roach himself

Sixty plate printers and their assistants
and eight engrayers were furloughed
Thursday Mt the bureau of engraving and
printing in Washington. Six clerks and
one messenger in the office of the super
wishing architect of the treasury were also
dismissed Thursday, and the salaries of
three of the principal clerks were reduced
in order to bring the expenditures of the
Office within the limit of the appropria.
tions for the current fiscal year.
A news paragraph Thursday suggests
that we are getting very near TO the end
of foreign supplies of cheap railroad
labor. Some years ago nearly all the
laboring work in the construction of rail-
roads was done by Irishmen. When they
learned how valuable they were they
wanted more wages, and were replaced by
Italians. When these in turn adopted the
customs of the country Hungarians were
called into the service, and now we are
told that some Hungarians have struck
for higher wages, and have been replaced
by Greeks.-PhilaCIelphia Ledger.

The Fishery Act.

We knew there must be Delaware
side somewhere to the recent fishery
legislation which so stirred up our stur-
geon and shad catching neighbors on the
other side of the river, but we confess we
never comprehended the breadth and
depth thereof until we read the letter
which Justice" favors us with to-day.
As he puts the case he certainly
makes it pretty clear that the
time has come, not for any aggressive
movements upon Jersey fishermen, as
they have steadily and sturdily given
forth, but to protect our own fishermen,
upon what is indisputably our own side
of the river and bay, from being crowded
out by trespassing fishermen from New
Jersey. Every reader will find this letter
both entertaining and instructive.
An interesting and suggestive summary
in connection with the advertisement of
Philadelphia's city treasurer gives for
that city II drinking saloon for every 30
voters, grocery for every 524 voters and
bakery for every 164t voters. But do
these figures, strong us they are, rightly
present the only unwelcome feature in
the summary Is it not proverbial that,
while there is little difficulty in obtaining
true data of any other business, there
are many saloons that do not
appear i'll the public records ?
Would not high license. make
vast change for the better in these
figures by wiping out the dens that breed
the greater part of crime and poverty

rHE DYNAMITE p1ors.
A story in which Feeney and Rossa
Appear.


LONDON, May 49, The Press Associa-
tion has issued two-column statement
by an American, giving the full details of
the dynamite plots. Burton, il is stated,
was one of the Centres of O society called
the Robert Emmett Association, or the
Sons Of Freedom. Each Centre directed
party of plotters, who were unknown to
each other. Therefore party of men
might be working in the same plot at the
same place unknown to each other. The
chief of the society was not 0'Donoyan
Ross, but man residing id Philadelphia.
Burton, alias James Feeney, was long
bosom friend of Rosa. While in Baltimore,
Burton was constant visitor ut the house
of II handsome quadroon woman named
May Smith. The local patriots were
offended at, and complained of, this con-
ncction, which resulted in the call of
Burton to New York. A fortnight Inter
the woman was found dead, having been
shot in mysterious manner. In 1880
Burton quarreled with Rosa, and they
have since been bitter enemies. Burton
founded tho society. Avengers believed
BurtOn's motive throughout was not
patriotic, hut pecuniary. The statement
gives the method by which the explosives
were brought TO England. The Cover
street explosion was done by an elder
brother of Cunningham, resembling the
latter, who escaped to America imme-
diately after the explosion. Burton di-
rected all the explosions except that at
London bridge. He detailed Cunningham
and another man to blow up the tower.
Cunningham watched while the other man
placed the explosive. The accomplish
escaped before the fuse was burned. Three
men effected the Westminster explosions,
two of whom, in female attire, carried the
explosives in their hoop-skirts. All three
escaped. The attempt to blow up the
Albert memorial failed, owing to the
closure of the gates. The package of
dynamite is probably still in the SER
pentine.
