Notes and Opinions.

THAT the democratic press of the
country is eXhausting its store of invec-
tive in denouncing the recent speech
of Senator John Sherman, is an indica-
ton that the blows of the senator were
telling ones Trareller.
IT is likely that the troubles over the
ejectment of the cattlemen from the
Indian Territory will yet become the
subject of extended litigation. Many
of the sufferers by the Presidents or

intention is to push the matter into the
courts.

REPUBLICAN platforms this year are
giving the democrats and mugwumps a
good deal of concern. There is moth
ing in them that they approve, but they
do find plenty of planks that make them
as excited as a nest of hornets stirred
up by mischievous boy. They would
like to frame platforms, no doubt, for
the republicans as well as themselves,
but the former need no suggestions
from them, and will go right on pre-
sentng live issues to the voters

AN investigation shows that of the
total number of presidential postoifices,
1882, President Cleveland has appointed
524, and that of the As, 42l fourth-cass
offices, $500 have been changed since
the 4th of March. These figures show
that one-fourth of the former and over
one-eighth of the latter class have been
changed. a further examination shows
that the changes have been greatest in
those states in which elections are to be
held this fall, or in which the admins
tration is most Interested
THE Chicago socialists, who inscribed
on their banners sour children cry

hundred kegs of beer at picnic, have
been confronted with public offer by
a gentleman in that city which ought
to make them hang their heads in

the times are, propose to take the con-
tract of paying the food bills, rent bills
and clothing bills of all the socialists in
Chicago, for themselves and their
families, if they will place in my hands
the money they spend for rum and
tobacco"

Interesting Statistics.

The annual report, just issued, of the
Massachusetts bureau of statistics pre-
sents some interesting and instructive
figures, which are worthy of general at
tention. An important feature of the
report is an historical review of wages
and prices from 1852 to 1860; and tables
of comparative wages and prices in
Massachusetts and Great Britain COW
ering the period from 1860 to 1888. In
comparing the wages of the periods
ending respectively with 1880 and with
1860, a general percentage of increase is
found, varying from 9,S per cent with
metal-workers to 1919 per cent with
glass-makers. Agricultural laborers
have had their wages increased 25.S
per cent, cotton mill operatives 1913
per cent, laborers 22.5 per cent, shoe
makers GOA per cent, wooden goods
makers 1916 per cent. Wooden mill
operatives have had a decrease of II
per cent, the only decrease given in
the table. In the prices of articles of
household consumption, it is found that
agricultural products advanced 62.S per
cent, burning oils and fluids advanced
20 per cent, candles and soap advanced
42.5 per cent, dairy products advanced
1873 per cent, fish advanced 9.S per
cent, flour and meal advanced 26 per
cent, fuel (wood only advanced 55.4
per cent, meats, etc. turkey added
advanced SO per cent, boots and shoes
declined 1873 per cent, clothing and
dress goods declined 24.7 per cent,
dry goods declined 1919 per cent, food
preparations Craisins added) declined

der which term is included, as has been
noticed, certain staple groceries, have
declined, while flour, fish and meats
have risen in price. Though the gen.
eral average of increase in prices of the
necessaries of life is 1871 per cent, the
average increase of wages, in the same
period, in twenty leading occupations,
is 1913 per cent, which shows that there
has been vast improvement in the
condition of workingmen in respect to
wages. The report notes that the
household comforts and conveniences
possessed by the workingmen of to-day
are far in advance of what they enjoyed
fifty years ago. The report also dis
poses of the fallacy that the multiplied
ton and perfection of labor-saving ma
chinery works injury to the interests of
labor by showing how it has increased
the productive capacity and wages of
the workman and created new indus
tries.
The report contains some novel infor-
nation. A comparison is made between
the condition of female graduates of
colleges and co-educational institutions
in Massachusetts with that of working
girls in Boston, in respect to health.
1t is shown that while 96 of the 705
graduates suffered an appreciable de-
terioration of health during college life,
indicating loss of health for 1862 per
cent of the whole number, 1900 per
cent of the working-girls show similar
loss during working time, which is a
difference of 2.47 per cent in favor OF
the colleges. The question of Sunday
labor is treated at some length, in re.
lation to its causes, the extent to which
il is carried, the effect upon the persons
engaged in it. The report combats the
prevalent idea that labor on Sunday
was primarily undertaken for gain, but
that it was in nearly every instance 6
concession to a public demand; anC
that, with the exception of the two mill
trains on eastern roads and excursion
trains on a beach road, the origin Of
Sunday trains was the requirement o.
church-goers to be carried to and from
religious services. In conclusion OF
this subject, the report says:
"The sheer will Of man, actuated by n,
constraint of nature nor through the selisl
motive of profit, but only for what is con
sidered as some human convenience, cause
all, or nearly all, the Sunday labor in Mas
sachusetts; that all wealth and true economi
welfare that man now has with Sunday la
Dor he could easily have without it if h
set his mind in that direction, and that TIL
safety of society, as such safety is repre-
scented in the intelligence, in the moralit
and the integrity of the great body of work
ers, depends not upon turning Sunday int
day of recreation, but in providing sue
means for recreation and rest during tn
working days of the week, when Sunda
shall become day of rest in the highes
sense

Fair-Trade and Free Trade.

A contemporary says: Our Brit
ish cousins, who have flown the free
trade flag so CALAMITY, seem beginning
to enjoy the sight of its colors some
what less than of yore. The compe-
tition of United States grain and
beef, owing largely to cheaper trans
portation, and of cereals from India, is
forcing farmers to the wall. Rents
have fallen disastrously. And, even
with rents depressed, tenants are in
dire extremity. Some call for protec-
tive duties, some for revival of the
corn laws, and royal commission on
the depression of business in England
has been appointed by parliament to
look into the Natter The Christian
Union, which breaches the doctrine of
free trade, says if the conservative
party of England should establish this
" fair-trade," the farmers of America
would find themselves treated as we
treat the workingmen of Manchester
and Birmingham. This is candid ad.
mission that " Protection does protect y
though it is strenuously maintained by
most free-trade journals that the pro-
tective policy has failed of its purpose
What is called the " fair-trade doc,
trine" proposes that England should
receive free from custom duties only
the products of those countries which
reciprocate and receive her products
free from custom duties. 1t looks as
though England had more to lose than
to gain by adopting this policy, and that
she would suffer far more from its effects
than the United States. But if she
should substitute fair-trade for free
trade, the American advocates of the
latter system would be put in great dis
tress to demonstrate why the people Of
this country should adopt policy tina
had proved failure in Great Britain.
The fair-trade "policy has an increas
ing number of advocates in England
and it is expected that the royal com
mission to inquire into the causes
and cure of the business depression il
that country, will discuss the merits o
the new doctrine in its report.

and their work in its behalf. 1t has
placed them in the front of every fight,
and it has not forgotten them when
distributing the prizes of victory. A
large proportion of the important
offices in the state and the several coun-
ties are filed by young men. Their
claims are recognized in every con-
vention that is held, and their in
fluence is felt in every gathering of re-
publicans. In the late convention the
young men were active workers and
the real leaders of its forces.-Io,Ca

THE Manchester Union (democraD
gets facetious over the increasing
changes in the postofiices. Itgoes on to
say: "The serial story furnished by the
postmaster-general, which is appearing
at short intervals in the Union, will
probably be read by more people than
any of the plate stories by popular au-
thOrs which are so common Just now.
The chapters are short but of thrilling
interest, and, contrary to the rule that
usually obtains, the more numerous the
characters introduced the greater the
popularity of the story. Taken as a
whole, it is one of the cleverest attempts
at depicting the ms and outs of official
life that has been made for a good many
years, and the author may congratulate
himself on having made a decided hit.
The serial will be continued through
the fall months"
THE Boston Adrertiser, which helped
to elect Cleveland, is beginning to es-
innate the reform professions of the
democratic party at their true value.
1t says: The democratic party has
given no evidence, since its accession
to power. that it has abandoned, or
that it intends to abandon, its belief in
the doctrine that the offices are spoils
which belong to the victors. 1t is in
favor of honest civil service reform
and of improved methods of admins
tration > but its first and last step to Sc
cure the one and enforce the other is
to put good democrats into the offices.
The active members of the party are
angry and impatient under the restric-
tons of the reform act, and it is not
probable that ten democratic votes
could be obtained in congress to extend
its provisions. AS for the other offices
they want them, and mean to have
them, if they can be secured, and they
are not mealy-mouthed in saying so in
private conversation, or, many times
in public speeches.

REPRESENTATIVE physicians and
officials of the different railroads CEN
tering in Montreal held meeting, last
week, and took measures to advise the
Dominion government of the immedi-
ate necessity of compelling the civic
authorities of the city to abate the
smallpox scourge, and also to notify
the mayor and board of health that I'M
less such action was taken the city
would be cut off from all railroad com
munication with the states of Vermont,
New Hampshire, Maine and Michigan.
1t is probable that this action will
stimulate the city authorities to do the
best they can to abate the plague. The
Montreal Gazette reports that it is di-
mnishing, and that sanitary science,
allied to public spirit, has achieved
much of this result. The disease has
appeared in few places outside the
city, but is not raging to a serious
extent.

The Laws Delays.

in no other country are the methods of
procedure more tedious and the delays
more frequent and aggrayating than in
the United States. The report of the
committee appointed to investigate the
matter sums up the causes of the delay
and uncertainty of legal procedure as

ciary, pro coordination, retrials, UNI

trials before courts, closer adherence to
the precise issue, less irrelevant and
redundant testimony, fewer debates
and no personal alteration; no post
ponement of trials because of engage
ment of counsel elsewhere; the restric-
ton of new trials to cases where it is
apparent that injustice' has been done;
q time limit in trials before referees;
greater care in the appointment or
election of judges; the reduction of
the law itself, so far as is possible, to
the form of statute; and the annual
publication of statistics of litigation in
both the federal and state courts, in
order that the people may know what
business has been done and what is
waiting to be done. In conclusion, the
committee confess that most of the
blame for the delay and uncertainty rests
upon the profession, whether on the
bench or at the bar" and closes its
report as follows: we are host in
numbers; we have influence, direct
and indirect, greater than that of any
other profession or class of men in the
country; we are part and parcel of
the judicial establishment; we know
best the laws of the land as they are,
and we should know best what they
ought to be; we can make ourselves
heard and needed in every legislative
hall, in every executive chamber and
on every bench of justice; and we have
given pledges, not less binding because
not expressed in words, that the func-
tions with which the state has endowed

THE growing antipathy of the de-
mocracy to the civil service law is OBJ
servable everywhere. A suit to test
the constitutionality of the law has been
begun in the United States circuit
court, on the petition of j. A. Hinck-
ley, who is one of the editors of the
New York Graphic. The petition urges
that the civil service commissioners are
divesting the president of the duties
and responsibilities vested in him by
the Constitution; and quo Uorranto
order has been granted, requiring the
commissioners to answer by what right
they claim to exercise the powers they
have assumed.

AN inhuman outrage has been COM
mitted upon Cinnamon in Wyoming.
A large number of Chinese had been
employed in place of white men in the
large coal mines at Rock Springs, when
the white miners made an assault upon
the Cinnamon, with fatal effect. Dur
ing the riot thirty of the Chinese were
killed, and thirty-nine houses owned
by the company were destroyed. While
the displacement of the white miners
may have been an act of injustice
there can be no excuse whatever for
their barbarous treatment of the help

outrage should be severely punished.

THE Californian laments what it calls
the unfortunate utterance of Senator
Sherman on the suffrage question in
the South 1t seems hard for " indie
pendent" journals like the Coledonian
to understand that the question of
honest elections and equal political
rights is not war issue. 1t will, how
ever, be a disturbing element in
national politics so long as the southern
bourbons refuse to observe the consti-
tutional guarantees of equal political
rights to all citizens, of whatever race
or color. They themselves are the ones
who are keeping alive the sectional
issue. In his first speech in the
pending canvass in Ohio, Hon. j. B.
Foraker, republican candidate for gov
ernor, well said: "In order that there
may be absolute friendship between
the people of the North and the people
of the South, it is not asked by the re-
publican party that the people of the
South should vote the republican ticket.
All we ask of them is that they will ac-
cord to every citizen that right to which
he is entitled under the Constitution
and the laws; that they will accord to
the colored man of the South the
same rights that they themselves enjoy
of voting as they please and having
their votes honestly counted. Until
these rights are accorded to all, it must
not be expected that we shall either
hold our peace or cease to seek a
remedy for such wrong"

WHETHER the New York San is
friendly to the administration or not, it
does well to criticise the order of the
treasury department requiring one
dollar and two-dollar bills to be sent to
Washington from the sub-treasury, so
that they may not be used for general
circulation This is done to oblige
people to make use of the silver dollar
instead of the small bills. The supply
of these bills in circulation is still ade-
quate, but unless the order is revoked
its effect will soon begin to be felt by
the public The Sun does not believe
that people want to carry silver dollars
about in their pockets for ordinary use,
or that they will bear the change with
patience. 1t thinks the administration
ought to consider what will be the po-
litical effect of depriving the people of
these small bills and forcing them to
use silver dollars.

SENATOR CULLOM of Illinois has

He is credited with saying that the adj

GERMANY and Spain are having some
trouble over the seizure by the former
power of the Caroline Islands, in the
Pacific, which are claimed by Spain.
On receipt of the news in Madrid that
the German war-ships had anticipated
the Spanish fleet in taking possession
of the Islands, a furious mob attacked
the German embassy, and the voice of
the liberal leaders is for war. The
ministry will probably attempt to settle
the trouble without adopting the liberal
advice of a declaration of war against
Germany, though it has declined to
submit the affair to arbitration.

TIE removal of Receiver Roberts at
st. Adams is called case of I" offensive
partisanship that is, he had made
himself particularly offensive to the di-
rectors of the ruined bank and strong
partisan of the interests of the deposit
ors. The real motive for his removal
is involved in some doubt, as reports
are conflicting, but the comptroller of
the currency ought to be able to ex-
plain tiff he will. The appointment
of Hon. G. w. Writers as receiver in
Mr.. Roberts place is criticised by some
of the papers, but as yet there is nc
reason to believe that he will not dis.
charge the duties of his trust with as
much of efficiency and fidelity as Mr.
Roberts has displayed No man should
be condemned before he has been tried
and found wanting.
