"REFORND ILLUSTRATED.

When Mr.. Hedden was appointed, there were
some Democrats and many Independents who
even then refused to believe that such a selec-
ton was proof of deliberate surrender by the
President to the baser elements of his party.
People of sense saw that the appointment was
intended to prostitute the public service here
to the uses of the party generally and of Hubert
o. Thompson in particular. But the profess
sional reformers still advertised their own in
sincerity by pretending that Hedden was
selected because he was business mana
cheat so shallow and thin that no politician of
ordinary sense would have resorted to it. The
Evening Post illustrated its own dishonesty
by saying that the changes in the Custom
House would raise the whole service to the
level of honest business methods; that MIR.
Hedden would q administer the Custom House
on reform principles" and that these appoint
ments were the greatest victory yet achieved
for the cause of Civil Service reform" 1t re-
fused to see that such appointments brought
the very name of reform into unuterable con-
tempt. But now even the wall-eyed Post sees
the meaning and the effect, and denounces
these selections. Mr.. Hedden, of course, after
his kind, resorts to SANDER TO cover up his
prostitution of the public service. Being n
fraud himself, appointed nominally as a bust
ness man though really tool Of Hubert o..
Thompson, he may be expected TO prefer
fraudulent methods. After admitting that
there were no complaints to make against Mr..
Bacon, who was a model officer he now tries
to steal the character Of worthy man in order
to shield his own disregard of public interests
This is the meanest thing the Administra-
ton could do, and is more likely than any other
to rouse the resistance of Republican Senate.
But what is to be expected of n President who
selects such man as Hedden, at the bidding
of the unscrupulous politician who secured Mr.
Cleveland's nomination and election by methods
which will not bear discussion Such a Presi-
dent is not the man TO check Mr.. Hedden in ex-
ecuting the plans of the two bosses, Thompson
and Mclaughlin. Indeed, this is the greatest
victory of Civil Service REFORM the rule of the
most INSCRIPTIONS bosses and audacious
political tricksters yet known! Long ago,
real reformers have seen that they would make
themselves contemplate by defending an Adj
ministration of which such things are the
fruitage.
The Eceniag Post wants to know who owns
Beattien and "who the real Collector is"
This is q puerile affectation of ignorance
Everybody else has known, ever. since the ap-
pointments which The Post so dishonesty COM
mended as the greatest victory Of REFORM"
Even The Times Is now able to sneer at The
Posts false prctences, and one must have fallen

pnst twenty years. But in Great Britain, ana
even more in Germany, in France and other
countries of Europe, the consumption mas
undoubtedly varied much more widely, though,
in the present state of statistical knowledge, IL
is impossible to say how great the variation mas
been. Il is known that the present coDdltion
Of industries abroad is by No means such as TO
warrant tho expectation that the consumption
of wheat will reach the average; on the con-
trary, it is likely in such year as this to fall
mach below that average. If the difference
should be only as great as it actually has been
ia this country, and it is likely TO be very much
greater this variation in the consumption
would of itself exceed 50,000,000 bushels for
the Continent of Europe. IL can only be ln-
ferred that the state of foreign markets
expresses the best judgment Of dealers abroad
as to the present and prospective demand in
connection with what is known to them or the
probable supply, and their opportunities OF
knowing the probable supply arc at least as
great as those enjoyed by any dealers on this
side of the ocean, while their means OF estl-
mating the probable consumption and the con-
seqdent demand are evidently altOgethe T

IN IMPORTANT DUTY.

THE TRIBUNE lately took occasion 10 urge
its political frieIds throughout the state 10
look to the Legislature. We called attention
to clearly revealed public sentiment demand
ing that the quality of the Serate and the AS
semblv should be improved, and we presented
the leading considerations out of which the de-
nond grew. The comments which the article
In question has elected from the Republican
press of the interior are well calculated to en-
courage every citizen who is interested in the
improvement of the public service. For they
show that there is general determination
among Republicans to respond to the best ex-
pectations-to take heed 10 this aroused pnblc
sentiment that insists upOn worther ana
weightier class of Lawmakers.
And now that the Republican State Conven-
ton is nigh at hand, THE TRIBUNE begs leave
to make another suggestion to those who are to
be members of that body and TO the constitu-
encies behind them. LOok TO the State Commit
tee. The importance of selecting capable, OK
perienced and trustworthy men to direct and
supervise the campaign is self-evideDt. Never
theless. as we all know, the committees OF the
past were lot invariably as efficient at all
points as they might have been. Let no mis-
take be made this year, when there is so much
at stake Let the candidates have the services
of a committee which will command the con-
fdence of the party in all the counties. Let it
be made up OF men who are familiar not only
with the politics of their own section but OF the
entire State,-men whose discretion will equal
their zeal, men who can give the necessary time
to the work, men of cool Judgment and ac-
knowledged sagacity, men who will know what
is to be done to organize victory and how to do
il. Such a committee will be worth thousands
of votes to the State and local tickets.
Our opponents will make desperate fight to
retain the control of public affairs in this the
first year of the Democratic National festora-
ton. Their canvass is certain to be managed
with great energy and with great skill, and
they will have the advantage which the " ins
always have over the "outs' But il the Re
publicans make good use of their opportunities
there is nothing to fear. All signs point to
the nomination at Saratoga of an excellent and
popular ticket. If that ticket is placed on a
sound platform and committed into the hands
of committee which is equal to the duties that
will devolve upon it, it will be entiiely safe to
count upon Republic an victory in November.

PEFORUJYG TIE CHINESE.


The Chinese of San Francisco, according to the
reports OF those VINO have inye ,tigated their con
dtion arc as yet on the lowest plane of morality.
Tno local authorities however are engaged in an
effort in which the police court judges assist to
raise tho Monyolian part of the population to a con-
dtion of morality that will pat to shame the white
popull alton of most OF the Western cities By the
fatherly care of the city legislators certain regua-
tions for the good behavior Of the Cinnamon are
provided, which while they incidentally benefit
the city treasury are also influential as incentives
to virtue.
The record of one days proceedings in single
police court in San Francisco shows that hlteen
Cinnamon were arraigned together for visiting a
gambling house. Eight OF them wcro fined $50
each. and the seven Others, not having the money
necessary to pay iaos, were committed to jail for
twenty days oach II ia not known that Cancl-
sian visitors TO gambling houses in san Francisco

SINE time lino1 $40 only probably lest he might

Two other Chinese visitors to gambling honse
were also fined $40 each Four yiolators OF pure

no money were sent to Jail for ten days. Two laun

The methods which the California legislators FIRST
tried. of forbdding corporations from employing

the laundry business have failed, rs the courts de
clared the laws unconstitutional. The present plan
OF annoying tho hcathcn " by many petty restric-
tions and constant timing Is acceptable 70 the tax

a race of yirtuous Cinnamon. Shareholders used to

which Mr.. Hedden should have attempted In

Il is to be hoped that Vice Commodore Douglas
will not permit the Genesta to return to her English
home without attempting to match the iron sloop

shown himself to- be ready rival and he will
doubtless be willing 10 enter upon such n contest
II is said that Sir Richard does not regard the Pur-
tan as a typical American sloop, and is unwilling to
concede that the Boston boats victories constitute
n fair settlement of the controversy concerning the
comparative merits of the sloop and the cutter. lie
can make no such plea with regard TO tho Priscilla,
and as she is universally recognized as superior
vessel entirely worthy of such foe as the Genrsa
an opportunity should be given the public OF view
