Civil service Appointments.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-A delegation
representing the Grand Army of the Re
public of the Department Of Pennsylvania,
and the Veteran Rights Union called on
President Cleveland, Secretary Manning
and Gen. Black, Commissioner of Pensions,
to-day, in the interest of the enforcement
of the laws relating TO the appointment
and retention of ex-soldiers IN the civil
service of the United States.
in their interview with the President,
the delegation asked that the law giving
preference to ex-Union soldiers shall be en-
forced wherever removals are made, and
that whenever reductions of force are made
the law of l-s6, which provides that IN
the making OF any reduction OF force IN
any department reasons may be gwen.
The President in reply assured the dele
CATION that he desired to do all that can be
done for old soldiers that as President Il
was his duty 10 see all the laws of the
United States enforced, and that he recog-
nizes the claims of the old soldiers on the
government, but, he said, it was impossible
10 give his attention to individual cases.
allow them the privilege OF laying before
him by letter OF otherwise, violations OF
the law in question which shall come under
their notice. And they asked further, that
when such cases are brought 10 his atten.
ton that he give them immediate atten-
/ tion.
The President cordially assented to these
requests. and said he would be glad at any
/ M.
/ them and would give them proper atten-
tion.
/ The delegation then called on Col La
mont, the Presidents private Secretary, and
informed him of what had been said at
the interview with President, and obtain
/ ed from him the assurance that he would
promptly lay before the President any
I communication from them.
The delegation saw Secretary Manning
and called his attention to the laws to
which they had directed the Presidents ;
attention They also called attention espe-
cially to the removal of the Assistant Gus
todian of the Philadelphia postoffice build
ing. an ex-soldier and the appointment OF
a civilian'to succeed him.
Secretary Manning, in reply, said that
the department would respect the laws in
\ question:. anu tldt ,p8ili VI thon, Aa'N
met his hearty approval, but, he said eX-
Union soldiers who had been Extensively
partisan should not expect to he retained
in office, and that they took their chances
in the last Presidential election.
The delegation replied that they realized
this fact, but they asked that in filling va
cancies created by such removals that pref
erences be given to ex-Union soldiers oyeI
civilians.
Mr. Manning gave his cordial assent t'
this proposition, bat added that there ar
great many discharged soldiers and sail
ors who have never been recognized in th'
distribution of osices in the last twenty
years, men who are Democrats, and who
although ex-soldiers and ex-sailors, sOm'
of them bearing wounds received in de
fense of their country, have never got int

would be recognized by the department II

THE SILVER QUESTION.

The general consideration of this aues-
ton in the magazines, newspapers and /
in private conversation everywhere, leads /
to the hope that the public mind may
become enlightened ere long to the
wisest solution. As a country and Ter
ritOry that largely produces silver we are
naturally desirous not only of retaining
and extending Its use as coin but of pre-
serving a. near as may be its former rel
ative value to gold We see no reason
why any one in this country should wish
for any other result We do not believe
the commerce of the world can be sue
cesstully carried on without it. The
production of gold is not sufficient to
meet the growing demands of commerce
for metallic currency. For all subsidi-
airy coins silver is vastly more convent
ent than gold. 1t is indispensable.
Large commercial transactions will be
carried on through the medium of paper
even il gold is the only metallic currency.
But in the smaller transactions of daily
/ life, the world over silver i and always
will be the best and the most used. No
matter what the theory of the British
1 and German governments may be, silver
/ is more important even than gold for the
vast majority of the people of both OF
I those countries. Take the world togeth-
er there are millions who will use silver
where there are thousands who use gold.
No one wants to carry around very much
of either coin in his pockets and paper
currency based on coin will always bt
most convenient for large transactions.
The great thing to be considered i
how to arrive at the standard of com
parative values of the two metals. Ger
tainly one nation cannot fix that stand
ard. If all would do SO, or agree Il
abide by the decision of the majority. oi
agree to accept the standard when three
fourths or two-thirds of the principa
nations concurred, it would put this
question in the way of settlement
Hitherto all attempts 10 fix STANDARD
have failed because England and Ger
many refused TO become parties. Is TIN
: anv reason why all effort should cease
: We think not. If only those countrie
and nations friendly to the bimatalli
system would agree it would very sool
force the rest to yield. We could ge
America, Africa and Asia, besides Rus
sia. France and all of the South
Europe. such combination would de
eide the question.
If any action is taken by our govern
ment and the next Congress to suspen
the further coinage of silver il shoul
only be for the temporary purpose Q

A BIG BLAZE.
Property Valued AT sl,5OO,OO0 De-
stroyed.

NrN YORK. May 27.-The vast furniture
factory of Herman Bros at Morgan and
Tbompkins streets, was discovered to be on
fire at $50 this morning. 1t Is five story
br;ck building, and occupies the whole
h,oct II was an old building, and was
occupied by the Singer Sewing Machine
factory. and was saturated with oil. The
building is surrounded by miserable tene-
oe,t houses. which was occupied by the
noorest classes in the city. The hre was
intensely hot. and nearly 100 families were
driven from their homes. They rushed
ON, in their night clothes and were COM
pelled TO camp on the river side, where
they shiyered in the chilly winds OF the
morning. At 1 o'clock the whole building
was in flames and there was no hope OF
saving any of the property, ana the hre-
men directed their efforts TO make the
miserable people as comfortable as possible
Ar i.3O an alarm was sent out Tor extra
engines and il looked rs though the whole
/ surrounding neighborhood would be de-
s,roved. At 5 O'Clock alarms were still
being sent out for extra engines. The fac
/ tory was filled with furniture, and the es-
timated loss amounts to more than u OOO,-
600. This is the busy season OF the year,
and the loss will be still heavier tor the
company. Over 800 workmen Will be
thrown out of work. The streets at o.JO
were crowded with people and the greatest
excitement prevailed in the neighborhoOdr
as everybody in the surrounding tenement
houses were moving furniture and seeking
to escape from the flames, which were
spreading fast in all directions. At $50
special calls for extra engines were being
sent out, and the estimated loss would
amount to 81 100000.
Though the entire available force OF the
fire department was summoned II was two
hours before the fire was fairly under con
troll. The factory is a total loss. Mr.. Herr
man estimates his loss on stock and build
ing at S55O,0O0, fully covered by insurance
Five hundred skilled workmen IN the lac
tory lose their tools, valued at s2O,OOO.

THE strikers on the Denver q Rio Grande
road. after conducting themselves very
moderately at the beginning OF their strike
ended up in the most dastaTdly outrage
conceivable, AN attempt to blow up tram
with dynamite. IL is a crime as enormous
and revolving as the attempt to blow up
London bridge OF the Parliament House in
England, and throws an odium on all the
parties engaged in the strike. We DO not
believe that all or raany bad any criminal
knowledge of the attempt, but they can
not escape the responsibility. There are
always IN ever snsh organization some
who carry out the principles Of such com
binations 80 conclusions that are unwa--
ranted and not anticipated The PittsDurg
and Cinci>nati riots ought 10 be
enough to, serve as warning ex-
ample for many generations. In
this land where labou IL 30 well
paid and is free to seek any field and make
any lawful and peaceful combinations, we
have as great exercises as are committed by
the pihilists of Russia or the communists
Of Paris. Instead of being less OF a crime,
il is greater in every respesty more un-
i.sstihable, and utterly inexcusabie.

IT is said that the prospects of wheat In
India are excellent, and the English think
they will be less dependent on American
wheat. AS we have prospect of short
crop and have an addition of million and
a half to our population every year, we are
likely to have much less to ship abroad.
1t is not by any means settled yet that
there will not be war in Afghanistan, and
in that event there will be no wheat 10

THE Paris Commane seems to.be just as

no patience with or countenanse for the

at all to the credit OF those who have man
aged the Republic. They have increased
rather than diminished the burdens OF the

been squandered on foolish foreign wars

conversation that sugar planting is bound
to break man sooner or later anyway

THE emulsion of the Russian Poles from
Germany at the request of Russia appears
10 he a brutal, wanton cruelty. There Is
no pretense that these 10000 Russian Poles
have been plotting sedition against Russia
or have given trouble TO the German
government. 1t is hard to see why Russia
should want them driven back under her
unwelcome rule after they have been I'M
poverished by being forced to abandon OF
sell at a sacrifice what little they had ac-
cumulated Does Russia want these Poles
for her armies in Asia, or to become un-
willing settlers in her distant Asiatic pos
sessions? There is no reason gwen ny
Germany for this cruel expulsion except
the request of Russia. Suppose England
should ask the United States to .expel all
the Irish from this country, and we should
he craven and cruel enough to undertake
to do it on thirty or sixty days notice. 1t
would be a parallel case in all respects
Language is not strong enough to express
the baseness and wanton cruelty involved
in this act. The Germans may sneer at
England for retiring discreditably from the
Pendieh controversy, but the act OF the
German government in perpetrating so
monstrous crime out of courtesy to Rus =
+ sia seems 10 US of deeper-dyed infamy
than any that has beiallen England. Why
not let these poor exiles come to America,
where they would give no more trouble to
either Germany or Russia? 1t is evident
enough that Russia wants still to rob and
oppress them further. She regards them as
merchandise, and having robbed them OF
their country she now seeks to rob them o.
their last hope of escape IRON imprison'
ment and slavery. So far as we can under
stand any of the controlling motives that
have actuated either Russia or Germany II
this matter, there is nothing more bar
baIous in any of the cruelties that dis
graced the governments OF the dark ages
