THE labor bureau at Washington has for
some time been engaged in a series of inves-
legations to determine the ''labor unit" In
other words II Is seeking TO ascertain the pre-
else cost of labor in the production OF the staple
articles OF manufacture. These investiga-
lions. the result of which will be embodied in
report TO congress, are now approaching
their end, and promise TO give accurate data
In matter OF so much interest and impor-
lance. The report Is to embrace merely the
facts, and differences from this mass of re-
liable statistics will be left to him who reads.
The publication of this body of authentic facts
cannot fail TO be of great value to manufac-
turers and laborers, for 1t will show the rela-
tive needs of the various branches of manu-
facture and enable the-intelligent laborer TO
direct his efforts to the most profitable end.
Any unimpeachable, bipartisan collection of
facts in this regard must, moreover, contrib
ute TO a wise and prudent treatment of the
labor question-that vital problem upon the
proper and just solution of which the pros
perity of every land depends.

THE AXE WITHHELD.
Cleveland Calls a Halt ON Remov,


WASHINGTON, July 13.-The Evening
Star gives prominence to the following:
The president called halt 4 little over
week ago. The order went out to all the
departments that all diSmiSSals andappOint-
mentS to fill places not vacant must stop at
once, A week ago stop was put to all
the work in the appointment division of the
treasury department, and the appointment
clerk was told that no more commissions
were to be made out or papers con-
Sidered until further orders, and a
lot Of changes that were contemplated
by him were killed in their conception.
Commissioner of Pensions Black was sent
for personally by the president and was
given TO understand that the offensive parti-
SanShip cry had become too indefinite in its
meaning. and that no more changes in his
official force were to be made until there
was thorough understanding on the sub
ject on the part of the president. The re-
suit was that the orders for a number of
changes in the pension Office were counter
manded and everything put at a stand
still. The president, it is understood. then
had the understanding with the head of
the pOstOfiice and other departments, de-
claring his policy 10 be to stand by the civil
service reform declarations in his letters to-
Curtis and in his address on the 4th of
March. Removal for cause" he held to
mean that, and not removal with excuses.
The result is that the axe has been sunk in
the block for the past week and is still
there How far the thing is to 20 can be
merely sumiSed, but it is believed that the

not intend that his declaration shall be

nIDS.T nOIT

The president should be cautious. Fish
ing on Sunday may be peculiarly Ameri-
can, but public sentiment is divided on the
subject. As long as Mr.. CLEVELAND was
private citizen at Buffalo il was nobOdy's
business what he did on Sunday. but when
he came TO be president of the United
States his position made him a conspicuous
model of propriety, and it would be bold
movement on his part to make what would
virtually be an official announcement that
fishing on Sunday was allowable. That he
will be condemned by large class of re-
spectacle people will go without saying.
Thatit is really a mOOted question in the
minds of others whether he has not made a
severe strain on the forms of constitutional
government is almost certain. That i'm the
estimation of a few he is regarded as hay-
ing made "a covenant with death, a league
with he'll" is most probable. So
it is the president can see where he is
drifting with his lax notions of Sabbath OBJ
servance. Some of his friends will doubt
less attempt to plead in extenuatiOn the
fact that he didn't catch any fish. Others
will claim that he was misled by Secretary
BAYARD, who is reputed TO have a weak
ness for piScatorial sports. while the Re
publicans will unite in ascribing the whole
trouble to that horrid man. HIGGINS. We
are inclined to think, however. that there
is a mistake about the whole matter.
Without knowing the facts we are willing
to assert in defense of the president that he
didn't go fishing at all. He merely sought
a sylvan retreat on the banks of the upper
Potomac where he could enjoy days rest.
The heat of a Washington summer and the
worry of official life would weary the
strongest man. The president is a man OF
stout physique, but there are some things
he can't stand. And it is unllind TO accuse
him of Sabbath dissertation when he was
only seeking to recuperate the physical
powers which are essential to perfect dis
charge of his official duties.

More About shipments Via Canadn.

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Assistant Sec
rotary Fairchild sent the following dispatch
to the collector of customs at Port Huron
Saturday evening: The department issued
no instructions about the Canadian vessel,
United Empire, sailing from Duluth to
Port SaTnia, Canada. None were neces-
Sary. The domestic cargo will be entitled
to free entry on returning to
the United States port under arti-
Gle S13, regulations. An identical letter
was sent to-day TO the collector of customs
at Port Huron, Buffalo and Suspension
Bridge, informing them that merchandise
shipped from the St. Clair river and then
loaded on cars and transported through
Canada was To be treated as having been
sent by an all-rail route in spite of the fer
riage. Transportation by all-rail routes
is not affected by the present treasury cir
cular. In regard to the reported refusal of
collectors of customs to clear Canadian
vessels from American ports with
American grain, treasury officials say there
is no authority for Sany such refusal. The
recent treasury circular does not affect the
conduct of collectors at ports OF exit at all.
Ii only gives instructions to collectors at
ports where the merchandise is Te-entered,
and its effect upon them has already been
explained in the GLOBE, the Washington
dispatches of Friday and the departments

ing the information.
