The Massachusetts, House of Representa-
tiyes has passed to its first reading the To-
bin, bill which exempts honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors from civil service ex-
animation. The most notable feature of the
debate was strong speech in opposition by
veteran, who said the soldiers did not want
the bill. They wanted to stand on their
record and on their merits simply. Those
who are asking for the bill, he said are
''bummers, men who were always at the
rear, coffee coolers, who thought they ought
tc be major generals" The bill, if it becomes
a law. will virtually annul the civil service
legislation Of the State.

The chances of the success of the home
rule bill in this Parliament are evidently on
the wane. A little while ago they seemed to
be improving, but for some reason, 1t is
hard to tell what, the tide is just now setting
strongly against it. Mr.. Gladstone'S last
speech awakened little enthusiasm among
the Liberals. Almost all the cheers came
from the Parnellites and from them alone.

since the withdrawal of the foreign FIRE
underwriters from that State, four stock
companies having an aggregate capital Of
$685., eco, twelve State and two town mutuals
have been organized; making in all five
stock companies with a total capital of
$1,o25000, fifteen State and nineteen town
mutual. The commissioner says he has
not changed his mind in the least in regard
TO the valued policy law He still regards it
as an exceedingly unwise measure, and be-

1t appears from the returns of the foreign
commerce of New York for the month Of
April that the total valuation of all kinds of
merchandise exported was considerably less
than that of all merchandise imported. As
compared with the same month Of last year
the importations show an increase of about
100000; while the exports of merchan-

There is one encouraging feature, however,

SATISFACTORY ALL ROUND.
National Republican.


The present strike for eight hours bring to
mind an incident which occurred some years
ago in the inception of the eight-hour move
mandant of the navy yard. The bill making
yards and navy yards had passed both houses
of Congress. The morning after its passage
a committee of the navy yard employees wait
ed upon Admiral Smith and said: ''Admiral,
hereafter we will work eight hours day."

id glad to hear it. You have never done

THE RIVER AND HARDoR BILL.
Brooklyn Eagle.
Our Southern brethren want good deal of
money for the improvement of their rivers
and harbors. Many of them are in bad con-
ditiOn and sadly need improving. The people
of the South are more dependent on their
water ways than the people OF the North
The money spent in increasing their trade Ia
cilities would inure to the advantage OF all
sections by stimulating commercial inter
course with them. These are matters wor-
thy of consideration, but the bill just passed
by the House of Representatives is not
worthy bill. 1t is the product of a congeries
of bargains by which necessary appropria-
tions are Jumped with extrayagant and use
less ones The chances are that the Presi-
dent will veto it and all future bills like it.
Therefore, If Southern Representatives are
wise they will advocate the proposed Con-
stitutional amendment giving the President
the power to select such items of an appro-
priation bill as meet his approval and reject
the Others.

We quarantine all our ports against the
importation of infectious diseases, we pass
laws forbidding Chinese laborers to seek
homes in this country, we build prisons in
which to incarcerate those who have violat-
ed the law, while millions of dollars are sp-
less immigrants. And yet, year after wear
the very dregs of Europe continue to pour
into the United States, and in our vanity
and self sufficiency we proclaim that there
is still room in this great land for the out
casts of all nations. The stream has been
flowing in without barrier to impede its
progress, and the bloodshed in Chicago was
the first fruits of the evil seed borne hither
by the tide. The Socialists and dynamiters
