tration to satisfy our Republican
friends. The bare hint that Demo.
crat is going to succeed Republican in
Office starts them straightway Off to
hunt up copy of that law which is so
o;,bnoxious to Senator Vance and the
runajority of the Democratic party; and
Cthen thes~proceed with a grand flourish
u -dcraw 1t on the appointing power.
They go even further. For instance,
there is Commissioner Black, who has
been able to appoint few Democrats
to places in the Pension Office. These
Democrats had passed the civil service
examination and were certified to him
for selection along with some Republi-
cans who had also passed through the
annex to the Agricultural Bureau. In
stead of picking out Republicans, how
ever, General Black had the tenacity to
actually choose Democrats, and now the
Republicans are diligently endeavoring
TO make 1t uncomfortably warm for the
Commissioner. If anybody else has a
desire to possess the earth, we warn
them off. Our esteemed Republican
friends have already filed an application
for that planet and will soon begin to
build fence around it..
THERE is broad smile on the Wis.

WASHINGTON. APRIL 1, 1885,
THE o,NEILL LABOR BILL.

In reporting his labor arbitration BILL
yesterday, Mr.. O'Ncill stated that for
two months the committee had been
engaged in exploring every avenue
from which there was reasonable hope
of securing information on which to
base the desired legislation, so as to
make It effective in the speedy settle
ment of differences between common
carriers and their employees. 1t was
the best bill, he thought, which could
be formulated, and THE CRITIC agrees
with Mr.. O'Neill that to the extent of its
practicabiitv--a point that can only be
determined by the test OF application
the bill is meritorious.
As was to be expected. however, the
doctors disagree. In the debate which
followed the introduction of the bill,
many unique metaphors were em-
ployed to illustrate the opinions Of
Members. Judge Kelley said that
while he would vote for the bill he
wanted to say in advance to the WORK
ingmen of the country that it was "a
trick on their credulity and fran l."
Mr.. Foran said that he was no more
opposed to the bill than he was to
drinking glass of water. 1t could
"injure no one, but ii could accomplish
no good" Mr.. Hammond character.
lied it as "a milk poultice to the bite
of rattlesnake." Mr.. Daniel thought
it would be "as well to attempt to cure
heart disease by putting n piece of
black sticking plaster on the top of a
aid head" as to attempt to remedy
n troubles by the passage of the
hoNIr. Glover said it could not allay
WESTON Of things in the south
Sapaci' Salm more than a cup of water
sprirut out contlagration. Mr..
qnn was of the opinion that no bill
.aling with the subject of labor should
pass, because it would be taking the
matter from the tribunals in which 1t
belongs. The question of labor he re-
garded in the same light as distin-
guished Democrat regarded the tariff.
1t was local issue.
But criticism and objection amour,
TO nothing, unless accompanied by a
better bill, and this we have not yet
seen. Congress must either do some
thing or confess itself inadequate to do
anything. So far as voluntary arbitra
tion is concerned, the O'Neill bill is
undoubtedly as good as any that can bC
devised. 1t may become necessary to
adopt the compulsory method proposed
by Mr.. Glover, but it must be born in
mind that the nearer we approach com
pulsion the further we depart from the
principle Of arbitration. Mr.. O'Neil
is certainly entitled to commentator
for the care he has bestowed upon this
question. He has made a start which
Muever has been made before, and in
spite of all captious opposition will bC
supported by many of the best men in
the House in an honest effort to perfect
some measure which shall answer the
purpose intended.

The tides as given above are all in
daylight, and show what water will be
on the bar above the level Of mean low
tides in hours when vessels would en-
ter the harbor.
Taking the tides as shown above we
can determine what ships could enter
the harbor with ths improvements COM
pleted.
The British ship Holt Hill, now at
San Pedro, is 244I tons net register and
brought $500 tons of coal from Sydney.
Her draught on arrival was twenty
sone feet, and decreased one foot for 900
tons of cargo disch lrged.
With 2700 tons OF cargo her draught
would not exceed nineteen feet, and
with the depth of water on the bar that
would be found at high tides with the
improvements completed there would
not be fifty days in the year that such a
chip could not enter the haibor with
2700 tons OF cargo, and with 240O tons
OF cargo her draught is only eighteen
feet, which is one foot less than the
water that would be on the bar at low
est high tides.
Iron ships Of about 1000 tons net reg
later curry about l400 tons of cargo and
their draught when loaded is nineteen to
twenty feet.
The question now is when can the i'm.
proyement OF the harbor be completedl
The anawer must be given by Con-
gress.
The cost of the improvements to the
first day Of November, 1885, when the
last work was done. has been about
100000.
