In vetoing the measure known as the
Tobin bill, Governor Robinson has thwarted
a movement which greatly resembled an
effort to destroy piecemeal the civil service
system of Massachusetts. The title of the
bill explained its purpose: SAN act giving
preference in appointments to Office to
honorably discharged soldiers and sailors,
without civil service examinations" Osten-
sibly introduced as a measure dictated by
sentiments of gratitude to the veterans, its
effect was really to deal at civil service re-
form blow much desired by machine poll
ticians. It was carried through the General
Court by the united votes of ardent spoils-
men, and others who honestly thought that
they were doing a service to the soldiers in
overturning the wise and salutary system
built up by the civil service laws of the
State. In his veto message Governor Robin
son discusses the bill at length. He first
bears witness to the excellence of the civil
service system as regulated by the present
laws. Men of both political parties, he says,
have borne witness to its efficiency. No in
justice is done the veterans Statistics of
the service show that it has offered sure en-
ployment to large numbers of that class. On
the other hand so loosely was the Tobin bill
drawn that Governor Robinson was forced
to the conclusion that, instead of comforting
a benefit upon the real veteran, it would be
an instrument of wrong to him in the hands
of INSCRIPTIONS and dishonest men,"

REMARKABLE DISCOVERIES.

The Hallowell correspondent of the Argus
has telegraphed to that paper an account Of
some remarkable discoveries. He has found
that the principal industry of Hallowell is
the manufacture of granite, and that the
Republican candidate for Governor is the
manager of the great enterprise which has
promoted thrift and happiness among the
thirty-fye hundred people of the little city.
That a candidate for Governor should have
ANYTHING to do with such an enterprise this
sagacious correspondent regards with grave
disapprobation, especially since it has been
necessary for the management of the granite
works to discharge few men for whom
there was no work. 1t has also been discoY-
cred that the Bodwell Company has borne
half the expense of repairing one of the
streets of the city, thus interfering unwar-
rantably with the rights of Hallowell to
mend her own ways and pay for the same
The industry that has ferreted out the story
of such high-handed doings should certainly
be commended; but these are tritfes by the
side of one all-important discovery MI.
Bodwell," so this correspondent goes on,
'claims to be the friend of American labor,
but it is asserted that he has some thirty
Italians in his employ, and prefers to keep
them instead of home labor" In his other
Investigations this explorer seems to have
been most painstaking; it is a pity
that he should have relaxed his eff

and dashing the salt spray across the whole

often described by drowning men, while our

While we waited for the others, the steam

full of boys singing Justify. A little chap,
not more than seven years old, managed the
oars, while his sire stood on the PROV of his
