present status of Civil Service reform, without
repeating the frankness of the Newport speech,
the results Of which seem to have frightened

Governor Hill deserves praise for signing
the bill providing for police matrons. That
women who get arrested should be locked up
in the same stations with men and should be

Is not consonant with the finer instincts of

Mr. Blaine was sure to be nominated by ac-
clamation and equally sure, we think, OF an
election. Even after the Florence letter it was
so obviously the overwhelming desire OF he
publcans everywhere to make him the candl-
date in spite of himself, that of late there has
been little doubt among either friends or foes
that the nomination would still be rendered

the probabilities are that lit willy the exercises
that be ,ng to Decoration Day and make it
what it has been for more than twenty years
will be conducted on larger and more i'm
pressive scale than heretofore. But besides
these, this holiday in one sense marks the
opening of the season for outdoor sports, al
though racing and baseball have been going
on for some time In addition to these sports,
of which there is to be an abundance, to-day
will witness yachting, rowing cricket and
