Platt on the Tariff.

WASHINGTON, February S.--senator
Plat spoke on the tariff on Monday. He
declared that either the president in his
message intended free trade, or else he
was not dealing fairly with the American
people. The method of reduction pro-
posed by the president meant an absolute
and final destruction of the protective
system. 1t meant practical and absolute
free trade, SO that the spirit and result of
the message led to the same conclusion.
Without finishing his speech Mr.. Platt
yielded for an executive session.

PUBLIC OFFICE PUBLIC TRUST. A senatorial investigating committee is finding out how civil service reform princi- ples have been applied in Philadelphia It is the same old story. One prominent busi- ness man testified how he was affected by the reform in the postoace, and his story will be appreciated by business men in all the cities where reform has been conspicuous. The witness, who receives about two hundred let ters day, testified that the service of the letter carrier upon whose route his office is situated is unsatisfactory. In December last the old letter carrier, who had served twelve or fifteen years, was dismissed. This mans name was McPherson and he was, in witness if ever made a mistake. McPherson was dis missed without cause and all the business men on his route were disgusted and incon- venienced in consequence. His promptpess was proverbial, and one could almost set his watch by his appearance. The business men protested to Assistant Postmaster Deake, through committee, against his removal. Witness then presented envelopes of letters l which were delayed two and three days since
 
 place.
 As the Investigating committee proceeds l it will find much more of the same sort, and ! the report will show how false the President has been to his professed policy. The Yer | mont Republicans in their platform well de- scribed the situation when they said: By ! confession of friends he (the President) has permitted it (the reform) to become a farce ! in Maryland and Indiana; it has been totally ovsrthrown by his officials in Vermont, and | by his party in Massachusetts it has been
 abandoned and denounced. He has remained
 silent while his appointees deserted their
 official duties, and by means of "pernicious activity" and election frauds conferred some
 of the offices of large city upon convicted criminals; and in another city he lent the in-
 fuenee of his name and patronage, in viola- ton of his earlier profession, to the election l of man who was opposed, for good reasons, by nearly all friends of honesty and reform. Recognizing, as we do, that in reformed | civil service there will be, and should be, a \ fair distribution of offices between the sd- | herents of each party, not as spells, but as ! the most effectual way of preventing un- seemly scramble, we insist there should be recti6cation of fragrant abuses, by which so | many competent and worthy officials have ! been turned out to make room for men who \ were once described by the President him self as 'besieging, importunate, tumultuous and discontented, and whose appointment greatly impaired the public service" This is a fair and forcible indictment. ! Nothing better can be looked for from the Democratic party. If civil service reform ever amounted to anything the Republicans | will bs the ones who will give it effective

The scarcity of water in many large towni in Great Britain is causing much alarm. 4 proposal to bring sea water in mains from the coast to the large inland towns of Eng. land has been made by MT. Ellis Lever oi Manchester, and has been received with much favor by the press and public. MT
 Levers proposition is to lay pipes for ses ply, and that the sea water should be used for baths, closets, watering streets, flushing sewers and in extinguishing fires. For all this and many other purposes sea water if more efficient than fresh water. The object MT. Lever has in view is to economize the fresh water supply. The question is forcing itself upon the attention, of the British Par.
 lament and proposal is being made to ap- point royal commission to inquire into the water supply of Great Britain.
 The new high license law has worked so well in Philadelphia that there is a call for even higher license. Thus the Press of that city says: A heavy license was imposed not less to decrease the number of saloons than to raise revenue. The first object has been accomplished by the present law and it's rigorous administration. The next will be secured by raising the license fee from $500 to $1 1000 and it may be $1 1,5e0. No one can question that the profit from license has been more than doubled in amount by the reduction in the number issued. The dealer vii get this unearnsd increment this year. The public must get it next year, and the legislature undoubtedly will amend the law to this end. The men who get licenses are sure to guard we'll their costly prize. Many of the others will still try to sell rum. The true test of the public resolve to have high license is yet to come in enforcing the law through the year. If it is done, and we think it will be, Philadelphia will be differ ert placa for a vaar to cor,na

The Agitation of the Sunday Ques. ffom.

The Agitation of the Sunday oues-
 tfon.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In my early days Sunday was 8 strict charch-going day. We were required after service to read chapter from the Bible, or at least one verse, aloud. Much time was spent in finding the shortest chapters and the shortest verses. Thus the letter of the requirement. was met. It was @ hard day for children, dreaded day may truly say. I really think perents have grown wiser in methods of dealing with child nature. Children have services suited to their under standing, and attractive Easters and Christi mas times develop love for Christian fes- tivals. While by no means believing in such Sundays as I have seen in continental Europe, think it is an extremely difficult thing to draw the happy medium. ted in our city, together with an outspoken infdelic sentiment, may make this agitation little spicy. The noisy element can be held in subjeetion only by ehsctually closing side and back entrances to saloons. The best talent in our city seems to be consecrated talent, for few dull, uninterest- ing sermons are delivered from our city pull pits. United, our clergy are a most infuen tial body, but chureh-going is not the whole of Sunday. How many housekeepers and mothers find it not even day of rest, but one of the most wearisome. Children to be neatly dressed fer Sunday school, an extra dinner for the master of the house, and per haps friend or two partakes of our hospi- tallty. simply speak of what is, not of what ought to be. More zeal than knowl- edge is often displayed in discus sion In 1855 sThe National Sunday league'' was formed in England. "A society which, while deprecating the conversion of any part of the day into a season for ordinary labor, or for frivolous or vicious amusement, conceives that more is expedient, and that the opening of public gardens, museums and galleries of art would promote alike the health and the moral and intellectual elevation of the peo- ple." These thoughts are worthy of the se- rious consideration of the public. "Order is heavens first law," and restless natures will seek entertainment in spite of church csnons, etc., so is it not the part of wisdom to pro- vide orderly Sunday pleasures for the masses s. E.
