"For the Right" by Karl Emil FRANCIS,
given in English by Julie Suffer, is one of the
new books of 1888 in the Franklin Square Ii.
brary, and may be found at Wilson & Webbs.
An able preface by Geo. Mcdonald in few
words draws the attention of the reader to
the important facts and sentiments in the
story and proves itself the best of criticisms,
inasmuch as without revealing the thread of
the narrative it inspires the reader with curl.

WASHINGTON, JUNE IA, 1888.

SENATOR DoLPH's bill providing for
coast defences and other Notifications
makes total appropriation cf $780,
377 800, all of which sum is TO be
available for the various purposes in
dicated at so much a year for the next
twelve years. The wisdom of appro-
priating lump sum for the great
work contemplated is apparent, and
the same policy should be adopted
with regard to all public improve
ments, so that there may be no sus-
pensions or delays, or losses by reason
of waiting on each succeeding Con-
gress to furnish or fail to furnish a
fresh installment of funds. The plan
Of the bill is business-like and in
sures the completion within the
period named of q system of defenses
that will place all the important ports
of the country in condition of Sc
curity against bombardment or inva-
sion. The appropriation for the Ma
tional Capital is 81 1923, 800, including
$500, 600 for masonry and earthwork
Of the barbette batteries; $6s3,0OO for
guns, mortars and carriages, and
$120,500 for, submarine mines. The
proposed armament consists of seven
12-inch, 50-ton guns and six 10-inch,
27-ton guns, breech-loading rifles.

CANDIDLY AND SERIOUSLY, the age Of
Mr.. Thurman ought not to initiate
against his acceptability as q candi-
date. In England, Germany and
France man is not considered too
old for high and responsible trusts so
long as his head is level. We live
faster in this country and go off
earlier, but it is not wise to encourage
the habit of setting up age limitations
to the holding Of public Office. If it
be assumed that American manhood
ceases with the scriptural limit Of
three score years and ten, after which
follow heart-failure, brain-failure,
leg-failure and various other physical
failures, do we not assume that life
has been recklessly lived, to be so
soon exhausted, and that Republican
institutions are favorable rather to
early decrepilude than to vigorous old
age?
But, even ii Mr.. Thurman were too
old and infirm to exercise the func-
tions of his office, what then2 The
country has got along all right with

fall OF 1881, and, for all that we can
see, might well enough dispense with

IT WOULD BE A WISE and judicious
act on the part Of the District Com
missioners to postpone the opening of
the public schoolsuntil October. Sep
tember is usually the most trying
month of the year and not the proper
time to house children up at their
books. We are confident that the
change would be attended by bene-
fetal sanitary results and interfere in

'DoRMAN B. EATON, one of the origi-
nal and shining lights of civil service
reform, appears to be well pleased
? with the tieSet nominated at st. Louis,
and, with a single exception, regards
the platform an excellent one. AS a
whole it is ."prudent and sagacious,"
but on the question of reform in the
civil service it is "feeble and made
duate." We cannot see how Mr..
Eaton makes this out, for that which
has no existence at all cannot be
feeble any more than it can be strong
cannot be inadequate any more
than adequate. The platform is dumb
on the reform question, and as Mr..
Eaton further suggests, it may be
"Gormanish" in its dumbness, but
nothing more. The platform makers
took their cue from the President in
his last message to Congress and con-
fined themselves to the one issue. II
their work is "feeble" in respect to
civil service reform, it is debilitated
in regard to prohibition and actually
paralytic as to the internal revenue

The 4 fisheries TREATY.

Cleveiand's attitude no the fish.
cries treaty IS very ridiculous. He
appointed the American representa-
tives as the Commissioners without
authority OF law and pulled the
wires to make them carry out his
will and play into the hands of
Great Britain.
The job was so apparent that the
Senate rejected the treaty because
the terms were so humiliating to
the United States.
Cleveland was perfectly satisfied
with there terms until the Senate
broke him up by rejecting them.
He now wishes to make it an
pear that he had no connection
with debating the humble term, al
the treaty and assums a bluffIng at
tItude toward England which raises
a laugh all over the United. States.
