Commissioner Raum was asked for his
resignation weeks before his successor
was selected. As long as he remained at
the head Of the Bureau, applications for
pension were granted just as rapidly as
thew mad been since the new law went into
effect, nearly three years ago. One OF
the first things agreed upon by the new
Democratic cabinet was that the number
of original pensions granted should be
largely cut down, and they have been
from the day that General Raum left the
bureau, the decrease being about seventy
Der cent. And the present understand
ing in the bureau is that the average OF
original pensions granted must not be
more than one-third Of what it was
under General Raum. That is one kind
Of pension reform, but it will hardly be
popular with needy applicants.

MORE CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

Senator Cabot Lodge has introduced a
bill providing that fourth-class Postmas-
tiers should be appointed by the Postmas-
ter-General from a list of eligible candi-
dates examined and selected by Postofice
Inspectors. The purpose of this bill is to
eliminate Postmasters Of that class from
the list of political officers. A Democratic
paper, which delights in the performances
of the chief headsman of succeeding ad-
ministrations, says in reference to MIR.
Lodges bill:
We do not know by what mysteri0u process
of unnatural selection PostOffice Inspectors n-
nocent OF politics are TO be found. Perhaps
Mr.. Lodge has in his desk a constitutional
amendment providing that POsioffice Inspectors
shall not be allowed TO have any politics.
1t might be difficult to tell why fourth
class Postmaster should not be allowed to
have politics as long as the frst-class Post
master is INDUCED in that luxury. But
legislators have sometimes TO DO what
they can. Probably Mr.. Lodge would pre-
fer that no Federal officials should have
politics unless Senators may be considered
Federal officials. But bill 10 subject the
whole civil service to such law as it is
proposed 10 apply to f0urth-class Post
masters would stand no show in either
house of Congress. 1t is doubtful if Mr..
Cleveland, ardent civil-service reformer as
he is supposed to be, would like to have
all the patronage taken from him. The
shrinkage in his political proportions that
would foil ow might surprise even himself.

SOONER OR LATER.

Democratic newspapers declare exult-
ingly that New gland has lost its grip
on national politics. They point to the
competition of the important House COM
nlittees as evidence of the lost power of the
portion OF the country which has tor half
a century played the part of the school
master to other parts. But, as New Eng
land paper rises to remark. this is not the
first time that New England has been in a
minority. Sooner or later, however, the
country comes round to the New England
way Of thinking. While the present is not
the first time W hen New England has been
in minority, it is the first time that she
has assisted to place herself in minority.
The New England press made Cleveland.
The conversion of such journals as the
Springfield Republican, the Providence
Journal the Boston Herald and other
New England papers of less note had an
immense influence On public opinion in the
West. 1t was urged with irresistible force
that the party of protection had seen the
fallacy of its own doctrines. The admitted
high character and intelligence of these
New England Mugwumps rendered their
conversion TO the Democracy as eXpOunded
by Cleveland the more notable Probably
the three papers we have mentioned, two
of which have but provincial circulation,
have more influence on the public mind
than any three journals in New \ ork. New
England did not realize that it could not
put Democrat in the White House with
out handing the reins of Governments to
the South. Sooner or later it will realize
its mistake

WHAT WE ARE COMING TO

Speaking of the prospects of the pro-
posed Stockton and Bakersfield railroad a
free-trade contemporary says:
II it we're not for the tariff $500, 600 could be
saved in the cost OF rails alone and a CORE
spending amount in the cost OF spikes, fish
plates, switches ana materials OF every de-
scription.
The duties on the articles mentioned
would average not far from % per cent.
The amount of steel rails on which the
duties would be $500. 600 would cost about
$1,2OO,OOO Under free trade all this
money would go out Of the country. So
would an equal amount for other articles
mentioned. As steel rails cost about So
less ton in England than in the United
States, American steel works would get
no part of the orders. Our free-trade con-
temporary may say that it does not much
ma tier TO California whether work is done
in the East or England, since it cannot be
done IN California This. in fact, is the
principle upon which free trade rests
Let the nation do work that can do it at
the lowest cost is pure free-trade doctrine.
The present proposition is to increase
Government revenues by reducing duties
on imported goods. This can only be done
by increasing the amount of goods i'm
ported. OF course, every dollar Of i'm
ported goods that take the place of goods
that have been manufactured in this cOun-
try dis places so much labor. The free
trade idea seems to be TO so diminish the, de-
mand for labor that laborers will prefer
to take what wages they can get. Consid-
cradle progress has been made in that
direction within q year.

MANCHESTER CANAL.

In January next the canal between the
Mersey and Manchester, England, is to be
open for traffic. The rates have already
been fixed for coal, which will be charged
u cents per ton for the use of the canal.
Dockage an d handling of cargo are extra
charges. Cotton ships from America or
elsewhere will no doubt proceed to the
mill center OF Lancashire and relieve
Liverpool of a considerable source of
revenue in the handling of this staple.
Probably towage up the canal will amount
to very little more than the cost at present
OF reaching the Mersey docks either of
Liverpool or Birkenhead. The compile
ton of the canal is a most creditable I'M
dertaking on the part Of three or four
cities such as Manchester, Stafford and
Oldham. with Cottonopolis, of course, in
supreme control as municipality. The
estimates have been far exceeded,
the expenditure now amounting 10
over S30,000,000, but there never has
been any embarrassment about funds.
save as depending upon the consent of
Parliament Not a penny of Government
assistance has been given to the enterprise
On the contrary. the care which Parlia-
ment has exercised over vested interests
has added to the expenditure materially.
Yet the whole burden has been easily
borne by the municipalities interested,
together with private investment subscrip-
lions. 1t is an example which America
might well follow in the construction of
the Nicaragua canal. which will not cost
more than three times as much and will be
a really great undertaking for the whole
world
