JUSTICE TO POSTOFFICE CLERKS

For over n year Congressman Dunphy's bill
for the classification OF clerks IN first and
second class postofiices has been before the
House Of Representatives. Introduced In the
extra session on September @. 1893. II was re-
ferrcd to the Committee on the Posoice and
Post Roads. There II rcposed until March ..
1894, when IT was reported with amendments
and sent TO the Committee Of the Whole. All
efforts to bring 1t TO vote during the second
session proved unavailing. The Civil Service
principles which II contained did not appeal 10
the enthusiasm OF the majority in Congress
While nobody openly opposed the measure. and
II had the approval OF everybody who had the
interest Of the postofiice service at heart yet
the undecared prejudice against interfering
with the chance Of any Democrat to obtain
spols which exists with many members Of the
House stood In the way Of the bills passage
1t has the approval Of the postmasters Of fifteen
cities. and Is generally conceded to be an act Of
Justice to q hard-workng and faithful class Of

Both Mr.. German and Mr.. Hill spoke in the
Senate yesterday. and the net result Of their
remarks was simply to show the utter inability
of the majority party TO produce any important
or useful legislation Mr. German was forced
to the confession that the compromise Tariff bill
bearing his name is failure as respects its
revenue-producing qualities, and that deficit
Of s1O0OOOOOO confronts the Treasury for the
current year All he could do was TO urge the
carving out Of the incometax section Of the

with pointing out that under the present Senate
rules nothing can be done. The Democrats in

Several interesting and important measures
were laid before the Legislature last evening
The most important is the bill reorganizing the
police courts In New-York on the lines described
in The Tribune on Sunday. Another bill abol-
ishcs the present Coroner system In this city;
and another Is the Power-of- Removal bill pre-
pared by the Republican Club The Committee
OF Seveny's bill on this subject has been re-
turned TO Albany by Mayor Strong with an
earnest recommendation that the time for ap
pointing new heads Of departments be extended
from four months TO six. The time named In
the Republican Clubs bill is ninety days. If a
parallel be sought in Brooklyn. 1t will be found
that new commissioners take Office just one
month after a Mayors term begins; and the
system there has been In successful operation

With another good man to alternate

Remedies would be In winning form.
Brockton Times The Maine cranks are
apparently satisfied with King as a pitch
err He is good hitter and strengthens
the team considerably.
Brockton Times: Doherty played a
good game at third for the Remedies and
planked one over left field to stand Willis
off in the third inning. Bean, at short,
was in the game from start to finish.
The Remedies are playing good ball
and have made fully as good a showing
on the present trip as any Maine club
The scores show that the Kennebecs put
up better ball with New Bedford, Thurs
day, than did Lewiston in her games with
that team.

invalid for the past ID years, but had been
enjoying better health than usual for the

conducted up to the time of his death.

combined with generous, sympathetic
nature, made him u friend of all with
whom he came in contact, He was never
much in public life, but about 25 years
ago, served in both branches of the city
government
In 1S49, he married Miss Eliza G. Raj
ter of Jefferson. He is survived by his
wife and daughter, Miss l.. X. Vannah,

CHINA RATIFIES
The Treaty of Peace as Al
ready Signed by Japan.
Thought That Russia Will Now Drop
the Quarrel With Latter.
Uncle Sam Will Make No Compact With
England in Case Of Trouble.

Washington, May 2.-Much gratifica
ton is expressed at the state department,
over the reported acquiescence by China
I'D the treaty of peace with Japan. A.
the Publications of treaty have to be ex
changed at Che Foo before May s, and a.
that point is at least four days Journey
from Pekin, it is regarded as strongly
probable that the treaty, duly signed by
the Chinese Emperor, is already ON tn,
way to the appointed place of ratification
The Japanese Emperor ratified the instru
ment more than week ago.
Little Importance is attached at the de
partment to the newspaper reports of Rus
sia's possible interference. 1t is predicted
that Russia will not be heard from again
in connection with Japans attitude.
So far rs the United States is concerned,
the statement is reiterated without reserve
that no European alliance against Japan
Will cause the government to enter into
an agreement with England or any other
power to offset it.
