the rules and regulations Of the Civil Service
Commission. In one thing Mr. Lyman Is right;
there is need Of legislation to enable the pro-
vision Of the Constitution on this subject to be
properly carried out. The Commissioner asks
for sensible. consistent and practicable CIVIL
Service system" and deplores the absence OF
certainty and well-settled rules now prevailing.
His clear recognition Of the necessity OF these
things is certainly an important gain
Mr. Sewall has been heard from again IN a
denial that he has any intention OF withdrawing
from the ticket in favor Of the Hon. Tom
Watson. 1t is not a denial exactly that he
makes. but evidently he means his remark to
be so construed ANY man who for minute
would entertain such an idea Is not worthy to
"be answered" he says. This means that Sew
all Is going to stick; but no man yet knows
whether Bryan Is going to accept or refuse the
ST. Louis nomination. That Is a far more in
teresting matter than the attitude Of the Maine
man. which has now been disclosed more than
once with sufficient explcitness
An important meeting of the representatives
of the Reform Democratic organization was
held at the office Of ex-Secretary Fairchild In
this city yesterday. and decision was reached
that 1t would be wise to have this State repre-
scented at the conference Of sound money Demo
Gratis of the West to be held in indianapolis on
August 7. AS a delegate to that conference ex-
Congressman Tracey. Of Albany, was selected.
He will appear as the spokesman of the most
influential Democrats Of the Empire State, who
believe that 1t is their duty to oppose with all
their might the heresies that had free course at
Chicago. but who have not yet determined on
the wisest and most effective way of making
their opposition felt

Why President Cleveland should interpose
Just ut this time Will be the inquiry of many
persons when they read the proclamation he
issued yesterday regarding the enforcement Of
the neutrality laws as between the United
States and Spain. The proclamation Is not n
manifestation Of hostility to the patriot cause
OH the part Of the United States, though it will
not unnaturaly be construed in MI unfriendly
way by the insurgents and their sympathizers
in this country AS n Nation we are. Of course,

1t is gradually becoming clear to officials, high
and low, that the Civil Service provision OF the
revised Constitution is not mere congeres OF

SUNDAY BARRIER LAW SUSTAINED.
Two Members OF the Court OF Appeals De-
clare It to Be Uncop stitutionaI.


albany, April 14.-Judgment was affirmed
by the Court OF Appeals to-day in the case of
the people, respondents, against Henry J. Hav-
nor. appellant, This was an appeal by the de-
PENDANT from q judgment convicting him OF vio-
lating the law. which prohibits BARRIERS from
plying their trade on Sunday. The decision.
which was written by Judge Vann, ~sustains the
law compelling barber shops in all places Of the
State. except New York and Saratoga, to close
on Sunday. All the Judges concur In the de-
cision. except judges Gray and Bartlett, each
OF whom writes a dissenting opinion.
The contention OF Havnor was that the law
was unconstitutional. as 1t was class legislation.
Judge Vann holds that the law docs not go be-
yond the limits of executive power by depriving
any one Of liberty or property within the mean
ing OF the Constitution. The contention that
the law Is class Legislation Is also overruled by
Judge Vann, who reaffrms on this point the re-
marks given in the opinion by the Appellate d.
vision.
Judge Gray writes. Regarded rs an exercise
necessary for the good of the society or as con-
ducive to it's welfare; and 1t Is ~violative OF con-
stitutional principles In that 1t nestrains unduly
and unequally the liberty OF those engaged in a
Judge Bartlett says that while the court has
very properly held that the Christian sabbath
Is one Of the civil institutions Of the state. and
that the Legislature may regulate Its observ-
ance and prevent its dissertation. he thinks the
case presents an instance where the lawmakers
have overstepped the bounds of legitimate leEis-
lation in the alleged exercise of the police power.
The claim that the work Of the barber is one Of
necessity. needful during the early hours of
Sunday for tho comfort of the community. rcsts
upon years OF practical construction OF the vari-
Gus laws regulating the observance OF the Sab
bath. II think he concludes, that chapter
1913. laws of 1898. is void, as violating the Four
United states. and for the reason that IL Is not Q
proper exercise OF the police power"

THE VENEZUELA COMMISSION.
Important Certified Documents Are Being
Translated for Its Use.

WAsHINGToS. April 4.-The regular weekly
meeting of the Venezuela Boundary Commits
sion to-day was devoted to the reading OF tho
reports made by the various members on the
sub-topics to which they were individually as
signed. No action was taken. and tho question
OF sending a member or members abroad to col
lect information was not discussed. 1t is not
likely that this subject will be- taken up for
some time. as a mass OF matter Is expected
shortly by the Commission from the Venezuela
Minister in Washington. which will undoubt-
cdly prove OF much value. consisting as 1t does
Of certified copies Of original documents and a
number OF maps relating to the disputed terri
tory.
For many years the Venezuela Government
has been collecting material from original
sources at Rome. Madrid. The Hague. and Lon
don. and these documents are now being trans
lated under the direction of Senior Andrade, the
Venezuela Minister here. Their bearing on
the work OF the Commission is i'm portant. in
view of their certified authenticity, and a num-
Der of them embrace the full text of papers from
which extracts only were given In the British
Blue Book presenting Lord Salisbury's side Of
the case.
The Commission has received from England
q notification that errors existing in the Blue
Book would be corrected in AN additional pub
LEGATION, which will also present the full text Of
documents only partially given in the original
publication. in addition. Mr.. Scruggs. former
Minister of the United States to Venezuela. and
counsel for the Venezuela Government before
the Commission. has furnished mere material
from Caracas, with maps Of the British and
Venezuela possessions, so that tho Commission
has n vast store of material to assist 1t in its de-
liberations.

THE EXTRAYAGANT SENATE.
It Insists on Appropriations for Clerks
Averaging Sa,4s1 for Ench Senator.

WASHINGTON, April lin the House to-day
Mr.. Bingham Rep, Pa reported from the con-
ferees on the Legislative. Executive, and Judi
cial Appropriation bill the agreement made.
leaving tho two Houses still apart on something
over 100 of the 314 amendments made by the
Senate. Mr.. Bingham explained the grounds Of
difference. substantially rs stated by Senator
Cullom In the Senate yesterday. The total
amount involved in the differences was $751;
500. He said that the increases made by the
Senate, especially In the matter OF its en-
ployees. were, in the judgment OF the House
conferees, not warranted either by the condi-
ton of business in the country or the condi-
tlon OF the national Treasury. lie had for years
seen the House stand valiantly against the pol
icy OF the Senate In the matter of the expenses
of that body. but he had never seen any other
result than the retirement OF the House from
the contest, leaving the Senate in control.
Mr.. Hopkins (Rep, W.D-Isn't it true that the
feet right and freedom in arranging the num-
Der and salaries OF its employees
Mr.. Bingham-Oh, yes.
we shall not interfere in what might be termed
their own domestic affairs.
Mr.. Bingham. continuing. said that the bill, as
IL passed the House, carried appropriations for
salaries OF employees amounting, on the aver
age, 10 5000 for every member OF the House. As
IL passed the Senate the salaries for Senate EN-
ployees averaged S4,4S3 for every member of
that body. The Senate had amended the bill
by making clerks to Senators not chairmen of
committees annual instead OF seasonal and in
creasing their salaries from 500 a month to
SMr. Richardson Dem. Tenn asked Mr.. BIng-
ham whether the Conferces intended 10 recede
from their disagreement to that amendment.

PHILADELPHIA. April l5.-The bench show OF
the Philadelphia Kennel Club opened this morn
ing in Industrial Hall. There was such a large
attendance that locOmotion was difficult. AL
though there is u great variety OF classes. the
entries In many OF them are not large.
With the exception OF the few cages for toy
dogs OH the edges OF the stages, all the rest are
benched on the main floor 81 the hall.
OF the big dogs the 81. Demands attract the
most attention. They are divided about equally
between the swiss Mountain Kennels entry
Leeds Harry, and the ~lIellgatc Kennels Roland,
Jr., each u winner IN his class and grand spect
mems OF their breed.
In the puppy class n dog that attracts q great
deal OF attention is Defender H., ten months
old, tho entry OF Mrs. 7. j. Dewess OF Riverton.
The entry Of Great Danes is rs .her a small
one. Marcus AntOnius and Major Mckinney
I'd, were the winners OF first and second
prizes respectively,
In sporting dogs there is Il good exhibit, En-
alish and Irish settlers being well represented.
There Is also "A good exhibit OF tIurdpns. Inc
display off Russian wolf hounds is equal to any
ever shown in this country.
The new fad In dog down East, the Boston
terrier. Is the feature OF the show, That the
bull terrier still holds u high place IN public
favor Is nttesled by the biz entTy list in this
class. bulldogs and white English terriers are
also well re represented.
The exhibit Of COll!es. while not as large as IN
former shows, is u gOoI one. Fox terriers seeIn-
inely keep up their hold on tho fancy, and there
is little diminulion OF interest in tho breed.
The Judges got to work early, anu bciore the
doors closed Tonight hRd decided on the merits
of nearly all the dogs shown,
