All Hands. Pictures of tho American
Navy. By Rufus Fairchild Zogbaum,
author of Horse, Foot and Dragons Mr..
Zogbauln is ona of the foremost modern
dellneators of naval and military life and
his drawings have been made into very
fascinating book. All Hands is vivid
panorama of life on board United States
man -of-war both in port and at sea,
which is revelation to the inexperienced
reader. In turning the leaves Of the vol
ulne one learns of the magnitude of the
work carried on from day to day in these
modern fighting machines, and of The re-
sponslbllity OF the commanding officer.
The author says '4In times of peace, in
times of war a.naval vessel in commission
is kept in a constant state of readiness
whether for contest in a hurricane OF the
tropics or for battle with the country S
enemies" The pictures also show the
varying moods OF the sailor-at work, at
play, and in the smoke of battle. All
Hands Is in large folio form with six
double-page and thirty seven full page
drawings, with as many smaller sketches
and brief Introduction, in which the
essentials OF the subject are given. The
pictures tell their own story in Il very
effective manner. The volume is very
appropriately and handsomely bound in
navy blue, with the title and name of
the author in gold, and spirited sketch
of ship at sea in white ana blue. New

There is little doubt that the cotton
goods manufacturers Of New England are
confronted with something more than q
theory. 1t is & veritabIe condition in the
form of Southern competition, in which
the price paid to operatives in the two
sections Of the country cuts quite figure
For instance, at the South 50 or rs cents
per day is the price paid the operatives
for II hour days. Here it is nearly twice
as much for wages, with IS to 60 hours as
week. work ana in some cases less.
With such disparity of wages it will be
hard for New England to successfully
compete with the South in the cotton
goods market and at the same time give
satisfaction to mill operatives. Probably
there is greater efficiency on the part of
New England which makes up some OF
the difference in wages and hours but
not all Of it. s .a.-s

The "Irish World asserts with POSI-
tiqeness that there are not SO many Irish
Americans in public Office as there should
be. Just five of the ninety members Of
the Senate of the United States are foreign
born, and there is net an Irishman
among the five. There are only four
among the 359 congressman. Or the 400
oonsulates only three have fallen to Irish
men; aggregate pay IS, 500 year. Even
in New York City the Irish do not hold
as many of the Off res rs their numbers
and their never falling sjeadfastness to
party entitle them to. Beyond the linn
its of this political oasis they are ''unani-
mously ignored when the offices are being

World that this is due to the potent in
fuence of the secret societies to which the

of more serious consideration if it were

The excuse that the anti civil service
Teformers make for their onslaught upon
the merit system is that President Cleve-
the scope of the civil service rules so as to
embrace some 90, 900 employees of the gov
eminent who were all Democrats and
had been appointed by President Cleve-
land when the positions which they filed
were not covered by the civil service law.
In short they charge him with packing
1000 offices with 10000 Democrats, CIV
ing Republicans no chance whatever, and
then close to the time when another Pres
ident was to succeed him, and one in all
probability of different party, throwing
around them the protection OF the civil
service law. Unfortunately there is good
deal OF reason for believing that this
charge is substantially true, though Mr.
Cleveland's friends stoutly deny it. Be
lieving it true, it is not unnatural of
course that the Republicans should be
ezasperated, and should seek to tear
down the bars which Mr.. Cleveland put
up to protect his political friends. II
that were all they sought we could not
blame them very much. But that is only
a part. They not only seek to take down
the bars to undo the injustice
which they believe MIR. Cleveland was
guilty Of, but in their evaporation they
want to abolish the whole civil service
system, and turn the Offices over to con-
gressmen to be treated as their own per-
sonal property, to be used for the pay
inent for services rendered them in cleo
ton contests. If they were content with
asking that the offices which Mr.. Glove.
land secured to his own party by trick,
as they say, should be opened to public
| competition until they were filed by
men on their merits without regard to
| their politics. they would have pretty
good case. AS it is they are simply clam
oring for the reinstatement of the spoils
system, pure and simple, and betraying
one Of the clearest and most explicit
planks Of the Republican platform.

Mr. ChandIer's reference in his recent

with us in a bimetaliic convention, and
since then Russia, which is the only ma
