THE DINGLEY TARIFF BILL
 PASSED IN THE HOUSE.
Senator Thurston s Coed Work and the Arbitration Treaty Other News Notes from the National Gap-
 ital.

WAsHINGToN, D. C., April ,, 1S97.- The two most important events of the past week. was the passage by the House of Representatives of the Dingley Tariff Bill, and approval by the Senate of the Arbitration Treaty between this country and Great Britain. The Tariff Bill passed the House by d vote of 205 for, and l22 against. Tine Democrats voting with the majority were Messrs. Meyer Br0us8ard, and DayeY, of Louisiana;and kleberg and Slayden, of Texas. or the silver men, may be mentioned Mr. Newlands, of Netada, and Hartman, of Montana. Messrs. Jones, Skinner and Howard, Popu- lists. voted for the bill Before the final passage of the aet there was an amendment offered by Mir. Grosve nor, of Ohio. which makes the hill effective as against the importation of goods along the present lines of tariff after tht lst of April, 1897. This will prevent thecountry being filled with imported goods before the act takes effect, as Was the ease be- fore the Ncl[ialeY bill went into effect in lNj0.
 The bill has been sent to the senate aul rofe red to the Finance committee, where it will undergo such changes as that Committee may deem fer Che best, after which .it will be reported to the Senate, and then the discussion as to the merits of tHe bill will commence. 1t is thought that the vote in the Senate will not be had before the lst of T1nA

Now that the senate has ratified the Arbitration Treaty with Great Britain, those in position to know what took place in the executive session during its consideration, re- port that SeDator Thurston, of Ne braska, took d leading part in form ulating and securing the adoption of the principal amendment to the treaty, without which it would have failed of confirmation by many votes.
 Senator Thurst0n insisted from the beginning that the treaty should specifically exclude the idea of sub- hitting in advance the arbitration of any question involving the na- tional honor, the integrity of the territory of the foreign or domestic policy of the United States. His speeches on the subject are said to have been both brief and pointed and were very strong in favor both of the amendment and of the ratifi cation of tie treaty amended.

PERHAPS the most appalling exhibi-
ton OF party effrontery ever witnessed
in this country is furnished bv the
Democratic press in it's criticism ofthe
attempt OF certain Republicans to cur
tail the scope and application of5the
civil service law. II is not at all nee
essary to discuss the merits of the law
in this connection. Personally we
have our. opinion of civil service, and
are not slow to declare that it is as
full Of faults and flaws as an armored
ship is of blow holes, but that is
neither here nor there. The Republi-
can national convention declared for
the civil service, and a majority Of the
Republican congressman, as we'll. as
the president, are in favor of retaining
1t among the necessary evils of, our
system of government. But the Dem
ocratic national convention declared in
specific terms against the civil service
law, and now the Democratic press is
making great show of virtue bvde-
nouncing those Republicans who are
engaged in doing just what the Demo
cratic party pledged itself to do. <}ss;.

THE policy of maintaining a civil
pension list will be the undoing of any
party that attempts it. If there is
anything that will not be tolerated by
the people Of this country it is the es-
| adjustment of an aristocracy of Office
holders. So long as this government
retains its republican form it must
leave all the offices open to people, to
be filled by them as they see ft. We
are much inclined to doubt whether
any administration has a moral right
to install a man in any office for a
greater length of time than is given
that administration, itself, and it cer-
tainly is going the limit when it places
a man in position during the period
OF his fitness and activity. OF course
it is sad to see a man; turned out in the
world in his old age without means of
support, but government officials are
not on starvation salaries, and if man
can not lay by enough in the period of
his official service to suffice him in his
old age it is his own fault. The public
will never tolerate the idea of keeping
a man in office as long as he wants it
and then retiring him on a pension.
And, moreover, retention on the paw
rolls under some misguiding pretext
will amount in the estimation of the
public, to the same thing, and the
party that does it will have to suffer
for it.
