seven officers on the active list OF the Navy

tain. for such general military duties as he may
assign to them; that officers, excepting the 40

apDoint one member Of the General Board as

shall have the rank pay and allowances OF a

1t will be seen that this IS an exceedingly mod

taryss liberty OF action IN the matter OF consd-
t1lting a body Of advisers. BE would not be

No reason is discernIble why so pie and

4 POSTAL REFORM.

The Postofflce Department has secured from
the Supreme Court n reform which il has long
sought in vain from Congress. The decision
that the department is not obliged to handle
books published serlally as second class mat
ter is in harmony with justice and common
sense. The custom which was allowed TO grow
Nd Of burdening the mails with books which
we're in no sense periodicals, except as pieces of
cloth are periodicals when they come from the
loom at regular intervals, was an imposition
the taxpayers
The trainers Of the law never intended to
open the door to an express business at second
class postage rates The publishers only grad
ually discovered the possibilities open to them
by liberal construction of the law, and, going
step by step in claiming privileges for publica-
tons less and less resembling the newspaper
or true magazine they were able finally TO get
the department TO transmit their wares as of
right without, perhaps, perceiving for a long
time how much it was being imposed upon.
The abuse went so far that publishers issued
sets OF standard works, q volume a month or a
volume quarter. and asked that they be trans
mitted rs periodicals ut the newspaper rate.
The department sought TO have periodicals more
strictly defined by Congress. but without sue
cess and finally determined not to let itself be
controlled by bad customs which It had been led
into. but to administer the law according to its
pristine meaning. Accordingly, it refused to
transmit at second class rates matter which
was not periodical in the ordinary sense ,nd
not "a accept as periodicals publications which
we're obviously put in that guise merely to Sc

EEcRErARY MooDYg PLAH.

In his last annual message President Roose-
Welt said: I'VE need the establishment by law
sof body Of trained officers. who shall exer
"cise systematic control Of the military af
fairs OF the navy and be authorized advisers
''of the Secretary concerning It" The important
functions thus indicated have IN recent years
been performed to q valuable extent by the
General Board, IN cooperation with the War
College, the Naval Intelligence Office, the Board
Of Inspection ana Survey and the Bureau Of
Navigation; but the General Board, which has
thus served some OF the purposes OF a General
Stan, exists only at the pleasure Of the Secre-
tsry OF the Navy, having no statutory status,
and has therefore been regarded as an unstable
ana otherwise imperfect. instrument for sup
plying him with the information and advice
which he needs. No one has more clearly de-
scribed those requirements OF his Office for
which Congress has thus far failed TO provide
than Secretary Moody, who said. in his report
last December, that information and advice
which could reach the Secretary only by a
happy accident was not an adequate reliance;
that knowledge without power in one place and
power without knowledge IN another place left
much at risk; that the requisite knowledge
should be available TO those who had the power
10 act, and that 70 a system which did not in
sure that result the man charged with response
bility In time Of trial would fan a victim.
THESE ana Slulldr uLLeIAnces Ng Objects OF
The government, reinforced 10y weighty profess
slonal opinions, encouraged tie hope that Con
rress would create az this session a board Of
naval officers charged with the duty Of supply
fnr an obvious deficiency in the naval service.
Naturally tie name General STAFF was CON-
monty employed in referring 20 such a plan,
Inns II has long been evident that the designa-
ZION gave offence in some quarters where 4
aieaosltion existed TO suspect that a mischiev-
ous design for promoting selfish personal am
bitions was being cherished. We believe there
has never been any foundation for that suspi-
zion. The authority Of the civilian head OF the
donarfrneut has not been threatened, nor the
sronorfance Of the bureaus. Tie object aimed
a. has been n coordination OF activities and
forces solely for the benefit Of the service. and
slere is stiIl some reason TO hope that lauda'
bic purpose VIII be accomplished IN the near
future. n not at the present session.
In HIS address 20 the House Committee on
Naval Affairs last Monday Secretary Moody
presentec views entirely consistent with those
which he expressed IN his annual report and
submitted bill TO carry them out He does
moi advise the organization OF a General stan

stances. at least, is apparently not in favor Of
an elaborate organization 81 that character

SONS OF THE SOIL.

When the fog which had hung so heavily over
the Atlantic Coast was at last scattered by the
breezes at the end of last week about nine thou
sand steerage passengers came into New-York
Harbor and passed from the Lower Bay by the
Narrows in "A single day. A majority of them
was cared for promptly at Ellis Island, but
so serious was the strain upon the facilities for
the handling OF immigrants that considerable
number Of them remained on shipboard until
Monday, although there is no other city in the
world which is so generously equipped for the
welcome of immigrants rs New-York What a
tremendous rush Of the seekers Of new fortunes

1t is reported that OF the nine thousand
two-tlirds came from Italy. 1t is likely. there
fore, that rents in the downtown Italian quar-
ter and in Little Italy" in Harlem will go TO
higher figures. Most Of these newcomers of the
Latin race to the free air of this Republic are
sturdy stalwart fellows. ready to WELD pick

NET-JERSEYS LEGISLATURE.

1t was a day OF conferences yesterday at the
State House in Trenton Before the hour
rived for the meeting Of the special session OF
the New-Jersey Legislature the leaders were
putting their heads together and trying TO agree
upon programme likely to be satisfactory 10
the people and safe for the Republican party.
Senator Dryden dropped in from Washington
TO aid by HIS counsel, and for hours he was
closeted with the Governor and other men Of
prominence.
There was general feeling IN favor Of pass
ing without unnecessary delay the bill prohibit
ing trap pigeon shooting. Beyond this 10 una
nimity OF sentiment appeared. Some OF the
most influential Of the conferrees strenuousy
advocated the passage OF the Morris Canal
Abandonment bin. but n majority Of the State
Senators turned adamantine faces to this prop
osition and fatty refused TO consider II. Then
Major Carl Lentz and one or two other leaders
tried their hands ut the task Of perSuading the
Assemblymen to take up the canal bill on their
own account and make issue with the Senate
in the hope Of obliging the latter body TO re-
cede from its antagonlstic attitude. The As
semblymen did hold long conference; they
talked all over and around the question. and
finally, finding that the Senate wouldn't bulge
resolved TO follow the lead OF the upper house
This action was formally ratified by vote of
both chambers. This was precisely the advice
given by The Tribune since the question Of n
special session was first mooted
Calm reflection will undoubtedly convince
both politicians and voters outside OF a few
special interests, that the action taken was the
wisest one possible under the circumstances
or the eighty-one members of the present legis-
lature it is doubtful if half a dozen know thor
oughly what the Morris Canal bill means and
what fits enactment would mean There will
however be no excuse for lack Of information
regarding its purport when the legislature meets
again next January

The failure TO perform this duty viii Involve
a grave injury the effects OF when are not
easily measured The Judicial Retirement Dill
was passed by the Assembly In lbs Original
form by a vote OF 40 TO 90 and in us AMENDED
form the Senate passed It by 30 votes to III.
But the amendments in the Senate make neces-
sary its passage again in the Assembly before 1t
can reach the Governor Thus it happens that
this measure that has received the support IN
both houses Of such large majorttles or their
numbers, is now tied up in the last hours or the
session its fate dependent absolutely upon the
decision of the Committee on Rules There is
no question of its passage If released, but 1t
cannot be voted upon unless reported
The Sneaker and the committee may feel
justified in putting upon the calendar for the
Judgment of the Assembly important bills even
though they have been the subject or general
public condemnation, as is true of some that
VIII come up for action to-day. But that they
should do this and Mt the same time refuse to
nut upon the calendar a bill that has. in a
slightly different FORM already passed the AS
sembly by a vote of more than five 10 one, and
that has the general approval Of the bar and or
the people in all except the most sparsely set
tied portions Of the State. is incomprehensiole
The merits Of the bill have been thoroughly
canvas sed and are well understood. The ex-
pressions of approval of the measure on the
part OF the public have shown an overwhelming
sentiment in fits favor. The people are quick
to resent and slow to forget injustice TO their
judges. 1t would be an injustice 10 the aged
judges of the higher courts If, because OF the
action or non-action of the Committee on Rules.
the Assembly should not be permitted TO vote
on the judicial Retirement bill. Speaker Nixon
has on more than one occasion shown readl-
ness to respond 10 aroused public sentiment
He Will show himself deserving in a still higher
degree Of the confidence and regard OF tho
people OF the State II he shall save this bill
from the fate that otherwise awaits it, and
shall Immediately order It upon the calendar
of bills TO be acted upon in the remaining hours
