in its regular order, which will post

measure at least two weeks.

ROBERT E. PATTISON, late governor
of Pennsylvania, is one of the mem
bers appointed bv President Cleveland
on the Pacific Railroad Commissioner
The other two members are E. Ellery
Anderson, of New York and David
Silter, of Illinois. The commissioners
are to investigate the affairs of the
Pacific Railroads under the act pass
ed by the last Congress. The ap
pointment of Ex-Gov. Pattison is one
that receives the heartiest endorse
ment of all men of integrity and good
judgement in both parties. Presideut
Cleveland simply recognized the ster
ling character of Pennsylvania's form
er Reform governor.
THE Knights of Labor of this state
held a convention at Ilarrisburg,
which was addressed in a masterly
way by their leader, Mr. Powderly.
In his remarks he era phatically con
demmed the anarchists and called at
tention to the sobriety and good be
havior of the members of the Knights
of Labor organization. Among the
important resolutions adopted by the
convention is one which sympathizes
with the farmer and promises support
to legislation in the farmer's interest.
The main object of the convention
was to discuss pending legislation in
reference to labor, which was done in
a quiet and orderly way.
THE frequency and evident necessi
ty of veto messages under President
Cleveland's administration is a matter
which ha 3 created considerable com
ment of late years. An official com
pilation of all the veto messages sen t
to congress, beginning with the sth
of April 1792, shows a total num
ber of 245, of which 113 were issued
by Cleveland himself, leaving a bal
ance of 132 for Cleveland's predecess
ors. Another interesting fact which
conies to notice is,that of these 132 ve
toed bills 28 were passed over the ve
toes, while the last congress refused to
recognize only two of Cleveland's 113
vetoes. The attempt of Cleveland's
political enemies to censure him for
the many vetoes has as yet received
very little encouragement from the
people. On the contrary the country
feels sure that the President made
such good use of the vetoing power in
the interest of the people, and their
confidence in his administration is
growing daily.
RHODE IsLANDDemoerats glory over
the sweeping victory gained by thein
in last Wednesday's election. And
so they can. The state has been
strongly republican for many years
past and this new turn of tte political
face is an important and significant re
sult of a long and determined struggle.
Every man on the Democratic state
ticket was elected by a fair plurality,
while the present indications point to
a majority in the legislature. John
W. Davis, the winning candidate lor
governor has an official majority of
937, Ziba 0. Slccum was elected at
torney general by 2,518 majority,
while J. G. Perry, the democratic can
didate for treasurer -will have a ma
jority of 2,609. If straws tell which
way the wind blows there will be a
regular democratic blizzard in 1888,
which will scatter the fragments of the
Republican party so badly that they
will be hard to find for years after.

EXPERIENCE is said to be the best
teacher. Nevertheless tho English
government does not seem to heed its
lessons at leatt as far as Ireland is
concerned. To restore peace and
quiet in that country the English min
istry show a decided preference for
the old policy, manely coercion, and
give the just and better policy of home
rule the eold shoulder. To look at the
endless chain of coercion laws with
which England has burdened Ireland
in the past, and then consider that af
ter all, these laws had but one tenden
cythat of making still greater
concessions to Ireland, it seems in
conceivable folly in the British state
men to continue in their stubborn
course. If England hah only to deal
with the Irish in Ireland there might
be a remote chance of success. Past
experience however ought to have
taught them, that in this national
struggle all the Irish men scattered ov
er the whole world take a hand and
that coercion will not only increase the
embittered feeling in Ireland but n
rouse tho genuine sympathy and
enthusiasm of the Irish in foreign
countries, who in their desire to see
their countrymen freed Irom the Eng
lishS'okCjWill make the greatest sacrifi
ces aiul lend tho most effective help
to accomplish this end.
Oonviot Labor Froducta.
Convicts must he employed. One of
tli6 common incentives to crime is i lie
loye of idleness and hatred of honest la
luir, and labor is the best possible re
formatory punishment for most crimin
als, besides teaching them habits and
methods of industry which may be use
ful to tneiu when discharged from pris
son. Besides, crime is a heavy tax on
the honesty of the land, and convict
labor should be made to contribute
something to the cost of its support.
But there is no necessity for so using
convict labor as to destroy,or even seri
ously impair any of our productive in
dustries. Our penitentiaries should
not be converted into great mills ol
factories to develope the highest per
fection of labor-saying machinery and
the greatest cheapness of product.
Such use of our prisons is neither just
nor practicable. It is not the place to
develope the highest mechanical skill,
and there is no propriety in the State
employing skilful machinists, etc. out
side of her prisons, to cheapen the prod
uct of convict labor.
We regard the protest against the in
troduction of the uest perfected ma
chinery for the manufacture of mats
and matting in the Western Penitenti
ary as entirely justfied. It is shown by
carefully prepared and reliable data on
the subject that if the Legislature shall
make the appropriation asked for, and
thus convert a large portion of the
Western Penitentiary into a great man
ufacturing establishment, it would ab
solutely destroy every other establish
ment of the kind in the country. The
fact that the industry is not a large one,
is no answer to the objection. Large
or small it is a legitimate and well-es
tablished productive industry, protected
by our tariff laws, which admit the raw
material free and impose a duty upon
the manufactured article; and there is
no reason why it should be destrojed
by converting our prisons into mills
and factories. Give our convicts work;
hard work and pleuty of it, but peni
tentiaries are not the places for the de
velopment of the best labor-saving ma
chinery and the cheapest industrial
product.— Philadelphia Times.

Blaine and Bodwell.
A Little Incident Which Proves
that Mr. Blaine is Out of
Politics.
Portland, Me., Special to the New York Times.
Nothing which has occurred in Maine
for some time has caused so much com
ment and criticism as the vetoing of
the medical registration bill by Govern
or Bodwell. The bill was to prevent
quacks and incompetent persons from
practicing medicine without passing an
examination. The Governor regarded
it as a proper bill, si gned it and sent it
to the Secretary of State'* office for
record. That very night Mr. Blaine
had the Governor and Attorney Gener
al Baker in his study.
"You must veto that medical bill,"
thundered Mr. Blaine. "Its passage
means the loss of 10,000 votes to us.
We can't stand that. Every spiritual
ist would yote against us. The bill
must and shall be vetoed," saidthe dis
tinguished son of Maine.
"But I have signed it," remarked the
subdued Governor.
"That makes no difference. A yetoe
must be written, taking a constitution
al ground against the principles of the
measure. Baker will prepare the yetoe
message for you. I am too excited to
write it myself."
That settled it. The Governor's
name wag scratched from the bill, the
record of his signature wiped out and
the vetoe message sent into the Senate.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular correspomVnt.)
WASHINGTON, April 11, issT.
During the Democratic Administra
tion many of tho musty regulations
willi which Republican official life had
hedged itself in have been overhauled,
and Where there was no good reason for
their existence,have been discontinued.
Thev have not all been relegated to the
past however. The rule which closes
the Government Department buildings
to visitors at two o'clock is still in
force, much to the inconvenience of
strangers.
It is a serious disappointment to vis
itors here only for a few days, and try
ing to get as much sight-seeing as pos
sible into that time, to be shut out at
so early an hour from so many places of
interest. They feel, and have a right
to feel, that in a people's Government
the people's convenience ought to be
considered a little,ami thai they should
be given what pleasure they can got
from the corridors, eleva'ors, museums
and curiosity rooms of the buildings as
long as they are open for business.
Speaking of sight-seeing in the De
partments, I often think how monoton
ous must be the daties of those officials
who are delegated to exhibit the ob
jects of interest to visitors. But they
show wonderful freshness about the
time-worn business. There is nothing
perfunctory about the man who ex
hibits the rogues' gallery, or the piles
of counterfeit money, or the secret ser
vice room, ami only a person who has a
party of friends to escort him there a
bout once a year can realize how many
times he has told the same tilings over,
yet always with at: unfailing brightness
of expression and quaintness of humor.
Senator Coekrell's investigat ing com
mittee (the Senate Select Committee
which is now probing the methods of
work in tho different ExecutiveDeuart
ments of the Government) has under
taken a gigantic task, but it wi'l make
an elaborate report of its labors some
time in the future. The Missouri Sen
ator is a very conscientious, pains-tak
ing man. and he is giving the public of
fices much annoyance ami no little un
easiness. lie wants to kumv (you
know) and the number of things the
public don't know and that Senator
Cockrell will have a great deal of
trouble in finding out, is autonirihing.
The complaint is olten made now
that there is too much "red tape," and
that the employes of the Government
have very few hours to work, and very
little work within those hours as com
pared witli persons employed in similar
capacities by private business concerns.
Hut such annoying features are insep
arably connected with the theory of
Government work. It must be put
through by processes as nearly mechaiir
ical as possible, so that the death or re
moval of a clerk may not throw the en
tire office out of gear, and so that the
dishonesty of anyone employe will he
discovered when the work on which he
practiced is turned over to another for
the next stage of its progress.
All this involves the reduction of
business to infinite detail and its dis
tribution among a uiuititudo qf ppoule.
If Senator Cockrell and his committee
can find away of simplifying these pro
cesses their discovery will be warmly
welcomed. The results of their labor
cannot fail to be of value and will cer
tainly be of interest, abounding in in
formation which, to the general public
is now in the nature of a sealed book.
The committee is not expected to
pass judgement upon the civiJ service
law, but incidentally the operations of
the law vvi'l come under the purview of
the committee, and the latter will he
expected to answer such questions as
tlie following ; Js the Government any
better served—the public business more
rapidly expedited, the morals or the
methods of the several Departments in
any respect tlie gainer—now that what
is called the "spoils system" has been
done away with ?
It is a matter of no small importance.
The people are told that the civil service
law, in its classified application,is work
ing wonders of reform, but they have
only hearsay evidence to that effect.
They are assured that it is doing away
with a great deal of favoritism, relieving
the appointing power of much embar
rassment, purifying the channels of
patronage, and elevating the standard
of clerical merit. They are interested
in knowing whether civil service re
form is really all that its friends olajm,
or whether it is a sham and a humbug
as its enemies insist. Senator Cock
rell's committee, with so good i\\\ op
portunity could find out all about it.

Great Increase of European
Emigration.
The revival of trade in the United
States and Canada has led to a sub
stantial increase in the pioportious of
the emigration from Europe. So pro
nounced is this that nearly all the At
lantic lines have issued notices to their
agents to stop booking for the present.
The special feature of this position is
that numbers of mechanics are going
out, especially bricklayers, plasterers
and masons, from Scotland, Wales and
the northern districts of England, in
response to advices from the other side,
that good openings are now presenting
themselves to craftsmen of that kind.
The general prospects of the emigra
tion trade art equally brisk. The Ger
man lines are understood already fully
booked, and a considerable accession to
the number ofGermans passing through
Liverpool is expected. .Swedes also,
.Hid Norwegians are fully to the fore.
Altogether the emigration trade of the
current season Is ruoie brisk than at
any time during the previous seven
years, and the prospects point to a long
period of activity.
