Vriou circuuistuueo lmvc conspired, to At tract an uuuximl ileRroo of attoutlon to in dustrial question, mid (IIhciissIoiis of the Klht Hour Movement, tHrike. Co-operation, Free Trade, and Proltctton are awakening inereaed Interest. The uiimIih- of the ronntry has ;rii duallr been undergoing p"l'h ft eliatige tlmt ii eonsi'derablo anininit of capital 1m now neeooary to Insure the permanent Miepess of nearly all Important dow enterprises, and year after year the difficulty of advancing from ihe position of employe to employer increases. In former times it required little more effort for a journeyman to become a "bos" than fur nn apprentice to be come a journeyman; but now, since it is evident to many thousand of skilled laborers that in all human probability they will live and die in the scr .-ice of other, they naturally feel a deep in terest in all the problems connected with the association of capital and labor. Heretofore these problems have attracted infinitely more attention in Europe than in the United Stutes. There, laboring men have known for centuries that only u favored few of their numlier could beeonio employers. Farm work haa been done almost exclusively by tenants, and the labor connected with mechanical, mainl ine, uring, and mining pursuits has been per formed by men in the pay of capitalists. Intelli gent and aspiring European workmen have therefore based their hopes on emigration, or on the development of various phases of the .co operative movement, rather than on their Indi vidual ascension of the steep steps of the ladder of fortune. As a practical result, co-operation is much better understood and better regulated on the Continent and in England than in this country, and trades unions are in some respects more thoroughly organized. In England co operative stores designed to reduce the price of the provisions and clothing purchased by opera tives have been wonderfully successful; and in France and Germany many opportunities have been offered to workmen to obtain a small joint interest in the establishments where they arc employed. In the United States the necessity of similar organizations has never yet been . generally recognized, but sundry attempts made in different portions of the country Indicate the drift of public sentiment, and foreshadow the time when many more of these cordial alliances of labor and capital will bo established. In all these movements the fact should be kept steadily in view that the doctrine that there is an irrepressible conflict between em ployers and employes is exploded. One of the highest aims of modern civilization is to recon cile and adjust the differences which, in a ruder age, resulted either in the unmitigated oppres sion of the children of toil or a series of brutal conflicts, and to establish harmony where here tofore either bloody discord or slavery pre vailed. It is by no means impossible, and scarcely improbable, that eventually this country will furnish the highest and best typos of co operation, and suggest the best modes of bridg ing over the yawuiug gulf between enterprising wealth and industrious poverty, as it has already furnished the working model of the only great aud powerfal republican govcrumeut of the age. As helps to tha end that should be kept steadily in view for the common good of ull concerned, two things should be carefully avoided false steps and free trade. We regard the movement in favor of a reduction of the time of labor to eight hours, with the under standing that ten-hours' pay is to be awarded for a diminished amount of toil, as a false step. It is manifestly unjust, and, like all other forms of injustice, it awakens feelings of resentmeut and provokes retaliation. It irritates employers, without benefitting any considerable number of those who arc employed. It also generates hopes which can never be realized. The best euro for poverty, and the only sure specific, is hard work. Men who wish to rise in the world, and to step forward even by slow degrees, will find their best reliance under any industrial system lit extra exertion. If all the men who now work ten hours per day adopt the eight-hour rule, it will be impossible to prevent a diminished pro duct or utilization of the bounties of nature, and diminished wages will be inevitable, either in the shape of a reduced number of dollars, or In the diminution of the purchasing power of a given amount of money. Free trade, or any such approximation to it as Is possible In the present financial coudition of the country, would exercise an equally deploru fclenfluenee upon the fortunes of skilled laborers as well as upon capital. Their prosperity de pends, in a large degree, upon the abundance of employment ttnd everything which tends to en trust to the manufacturers of other countries the commissions which can and should be executed here, acts and reacts, through a thousand rami fications, in a detrimental way, upon the em ployes as well the employers of the United States. American prosperity cau be estimated more accurately by the condition of the tariff than by any other single test, and a prime requisite of the continued well-being of the In telligent and skilful workmen of this country is their continued protection from the destruc tive influences of foreign competition. If Amer ica does all of her own work that she U capable of doing her skilled labor as well as her rude labor and does it thoroughly and Industriously half the difficulty of securing to the em ploye a liberal reward for his services will be overcome, and he will soon be able to devise measures for the investment of his surplus earnings in the business which he best understands. TUE rJilNCirLE OF ROTATION. Til a evil effects of wholesale removals from office are being generally discussed by the press, and ou all sides the principle of rotation in office is being condemned. Its advocates seek to counterbalance the arguments against its ex pediency by citing the almost universal demand on the part of the Republican journals of the country for a change in the pr mound of the Federal offices at the beginning of the new ad ministration. Hoping thus to bolster up tho rotation system, a .Vashlngton correspondent eudeavors to show that tho number of removals has not been excessive iu 1 roportion to the de mands of the very journals that now condemn the principle Involved, aud gives an elaborate table setting forth the number of removals of ac cessor, and collectors of Internal revenuo 11 each State In the Union. Altogether the numjr ol such officials reaches 483, and up to tho rlrMe of April 119 assessors and 133 collectors bal been displaced by President Grant a total of 21, o' just one-half of the entire number I In so:ne of tho loading States, such as Ohio, Indian, Illi nois, and Massachusetts, changes have b.sci made In not more than one-third of tho offlcas, whilo In other States the removals have been even more unfrequent. Of this latter das New Jersey presents a notable Instance, only two of tho ten revenue officers within its border, having tlms far been disturbed. This inequality, of course, involves a disproportionate share of removals in the other States. In the South the axe has been especially active, and almost a clean sweco has been made; while in the two greatest Statos in tho Union, Pennsylvania and New York, the proportion of removals has been very large. Of tho 48 assessors and collectors in Pennsylvania, 84 -more than two-thirds- have been changed, 18 assessors and lfi collectors having given place to President Grant's ap pointees. Iu New York there are 01 assessors nnd collectors; and 19 of the former and 10 of the lotter a total of 'io, or more than one-half have been ousted. Thus in about one month's time full half of the vast machinery for the collection of the in ternal revenue has undergone a total transfor mation, involving the removal of not less than S000 persons, nnd the appointment of an equal number iu their place. To appreciate the mag tude of the Interests involved in this illustration of tho practical workings of the rotating system, we must glance at the figures representing the amount of money which passes every year through the hands of this official brigade, and remember that iu tho case of nearly every new appointee a man entirely Inexperienced in the business has the people In his power. That the great majority of the persons entrusted with the collection of the revenue by the President, di rectly and Indirectly, have entered upon the discharge of their responsible duties with un acknowledged reputation for honesty, we hope we are justified iu believing. That a correspondingly great majority of those whose opportunities for plunder have been terminated availed themselves of these opportunities to the fullest extent, we are forced to believe. The im mediate removal of all such officials was not only justifiable, but necessary, and their retention iu office would have been a downright outrage upon the people who have so long been their victims. But just here lies the point of the argument in favor of a radical reform in our civil service. The mere fact that any rcasos-able-minded person can justify the removal of 3000 officials in a single branch of the govern mental Bervice within a single month, on the ground either of expediency or necessity, shows how Inherently wrong is the system which has become fastened upon the nation. If ordinary business discretion and care had been taken in the original filling of these offices, as tho world goes for honesty and capacity, not one change in twenty would have been cither necessary or expedient. It is simply because honesty and capacity were not made the tests of qualification in the first instance, that people who desire to see these elements of character imparted to our civil service can look with com placency upon these wholesale removals. And Bimply because honesty and capacity have not been, and could not be, made the sole tests of qualification in all the appointments of Presi dent Grant, our present civil service, with all the improvi nieut it displays when brought into com parison with its rottenness under the last administration, is far below that of almost every other civilized government in respect to the ele ments of purity and efficiency. The whole trouble results from the application of the ini quitous maxim that "To the victors belong the spoils." When we ure thoroughly and entirely rid of this Jacksonlan legacy, and not until then, may we anticipate a change for tliu better; and the only way in which we cun be rid of it is by the establishment, by authority of Congress, of a regular civil service, modelled upou that of England, France, and the other countries of Europe. THE MIXMANA CEMENT COLLEGE. OF O HARD The charge to the Grand Jury which was de livered yesterday by Judge Allison is full of matter of Information and importance to every citizen of Philadelphia, and it is well calculated to attract the attention of all who are interested in our public institutions, and especially in the administration of the valuable trusts hold by the city. The suicide of Twitehcll was dwelt upon by Judge Allison for the purpose of forcibly illustrating the necessity of a more criti cal examination of the management of the County Prison and similar insti tutions than has been given heretofore, nnd the Judge very properly alluded to the im propriety of the officers and managers being notified of the day and hour when the Grand Jury might be expected to visit them. Of course In a matter of this kind It Is of the first Import ance thut the Grand Jury should be able to ob tain a correct idea of the usual routine, and not be conducted through corridors, cells, and work shops that have been arranged especially for their inspection. Tho mere liability to visits at any time from the Grand Jury will have a ten dency to make the manager more careful and vigilant, nnd will conduce to better discipline. The most important part of Judge Allison's charge, however, is thut which refers to the disgraceful mismanagement of Girard College. This institution, which ought to bo a prido and ornament to tho city of Philadelphia, has been, of late years at least, little else than a public scandal and disgrace. Its management has fallen iuto the hands of politician', of the lowest grade, who think of nothing aud care for nothing but to use the power and Influence of Glrard's noble bequest for their own selfish aggrandisement. It is true that there are gentlemen connected with its Board of Managers and iu other capacities whoso integ rity cannot be impeached, but they have long since been disgusted with their associates, and, iu despair of ever being able to accomplish uuy thlug beneficial for tho Institution, are anxious to free themselves from the discredit which attaches to any connection with the political wire-pullers with whom they are thrown In com pany; and they arc only restrained from doing so because tlioy feel that it is more than ever necessary that there should be some honest men on hand to watch tho rogues. Judge Allison's statements with regard to tho Internal management of Girard College are cal culated to excite tho Indignation of every right- minded citizen of Philadelphia. The crueltie practised towards the boys by confinement in cold, dark, and filthy cclU are not only dis graceful In themselves, but they reflect In the strongest inauncr upon tno general mismanage ment of this noble charity by those who ought to have the greatest interest lu carrying out In letter and spirit the benevolent intentions of it founder. Tho experience of the past, however, has taught us that it is usoless to expect any im provement asmattcrs now stand. Our only hope for a proper administration of the trusts held by the el'y is in tho law which was passed by the Legis lature at Its last session, but which still awaits the pignsturc of tho Governor. If he has signed it, no notification of the fact has been made. This bill was one of the few entirely commenda ble measures that engaged tho attention of the Legislature, and it was endorsed by every news paper of influence in Philadelphia, without dis tinction of party; nnd every citizen who takes the slightest interest in the various institutions which are affected by its provisions felt that by it itlono could we possibly obtain an honest nnd creditable administration of the public trusts. The measure met witli no opposition whatever, except from those who are directly interested in Maintaining the present disgraceful state of affairs as set forth in Judge Allison's charge to the Grand Jury, and it should long ago have re ceived the approval of the Governor. We hope that the Grand Jury will make a careful and thorough examination of the mutters connected with the libido management of Girard College, to which their attention was called by tho Judge, and, if there is any possibility of doing so, inalio such n. presentment as will bring the guilty partiea to justice. In the meantime the Governor, if he has not already done so, ought, without furtbedelay, to sign the import ant law passed by the Legis'lature, so that it may go into operation. The present disgraceful state of aflairs ought certainly not to be permit ted lo continue a moment longer than necessary. Tub Ritualistic; Pkrfokmam k.s which took place at Christ Church, New York, on Monday morning, certainly surpassed anything of the kind yet indulged in at St. Aldan's. If tho latter establishment does not exert itself, the glory of fantastic worship will depart from It orever. SPECIAL NOTICES. ffcjjr FOR THE SUMMER.
