T ie Mills bill has been ohangei lu lome
Ue'alls la tbe eatitsa of the long debate, but
these changes have net ellected Ita general
plan. Tbe mere closely it la examined,
new (bat His cotnpleted, the mere clearly
will It be seen by workmen tban Ita plan
li sound and that their Intereata bare been
carelully looked alter ; that the changes It
makes sre extremely tnoderato, with a
view te the Rt neral welfare, and an equally
careful do'.ermlnatleu te all aet Injuriously
no established and legitimate Industry ora era ora
pleying many work people.
Its fundamental Idea Is te Increase the
prosperity et the people at large, and espe
cially el tbose engaged in the manufactures
wbere labor forms a large part el the eca t
of tbe produel by making Important raw
materials duty tree, and at the same time
keeping up the protect! ve duty en tbe man.
u fact u red products
in thi: wenr.KN induhthv.
Thus, wool is made duty lroe, and that
partel tbe duty en woolen goeJs which
was laid te counterbalance the wool duty is
atilckencir; but the duty en all manufac
tures of woeltns Is placed bu high that the
actual protection te this branch of industry,
which emp'eys large numbers of people, is
In every c ise some what higher than under
the present tarlil. Ifthobillbeeumoaalaw
it will result that tbe wonlen manufacturers
and their workmen will be belter Rble te
command the home market than under the
present tarlil, and they will be able, with
their raw materlul free, tot z pert largely.
The Mills bill will, therefore as all woolen
manufacturers knew who have candidly
examined It wool Bchrdule give a great
impetus te the woolen business. It will
immeusely bemlit the workpeople in the
woolen industry.
The same la true of many ether Indus
tries, Fer Inslauce, lumber Is made duty
free. It pan twenty per cent under the
present land', and this duty en a prime
necessary of life has created n set of lumber
klnus iu this country. At the same time
(Bblnet and heuse furniture, and the whole
Hue of manufactures of weed or weed and
iron combined, such rb cars and carriages,
sashes, doers and blind?, beat", A;, are re
duced llve per cent from the rales In the
present tarlil'. Such a itductlen against a
twenty percenf. reduction in their raw ma
terial, lu fact, gives the workmen in theso
industries higher pretectlrn than the pres
ent tarlir, and should glve them, as it
should the woolen operatives, better wages
and mero steady employment.
Se, again, nopper ero H made free In the
Mills bill, It new bears a duty or seventy
per cent , n monstrous duty, which has
enriched a number of copper lords In the
Michigan mines. Mr. Ilrewne, a Republi
can and protectionist member of Congress
from Indiana, said In bis tarlil' Bpeoeh that
he would make fepper ero free "as qnlck
as lightning." Hut manufactures of brass,
in which the labor la a large part et the cost
of the product, are reduced only Uve per
cent., and the Ingenious workmen In that
industry will under the Mllla bill get larger
wages and steadier employment unless
their employers are selfish enough te grab
the whelti ad haulage. Manufactures of
copper are unchanged.

The cry of " free trade " which the Re
publicans have set up against the Mills
bill is aeen la these Instances and cenld be
shown In ethers te bave net the least
ground. It Is just llke the cry of "Abo
litionist " which the pre slavery Demo

NO INDUSTllV TO UK nKSTItOVEn.
It Is Impossible te go through the whole
taritl item by item, because the protection
ists have made the high tarlil se extraordi
narily complex that It Is Imposslble for n
common Intelligence te understand It, and
no one expert even pretends te understand
mero than a single schedule. Jlut It Is In
the general plan of the bill te reduce the
very high duties en the common articles of
daily ue, aud thus relleve the great mass
of me people from a part of tuu burden
which they have been forced by the ex
treme protectionists te bear, Ise one can
exunlne tbe present taritl without seeing
that It la Ingeniously coutrlved se as te lay
the highest duties en thee articles which
are of universal use, and the lowest duties
which only the wealthier classes use.
Rut nowhere is any duty se cut down as
to'"de9trey" an established and logltlraate
industry as has been pretended by tbe op
ponents of the bill.
Any werklngman who will read evor the
list abeve given el Industries en which the
duty basnet been lowered or changed from
the present aud of otbera whleh have been
reduced only because their raw material
has been madofree, will see hew carefully
tbe real Interests of worklngmen have
been guarded In tbe Mills bill and bow
absurd and false Is tbe cry of "froe trade"

was n large crowd present, Bnd a game
with n clese score was expected. This

a very geed game, allowing tbe
Athletics but six bits, whlle cloven

Actlvea put up a geed fielding game, as
they usually de, and the players did net
grew fast te any of tbe bases. The
Athletic loam tlelded miserably. Their
Infield made seme ugly orrem, while
tliose in the outfield who received
chances did but little better. The Athletics
seem te be very peer fielders, and their
errer columns are very " fat" each game.
The Active club has net lest a game tbla

MORE PEOPLE THAN FISH.

Tbe Hsnli at the Sets Did Met
llrleg What Was Eiptrted.
Heme tlme age It waa Riven out that tie
large milt dam or Lein Shirk, en a
small creek, whleu empties Inte the
Conestoga, near Oregon, would be drained
and seined. This dam was stocked with
bln:k bass some years age, and it waa re
ported te be otie:k full of the largest and
finest fish of that kind in the county.
Everybody In that neighborhood seemed te
be impressed with that idea, but they
probably think dlllerently new.
The dam is very large and near the breast
Is quite deep. Saturday morning tbe gate,
at the breast, was lifted and about ten feet
of water ran oil. Tbe dam could net be
emptied in Ibis way, however, and tbe
water remained at least ten feet deep at tbe
bieast. The llshlng did net commence
until between one and two o'clock In the
afternoon. By that tlme between 1,500
and 2,000 persons had gathered at the dam.
They came from all puts et the upper end
and Lancaster city was largely reprosentod.
People drove In all kinds or conveyances
te the place and tbcre were milts et
teams standing along the read a in
tbe vicinity. l'rem seme towns
and villages omnibuses wero run
te the dam aud the number of ladles en the
grounds was very laige. The people
fleckod along both aherea of the dam and
covered the breast like 11 lea. Whonever a
haul would be made they would rush down
te tbe banks and crowd the fishermen In
their attempt te see tbe game. Numbers of
men, with "store clothea" en, rushed wildly
Inte mud te tbelr knees In their
frantle cllerts te get near the place
or landing for the Ush. The principal lim
ing was dene with a boIeo 14 yards long,
which had been neon red in Wrightavllle,
byAbaKoller. Paul Read, of Columbia,
one cf the best known tishormen along tbe
Susquehanna, waa present and superin
tended the hauling of the sslne. Andrew
Cegley, his son Jehn, and ether men of
this city, assisted In tbe work. The fishing
was kept up until C o'clock In the afternoon.
The large selne was run from ene Blde of
the stream te tbe ethor many times, but the
number or fish taken was a great disap
pointment te the crowd. At ene haul a
bushel basket full was soeurod, and that
was tbe largest of tbe day. Soveral tlmes
but ene and two fish wero taken. The
catch would undoubtedly have been much
larger had it net been for the great drpth
of the water at the dam breast It waa
lmposBlbleforuien te wade it at that point
and with beats tbey were unable te get the
seine down sufficiently low. It Is believed
that large numbers et llsh were driven te
tbe breast nnd racaped being caught
Theso who expected te sce large num
bers of bass caught were sorely disap
pointed. Thore may bave been baai
in the dam at one time, but if tbey
wero tbere en Saturday tbey were very
successful In eluding tbe fisherman. Dur
ing tbe day net mere tban a hair dozen
bass wero taken, The fish captured were
principally suckers and small "cat Hep."
In addition te tbe large selne tbere was
anotherln tisolnthedam. It waamannedby
a number of men el tiu) neighborhood, who
remained in ahallew water and caught but
very few bah. They kept yelling and
splashing around In the water aU'afternoen
and several tlmes almost bagged a fleck
et whlte ducks and a crowd of small boys,
who were wading In the mud.
Thore wero far mero poeplo at the dam
than thore were fish caught, but tbose hav
ing charge of tbe fishing bad made tbe
most com plote arrangements for watching
and dividing the fish. A committee for
this purpose was appointed befere anything
els3 was done, and It consisted et :
Jacob L HesH, Clem Bushong, M.
Ilallacber, Isaac H. Landls, II, P.
Krlck, Abe Keller, M. Ii. Weldler, J.
M. Hexi, Wilsen Bard, A. A. Shadier, D. I.
Kemper, M. Miller, Kd. Trlssler, Jehn
Bchaum, A. C Wtlchans and M, Barten.
As last B9 the Ush were taken from the
seine they were placed in large tanka,
which looked llke street sprinklers and
steed en either slde of the creek. A portion
et the commltteo sat en tbose Innks, without
moving, all day and they are certain noeno
get away with any of the tlsb after they had
once been glven Inte tbelr charge.
Tbe mede of dlyldlng the fish was ar
ranged long befere the soloing began, and
it waa this way. Each man who desired a
Bbare agreed te contribute tbe sum of
twonty-llve cents. Tbe money thus raised
was te conatltute n fund te stock
the dam with German carp, Every
body Beomed anxious te get a string of
fish and tbe majority of poeplo thought
tbey were getting a ritre bargain at 2j cents
eECh. All wero eager te contribute this
aum and Boen 110 natnei wero en the
paper, and that number et quarters were In
the pocket of Squire Ilyup, who aoled as
tteasurer. This meant that at the close, In
order te make a correct "dlvy," 410
piles of almost eqial size, would
have te be made. Many poraens who
had contributed became disgusted at tbe
small catch of fiih and left fur home long
befere the aeinlng was btepped. Shortly
after & o'clock when It was announced that
tbe fish were tu be counted, many farmers
who had net bought any meat for a long
time lu tbe hope et getting a big supply of
tlub en this occasion, could be seen going te
tbelr buggies and drawing therefrem large
three bukbel bags in whch te place tbelr
shares. Tbelr surprlse can be imagined
when each rccslvcd three fish as their por
tion. The malerlty of tbe crowd were dis
appointed, and many gave tbelr fish away,
belcg aibamed te take thorn home. The
ttllalr waa very suucesiful In drawing a
large crowd, but elberwl e It wai a big
failure
Among the men who fared tbe beat at
tithing were the hucksters from this elty,
'Ibeyencted qulte a number of stands and
disposed of large quantities of lemonade,
Ire cream, peanuts, iVe, The water waa
plenty In tbe neighborhood and as the
dealera were net S3 particular about tbe
number of lemons used they ome out away
ahead. While the great crowds lined tbe
banks and tbe dam was filled with fisher
men, Johnny Hubley, photographer, with
a great deal of business outerprlso sue
090 tied In taking a number of pictures tf
the asene from tbe hill near by.

Tbe recoil t Interviews et the Chicago
Times will alTerd fome Indication et the
change that Is working among the farmera
of Illinois. The following are Interviews
with farmers In Douglas county :
James Green (Rep) I have always been
a Republican, but miself and three sons
will vete the Prohibition ticket this year.
I cannot Indorse the view a of the Ropublt Republt Ropublt
ean platform, and conseauently go te the
Prohibitionists. It will be tbe coming
fiarty, and Is bound te Biiceced the Ropub Repub
Irene. JudgoJebn Brown (Rep.) Atler read
ing the Republic ii platform carefully I
havoeomo te the conclusion that tbe free
whisky and tobacco clause Is carrying tbe
thing tee far and I caunet support it It
should be repudiated by all scnslble tnen.
I have been a farmer and a Republican for
a great many yeara
Rebert Uermack (Rep.) 1 have always
been a Republican, but tbe Prohibition
will be the future party. It will leach
the Republicans a lessen In the coming
campaign. It will be the ellert of all Pre.
hlblllenista te sce tbe Republican party go
te the wall In this election, proving that
our party will step into its place In ISIti
Cyrus Brndlove (Hep.) I am net with
the Republicans en the tarlir, and con
sequently, will have te go te the Democrats.
I even go further tbau the majority et
the Demecrats or lis platform, inasmuch as
I want te tee froe trade.
Jehn Dare (Hep.) I have been n Re
publican for iwenty years, but have oemo
te the conclusion that that party Is wrong
en the tarlil question, The tarlir should be
reduced materially.
Frank Prletiard (Rep.)-I have Blways
been for high tarlil, but reading and obser
vation convlnce me that low taritl la what
we want Dear feed end clothing and cheap
whisky and tobirce will net win. I bave con
cluded that the Demecrats are right.
Ilenry Hansen (Hep.) Ilorenfter 1 will
be found supporting tbe Democrats en the
tarlil. 1 believe Cleveland will be elected
en that Issue, aud that Palmer will carry
the Btate.
R. E. II. Weslfall (Ben.) It soems te be
a roregene conclusion mat uieveianu win
be elected. He has made n geed president,
and 1 bollevo he Is right en ttie tarlfl ques
tion. I have been a Kopubllcauever since
that party was formed, but I cannot Bup Bup
pert tbe froe whisky and tobacco plank,
which lneana dear feed and clothing.

Washington, July 2X The president
te-day sent the following communication
te Congress :
Te the Congress et the United States :
Pursuant te the second Bectlcn et ohapter
27 of the lawa of 18S.I, entitled ' an act te
regulate and Imprnve the civil service of
the United States," I herewith transmit tbe
fourth report of the Unlted States civil ser
vice commission, covering the period he he he
twoen theslxteenth day el January, 1SS0,
anu the first day of July, 1SS7. While tbla
repot t has ospeclal loferonca te the opera
tions et the commission during the period
abeve mentioned it contains with Its accom
panying appendices mueh valuable Infor Infer Infor
matlen concerning the Inception of civil
service referm and Ita growth and progress
which cannot fall te be interesting and In
structive te all who deslre improvement In
administrative methods.
During the time oevored by Iho ropett,
fifteen thousand eight hundred and tlfiy tlfiy
twe persons wero. examlned for admission
in the classified civil service et the govoru gevoru goveru
mont in all Its branches ; of whom ten thou
sand aoTen hundred and forty six passed
the examination, and Hve thousand ene
hundred and six failed. Of theso who
passed tbe examination two thousand nlne
bund red and soventy seven were appli
cants for admission te the departmental
aervlce at Washington, twenty five huu huu
dred nud forty-sevon wero oximlned for
admission te the customs sorvlce, and flve
thousand two hundred and twenty two for
admission te the postal servica, During
luuHime porieu uve nunured and for ty ty ty
boveu appointments were made from the
ellglble lists te the departmental Borvlce
six hundred and forty-eno te the customs
service, and three thousand two hundred
end fifty-four te the postal sotvleo,
T1IOSIG NOT UN l) Kit Tlir. LAW.
Concerning separations from the classi
fied servlec, the report only Informs us of
such as have occurred among ompleyos In
Iho publle sorvlce who had been appointed
from oliglble lists under oivilservleo rules,
When these rules took eirect they did net
apply te the persons then In the Borvlce,
comprising a full complemont of empleyes
who obtalned thelr positions Indopendoutly
of the new law. The commission has no
iccerd of tbe separations in this numerous
class, Bnd the dliorepancy appirent In the
rejert between the number otappelntmonlB
made in the roapectlvo branches of tbe nor
vice from tbe lists et the commission, and
the small number of separations montlenod,
Is, le a great oxtent, aoeountod for by
vacancies of which no repert was made te
tbe commission, occurring among theso who
bold tbelr places without examination and
certification, which vacancies wero lllled by
appeintment irem tne engime list;.
In the departmental Borvlce thore 03 03
curred between tbe sixteenth day of Jan
uary, lSSil, and the thlrtleth day of June

and five deaths, 'J his does net Include
feurteen separations In the grade et spe

tbose who rccelved absolute appointments
under civil aervlce rules are glven for the
period botween the 1st day of January,
18SG, and the 30th day of June, 1S-J7. It
appears that such (separations In the cus

braced 21 removal, H deaths and 13 res
ignations, and in tbe postal sorvleo 250 re
movals, li deathi', and 1C0 resignations.

More tban a yesr has passed slnce the ox ex ox
plratlen of tbe period covered by the re ro re
eort el the commission. Within the tlme
whleh has thus elapsed many Important
changes have taken pluoe lu furtherance of
a reform In our civil service. The rules
and regulations governing the exocutlen of
the law upon tbn subject have been com
pletely remodeled In such manner as te
render tbe enforcement et the atatute morn
ollcetlvo and greatly Increase Its usbful
ncm. Among ether things, the Hoepo of the
examinations prescribed for tliose whoseek
te onter the olasaltied sorvlce lias been
better defined and made mere practical, the
number of names te be certified from tbe
ellglble Hats te the appointing olllcers from
which a aeloctlen la made has been roduced
from four te three, the maximum limitation
of the age of persons seeking ontrance 10 the
classified aervlce te forty five years has
been changed, and reworiaule prevision Ins
been made for the transfer of em ployes from
ene department te another In preper casts.
A plan has baen devlss 1 providing for tbe
examination et applicants for promotion In
the service, which, when in full operation,
will eliminate all chances of favoritism In
the advancement of; empleyes, by making
promotion a reward of merit and faithful
discharge of duty.
rutll within a few woeka thore was 1 e
uniform classification of empleyes In the
dlllarent executive dopartments of the gov
ernment. As a result of this condition In
sumo departments positions could be ob
tained without civil sorvlce examination
because tbey were net within Iho classifica
tion of such department, whlle In ether de de do
parteonts an examination and certification
were necessary te obtain position of the
aame grade, because Mich positions were
embraced In the classifications applicable te
thore departments.
The exception of laberers, watchmen,
and messengers from examination and
classification gave opportunity, In the ab ab ab
tonceot any rule guarding against It, for
the employment, fioe from civil service
restrictions, of iersens under these desig
nations who were ImmeJIately detailed 10
de clerical work.
All this has been obviated by the sppll
catien te all tbe departments of an ex
tended and uniform classification embrac
ing grades of empleyes net thoreteforo In
cluded and by tbe adoption efa rule pre.
limiting thedetall et laborers, watchmen,

The path of civil service reform has net at
a'l tlmes beeu pleasant nor easy. The
sope and purpose of the reform bave been
much mlsupprehendcd j and this has net
only glven rise te strong opposition, but
bus led te Its invocation by Us friends te
compass objects nettu the leist rela'.ed te It
Thus partisans of tbe patronage syatem
naye naturally condemned it Ttose who
de net understand Its meaning either mis
trust It or when disappointed because In
its prosent stsge it Is net applied te
every real or Imaginary 111, accuse
tbeae charged with Its onfercemont with
fallhiessneta te civil service referm. Its
Importance has frequently been underesti
mated ; and tbe support of geed men has
thus been lest by tbelr lack of interest in
its success. Resides all these dltllculties,
theso rospsnslble for the administration of
the governmeot In Ita exocullve branches
have been and still are often annoyed and
irritate! by the disloyalty te the aervica
and the lnsolence of empleye who lemaln
In place aa the boncfielarlca and tbe relics
and romlndera of the vicious syrtem of
appointment which civil servloe reform
was lntonded te dlBplr.ce.
And yet tbeae are but the Incidents or in
advance movemont which li radical ard
far-reaching. The psople are, notwith
standing, te be congratulated upon the
progress which has been made, and upon
the firm, practical and asnslbln foundation
upon which this reform newrests.
With a continuation et the Intelligent
fidelity which has hitherto characterized
the work of the commission, with n con
tinuation and Increase of the favor and lib
erallty whleh have lately been evlnced by
the Congress In the proper cqulpment of
the commission for Its work, with a firm
but conservative aud roaaeuablo support et
the referm by all ita frlends, and with the
disappearance of opposition which must In In
evltably fellow Its better understanding,

which It bad its origin.

has taken place for many yeara. The aky
was perfectly clear. The big round moo

and everybody continued te gaza upon the

seeing a great number or metoera, whleh

In nearly a horizontal direction.
At last the show began. Jnstabeut 11

OHSKllVATION AT SltOLL OUSKnVATORT-.
Prof. Kershner, the cellege astronomer,
noted the following : '
The sky was) elearand the atmosphere
qulte steady. The observatlena under,
taken wero simply for the purpose of get
ting the limes et tbe four pbaaea of the
ocllpse. Theso wero then compared with
the computed tlmes aa glven In the Ameri
can Hphetnerla. The first and last phase,
moon enters and leavos penumbra, given la
the alinanao,are net practically defined and
cannot be nbeerved. Here a note wai put
down at 10 hours 47 mlnutes, stating that
the light en thoeastern llmbef tbe moea
appeared te be of a reddish hue, which waa
about the first appearance of the penumbra
uotleed, although the moon really entered
the limits of the penumbra 61 mlnntea
earlier. The obiervatlena made give 10
hrs. f5 tl mln. for moon entera ahadew,
11 hrs. MO mln. for total eclipse begins,
13 hrs. 31 0 mln. for total eclipse ends, and
11 lira. 35.0 mln, ler moon letvea abadew.
These times are given In tbe 75!h or Phila
delphia time. Thodltlerenoe between the
observed and computed times as given In
the Nautical Almanac are 1,3 mln. 0.4
mln. 1. 1 mln. and 0 2 mln. Since the di
viding line between the abadew and tfca
penumbra (partial ahadew) la net eliMTly
dofined, tbe; calculations and comparison,
are net carrled out farther than te tentha of
minutes et lime. The observallona indl indl
