Washington, Dec 3. President Har rison's llrst message te Congress was read In both branches te-day. Following Is the full lext of the document : The Senate and Heuse of Jieprcxciiladvcf i Tuero are few transactions III the admin istration of the government that are even temporarily held in the confidence of tliose charged with the conduct of the public business. Every step taken Is under the observation or an Intelligent and watchful people. The stale of the Union Is known from day te day, and suggestions as te Heeded legislation tlnd an earlier veice than that which speaks In theso annual communications of the president te Con gress. Geed-will and cordiality have characterized our rolatlensand correspond ence with ethor governments, and the year Just closed has low Internal questions of importance remaining unadjusted. Ne obstacle is bollevcd te exist that can long postpeno the consideration and adjustment of the still pending questions upon satis factory and honorable tonus. The deal ings of this government with ether states has been atid should always be marked by frankness and sincerity, our purpese avowed and methods free from intrigue. Thiscourse hasborne rich fruit in the past and it is our duty as a nation te prcserve the horitage of geed repute which a cen tury of right dealing with foreign govern ments has secured te us. It Is a matter of high significance, and no less of congratu lation, that the flrst year of the second cen tury of our constitutional existence ilnds ns honored guests within our borders the representatives of all the independent states of North and Seuth America together in earnest coufercuco touching the bet methods of perpetuating and expanding the relations of mutual interest and friend liness existing among them. That the op portunity afforded for promoting closer In- 0 rnatienal rotations and the increased prosperity of the states represented will be used far the mutual geed for all 1 cannot permit myself te doubt. ()ui pcople will await with iutercst and con fidence the results te Hew from se auspic ious a meeting of allied and in large part identical interests. The recommendations of this international conference of enlight ened statesmen will doubtless have the conslderato attentien of Congress and its co-operation in the removal el unnecessary barriers te bcnctlcial iutorceurso between the nations of America; but whlle tlie commercial results which It is heped will fellow this cenference are worthy of pur suit and of the great interest they have excited, it Is' believed that the crowning benefit will be found in tliobettersocuritics hlch may be desired for the maintenance of peaee among all American nations and the settlement of all contentions by methods that a Christian civilization can approve Whlle viewing with Interest our national resources nnd products, the delegates will, J urn bure, find higher satisfaction in thu evidences of unselfish friendship which every whoie attend their intercourse with our ceple. rnu maiuiimi: cenituick. Anether International cenference having great possibilities for geed has lately as sembled and is new in session in this capital, An invitation was extended by the government under the act of Congress of July y, 1BSS, te all maritime nations te send dclogateslo confer touching the revi sion anU-auieudment of tire rules and regulations governing vessels at sea and te adept n uniform system ofmarine signals. The response te tills invitation has been very general and very cordial. Delegates from 20 nations are prcseut In the confer ence and tliey have entered upon their MMiful work with great zeal and with an evident appreciation of its importance. .Se far .as the agreement te be reached may require) legislation te glve it effect the co-operation of Congress is confident ly relied upon. It is an interesting fact tiiat the two international con ferences have brought together Iiore the Accredited representatives of thirty-three nations. Belivia, Ecuador and Honduras aie new roprnsented by resident envoys of ; the plenipotentiary grade. All the states of tlie American system new maintain diplomatic representation at this capital. In tliis connection it may be noted thai ull the nations of the Wcsteru Hemisphere with one exception sent te Washington envoys extraordinary and mlnlstorsplciii mlnlstersplciii mlnlstorsplciii jietoiitiary being tlie highest grade accredited te tills government. Tlie United Slates en the contrary send cneys of lewer grade te soine of our sister republics. Our representative in Paraguay and Uruguay is n minister ros res ros identwhilo te Belivia we send a minister resident and consul general. In view of the iuiMrtance of our relations witli the state, of the American system our diplo matic agcutH in tliose countries should be of the uniform rank of envoys extraordi nary and ministers plenipotentiary. Cer tain missions were se clevatcd by the last Congress with happy effect, and I recom mend the completion of the reform thus begun with the inclusion of Hawaii and Haytl, in vlew of their relations te the Atuerican system of states. 1 also recom mend that prevision be inade for extend ing te Hawaii an Invitation te be repre sented in tue international couierence new sitting at this capital. Our relatiens witli China have the atten tive consideration which their magnitude and interest demand. The failure of the treaty negotiated under the administration of my predecessor for the further and mero i-omplete restriction of Chinese labor Im migration and with it the legislation of tlie last session of Congress dspcndciit therceu loave seme questions open which Congress should new approach in that wlse and Just spirit which should characterize the rela tions of two great and friendly powers. Whlle our supreme Interests demand tlie exclusion of a laboring element which expericnen has shown te be lucomtlhle with our social life, all steps te oeiiihiss this Imperative need should be accom panied .with a recognition of the claim of theso strangers new lawfully among us te humane and Just treatment. Tlie accession of the young emperer of China marks, wn may hope, an era of progress and pros perity for the great country ever which he is called te rule. mf. pA.MOAN IMUUOuMO. The present state of affairs In respect te the Sameau Islands is encouraging.

TliU irojel- 81. lien was accepted and the conference In Feb ruary last was pursuant te the understand ing thus reached.

I trust that the efforts which have been innde le effect an adjustment of this quostlen will be pre ductlvoef the twrmancnt establishment of law and order in Samoa upon the basis of the maintenance of the right and Interests of the Uatlves as well as of the treaty powers. The questions which have arisen the past few years between Great Britain and the United States nre In abeyance or In course of amicable adjustment. On the ittrt of the government of the Dominion or Canada an effort has been apparent during the Bcasen JuM ended te administer the law and reg illations applicable te the tlshories with a llttle occasion for friction aa was xsslble and the temperate representations or this government In respect te cases of undue hardships nnd of harsh Interpretations have been in most case met with measures ortransltery relief. It Is trusted that the attain men t or our Just rlghtsundcr existing treaties and by virtue or the concurrent legislation or the contiguous countries will net be long deferred, that all existing cases or difference may be equitably adjusted. I recommend that prevision be made by an International Agreement for visibly marking the water boundary between the United States and Canada In the narrow channels that loin the great lakes. The conventional line therein traced J by the Northwestorn boundary survey years nge is net In all cases readily ascertainable for the settlement ofjurlsdlctienal quostleus. DELATIONS WITH nn.VZU.. The president proceeds te discuss the questions pending bctwoen this gov gev (irnmcnt and tlie various foreign powers, all of which he says are being considered in a most friendly manner. Referring te Brazil he says: "The recent revolution in Brazil In Taver or the establishment of n republican form or trovcrnment is an event of great interest te tlie United States. Our minister at Rie de Janeiro was at ouce In structed le maintain frlendly dlpoleihatia relations with the previsional government and the Brazilian representatives at the capital wero Instructed by the previsional government te continue their functions. Our friendly Intercoutse with Ilrazll has therefore suffered no Interruption. Our minister has been rurther instructed te ox ex tond en the part of this government a for mal and cordial recognition of tlin new rn- public se seen as the ntajeritv of thopeeplo of Ilrazll shall havoslgmned'thcirassonl te its establishment and maintenance." CONDITION- Ol' DOMKSTIO AFPAIItS. Continues tlie president: "Within our own borders a gcnerul condition of pros perity prevails. The harvests or the last summer wcre exceptionally abundant and the trade conditions new prevailing seem te premiso a successful season te the merchant and the manufacturer and general employment te our working people." Quoting from the report of the secrelary the treasury the president says: "The aggregate receipts lrem all seurces for the year wero ?3S7,050,058.8l, derived as fol fel fol eows: Frem customs, $123,812,741.00 j front Internal rovenue,fJ130,fcS81,513.U2; from miscellaneous' sources, f32,'J35,803.'.y. The ordinary expenditures for the same period wero $2S1.U90,015.00, and tlie total expenditures including the sinking fund, were $32ii,57iVJ29.23. The excess of receipts ever expenditures was, after providing for Iheslnklngfund, $.".7,170,li.5y. Forthe cur rent fiscal year the total revenues, actual and estimated, are ?JS5,OO0,OU0and the ordi nary expenditures, actual and estimated, are $3,000,W0; making, with tlie sinking fund, a total expenditure of yHl,:i2l,llli.t)y, leaving an estimated surplus of f 13,078, 8S3.0I. During the tlseal year thore was applied te the purchase of bends, in addi tion te tliose for the sinking fund. $'J0,4.r0, 172.35, end during tlie llrst quarter of the current year the sum erf37,83S,J.'17.77, all of which were credited te the sinking fund. The revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891, are estimated by the treasury department at &?S5,OW,U00, and the expenditures for the saine period, in cluding the sinking fund, at J311.-130, 177.70. This shows an estimated surplus for that year of fcU.MO.MiVJO, which Is mero likely te be Increased than reduced when the actual transactions are written up: Tlie existence of se large an actual and antici pated surplus should have the lminedlate attention of Congress with a vlew te reduc ing the receipts of tlie treasury te the needs el the government as closely us may be. The' collection of monies net needed for public uses imposes an unnecessary bur den upon our eople, and the presence of se large a surplus In the public vaults is a disturbing element in the conduct of pri pri vate buslness. It has called Inte use expo expe expo dlents for putting it into circulation of very questionable propriety. new TO UKK Tin: suitn.us. We should net collect revcuue for the purpese el anticipating our bends bcymul the requirements of the sinking fund, but any unapprepriated surplus in thetrcasury should be se used, as thore is no ether law ful way of returning the meney te circula tion, and the profit realized by the govern ment offers a substantial advantage. Tite leaning of public funds te the banks with out iutercst upon the security of govern ment bends I regard as an unauthorized and dangerous expedient. It results In a temporary and unnatural incrcase of the banking capital of favored localities and compels a cautious and gradual recall of the deposits te avoid injury te tlie com mercial interests. It is net te be expectcd that the banks having these depesits will sell their bends te the treasury se long as the present highly beneficial arrangement is continued. Tliey new practically get interest both upon the bends and their proceeds. Xe further use should be made of this method of getting the surplus Inte circulation and the deposits new outstanding should be gradually withdrawn and applied te the purchase of bends. It is lurtuuate that such a use can be made or the existing sur plus for seme time te conte of any casual surplus that may exlst after Congress has taken the necessary steps for a. reduction of the revenue. TAitiri" ni:i'eii.M itKcoMMKNeno. "Such legislation should be promptly but very considerately enacted. I recom mend a revision of our tarIU'law,beth In Its administrative features and the schedules. The need of the l'ormer is generally con ceded, and an acrceiucnt upon the evils and inconveniences te be remedied, and the best methods for their correction will probably net be diflicult. Uniformity or valuation at all our ports is eiseutial, and ctloctive measures should be taken te secure It. It is equally desirable that ques tions affecting rates anil classifications should be promptly decided. The prepara tion of n new schedule of customs dutleK Is a matter of great delicacy, because of its direct ell'ect iiMm the business or the coun try and or great difllculty by reason orthe wlde divergence- or opinion as te the ob jects that may properly be promoted by such legislation. Some disturbance of business may jerhaps result rrem the con sideration or this subject by Congress, but this temporary III effect will be reduced te the minimum by prompt action and by the assurance which tlie country also enjoys that any necessary changes will be se made as net te impair the Just and reasonable protec tion or our home industries. The inequali ties or the law should be adjusted, but the protective principle should be maintained and fairly applied te the products of our farms us well as of our shops. These duties necessarily have relation te ethor things besides the publle revenues. We cannot limit Ihcircllects b llxlng our eyes en the public treasury alone. They have a direct relation te home production, te work, te wages and te the commercial independ ence of our country and the vl6c, patri otic legislator should enlarge the Held or his vision te include all or theso. " The i.ecessary reduction In our publle revenues can, I am sure, be made without making the smaller burden mero onerous than the larger, by reason or the disabilities and limitations which the process et reduction puts uien both capital and labor. The free list can very safely be ex tended by placing thereon articles that de net otter injurious, competition te such domestic products us our home labor can supply, The removal or the internal tax upon tobacco would relieve nu Important agricultural product from a burden which was Imposed only because our revenue rrem customs duties was Insufllclent for the publle needs. If safe prevision against fraud can be de vised the removal or the tax upon spirits used In the arts and In manufactures would also offer an unobjectionable method of re ducing the surplus." THK MLVtn QUESTION. In discussing the silver question the president sayst "The total colnage or silver dollars was en Novembor 1, 18S), f313,038,00l, of which $283,539,621 was in the treasury vaults and 00,0U8,480 wero In cir culation, or the amount In the vaults (277,310,914 was net In circulation and net represented by certificates. The law re quiring the purchase by the treasury or two 'million dollars' worth of silver bullion each month te be coined into silver dollars or four hundred and twolve and ene-half grains has been obscrved by the department, but neither the present secre tary nor any of his predecessors has deemed It safe te oxerclso the discretion given by law te incrcase the monthly purchases te Tour million dollars. When the law was enacted, February 29, 187?, the prlce or silver In the market was $ 1.20 2-10 per ounce, making the bullion value et the dollar 03 cents. Slnce that tlme the prlce has fallen as low ns 01.2 cents per cents., reducing the bullion value of the dollar te 70.0 cents. Within the last few mouths tlie market prlce has somewhat advanced. On the 1st day or November last the bullion value of the silver dollar was 72 cents. The evll anticipations which haveaccompanied the coinage and use or the silver dollar have net been realized. As a coin It has net had general use and the publle treasury has been compelled te store it. But this Is manifestly owing te the fact that its paper representative is mero convenient. The gonentl acceptance and use of the sllver cert I flea te 'chew that silver has net been etherwise discredited. Seme favorable conditions have contributed te maintain this nratical equality In their commercial use between the geld and silver dollars. But seme of these are trade conditions that statutory enactments de net control nud of the centinuance of which we cannot be certain. I think it is clear that If we should make the colnage of silver nt the present ratio free we must expect that tlie difference in the bullion values of the geld nnd sliver dollars will be laken account or in commercial transactions and I fear the sal no result would fellow any considerable Incrcase of the present rate of colnage. Such a result would be discredit te our financial management and disastrous te all business interests. any safe legislate upon this subject must socure the equality of the two coins in their commercial uses. I have always been an advocate of the use ei silver in our currency, we ere large predncers or that metal and should net discredit it. Te the plan which will be proscnted by the secretary of the treasury for the issuauce of notes or certificates upon the deposit of silver bullion at its market value I have been able te glve only a hasty examination owing te tlie press of ethor matters and te the fact that it has been se recently formulated. Tlie details of such u law require careful considera tion, but the general plan suggested by him seems te satisfy the purpese te continue the use of silver in connection with our currency, and at the sanie tlme te obviate tlie dancer of which I have spoken. At a later day I may cemmunicate further With. congress upon litis suuieci." In a reference te the assault upon Supreme Court Justice Field by David S. Terry in California, and the killing of the assailant by a deputy U. S. marshal, tlie president recommends that mero definite prevision be inade by law, net only for the protection of federal officers, but font full trial of such cases in the United Stales court. TJtUbTS PESOUNCKP. On tlie subject or " trusts " the president says : " Earnest attention should le given by Congress te a consideration el the question hew far the restraint of tliose combinations of capital commonly called ' trusts ' Is a matter of federal jurisdic tion, When organized as they often are te crush out all healthy competition and te monopolize tlie production or saloef an article of commerce und general necessity tliey are dangemns conspiracies against the publle geed, and should be inade the sub ject of prohibitory und even penal legisla tion." On the pension question the president says: "Tim law new provides a pension Ter overy soldier and sailor who was mtis mtis tered into the service of the United States during the civil war, and is new sulleiing front wounds or disease, having an origin in the service and In the line of duty. Twe ol'the three necessary facts, viz., muster and disability, ure usually suscopllble of easy proof, but the third origin in the ser vice is often difficult, and in many deserv ing cases impossible te establish. That very many of theso who endured the hardships of our most bloody and arduous campaigns are new disabled from diseases that had a real but net tracoable origin in the service I de net doubt. Besides these there is another class composed of men, many of whom served an enlistment of thrce full years and of rcenllsted veterans who added a fourth year of service, who escaped tlie casualties or battle and the assaults or dis ease, who wero ever ready for any detail, who were in overy battle line or their com mand and were mustered out lu sound health and have slnce the close or the war, while lighting with tlie same Indomitable and iudeiieudcnt spirits the contests of civil life, been overcome bv disease or cas ualty." l'AVORIMI rKNSIOXK I'Olt ALU SOl.tJlKUH. " I am net unaware that the pension roll already Involves a very large annual ex penditure; neither ami deterred byjhat fact from recommending that Congress grant a pension te such honorably dis charged soldiers and sailors or the civil war as having rendered substantial sorvice during the war are new do de pendent upon their own labor for a maintenance, and by discase or casual It V are Incapacitated from earning it. Mnnv of the men who would be included in this form of relief are new dependent upon publle aid, and It docs net In my Judgment consist with the national honor that they shall continue te subsist upon the local relief given Indiscriminately te paupers instead of upon tlie special nud generous prevision of the nation they served se gallantly and unselfishly. Our people will, 1 mil sure, very generally appreve such legislation. And I am equally sure that tlie survivors of tlie Union army and navy will feel a craterul sense of relief when this worthy and suffer ing class of their comrades is fairly cared for. There are some manifest inequalities in the existing law that should be remedied. Te seme of these the secretary of the interior nas caueu imcnueu." civil, sunvici: jiATixn?. On the question of civil scrvice thu pres ideilt says : " Heroteroro tlie book of eligi ble" has been closed te overy ene except as certifications wero made upon the requisi tion of the appointing officers. Thls'seerecy was then the source or much suspicion, and or many charges or favoritism in the administration or law. What Is secret Is.al wuys suspected, what Is open can bejudged The civil scrvice commission with tlie full approval of nil its members lias new opened the list of eligible? te the public. The eligible lists for the classified post pest post efllcos and custom heuses are new publicly Iestcd lu the respective e dices, as ure nlse the certifications for apiKiIiitmcuts. The purpese of tlie civil sorvice law was abso lutely te exclude any ether consideration in connection with appointments under It than that or merit as tested by the examinations. The business proceeds um the theory that both the examin ing beards and the apjieintiug or ofllcers are absolutely ignorant as te the political view und associations or all persons en the civil scrvice lists. It Is net tee much te say, however, that soma recent congressional Investigations have somewhat shaken publle confidence in thu impartiality orthe selections for appointment. The reform of the civil scrvice will make no safe or satis factory advance until the present law und its equnl administration are well estab lished lu the confidence of the people. It will be my pleasure as it Is my duty te see that the 'law is executed with firm ness and Impartiality. If seme or its previsions have been rraudulcntly evaded by appointing officers our resent ment should net suggest the repeal or the law, but reform In Its administration. We should have ene view orthe matter and held it with a sincerity that Is net affected by the consideration that the parly te which ye bpleng U tot the tlme in power. LANCASTER, -PA., TUESDAY, My predocessoron the 4th day of January, 18S9, by an oxneutlve order te lake effect March 15, brought the railroad mail sorvice under the ejwmtlnn of the civil ser ser sor vieo law. Prevision was inade that the order should take effect sooner lit any stats where nn eligible list was sooner eblucd. On the 11th day of March Mr. Lyinan, then the only mem ber orthe eotnraUsten, reported te me In writing that it would net be imssible te have tlie list or eligible ready before May 1 and requested that the taking effect or the order be postponed until that time, which was dene subject e the saina pro pre vision contained In the original order ns te states lu which nn eligible list was sooner obtained. As result et the revision or tlie rules of the new classification and of the Inclusion ofthe railway mall scrvice the work of the commission has been greatly Increased and the present clerlcal ferce Is found te be In adequate I recommend that the addi tional clerks asked by the commission be appropriated for. The duty or the appoint ment Is devolved by the constitution or by the law nud the appointing officers are properlyhcld te a high responsibility lu Us oxerclse. The growth of the country and tlie consequent Increase el'thu civil list have magnified this function of the oxecutlvo dlspropertlonally. It cannot be denied, hewever, that the labor connected with this necessary werkjls Increased eften te the point of actual -distress by tlin sudden excessive demands that are made upon an Incoming administration for removals and appointments. But en the ether hand it Is net true that incumbency is a conclu sive argument for a continuance in eRlce. Impartiality, moderation, fi delity te publle duty nnil a geed attainment in the discharge of Its must be added before thoargiiment Is com plete. When theso holding administrative offices se conduct themselves as te con vince lust political opponents that no jmrty consideration or bias affects in any way tlie discharge of their public duties we can mere easily stay the demand for remov als. I am satisfied that both In and out of the classified sorvice great benefit would acrue from the adop tion of seme systein by which the officer would recotve the distinction nnd benefit that lu all private employment comes from oxceptlennl fi.lth fulness and efficiency lu the performance of duty. I have suggested te the heads of the oxecutive departments that they con sider whother a record might net be kept in each bureau of all tliose elements that nre cevered by the terms 'faithfulness' and ' elllclency ' nnd a rating inade show shew shew the relative merits of the clerks of each class, this rairng te be regarded ns n test of merit in making promotions.

The president rccommends a national grant of money for education. He admits that such grants of money from the publle treasury, should be always suggested by seme exceptional conditions, but says the sudden emancipation of the slaves of the Seuth, the bestowal ofthe Btiffrage and the Impairment of thu ability of the states where these new citizens were chiefly found te adequately provide educational facilities presented net only exceptional but unexampled conditions." In further discussing the condition ofthe colored poeplo the president says Hint slnce thelr freedom from slavery they have from a standpoint of iguorance nnd poverty which was our sbame. net theirs made ro re ro markahle advances in education nud In the acquisition of propel ty.

But net-, withstanding all this lu many parts of our country, whero I he colored population is large, the peeple of that race are by various devices dopiived of any effective oxerclse of ther political rights and of many of their civil lights. The wrong does net expend ltseir upon theso whose votes are sup pressed. Fvery constituency in the Union is wronged. It has been the hee or every patriot that a sense of justice and of respect for the law would work a gradual euro of these flagrant evlls. Surely no ene supposes that the present can be accepted as a permanent condition. If it is said that these committees must work out this problem for theniselves, we have n right te ask whother they ure at work upon it. De they suggest liny solu tion? when and under what condition is the black man te have a free ballet? When is he Infact te have theso full civil rights which have se long been his in law? When Is that equality et lullueiice which our form of government was Intended te secure te the electors te be restored ? This generation should courageously face these grave questions and net leave them as n heritage of war te the next. The consulta tion should proceed with candor, calm ness and great patience ; upon the lines of justice and humanity, net of preju dice und cruelty. Ne question In our country can be al rest except upon the firm basu of justlce and of the law. I earnestly iuvoke the attention or Congress te the consideration or such measures within its well defined constitutional powers as will secure te ull our poeplo a free exercise of the right of sutfrage and every ethor civil right under the constitution und laws of the United States. Ne evll, hewever dopluruble can justify thu assumption, either en tlie part ofthe executive or of Congress of Kiwers net granted, but both will be highly blam able If all the powers grunted uru Hut wlsely but firmly used te correct these evils. Tlie )ower te take the whele direction and control of the election of members of the Heuse of Repre sentatives is clearly given te the general government. A partial and qualified supervision or theso elec tions Is new provided for by law, and In my opinion this law may be se strength ened and extended as te secure, en the whele better results than can be attained by a law taking all the processes of such election Inte federal control. Tlie colored piau should be protected lu all of his rela tions te the federal government, whether as litigant, juror or witness lu our courts, as mi elector for members of Congress or as a iieaeerul traveler upon our Intor-htute railways. imsuriT.s or a miuiciiact jiaiuni:. The president in closing his message urges tlie enlargement and improvement of our iiierchant marine. He says there Is nothing mero justly humiliating te tlie na tional pride mid nothing iner hurtful te the national prosperity than the inferiority of our merchant inarlue company with that of ether nations whose general re sources, wealth and sea coast lines de net suggest any reason ler their supremacy en thu sea. The present situation, he says, is such that travelers and merchandise find I.lverjioel often a necessary intermediate pert between New Yerk and some ofthe Seuth American capitals. The president "recommeuds that such ap propriations be made for ocean mall sorvice, In Aiuerlcau steamships be tweeu our ports and theso of Central nud Seuth America, China, Japan und the important Mauds in both of great oceans, us will be llberally remunerative for the service rendered, and us will encourage thu establishment and in seme fair degree equulize the chances of A mcrl can steamship lines. That the American states lying south of us will cordially co-eperulo lu establishing and maintaining such Hues ofsteainshlpsle their principal jierts, the president does net doubt.

Manu facturers principally wero the buyers In email lets, Sklles.tFrey sold 200 cases, David Lodermnn 100, Daniel A. Mayer 75, nnd anether firm 150, making a total or 625 cases. The weather the iast week was net favorable te the new crop, and fears are entertained that the tobacco may become tip-mould, as It did lu 1883, when there was a similar season. Rumer has It that a New Yerk heuse has plcked up 200 cases ofthe new crop the past wcek, but no ene nnears te knew the nnme ofthe firm, or the section of the county in which the leaf was bought. The New Yerk Mnrket. Frem the U. S. Tobacco Journal. Buslness Is stirring somewhnt, but net enough te inake an Impression ou the mar ket. As the year Is drawing te a close and the moterics will seen have te take their Inventories, heavy Investments In any kind of leaf are net te be ex peeled any mero this year. The month et December Is generally considered as an Interregnum in the trade. But the commencement or the new year will certainly sce seme very lively busi ness. Whatever! lea ofthe 8S crops will then go at r. lively rate and at geed prlces. Fer the '80 crops de net offer anything te brag of. Investments In the new crops are therefore slew anil dragging. Bremen imperted during the month of October 2,030 cases of seed against 2,160 In October '8S, nnd sold 2,030 cases In Octeber '8! against 2.080 in Octeber '88. Sumatra is moving lit proportion le seed leaf. Some liAiidsome sales wero mnde at exceedingly geed prlces. The Sumatra Is In demand, net exactly out of leve for the leaf, bufbecause or the lack or ether suit able wrappers. And this lnck of suitable wrappers will be still mero porceptlble during the coming year than It wits during the present. Tim Inscriptions abroad are new closed for the year, nnd though they may still have loll n fltt profit te the Dutch companies they have hardly realized the old dividends as shown In another place. Rotterdam enjeya the distinction this year or having realized the largest tivcroge prlce paid oft nil sales; Its Inscriptions numbered three of the llnest brands, viz: The Pv d A I II Dell, the P v dl K Dell nnd the Mundl Angin Dell ; the finest and hlghest priced brands put up at Ainsterdam wero the 10 P P G Dell, the F Dell and the G I, I Jtukat. They were bought at prices rang ing from 80 te 87 cents of our meney for tlie let. Some parcels of the new Havana have changed hands during the past week.

CIVIL SliltVICK COMMISSION. About One-reurtlt the OmeluU New Under Its Jurisdiction. In Its annual report te the president the civil service commission says that the clas sified civil sorvice, which itlone comes un der Its Jurisdiction, new Includes about 28,000 government empleyes, embraced lu four divisions, viz., the departmental ser vice, the postal 'service, the customs ser vice and the railway mall sorvice. It Is estimated that the aggregate of the salaries of tliose 28,000 empleyes nbeut equals the aggregate of the salaries or ull the ether miner ompleyesof the government.

The commission asks for an appropria tion ef$.yi,000 toeincieiill.ydlscliurgo merely Its present duties, und If tlie system Is te be extended the appropriation must be pro portionately Increased. It is net contended, the commission says, that the system Is ideally perfect ; no gov ernmental methods uru.

The accusation has been inade that the examinations are or such a character as te hwer "boys rresh from school" ut the expense of men of inaturernge, experience and capacity. This Is simply Incorrect. In the last roert of the commission full tables bearing en the subject are given. By theso It Is shown that nearly two-thirds of the applicants for examination succeed in pass lug, and that of these pabslug ubeut two twe filths are appointed, the figures proving, by the way, that theso who had it geed common school education de about ns well us these who have graduated from college.
