JCYUCUeys HURSDAY, OCTOBER 1881. Bra IF Gen. Grant's advice is accepted, Prest- gent Arthur will proeeedt to choose his au- visers and frame his polley In total disregard of the wishes of- a inajority of his party. Gen, Grant In the latter years of his Adon [stration adopted that course himself; and he was able to do su because ha had an uncom mon hold on the popularattections, {ut ft 1s by no means certain that any other President can do with safety what Gen, Grant habitual jy did. Sesator | may have ilispinyed Jittte veneration for historieal associations | his opposition to the exorbitant sum whielt the Senate proposes to pay for the Rocha: bean papers, but bly netion will comment Itself to the common sense of the country. As all that is coutained in these papers can be had for the price of bound books, ft Is ‘Tittle less than throwing imoncy away to give the Marquts of Rochambenu, because he hape pens to be impectntous, $20,000 for the orlg- inals ana then lay them away to the tender anereles of dust and splders, If the Govern- nent Is gulug Into the business of buying up oll swords and old papers, and pay lig enor- ‘mous prices for sentimentality, It would be £ stroke of eeunamy to appoint some ancient archivologist, who asa knowledge of the value of these things, and ‘ict him negotiate for them, © SENATOR INGAtLS used plaln language in his denunclation of the scheme to buy up the relies of the Rochambenn famlly for $20,009, and Ikimust be confessed he had tho best of the argument, ‘The Rochambeans inay not have been privy to the scheme, For thelr own sakes it Isto be hoped they wero not. ‘The presentation of the resolution at such a time was a great indelieney, and Sena- tur Voorhees dtd not make matters hetter by pleading poverty on behal€ of the French- men, They ean nelther eat nor drink tho fonlly papers, and, if they should swallow the sword ot Lafayette, they might not be visibly more opulent than they are nt pres- eut.. Certainly the papers nud the sword are not worth $4,000 to any other nation; and the effort te get such asim out of the Coy: ermnent for the benelit.of its present guests is In bad taste, to eay tho least. ‘Pie nomination of Mr. £.

Itmay be assumed that this protest will deter England, Germany, and other friendly Powers from entering Into miy ecsnbination to guarantee the neutrallty of the De Les- seps cannl, cyen Hf a proposition to jthat etfect should bo mado by France. Indeed, there Is no renson to apprehend that Franea will move In that direetlon, slneo the French Goryermmnent tins represented from the very Inception of the De Lessups project lat tt had no intention of extending Government protection io the company whieh he organ- {zed, but merely issued a charter to this as it would to any othor enterprise of a com- erelat nature. It fs true that uyder the Glayton-Bulwer trenty of 182 | between the United States and Great Britain it was ugreed that nelthor of these two Governments ‘will ever obtain or Mali tulu for itself any exglusive control over any abipennal by way of the Mver San Jinn, or assume doninton over Nicaragua and other forrltery in Central Ameren, ov avall fteelf of any privilege not conceded to the other two contracting parties, “But it Is elatmed" that this convention is riot binding upon the United States, byeatse Great Hritain his broken {t offen, and notably tn selzing the Mosquito const in sit and establishiig a protectorate over thatterritory, Nor would it seem that a treaty with Groat Britain in 1k0 of the terms dseribed conld deprive the United States of the right or release It from thoduty of the guarantee of noutrallly on- tered Into by preyluus treaty with Colombia, The situation is farther complleated by the fuet that Colombla and Nicaragua have since entered Into shullar arrangements witl France and Great Uritaln, whereby these twonhtions are placed upon the footing of the most favored Natlon, which Is the United States, fn consideration whereof thesa two nations have also undertaken te guarantee the perfeet neutrality of tho Istlinus, 111s this condition whieh makes Sverotary Blalne's protest thnely and importaut, [inay er may not be that International law, under the ean ditions desertbed, wilt give France andgirent Beltain tha same rights as the United States ns nequired so fur as Colombia iseoneerned 5 the fact that the treaty with the United States aMtedates the others may not nasure te ow Goveryiment the oxctusive right te guuriutes and exfforee the nentrallly of an juteraceante canal across tho Isthuins. But Mr J nine’s note polite out another reason for asserting such urlght—to-wit: that thechict Inturest in any means of communieation connecting the two coasts of the United Stutes rests with qr Government, and‘ he demands a recognition of this condition to the extent at least of non-lnterference, in the neantine M. de Lesseps Is procead- Ing With the construction of his canal under a French charter and with certain conces- stons from the United States af Colombia, His company has purehased the Panna Ratiromt, scoured tho right of way, aud is reported to be making conslilerable headway with the work, Sceretary Blatne’s note In- eates no purpose of interfering with this proloct. Indeed, the Seeretary says: “Tho foet that Uie stock and franchises of the Panama Canal or the Panwna Rallrond are owned in Europe, efther tn whole or princt- pally, is 10 more n subject of complaint on the part of the United States that Js tho eft- cumstances that the stock ‘of Its own great neg of railway fs held largely abroad.” 'Nhis is practleally an abantenment of the strlet coustritetton of the “Monroe doctrine” promulgated by President Mayes, who was Inclined te take the position that nobody but Anierteans has the right to build canal neross tho Isthmus, Mr. Blaine says, in effect, that Frenchmen, ogyCertians, or any other people who have the capital and want to Invest it may build eannls or rallways any- where, so far as the United States Is con- cerned; nt that thelr Governments must notundertake to assume ucal-protectorate rights over any territory which they do not already eoitrol on this continent, ‘That seems tobe a practical, common-sense, and commendable view of the Monrue doctrine, and iis enforcement wit! sedure to the Amer- fean Government all the advantage whilele It was ever designed to assure by preventing further nequisition of territory and extension uf power by Enropean Aovernments on this side of the AUantle, If Congress shall not veto tha position taken by Secretary Dluing nur endeavor to seeure some pledge of non-interference by Kuropean Governments, the De Eesseps eanal will be allowed fo proceed to eomple- tion, 1f the company’s money holds ont, under the present nusplees, But M. Ded seps antl his campany cannot feel a sense of absolute security so long as thoy: exit look only to the focal Government of Colombia to protect thelr interests, As matters now stand, any attempt by France to assert con- {rol over Ue canal now or in the future would be disputed by the United States Gavern- ment, Mr. Blaine's note Is really a notice to all European Governments that the United States Government reserves the right to guarantee nentrallty—that is, to compel all other nations to keep thor hands off in ease of complication, ‘There is no doubt that the United States will vindicate this right when- ever occaston offers, even to the polnt of h forelgn war tf that shall be necessary. Lt is probable that 10 Enropean nation will care to test the strength of the Amertean people in defense of the principle of tho Monroe ‘doctrine, Under these conditions, the best thing M. de Lesseps can do is to reorganize under an American charter, Whether he shall take this view of tho ense or prefer to run the chances of avoiding camplications in the future, the Amertenn Government scens tohave placed itself right, and is In @ posi- tion to resist anything in tho nature of for- efgn cneronchment upon Ameriean territory. ———_—_—_—_—=—_= DAVID DAVIS' PATRONAGE, Judge David Davis, as Vresident of the Senate, has very httle patronage, but that Httle he propises to bestow with care and discrimination, Hoe has but one appolut- ment, but as it ls one with which he ts In hearty sympathy, whlelt comports avith his uternal ceonomy, and fu the dutles of which heamny be said-to be an expert, he is bound that the person seeepting the ‘trust shall bring references from Ils Inst place and une doubted testiinoniats of his fitness.

But though tho Senate entorlng ins been better than that of the House, ithas been the frequent sub- ject of complultt, and no man probably hus complained Jonder or longer than David Davis of the deflelencies in that ue of Sena- torial stimulus and nourishment whieh ho regards with such epigastric tenderness and abdominal anxiety. , Probably he has many atime inwardly cursed at thin soups, tough stenks and chops, flabby roasts, oleomarga- rine butter, patent cheeses, and watery wines, not dreaming iat in the Fata 3for- gana of tho near future he was looming up as tho autocrat of the restaurant, with ampic power to redress his wrongs and establish reforms, Fortunately, from his independent postion, Judge Davis Is not behalden to the spoils system, and is not obliged to assign the position from any politteal prossure, Ile is golng to ayo the best man who can be found, and he ts to be sole Judge of qualifications, and where a better one?

CIVIL-‘SERVICE REFORM IN OHICAGD. ‘Tho Citizens’ Assorlation of Chicago is to ‘be vommended for ts good resolutions, At Als antl meeting 1b resolved: “ "that steps he taken [by this association] to put in oper ation {1 our elty and cotmnty civil services tho salutary principles of elvit-serviee reforns,”? ‘rhe proposer of the resolution, Mr. George KB Ttarding, rather broadly tnsliuated) that there had been an abundance of resottitlons by both the Nattonal politicn! parties on the subject of civit-servieo reform, and imuelt “talk” by “four Vresittents?? in praise thereof, but. that very little real reform had come of tt all, He knew no better piace to inaugurate the principles of clyil-service reform than in Chieago, and no: better way’ to go oabont it than in the manner indicatel-lopping otf useless offices created for polliieat | hangers-on, and devoting the savings thus made to sanl- tary matters#and the Improvement of the elty.” Mr. Hnrding’s resolution ts au excel lent one, nud It ts to be Roped that 1t will not proven mye brutiim fulmcn. We sitegest, however, fo the association that tho resolu tion wil not execute itself any more than the resolutions on the same stbject adopted hy politteal parties, In coneludlag his eto- quent, vigorous speech in support of the ‘resolution Mr. Harding remarked that “If there was anything more practical ant tess thearetien! than that ha would like some- body to tel hn what 1 was? If Mr. Harding tntended to say that his resolution was practical, tt must be remarked that that depends entirely upon the future aetion ot non-nction of the assoelution. IC the association shall Content itself with this mere expresslon of apliion, it will become n subject for the sneers of tho enemies of elvil-service reform, as the resolutions of political parties aro now the subject of sneers at the’ hands of the friends of clvil- service reform. ‘I'he adoption of Mr. Iurd- ing’s resolution by a body of substantial eltl- zens devolves upon them a serlous duty, Tho resolution is a theory, and nothing more, and the mere fact that it ts put forth in goo filth by au assoctation which has in tho past done excellent service in the cause ot local govermental reform wil havo very little welzht—no more welght than’ shnitar resolutions put forth by polftienl partles, ‘The resolution itself must be supplemented by “stepstaken by the associntign” Am these steps ean only be taken Inthe fleld of practical politics, i Jf tho Citizens’ Association desires to see its resolution carricd inte effect It must (1) ngltate the subject in the press and fn pab- le assembinges, and (2) seeure tho election of representatives of the reform idea to tho State Assembly, the Board of County Com- missioners, and the City Connell, ‘The maln diMleulty encountered by thosa'fwho rave urged elvil-serviee reform In the National Adinlulstration is the fact that there Is ne Jaw for it, So far, reform has been depend- ent solely upon the will of the President, aud the Executive fins been restrained in his cf- forts in that direction by the fact that tho public senthnent in fayor’6f reform has not been strong enough te secure the passage of alawon tho subject, Considering the faet that the subject of elvil-seryies reform lias been agitated for. years without producing enough effeet upon Congress to biduce even aserlous discussion thereof with a view to legislation, itis not surprising that Presl- dents hove been reluctant to push the theory to un-extremd of practice, «Phe Citizony’ Association should profit by: the experience of eivtl-service reforniers who Jaye confined thelr ciforts eltiefly to the Hx- ecutive and almost wholly neglected Con- gress, ‘It wilh waste Sts tine In seeking to impress upon the Mayor, for Instanes, the propriety of disregarding all other claims than fitness In the making of appolutments to the elty clvil service. Mr. Harrison may, indeed, assent to every proposition of the as- soclation and Insist that he is devoted to the theary of n reformed elyH service, but when he inakes an appointment or a removal It will be on polttical, not elyil-service reform, grounds, ag in tha ease of Mr. Waller and andothers, ut if the nssoeiation can pro- cure the adoption of legislation embodying the principle It lays down it: Its resolution, Mr. Harrison’s polltieal cudgel will be talon from his ofticlal hand. Any attempt to reform the civil service, whether of the National, State, county, or city administration, will prove a mere tem- porary expedient unless based upon lnw, If tho Citizens’ Association means what it says in Its civil-service reform resolution, and if it proceeds intelligently to works out Its the- ory, It will agitate and Jabor for legislation’ Whose alm wifl be to put the civil service of tho citles and counties of the State on a basls of merit, skill, anc fitness. THE HAWAIIAN TREATY~WHY IT SHOULD BE -REPEALED. Some years ago, in 1877, the United States were Ilterally seduced by Californta into making a treaty of reclprocity with the King- dom of Hawaii, oy the so-called Kingdom of tho Sandwich Islands, ‘Ths tréenty was by fle terms te run seven yenrs, and will expire in 18st, Under this treaty tho productions of elther country were permitted to be tne ported fulo the other frea of duty, Wo ex- port hardly anything to tho islands, but there is lnported, into thiseountry therefrom sugar Tnid rica tn large quantities. Lhe Callfor- nhangand the people of the other Pacitic States were very elamorous for this treaty, they having tlio’ expectation that It would secure thom cheap sugar, tn article whieh was previously denied them heeause of tho heavy fretxht eliarges placed thereon by the Paelile rattways, Tho sugar from the Sand- wielt Islands was thon selling at a few cents per pound, and if finported free of duty into Callfornta the expoctation was that the peo- ple on the Pactile const would have sugar.at even less cost than the people on the Atinntic const. ‘The result shows how yaln was this expectation, aud how. costly the experlenece of both the Government and the people, Last year there were 80,000,000 points or 40,000 tons of sugar luvportud from tho Sand- wieh Istands Into California, ‘This was ad- mitted free of duty, tha exemption of duty equaling $2,500,000, or so much revenue lost to the Govermment, ‘Us ernde sugar fy re eolyed by tho two refineries In Callfoypia,. they having the same interest, and they edRld well atford to sell the sugar nt nivel less than it could bo sold for ut the East, ‘Tho dutlos pald on tha Atiantie and not pald on tho Pacitle equal tye econts per pound of re- fined sugar, ‘Tho Pacific refineries are there- foro tn n position towel thelr sugar alt that unitch less per poynd tlinn the refinerles on the eastern const, ; But tho people of the Pa- clfle States do not shure any of the benelits of this arrangement, Stefined sugars in Cal- ifornin are protected by the long ilstance from New York to California, ‘Tho prices denianded for it by tho San Fraielsga re- dineries are the prices of New York,with the cost of transportation added, ‘The cost of transportation waafor along tine one cont por pyund, or $20 per ton, that being the pro- tection afforded by the long sistance, and this one cent per pound was udded to the price in Callfornia with religlops tilellty, Even nndor this.enormous cost of tran portation, so high were the prices on sugur InCallfornla there wero several shipments een now suppressed by an arrangemont bo- twéen the refluers of San Franelseo and tho Paciile valiways, ‘This arrangement fs that the rallroats have doubled the rateof frelaht ob sugar, from 220 to $40 per ton, which effectually proiblts auy sugar being sent from the East to Californhy; in consideration of this the refiners pay the rallroad company: $100,000 n year of 2.500 tons not carrled by tho ron. * ‘The sugar refined on tho Paelile const anntalfy eqiiads 40,000,000 pounds, and by this arrangement with the railways the re- ners wre now able to ndd_ tivo cents per pone to att the star they sell, or £200,000 elear bounty, ind for which they yay the railroads ouly $100,000 in Hen of tho fretghts they vould have reeelyed for the Lransporta- tion of strgar, Among the othor: artletes admitted from the Sandwich Islands free of duty is rice, So soon ns the treaty was ratiied the islands were promptly supplled with Chinese coo- Hes, who perforyn all the Inbor, ‘Che food of the Chinese fs largely, f4 wet inainly, rice. In order to seoure good priees for the native riee, the Islanders begun and matntal an fmportation of riev from China to feed these Chinese coolies, while all tho rice grown fh the stands, with perhaps a Uberal addition ofttat from Chinn, ts sent to tls country, where ff is ndiitted free of duty. ‘Tho loss of revenue on this rice Is estimated In San Franelseo nt $500,000 a year.
