Delegates are yet to be elected and some may be selected who will not deliver. Thereis such a thing as too much hurry in politics. Counting chickens before the hen is off the nest is mighty uncertain work. — Tog congress of 1881-3 was the worst one of the late republican sgssions and the people showed their disgust by sonndly whipping the party in lh(\ fall clections. But the long session of 82 was a marker in ivefliciency to that just closed. 1f voters will apply the same remedy once more we shall have a re- publican majority in the next congress. Conar AN DORsEY returns home with the adjournment of the session, bringing with him a record of which he need not be ashamed. He has made a hard working and respectable represen- tative, who has had the interest of his gonstituency at heart, and has labored faithfully in their behalf.

These are matters how ever with which the United States has no concern, The government eares nothing for Cutting, but they are and they must stand fivmly for the principle of interns tional law which he represents. The point made by the United States 18 that the arrest of en American eitizen in Mex- ico for an offense committed in the United States cannot be tolerated under any cirenmstances, and the point is with- out question a sound one. If worst comes 1o worst it must be enforced. Me.

The only talk of fight in that little difliculty eame from Portland sail- ors. The war and navy officers in Wash- iagton did not feel ¢ the possibility of conflict with arms and British ships. The secr: state is as brave as a lion now Mexico gets impudent, and we hear lond threats of what Uncle Sam will do in thrashing the Greasers if they do not re- cede from their position in the Cutting case, A war with Mexico would not be a popular one. There would be a general feeling that the fight would be like an wlt by a strong man on a cripple, which always casts reflections on the courage of the assailant. It is to be hoped that Mr. Bayard will succeed in inducing the Mexican government to icld assent to the position of our gov- nment in the controversy. A resort to rms in settement of the dispute would certainly result m readjustment of the boundary between Mexico and this country and the acquisition of another big slice of Mexican territory. Just at present we don’t need it at the expense of human lives. be serions The Business Situation. The closing month of summer is always dull in general teade circles, and August of the presont year is no exception to the rule. Dullness continues in seve branches of trade, but has given place to moderate activity in other lines, and the tendency is to a steady and healthful ex- pansion of business as the month ad- nces. There is sustained firmness in values in the iron and steel and textile markets, and exceptional steadiness in prices in neatly all lines of trade. Re- ports from most sections indicate con- tinued hopefulness as to the business out- look. Crop conditions in the eorn belt and in some parts of the south are not entirely favorable, but the frequency of rains this weck has modified previous esti- mates of the damage to corn, and there is still time for improvement in cotton. With favorable weather during the bal- ance of the season the yield of both sta- Dles is likely to be abundant. The quality of the grain already harvested is excep- ]‘lul\'\lly gum[ Wool is comlumhvelv quiet byt pucua r&nam stiff. The move- ment of dry goods continucs large. The iron trade situation shows gradual and healthful improvement through a widen- ing demaund for small lots for near re- quirements, Consumers generally buy as they need supplies, and there are con- equently few large transactions, Steel rails continue m good demand, and difficulty is experienced in placing orders for a fixed perviod of delivery. Contracts have been placed for upward of 40,000 tons within a few days past. Prices of wheat and corn have flue- tuated within narrow limits, and at the close of the week were generally the as o week 8go, exoept in Chieago, w wheat quotations were 4 cent por bushel lower. The steadiness of wheat values is due to continued buying by exporters. Clearances from Atlantic ports last week during the first four days amounted to 1,600,000 bushels, and additional business has been done in all markets that will keep up a steady flow of shupments for several weeks to come, Exports are rela- tively larger from Philadelphia and Bal- timore than from New York., Receipts of wheat at the seaboard continue large, but m the west they arve falling ol a little. Stocks afloat from all purts of the world in transit to Europe showed a decrease of 1,560,000 bushels in spite of the larger shipments from Amerioan Atlantic ports. The increased demand has not advanced rates for ocean freights, as the offerings of tonnage have been excessive, A good many vessels were attracted to United States ports by the prospect of highor fates earlier in the season. The strength of corn is eaused mainly by the manipulation of specula- tors 1n Chicago and by the restraint of short selling from the continued uncer- tainty as to the extent of the damage by dry weather in the corn belt, The inte- rior movement of corn is a little lavger,us the comparatively high pricos have at- tracted shipments hon\ the hands of farmers. A Band of Happy Optimis There is no class or body of men, who have taken upon themselves tho duty of removing from our political system meth- ods which they regard as abuses, 8o - in- teresting in thoir character as exemplars of supreme self-satistaction and superla- tive aptimism, as are the civil service re. formers.. These people—very worthy and oxcollent eitizens—are so entirely contented with what they faney they have already accomplished, and so wholly cer- tain of tho future, that their anaunal meet- ings, the last of which was held a fow days ago at Newport, are for the most part jubilation gathevings, where the ex- ‘change ef congratulations, the outpoux- ing of mutual admiration, and the men- ta! exereise of picturing a time when the politieal spoilsman will be unkrown, make a brief season of unmixed pleasure. At the recent meeting of the loague, Mr. George William Curtis, the presidont, was more than ordinarily enthusiastie over the present situation of civil service reform and eloquently prophetic of its future. ‘‘Never," said the bigh pricst of reform, ‘‘wers the skies so bright, never was the futuie sv farr.® He was not un mindful of the other view, but no matter about that. Public opinion was never so aroused, so enlightened, g0 determined. There is a rattling of the dry benes of party politics, polit jcal nssessments apd in great part sup- pressed, arbitrary removals are instantly challenged and exposed. Such is the cheering condition of the reform s Mr. Curtis sces it, and he assured his hearers that it is to be the one comiaand- ing question in the fall eampaign upon which the fate of congressional aspirants will hang. It is of mior consequence what views a candidate shall have re garding the tarifl; the gold standard, or any other of the great questions of publie policy, but he must be right and be out spoken ng the reform of the civil service. To be thus is to have the one virtue which will cover a multitude of faults and defects in other directions; not to be thus is to invalids all other merit, No one could be heartless as to wish to deprive these good people, the civil service reformers, of a privilege from which they derive so much on ment, but those persons who are in- fluenced only by hard facts cannot but wonder how it is that men of quite average intelligence in most other direc- tions should show so little judicious apprehension in respect to this matter, and give themselves up to & rhapsody of congratulation and ex- pectation for which there is the possible warrant in the fac vice reform is a year older than it W when the league which is *‘the only authentic national representative of the reform movement” held its annual meet- ing preceding the last one, but in what other respeet it has advanced cven the ingenious faney of Mr. Curtis would find it diflicult to show. That it still survives is readily explained by the circumstance that the party which would kil it if it had the power is in control of only a portion of the government. There was ample evidence given that the disposition exists, but the means and machinery are nof command. So long as the relations of parties in congress reman s at present the civil service law is secure, even without the presidential support of that policy, but nobody can scriously doubt what the result would be under different circumstances. What demo- cratic leader is there—the leadership of Mr. Cleveland being in question—who is committed fully to the support of civil service reform? We are unable to think of one. There are some whom a sense of expediency has deterred from pronounc- inst it, but who in the list ufdomu» respec 80 wfly |>||l, him- self on record as a supporter of this policy ? Senator Vance is a representative democrat who had the courage to bring forward a bill for the repeal of the law, and the undisputed leader of the house, Mr. Randall, arrayed himself in oppos tion to the tem. Governor Hill of New York, the mau most likely to have the support of that state in the next national democratic convention, cannot be regarded a nd without reserva- tion of civil service reform, and ther: several members of the administ whose affection for this policy is not pop- ularly believed to be very broad or deep. The president, it is true, has continued to proclaim his adhesion to the reform and his determination to carry it out, but those people who are satisfied with the vractical results are certainly not hard to please. Until the reorganization of the commission, the law was continu- ally disregarded or evaded, and it is not qu‘?‘éfiéhnme that there are scores of clerks in the departments at Washington who got there in violation of the Taw. But they are allowed to remain, just as the clerks in the Baltimore postoffice whom Veasey put in remain there, and just as employes of the government in overy city of the country, wha have beor putinto office in utter \hsret'ard of the requirements of the civil s e reform act, are peymitted to hold their positions. Surely there is very little in all this to rant congratulations and to inspire lights of rnetorie. 1t1s possible that the present commis- sion may be able to accomplish more in behalf of a thorough enforcement of the law thap did its predegessor, but in this watter faith must come after works, As to the confidence of Mr. Curtis and his associutes of the league in the great so- licitude of the people respecting this policy, we have no hesitation in saying thatitisto a véry considerable extent mistaken. It probably is not s0 as to the circle which includes the gentlemen of the league, but as to the masses of the people they are mueh more deeply con- cerned regarding what ought to be done to reform the tariff, to adjust the mone- tary question, to advance the industrial and commercial interests of the country, and m a general way to promote the material welfure of the people, than they are respecting the question whether pub- lic oftfices shall be ocoupied by persons who have passed & gompetitive examina- tion in answering a geore of question that have no ru]xfilon 0 the dutles thal will be required of them, or by gsome other cl ‘I'hoy acknowledge that oivil service reform has an importance, but it is very far from being the most im- portant issic demanding vopular atten- tion, PR Toere is a feeling of uneasiness in Massachusetts regarding what may be future course of General Butler in the political afairs of the commonwealth. Very little doubt oxists that the *'old man’’ will take a hand, but just how he will play itis the puzzling problem. The understanding is that he wants to go to congroess, and it was recently announced that he would be a candidate in the Lowell distriot, but he had promised the representatiye of that bailiwick not to run against him, and he will keep his word. Still, he did not surrender his de- termination to return to the forum, whose history was enriched by his former presexce, and 1t 18 thought he will stand for another district. Meanwhile, it is conjecturgd that the motive impelling General Butler goes deeper than the simple wish to resuwme the eares and labors of a congressional term, and has reference to placing himself on a better vantage ground from which to strike the administration of President Cleveland. At all events the general has agaiu be- come an object of interest. County central commitiee meetings have been feirly poaceful affurs up to date. The tendency has been towards barmony. The ecandidates haye not shown any wild inclination to cut their uwn throats by pledging themselyes against the leading republican candidate for United States sen Their friends, too, have restrainell any enthusiasm in this direction. With a lively fight in pros. pect, it has occurréd to some that even in politics “‘Discretion is the better part of valor.” The senatorial issue 18 a living issue It will be a burning one before the cam- paign is over.
