Colman, takes exception to the statements mado in the national bourd of trade meeting at Chicago re- cently, that the monthly crop reports are inaccurate, He claims that the ad- vance crop reports had for forty yoars been so accurate that the actual crops had invariably verified them.

There are some instructive and sug- gostive ‘o8 in the report of the treasurer of the United States, just sub- mitted to the secretary of the treasury. One of the important of these is that the supply of money in the country fig most hty million in round numbers wis in the paper circulation, the volume ertificates outstanding reaching L point yet noted ut the end of any fiscal year, The coinage of sil- ver during the yes T being | 1 sto the goverument’s A exceeded the minimum requir by | law, the monthly average being ahout fwo and a half million dollars, The | dance was reduced nearly 1o the of the ount coined The v purchased bonds during the year to the amount of a little over fifty- one million dollars. chiefly for the sink ing fund, paying a net premium, excl sive of acerued interest, of a fraction over eicht million dollars, In this the government effccted a saving, as the interest on these bonds if left out wuntil the date of maturity would have amounted 1o more than the premivm paid. The report shows the national treasury to be in a very healthy condition as to assets, and while the surplus is not so large as had been threatened, it is still ata point that will warrant a reduction of revenue. There has been some interest felt regarding the future treasury policy under the present administeation, but the impression now prevails in financial circles that theve is no ground for any anxicty., The country evidently has all the eireulation requived by the present conditions of business, and there is no veason to anticipate any action on the part of the treusury that would lessen the supply of money available to the people by a withdrawal of the gov- crnment money deposited with the banks. This is heing surrendered as sanks find they do not need it, and before the present adminis- 5 out most of this money will in thetreasury., But the return will be gradual, regulated by the banks rather than the treasury, and will con- sequently not interfere with the regu- lar and steady of business. The only respect in which the treasury could, under present conditions, in any progress ¢ embarrass business would be in suddenly withdrawing the deposits with the banks. and it could offer no sufli- justification of such a The policy of Seerctary Fair- child has on the whole been careful and conscrvative, his evident aim being to serve the general welfave to the ox- tent of his authorit, s he intervreted it. This creditable record, which can beacknowledged without conceding that his course in all things has been en- tively wise, he will doubtless desire to maintain to the end of his administra- tion of the financial department of the government. cient reason in course, THE CIVIL SERVICE. Che unfriendly attitude toward civil service reform taken by Senator Far- well of Ililinois is attracting some at- tention, and it would be entitied to inore serious consideration than it will per- haps receive if it were not for the fact that the senator represents the views of a very limited number of republicans who have influence in theiv party. It may readily be granted that expericnce with civil service reform under the present admimstration has not been of a kind to improve the popular impression of the reform, but the fault has not been with the principle. Reform in the civil service has not guined in vespeet because of the false pr of those whose duty 1t has been to treat it fairly and honestly. Great promises have not materialized in practice. There has been a want of integrity almost everywher i some directions a total disr of duty. No principle, however excellent, could appear at its best under such cir- cumstances, and therefore many people have, like Senator Farwell, como to think of eivil service reform as a hum- tenses bug, to bo abandoned with the least possible delay. But as we showod some days ago, the republican party is responsible for the law inangurating this reform, and until it has reccived a faiver trial than has yet been given it the party cannot abandon the reform. In conventions and in congress the representatives of the party have insisted that the policy should be maintained, and one of the arguments against the democracy in the late ign was that it had failed to honestly carry out the re- form, and as a party was not in sympathy with it neral Harrison has talked in very plain terms favorable to the reform, which he supported when in the senate, and the vepublican national platform is as explicit on this subject as upon any other to which it refers, It is havdly probable, therefore, that Senator I'arwell will be able to rally in hostility to veform in the civil servic ve strong following of those in in- flucnce and powcer, however great the force he may have with him of those who will be after the spoils, He can- not hope to have the support of the president-elect, and undoubtedly the party leaders very generally will e in harmony with the views and aims on this subject of the executive., Mean- while, it is interesting to note that the outgoing administration promiscs to do something for the extension of the classified civil service so as to include the railway mail service and some other important branches not now pro- tected by the rules and regulations of the civil service reform system. 1f this shall be done the succecding adminis- tration will hardly venture to undo it. We very much doubt if the spoils se ers will attain the comfort they ar hoping for from the next administra- tion, — GENERAL JOUN M, PALMER, demo- cratic candidate for governor of Illi- nois at the late election, has withdrawn from the Grand Army of the Republic, on the ground that the order was used against hiwn in the election. Most peoplo who have had a sincere admira- tion of the sturdy character of General | Palmer, who in all circumstances has | shown the courage of his convictions, will regret his action in this matter that was not ex- him, and it necessarily imputation upon the Grand which doubtless the order does deserve, which an old soldi General Palmer should not have made. He should have remembered that his opponent W also a soldier entitled to as much consideration as he that ground, while having all the advantage helonging to his political leadership, and this year it was a very 1t exhibits a weaknoess pected of wsts Army not an ns and on great advantage not alone with the sol diers. But they were vitally conc in vindicating a principle which ¢ ernl Palmer's party is hostile to, and what admiration the old soldiers may have for him personally they could not in justice to themselves, when cast- ing their votes, separate him party. Gei Palmoer's splenctic tion is not ereditable to the judgment of his declining ve WheN Councilman 1 which simply proposed to test the sense of the community with regard to the city hall location, as between upper Parnam and Jefferson square, came up for passage last Tuesday, it was de- feated at the instance of Jim Creighton and Joe Redman. They did not want a issue as between the location from his e's ordinance square They were evidently scheming to vepeal the ordinance by which the two hundred thousand dollars were voted for Farnam street three years ago. Such jugglery is in keeping with their pecformances. They knew last Tuesd as they know now, that the proposed three hundred thousand dollar bonds for the city hall could not be legally issued without a twenty-day notice. But all these obstructionists and wreckers want is to prevent the building of the city hall and let the rotten-pavement crew have all the bonds which the city may issue in the next few yeurs to line their capacious pockets. about time that the Six Tti teenth strect property owners had their eyes opened. Tiie vepublican primaries ave set for Tuesday, November 27; the democratic primaries follow the day after. In the meantime the various clubs and cau- cuses through the city will have held meetings and brought forward candi- dates for the nomination of council- men. Some of these nominations will be acceptable. Others will be danger- ous and of bad repute. It behooves our citizens to endeavor to secure the cau- cus nomination of reputable and trust- worthy candidates. If this can not be done, it is the duty of taxpayers to de- feat at the primaries the cau inee if he be untrustworthy, and select a man of irreproachable character. The battle must be fought at the primary to insure a good candidate. No man is bound by a caucus, Thisis a point to be well kept in mind by our citizens.

Year by year the landholders obtained by a mortgage on his ensuing crop the supplies necessary for the slave When they were freed and had to be paid ready money wages in liew of food und clottiing, the Brazilan planters found them- selves metaphorically upa tree. They nad no moncy with which to pay wages and they had no adequate machinery for husking and cleaning the coffee berrics, having hitherto relied greatly upon the rudest implements in the mist notion that they could ccono- ¢ in_machivery as they had abundant ¢ labor which cost. them nothing. In re ality slave labor is the dearest in the world, and the Brazilian planters were behind hand because it was so, and not because Liey were luxurious or_extravagant. The beloved em peror, Dom Podro, immediately came to the relief of his subjects, and loaned $6,000,000 to the planters at 6 per'cent. (This was a de cided improvement on the old order of things, and the planters will soon realize that they have been ed from a great burden, and are in a v 1o obtain las ing prosperity, The Australian land owner must keen down his rabbits, or the government will em- ploy wen to do so at his cxpense. In many instauces men have given up their land be- cause the cost of killing rabbits was so great. This shows what perils are run when men thoughtlessly disturb the balances of nature. For this tremendous pest was not indigenous to Australia, but was iutroduced because that country was very deficient in game, hav- ing only kangaroos and wild dogs, and several kinds of rats. When the whole boundles continent of Australia was thus handed over to the English rabbit _with express orders to increase and multiply, it obeyed orders with a vengeance, and the laud owners have cal- culated rucfully enough that a pair of rabbits will in two years be the progenitors of nearly two million rabbits. One farmer has ceascd cultivating the soil, and has gone into the rabbit_canning business, taking contracts from friends to keep their lands clear. Each can containsa rabbit and_a half, and the profit on a dozen cans is 37 cents. But as he has sent to England 40,000 dozen cans ever, year for the pust three ' years, he is making money.

Afterwards another section was added to the charter providing that the superintendent of build ings shall submit the plans of plumbing of new buildings to the superintendeut of plumbing before granting any permit to build.

His stolidity was most remarkable, even when his lack of kuowledge of the English lunguage, and the retiring disposition which such dignitaries are wont to affect, are taken into considera- tion. There was but onc of the party who could speak English, and he spoke it 5o un perfetly that but little could be gleancd from hii with hours of cffort. It was pa tent, however, that there was somcthing wrofiz.
