Withregurd tothe mewureconforri hrevets, which wasapproved last F riary, it appears to haveealled out a do- mand for the honorable recognition from ahostof social and political soldiers, and while G al Schofield after cx ful investigation has recommended one hundred and fifty mes s entitled to the brevet, the president has not acted upor them and ve likely will noc dur- ing the present session of congress, Onoof the most important measires to by both the houses is that for lineal promotion, which has been under cnsidoration for a numbor of yews. [t provides that instead of “confining pro- motios of licutenants of the line to the regimentin which the vaciney occurs, whena first lioutenamey is left vaeant in an infantry regiment it will be filled by thesecond lioutenan tof infunt ry high- st inrank, to whatever regimenthe nuy belong. The same rule will apply to artillery and ¢ Lineal promo- tion will bo the rule among subalterms, ® now among higher oficers up to the gradeof generat oficer, which will re- sult in more frequent changes of lieuten- ants frompostto post. It is provided that officers shall pass an examination lefore promotion, thus compelling them to study and keep up with their profe sion, sincotwo successive failurves will causo them to be dropped, or if the dis- ability is physical to be put on the re- redlist, only those who served in the dvilwar being exempt from this, Anthermewsure of importance om- powers the president to fix a maximum punishment for all military offenses now left to tho diseretion of courts-martial, thusin eflect giving the army o penal code. A law of this kind was advocated by theadjutantgeneral of thearmy in his list roport, ad the best military aathorities aveagreed as to its desi bility. The act entitling cnlisted men o count war service as double time to- wardretirement will benefita consider- able number of them. The houscon Monday agreed to the conference report on the billto incresse the efficiency of L corps of the army and transfer her bureauto the agricultural department, the change to take eflect Junedo ofnextyear. The signal corps will be organized on a somewhat smaller sealo for army purposes alone, Iuch louse has passed other measures ori gin- oling with it, among them the seuto bill to wevive the grade of lieutenant goneraly but most of these will go over to the noxt session, Asit is, however, the year will b memorable one for congressional attentionto the interosts of the army AN UNJUST IMPEACHMENT. The Philadelphin American is dls- posed to makelight of that “fraction of humanity” which destiny and an enter- prising spirit has located in the great northwest, and whose ropresentativesin congress have for months been hattling withthe selfish monopolistic manufac- turers of the oust for a just and fair treatment, ‘Who constitutes *my people of Senator Allison, and divectly proceeds 1o read him & locturo on his duties as a United States semtor, The American woull have stite lines obliterated, so far as tho legislative work of the sente is concorned, vhen Pemsylvania is ‘in- terested. Tt isinuates that Allison and the ofher western men who have all ilong insisted that binding twine shoild be put on the free list, have bee nand wre simyply truckling to constituent clamor, whileallthe time they knew it would be bad policy todo so. How or why bad policy? Were thetarifl people of Pomm- sylvania partionlarly interested in the manufacture of binding tvine, or did they fear the defeat of the bill in itsen- t asks lrety it all the ‘‘interests” of all the manufacturing slates were not protected? The Awmeriem’s im- peachment of Senator Allison, Senator Paddock and other western representa- tives is unfair, and unrepublican, While it may be true, as the Ameri- can says, “evory member has upwarl of u sixty million constituency,” the sena- tors, who, for years, have represented Pennsylvania have not been noticed to lookacross the boundary lines of their state, unless perhaps 1o promotoe thoin- terests of the coal barons and fron mill monopolists. Itis expected, of course. that westorn senators and congressmen shall legislate for the whole country on purely national measures and {ssues, bt they arealso expected to oppose any and all measires thature designed to envich any section of the country or any class (o the dotri- ment of their own states and constituen- cles, Tho east has noright to demand thatrepresentatives of thoe west shall helpto build up the cast atthe expense of the wost. THE FIGHT AGALD AMALLD The periolical compaign against Tammany by the lesser democratic or- ganizations of New York City s now in progress, and theusuil predictions are being made that the powerful cabal will bo beaten and crushed If the campaign is conducted with intelligence, sagucity andenergy. But the trouble has always been that these essontial qualitios donot exist in sufficient degree, or it is impos- siblo to bring them together, outsile of Taumany. Thatorganization not only has the shrowdest and the most un- serupulous politicians in New York, but they archeld togethor. All good citi- ons everywhere woull beglad to see this poworful, corrupt, anld dangerous organization overthrown, and possibly the timowill come when It will moet that fate, but the democrats who wre now arryed agiinst it, mainly for the reson that the nnot get into it, are not themento achicve fts over- throw, mor s it by any meansceriin thatthey would fmprove the sitiation if they obtiined the pover they covet. Thefact that o demoert isat war with Tammany dos ot necessarily prove him honest or patriotic. Itmay be ovi- denco that heis noither, Tanmany is thoroughly intrenched in all the municipal departmonts of Now YorkCityandits political machinery has never worked more smoothly anl effect- ively, acoording 1o the best testimony, thanat present. 1t maintains its wonted rigorous discipling, and it has all the means of su $ ot command. Its one- mies have none of these. Mucl, tlo fore, ns the overthrow of Tammany is to be desired, ther ns even less Likeli- hool of its being wecomplishod this yoar thanin the pst. Thisfact is o be re- greted not alone for Now York City, but for the ent L CONTROVER. mateon Monday adopted a reso- lution callingon the presidont for cop of wll orderns and instructions since March Trespecting theregulation ofthe seal fisheries of Alaska or Behring sca. Of course it s not ex pected that this in- formation will be supplied atihe pros- ent sessiony but it will doubtless be ready by the time congres reconyvenes, 50 thut il it isdeemed necesary to ke any new action by W o this madtier it canbe takenbefore the sealing season of next year opns. The correspondonee between Seerdary Blaine and Lord Salisbury showed a strainedsituition which the Washing- ton government probably decmed it expedient toreliove, and itis understood to lnve ordered the suspension for a time of the strict enforcement of its seal- ing regrulations and the capture of Brit- ish vesels enggel in the tade. How far it went in this respect is the information desired by the senate, becase the result has been to fill Behr ingsea with poachers who have been slaughtering the sealin the most reck- less mamner, shoting forr times as many astheyhave been able to seoure. The most vigorous part of Seeretary Blaine sargument was divected aguinst the policy which encourged this de- struction of the sel, and he appealed to the British government to considerthe necessity for both nations to aid in putting a stop to a practicewhich ifcon- tinuwed wouldeventually exterminate the seal. This was without eflect, however, upon Lord Salisbury, who srenuously in- sisted won nondinterference by the United States with British subjects sealing in Beliring ses, and virtually re- fused toconsider any other part of the subject. Tt woull then scem to have been decided by the Washington gov- ernmentto modify itsinstructions, with theinevitable result of letling in a host of poachers who have inflicted great damage, Ttis desirable that the country should be informed regarding the orlers and instructions of the executive branch of the governiment in this matter,in order that public sentiment may be invoked to determine the future policy to be pur- sued by the Unitel States in the contro- versy, If there isright inthe claimthis government makes to jurisdiction ove Belring sea it shoull be muintained, whatever the consequences, but if it is not founded in right and justice the sooner it isgiven up the better. Tho ins which have for years been made to the British government while all the time insisting that our claim is just, have heen humilinting to the na- tion, and to find the present adminis- tration, as is apparently the case, fol- lowing in this respect the course of its predecessor, is extremely disappointing. congres Ir 1S to be hoped the council will stand firm for the five limit extension, The time hascome fora radieal cheek on the eredion of frame buildings, Wiile the city lhas grown marvelously in population, expanded her conmercial teritory and trevled her industries in fiveyears, the fire limits have remained practically wchmgel. In this respect Onuha is behind every western city of wnsequence. The firelimits of Den- ver incude -theentire city, and to the wislom of thatact the city isindebted forits solid, compact and impuressive ap- petranc. KuinsasCity, St. Pauland Min- neapolishavesteadily extendedtheir fire limits, und thus protectedliberal build- ers from the firetraps of penurious neighbos. The couneil will make no m kein extending the fire limits, On thecontrary the messure will prove an incentive to permanent investment, and staudily enhunce the valuo of property. TireE tvo glasticutuses are byno means thoe worst featuroof the city hall build- ing, These monstrosities can ind doubt- less will be chipped off in the due course of time, but the whole stone front above the granite base appears to be an abortion, The idea of building a three hundred and fifty thousand dollar public building with a nch vencering of stone strilces any man who kiows any- thing about ficoproof building a ut terly indefonsible. A fire-proof stone front should not bea mere sham, plain pressed brick front would have bem preferble in every respet. But where is the builling conmitiee of the comeil?

During hisabseice he visited Davenport, where he found suloons runuing wide open, and where he was informed thero were 200 saloons, and where no attempt hal ever been mude tosuppress the traffic. At Cedar Rapids thecity marshal told him there were 200 places whereliquor was pub- Licly sold, and that before the adoption of tho amenduent they only bhid twenty-seven licensed saloons. Mr. Glick sa that while he is noe the less & believer in prohibition as a principle, heis thoroughly convinced from personal ob- servation and conversition with the police force in Tows towns that he visited, that our high licnsesystem is preferablo to prohibi- tion ashe found itin Towa. No sane person will attemmpt toprove that the licensed saloon is a blessing, but there are many who biieve thatit isa les curse than the unlicensed dives of Iowa and Kan- s0s. ——————— ad Walking Delegates Expelled.
