That is to Hay, public sym pathy should be with an orderly and proper movement under the direction of the clerks, to secure for them reasonable hours of relaxation from labor. It is not eaury to understand -why a clerk in a mcr'.'.utile eaJtabliskaient should lie culled upon to labor longer than tlie worker at the forge or the bench, and it is conceded that the longest period of labor for them should not exceed nine or ten hours, while a strong following iu uists that eight are enough. Bat if clerks, besides working from 7 or 8 in the morn ing to G in the evening, are required,with out additional compensation, to continue on duty until 8 or 9 or 10, it is a demand upon physical rapacity that is undue, aud is n great hardship. Tho merchants of this city in the main close their establishments to the public at b in the evening, and it is asked by the clerks that all others do likewise except on Saturdays and what are known as "pay-car days." It is an entirely rea sonable request and ought to be complied With. Kinnloycrs have the right to con duct their business within the law as pleases them, and without interference, but we submit that there is something due to sentiment and a great deal more to humanity. Both demand that the clerk should have at least his evenings to himself. If ho makes misuse of his time so much tho worse for him. It is not solicitude for his welfare that induces any employer to keep his employe on duty until 9 P. M. It is said, however, that open stores in the evening conserve the convenience of the public, and that it is at hardship upon the many to deprive them of the privi lege of evening trading. There is possi bly a grain of truth in that statement, but if it is essential to trade that stores shall be open in the evening, or if the merchants desire so greatly to accommo date the-.ublie, let them do so at their own proper expense by providing re lays, and not exact from one set of clerks the whole tribute to public convenience. But observation would seem to support the statement that, savo on Saturday nights and exceptional occasions, there is not any considerable demand for even ing trading. What little there is, we ap prehend, can, without much or even any discomfort, accommodate itself to day trading. Tho clerks are satisfied to yield from lour to live evenings in eaeli month to extra hours of service, so that at the best they will not have iv the agregato the "hours off" that are enjoyed by the mechanic or tho day laborer. Some of our mercantile establishments are more liberal than the Clerks' A-s.ociation asks them to be, for there arc offices employ ing several clerks that close at 12, neon, on Saturdays, the bank clerks are all re leased at l it: the afternoon of that ciay, and in some of the wholesale estul ments the clerks are given liberty at 4p. m. on Saturdays. So that business itself tcstities to the wisdom of giving the clerk all possible hours for rest or recrea tion. It is to be hoped that the few retail es tablishments which hold out against the petition of the clerks will come over to the great majority side, which includes all the houses now closing at t> i\ jr. But whatever the action of the merchants, let the clerks beware of being lexl into the methods some of their r*a.lliwg adopted in San Francisco recently. They should maintain the justness of their cause by firmness and proper demeanor ; there must be no parading in front ofthe doors of resisting tradesmen: no vituperation and abuse; no gathering at stores to annoy the merchant or drive business [from his establishment. The ck-rUs are a body of intelligent, law-abiding men, and if they keep their tempers, preserve their dig nity and resort to only legitimate appeals they will have the sympathy and support of the people and the aid and counsel of the merchants who have so long and still adhere to the early-closing rule. They have found that it is economic, betters the service of their omployes, and that it does not diminish income. <► 1 THE NATIONAL GUARD BLLL. With some moditi cat ions the National Guard bill should patas the La^gislataxr** and and become a law. It is a high duty to axinserve the interests of the Guard aud perfect the organization. The National Government is doing all it can in that direction, and is solicitous to bring tlie Guard up to the highest standard of excel lence. Its efforts, however, must be sec onded by the State to be effective. The new bill makes company officers' terms four years. We doubt the value of that provision. If a stick happens to be chosen Captain, for instance, the company must endure him for four years. In most cases he will ruin the command in that time. On the other hand, competent men can always be re-elected. Guardsmen well understand the value of efficient offi cers. If they do happen to select an unskilled oue, one year is enough of pun ishment for the blunder. Tho an-ftual inspection and muster is changed from July to March, which is a desirable reform for obvious reasons. Another amendment gives to a signal corps not exceeding ten men, a Second Lieutenant, a Sergeant and two Cor porals. It will be better to leave the law as it is. The amendment provides for too many officers for a small corps. With tlie brigade and regimental signal offi cers, there are sufficient in authority. So, too, the provision for a First and Second Lieutenant, two Sergeants and four Cor porals, gives too many officers to a corps in excess of ten aud not exceeding twenty men. Another provision makes the Brigadier- General elective every four years. This is the. right thing to do. It removes the selection of these officers from politics, and eliminates the liability of ■ -tenant! being appointed who knows nothing ol" the duties of the office, and secures it simply because he has a political or social pull upon the Governor and to gratify his vanity. The election, however, by the officers of the brigade, insures the selec tion of a eoinnr.ir.'lcr who knows some thing of the duties of the ofliee, and who will command the respect of the brigade, The bill makes the electors for this pur pose the field, staff and line officers ofthe organization of the brigade. The thirteen staff ofnea ra should be excluded. They are tho appointees of the incumbent and naturally would support his ambition to succeed himself. This would give ttixn an undue advantage as a camlidate ami handicap his competitors. With this cor rection, the provision should prevail, for it will greatly enhance the interest in tlio brigade by tho organizations composing it, because it brings its government closer to the units of the command. Another provision exempts Brigadier- Generalß from examination. Why? V»'l;y should not they be examined concerning their litness and knowledge as well as other officers of the command ? We have had too many men in tho Brigadier's office who entered upon it wholly ignor ant of its requirements, apparently in capable of learning them, aud not able to handle a brigade in ordinary field move ments or dress parade without having a book of tactics in hand, or being assisted by prompters at their elbow. Of such commanders tho men aro always ashamed, and the result is material in jury to tho brigade. With tho exceptions noted, the bill should be passed as presented by Assem blyman Phillips. The payments it pro vides for service in encampments and for support of the organizations, are not ex cessive. If we are to maintain the National Guard at all, it should be well done, and with a view of mnkii-g it as efficient as is possible. We believe in fostering this branch of tlie Government; it was the advice of Washington, and has been that of every great statesman sinco his time. It is encouraged by Congress, and is made by the War Department a in liter of special concern. The Stato can afford to make the guard attractive to enlisted men, to bring it to a high state oi" discipline, to insure it a stable nucleus for formation in tho hour of danger, and to make it a means for tho eultn ation of patriotic spirit and the military taste. l'"or in the citizen soldiery and its effi ciency the final power and last resort of orelerly government resides. 4. Faxel-ii. Hall has spoken against the silver mania. Of course it will be said that Boston is under the thumb of the single-stantlard influence. But if that is even admitted, the position of the Boston men is fortilied by reason. They knew that by no possible legislation can we maintain the value of silver bullion at the gold standard. The nearest approach that can be made to it is by paying a bounty to the home producers of silver — and in effect that is what the free-coinage measure elocs when it makes the United States an unlimited purchaser. Market v;d;ies the world over are determined by the judgment of the world, and in noth ing more inflexibly than in the matter of the precious metals. The proof of this was cited by Mr. Sherman in the Senate debate—that when silver was at a pre mium it was demonetized and so re mained until we were forced to legislate, by reducing tho ratio, in order to cheek the outflow of the metal from the country. .*. The Chamber of Commerce of New York, is, of course, opposed to the double Btandard. Its interests aro antagonized by tho proposition. But it is a body of financial wisdom, and when, ou the 12th inst., it unanimously adopted the follow ing resolution, after long debate, it sent before the country a judgment of great weight: Raoboed. That it is the judgment of this Chamber that until U uniform coinage ratio .11 gold and silver Is adopted by the commercial nations erf Europe and the United states the Mange of at) Act of Ooxqrress aand it approval bythe President autho!i/:;ii/ the unUmiteu free coinage of silver dollar* of the t standard would re-ul* in forcing united States gold coin into an artie'u- of mer chandlsas, thereby withdrawing it from cireu b.iien and contracting the money of the coun try i^iore than one-third of its present volume. -—— ♦ Eider Haggard is on his way to this country to study the Indian with a view to collecting notes for a new novel. Now then, let the bones of Fenimore Cooper rattle in thaVr tomb. The Indian under :i v-gard's pen will be an object for su preme pity. As for Haggard's readers, they are entitled to no sympathy what ever. .». It is objected that the Supervisors o" Elections under the Federal election biil are to be appointed for life.

If they were to be named every two years as a matter of course the tillitig of their offices would be a matter of patronage that might be made to inure to the benefit of the dominant party. .». Mr. Kiitlixq, whose literary pyro technics appear to have a fascination for a surprisingly large number of people, speaks of "men who orated." That is villainous slang, and Rudyard Kippling uses it in sober earnest and without the suggestion of an apology.
