A SIGNIFICANT EPISODE.
During the delivery of his addreaa, which was listened
te with close attention, there waa one marked opisode
abo wins the temper of bis audience. His reflection upon
the Republicans for alleged efforts to keep alive the
amoulderlng fires of animosity resulting from tbe Civil War
was applauded roundly for a minute or moro. Bul hla
reference, Immediately thereafter, to the fact that the
Democratic party was aa criminally responsible for the
bringing on of the war as the Secessionists themselves was
received in dead ai'.ence. Tbe following aro the Chief
pana ol Mr. Lowell'a addreaa:

character and training they could bc of service to their
country; yet who And ev-ry avenue dosed u, them m.les
st tho sacrifice of the very Independence which gave them
a claim to what they sought. As In semi-barbarous times
the sincerity of a converted Jew was tested by forcing him
to swallow pork, so these are required to gulp without a
wry face what ls as nsuseous to them. I would do sll In
my power to render such loathsome compliances unne*.e_

hand ls of necessity subdued to what lt works In. It has
been proved, I think, that the old parties are not to be re?
formed from within. Ii ls from without that the attempt
must be made, and lt ls ihe Independents who must maka
IL II the attempt should fall, the failure Of tho experi?

CONFIDENCE IN THK Mt OWL'MP'S fTTURF.
But 1 do not believe that lt will fall. Tht signs are all
favorable. Already there are Journals In all porto of ths
country?Journals too, among tho first In ability, circula?
tion, and Influence?which refuse to wear the colors of
party. Already the people have a chance or bearing the
truth, and I think that they always gladly boar lt Our
flrst aim should be, aa lt haa been, the reform of our
civil service, for that la the fruitful mother of all our Ills.
It ls the most arlstocreUe system In the world, for lt de?
pend* upon personal favor aud ls tho reward of personal
service, and the power of th- political boss ls bulli up and
maintained, like thal of the mediaeval robber baron, by
hla freehandedness In distributing the property of other
people. From lt ls derived the notion tbsl the public
treasure ls a fund to a share of whl.h every one tn entitled
who by fraud or favor can get lt, and from this again tha
absurd doctrine of rotation In office, ao th.t each may *reur*
hls proportion and that the business of the Nation may be
carried on by a succession of apprentices who are dlamlasavd
just as they are getting an Inkling nf their trade to make
room for others wBo are In due time to be turned loose
on th-? world, past masters in nothing but Incom;
for any useful career. From this, too, has sprung the b;#_

Union and abolished si.very were a forlorn hope of Mug.

Smith was fond of saying that tho secret of happtaaae In

JERSEY CITY STATEIMEJ QVARRELLIXO.
Tho usually dignified and buflncss-liko Hoard of Finance
cf Jei-scy City held a meeting yesterday morning at which
dignity was thrown lo thu w iud* and the members engaged
In an unseemly wrangle. The meeting was for the pur
pose of organizing, and lt was understood that John Edel
stein, the president, would be re-elected, but there was a
hitch. The membership of tbe Hoard ls the same ss last
year, three Democrats and two Republicans. When the
meeting organlred Commissioner Warren nominated Com
missioner Edelsteln for president. Commissioner Harden
berth, who ta president cf the Hudson County Nstlonal
Bank, moved lhat the election of president be postponed
until next Thursday. Thia was evidently a surprise to
bis Democratic colleagues. Mr. l_delsiela hoped there
would be no postponement, and offered lo withdraw in
favor of either Mr. Hardenbergh or Mr. Warreu.
Commissioner Warren declated thal Commissioner Har?
denbergh had promised only the day before to vote for Mr.
Edelstcln, snd accused him of bad faith. Mr. Harden?
bergh __d-.ii_.ng having n_a?_e tue promls*' and said that be
had not broken lt; he merely asked for delay. Mr. l:j-..
stein expressed his belief U.at the .Monia Causl and w.t. r
scheme was behind Mr. Bardenbergh't action, and the
latter warmly denied lt. Thc disputants were becoming
greatly excited when Mr. Dat. made a plea for harmony,
and a compromise wss effocttrd by. postponing the organl
tallon until Monday.

wan generally fur tho nomination of Mr. Llaine for

President Cleveland's free trade message. A spon
tancous cheer was chec-ed and the mover of the re<iol_.
lion promptly calle*! to order from several parts ol tha
house, tho point being maxie that the constitution pro?
hibited the expression of preference lor any I-ros ldc ulla
candidate. Mr. Duhurst claimed that Mr. Blaine waa
not a Prcsld-ntlal candidate, but Ilia Chair declared
him out of order.
Tho permanent organliatlon of the League was In
the hands of the friends ol Mr. Blaine, and the Blaine
sentiment among the delegates was overwhelming.
President Johnson ls ono ol Blaine's must ardent ad?
mirers, as U also tho secretary, D. L. Prlnton.
Outside of the convention there was some talk thal
(he opponents of John C. Bose, who Ls not a blaine
man, but was yesterday elected treasuror of tho Li-ague,
Intended to demand his withdrawal from that position.
Mr. Bose, when Inforcnid of that rumor and ashed what
he would do If such an emergency arose, replied I
? Withdraw at once, ll auy on this lloor publicly

The rumor proved to be unfounded. Ko such move
occurred to mar the harmony of the convention. Tho
Committee on Resolutions reported the following,
which wero unanimously adopted:
The Republican League of Maryland reaffirms Ita alle?
giance to Ibe National republican party and pledges Ita
unfaltering support to the nominees ol that party for
President ind vice-President.
As between free trado and a protective tariff, we de.
clare ourselves in favor of s tariff Hist will protect Amer
lesn Industry In all Its departments, snd we express our
disapprobation of the free trade utterances of President
OtoveJeal as destructive of the labor Interests of the
country.
Wo believe th.it a lsrgo surplus revenue not only on
MSOaaSfflj burden* tho people and Imperils the MBBjUIIJ of

repeal or reduction of the duty on sugar so far as the

Violations of the pledges made by the Democratic party
In Uio late campaign by the majority of Its Representatives
in the legislature deserve unsparing condemnation and
add a further reason to those heretofore existing why
Maryland should hsve a change of political administration.

A NEEDED REFORM WHICH MR. BUTTERWORTH

Washington, April 13 (Specialj.-An it* rn in tha
Legislative Appropriation bili, which was submitted
to the House by thu Appropriations Committee this
morning, provides for the appointment or thirteen
additional examiners for the Patent Ollice, uud
for twelve more fl,200 clerks. The committee
has tko so shaped tke appropriation for the Land
Office that the law providing lor tho evicting of
the Lund Office from the Interior Department
Building in December must be enforced. This
will In itself accomplish much toward heightening
the efficiency of thc Patent Office force, which has
been crowded together until the breathing ot foul
air and the neeesalty ot climbing over somebody
every time one moved from bia seat, aaiioualy in?
terfered with thc program: ol the work,
IVo of the new position* thus provided for will
be for principal examiners, and thus two new
divisions will be arenas tl t*. aid the present twenty
nine divisions in disposing of the ever-increasing
volume ol business pouring in upon the ollice.
Mr. Butterworth, of Ohio, who wus Commissioner
of Pat. nts under President Arthur, introduced the
matw to the at enii, n of tlie committee und pro?
cured tho incorporation of tbe above providions on
the bill. If he wa* a.s successful in convincing

cases abc months pass after an application baa
Leen filed before it is heard from, nnd after that
_. period of three months must elapae after each
letter written in the case by the inventor before
he fete an answer. Consequently, where there hai*
pens to be a difference of opinion between the
examiner and inventor as to the scop*' of his claims
the case may drag on for y-irs, while the new
art is advancing at the rapid rate of mechanical
development of the present age, sonne otiher in?
ventors ure coming in with conflicting applica?
tions, and endless confusion eeeulta to thr' loss
of the inventor, the vexation of th*' examiner, and
the fattening of the patent lawyer. One cnn
imagine the "nigh rat. of speed with which an ar?
gument advances, when three months pass between
thc statement of each proposition and the answer
thcr'to. .
In the face of all this, a niggardly Appropriations
Committee every year cuts down the salary of the
principal examiners in th" Paten! Office to $2,.nci,

Police Commissioner- French, McClavo and Porter
were angry with Commissioner Voorhls yesterday
because he had been reposed as saying that the adop.
?lon of tho Herzog system of polled signals, against)
Milch ho alone voted, was a Job. They took him
;o task In this ray :
Whereas, Commissioner John It. VoorhU haa in aa
lleged Interview, published In "Tl.e New-York Herald,"'
? i-i-il thal ihe selection of the lloriog system ls a big
ob. aud
Whereas, this ls the first Intimation from any source,
hat the selection of the said Uori_og system was, or
a, a Job; therefore be lt
Resolved, that Commissioner John R. Voorhls be
md i-t hereby respectfully reqoeeted to furnish at tba
ie.\t meeting of tins lonni any and all tacts, and clr
lumataaeea which, lo his Judgment, lead him to believn
t.at the adoption of the electric signal system pre
ented by the Herzog Telesemo Company was or ls
he result ol any Improper motive on the part of tho
najorlty or any Individual member of this Hoard, or
iai Indited bv any Influence except for tbe welfare ut
ho city and the best Interests of this Department.
Mr. Voorhls said later to reporters that he did not
rlsh to be understood as asserting that the other mern
*ers of tho Police Board had voted for the Hertog
} stem from corrupt motives. Ho waa opposed to tho
ystem and thooght lt would be a waite of public
noniy to put lt lu operation In the Department. Tha
ithor Commissioners declared that tho Herr.og sy?tera
ias the k!!l system offered, and also the cheapest tn
he long run, and they talked Iom and earn.-sily In
upport of their position. 'Ihey declared willi some
rarmth that If thei*. was any '?Job" In the selection
il the signal system they were not aware of lt. Mr.
oorhls bad hinted of au attempt to Influence bim Im
iroperly to vote for the Herzog system. Mr. French
aid, and when asked to explain, had declared that Mr.
ii.r_.up had tailed to him In this way: 'It ls under
tood that you are likely to he a candidate for Mavor.
!r, Yonrhls, and you may need all the friends and all
\,? Influence available.' A few days ago somebody
eal to the Commissioners clippings from newspapers
nno'inclng that there wee te a. a sale of stock In the
leraof Telesemo Company. Mr. Voorhls seemed to
iiink tha.t thora wa-- aaotaer attempt te corrupt him.
he other Commissioners said the clippings might
ave been sent by some of Mr. Herzog's rivals.
