England will this month cele brate the jubilee year of Victoria's reign, "and national subscriptions are being made throughout the realms of England's queen for testimonals of a fitting character. As .England is pre-eminently a Christian nation, given to war and violence, and supposed to be the chosen of the Lord, and ordered by Bim to slay the Philistines of Af ghanistan, Zululand and sundry other places, she might with pro priety imitate also the virtues of the Jews and celebrate this jubilee as they used to celebrate theirs. In the year of gladness the He brews'set free their bondsmen, re leased their debtors, secured the needy in possession of the land which they tilled, and thus at least rendered the homestead of the laborer inviolable, his family safe and his life worth the living. "The Englishman's house is his castle," but the Irishman's house is what? It is a thing to set fire to, and to burn over the heads of the help less, the old and the infirm, in the name of English law and English justice! The impartial future his torian of Great Britain will not omit to comment with a trenchant pen on the awful, horrible, perhaps half incredible fact that the legal incendiarism at Glenbeigh oc curred in Queen Victoria's jubilee year. What a grand opportunity this Christian nation now has to glad den the hearts of its long oppressed Irish subjects by making this in deed a year of jubilee for them! Some of the several funds raised might mitigate horrors by being . presented to the victims of unfor tunate Irish evictions, or, if given to the queen, sent by her to "the sister isle," that it may do a little toward alleviating the suffering of that persecuted people, whose ju bilee has been long waited for, but has not yet come. The queen should send forth her ' -edicts as Moses did, declaring lib erty and peace throughout the land. She should give of her "abundance to the starving. She should open the prison doors to Irish patriots. Sho should forbid the eviction of tenants who by their labors have given their hold ings all the value they possess. Sho should see that blocks of tene ment houses are built in London and in all the manufacturing towns, with the necessary sanitary appliances, where those who do the work of the ivorld could find com fortable shelter. But the managers of the queen's -jubilee, particularly the managers of its funds, will never let the con tributions take the direction of be friending Ireland, whatever else may be done with them. Something in that direotion would gild with grand luster the closing years of Victoria's long reign; and deferred justice, no less than poetic fitness, suersrests that that monarch's jubilee year be signalized by a tardy tender to her Irish subjects of reason to remem ber the year 1887 as one of splen- did jubilee. In a suit against the Adams Express Company, the Pennsyl vania supreme court has decided It is reported from Washington that secretarv Lamar's suddIg- mentary order of May 23rd for the revocation of indemnity with drawals and restoration of land to public settlement, covers between twenty-five and thirty million acres, including lands of the Ore gon & California and Southern Pacific roads. When congress meets bills will be introduced for the forfeiture of land grants of sixteen roads, covering unfinished portions of such roads. These bills will cover nine million acres, including the follewing: Southern Pacific of California. 184 miles of which are still incomplete, involv ing 81,000 acres of land; Califor nia and Oregon, 45 miles of which are still incomplete, involving 600,000 acres of land; the Oregon and California, 18 miles of which are still unconstructed, involving 20O,00Q aores of land; the North ern Pacific, 225 miles of which are still unconstructed, involving about 4,000,000 acres of land in the Columbia-river valley. The steamships Arizona, of the Guion line, and Servia of the Cu nard line, which left Queenstown about the same time, May 8tb, ar rived in New York within an hour of each other. During the entire voyage the two kept constantly in sight of each other. By night each other's lights oould always be seen, and at day either the spars or smoke of one 'vessel could be seen from the decks of the other steamer. The passengers on the Servia were constantly watching the Arizona, whioh they hoped to leave behind, while the people on the rival boat regarded the Servia with similar interest. Such close rivalry between ocean greyhounds during a voyage has never before occurred. Here we are in June, '87. In another year presidential nomin ating conventions will be in order. Every politician is already putting a wire edge on his tomahawk and scalping knife, and whatever the outcome, there will be great fun for the lookers on, and considera ble hilarity on the front seats. Jas. G. Blaine told a friend last week that it was Rev. Bur chard, and his "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion," that beat him in '84. , This is a hard whack at the mugwumps.

ASTORIA, OREGON. that the company is liable for the value of a lost package, regardless of the $50 limit which tho com pany gives on its blank receipts as the extent of its liability where no value is given. The court said: "If goods are lost or injured while in the custody of an express company, in the absence of evi dence which rebuts the presump tion of negligence, Jt will be presumed that the loss pr injury was occasioned by the negligence of the company, and it will be liable for the actual value of the goods. In the present case, no explanation was given for the failure to deliver the goods. So tar, as is.proved, they may still be in the, hands of the company and withheld from the owner." It may not be many years before a woman will be a rare sight in a de partment. Slowlyt but surely, they are being got rid of, under the oivil service system. They are not now seen walking arm-in-arm through the treasury corridors, or standing at the windows at noontime, with their cups of tea. It is not that they are closer to their desks. They are not there. Since Secretary Manning first took the treasury portfolio, and the new order of things was. begun, nearly twenty per cent, of the women have gone, and none have come in their places. When a female olerk dies or gets married, resigns or is dismissed, a requisition goes to the civil service commission for a man to fill the va cancy. I was asking why this was if it was true that women did not make as cood clerks as men. The reply was that some of them made better clerks than did the men. The trouble did not lie in that The fact is they are hard to deal with. Most of them depend! upon the gal lantry of the superior officers, and are constantly asking favors, many of them not hesitating or seeming to think it improper to ask high officials fiven as high as secretaries to make fake statements or violate the law in their interests. The most trouble is when examining them for promotion. Some have not hesitated to ask beforehand a list of the ques tions. So persistent are some that it reflects upon the whole class, and the departments have entered upon a sys tematic effort to get rid of them. Philadelphia Telegraph.
