FRIDAY. - - - APRIL 3, 1885.
Gen. Grant's condition on Sunday
night was extremely critical, but since
then he has been patting better.
It seems that the National Guard of
this tate instead of limiting the appro
priation, as originally stated, to J 100,
000 to purchase gronnd, etc., for a per
manent encampment, asked the appro
priation Committee last week when the
question came up before it, for 1200,000.
The Committee refused the request and
reported the bill with a negative recom
mendation. ALTnornn war between England
and Russia was regarded as inevitable
In London up to Monday last, it is now
reasonably certain that the Afghanistan
boundary, which is the matter in dispute,
will be amicably adjusted. This belief
is based on the pacific reply of Russia to
England's demand which was received
in London on Monday night. There
will be no ruptuie between the two
countries, at least for the present.
At the approaching marriage of Bea
trice, Queen Victoria's youngest daugh
ter, to a Dutchman, known as Prince
Ilenry, of Blattenburg, the Queen will
give away the tiride, which moves the
Philadelphia Prfss to remaik : "This
wi!l be Victoria's most conspicous act
of charity since she sent a copy of her
book on the Scotch highlands to a wo
man whose husband had been smashed
to death in a Government foundry."
Judge White, of Pittsburg, on
"Wednesday of last week, in sentencing
a festive youth who had stolen a pair of
roller skates for his "girl," denounced
the roller rink as the curse of the land
and said that if the prisoner had stolen
all the skates in the world he would have
conferred a benefit upo humanity and
earned bis freedom. This is pretty
rough on the rinks, but, as we said some
time ago in referring to judicial and
pulpit denunciations against them, they
will bold their own, at least for a time,
but that they will eventually die out Is
quite certain.
TnE nomination last week by Presi
dent Cleveland of Congressman S. S.
Cox, of New York, as Minister to Tur
key, has been received by the country
as one eminently fit to have been made.
Everybody has heard of Mr. Cox and
always to his credit. He is a very
scholarly gentleman and combires liter
ature with politics in a remarkable de
gree. Mr. Cox is an Ohio man and
served eight years in Congress from that
State prior to his removal to Xew York,
and since he resided in that city has
been elected to Congress eight limes in
succession. His public record is with
out stain or blemish.
The Chinese forces gained a victory
over the French at Langson on Friday
last. The Chinese are reported as being
fifty thousand strong, and the general
in command of the French troops asks
his Government to send him reinforce
ments "as quickly as possible.'; He
seems to be in about as tight a place as
General Wolselv, the commander of the
English forces, is in Soudan, or Upper
Egypt. The civilized world would view
with complacency the defeat of both of
these land grabbing powers in their at
tempts to ride rough shod over the
heathen, the one In Asia and the other
in Africa. A war between England and
Russia would simplify the matter amaz
ingly. In the State Senate last week Mr.
Lee, of Venango county, introduced a
bill prohibiting the issuing of free pas
ses by railroad companies. If the Leg
islature could only be persuaded to pass
a stringent bill on this subject accompa
nied with snch a penalty for its violation
as would render it? enforcement abso
lutely certain, it would shorten the next
and all subsequent sessions of that body
at least thirty days, and thereby save
the taxpayers of the State not less than
one hundred thousand dollars. We
have no faith, however, that such a bill
will be enacted, as a free railroad pass
is a thing of beauty and a joy forever to
a membei of the Legislature a boon
that he will never put aside if he can
help It.
Mahomet's notion about appoint
ments to office is set forth in the Koran
as follows : A ruler who appoints
any man to an office when there Is in his
dominions another ruau better quali
fied for it, sius against God aod against
the State." We suppose that this theo
ry worked well enough in Arabia where
no Presidential elections were held and
where such a thing as a postoffice or an
Internal Revenue C-ollectorship was un
known, but it won't meet the demands
of this progressive age. We propose,
therefore, to amend Mahomet's platform
by striking out the words "better quali
fied for it," and insetting in lieu there
of the words "better entitled to U."
When thus modified it will cover the
present condition of political affairs in
this country and will meet with general
acceptation by the unterrified Democ
racy. Modern history is full of notable in
stances in which Irish valor on many a
Enropean battlefield snatched victory
from the jaws of defeat and saved the
day for Britain's crown. History is now
repeating itself in this regard on the
shores of the Red Sea. Two weeks ago
when Gen. Graham put his troops In
motion from lierber to march to Ilash
een, seven or eight miles distant, they
were suddenly attacked on the route
by a superior foice of the False
Prophet, were out flanked and fell back
in confusion before the Arab spearmen,
when the Irish Lancers changed the
tide of battle by a desperate charge and
retrieved the fortunes of the day when
they seemed almost hopeless. In Lon
don this affair near Hasheen is claimed
at a victory, but whatever of that char
acter is to be attached to it must lie at
tributed to Irish pluck and courage.
And yet England, to her eternal shame
and disgrace, still persists in clutching
the throat of Irelar.ti w'th ar. iron hand.
It is now very evident that neither
William R. Morrison, the Democratic
candidate, nor John A. Logan, the Re
publican candidate, can be elected to
the United States Senate from Illinois.
The Legislature of that State, as our
readers are aware, is a tie on joint bal
lot, thus requiring one of the two can
didates in order to be successful, to re
ceive at least one vote from the opposite
party. It so happens, however, that
Col, Morrison is opposed by two or three
Democratic members, and one Republi
can, Sittig, from Chicago, Las not yet
voted for Logan, and pledges his life,
his fortune and his sacred honor, that
he never will vote for him. The Legis
lature has gone on balloting once a day,
and sometimes oftener, for several
weeks without ny choice and every
prospect of an election may be said to
have disappeared. There4is a chance
that some man will yet be elected, but if
he is, his name will neither be Morrison
nor Logan. One peculiar phsrse of the
long struggle is the gentlemanly man
ner in which it has been conducted by
the principals and their respective
friends, which is something unusual in
such matters. In a conversation at
Washington last week Mrs. Logan ex
plained how this feature of the contest
has been so strictly adhered to. She
said :
"You have no doubt observed that there la
an entire absence of bitterness in tbe con
test between my husband and Colonel Mor
rison. Not a harsh word has been uttered
by either of them or their friends, nor will
there be, for neither will permit It. We are
the best of personal friends. Colonel Mor
rison and mv husband were In tbe same bri
gade at Fort Pone I sod, during the late war,
and were wounded there. Mrs. Morrison
and I went to the battlefield and took care
of them. A warm friendship sprang up,
which has not diminished, and I don't be
lieve politics could lessen It either. 1 would
not listen to a slander against Colonel Mor
rison or permit unfair advantages to be ta
ken of him. My husband feels the same
way, and I believe Colonel and Mrs. Morri
son are as strong friends to us."
This is highly creditable to both sides,
and in this instance at least, relieves
the struggle from what usually gives
to a Senatorial contest its worst and
most repulsive aspect.
Ex-Senator McDonald, of Indi
ana, who was represented laet summer
as having got hi3 back up because he
was not nominated foi .Vice-President
al the Chicago Convention, and to have
bad it up again since Cleveland's inau
guration because be was not taken into
the Cabinet, has recently been at Wash
ington and was tendered by the Presi
dent the mission to Rus3ia, which has
since been conferred upon Gen. Lawton,
of Georgia. Mr. McDonald declined
the offer. The term of Ben. Harrison,
the present Republican member of the
U. S. Senate from Indiana, will expire
on the 4th of March, 1887, and Mr. Mc
Donald has an idea that he can be elec
ted to succeed him, and it looks very
much now as though he can. He thinks
that a seat in the Senate is a much more
desirable position than that of Minister
to Russia, and in taking this view of
the political fnture he is undoubtedly
correct. Mr. McDonald, who is a good
deal of a philosopherand a cool headed
judge of men, was asked after his return
to Indianapolis, to give his opinion of
Mr. Cleveland as President, and in re
ply he said :
"lie is a man of much more ability than
the public have been inclined to give him
credit for. but it is of a kind that d-es not
show itself until occasion calls it out. He
is an earnest, thoughtful man, who looks
upon official station as a sacred trust, and
will undoubtedly bend all his energies to
the faithful discharge of its duties. !So. If I
were characterizing his administration, I
would say the two leading ideas or features
of It would he efficiency and economy. Kv
ery one holding an office under him will be
required to discharge fully and faithfully
the duties that pertain to it, while he wifl
take measures to cut down the official force
to the lowest possible point consistent with
an efficient discharge of the public duties.
While all official changes that are made will
be made in the interest of his party, he will
not attempt to make appointments In viola
tion of the law or at the expense of the pub
lic service.
This is very sensible and is a correct
estimate of the President and the pur
poses he has in view.
TnE following nominations were sent
by the Tresident to the Senate on Mon
day last : Minister to Russia, Alexan
der It. Lawton, of Georgia ; to Italy,
Anthony M. Keiley, of Virginia ; Bra
zil, er-Governor Thomas J. Jarvis, of
North Carolina ; Portuesl, Edward P.
U. Lewis, of Xew Jersey; Netherlands,
Isaac I. Hell, of Rhode Island; Sweden
and Norway, Rnfus Magpe, of Indiana ;
Consul General at London, ex-Governor
Thomas M. Waller, of Connecticut;
CopfuI General at Berlin, Frederick
Raine, of Baltimore ; Consul General at
Vienna, Edmund Jussen, of Illinois;
Consul at Athens, Evan P. Ilowells, of
Georeia ; Consul at Manchester, Eng
land, A. Ilaller Gross, of Philadelphia,
The comments on these nominations at
Washington are highly favorab'.e. In
reaching a conclusion in regard to them
Mr. Bayard's voice has been all power
ful with tbe President, and it Is freely
admitted that he (Bayard) has done
more to elevate the service abroad in
the appointments made by the President
since his accession to power, than any
other man in the same length of time
who has heretofore held the high posi
tion of Secretary of State.
A writer tn the Philadelphia TTnie..
o! Sunday last, in speaking, among oth
erthings, of several public men connect
ed with John Tyler's Administration in
111, says: "Walter Forward was
then Secretary of the Treasury. He
was from away up in the mountains at
Somerset, and the late Judge Jerry
Black was then In his law office." The
writer is greatly mistaken. Walter
Forward, who was one of the f.,reniost
men cj his day, lived in Pittsburg, arid
never had a law office in Somerset. The
writer iu the Times confounds him with
hi3 brother, Cbauncey Forward, who was
a '.eading lawyer at the Somerset bar
and a very eloquent and accomplished
shaker. Jeremiah S. Black read law
in his office, and, soon after his admis
sion to the bar, married his daughter
Mary, in whose behalf he (Judge Black)
offered op snch a brief, but touching
prayer a few moments before he died.
Chauncey F. Black, the present Lieu
tenant Governor of the State, is named
after h'S father's legal preceptor, Chaun
cey Forward.

EXILAXW'S ALLIES.
OuLondon correspondent confirms
to-day the previous and less detailed re
ports of the temper of the English peo
ple. The belief that there will be war
is general. Tbe acquiescence in that
belief is equally general. Perhaps ac
quiescence is too weak a word. The
Englishman is a pugnacious animal, and
the Russians, since the Crimean war,
have taken the place in the popular
English imagination of the French as
" natural enemies." It is two genera
tions since Englishmen and Frenchmen
have beeu arrayed against each other.
I; is barely one since England waged
the last European war in which she has
been engaged, with Russia for her ene
my and France for her ally. Since the
tragical farce of the siege of Sevastopol
was played out, the Eastern question, in
one or another of its phases, has been
the chief question of foreign policy for
Great Britian, and all the designs of her
statesmen have been confronted by the
opposition of Russia. It was against
Russia that the "Jingo" enthusiasm
was kindled by Lord Beaconsfield, and
a war witb Russia would be more pop
ular in England than a war with any
other power whatsoever.
It is is a curious illustration of the
mutations of politics that Mr. Glad
stone, who was driven by the exigencies
of opposition to assume the character of
a philo-Russian and the instigator of a
new crusade against the unspeakable
Turk, should now find himself forced
by the exigencies of office to seek the
al) iance of the Tnt k against t he Russian.
As our London correspondent points
out, Turkey really holds the key to the
situation in Asia, and this fact is in fa
vor of the English if they make a skill- j
tui use ot it. J. x UTKlsu aumni-o is iu
the highest degree desirable for both
England and Russia. England is the
more likely to win, simply because she
ha more money to spend than Russia,
and it is likely to go to the highest bid
der. An alliance with Turkey would
be more humiliating to Mr. Gladstone
than to almost any other English states
man. It is not only because he has ex
pressed the most unfavorable opinion of
Tmkey, but because Turkey will be apt
to insis-, as part of the price of her al
liance, upon the virtual retraction of
Mi. Gladstone's Egyptian policy. It is
true that this policy has resulted in
mere disaster and disgrace, and that a
decent opportunity to retract it would
be a real boon to the Lnglisn people.
But Mr. Gladstone is so thoroughly
committed to it, and to all its disastrous
and disgraceful episodes and results,
that bis retraction of it cannot be made
to wear any semblance ot dignity. That,
he must and will make it, if it will be
effective, there is nevertheless not any
doubt.
The attitude of Turkey is thus an ele
ment of the first importance in the
struggle that seems to becoming. We
pointed out yesterday another element
hardly less important in the final out
come of the struggle, and even more so
in its early stages. Our cable letter
shows that it is gradually dawning upon
the common English mind that it has
perhaps been rasli in taking the friend
ship of the Afghans for granted, merely
on the ground that it has waged war
upon them, and put in the place of their
depose! ruler a subsidized servant of
England. Afghanistan ha3been talked
of as if it were the outer line of the
English defense and a trusty bulwark
against Rnssian encroachments. In
point of fact, the whole of Afghanistan
appears to be debatable ground, and its
southern, not its northern boundary to
be the outer line of the English defen
ses. When war is actually declared the
Afghans are likely to give some unpleas
ant surprises to the British confidence
in their " loyalty." X. Y. Times, of

Formeily Washington during the
months of March and April was crowd
ed with oftice-seekeis of all grades, and
from the heads of imponaut bureaus to
the lowest and most o'jscure cierks, ev
ery peraon in office was nervously appre
hensive of being summarily turned out
to make room for new favorites. Men
and women wnt about with Ion faces
and hunted their " influence," which, t,on and on just principles, acKnowI
in the slang of the departments, meant ! e'lKed we could not view any interposi
the Senators. Representatives and other
influential persons whose " work " had
got them place ; while crowds of hun
gry aspirants to office beset the Cabinet
officers and Congressmen to get, place
holders turned out and themselves put
in.
During a part of General Gran'ts i
eight years, in fact, this miserable g-tme
went on all the time ; not with the Gen- I
eral's consent, for hi urged upon Con- j
gress the adoption of sound civil service '
rules, but against his will and greatly
to his disgust and worry. J
When General Garfield came in this '
wild scramble was repeated, to the gen- !
eral disgust, and men stalked through j
hotel lobbies and the departments, boast- !
ing of the promises which had been
made them, and of rewards they had
earned. !

Nothing of this kind has been seen or j
heard here under President Cleveland, i
Those Republican journals which have 1
had so much to say about the hungry j
Democrats " are put tn shame by the'
condition of things here. There is no i
clamor for place or reward T there is no
talk of " promises " made. ; there is no
urgency for office. No doubt a good
many Democrats would like to take of
fice their Republican brethren have
never shown a lack of greed is this mat
ter but the fact is that there are no
crowd of office-eeekers, ami that the
deliberation of the President and his
Cabinet in selecting men to fitl even va
cancies and expired terms caunes no pro
test or clamor.
A part of this decent reserve is due,
no doubt, to the well-understood fact
that Mr. Clevela nd carce int office ab
solutely unpledged. He made no prom
ises before or after his nomination, or
at any time during the canvaas ; and he
positively forbade his friend and sup
poiters and tbe managers of tle canvass
to make promises for him. He came
into the Presideuey, therefore, with his
hands free. No man in the whole party
or country could come to him with a
"claim "or on the plea of an engage
ment made that he nhould l rewarded.
The wise courage of the President in
this matter is now the source of con
stant comfort to him and to his Cabinet.

There is an abatement of the war
excitement in London, ljt not of the
determination of the Government or tbe
people. Russia's reply to England's ul
timatum Is expected this week. Th
London J'imez of Saturday probably in
terprets England's policy correctly whe
it says ; " Even if the Cabinet were
disposed to preserve peaiv? by concession
af'er concession, it is now clear thai
such a policy would he as unsafe a it
would be dishonorable. Yielding would
aHenate tbe Afghans and degrade us in
the eyes of all the people of the East,
without 'n-realily averting war, which
would only be postponed at moat three
vears. A delay would only benefit
Russia to the detriment of England."
This loss of prestige derives additional
humiliation for England by the failures
in the Soudan.

HOW-TO SATE YOUR BOY.
The land is overrun with tramps and
criminals. Idleness and crime are on
the increase. It is time to look these
evils in the face and ascertain their ori
gin and the social conditions which pro
mote their growth.
In pursuing this Investigation it is of
tbe highest importance to find oat the
most potential factors of vagrancy and
vice. Foitunatelv, this is no very diffl
euli task. The statistics furnished by
some of our best and oldest prisons
throw a flood of light upon the question.
The report of the warden of the West
ern Pennsylvania penitentiary may be
accepted as a reliable statement of facts,
and it is an easy matter after reading it
to draw the pioper inference.
According to the report referred to,
of tbe 574 prisoners received last year,
477 never learned a trade, business, or
profession ; 70 learned a trade, and 27
did some occasional work without hav
a regular calling. Of this number, 499
could read and write and 75 could not ;
337 were either total abstainers or mod
erate drinkers ; 101 were occasionally
intoxicated, and 46 come under the head
of intemperance.
It will be seen that sobriety did not
save these men, as 03 per cent, of them
were quite temperate. Education did
not save them, as 87 per cent, had an or
dinary English education. But 85 per
cent, bad no trade, and when this fact
is stated no further explanation is re
quired. It is utterly useless to expect
a temperate and fairly educated youth
to make bis way in the world unless he
is taught some useful calling. If he
starts out into the world wholly unpre
pared to make an honest living, sobriety
and education will not prevent him
from becoming a tramp or a criminal.
He must inevitably take his stand with
those classes unless he inherits wealth
or some wonderful good forune befall
him.
It is well to brush away the generally
received idea that ignorance and intem
perance fill our prisons. The statistics
we have quoted from a State with a
white population, are matched by simi
lar facts and figures from the prisons
of England and France. Everywhere
it will be found that idleness and the
lick of industrial training are the main
features of crime. The lesson to be
learned from this brief summary should
be kept before the mind of every parent.
The only way to assure a boy's future Is
to give him, in addition to the proper
moral and literary training, a useful
trade, business, or profession, by which
he may make himself self-supporting.

In the wars of the European powers, in
matters relating to themselves, we have

With ths movements of this hemisphere
we are of necessity more immediately
concerned, and by causes which must be
obvious to all enlightened and impar

the allied powers is essentially different
in this respect from that of America.
This difference proceeds from that which
exists in their respective governments.
And to the defense of our own, which
has been achieved by the loss of so much
blood and treasure and matured by the
wisdom of their most enlightened citi
zens, and under which we have enjoyed
unexampled felicity, this whole nation
is devoted. We owe it, therefore, to
candor and to tbe amicable relations ex

consider any attempt on their part to
extend their system to any portion of
this hemisphere as dangerous to our I
peace and safety. With the existing

Why Gen. Grant Cannot Sleep.
Gen. Grant's inability U sleep comes
not so much from the condition of the
body as from the unrest of tbe mind,
lie has it firmly rooted that he is going
oul in disgrace and under a cloud, and
all that his friends can say to him in no
wise changes this belief. I5e talks very
freely with certain of his intimates on
tbe subject, and he tells them of his
mortiScatiori and chagrin that he should
have been doped by Ward, nd that so
manv pf-rsona should have lost money by
him. He thoroughly understands, and
indeed it is the truth, that Ward used
the DAflw of Grant to carry on his plans,
and that many persons were led into
them because they had continence in
Grant. And o Grant, with- a mental
disease- u-pon him. and consnions that
his end- is at hand, rests with wakeful
eyes dy in and day out, and thinks,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular Correspondent.
Washington-, March 30, 18S3.
Government machinery ia running very
smoothly under the new manRgenient. and it
is conceded on all hands that more and bet
ter work Is accomplished under the new
regime. As yet, tbe heads of the depart
ments have been able to do very little In the
the way of reorganization and reform, but
the needlessly complicated systems of the
various bureaus are receiving careful study,
and it is expected that from 1,500 to 2,000
clerks will be discharged in Washington
alone.
A large crowd gathered about the stables
last Thursday at the sale of Government
horses and carriages ordered by Secretarj
Lamar. The elegant equipages brought
good prices, but the money returned to the
U. S. Treasury is hut a small portion of the
amount that will be saved. An elegant and
expensive stable with grooms, drivers and
horses, all costing not less f 12,000 or f 15 000
per year, will no longer be maintained at the
expense of the taxpayer, and tne example
of honesty and democratic frugality will he
felt in all the branches of the service over
which the Secretary of the Interior presides.
It appears that the example of economy
has already been felt by the Republican ma
jority in tLe U. S. Senate, for the caucus
has debated a propositition to reduce the
expenses of that luxurious body ?75,00r to
1 100, WO per year. In. the first place, they
propose to return to Gen. Butler the house
for which the Senate has paid an annua)
rental ef f 15,000, and next, to reduce the
number ef clerks and employes, of whom
there are more than are neetf? A.
President Cleveland is maintaining bis
reputation as a thorough woiker. He keeps
cool, does dm thing after armther, never
tries to do two things at once, Mid has am
ple tinie to leok into and examine all the
questions he rt called upon to decide. His
habits ot hard work and tong hours will ena
ble him to give- the great work before him
conscientious and caretul attention. There
is no doubt he is-more or less bored by the
crowds or curior.n people who, more than
mere office seeker, wish to see the President,
but he does not frt or worry. A friend sug
gested to him the ather day that a wrtain
appointment which it was kuown wojld par
ticularly please a certain newspaper,, might
be advisable on th account. It wo'j4d se
cure tbe friendship of tbat paper for M Ad
ministration absoiu'felv- His reply U this
was : On, well, ttvy have got tocomrer
M it, anyhow !
He does, in fact, Itelteve that every repu
table newspaper in Oe United States wttl be
conoelled to come ta his support, beraitse
he oes not intend to adopt any course- or
nrtio as President of tbe Uoited States Steat
reputable journals csti sucseed in pera
de their readers is wrong.
When our bilious .lepubliean friends t
ca!l their gloomy aug'jries of what wonld
follow tiie election ot a Democratic Presi
dent, they must be amazed at the inaccura
cy ot their tmaa inatione. A few weeks ago
thef were indulitinK in-horrid visions of the
long haired, tobacco eating bandits who
they thought would take the Capital by
sttmn and rob t"he " tpulv good " and dainti
ly nice of their soft seats and salaries. Z$o
cil service law. they predicted, could stand
between these long famished outs " and
the long withheld gord things of office. The
ITnion soldier w onid Save to give way to the
gaaut and hung ry grv eoat. The dreaded
Lnioerat1c Preside rH h in the seat so e
esntly occupied by Ciwit, Hayes. Garfie?d,.
Hd' Arthur. Jjii! yt tfiings go on in Wasii-
rigUm much tun same as before. There i
mo decline in real estate consequent upon
dismissed Government- clerks having their
houses forced upon, the market. In fact,
; Uiere is no depivssiiMj anywhere excep in
; Stie minds and heaife- of those clerks who
I are eonscious tbat tdiey have nothing ta-do,
' and have no reason tn roght to draw salaries
from the public treasury. Outside of thia
'army of Republican spoilsmen, loafen and
;, oreatnres, male aed. female, who have been
-appointed and npT;eld solely by " influence,"
' H Is peaceful n prosperous at the- Capi

Haw Watch Cases are Made..
It ia fact not generally known tfiat tbe
James Hois' Gold W'UcK Cu-s really con
tain more pure goli than many "solid"
gold eases The doinand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of a very
poor grade of solid gold watch., cases
low in quality, ai d deficient in quantity.
These cases are nmle from 4 1 to 10 karats,
and a 5 or 6 karacase is often auld for 12
or 14 karats. It is sot economy to buy a
waarh case so pior in quality dial it will
soon lose its coh r, or one so sofo that it will
loee iu 6hape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging tiie works, or
one so thin that a slight blow will break
the crystal, aad perhaps the- movement.
It IS econorr j to buy a Jaws Bogs' Gold
Watch Case, in which none of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an erperi
wienf it habeen made nearly thirty year.
