AQhmUed Fer the Next District Attorney.
There will be found elscwhere in this
lasueef the Intelligencer a thoughtful
article en the need of a reform in our pres
ent mode of conducting quarter sessions
business In this county. As most people tire
well aware, the amount of quarter sessions
work is tee large te be attended te at the
four regular terms, and an adjourned term
is held after each regular term. This re
quires a double set of jurors and a duplica
ting of the costs te the county. The In
telligencer last week suggested the
appointment of an assistant district atter-
ney and the conducting of two quarter ses ses
siens courts, presided ever by each of the
judges, in the upper aud lower court
rooms.
The plan has met with the approval of
the president judge, and it is clearly
demonstrable that with CO jurors there
would be an ample number for two trials
progressing at the same time. The saving
te the county in doing nway with the ad
journed courts and all their attendant ex
pense is seen at a glance. If the next dis
trict attorney will ask the court, an assist
ant will be granted him and thousands of
dollars will be saved te the taxpayers.
Will he size up te the situation that is be
fore him ?
A Page Frem Republican History.
In the hullabaloo that is going te be
raised in this state en Monday next by the
tour of Mr. Blaine through it, the effort is
te cloud the stat issues en which the bat
tle is te be fought en the first Tuesday hi
November. A great dust will be rais. d bj
parading Mr. Blaine through the state, but
after it all settles the intelligent voter will
see even mere clearly Mi in new the neces
sity of defeating the Republican ticktt.
There is a page of Republican history in
this state that was written four jeare age
by Governer Henry M. Tleyt, as a pretest
against the men and methods who were
behind the nomination of Beaver at that
time. The same meu and the same meth
eds are in this campaign, and if Beaver
wins, the same curse of bessisru will fa'!
upon the party as visited it iu the daj
when the halls of I.echlel house at NarrU
burg reseuuded with the treiul of the
claquers. Here is a portion of the prete-t
of Governer Heyt against the oke that
was attempted te be put upon him :
When 1 reflect en the humiliation put upon
myself as chief magistrate for resisting Beme
of the purposes of the machine which put
politics above administrative propriety, and
when I reflect upon the force e! the Insulting
methods applied te inyselt by means of
threats, Intrigue and bad faith, 1 reallzssetne
of Cardinal "WeUey's regrets that lie "hail
net served his Oed with half the zeal lie had
bis king."
Deej anyone suppose that easy-going
Beaver will fight the evil purposes of men
that mad him. Consideration of facts like
these are determining hundreds of voters
every day te cast their ballets for Black
mid the whole Democratic ticket.
Calls Upen the Charitable.
Charitable people have many opportuni
ties at all times, but of late the calls upon
them have been se frequent that the virtue
of replying te them is becoming greater.
The Charleston sufferers have no sooner
ceased te be the objects of charity than the
storm en the gulf and the lakes gives
another list of dead, of devastated homes
aud ruined villages, and details of distress
se harrowing that there should be no del
in doing all that man can de te relieve it.
Christian nations are much accustomed
te self-praise in the matter of charity, and
yet in emergencies like this we nre rivalled
by races we despise and from whose re
ligions we recoil with horror. Although
capable of the most savage cruelty, there
are emergencies in which the better im
pulses of human nature show inore plainly
in the Turk aud Chinaman than they de
with us. There are life-saving stations en
the Turkish coast, and the ignorant
Mehammedans who man them have per
formed deeds of unselfish heroism that
rival any that we can beast of. An
illiterate Arab saved the lives of many
thousand Christians during the last great
massacre in the Hely Land, aud jet he
never received or expected any reward and
get small thanks. He died recently in great
poverty.
The teachings of the Christian religion
are se far superior te these of the people re
ferred te that there should be a great
superiority in our practice ; and zeal te re
lieve all suffering, whether of friends or
enemies near or far.sheuld be strengthened.
Then in time the race may form a kind of
mutual insurance association against
disaster, beundby no law but that of com
mon humanity.
Ball In 'ew Yerk.
The laws governing ball In New Yerk
are peculiar. Ex-Alderman Sayles, etNew
Yerk, was released under"2 6,000 ball, his
brother teeing surety ter him. The ex
alderman departed , and the city was unable
te secure the cash, for the brother's prop prep
rty was all in real estate, which the city
was unable te preveut him from transfer
ring. The ease with which New Yerk ras
eaU escape justice, and their bondsmen
tBMipe less, lias long been a matter et won
der, and the rejple of that city are at
lwgth beginning te realize the strange
figure they are making before the rest of
tbe country. The great political import-

Tim preposition tocbange the name of the
Protestant Episcopal church te the American
Catholic church, new being dismissed at the

of the churchmen are radically opposed te
the innovation. The fatuous Rev. Dr. Philips
Brooks, of Bosten, eloquently pro
tested against a change ou Thursday. His
line of argument was in one sense a criticism
of the polity of the church which did net
authorize it te arrogate te Itself the title of
being the church of America. The composite
Church of America was that w hich embraced
the great Protestant churches of the nation.
It has been said that the church, wheu it took
en its new, bread and swc-epiug name, would
extend Us arms and embrics all Chris
tianity. Te style the Protestant Episcopal
church the American Cathelicchurch deemed
it te be the refuge of a contracted element,
In no seusa representing bread Americanism.

" Voj-agers of a Merchant Navigator of the
Pays That Are rust," Is the tltloef the llfe of
Klchard J. Cleveland, written by his son.
The title Is tiresome, but the book Is net,

llemauwasa uaUcUnr of the days that are

It Isllke the announcement of the heading e
Harper' HVrWu, " A Journal of Clvillzs
Hen," as though ether .journal were Journals
of barbarism, and there were. American mer
chant navigators in the day that are net past.
The father of ltlchard J. Cleveland was the
brother of President Cleveland's great-grandfather,
lu l, when sixteen yearsef age, be
was seized by a pres gang 011 the streets of
Bosten, aud tervesl for several jears en beard
of a British man-of-war. He was rapidly
promoted and became captain of the top, and
then midshipman, acquiring such a knowl
edge el all the details et seamanship, that
when he received bis discharge and entered
the American merchant marine, he seen be
came famous as the designer and builder of
the HWirt vei-sels that aftetwards ulayed a
prominent part in the war of the Revolution.
Thirty-flve days after Jim Declaration of
Independence he was commissioned by the
Continental Congress te Kit France In the
brig Dispatch, and procure arms and ammu
nition, pay I UK for them w ilh ti-h ami pi-tash,
as we had no money. He was the tlrst te
show our Hag In a European pert.
When the war was ever our privateers
were turned loco en the ivcau as merchant
men, and being tee large for the short coast
ing veutures, te which our commerce had
been restricted in colonial d i, the Salem
lleet (ler most of them hailed from that
town) seen becsme famous ler their long
ana rapid voyages te every known and uu uu
knewu quarter of the glebe. This foreign
commerce, se wonderfully successful, was
no doubt tbe secret of the Intellectual vigor
of New England and the proverbial sharp
ness of the Yaufc.ee. The crews of .tteui
ships were men of intelligence and ambition,
and it was the custom iu thoe davs te allow
every man a little space In the held ler the
slewing of his private venture. As all
looked forward te the day wheu thev would
"Fail the ocean blue'' In vessels "of their
own, they studied navigation carefully and
were proud of their seamanship.
The son of the revolutionary sailor made
his first voyage w heu emy eighteen, his oap eap
tain being twenty, and though the Eurepeau
wars made these veutures hazirdeus, the
profits were often hve times the original cap
ital, se that it is net surprlsiug that there
should have Leen such a demand ler men te
man vessels that the bevs became manly te
supply it.
A BOY COMM VM'tlt.
Richard J. Cleveland soeu became a cap
tain, and was one of the most daring and en
terprlsleg of the hardy navigators who first
made our flag known and resiected the
world ever. At twenty-tour he found him
self in France, aud Inning a little vessel en
two years' credit, be gave foreigners a speci
men of American pluc'i and enterprise by
undertaking a vevage te the Isle of France
by w ay of the Cai 01 flood ilepn. This v ey
age was full of adventure aud was followed
by ethers quite as daring aud mere success
ful, se that after an ab-ence et seven years
he returned home with 570.000, or seven
times the original capital. He had sailed
twice around the world, and encountered
perils that modern navigators knew nothing
of. As one reads the chronic e, in his own
clear English, etud veutures with mutineers
and Malay pirates, privateers and Oregon
sivage, it is hard te reillze that this In a true
description et the ocean as it was uet mere
than eighty years age.
The book isolmet an autotviegrapby,but the
seu has given thedetails el many adventures
that the modesty of the lather had prevented
him from emphasizing. Several et these in
cidents show the daring s,,irlt of the mau se
well as te be worthy ut special mentiuii
here.
On the coast et China his crew U e-oaped
English convicts, srnmied at Canten in the
lacK 01 euiier material, plotted a mutiny.
The yeuug captain get w md of it from n lew
falthlul men, and when the critical moment
had arrived, and the mutineers had gathered
for a rush upon their oilleers, two cannon
weretuddeiily swung round se as te bear
upon them, and a threat efgraK and canms
ter seen brought pace. Ou another occasion
he seized the ringleader et mutineers aud
had him tied up te the rigging. When his
fellow ers advanced torescuehim Cleveland
took a pistol In ea'-h hand, and "meeting
them halfway, leisurely laid a rope acressthe
deck, and threatened with instant death auy
man who should dare te cress it." It must
be remembered that thee were the days of
Uint locks, and a man with two pistols was
net nearly as formidable asa mai with one
revolver would be nowadays.
I-niVATKEKS AM) IMRA1K4.
His lile was a Iengseries of ups and ilewiis
and the fortunes that he made se rapidly he
lest wllb equal ease ler the seas were crowded
with the men-et-war and privateers of
France and EngUnd, and orders Iu council
aud Milan decrees, thrown bick auJ forth
across the British channel, had made the sail
ing of the seas by Americans a very danger
ous business. His vessel was seized ou one
occasion by order el the British Admiral
Cochrane, simple casu of robbery without
excuse or palliation. When In a beuth
American pert another American vessel was
summoned te surrender by a Spanish mer
chant ship, very large and mounting eigbtt en
cannon. The capum, Rewan, "nailed his
colors te the mast and told them they might
tire if they pleased." They did net lire but
several days after the American vessel was
bearded by a mob of two hundred Spaniard
and the crew ma-sacredj tbe cargo seized by
the authorities ou bhure. In these times we
had no navy. What have we new ?
Frem this nest of inurderers and pirates
Clevelaud escaped with ditllculty but found
the Spanish governors hostile all along the
coast. They actually fought a small battle
with the commandant of the pert of San Diege
California, disarming the guard he had
placed en beard and silencing the guns of
bis fort by well directed broadsides.
His last great enterprise was a voyage te
Seuth America in command of a large ship
owned by Jehn Jacob Aster, and having u
cargo el great value. A consignment el
muskets which Mr. Aster insisted upon
sending in the vessel, gave the Spaniards all
the pretext needed for its seizure, aud drove
the desjsjrate sailor te tl.e planning of oneof
the most daring schemes that history records.
Nothing less than the seizure of a Spanish
frigate and the revolutionizing el tbe king,
domefl'eru. This project was carefully
planned aud only failed because the wind
fell and u dead calm held the vessel motion
less. Truly It Unet wonderful that the best and
ablest men et the time should have Joined
with Rebert Fulton In proclaiming, "The
liberty et the seas will be the baimlucis of
the earth."

"The I.iloet Rebert Fulteuainl a History

book that is worthy el mere than a passing
notice, llrst because of local Interest in the
subject or tlie first half el the title, und sec
ondly, because of the excellence of the whole
book. The writer, Themas W. Knox, has
evidently devoted much tlme und labor te
It, and the result is a book that can be
skimmed ever and found as full of Interest
as any novel, or may be read carefully as an
accurate chronicle and commentary en the
marvelous change that steam navigation
lias wrought In the memory of living men.

that such lights bad been suitled upon by the

Mr Kue In most entertaining style and
with earetnl attention tedetail aud incident
traces the trials, the struggles and the tri
umphs of Rebert Fulton from youth te
death, from the piddle beat te the building
et the first war steamer, and it Is net merely
a lecerd or th application of steam te navi
gation, but of the many enterprises In which
the man's restless energy found scope. The
account el his successful submarine beat will
surprNe these who have mere recently been
astonished bv Jules Verne's story of the
Nautllu and Its partial realization in the
recent perlermances of submarine beats In
France and Ru-ss, and in New Yerk harbor.
Mr. Kuex Urst traced the history of steam

gives se many graphic descriptions of the

ly. Iu fact the whole work, though at times
encumbered with sclentiilc detail, ts se ar
ranged that this can be readily skipped by
the unselentilic. When the reader reaches
the account et the progress of ocean steam
ship building he will no doubt find much
el this dead matter, unless he be a second
Pulton, and can move en te the closing
chapters en vessels et war, torpedoes, and
submarine navigation.
That this marvelous progress is largely the
result of the Impetus given by the ixind and
will of one mau the reader is never si.tlered
te forget, for he has ben told hew Fulton
succeeded net alone iu the building of steam
ships, but In the construction of submarine
ships, submirina guusaud torpedoes.
A H11AVE JOKCn.
This smrgests a comment en the mveL ter's
coolness and courage and his way of keeping
all controllable circumstances under perfect
sway. He was lecturing te a large audience
iu New Y'erk ou torpedoes, aud alter arous areus
lug much interest by exblbiting the torpedo
cases and the clockwork that caused the ex
plosion wheu the machine had been placed
under a ves.sel and the operator had reached
a sale distance, he turned te a cese aud draw draw
leg out a peg, said : "Gentlemen, this Is a
charged torpedo, with which precisely In its
present b'ate, I inteud te blew up a vessel. It
contains eue hundred and seventy pounds of
(xwder, and it I were te allow thedockwerk
te run ratteen minutes it would blew us all te
atoms." The hall was emptv in a lew min
utes, aud though he calmly replaced the peg,
he could net iuduce the Irlghlened citizens
te return.
When the Euglish admiralty commission
suggested tnat Fulton should accept a re
warden condition of suppressing his torpedo
system, be replied : " I will never consent
te let these inventions lie dormant, should
my country at auy time have need et them.
Were you te grant 1110 an annuity of $4e,00u
a year, I would sacrilice all te the satety and
Independence of my country."
Our citizens de net all appreciate the facts
that cue of the greatest men our country
ever produced, the first great inventor of u
nation of inventors, was net u Yankee, but a
citizen of our ceuuty ; and made his Urst
successful inventions In the celebration of
the Fourth of July by rockets and the navi
gation of the Conestoga by paddles. These
things should revive our patriotic pride and
our interest in the Couestega.

YOU lt.ivc no doubt found it dilTtctilt te find a satisfactory soap
for office use where the consumption is considerable and ex
pensive soaps cannot be afforded. "Cheap" soaps are used, but
from their greasy, acrid and irritating character, arc very unsatis
factory. Ne such experience can occur with the Iveky Seap, for
it is eqiVj tnirc ai,d n0 enc ,s se Per 1,lt can afford "the Ivery."

A WORD OF WARNING.
1 here arc many white seapj, each represented te be " just as geed as the 'Ivery' j"
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities
of the genuine. Ask for "Ivery" Seap and insist upon getting it.
