There' was a time when we had an
--objection to being a fossil, even in a
political stratum ; • but if the Press
is right, we will fossilize a- year or
two in Frelinghuysen's place, if - the

THE probabilities are that Alaska
will have a territorial government
and some little care from the United
States. If all accounts of the present
condition of our adopted child are
true, there is good reason to believe
that Alaska made a mistake when
she- chose anew guardian. Ruisian
government, even if strict and harsh,
is better than none, and would pro
tect the inhabitants from the adven
turers that since its annexation have
pl undered it.

Slavery, the curse of so many nations,

Tut: terrible disaster last week at
Chester shows how little People know
of the dangers- lurking in manufac
tories using unknown' material. A
score of people were killed by an ex:
plosion caused by sornethin i g wlticlr
even Prof. Jackson himself. cannot
explain. All that is known is that
the explosion occurred and the peo- -, '
ple 15t!lv killed. About half the vic
tims were looking at, the fire from
curiosity. as is usual when a building
is bUrnino.. and The firemen were
working at a hopeless task, as there

THE great diFicoverieS•of
.the last
centur3 and the many improvements
made,. lead many to ask what can be
done in the coming years to parallel
the achievements of the past. With
steam and lightning working for man,
and a thOusand less important agents
helping him, it seems scarcely proba
ble that the nest, century can equal
-its predecessor. But the great
prOvements in - electrical machinery
in the last year Show that in that
department of. natural science, at
least, there must-be great and
portant advances ;. and it is safe to
prodict that, in a few years electrical
light will be common in every city
and village. It may be that it will
be some time before the apparatus
will he perfect enough to Make its
use practicable in every hobsehold,
but the day will come, and this is
donbtle;s only one of the many
profereents which the future. hides.
of the evils of the time is the
extravagant use of adjectives in con 4
versation ; what is technically termed
gush." 'lsn't it too perfectly beau
tiful for any
.earthly thing," and
4 . now deliciously lovely," are applied
,with reckless ithprovidence to the
most ordinary article::.' The• evil : is
growingand, especially among ladies,
is developing in conjunction with an
a.sthetieism. Men'are less
given to the al ti ;' but they may
stake large improvement in their se
lection of apt words, free from ex
travaganee. —lf one has an idea it
does not, add to it to have it sand
wiched with four or five superlative
adjectives, and if he is talking With
out one, the• use of them only makes
the fact more glaring. Good, plain
English, free from unnecessary
words; is best to express any thought;
and, if pdople would always remem
ber it, and that the excessive use of
adjectives is an evidence that the
trier lacks culture; perhipt there
'would be an improvement.
COWGRESS AND THE TAIRUT.
One of the questions that like Ban
qui's ghost -will not " down;" but,
which insists on perPetually coming
up to annoy the Democrats and' a
few Repnblicans who refuse - to work
with their party, is the tariff ques
tion. refuses to keep quiet, and .
timid Congressmen who fear to ex
press an opinion, tremble whenever
the subject of the tariff corries,np for
consideration. Members from Penn
sylvania,- if they represent their con
stituents, haVe little - trouble, for the
citizens of
,the Keystone State are
practically , unanimous on this sub
ject. A protective tariff is necessary
for every one in this country ; but .
the arguments in • its - favor apply
with especial force -in a State like
ours, which depends on coal and iron
mines, and manufacturing for her
Wealth. • •
A bill for the revision s of The tariff
is before the Senate ; Lind in some form
must pass Congressduring the present
session; and members may well be
careful of- their votes upon what is
the most important question in
Amelican politics. Just' What the
:committee should do .and of. whoM
it should be composed, are questions
upon phich there must necessarily
be a difference of opinion but there
Can be no doubt that a general, thor
ough investigation which shall give
the legislators knowledge . of the sub
ject aught to be made. After the
work of the committee is dene, then
Congress must impose such a tariff
on all important articles of. import
that come in competition with Amer
ican,manufactures as shall protect the
American articles. This country is
too ,young for free trade, and too
young for a " tariff for revenue only."
The •iniustriess demand protection
and the men who arc advocating free
trade are working for a cause that if
successful must inevitably close man
ufactoriee and mines, cheaper - labor,
farm values; everything in fact; and.
change thousands of men from con- -
sumers to producers. The policy of
• free traders is short-sighted and • un
reasonable, and is, as Senator Frye
well said, a
.compliance with• British
• ideas for . British benefit. America,
paying her workmen good;' living
wages cannot compete with the' pau
per labor of Europe. The laorers
of the Old World unable to.purchase
land, and with only,. the choice of
paying unconscionable rent or work
, inb at beggar wages, will always
manufacture articles cheaper - than
can be done here, and we must either
stop Manufacturing or give American
labor protection, by making a duty
equal to the dilterence ,between the
value of labor hereand in competing
countries.
That a nation should be self sup
porting, independent of other nations
ard able to sustain himself by the
production of eyery.necesiary article,
is a cardinal principle .of politiCal
economy. A govetnment or party
that is opposed, to a policy whiehwill
preserve this independence, does not
deserve the support of any intelligent
. man ; and yet a majority of the Dem
ocratic members of Congress are in
favor of free trade, or a tarifF which
will practically destroy our manu
factures and depend upon•foreigners
for our supplies: The tariff question
is not local, as Gen. Hancock thought
but.general. All parts of ourcoun 7 ,
try_ are affected by it, and the fanner
in the West who ships his wheat east
for the use of tho employes . 4 the
mills, has a better market, and ob
tains a better price foil& grain than
he could if free tradesliut the mills
and forced the laborer ; to become a
grain raiser. The 'voters of eVery.
State demand careful, conscientious
action upon this question by their
lepresentatives;_ mad they demand,
too, that they shall come
,out in a
manly way and support some policy.
The non-committal, afraid-to-vote
Congressman, who waits and - dare
- not express an opinion until a meas
ure has been successful, will not an
swer the demands of the • American
voters upon this question.. • Members
of Congress should know the wishes,
of the men whom-they represent and
then vote accordingly, if they wish
to do their duty 'or descrie the com
mendation of those who elected them.
• c •
Forty-five Democrats have pledged
themselves to vote against the bill
for the revision of the tariff; - and
Mr. 'Vance, of North Carolina made
a weak speech in favor of free trade.
A great,many Democrats will vote
that way, but the Republican party
will pass the bill, and when eleCtion
comes again the Democracy will see
that the party which protects the
laboring man, and legislates for Amer
lea and not for England, Will get the
support of the intelligent voters

Tun Supreine Court has reversed
the decision of JUdge Pearson. who
held that the legislatork of Pennsyl
vania were only entitled to one
thousand dollars, for • their -services
and that "salary " meant ; a fixed,

tice Sharswood delivered the opinion
of the court... lie says; To justify a

decisOn was the best which could be
devised. • One of the legislators in
commenting on this case, said .if the
Philadelphia. members and others
who went hothe over Sunday. had , re
mained, and all had - kept at work,
one hundred days would have been,
ample time to do • all the, busines's
which was done. '-With this decision
there will be littletO hurry legislatioh
and sessions will probably grow ion..
ger in the future. It is suggested,
however, by the Court, th ata bsen tees
may be made, to forfeit their pt.r

equitable. compensation • for L their
labor. .
_ LENT has come again, and for forty
days there will be a lull in Society,
and people will rest up for the Season
:commencing at Baker. A :great
many keep Lent - from religious
victions, and others because of social
relations with those who do observe
it, so- there is an almost general ob
servance of the time, and the eXperi
ence of this country seems to be that
Yeail by year more arc affected by it.
Many things are said for and against
the senson : of fasting; bift theinajority
of mankind are probably in favor of
it and - benefited by it.- - To many
the keeping of Lent is undoubtedly_
a mere forM, withotit :significance or
value
,beyond mere physical rest, and
to these I;aSter comes as one of the..
greatest blessings of,; the year. But
there are some who do not "lose in
form the spirit,;' and who keep the
fast days reverently as days'for spir
itual improvement;, audio these the
Lenten-season is one of moral-growth
and adiancement. That it is well
for eviry one tO.havea special- season
when he will examine himself to see
what 'advance he has made, morally,
is certain ; and as few are likely to
do this unless there is some time set
apart by a stronger law than mere,
personal clection . , - wesrmist admit that
there is reason to be thankful for the
form which, in the Episcopal and
Catholic .autrches, establishes a .pe
riod of rest and abstinence. But
valued- only by its -beneficial' effect
upon health, it, deserves commenda
tion ; :and those who consider it a
mere formias in too . many cases it is,
may see in the rest and quiet which
it brings a benefit that the tired vota
ries of fashion. 'at least :should be
thankful for. It:comes in mid-winter
when parties, entertainments and
balls have tired out all who habitual
ly attend them ; and to all classes it
brings a few week's of comparative
freedom from the.demands of society;
weeks when work may be done which
tyranical requirements of society
would: prevent at other times; and
when' needed rest may be obtained. .
'le any young man wants to obtain
education in the manly art of self
defence let him.go to college. There
he will find ample opportunities:for
learning, , and, what is better, an
abundant field to display'bis knowl
edge. The last row was it Lafayette
between the sophomores and fresh
men, and 'required the . whole police .
force of Easton to suppress it. Per
haps these little disturbances teach
reliance and fit the young men for
the battle of life, and they at least

terribly worked student who nomin

THE Star Route men are complain=
ing that there is personal malice in
their prosecution . . Perhaps so; but
there was more , general malice in
their transactions than their• most
bitter enemies can furnish in the
private line.

ing the three years Obis Presidency,
Mr.T . Hayes gave an annual party in

gant in certain of its appointments
known in many years, 'at' the Man

one entered the promenade hall a
lavish wealth of floral decorations
in each. Potted plants adorned,
every conceivable niche for thein in
halls and parlors and the, spacious

-the President stood to receive his

• WAstfiNsiToN, Feb.' - 10.-=-An
im
portant conference • was held at the
Navy Department 'last week in.re
gard to the proposed , re-organization
of the navy. - There were present
Secretary hunt, the members of the
Congressional Committees on naval
affairs, the 'Naval Advisory Board,
Admiral Porter, Rear-Admiral Am.:
men and the heads of all the Bu- ,
reaus.of the Navy Department.- A
general interchange 'or views . was
had and the tenor of the remarks was
favorable to the views expressed in
the last annual. ,report•erthe. secre-:
tary of the Navy. •;. .
lt was agreed that the n - ecesSi flea of
the service require prompt and liber
al notion on the part - of Congress,
and Representative Ilarria submitted
the draft, of a
,proposed :bill; which
seemed to meet with general favor,
providing for increasing and improv
ing' the navy. it was the general
expression that the larger lof the pro
posed new vessels should be
.con
structed first, and..the others built as
the .needs.of the service require it.
The bill referred to contemplates
the construction of large !sized fast
cruisers, at a total cost of: about $9-
500 5 000, and includes one vessel of
not
,less than 5,780 tons; two of not
less than 4,500 tons; two of not less
than .3,050. tons; one-dam, one tor
pedo gunboat, one cruising tdrpedo
boat and one harbor torpedo
,boat.
The bill authorizes the', Secretary of
Navy to employ an expert in naval
arphitecture, steam •engineering and
ordnance, for his assistance and ad
vice in this matter.
. .
Secretary Hunt spoke in person at
the meeting last.evening, and urged
with genuine eloquence tho necessity
of building up the navy and encour
aging the inefehant martene,.. "Our
relations on the Isthmus,” he said,
"reached a critical poitil. ,We can
not afford to give - up our r 4 ghts to
retain its control to any - foreign
power. It seems too we --settled
that with our vast possessions on the
Pacific increasing rapidly in popula•
tion and in devolopment, we 4ould
have some sure mode of communica
tion. across that .Istlimus,.whielt we
may call our own, and which ive must
at leivst fth-a time manifest our twill=
ty to. protect. • In orde.r to afford
such protectiob the consideration'of
the nucleus •of a navy- becomes im
peratively necessary. • •
Admiral Porter expressed' his en
tire approval of the secretary's pro
sition. •

Snell, of the Police Court, delivered,
his deebiion in the cases of the United
States against Cabell, Dickson and
Minnix this morning. In deliniifg,
the.functions ora committing Mag.
istrate the Court, among other pre
cedents, cited the action of - Justice
Marshall in the Aaron Burr case to
strengthen his -position in assuming
that his cowers in the matter in
question were ministerial and not I
judicial. The Court then proceeded
to define the common law meaning
of the terns - conspiracy, which, he
said, was the combining of two or
more persons to effect an illog.d pur
pose, and added .that the illegfil - act
of any one of such conspiring .par
ties bound all to equal rospre . e;iVlit,y
before the law.'lle,Coiirt reviewed
that portion of the testimony which
evidenced the relations between Mr.
Cabell. and - Messrs: Dickson and
Minnix, respectivelyand the various
bond transactions' which tools place
'between the above named defendants
and said that these relations and
these transactions were of such a
nature as to demonstrate the exia.:
fence of a'ConSpiracy to defraud the.
government,- and he would therefore
'decide, that - they should be held its
$l,OOO bonds each to appear before
the grand jury.. The Court then
adjourned.
