STEAM observation-disclosures

STEAM NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
MAcHINEkY.-An iron steamboat has
recently been launched at Leith con-
structed and completed with engines
and machinery by Messrs. Ruthven, Of
Edinburgh, upon an entirely new prin-
ciple. 1t is propelled without paddle
wheels or screw. it would be difficult
to convey any idea Of the arrangements
without sectional of other illustration
of it. AS the improvements, howev-
er, are important, few of them may
be stated. The hull has an uninter-
rupted line from stem to stern, so that
the vessel may have the finest mould
desired. The power of the engine is
SO applied that the seamen on deck
have the movements and navigation OF
the vessels entirely under their control
they can make the vessels 60 ahead or
astern, turn to either side, or remain
stationary without any change being
made in the engine, or any communica-
ton with those attending it; and this
done with the facility equaI to the NOV
ing of the rudder. There is not the
slightest vibration in any part Of the
vessel-an object of importance to
those on board, and advantages to the
vessel, and the loss ofpower is less by
this mode of propelling than by paddle
wheels. The same power of engine
gives an increased speed; and for sea-
going vessels or war steamers, these
improvements may be considered as
forming new era in steam navigation,
as they combine greater speed with
greater safety, and power over the
movements of the vessel that we
believe, has never before been obtain
ed. The advantages of the principle
adopted have been SO satisfactorily
proved, that larger vessel is, we I'M
derstand, to be Immediately begun.

THE MORAL OF A DRUNKARD's
DEATH.-The Salem (O) Village Reg
lister furnishes US with the particulars
Of death which occurred in New Lis
bon, a town in the vicinity, on the 10th
inst. There was fox hunt on that
day at which liquor had been freely
used. Becoming too much intoxica-
ted to continue the hunt, the poor
wretch lay for "some hours on the
cold ground, attended only by his son,
lad about twelve years old, who, on
finding himself unable to get his drum
ken father away, went home and in
formed his mother ofthe circumstance.
Still hoping he would return, she did
not send after him-night came on,
and he was accidentally discovered by
a neighbor who carried him to house
near by, where he expired in few
hours. His body was brought TO town,
and for some cause exhibited at gro
cery. The effec, upon his wife is said
to have been horrifying and heart
rending."
The next morning, the grocer, who
had sold the man liquor, brought out
the remainder OF his stock and burned
it-having first signed the pledge
His example was followed by another
grocer. AT the funeral the pledge
was laid upon the dead mans coffin,
and seventy-one persons signed it on
the spot. A collection at eighty dol
lars was then made for the widow, hf-
ty of which, were contributed by the
grocer who had sold the liquor.

We are indebted to the New York Tri-
bune for the following particulars of the
glorious victory in old Connecticut. The
triumph is omplcte--overwhelming
Last year Cleveland, the Locofoco Gov
ernor, had s25 votes over Baldwin, and
lacked but 80 ola majority overeverything.
Now Baldwin has plurality of about
1900 over Cleveland, so that the Wing
gain is not less than 5000! Baldwin
lacks few votes of an election by the Peo-
pie, owing TO the Abolition ticket; but he is
the next Governor of Connecticut, beyond
contingency.
Last year, the Wings had 5 Senators;
the Locos EG. Now the Wings have GER
tainly 4 . out Of the 81.
Last year there was majority of about
80 against us in the House; now about
100 Wings to 20 Locos. .a..
The vote is heavy beyond all precedent
Our returns do not show its extent, as three towns
are not included, and in many we have only the
majority. The entire poll will hardly fall short
OF 6OO00-3, 900 more than that Of Harrison
and Van Buren, in 1910. 1t was life.and.dealt
struggle, in which each party put forth its every
effort and drew out its last man.
Among the fruits OF this victory are:
l. Two U. S. Senators, one for -four, and the
other for six years ensuing. Hon. John NJ. Niles
has now been kept out Of his seat by insanity foi
four months, leaving the State but half represent

UPThe Democrats of the county hold a
convention in the court house in this place
to-day. The call was originally made for
the purpose of nominating candidates, but
we understand they 0he clique have de.
termined not to bring out their candidates
until the last of June or the first of July
or, in other words, and giving the true rea'
son, until the wings shall have nominated
their ticket. Our democratic friends, we
are told, have come TO the conclusion tina,
there are some men in the wing party, who,
should they be nominated, will be RICH,
hard TO beat, and under the circumstances
they prefer waiting TO see what they have
to start against. We are glad the demo.
Gratis and ourselves coincide in opinion on
at least one point; it is so seldom we arrive
at the same conclusions, either by the same
or different train of reasoning or circum
stances, that we are induced here TO note
this particularly, as well as the 'circum
stance" which caused them to adopt oul
views of the matter; which, in the main
we believe, may be attributed TO the indie
fatigable exer,ions of one or two prom
nent members of the party, who have beer
very busy Of late canvassing the county
and who, quite recently, have de clareo

TARIFF STATISTICS.


The receipts into the United States Urea.
sury from Customs, for the years 1888,
1889 and lS4O, were $50 ,798, 227, while in
the same years the British Government col
lected on Cotton and Tobacco, alone, ship
ped from the United States, duties 10
the amount of $13,63S,S2s. rzFs
Under the former Tariff Law of Great
Britain, the average rate of duties on lea.
ding articles, was $50 per cent, on the val
ue of goods in this market: under the ex-
sting tariff the average rate of duty is
$50 per cent. The law makes difference
in duties of l02 per cent infavor of i'm
ports from the British Colonies. r. leo
The average rate of duties charged
on imports from Great Britain and Ireland,
into the United States, will fall something
under 80 per cent! -.
The British Tariff fixes the rate of duties
on imports from the United States so high
as to amount to prohibition in many in
stances, which makes the average appear
higher than it really is under the actaal OPP
erations of the law; on Cotton, which
forms nine.tenths of the amount of our
exports, the duty is 7l.2 per cent, il is all.
soutely essential TO her manufacturing in.
terests TO have low rate Of duty on cotton,
and the great amount exported, reduces the
average duty.
While Great Britain admits no article
free of duty, except specie, from the Uni
ted States, we have. by our former tariff
regulations, received duty free, many arti-
ticles of British manufactures.
In 1910 the amount of articles imported
into the United States from Great Britain
