A DEMOCRATIC ORGAN SAYS "thc more the
back-psy operation of the last Congress is
examined, the greater uocs its iniquity ap-
pear" That is true. A majority OF the
Democrats in tho two Houses voted for Its
passage, and q majority Of the Republicans
against Ii. The salary srabbsrs" in the Re-
publican party could not have carried II
through without the aid Of their Democratic
brethren. The two made IN alliance to rob
the Treasury, and they succeeded.

THAT TRULY PIous MAN, Mr.. Ri chard
Smith, the editor Of the Cincinnati Gazette,
after q careful review Of the political and
social situation In the United States, has come
TO the conclusion that the great national
want" is an anthem which shall stir our patri-
otto souls upon all proper occasions. Mr..
Smiths finely at tuned feelings revolt against
yankee Doodle" Hail Columbia" and the
''Star spsngled Banner" arc not "soul stir-
ring" my country, It's Of thee" Is only ORR
ginal In the words, and the BATTLE Hymn Of
the Republic" twas ephemeral In Its teach
ings." These criticisms are exceedingly just
aud evidence profound knowledge Of the
aesthetics Of national melody on the part Of
Mr.. Smith. The want to which he refers /.
keenly felt by the whole country, and 1t can
not be supplied too soon. As Mr.. Smith Is him
self not only truly righteous man in mora
point Of view, but q poet and musician Of tn,
highest order Of excellence, why does lie not
Smith writo the new national anthem himself
and put the country under great aud lasting
obligations to him2

The New York World Is among the latest
of the Conservative journals to add circula-
ton to the lies which have been told about
the North Carolina University. Any one pos
sessed Of the least knowledge Of the political
affairs Of the State must know that the uni
versity has been ruined by the acts Of the
Conservative party, which has had control
Of the Legislature for years. 1t is true that
Its halls are deserted, and that the maguih-
cent grounds show the vandalic devastation
of the war; but 1t is also true that until re-
Gently the Conservatives have made no effort
TO repair that devastation. Now they pro-
pose to make 1t independent of the free
school system, and place 1t entirely under the
control Of the Legislature. We may expect
great things from this change, not the least
among which will be the enactment OF laws
providing that the university shall be used
exclusively for favored classes.

LONDON Aug 9-There is something theatrical in
Che Cabinet changes, but they have serious meaI-
ing and serious purpose, which, so far as an out
slider can know them. will try to state. All the in
fuences which have coDspired TO bring about so
curious a transformation can only be known TO Mr..
Gladstone. Others are known only inside the Cab-
net which has the greatest possible interest IN
keeping them unknown elsewhere. / have before
remarked that the assumption OF knowing what
goes on in the Cabinet, though sometimes ostenta-
6ously Iut forward is an afectatioD, or something
worse. And club gossip IS rather more apt to mis-
lead the inquirer than TO put him on the track OF
what he wants TO know.
Lord Ripon, who was President Of the Council
goes ont, and the public is invited to believe that
very urgent private affairs have induced him TO re-
sign. The real truth is that Lord Ripon is a weak
1nan whose place was wanted, and who could be
more easily persuaded to give way than any other
member of the Cabinet. He is also unpopular with
the country because held responsible for the Treaty
of Washington and its consequences Mr.. Childer,

THE DREDGE.

Z. Iron frame hbSet &C, Canvas bag without bo,som d.
Hesvy line. Q. hght Inc
The omen iron frame acts as a scrapcr and lifts
from their bed all the strange forms Of life that adj
here to the bottom; they are simply seraped up by
this contrvanee, and, with great quantity of mud,
are caught in the net behind the frame. But II IL
evident that nothing is more likely than that u
scraper pulled forward under such circumstances,
should catch under a rock; and if there were no
contrivances TO meet such an emergency. the FIRST
operations of q dredge might be the last. When a
fishermans hook is caught in the rocks, he immedi-
ately takes measures 10 get sidewise pull upon IT,
In the case of the dredge, this object is accom-
plished by having handle of the dredge attached
only by light line. 1t follows that when hard
strain comes tho light line breaks, and the heavy
line pulls thereafter at end Of the frame. The
obvious result is to pull the scraper sideways out Of
its predicament. This is simple modification OF an
old device. and is quite eficacious.
The front Of the dredge is rectangular frame OF
iron about two feet by eight inches, the long sides
extending forward scIapers, the short sides fur
nishing points of attachment for handles This
frame forms the mouth of fine meshed net about
four feet long Over 1.-THE net a canvas bag open at
the bottom is extended which TO protect Tho
net from injury while it is drsgsed oven the rocks.
To bring the scrapeIs down to their work weight
of about % pounds is fastened on the drag-rope
about one or two yards in advance of the dredpe.
The dragrope is tied directly TO one Of the handles
but is attached to the other only by light hne.
The specific value of the dredge is as a scgaper,
and it brings up in abundance the material which
forms the sea bottom. For this purpose there is no
more efficient instrument; and the determination Of
the character of the sea-bottom Is Of the most
important objects sought by the Fish Commission.
But where the bottom s comparatively smooth and
the chief object in view is to bring up the shesand

cality the tawl becomes more serviceable instru-
