problem which the situation presents will soon be solved

upon the facts developed in the Investigation
IN @ manner which can leave little doubt OF the
conclusions to which they will officially arrive.
Concerning the origin OF tho fire, they admit they have
determined nothing satisfactorily, and that IL will re-

no doubt that IL began in the remens room forward of
the boiler, and that 1t must have been burning for con-
siderable time before 1t discovered Concerning the
tho officers and the Of the boat after the
alarm was given, the Inspectors are very emphatic in
their censure. Believing that the testimony shows
not only direct violation Of law and neglect of
the rules Of tho Treasury Department before
the fire, but subsequently complete disorder
and Generalization of all hands, utter neglect
OF passengers especially of the women and children
and disregard OF everything except personal safety
They do not say that they believe the steamer could

STORY OF A MONUMENT

Some thirty live years ago there
stood upon the American shore Of tho
Niagara river, near the great falls, q
granite monument surmounted by q
beautiful marble statue of the gallant
Frenchman who proved such noble
friend to our country in her hour of
dire distress-the famous Lafayette.
This statue was the impersonation-
so to speal---of all that is beautiful in
the sculptor's art, and great was the
admiration its fine proportions ex-
cited among the thousands of visitors
who yearly thronged the region round
about to gaze upon the greatest natu-
raj curiosity Of the kind the world can
boast-the stupendous falls. For
years this marble image Of an illus
trious man had stood in majestic 81
lenee, keeping guard, as it seemed,
Ger the seething, angry food beneath,
apparently assuming by day the air
Of a commander Of the waters, but in
the mellow moonlight invested with
the aspect Of lonely, melancholy
watcher, waiting for one who came
not; .and none who saw it in those
days but thought it would remain in
its position hundreds of years to
come, when the dust Of dozen future
generations of human beings was
Wondering beneath the surface OF the
great Mother Earth. Alas for the fal
libility of the expectation.
One bright and lovely morning
in the pleasant month of June, just
as the first rays of the rising sun
glinted through the tree-tops, and the
air was filled with the merry twitter-
ings Of the awakened birds and redo
lent with the fragrance of roses and
understanding shrubs, and the earth
looked her lovlicst in a beautiful dew
covered mantle, and all nature seemed
rejoicing-a blasted "Injun" came
along with a pound Of powder and
blew the monument all to flinders!

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June Z. Is

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 7, 1873.
EDITOR CHIEF:
The trouble concerning the postal
cards is not ended. The department
has been making an attempt to have
the quality OF the paper improved,
and to that end sent special agent
to the works of the Morgan Envelope
Company at Springfield, where they
arc made, with instructions to see that
none are printed on inferior paper.
For some reason that company has
stopped work on the cards entirely,
and for upwards of a week not a card
has been printed. The contract with
this company was for Is, 600, 900 cards,
but scarcely a third of that number
have been furnished. The price paid
by the government will not cover the
expense of furnishing them, and the
company is losing money, but no
blame can be attached to the Post
Office Department., as the sample Of
the card and the quality of the paper
were definitely settled before the con-
tract was made, and there could not
possibly be any misunderstanding as
to its terms.
1t is not known whether this COM
pany will attempt to go on and fill
the contract or whether they will give
it up. Cases are occurring every day
in which parties make contracts with
the government for services, material,
ETC., at ruinously low prices, and when
they find they have burnt their fingers
they throw the blame on the govern
ment. To some men there is charm
in having it to say they are govern
ment contractors. The Morgan En-
velope Company seem to have been
determined to obtain Il contract at all
hazards, and now both itself and the
government are suffering because of
their folly in bidding so low.
Postmaster General Cresswell has
concluded to not rescind the contract
with the White Star Line for the car
rying of the European mails. The
officers of that line were required to
show cause why the contract with
them should not be abrogated and
they appeared the day before yester-
day by their attorney, Hon. Edwards
Pierrepont. The contract calls for
six steamers making regular weekly
trips. A clause is inserted whereby
the company forfeits $1,000 for each |
allure to take out the mails at the
'equlred time. Between the date of

it be maturely considered.

ground claimed exclusively for theol-
ogy it. is now taking position on
grounds upon which il was notexpeet-
ed. Itbas entered the field Of politics,
and now undertakes to demonstrate
to the politicians that there is a fun
damental error underlying the opin
ions always heretofore received with
out question. To professional politi-
clans, as to professional theologians,
it is an unwelcome intruder. It is not
pleasant to be told that the doctrines
Of "natural selection" and "the sur
vival Of the fittest" are applicable to
governments and to political parties.
They have along been making the
people believe that the control of such
things was entirely in their own hands.
While admitting the general truth of
the proposition that all things are
governed by immutable, memorable
law, they would make just one ex-
ception, that Of politics. To be in
formed that only such governments
and such parties can survive as are
best adapted to the surroundings and
the times, OF Ito borrow term from
the scientists) the environment, is
not consistent with their professions
Of ability to tear down and build up
forms of government and political
parties at their own sweet will.
A close and thorough examination
Of these doctrines as applied to gov
ernmental and political affairs will
dissipate all causes for alarm. It is
painful to have our old idols torn down
before our eyes and new ones set up
in their places. But, as applied to
politics, Darwinism is really the most
pleasant and satisfactory faith that

to follow the processes of reasoning
(for that would require volumes) l
may state briefly what conceive to
be the conclusions to he reached by
assuming the correctness of the ny
pothesis Of natural selection as applied
to politics. Darwinism would teach
us that we have, and may expect to
have the best form Of government that
is possible under the present stage
of human development, that that po-
litical party will have control of the
interests of the nation that is best
adapted to meet the wants of the age
and Of the country. 1t teaches us that
there are better things in the future
for the human race, that there are
great inducements to philanthropists
to put forth strenuous efforts for the
bettcring of the condition of their fell
low men, that no good deed can be
without its effect. P.
