SENATOR CRAG1N ON FOSTERING AMERICAN
SHIPpNa.-Of all the absurd propositions with
regard to fostering our shipping interests and
shipbuilding that of Senator Cragin is the
most absurd. 1t is simply to carry the United
States government into the shipbuilding bust
ness, or, what amounts to the same thing, for
the government to furnish the means to pri-
vate parties. Of course this aid is to come in
the shape of guaranteeing the bonds of mon
ster shipbuilding companies, in the same way
that the government aided the Pacific Rail-
road. Mr.. Cragin says in his speech advocat-
ing the measure, 1.-THE aid proposed is the
guarantee of bonds secured by property of the
company" In view of the Pacific Railroad
and Credit Mobilier frauds, of the corruption
generally that has grown out of government
subsidies, grants and aids to private enter
prises, and Of the impracticability as well as
evil Of such project, argument is unneces-
sary. We cannot believe Congress would ven
ture to authorize the scheme or give it aid.
The people would rise Indignantly against such
o monstrous act

A REPORT from the chief officers of the
Metropolitan Fire Brigade, London, shows
that only one-quarter of the water used in that
city for extinguishing fires is drawn from the
street MIGRANTS The balance comes from the
Thames. Here we have q valuable hint.
With river on each side we certainly ought
never to hear the excuse of lack of water to
account for failure in controlling fire. Gro
ton River and the various reservoirs are capa-
BILE of furnishing an abundant stream on ordi-
nary occasions but should we ever be visited
by confagrations like those at Boston and
Chicago our firemen should have means to
draw upon the inexhaustible rivers,

TIE TRoops IN THE South ORDERED TO
UTAH.-We are informed in despatch from
Washington that the President has ordered
the United States troops now in the South to
hold themselves in readiness to move out to
the Plains, near Salt Lake City. This will be
truly move in the right direction. The civil
power in Utah being unable to enforce obedi-
ence to the laws. it is time that the military
were called to it's aid. All Mormondom will,
doubtless, cry aloud and WAX wroth at this
decisive action of the President, but the
saints may take comfort in the reflection that
their grief will be spared by the carpetbaggers,
who will now have to stand alone among the
reconstructed chivalry.

mated their State ticket with Mr.. Haven, .
New Londoner, at the head, and have gone
into the Spring fight with one hand tied be-
hind their backs, the New Haven clique not
having had their own way. The democrats
hold their Convention on the 10th inst, when
it is stated as probable that Mr.. Ingersoll will
receive the honor of o nomination for Cover
nor. The election takes place on the 9TH of
April. If the disaffection among the New
Haven republicans continues there may be
some chance for the democratic ticket-there
NAV be, any way, if that noble band of liberal
republicans comes to the 'front.'

The INSANITY DoDGE-GFFNEY CRAzY.-
Of course, Gaffney is insane. There can be
no doubt of his insanity, for his brother-in-
law assured him such was the fact Said the
brother-in-law, after sentence had been passed
upon the murderer, "Gaffney, you're crazy.
Do you understand, Gafney? You're crazy
man." After this assurance the symptoms of
mental disease were rapidly developed, and
the criminal expects to cheat the gallows by
the insanity dodge. This kind of thing will
not do. 1t has been often said, with much
truth, that hanging is played out" 1t is
time that this insanity dodge was played
OUT as well. Hanging must begin in earnest
that murder may cease. Pretencss of insanity
must not be allowed to interfere with the
course of justice or the execution of the law
This Insanity" of Gaffney shows how hollow
and absurd are the pleas upon which so many
murderers escape, and this 'crazy man" at
least must be hanged.

SpAN--THE CARIIsT REBELLoN-It does not
seem as if the government of King Amadeus
has been completely successful in putting
down the Carlist rising in the North of Spain.
Railroad communication is still interrupted,
and no mails from Madrid have been received
in London for nine days. 1t is possible that
the interruption may be due to causes with
which the Carlists have nothing to do but
for the present it is rather a discouraging
sign and the reverse of fattering to the gov
erpment Of the young King.

A Coon THING FOB BosroN.-The Boston
Common Council have resolved to throw open
the Public Library on Sundays. This is very
good thing. All large cities that have public
libraries should follow this example. 1t must
have beneficial effect in Boston, where people
are SO Puritanical that they get stiff in the
back on the Sabbath for want Of something to
do. We congratulate the citizens of Boston
upon this evidence of progress and enlighten-
ment.

The FIGHT FOR THE CRY Srons. The
liberal republicans with General Cochrane at
their head, follow Tammany, under the lead
of John Kelly and Samuel J. Tilden, in Civ
ing in their allegiance to Mayor Havemeyer
and assuring him Of their sympathy with him
in his fight with the republican Legislature
over the control of the municipal patronage
Mayor Havemeyer in his reply assures the lib
erals of his intention to adhere to his position,
denies that he accepted the republican nomi-
nation for Mayor, and declares that the repub-
ican party is led by ''cotcrie who gamble all
night to cheat each other, and intrigue all day
to cheat the people" This may be encour-
aging to the liberals, whotried to defeat Mayor
Havemeyer. 1t is certainly not compliment
tary to the republicans, who elected him.

THE GALLONS Is LOOMING UP.-In Peoria,
H., yesterday, a wife murderer, named
McNulty, as told elsewhere, was hanged by
the neck until dead. He met his doom with
bitterness and revilements upon his lips to the
last He was to be hanged, and he felt no
gratitude towards JUSTICE Breaking in the
ribs of his wife with the heel of his heavy boot
was, doubtless, in his eyes such benefit to
society that he was astonished and indignant
at the position he occupied under the drop.

The CHAMBERLAIN AND THE COMPTROLLER
Comptroller Green having recently written
waspish letter assailing Chamberlain Palmer,
the latter official replies, showing that the
Comptroller's efforts to usurp the powers of
the Chamberlain, which have been resisted by
the latter, and were recently defeated in the
Courts, are at the bottom of the quarrel. The
Chamberlain charges all the delay in the pay
ment of interest on the city deposits to the
uncalled-for interference of the Comptroller,
and shows that if Comptroller Green's pro-
hibiting order should be withdrawn to-mor-
row the interest would be paid into the city
treasury Immediately.

Thiers on Post-Mortem Bonapartism.
The active and acute little gentleman who is
now the President of the French Republic does
not find much augury of good for Napoleon
ism in the death of the ex-Emperor His
views, expressed informally at one of his own
receptions at Versailles and reported in an
other column, are Of especial value at this
juncture for he has shown himself, of all
men in France, the one most thoroughly ur-
derstanding the management of the people at
present and approaching keenly the force of
currents of public thought. He thinks
that Napoleonism has received its death blow,
and that the attempts to resurrect it
will be especially feeble. He thinks
that NJ. Rouher, from his policy of occasional
attack, will relapse into that of mastery mac
tivity, which Napoleon adopted for some time
before his death, in waiting for something
wrong to happen the government of NJ. Theirs.
He looks upon Prince Jerome as a firebrand
in the household of the imperialist pretenders.
That prince, too, is protesting republicanism
just now, according to some authorities.
There is always suspicion of the shark
love for little fish in that of a Bonaparte
for a republic-the love to devour. 1t
is the aim of the best spirits in France
to-day to raise up such power of the people
that no Napoleon will be able to get his Jaws
around it. NJ. Theirs thinks the boy Pre-
tender nice lad, but only lad after all.
The opinions of other leading men in French
affairs will be found following those of M.
Theirs upon the same subject. The most
hopeful of the imperialists place the chance of
restoration at four or five years of, and all
admit that even then it will depend upon the
affairs Of the nation getting out of joint once
more. If the Republic can grow in strength
for FIVE years of peace Napoleonsm will not be
likely ever to turn in its grave.

'THEY DARE Nor Touch A HAIR OF Hrs
HEAD. The Cuban patriots and sympa-
thizers in this city, as reported elsewhere,
unite in the opinion that Spain will keep it's
hands off Mr.. James j. O'Kelly, our special
Commissioner in the island of Cuba. The
case of Admiral Polo's visit to Charleston
during the war is aptly pointed. He is now
Ambassador at Washington. What has he to
say for the brutal threat of Morales?

assuming any position it is not fully prepared
to maintain. Can it be said that our govern
ment has followed this rule in it's attitude
towards Spain? Let Secretary Fish answer,
and let him resignl The sentiment of the
people is against him. the honor of the nation
demands his retirement Let him Irvine the
laurels Of the San Juan boundary around the
golden crown of the Alabama award and enjoy
the fruits of his victories in private life. We
may have stern reckoning to make with the
Spaniards before long, and we want no Spanish
advocate and no connection of Spanish ad-
vocate in the national cabinet.
We make this demand upon Secretary Fish
not on account of the present position of our
special Commissioner in Cuba, but because we
feel that the time has arrived when the Ameri-
can people should insist upon o decisive
policy on the Cuban question, in the name of
humanity and fox the credit of republican in
stitutions. So far as Mr.. O'Kelly is con-
cerned, the threat made against his life is only
in harmony with Spanish policy. The design
of the Spaniards has been to deter him from
learning the truth in regard to the rebellion
1t is natural that they should throw obstacles
in his way and exhaust every effort to deter
him from pursuing the purpose for which
he visits the island. When he first reached
Havana the Captain General received him with
courtesy, appeared half disposed to grant him

"Our Heroes in Grey."s

The condition of our Cemetery, now under
going preparation for permanent improvement
and decoration, necessarily debars our people
from the sacredy solemn duty of paying fttins
honors to the memory of the heroes who gave
their bright lives for u.s." Still, We canno
forbear giving expression to the feelings which
animate our people by republishing the fol
lowing lines by the gifted and devoted Father
Ryan:
Do we weep for the heroes who died for us?
Who living were true and tried for US,
And in death sleep side by side for us?
The Martyr band
That hellowed our land
With the blood they poured in a tide for us?
All fearless on many day for us,
They, stood in the front Of the fray for US.
And held the foeman at bay for US;
Fresh tears shall fall
Forever-o'er all
Who fell while wearing the cray for US.
How many glorious name for US
How many story of fame for US
They left Would it not be shame for US
IT their memory part
From our land and heart?
And a wrong and blame for us
NO-HO-H HO-Iu0y were SlAiH IOr US,
And bright were the lives they gave for US;
The land they struggled to save for us
Cannot forget
Its warriors yet
Who sleep in so many grave for US.
were slain for US,
And their blood flowed out in rain for US,
Red, rich and pure, on the plain for us
And years may go,
But our tears shall flow
~ or tho dead Who hsya III cd in vain for
And their deeds-proud deeds-shall remain for
us,
And their names dear names-without stain
for US,
And the glories they won shall not wane fer US:
In legend and lay
Our heroes in gray,
Though dead, shall live over again for us.

Battle Lreek Mines.
From the Silver State June

IRON the Silver STATE June
Very favorable repor.s are .eccived
from Columbia District, on Battle
Creek, about fifty miles north of Mill
City. Some very rich copper Lodges
have been recently discovered in the
district, which was formerly known as
Pine Forest. An interest In one OF
those copper lodges was disposed of to
a Reno Company, and is now being
worked by the purchasers. About n
ton Of tho ore has been shipped and
the result is satisfactory. Recently,
gold bearing quarz has been discov-
cred within ten miles of the. cop
per mines. and the miners are In
high spirits. The ledge Is look
ing better than ever. We have q great
excitement here at present. The rich
est gold ledge ever found In the State
has just been discovered by Anderson
and Vary, close to the creek. Derby,
Bass and others who have seen the dis
covery, say 1t Is the richest ledge and
the best prospect they ever saw. 1t
was first discovered n short time ago
by George Heating and Leroy Arnold,
but although they put q notice on the
claim they failed to get It recoroed,
and there Is likely to be trouble be-
tween the rival claimants" Mr.. Tai
bert Is reliable man, and u%ndoubted-
ly a rich gold ledge has been discov-
cred rs represented. But the discovery
Of Gold on Battle Creek is nothing
new, as there has been m arastra In
successful operation on the creek for
the last year, and it Is quite probable
that extensive and valuable lodges ex-
list In the district, which has never
been prospected to any great extent.
