TAFT'S INSTRUCTIONS

to the United States Marshals, telling
them in plain words that if things do
not work satisfactorily to the contin.
uance i'll power of the Republicans,
they can consider the soldiers as
portion Of the posse cOmitGtus, and use
the army as political agent. We
cannot help asking the question, what
is to prevent the application Of tins
rule to ourselves. If the South can
be overridden and oppressed in the
North, why cannot we? Surely it is
time that this whole farce of Govern
ment should be ended, and that we
place at the head of our Executive
man who knows how to rule in accOr-
dance with the constitution under
which the nation is organized. 1t is
an interesting fact thct Mr.. Evarts,
when AttGrney-General, gave pre-
cisely the opposite opinion. Its said
that Mr.. Taft was not aware of this,
and is now very much disturbed at
the discovery.

HELL GATE.

We have been for long time ex-
pectiDg the explosion which is to re-
move the obstacles which impede nav
igation at the He'll Gate channel, and
as the matter had proceeded so far
without disaster it was hoped that no
accident would now mar our satisfac-
ton at the completion of the work.
On Tuesday morning, however, as
some of the dynamite cartridges were
being unloaded to take their part in
the final blast, one of them was drop
ped by the workman who was hands
ling it. A violent explosion immedi-
ately occurred, and three men have
lost their lives, and two were so ser
iorsly wounded that it is doubtful if
they can recover. The body of one
of the killed was actually severed in
two, and that of another was hurled
into the river and washed away. 1t
is evidently the result of carelessness,
but not the less deplorable on that
account.

MINING REGIONS

we hear that the hardy inhabitants
are disguised with the way in which
things are managed, and are deterln,
ined to come out for a change of Gov-
ernment. In Ohio more especially,
where Governor Hayes is personally
known, the feeling against him is very
bitter among this class of the people
His sending the militia among them,
when their was no necessity whatever
for his interference with their con
Germs, has greatly exasperated them,
and they are determined that they
will not do anything to assist him i'll
getting an extension Of his power
They know too that all their trouble
and distresses arise from the bad mans
agement of the national Government,
and they perceive with all uHprcju-
diced men that the election of Hayes
means
PRECIPITATION OF GRANTIsM,
which includes all the evils and de-
testabie practices OF the present Ads
ministration, and they, with the hon
est and patriotic citizens throughout
the land, are determined that they
will do all they can to prevent such a
calamity. The republicans are work
ing very hard among these miners.
They are sending piles of campaign
documents, some of the description
which the Times correspondent re-
Gently condemned in Indiana, and
some with backs of the color which
will render them acceptable, as ac-
compartments to the bloody>shirt,
and they are literally pouring crooked
whiskey into the region. All these
things, however, will not avail. The
power of the party is doomed, and
nothing has done more to render Ger
tain this desirable end than Attorney

MEASURING THE CoNTINENT.-blr. George
A. Fairchild, OF the United States Coast
Survey, is engaged in transeontinenta
triangulation. The object OF this survey is
70 determine the length Of the thirty-nlntt
parallel from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast, and which will connect the surveys
OF the two coast lines. 1t will also furnish
additional data to determine the shape OF
the earth's surface, and then all these tri'
angulation points will give accurate data
for the surveys Of the different States.
This will be the longest triangulation eVei
made in any country, the distance
being some three thousand miles. Eleven
measurements Of degrees, for determination
OF the curvature OF the earth's surface. have
been made by other countries, OF which
nine only belong to the present century.
The present triangulation across the CONT
nent was commenced several years ago. On
the Atlantic coast the starting point was on
the Chesapeake, and the tfiangulation is
completed to Harper's Ferry; and from the
latter point special reconnaissance has been
made to the Ohio river, striking it on the
thirty-ninth parallel. Coming east from the
Pacific coast, Professor Davidson, OF the
Coast Survey, is in charge OF the triangula-
ton from point above San Francisco to
the Sierra Nevada. Some three or four
years ago the survey was started at st.
Louis, working both ways to join the work
from the east and west.-St. Louis Repu6lt-

oua;ntance was formed, and strong at
tschment. ending in an engagement, fol-
lowed, The young man presented his be-
trothed with an elegant ring. soon aiter
the engagement the regiment to which the
soldier was attached was ordered to report
10 che front at once. The news Of the In
tended departure was o hard blow for the
young people. But both were patriotic,
and they parted as hundreds OF others did
during the rebellion. After the departure the
bitlets dots1 were received and sent in rapid
succession. This state OF affairs went on
FOR something like a year, when, alas, it
ssfne 70 sudden examinations One day
the young lady received q very cool letter
from her lover, so much unlike all other
aetters she had received that she at once
wrote to him, saying she wished TO be re-
I leased from her engagement, but giving no
reason for the change in her affections.
When che letterw received; by the soldier
IN camp he was utterly confounded. lie
had never written any but words OF kind
ness and affection to her, and why she
should treat him so cruelty was more than
he could tell. He grieyed for some months
ever his disappointment, and at last
left the army and went to California to
through it," and il possible, forget his sor-
row. Here he renamed until few months
ago, when he unexpectedly received letter
from an unknown source. 1t was the dy.
ing confession Of an old comrade who had
caused all the trouble, and on his death-bed
had confessed that he had got hold OF the
lovers letters and destroyed them, sending
others of his own manufacture to the lady
, In this city. He had palmed off his writing
by copying the original. He being an OK
eellant penman, this was not difficult mat
ser. When the confession was fully authen'
ticated the man at once started for this city 10
ind his first and only love. BY a few In
euiries after reaching the city he learned hel
residence, and, better still, that she, like
himself, had remained unmarried. He made
haste to call upon her, and to his surprise
discovered the ring on her finger where h'
had placed it fourteen years before. A few
words OF explanation made them as nea
and dear to each other rs ever; and to Gu
