Such q statement we must admit 10 be
authoritative, for the ground it covers does
not positively affirm the doctrine OF total
abstinence, neither does 1t positively ceiy
it. We can understand this much al least.
tina. beyond daily use of an ounce and
half OF alcohol no healthy and laborlous
man can step in safety but whether lac can
be safe up to this limit; is point which
physiology has not yet settled. We should
remember, however. that all the solid pro-
gress OF physiology for these late years has
been apparently and steadily moving to-
wards the total abstinence ground.

The struggle between great guns and
armor plates is still going on in peace.
full way preparatory to some use of both
in war. The Russian ron.clad Peter the
Great has been planned to carry 2O-inch
armor, and the English 8l.ton gun, FIR
ing Q shot OF 1850 pounds. has been
made with the expectation that its shot
can pierce twenty inches Of armor. Sir
W. g. Armstrong is trying his skill on
l7-inch gun that will carry 1000 pound
shot. aud Mr.. Fraser. at Woolwich. has
suggest, d 160.ton gun to carry shot
OF 2,240 pounds. Sir Joseph Whitwortb
proposes. by the use of hexagonal bore
OF compressed steel and flat-headed
elongated shot. TO make gun OF less
weight than 81 tons which shall smash
an armor plate "a inches in thickness.
Mr.. Krupp has begun to make monster
OF lG0 tons, but there is as yet no ship
stout enough to accom- modate this piece
of colossal ordinance. AT present the
big guns have the best of the armor
plate, but it is not long since twenty
inches Of armor plate bad the advantage
of the most powerful guns Of the day
those which could penetrate fourteen
inches of plate.

During the eighty. nine months Of
Grants admin lstration. be has had
twenty -four Cabinet officers, exceeding
in number any previous Administration.
There have been two Secretaries o; State.
E. II. Washburne aud Hamilton Fish.
ths latter being the oldes, Cabinet officer
retaining his place. There have been
eve Secretaries OF the Treasury; A. T.
Stewart. not confirmed. George 8. Bout
well. .Wm. A. Richardson. BeDj. H.
Bristow and Lot NJ. Morrill,. Thtre
have been four Secretaries of War; John
A. Rawlins. Wm. W. Belknap. Alfonso
Taft aud ]. Donald Cameron. OF Sec
retaries Of the Navy there have been two };
A. Boris and George M. Robson. or
Secretaries of the Interior, there have
been three, Jacob d. Core, Columbus
Delano and Zschariah Chandler. There
has been three Postmaster Generals;
John A. j. Cresswell. Marshall Jewell
and John T. Tyner. There have been
Eve Attorney Generals; E. lockwood
Hoar, A. T. Alderman. Landaulet Will
liams, Edwards Pierrepont and Alfonso
Taft. Fish. Bristow, Jewell and Raw
Inns were good well-meaning men. The
other score were probably as good as they
could be and breathe the atmosphere Of
the Capital. Fish, OF the whole twenty
four, is the only one that has remained
and being man of integrity. he must
feel somewhat on. OF water in his pres
ent isolation. The President has OF
course q constitutional right to chose his
Cabinet as be sees fit, but he has no
proprietary right in il, and cannot in
justice to the party that elected him, OF
the country he rules, make such per.
sonal matter of it as Grant has done.
The qualification OF personal spite seems,
unfortunately. to be paramount in the
Presidents mind to the good OF the
country or the benefit to be derived from
an honest upright Cabinet. In this he
ia guilty Of ingratitude to the party that
gave him eight years of power. and was
restrained from leaving him in posses
sion OF the White House for four years
more only by the better instincts OF the
American people.
