From that time her mind began to be

from the stage for long intervals and
appeared only on important events like

seemed to forget her own wrongs in the
joy she felt in alleviating the wants of
others.

Which she established in New York
was FAIR means of support to her. bnt
her only Enccessful pupil was Agnes

Judge Freelon gave her 50 600 and she

If there is any one thing IN which
we take more pride than in another,
it is the advocacy of measures which
are calculated to reform trade and
purify the atmosphere of ordinary
commerce. 1t is for this reason that
we refer to the exorbitant rates of
insurance on merchandise shipped
on sailing vessels. by the San Fran
cisco insurance agents. The cost Of
insurance by ship likethe Dashing
Wave or Eldorado, is just fifty per
cent. higher than by the City of
Panama, which is an unjust and un-
fair discrimination. 1t is no new
thing but has been going on for
years, but it was established at
time when there were no tugs in
these coast ports; whereas now, the
Sound and Oregon ports have really
better tugs than those in San Fran
cisco. There is no first-clas tug in
that port to equal the Tacoma, nor
no second class boats that will match
Simpsons two, the Fearless and Co
lumbia. Puget Sound to-day boasts
of excellent tugs at every mill, save
Seabeck and Port Ludlow, and at
some places they have three or four.
Therefore this discrimination is
unfair because the entrances to Pu-
get Sound are safer than the ap-
proaches to San Francisco. There
are no Farrallone Isla- DIS, no "Po-
tato Patches" no Duxbury Reefs
nor no MONDAY Rocks, for ships to
ground upon. We therefore con-
tend that the excess premium on
freight by sailing vessels should not
exceed that by steamer more than
ten per cent. or fifteen at the out
side. It is chiefly onerous upon
small shippers, for in the event of
u heavy tariff such as we speak of,
the wealthy firms will act as their
own underwriters. knowing they
cannot very we'll incur more than one
loss FER year; and the money saved
by non-insurance upon the other
shipments will fully compensate
them. But the small shipper cannot
afford to risk his little 50, 900 invoice
that way, hence he must pay the
outrageous tariff demanded.
Steamer service has been employ
ed for years at nearly every port of
importance on this coast. Coos Bay
has the most dangerous bar between
the equator and the North Pole, yet
so efficiently are the tugs managed
there that the only sailing vessel
wrecked during our three years res
idence there, was cast ashore by the
ignorance of the captain who ran in
without waiting for the tug to come
out after him. Again we say there
is no justice in the coasting insur-
ance tariff. The rates of extra in
surapce on coffee from the Central
American ports is two dollars per
ton worth S4OO) more on sailing
vessels than on steamers. There
surely cannot be that much differ
ence, or if there is why is there not
a similar discrimination made when
it comes to the insurance of the ves-
sells themselves, instead of their car
goes? Our word for it that the ag-
gregate amount of losses paid by the
underwriters on steamship freight
since 1868 is greater than what they
have paid on sailing vessels. Dur.
ing that period the following steam
ers have been wrecked:

SENATOR MORTON'S OPINION.

The Indianapolis Journal of recent
date, gives the following. brief summary
of Senator Morton's views upon the
Presidents Southern policy. As Mr..
Morton has always been one Of the most
radical Republicans in the country upon
this subject, his opinion is entitled to
great weight:
The day for discussion has passed as to
the right or wrong of the Southern pol
icy of the Administration. We might
not have gone to the same extent in
placing the South upon its honor and
good behavior. We might, after what
has transpired in past years, have re-
quired sppe protection, or exacted some
bond to keep the peace. But President
Hayes has seen proper to accept the as
surance of the people of the South that
they will maintain the lava and respect
the equal rights of sil classes. and if
they keep faith with the Administration
his Southern policy cannot fail. The
same policy might have been inaugnra-
ted at any time since the close of the
war, had the people of these States come
forward with an honest purpose and
proffered the same pledges. As long as
their pledges are kept and peace main
tanned, the policy should be to support
it, and to that end we would sustain the
President ip the efforts he is making for
peace and Cancellation. When those
States fail to maintain the law and pro-
tect the equal rights Of all classes. we
shall expect the peace policy to be aban
doned by the Administration and force
policy inaugurated.

THE LATE .PEOPLEs" CONVENTION.

well! INC 1ecPsS nave uciO suolE COu'
vention. and the result is known-a
ticket made up of the nominees Of the
Republican and Democratic parties.
Now the thing that puzzles US is, what
good has that convention accomplished ?
1t has brought out no new men, and has
no great measure Of reform as its motto.
What was the object Of that convention ?
Why this and nothing more. Il was a
move conceired and carried out by the op-
ponents Of the Republican party. The
men who run 1.-THE Peoples Conven-
ton" were the same men who run the
"Peter Cooper or Greenback" convention
last fall. The same motives that actu-
ated them then are apparent now. They
then hoped to defeat part Of the Re.
publican ticket. "They did not expect"
they said, "to elect all, but a part"
That is their object now. The Screen
back" party and Democratic party was
one and the same last fall; the Demo
cratic party and the Peoples party are
one and the same now. The nomination
of Young and Slower was only blind.
and intended only to cover up their real
intentions. The object of the Democ-
racy this fall is, if possible. to capture
the Offices of Sheriff and Register. The
contest for these offices in the Republi-
can nominating convention was warm
and close, and it was doubtful Tor a
time who would be the lucky man. The
contest being so close, generated little
hot blood between the friends of the rival
candidates, and now the Democratic par
ty through their wire workers, seek to
take advantage of it. The Republican
convention was full, not a single town.
slip unrepresented. And We are ill.,
formed that the primaries in all the
townships were unusually we'll attended.
This being the case, there is no good
reason for Republicans to complain.
There were no candidates for any office
before the convention but that we could
have cheerfully supported, if they had
been nominated. We are satisfied that
Mr.. Gorrell is a gentlemen, aud would
have made good sheriff if he had been
The same may be said of
all the other candidate and also of the
for Register. But our present
nominees were fairly nominated, and are
entitled to the support of the Republi-
can party. In Captain Thrasher we
have a gentleman of integrity, true
Republican, and a man well qualified
in every respect to fill the Office of Sher-
if Of Allea County; and there is no
good reason why every Republican in
Allen county should not support him.
