Ennigrant Passengers.

There is some exaggeration in the style
in which the story is told of the death,
of five passengers on the steamer Re otter
dam. They were steerage passengers
and the five consisted of one old man
and four babies. For the old and the
very young who are also very poor life
is hard enough on shore; but when the
discomforts of sea voyage in bad
weather and the poor diet of the steer
age, are added the case is aggravated,
so that this number of deaths need sur
prise no one. The old man was racked
to death with sea sickness. The four
musings were practically starved, for
their seasick mothers could not feed
them in the natural way, and the steer
age larder is not supplied with delicaeies
fit for baby stomachs of the tenderest
age. But it is disclosed by this event
that ships loaded with emigrants are sent
to sea without physicians, and 1t is al
legged that the law does not require that
there should be physician on such ships.
If this is true the law should be changed.

Rutherford Ii. Hayes.
FrOnl Me BufdlO Comrier.


Senat Conkling has openly ex-
pressed the opinion that Hayes was
an accessory before the fact to the cleo
toral frauds. When 1t is remembered
that such men as Sherman, Matthews,
Garfield, and Noyes, who were Gov.
Hsyes's next friends, acted in the role
of "visiting statesmen" Mr.. Conkling's
conclusion that Hayes was cognizant of
the frauds becomes unavoidable. He
had, In fact, been an active politician
for many years, and while not apparent
ly possessing trace of genius, he is
certainly man of more than average
intelligence. On the 9Th of November,
1876, he heard that he was defeated, and
if any person watched the subsequent
proceedings closely he must have been
the man. He cannot have been more in
doubt rela i've TO the character Of the
Louisiana transactions than his associate
on the Republican ticket, Wheeler. The
ma nagement of the Florida frauds was
In the hands OF his friend, ex-Gov. Noyes,
since rewarded by an appointment as
Minister TO France. There can be no
doubt that Mr.. Hayes, at any time pre-
ceding the electoral count, might with
a word have prevented vr defeated the
frauds OF which he was to be the b, nef-
ciary.

Where the Peoples Money
Goes

a single Illustration will suffi ce to show
how wilfully and recklessy the public
money is squandered, and how daring il
the traud which, under false pretonces
and fabricated figures and cooked reports
saddles on the country rotten thing
called navy, which has none OF the at,
tributes or elements of a navy, exceDt
the assumed name, pay roll Of seven
ana half millions a year, and enormous
appropriations to fill the pockets of Job
bers.
The United States ship Benicia at Mare
Island was surveyed regularly BY a board
OF ofhccrs, and repairs wore recommend
Cd to the extent of fifty-six thousand
dollars. Instead of putting her in dock
ana testing her soundness below the
water line to determine if the hull was
in proper condition, the top work went
ON where she lay, until forty-two thou
SAND dollars were expended. Then she
was docked and bored, and found to be
utterly rotten and worthless!
Now. formal board of survey will be
ordered at Washington to pronounce the
ship wholly unseaworthy and to condemn
her for sale, and when stripped of the
copper, she will probably not fetch a
fourth part the cost of the recent repairs
This is fair sample of millions squand-
cred In the last ten years in the name of
repairs for old hulks utterly unfit for any
service at sea.
What is to be thought Of officers who
make such surveys as this Is shown to be
and OF other officers under whose direc-
ton the peoples money is thus criminally
thrown away? They form part of an or
ganized combination to impose a sham
on the country, because without it their
occupation would be gone. In the real,
professional and practical sense, there is
no navy existing to-day fit to contend on
the ocean with even a secondary power
like Spain. We have about thirty So
called ships, which can neither fight nor
run away, and less than dozen iron
clads that dare not venture to sea.
Yet In the last decade, two hundred
and thirty-five millions of dollars, or
IN ore than one-tenth part of the national
debt, were voted to keep up this patched
and worn out thing, and every report in
that time gloried the navy as progressing
to perfection, while Mr.. Hale and other
friends of Secor Robson, in Congress
denounced adverse criticism as unjust
and unfounded. We have now reached
the point where concealment is no longer
possible and deception is dangerous
The naked truth stands out before all the
world and is confessed by the Department
The thing called navy like the thing
called President, is huge Fraud.

A True Tramp Story, of Course.
From the London (Ont.) Advertiser.

HioIH Louuou kOHt.) ADVERTISER.
A story has been told us which seems
to go far in confederation of the late
Boss Tweed's theory of chances. 1t is
said that something like a year ago a
tramp called at the house of Mr.. Bailey,
in the township of Mosa, and asked per-
mission to stop all night. A little per-
suasion led to his request being granted,
and he was also asked to take supper.
During the meal Mrs Bailey called to
her little daughter, but the young one
paid no attention. Again calling, the
mother used the full given name of the
child:
" Isabella Stevens, don't you hear me ?"
The tramp looked up as if interested
and remarked, musingly, Isabella Ste
vens? Isabella Stevens? Have you got
any relations of that name?"
Yes" said the lady, that was my
mothers maiden name"
"There is" said the tramp, "an i'm
mense fortune in Cornwall, England,
which has been for twenty years await
ing claimant of that name who is sup
posed to be in America"
He then proceeded to give all the de-
tails he could, and the result was that
Mrs. Bailey wrote to her mother, who
resides within a few miles of this city,
and the last-named secured the fortune
and is now enjoying the fruits of her
daughters hospitality to the tramp.

A Bows Love for His Mother.

The following upon boys love for
his mother is going the rounds" in our
exchanges:
"Of all the love affairs in the world
nothing can surpass the true love of the
big boy for his mother. 1t is pure love
and noble; honorable in the highest de-
gree to both. / do not mean a dutiful
affection. | mean love which makes
boy gallant and courteous to his
mother, saying to everybody plainly
that he is love with her. Next to the
love of husband nothing so crowns a
woman's life with honor as this second
love, this devotion of son to her. And
| never yet knew boy to turn out )
bad who began by falling in love with
his mother. Any man may fall in love
with fresh faced girl, and the man who
is gallant with the girl may cruelty neg
lect the worn and weary wife. But the
boy who is lover of his mother in her
middle age is a true knight, who will
love his wife as much in the sere-leaved
autumn as he did in the daisied spring
time"
