IMPORTATION comes from Washing
ton that Senator Eaton's bill for free
ships will be reported from the Commit
tee on Commerce at an esrly day, and
that bright hopes are entertained of its
passage, SO far IA the Senate is concerned
The matters at issue seem to have narrow
ed down to the question as to whether
the ship-builders or those Americans who
desire to own ships, no matter where
built, are most entitled 10 consideration.
1t Is hoped that the decision will be in
favor OF the latter class. In spite of pro-
tests from various quarters, it can be
shown that TO use American-built sbips
is to add large percentage to capital
account, as compared with the results in
this respect were it possib BILE to buy ships
abroad. In the present condition of
ocean traffic this difference acts as an in
superable obstacle 10 successful competi-
ton. 1t follows, then, that if our mer.
chant is to meet with revival within
reasonable period, il must be done by
means offree ships. American ship-build.
ing will, of necessity, follow.-Record.

THE Detapdrean is a weekly newsna-
per published at Dover, the Capt. al of the
Slate. 1t IS avery good paper and strongly
Democratic in its teachings. 1t was com
menced at Dover by joint-stock com.
pany in 1854, and has enjoyed pretty
good time. We have often heard il re
ferred to as central organ, but never
supposed that it was to have supervision
over the Democratic press of the State :;
though it is possible some of the leaders
OF the party may assign it this position.
It's owner holds very high and honora-
ple position in the parry and i'll the conn-
CHS OIL the nation; and the DAILY GA
AErTE has not unfrequently endeavored
TO strengthen his hands and to hold I'M
MS utterances as those worthy of com
hehdatlol, we, therefore, think there is
something wrong when we find the Della
'odfedn attempting to find fault with the
"AZETTE, and complaining that it is
'pafSimonious" because of its denuncia.

Secretary RobesOn

In eight years of peace one hundred
and eighty million dollars were spent on
the United States Navy by that illustri-
Gus tar Secretary Robson. For a nation
which has no navy that is pretty Steep
Over twenty-five millions of dollars a
year Of the peoples money were handed
over to keep up a department whose ships,
If We accept them at the value put upon
them by Secretary Robeson-Ihe value
he put ON til, IN when he had some for
sale-would not have floated the whole
sum if il had been paid out in the dol ars
Of the daddies. Thiry-one ships of the
navy supported at this Xpense-thirty-
one ships which had cost the government
nearly fourteen millions of dollars-were
sold for tritle over half million. In
that connection committee of Congress
which has inquired into the subject quotes
the sugg' stive words of the statute as to
any ''person who steals or embezzles or
knowingly applies to his own use, or who
unlawtully sells, conveys or di,poses of
any ordnance, arms, ammunition, cloth
ing, subsis encc stores, money or other
property Of the United States furnished
or to be used for the military or naval
service shall be for sucth offences" dealt
| with under The criminal laws. But the
present sugg slion is that the ex-Secretary
shall be given an opportunity to defend
his expenditures III the methods proyid+ d
under proceedings for Impeachment 1t
appears that the republican minority of
the committee are opposed to the step
which seems TO us somewhat maladrot
on theiT part. If former Secretary of
the Navy was guilty of misconduct in of
fce all good citizens, without respect to
parry, should be equally anxious to see
him disg aced by exposure; but if he was
not guilty the men of his own party
should be particularly anxious 10 have
that shown, that even lhe shadow of op-
probrium might not fall upon them
through man for whose official career
they were responsibility. Y. Herald.

LETTER FROM KANSAS.

Enoch Lloyd writes from Sterling,
Kansas, that when he moved out there
he bolted the shutters OF the house
and locked the horse stable door at night
for fear of burglars and horse thieves, but
the shutters are now left wide open, the
horses are no longer locked up and he
feels more secure than he did in Chester
county, and adds. "You don't hear of
stealing, drinking and fighting out here"
He says:

did it all with one plough excepting IA
acres. We have men among the farmers
who are intelligent enough for almost
any position. Money commands from II
to 80 per cent. interest. Wheat has been
selling at 80 to 62 cents bushel. bought
seed wheat for 5Ta cents. Kansas is a
poor place for laboring men, as man and
boy can do all the work on large
farm.
Sterling is as good place as Pottstown
and anything that is raised can be sold
here. A man took 2.700 bushels Of wheat
off 100 acres near the town. | don't be-

81 bushels of wheat per acre are raised,
and there is hardly grain of cheat and
no cookie. The threshing machines
thresh and clean 800 to 800 bushels of
wheat day ready for market. There is
cool breeze nearly all the time, and in
working the horses they seldom sweat.
There are a good many grain dealers In
Sterling. Some days as high as 200 two
horse loads of wheat are brought in.-
80 to IS bushels are in load and the
horses will often come trotting along
with this load. Most of the roads are
like the Reading Fair track. We get a
shower about once week, mostly at
night.
This county is only partly settled,
yet this year there were $4,000 acres
in wheat, and counting 20 bushels to the
acre the yield aggregates 6S0,O00 bush

We have been getting % to 27 cents

The NEXT Legislature should look
into our Levy Court system and make a
radical change in the mode in which
business is conducted by them. The
work of these courts and their expendi-
lures itemized, ought to be published in
the newspapers, and the courts should
be required to square up their accounts
at least once in each three months, or
ottener, by paying for work done through
orders on the county tIeasurers. We are
often told that the Courts pay too much
for work done on various improvements,
and the party in power is made TO suffer
from the very fact that the people are
kept In ignorance, because there is no
authority for published intelligent state
ments OF what has been done. Such
statements are beneficial. They serve
as guides in the future for the conduct of
other works; and they relieve the mind
OF the public spirited people who want
to know what ii costs to build and keen
the bridges, public buildings, &c, in
order, and the cost of all other public
institutions. Nobody ought to be afraid
to make these statements more public
They are published we know once in
two years in the State Auditors report,
But that does not satisfy the curious as
to such matters. They do not wish to
wait.

There is a general expression of opinion that
something ought to be done" about the Acklen
case, but the precise way to deal with ii and
him does not seem to be settled. One suggeS-
ton is that he ought to resign Immediately. OF
course he ought, but he is not likely to do it,
unless, indeed, he sees expulsion inevitable;
but the probability Is that he will try to braZen
ii out as he does his social oStracism in Wash
tngton. 1t is reported, indeed, that the House,
for its own credit, will take action in the matter
for the radiance OF the black sheep; and in that
case il will be in order for his fellow repreSen-
tativeS who have used whitewaSh brush OF
such dimensions in his vindication to rise and
explain III what way they were imposed upon.
In view Of the grave charges made against him
by the New orleans committee and the specific
character OF the evidence in support OF the
charges, it would seem that these members
should be the first to bring them to the official
notice OF the House.
