when the small SIZE OF the craft is taken into con-

The success thus attained has suggested the
probability of securing like qualities in the me-

The demand for small screw propellers is becom-

when the large carrying capacity and other requi-

be gained by its solution are amply sufficient to
warrant thorough study and investigation.

democrats a way out of their troubles.

themselves there. we'll republicans. The
southerners. who are friendly with the democratic
party, have been accused OF giving political offices to

INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM.

From the New Orleans Times. August 2O.l
The growth aud development Of the free press and
the extension of the power and influence Of indie
pendent journalism notable incidents in the evo-
luton of modern society.
The free press organism which has been
evolved through the progress Of liberty and civiza-

history of the doings of the day. it is also the
mouth piece through which the people of u free
State who make and unmake governments express
their wishes and sometimes their commands. The
press, in modern Times. occupies somewhat the
tribuues did in Rome.
But journals may and are as varied in their tone

A CABINET SECRET.
. From the Baltimore SUM-


WASHINGTON. August 81 1879.
A few days before Secretary Schurz left for Ohio
prominent mau in politics. warm admirer of Grant
for third term and personal friend of the Secre
tary, had occasion to visit him. After they had
talked on business for some time the Secretary
asked what he thought OF the political outlook from
the republican point of view. Schurz replied very
frankly and fully giving his feelings hopes and
fears. He said that he felt that he was what was
known stalwart republican in every thing except
probably in his choice of the who should be the
next republican candidate for the Presidency.
He would have to oppose Grant, should
he be nominated. Should the nominee be
Blaine. while he would probably not oppose
him. he never could support him. His choice was
sherman; not that he believed Sherman the best
man for the republicans to nominate, but he was
just now the most available man for those rcpubli-
can who, for instance would rather vote for demo-
crat like Bayard than republican like Grant.
While in the Senate with Sherman he did not par
ticulary admire that gentleman, because Sherman
strongly proGrant in all their contests in that
body. but since they have been together in the
Cabinet he has had an opportunity to study him.
and he believes him entitled to have aspirations
the Presidency. When the admin stration first be-
gan its career he shy Sherman for the reason
that he looked upon him as extreme radical and
representative Of Grantism. When he and
Eyarts made it the ultlmatum OF their remaining in
the Cabinet that Packard Louisiana and Chamber
lain in South Carolina should be allowed to go by
the Board. and that military interference in the
local affairs of the Southern States should he
(Schurz) expected to encounter bitter hostility
from Sherman in the Cabinet meetings, but to his
astonishment he found that Sherman agreed with
him fully. This gave u majority OF the Cabinet
over the peace and conciliation policy and made
1t easy matter to bring Messrs. Devens.
Thompson aud McCrary. as to have the admin
istration act with unanmity After the d)wnfall of
Packard aud Chamberlain, Sherman continued as
the strong supporter OF all of the Presidents
servative measures. He never orce fnched. and
when he followed up the Packard and
Chamberlain business with his fight against
Conkling and the New York Custom House ring
Secretary Schurz says he concluded that here vas
the for the republican emergency-the einer-
gency being the killing OF of the Grant boom. "
He immediately urged on sherman the importance
of his entering the field against Grant. otherwise
that gentleman would have walk for the
nation particularly Blaine. Conkling and the
other standing candidates showed disposition to
step aside for Grant. Sherman consented and i'm
lnediately wrote the Haskin letter. announcing his
intention of being q candidate. Since then Schulz
says he has been working for Sherman in every way
possible for him TO do So He does not know that
Sherman will succeed but he feels that he has at
least gained his object. which is the defeating of
