lMERIC4Y STEAM SBIPPING.

When steam was first applied to ocean navi-
CATION, American builders had the good fortune
to lead the world in tho art of construction.
Willie they and the American vessel owners
had nothing to contend with except the free
enterprise Of their rivals in Europe, there was
every prospect that this country would soon
become the leading maritime power Of the
world. Young as she was, she had at that time
only one superior, and she made great strides
forward in ten years next after that date. II
is probable that had all governments refrained
from interference with private enterprise,
American vessels would be to-day carrying the
larger part Of the 100000 tons of commOdi-
ties entering into our foreign trade, in which
case the United States would have q larger
merchant marine than England has to-day,
Why should we not have had such q marine 7
Chiefly because our first efforts to run steam
ships in the foreign trade were defeated by the
lavish payment of subsidies by the English Gov
ernment, which entered into the contest with
the avowed purpose first Of breaking down the
American merchant fleet completely, and Of
grasping monopoly Of the carrying trade Of
the whole world afterward. When IN Ameri-
can line was subsidized by our own Government
to compete with the English steamers, the sub
sidy Of the latter was doubled. Wherever an

THE MADISON SQUARE DISASTER.

Public sentiment will demand a searching
investigation into the causes Of the disaster in
Madison Square Garden, and an unshTinking
verdict placing the responsibility just where it
belongs Four lives have been lost, and more
than score of persons have been injured. This
is a crime, which some one has committed, and
it is the business of the authorities to discover
whose is the guilt. The builder who made the
recent alterations in the Garden, and the Su-
perintendent of the Department of Buildings,
between whom this responsibility will natur-
ally be supposed to rest, make their statements
elsewhere. No one will question for a moment
Mr.. Vanderbllts declaration that the company
which owns the building would be incapable Of
deliberately raising a dangerous structure in
order to save few dollars on the cost of the
work. But it is quite possible that either ig
norance or dishonesty on the part of those who
directly superintendent the alterations, or in
difference or dishonesty on the part of those
officials whose business it is to see that all
buildings, and especially such buildings as this,
are safe, may have borne this CHASTITY fruit ;
and the inquest must, if it is to satisfy public
opinion, address itself fearlessly to this task.
It is but Just at the same time to notice that
both the builder and the Superintendent have
their theories of the accident. The builder
declares that the great heat generated by the
arge number of gas jets in the Art Gallery
l.aused one of the timbers in the roof to crack,
upon which the roof fell and the wall was
pushed out. Mr.. Dudley, the Building Super
intendent, shows that he required the company
to strengthen some portions of the work at the
time 1t was done. He holds substantially the
same view of the accident as the builder, except
that he has no theory to account for the break
ing of the TIMBER. He seems little disposed
to throw the blame on Providence There may
be reason In these views which is not at first
apparent to the lay mind. No doubt both On
these citizens are entitled to suspension of
opinion until the investigation is concluded.
But the inquest must he organized to find out
not to cover uD.

American line was started in good trade, a
rival line of English vessels was authorized to run
IN competition, and was sustained by subsidy.
Before the war of 1861 began, the American
ean-going steam marine had been completely
crushed and had withdrawn from the sea.
Our foreign trade is now transacted chiefly IN
English shipping and the efforts now making by
American citizens to recover some of the ground
lost twenty years ago are met with repetition
of the tactics of that earlier period, andare IN dan
ger of failure in consequence. In this age DOthmg
can be done on a large scale in commerce, except
with steamships Of large class, and wherever
American steamers of that class cross great
ocean in any direction now, rival English line
has been started to compete with Them Inc
private enterprise of English merchants In the
matter is pricked on by the Government, and
subsidies are granted with liberal hand.
Against the steamers to Brazil and to Australia,
a'war is waged which is we'll nigh desperate.
If the active policy of England in this matter
is maintained, and America remains passive,
this country will have, ten years from now,
scarce stray steamer crossing any OF the great
oceans of the world except perhaps some anti
quated frigate belonging to u navy which has
no commerce to protect.
Whatever the minor causes of the decay of
our carrying trade, and they are many, the one
great cause has been the competition inspired
and sustained by the English Government; and
in planning for recovery of the lost business
that competition must be taken into account.
1t would be useless to do anything for the good
of our shipping interest without paying atten-
ton to the aims and maxims of the British
Government. Nations, like men, cannot be
dealt with successfully unless their impulses
and maxims are understood.

THE MURKINSES IN POLITICS.

There was a family of Murkinses in Maine,
which resembled somewhat In its domestic rela-
! tons the political family which bears the name
| and carries the standard and possibly subsists
on the bounty of Samuel j. Tllden. Old Muir
kns was not much given to gush, and the pro-
vision he made for the family was by no means
sumptueus but they had to abide his unique
and angular discourse for the sake of the pro-
vision, thin and intermittent as 1t was. There
came time when old Murkins grew feeble and
took to his bed. "Why, Daddy"l said the old
woman one morning as she was fumbling round
the foot of the bed, "your feet are cold. You're
eoin' to die-bOo hoo" @Shut up" said the old
man, expressing himself in the familiar phrase
of the freside II amt goin' to die nuther, an
~ sposen l be-what Of it'9 "YOu DO goin'
u to die too" insisted the old woman, IAN then
@bOo hoo-what's gOin' to come Of usH' IL
9don't care darn what comes o you" growled
the old man" what want to know is, what's
"gOin' to come o me-"
1t may be that the Murkins case does not ex-
actly run on all tours with that of the political
family of Mr.. Tilden. The analOgies are few
that are perfectly sustained, as SenatOrE. Mills
paugh Madden says, all the way through to
the end Of the chapter" But we submit that
the present attitude of the Tilden party TO-
ward the old man." and the reciprocal relations
Of the old man" to the party, contain q very
vivid if not pathetic, suggestion of the scene in
that modest Maine cottage when the chill Of
approaching dissolution struck the feet of tho
grim old Murkins. The family and the old man
are equally anxious, but in each case the solci-
tude is, for number one neither, in the tcrso
idiom of the Murkins home circle, Scares
adam" for the other. The question on the one
side is "What's gOin' to come of as ?"-On the
other side, "Whats gOin' to come o. me?"
