American ships.

New York Evening Mail,
How to increase the number of American
ships is question which must engage pub
lie attention until the United States flag
ceases to be such an intre uent spectacle in
foreign ports. Almost score of years have
passed since the war drove nearly all our
ships from the seas, and although prosperity
has returned to the nation, little has been done
to regain the position we lost as owners Of
ships. The accepted belief that no nation can
long rank at the front in commercial
importance without vast fleet of ships of
commerce, produces an unfagging interest in
discussions of what may be done to restore
this republic to its proper place among the
nations whose flags are seen upon every sea.
The action of the board of trade and trsns-
portation in adopting resolutions inviting
commercial organizations throughout the
country to appoint delegates for aconvention
to be held in New York or Boston, during
October, for the consideration Of what legsla-
ton is necessary for the improvement of our
merchant marine, is an important measure,
and such convention may effect much good.
1t is inevitable that leading topic for dis
cussion will be the proposition to permit the
registration under theAmerican flag of vessels
of foreign construction. 1t is conceded that
the substitution of steam for sails and iron
for wood in the construction of ships must
explain much of the failure of the United
States to regain what was lost to our mer-
chant marine during the war, since we have
net had the facilities for the construction of
iron ships in competition with foreign build
ers, and the purchase of foreign-built ships
for use under the United States flag has been
prohibited. That congress should remove
the prohibition is undoubtedly the prevail
ing sentiment although such legislation will
be opposed by some who declare that Amer
lean ship builders are now able to construct
iron vessels which, considering their SUPERIOR
ity, are as cheap as those produced abroad A
fair representation of the commercial orgsn-
izations of the country should result in an
expression of sentiment by the convention
which will be of value when congress is
again convened. But the advantages Eng
land, France, Germany and other nations
accord their merchant marine over
those enjoyed by our own are sure
to receive much attention in a convention.
Notwithstanding a powerful public
prejudice against subsidies, the people are
restless under system which imposes heavy
burdens on American ships which those OF
few, If any, other nations bear. France has

GENERAL PRESS REVIEW
Social Calumny
New Orleans Tim Us

The appetite for scandal is not entirely
wanting in any Of the human race
probably. But it may become morbidly vo-
racous probably. And it may superinduce
the stirring up of suspicious
things in the hope of releasing some uncom-
monty infamous stencil. The bsrouche not
unfrequently usurps the rights of the gsrb-
age cart and dashes along the aristocratic
thoroughfarNs, scattering nameless things on
every side One load of it astonishes; a
second may pass without comment as an in
sane escapade, but when they 60 in an end
less procession, attended bys dusty clowd OF
scandals, they would appear to require some
sprinkling down and some scraping up and
some hauling away of the dust and some
deodorizing Of the carts. This brings us inn
mediately to the vicinity of the remark that
scandals are becoming abnormally thick of
late and if something is not done soon some
thing or other will happen. The simple and
obvious remedy of new constitutional con-
vention, or at least constitutional amend
ment designed to make such scandals uncor-
stitutional, will occur to every one. In the
meantime, some of the lower order of news
papers unrighteously persist in lending
themselves to the promulgation Of such
scandals, without examining with sufficient
care the evidence on which they are based,
but give them publicity because they
are sensations and not because
they are known TO be true. Our
humble opinion is that such conduct is ma
ture and well considered depravity fortified
behind thirteen inch steel plated cheek, or
backing of sawed but seasoned conscience.
If any man shall not at once perceive
what is meant by sawed but seasoned con-
science" let him HE to a lumber yard, or
interrogate a saw mill. Our desire is to con-
vey the impression of something very wooden
and very tough in the persons who cultivate
the Objectionable things hereinabove alluded
to. If we have succeeded in that endeavor, we
will proceed to make another remark. 1t is
the duty of all good citizens to set their faces
against this deprsved conduct. If tn
scsndal-mongers would set their faces
against scandals, the faces would not be
affected, and the scandals would fall, blunted
and harmless, to the ground. Such, how.
ever, is not the bent of the scandal monger's
purpose. Then something else should be
opposed to them. If they are allowed to 60
on unchecked no reputation, of man or
woman will be safe, and no life, however
pure, will be secure against the shafts of the
culumniators If the social liars would be
kiad enough to take q rest, the community
would feel indebted.

The Revolt of the Moderate Republic
caas-Mr. JerOme's Letter.

The remarkable letter written by Mr..
Leonard W. Jerome, of New York, to Gen
eral Hancock will be read with great interest,
as coming from one of the foremost mem
bers of a very important class of citizens
who have heretofore acted with the Republi-
can party in New York, and whose financial
abilities we're brought to the aid of the gov
eminent at the breaking out of the civil war.
The great course at Fordham Of the jockey
club has made his name household word on
both sides of the Atlantic. But in the dark
days of the civil war he was quite as widely
known as a most persistent and liberal sup
porter of all the grea. war measures of the
Lincoln administration. His purse, his coun-
sci AMI his time were given freely to the de-
tense of the union. In 1861 he was among
the earliest advisers of President Lincoln's
administration in matters of finance and in
organizing the details of war loans. 1t is not
invidous to say that at that trying time no
one citizen of New York put himself at the
service of the country more alb
absolutely than Mr.. Jerome. He
was active, too, in the press through
the large interest he owned in the New York
Times, of which his intimate friend, Mr..
Raymond, was then the editor. Mr.. jerome
was one of the founders, too, of the Union
League club. AS "a life long Wing and
Republican" he assures General Hancock OF
his "most hearty support" This letter is q
plain declaration that the policy of the Re-
publican party, as formulated and carried
into effect by the leaders, has been and is un-
wise in itself and injurious to the country
As long as there was any possibility that the
transfe; of power from one political party to
the other would endanger the Fundamental
results OF the war, Republicans like Mr..
Jerome had no choice but to 60 with their
party. The nomination of Hancock brushes
away every reason and excuse for doubt and
fear, and commands, as Mr.. Jeromes letter
shows, the sympathy of the Republicans who
abhor sectionalism and strife, and desire
neither Jess nor more that that ''indissoluble
union of indestructible states which is
betokened by the nomination of Hancock
who is in fact and act what General Grant
was in word and promise.

The wisdom Of silence.
Baltimore Sun


Judge Poland, who was chairman of the
Credit Mobilier investigation committee,
which reported that General Garfield re-
ceived dividend of $500 from Cakes Ames,
knowing that it was balance coming to him
on ten shares of Credit Mobilier stock, has
written letter to Ex-Governor Fletcher, Of
Vermont, in which he takes the ground that
whatever may have been the finding of that
committee in regard To that transaction, pub
lie and popular judgment, has fully AMI
absolutely acquitted General Garfield of all
wrong, either in act or intent, in relation to
that matter. He regards this popular verdict
as conclusive, deprecates any attempt to re-
open and unsettle it as altogether wrong, and
appeals to the Republican press and to the
Repu blican speakers not to reargue matter
which in his opinion was settled many years
ago. The point of his letter is that it is wise
to be silent on the subject.

George Fuller's Suicide.

New York, May 2G,-Geoage ii. Fuller a
young man employed in the municipal de-
partment, Brooklyn, committed suicide on
Thursday by taking morphine. He left a
note stating that he had taken twenty drops
ofmorphine. In his diary were entries that
on May 10 he took sixty grains of
chloral without effect; on May II,
100 grains Of choral, and on May II
twenty grains of morphine, without effect.
There was also a letter to his father and
mother, saying that when he went to New
York he turned over n new leaf, and fought
against the devil and for God. He was truly
happy in his new life until troubles began to
pour in upon him. Among his papers were
several notes from u Miss Hordenpye, refus-
ing to accompany him to places of amuse-
ment, There was also the following letter
addressed to her, bearing date May IL
81 sent you note, q few days ago, asking
you to answer, and it would be the last letter
that | would ever receive, and you took no
notice oft, but treated it with silent con-
tempt, when one word from YOU would have
made me die happy; but, instead, | die un-
happy, and may God forgive you ms freely as
ofyou, only | am afraid itwould receive the
same consideration as the lust, and the favor
would be that you imprint one kiss upon my
lips when lay cold in death in my coffin.
May God grant that no one may ever torture
your dying hours as mine were made unhap-
Ply by your actions"
