The organization of the German army
has been brought to such perfection that
in one night any army corps can be mobIl
lied. In the Bureau of the General Staff
letters are ready stamped and addressed tC
/ every department and commanding officer
of the several army corps, only requiring
the date to be filed in for despatch in: ten
minutes. All the horses belonging to pri-
waite people throughout the country are
marked off for the regiments and batteries
to which they would be attached in war
time, and also the hour and the train by
which each horse would be dispatched to
its destination. The whole country is Or
ganized for war, and every individual
capable of bearing arms knows where to
being made for his services. All the rail-
way officials the telegraphists, and other
bodies i'll Germany, are soldiers, and the
heads of these departments are general
officers, who organize them chiefly to meet
the eXigeneies of war. Even the private
servants of the Emperor are old soldiers.
The German officers personally know
every man under their command, having
drilled them. Every Captain is response
BILE to the Colonel that every man in his
company is efficient by certain date the
subalterns being responsible again to their
immediate Supporters.

AT Durand Wisconsin, mob hung Ed.
MAXWELL; at Athens, Ohio, a similar out
rage was committed. These are both
northern republican States and If we can
argue anything from the statements of re-
publicans concerning crimes committed in
the south, they are entirely due to the
prevalence of republican opinions in said
states, Exactly why this is so may not be
exactly clear; but a republican will always
say that the only reason that crime is
the state is democratic, and consequently
we must turn the thing around and say it
is because these two states are republican.

designations and refusals to accept Cal

designations and refusals to accept Cabi-
net positions are now an absorbing topic
of political conversation.
Inside news from Washington seems to
point to the conclusion that when Mr..
Mac Veagh returned to Washington after
President Garfeld's death he became CON
WINGED that Mr.. Blaine was intriguing to
retain his place in the cabinet with the
view of using it to promote his chances
for the republican nomination in 1884.
Mr.. Mac Veagh was of the firm opinion
that Mr.. Blaine ought not to be president
of the United States, and he feltit to be in
his power to help defeat that possibility
If he publicly announced that he insisted
upon his resignation on the ground that
President Arthur was in no wise heir to
President Garfields Cabinet, but that he
had the unquestlonable right to select his
own advisers. Mr.. Blalne's friends in the
press and elsewhere would find it difficult
to claim the contrary, as it was their evil

Three of the five CONSPICUOUS candidates
of the republicans for the Speakership are
tainted with unwholesome records. Mr.
DunneH of Minnesota was conspicuous
member of the order Of salary grabbers
who attained such unenviable fame in
1878. Mr. 0rth of Indiana became SC
notorious through his completely in the
Venezuela frauds that he had to be drop,
ped as candidate for Governor after hay
ing received the nomination of his party
Mr.. Kasson of Iowa was constrained to
retire from Congress years ago after pup-
licitoywas given OTTO the proceedings of a
ivorce scandal.
But the party which had just openly
espoused reputation in Virginia, and has
accepted Malone as leader, and which
endorsed the Credit Mobilier corruption,
is not going to pay much attention to such
ordinary objections as these What the
republicans want is candidate who can
command the necessary votes to secure
an election. The cardinal principle of the
leaders is that the end justifies
the means, and that nothing succeeds like
success, no matter how it may be attained

TOFFICIAL PAPER.I
Tuesday. November 90 lss

i The verdict of the coroner's jury in tn
Jennie Gilchrist matter has been rendered
| The investigation Of that jury has beer
long and thorough; every witness tina
could be summoned has been examined
every fact has been probed to the utmost
This jury has determined that the owner.
of the boat were at fault for running a
night W hen they had only license to run
as daylight passenger boat.
The jury further censures the master and
! ly the fact that he had no anchor in readi
ness. Testimony was introduced to show
that an anchor of the weight of the one
carried on the Jennie Gilchrist would not
hold boat upon the rapids, but the jury
very properly held that if that one was
not heavy enough it was the duty of the
owners to provide one that was, and they
could not escape censure on that ground.
| The fact that no lookout was in attend
ance was also commented on. look
out is one who is present on the
upper deck and is ever ready to
carry whatever orders the master or pilot
may have to give to the crew. His pres
ence was especially on that fateful night
and his absence doubtless was fatal
The verdict in regard to the mate is a
strong one. 1t accuses him of cowardice
and that in the strongest terms. GAS to
the mate James Hier we think he acted the
part of a coward in not making any effort
to save the passengers and crew, he having
nothing else to do, is strong language and
is evidently meant. The simple story Of the
whole affair is told in those lines. No
effort was made to save the passengers
and helpless women went down to their
death because the officers were guilty of
cowardice 1t is short tale and soon
told. Men forgot their duty in their head
long strife for self preservation and the
dead bodies are the witnesses against
them. Men say it is-too much to expect
that man will have the safety of others in
his mind when his own life is in
danger, but history tells us that
many such an instance has occurred, and
proper behavior teaches that it should hap
pen again.
This total disregard of the safety of pas
sengers is the worst feature in the case,
and the jury could have been justified in
more severely censuring it. Ordinary pre-
caution in the shape of having suitable
anchor ready had been omitted, and when
the disaster occurred the vessel went swift
ON to destruction.
Even then there was chance to save
lives, and the hopes and fears of many a
dearest, hung on the actions of the officers, |
but that action was wanting, and the vic

dent intention to do-perhaps upon inspir-
alton. He certainly had as much right to
speak in behalf of Gen. Garfelds friends
as had any one.
Whether or not this move was success
full in defeating Mr.. Blaine's alleged par-
poses cannot be known, but Mr.. Blaine
shortly afterward defiantly announced his
intention of retiring from the cabinet in
December, and il is understood that he
viii formally tender his resignation as soon
as Congress meets. He and Mr.. Mac
Vcagh were apparently on good terms
during the trip from New York with Presi-
dent Arthur a week ago, but each gentle
man had often expressed his opinion OF
the other in not favorable terms-Mr Mac
Veagh with acerbity. Mr., Blaine in satiri-
cal phrases.
The motives that prompted Mr.. Mac
Veagh in pressing his resignation with such
insistance were probably not confined to
President Arthur. Perhaps they Were not
confined altogether to those above given.
Mr.. MacVeagh might have considered that
his resignation at the moment that the new
Administration came in would be regarded
by the people as a proof that he feared lest
under President Arthur the Star route
prosecutions would not be brought to a
successful issue. If they did succeed the
fact of his doubt on the subject would be
regarded as having forced vigorous pros
fail in fao Of no
almost universal conviction that at the
time of his retirement the Government had
an impregnable case, his honesty and indie
pendence would be vindicated President
Arthur did not accept Mr.. MacVeagh's re-
signation. He not only it is said, refused
at the time to accept the resignation, but
told Mr.. Mae Veagh if he had any scruplcs
as to the delicate position he held he was
willing to accept the resignation and there
after to Immediately appoint him (Mr.
MacVeagh) as his own choice for Attorney
General. Not only that, but he also offer
ed to appoint Mr.. MacVeagh, if he still in
sisted upon retiring from the Attorny Gen
eralship, as special counsel for the Govern
HleHt III chdfSe Oh tHe quar- route cases.
Mr.. MacVeagh declined both of these pro
Positions last for the obvious reason
that it would expose him to invidious
comment-and seems now to find his
course the subject of very general disap
probation. The popular verdict of APP
prevail as to the straightforward and digni-
fed course of President Arthur seems no
less general
