THE resignation of Homer E. Sargent,
as general manager of the Northern Pacific
RAILROAD, is generally regretted all along the
line. and by the directors as WELL if their
resolution extolling his faithfulness and
ability, are not entirely complimentary.
The question naturally arises, why did he
resign, and that is easily answered. Though
occupying the position of general manager
he claims that he was not allowed to ex-
ercise what he deemed the just prerogatives
of his position, and was compelled to divide
the legitimate authority and responsibility
of management with other operating Of
fiicials. He protested, the directors in
sisted, and the result was his resignation,
which was reluctantly accepted. A de-
cision as to which was in the right cannot
readily be made without full knowledge of
all the facts, and. indeed, it is unnecessary.
General Haupt who is reported to be en-
tirely competent in every respect, takes the
management subject to the conditions
which were so distasteful to Gen. Sargent.

SEVENTEEN leading trade and CONNER
cial centres report that the value of bust
ness done in the first quarter of the current
year fell behind that transacted dur
ing the corresponding portion of 1880. The
unusual severity and lingering character of
the winter weather, with the lack of trans
fer faculties, occasioned by blockaded rail-
roads, combined to produce this result. The
outlook, however, is bright for brisk bust
ness during the spring and summer.

Mr.. KIRKwooD, of Iowa, the venerable
secretary of the interior, thinks the civil
zation of the Indians peculiar and diff
cult problem. He is reported to have said
recently, that when the young brave, after
days of hard and vexatious labor, has fairly
broken his wild pony to the plough, the wo-
men of his acquaintance and family will
gather about him and taunt him for doing
squaws' work; offering him articles of their
own female:apparel as suitable for his pres
ent occupation. He is angered and ashamed,
abandons his plough, mounts his pony,
rides off, gives up agricultural life, and
henceforth devotes his valuable life to the
consumption Of government rations and il
icit whisky. This is strong presentation
OF the case, though it contains elements Of
truth. But the situation is not so bad as
formerly. Tie women are becoming more
acquainted with the comforts attending civ
ilized life and are breaking away from saw
age traditions; they also realize the diff
ference between their own condition and
that of white women whose comforts is sed-
uously guarded by husbands, sons and
fathers.

Communism in New York.

From the New York Tribune.
A meeting in the interests of the anti-tigh
rent movement was held recently A number
of speeches were made, principally in German.
Samuel Schakerairtz reported that the organ
ization in the eighth assembly district had de-
cided to Boycott every shoemaker, grocer,
butcher and other tradesmen who did not join
the movement He considered that high rents
led to the use of smaller apartments, causing
immortality and disease. If nothing else were
done, he thought it possible, ut least to enforce
sanitary laws and compel landlords to furnish
erty in earth must go, and denounced the
s'gormandizing landlords, those dregs, those
clogs upon the wheels of progress, who tear
out the hearts of our wives and children, that
they may live in idleness and luxury on the
sweat of our brows"

The New York Public reaches the con-
clusion that heavy imports of gold are
probable in the near future, basing this on
the fact that the balance between exports
and imports of merchandise for the first
two months of the year is more favorable
to the United States by $50, 579, 1874 than
for the first two months of 1880. The Lon
don Economist of March u, says that ex-
ports of gold to this country are not antici-
pated in London, but admits that a country
which has taken $3.50, 900 in the past
two years may repeat its drain of gold mex

AN incident of the burning of the State
capital at st. Paul has found its way into a
Louisville paper. 1t is the story of lady,
who watched the flames at night from a
window, and says she observed that the
stars and stripes we're flying above the little
dome Would the flag be reached and
consumed? The dome was blazing and
the flames shot up towards the national en-
blem, creating tremendous draft, which
drew the flag straight upward, but it held
to its fastenings, and the fire got nearer and
nearer every instant. Just as the flames
had attained a height sufficient to take in
the struggling bunting it broke away, sailed
towards the heavens and disappeared.
The fire had not touched it. The banner
of the fathers was saved 1t is touching
relation and inspires patriotic thrill, but
truth must be indicated at the expense
of sentiment. The flag didn't break away
didn't sail towards the heavens but was
caught by the flames and shrivelled into
ashes, in much less time than it takes to
tell the pretty story of its disappearance.

EARTHQUAKE.
One OF the Most Disastrous Ever Recorded
Three Thousand Lives Lost.


Constantinople dispatch Of the 18th says:
A strong shock Of earthquake at Scio, in the is-
land of that name yesterday, destroyed many
houses and seriously damaged nearly all left
standing. Later cables say tina: many inhabit-
ants were killed, and the remainder encamped
in fields. Many neighboring villages were de-
stroyed During the panic which ensued the
Eastern Telegraph companys offices were pill
LACED. Shocks were also felt in the islands of
Syria and Smyrna, but no damage is reported
an Athens dispatch of the same date says:
Aeovernment dispatch has been received con-
corning the earthquake at Scio, which states
that the number of persons killed and injured
is estimated at 8, 900. The shock was also felt
at Carsota and Constantnople. There was fresh

Scio is an island belonging to Turkey, off the
west coast of Asia Minor. Its length is thirty
two miles, and its greatest breadth eigl teen
miles, while its area is 5O5 square miles. The
surface isv very much diversified. 1t is natural
ly one of the richest and most beautiful islands
of the Levant, but it was many years recovering
from the desolation to which it was reduced BY
the Turks during the Greek revolution.

The New Testament Revision

The Rev. DR.. Phillip Schaff, a member of the
American committee on the revision of the New
Testament, makes some interesting statements
in an interview with a correspondent in New
York. He says that there is scarcely verse in
that venerated volumes, but that has been
altered, yet at the end of five years
he expects to see the new version,
acceptedly by all but the most narrow minded
person Mr.. Schaff says ''we have worked
between two fires, the radical wanting far more
sweeping changes than we would sanction and
the other party rolling their eyes in horror
whenever a comma was transposed or small
letter replaced by capital" American pub
fishers advertise the revised work at as low as
fifteen cents each when issued
