AMERICAN SHIPPING.

In 1866 there were 3Sl ships and barks
built in the United States; in 1879 there
were 81 barks and ships built in this
country. II is reported that the grain
feet dispatched from the port of New
York in 1879 numbered 1887 vessels,
carrying lO2 3l2 $50 bushels of grain. All
this tonnage included but one American
steamer and only "a American sailing
vessels. E. F, Noyes, our Minister to
France, devoted six months TO the inves-
tigation of our commercial carrying trade
in the Mediterranean by order of the
State Department. He reported that he
experienced a sense of humiliation at
the absence of the American flag from
the waters on which he looked. The
Consul at Smyrna reports that while for.
merly as many as rs or so vessels had
been seen in that port at one time, last
year there were but three all told. We
are now paying foreign nations annu.
ally over 800 0OO 600 for the transporta.
ton of our freights, and $2O,OO00OO for
the carrying of our passengers and mails.
We pay, that is to foreigners, largely to
England, $l2OOOOOOO for carrying our
products across the seas and bringing
the things we wish to buy to our shores.
The American flag has disappeared from
the high seas, and our merchant marine
is no more.

IT looks as if some of the Nationa
Banks at the East propose war on the
Funding bill, because it was not framed
as the banking interest desired, but with
the view the Government should realize
all the profits of low rate of interest,
without sharing with the svndicatea.
There was deposited at the sub Treasury
in New York on Saturday, $21lO,O00 to
withdraw bonds to secure circulation. 1t
is surmised this is part of conspiracy
to induce Hayes to veto the Funding
bill. Among the banks in this scheme
is the First National, John Sherman's
celebrated "pet bank" which has made
it's millions in funding operations. 1t is
not thought the combination against the
Funding bill is general, but if the Ma
tional Banks make it so, they will pre-
pare the way for some very vigorous leg.
islation. The idea of substituting Treas.
ury notes for National Bank issues is
not dead by any means, but only sleep
ing. Aggressive and combined action
by the National Banks against the three
per cent Funding bill will waken it to
very lively action,

THE London Times in reviewing Gen.
Grants advocacy of the Nicaragua
route says: "It is not the first time an
American public man has lent his name
to doubtful commercial enterprise,
and so helped to start it. The Emma
Mine was introduced to the world under
the same kind of auspices as the Mica
raugua Canal is now. The Emma Mine
has failed somewhat signally to come up
to the promises of its proprietors, so that
if the Nicaragua canal were to do the
same thing, there would be at least good
precedent for it," 1t adds, by way of
commenting on the bunCombe now fash
ionable, and of which Grant, as the at
torney of the Nicaragua route, is glilty
as any one, that England and English
commerce have no special interest in ell
ther scheme for Central American ca.

SHERMAN, TEE SHARPER, IN
REAL ESTATE.

The deeds for the sale of the Stone es-
tate to syndicate, of which Secretary
John Sherman is a Trustee, has been re.
corded. The property belonged to Mrs.
W. T. Stone, the grandmother of Colonel
Albert of Kentucky, who came on here
to stop the transfer, alleging that the old
age of Mrs. Stone had been taken ad-
vantage of to induce her to sell at price
much below the real value of the prop.
erty. The parties to the deed are Eliza
beth l. Stone to John Sherman, Trustee
for the persons above named; and the
consideration is 100000 in fee, and a
trust deed is also given to secure Mrs.
Stone $l75000, balance of purchase
money. The land is finely situated, ly.
ing directly east of the Columbia Col
lege and grounds, and extending from
the boundary to the road leading to the
Soldiers Home road. The large house
of the former owner is about the center
of the tract, and the hills on the south
part of the land are covered with fine
old oaks and other native trees. For
many years it has been regarded with
longing eyes by many wealthy man,
and repeated efforts have been made to
buy it. Mrs Stone has been 10th to sell
it, however. The tract contains one hum
died and twenty-one acres. 1t wants to
be emphasized that the John Sherman
in this transaction is not real estate
agent, but the "indigent" John She.m

1t is notorious that in Germany the
opponents of Christianity are generally
the radicals and liberals of politics.
Sympathy in negative attitude toward
ecclesiastical institutions may have at
tracted the jews toward political liber-

marck's hatred Of them. The Chancel-
lor has lost in popularity every year
since the late war with France. His
power was seriously threatened. He
seemed to have learned his late enemy's
art of dynastiC war; as Louis Napoleon
aimed to check agitations against him
self at home by revivipg anti-Teutonic
fury, Bismarck bas diverted the tide of
socialism by reviving hatred of the
Jews. 1t was simply that Bismarck and
his party required division Of the pop

from the Jews, be has used them as a

own sERvICE REFORM.

In Senator Pendleton's report on civil
service last week, is this paragraph: ut
is conceded the party in power must fill
the higher official places with persons
who fairly represent its principles and
policy, aud subject to whose legal in
structions the whole subordinate admin
istrasion is to be carried on. The party
in the majority must be allowed to I'LL
all the elective Offices, and hence can
control legislation. But the subordi'
mates in the Executive Department,
whose duties are the same under every
administration, should be selected with
sole reference to their character and ca
pacity for doing public work. This
latter class includes all but few Of the
vast numbers of appointed officials who
carry into effect the orders of the Exec
utive and OF the heads of the depart
ments, whether at Washington or in
other parts of the Union"
The committee quote from the message
of President Hayes of Dec. 1879, in
which he sets forth the practical effect oi
system of competitive examinations in
augurated under Grant, and says: RE
ports from the Secretary of the Interior
Postmaster General, and from the post
masters and collectors of the several cit
les, show the competitive system has
contributed to improve the public ser

been salutary in a marked degree; thai
the general application of similar rules
could not fail to be a decided benefit to
the public service" The committee
quotes from the speech delivered in the
House by Gen. Garfield in 1870, and also
from an article written by him, publish

on civil service reform, and give bis

will make real reform in the civil ser.

HOW STANLEY MATTHEWS WAS
INDORSED BY OHIO DEMOCRAT FSa
Foolish Republican friends of Stanley
Mathews introduced in the Ohio Senate
last week, resolutions instructing Sena-
tors Thurman and Pendleton to vote for
his confirmation as Supreme Judge. The
resolutions were forced through by the
Republican majority, under the pre-
vious question-no debate being allowed.
Thereupon the Democratic Senators
signed protest and caused it to be en-
tered upon the journal of the Senate.
This is an extract from the document;
We protest as citizens, and Legislators
for our fellow citizens and constituents,
against the Endorsement by this Senate
of a man who played so conspicuous a
part in robbiDg the sovereign state of
Louisiana of her vote in the Electoral
College of 1877, by which act the fraud
was committed and man not legally
elected became President of the United
States. For his connection with this
greatest crime in the history of the
American Republic, committee of the
U, S. Senate denounced his conduct as
wrong and injurious to the public inter-
est. We solemnly protest. in behalf OF
the people of Ohio, against the indorse-
ment ofStanley Matthews by the Senate
as person worthy to wear the robes of
Justice in the highest tribunal in the
land. In the encroachments of corpora
tions upon the rights and interests of the
people, Stanley Matthews has ever been
the swift and we'll paid advocate of the
corporations; as a Senator of Ohio he
misrepresented his state in pleading the
cause of dishonest corporation upon
The floor of the Senate, and to elevate
him to a high tribunal where he would
be called upon to Construe the very laws
he sneered at as legislator, would be
mockng justice and jeopardizng the
rights and interests of the people ofthis
land. Stanley Mat hews denied the laws
of his country and insulted the repre-
seHtatives of the people, when he refus-
ed to answer the summons of Congress
sional committee and tell the truth.
Such man is neither a safe nor proper
person to sit in the highest ana holiest
temple American justice, unless the
vel of the temple is to be rent asuuder
and fraud is to invade the last refuge Of
the peoples rights.

"bosses." In Pennsylvania it is Cam.
