The Lawrence Ashore.

telegram was received last Tuesday
evening by s. Baker & Son from Capt
Cochran of the propeller Lawrence
stating that she was ashore at Harbor
Springs and wanting tug sent i'm
mediately. Both the Merrick and the
Bennett were absent, the latter working
on the barge Ely and the former out
looking for job. The Merrick returned
Wednesday morning and started about
eight O'clock to 90 TO the help of the
steamer, but advices since received is to
the effect that she did not arrive there
until ten O'clock Thursday forenoon.
Tuesday was very stormy day, and the
tug probably had to take refuge herself
under some island. From parties who
were on the Lawrence at the time she
run ashore we learn that 1t happened
during the dense fog that prevailed
Tuesday morning. She made the port
all right, and was coming out when
she brought up. They say she is out
forward so that there is only one foot of
water, while her stern Is in eighteen
feet. We understand the steamer Fax
ton pulled and tried to release her, but
could make no impression. The Mer-
rick went to work to try and dredge
her off by using her wheel to wash the
sand away from under her. Fortunately
where she went ashore is sandy bottom
and in protected spot, where seas will
not damage her,
The Lawrence arrived last night and
has suffered no injury from her mishap
save loss Of time and expense in getting
off. The Merrick dredged her out in
about half an hour. When the Lawrence
slid into the channel, she showed the
tug upon the bank, and then had to 70
to work and dredge the Merrick out, 1t
taking her about three hours to accom-
plish the job. In pulling on the tug the
steamer parted her line two or three
times and pulled out one Of her own
timber heads.

The tug j. w. Bennett returned
Wednesday from the barge Ely ashore at
Detour Point and Capt. Snow telegraphed
Capt. s. B. GrummCId for an additional
steam pump and received in reply a tele-
gram that the pumps would leave De-
troit on the propeller Northener, Thursday
morning. The captain thinks that with
this extra pump he can get her off and
to the dock without much trouble. She
has several holes in her hull, and leaks
badly, They took off about $50 tons of
coal in order to make room for the pumps
to work..

WATER POWER BONDS AGAIN.

In an article on Wednesday N reference
to the recent water power bonds decision,
there was an intimatiOn that the efforts to
effect settlement between the city and the
owners of the bonds in question were de
teated on account OF the imposshillty Of
the city authorities and the attorneys for
the bond owners TO agree on the'detalis OF
the terms OF settlement This we ale ad-
vised was an error. There was no disa-
greement or serious difficulty Of any SOFT
In that quarter. The negotiation was de-
feated by an injunction, granted by Judge
Stipp on the petition Of certain citizens Of
Ottawa, restraining the city authorities
from making the settlement. Again, the
proposed settlement did not involve the
iue of new bonds The proposal was
simply to compute the interest on the old
bonds for the whole time at six per cent.
and extend the time Of their payment.
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court covers but $4,000 of these bonds,
which were originally sold to Mr.. Eamcs,
and the decision against him is supposed
to be on the ground that he was not an Gin
nocent purchaser" in legal parlance, foI
in two other cases, where a stranger had
purchased some of these bonds and sued
on them, the Supreme Court of the |. 5
held them valid and the city has paid them
There are still some $50, 900 OF these bonds
not due until 1884, which are held BY
strangers" and 1t is to be hoped before
they fall due the city will make arrange
ments to take them up without induginG
IN any further expensive and none too ere
ditable litigation on the subject.

TARIFF w1sDox AND GLASS MAKING.

Among others who appeared before the
tariff commission at Louisville was Mr..
De Paw, the great New Albany Plate
Glass manufacturer One of the questions
put to him was:
How does the duty on soda ash affect
YOU? Answer; Ii affects US to the amount
of 100000 year The duty on 1t Is 90
per cent. We have attempted the manu-.
iacture of it ourselves, and it has also been
tried by others once or twice, but never
with any financial success in this country.
We have to get it from the same sources as
the English and French, and, of course,
they get it much more cheaply than we do,
they being much nearer the sulphur mines
The works Of De Paw turn out mil
ions worth Of glass a year, and ten pei
cent. of that whole amount, enough In
Itself to make the business reasonably
profitable, is paid as tariff tax on soda
ash. Why? Because certain persons il
this country have attempted to manufac
ture that article, but have never beor
able to do SO with any financial success
So the great plate glass works at New Al
Dany are crippled and hundreds of glas
blowers are prevented from getting employ
ment, because somebody wants TO rails
oranges at the north pole, or, in othe
words, to manufacture soda ash In coun
try lacking the necessary material.

COMMUNICATIONS.

Pay the City Debt Refore Further Inn
provements Are Made.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Would you permit me through your col
umns to thank that citizen, whoever he may
be, for his wise and timely letter which ap-
psared in your paper last Friday, headed ga
Plea for Economy in City Affairs For my
own part wish that printed copy of that
letter was handed to every voter in New Ha-
ven.
Without going into the science of political
economy and finance I would say that it is
all very natural for those gentlemen who
hold city bonds and those who want job
to put their heads together and get up new
schemes of improvement which we could get
along we'll enough without. Not that
am down on improvements. I
am in for them every time. But
1 want to have the money to pay for them
first, and until that time [ say let them go.
I would not so much as vote for new gas
lamp even, until the last dollar the city owes
is paid. But it is not SO with the bondhold-
er. 1t is his policy to keep the city under
bonds perpetually, while the people must
sweat to maintain steady flow of interest
into his pockets. The people ought to watch
and work and compel the city government to
pay off the last dollar the city owes. This
system of city debt is mode of oppressive
tyranny that every good citizen should ham
mer down, and let the first one who says a
word in opposition to this policy of paying
off the city debt be branded as the worst
enemy of the community

THE seREAD of THE TELEPHoN1

THE SPREAD OF THE TELEPHONE.
Some idea of the spread of that marvel
lous continuance, the telephone, can be
gained from statement published at Paris
by the Cona21agnie I1ote7'a0tio7a0le des Ieze-
phones. From this statement it appears that
there are telephone systems in eighty-nine
cities in the United States. The subscribers
are set down as numbering 37,1S7, but a
foot'note explains that this is probably but
one-third of the actual users. In Germany
ten cities use the telephone and there are
1892 subscribers. The operation is exclu-
sively by the State. In Austria $40 sub
scribers in three cities use the telephone. In
Belgium there 2,156 subscribers In six
cities. Copenhagen is the only city in Dem
mark which uses the telephone, and Cairo
and Alexandria are the only two in Egypt.
In Great Britain there are 1870 subscribers
in twenty one cities, and the system is almost
ready in twenty-five cities more. Twenty
pounds is the most usual charge in England.
but in Scotland there are several cities where
the cost is e15, and in Dublin and Belfast it
is G12. Eight French cities are listed, and
the total of subscribers is 3,640. In Paris
the subscription is 6OOf., and in the Prov
lnces 4O0f. In English India 213 subscribers
IN three cities use the telephone at cost va
rying from e10 to e25, according to condi-
lions not given. Twelve Italian cit
les furnish 1902 subscribers at .
charge between 100 lire and 200 lire,
or from 1926 to $40, but 100 lire is the most
frequent figure. In the City of Mexico there
are 300 subscribers. In Amsterdam and
Rotterdam there are 851, at cost to each of
12O forms In Russia there are 23S subsori-
bers in three Cities and the charge is $50
rubles, silver ruble being Is cents Four
other cities about to introduce systems.
In Stockholm there are 672 subscribers and
three other cities will soon have systems In
Switzerland there are 621 subscribers in
three cities. The charge is 12Of and the
operation is by the government. The usual
mode of operation is by concession, " or
charter, from the State, but in Sweden and
Holland authority is given by the cities.
This summary is not complete but 1t
shows that the telephone is widely appre
ciated. Its progress bids fair to be still more
rapid hereafter than it has BEEN Improve
ments will be made and the distance over
which it can be used will be increased Con-
sidering what has already been accomplished
it is not preposterous to imagine that the
time will come when telephone communica-
ton between New York and Calcutta or
Picking will be possible

to the question of civil service reform, and
want something done. The talk of Jay Hub
bellism had made deep impression on the
people and contributed in no small degree to
Democratic success. He says that he favors
Pendleton's bill, because if the Democrats
gain national power it will allow the Repub-
ican otficeholders now in to remain any way
for seven years. He does not favor action
by the Republicans on the tariff. Before the
coming session dies he would like to see re-
duction of the internal revenue tax,
but would let the Democrats handle
the tariff when they get the House,
and would be glad to have the
President call special session of the Forty
eighth Congress next March to give them an
opportunity to fight over the tariff. The ma
tional canvass in 1884 will be fought on the
tariff ISSUE If the Democrats will only
maintain the free trade doctrine the Republi-
cans can elect President. For that reason
he wants to see the Democrats fight over the
question as early as possible. He is willing
to take his chances of election to the United
States Senate with any Republican Legisla-
ture that can be selected
