In ISL the total cost OF existing fences

about five million miles Of fences. The in.

make the present amount six million miles.
The dearh of wood and stone in many oi

twenty-five years, The modern invention

Iron VS.. Wooden ships.
TO NE kditor OF ne Er1nina Crltlc,

~ He HuHU " btt EttHUU tfttCs
There was time when the great ship-build-
ing interests OF the country were most rapidly
developed in the Eastern States, but with the
advent OF iron ship building and steamships
that time has past. We cannot, as a CONNER
cial Nation, compete with foreign nations by
the use OF wooden sailing ships. But when
the commerce OF our country is revived, as
revived II viii be, ships constructed OF iron and
steel Will be most In demand. Then the great
State OF Pennsylvania will undoubtedly take
the lead; her inexhaustible wealth In iron
and coal, the means OF transport and the num-
bers Of her workmen In all the mechanical
branches 8, and the abundant population In the
mining districts, all Will tend TO bring this
great state 10 the front I'm the new ship-build-
Ing era about TO dawn upon this country. Then
the disinteresed devotion OF such men as John
Roach, Pusey, Jones Co., Harlan, Hollings-
worth and others OF the same stamp will be re-
warded; for now the Atlantic is alive with
ships, the great Paf life trade is getting to be
built up, and IL will be built In this country so
soon as the trade is established. Then II Will
be remembered what George M. Robeson did
TO keep alive these establishments which were
languishing aud dying. His acts, although
then condemned, were OF such nature as can
never be forgotten by the merchant ship-build-
els Of the United States. s. p

ATTORNEY. GENERAL BREWSTER has
appointed Dallas Sanders, an ex-Assistant
District Attorney of Philadelphia, a special
Assistant Attorney General, to aid in the
prosecution of the Star-route cases. Mr..
Sanders was sent on secret mission TO
South Carolina in connection with these
cases. His appointment and mission being
profound Government secret, of course it
has been given to the Associated Press so
that the whole people can help the Govern
ment officials preserve the secret. Mr..
Sanders is Democrat and one of Sam
Randall's lieutenants. The Attorney

THE Washington correspondent of the ST.
Louis GLo6e denies that there was any bad
faith in the publication of Mr.. Blaine's eulogy
six hours before its delivery, his excuse being
that he bought his copy, and was therefore
under no obligations respecting IL. This
merely shifts the responsibility from the cor
respondent to his employer. There was no
difficulty in his getting hold OF n copy as early
as Saturday evening. The Post could have
published the Grafton Sunday morning, but
what twould have been thought of IL If 1t had ?
This m6Tnings Post.
Very much the same as is thought of it
now for publishing the oration when il
did-an hour ahead of the orators arrival
at the scene of its delivery. The Post,
idea of the Nervousness of the offense o.
publishing Mr.. Blaines speech in advance
of its delivery seems to be governed alto
gether by the time which elapsed between
its publication and its delivery; its excus'
for its own delinquency being much lik,

furnished "a large array of facts and infor-
nation to show the necessity of National
aid to public school education in the South.
where are found nearly all the illiterate
masses of the Nation" If these gentlemen,
OF the committee, will examine the census
reports of 1870, they will find New Haven

children between the ages of ten and ff-

EVERYWHERE, "from Greenland's icy
mountains to India's coral strands" where
street cars are to be found, there is a con-
tinuous cry against "the bob tail car" 1t
does seem to the ordinary mind-that is, to
the mind of those who travel in street cars
and do not own them-that this plan Of
requiring the passengers to act as conductors,
and not only pay their own fares into a
box, but make change and pass fares for
other people, is, to say the least, an i'm
pertinence to the passenger.
Street cars are for the convenience of
the public and the profit of the
owners, and so far as the last
reason of their existence is concerned,
there is no doubt of its full realization in
all of the Washington lines. The stock of
the street.car companies pay good div
idends to its owners, and the corporations
should be made to accord proper convent
ences to the public. A bob tail car, when
the passenger has to stand up and pass his
own and other persons fare through two
or three hands to the box, is not proper
convenience.
The F-street line runs crowded cars from
" early morn to dewy eve" and could well
afford to make at least half its cars two
horse ones, with a conductor, and reduce
the price on the bob tails to three cents.
Then the passenger On the bob-tail will
be paid to act as conductor, if he chooses to
take one of them. The Columbia line
should either make all its cars two-horse or
double the number, so that it could accom-
modate the travel.
