We publish elsewhere this morning a
letter from Mr.. Robert P. Porter, very
disguised member of the Tariff Commits
sion. Mr.. Porter, it will be seen, gives
up in despair. He cannot see what can
possibly prevent the Commission from
becoming the laughing stock of the
country. Mr.. Porter has arrived at
very just conclusion, but he was long
time getting al it. The country was of
his opinion as soon as the appOintees of
the packed Commission became known.
No matter what report it may make it
viii carry no weight with the people, and
the next Congress viii, if the House is
Democratic, no doubt tackle the tariff
problem, commission or no commission.

Blaine is sore beset. He declares for
civil service reform, and favOrs tenure
of seven years, but he opposes life tenure
as calculated to beget a privileged class.
Blaine's zeal is new born, but it promises
to thrive amazingly if the situation in
Maine is rightly pictured.

In 1870 Senator Grimes, of Iowa, a
Wing and a Republican, wrote to Mr.
Jacob Rich:
1T is enough to make the devil laugh
with glee to see the farmers of Iowa
voting to support a high tariff, which
doubles the cost of railroad iron, spikes,
chairs, locomotives, tenders, cars, ETC.,
the effect of which is to double the cost
of transportation of all they produce and
all that they consume, and then hear
them growl about the high rates of pas
sage and freight. not for a moment re-
flecting that they by their votes impose
these high rates of freight on them
selves"
1t took long time to open the eyes of
the Iowa farmers, but they appear now
to be getting them opened more widely
daily to the beauties of a protective
tariff.

Commander Bartlett, OF the English
Coast Survey, has been investigating the
Gulf Stream, and last week at Montreal he
gave some Of the results of his work. He
made havoc among certain generally re-
ceived ideas concerning that famous cur
rent, which he says does not flow out Cd the
Gulf OF Mexico, nor over bottom chan
neled with ridges and valleys parallel with
the Appalachian system. He says that there
is a wide plateau extending along the coast
from the Bermuda Banks, over which the
Gulf Stream flows, sweeping it clean to its
hard coral bottom. Beyond this the
bottom slopes rapidly downward, and
is ooZy with be wash from the plateau.
The stream Is not a river OF warm
water flowing over cold and the Arctic cur
rent does not run inside his will be all
new to most people, and especially to those
whose ideas of the Gulf tream are indefi-
mite anyway. Perhaps fact which will in
terest these people most in connection with
this matter is the tribute Commander Bart
lett paid to Yankee ingenuity at the meeting
referred to above. DIR. Carpenter, having
expressed hts admiration for the work,
added that # pleased him to know that the
results were obtained with British instru-
ments To this Commander Bartlett re-
piled that Sir William Thompson did invent
an apparatus and kindly forwarded it TO the
Coast Survey, but It would not work.
Yankee ingenuity then invented an attach
lneut by which It was made so efficient that
soundings of 5000 fathOms can be made in
thirty minutes and without DETECTING more
than fathom from the perpendicular.

them to forget the woman who
