Mr.. Herbert Spencer, in his after
dinner speech at the New York
banquet, said that American faces
were suggestive of over.work and
an enormous amount of care, and
added that, beyond the serious
physical mischief caused by over
work, there is the further mischief
that it destroys what value there
would otherwise be in the leisure
part of life. In summing up he
said that we have had somewhat
too much of the gospel of work"
1t is time to preach the gospel OF
relaxation. In alluding to the facts
that we do not take enough care
of our bodies he said, we hear a
great deal about " the vile body"
and many are encouraged by the
phrase to transgress the laws OF
health. But Nature quietly sup
presses those who treat thus dis
respectfully one of her highest
products, and leaves the world to
be peopled by the descendants OF
those who are not so foolish.

Why lIr. Kelley opposes Internal
Taxation.


Washington, Nov. 1.-THE So
licitude of Mr.. Kelley, Chairman of
the Ways and Ieans Committee,
that the President shall incOrpo
rate in his message recommends
tions for-the abolition of internal
revenue taxation, for which pur-
pose he has been in conference
with the President, is easily ac-
counted for. He believes that the
greater the reduction of the inter
nal revenue the better chance
there will be for the tariff laws to
escape disturbance. This was the
ground he took last spring, and,
with a following of ultra protec.
tionists, he rebelled at the sham
Revenue bill and thus exercised
in some degree q restraining intiu-
ence upon such of his party rs
would otherwise have favored
roughshod methods of carrying
their point. 1t may not be amiss
now to let it be known that Mr..
Kelley gathered much of his mspi-
ration for persisting in this rebel
lion from Democratic sources; for
at noted dinner last winter, at
which the course of the two par
ties came under discussion, Mr..
Flower playfully suggested to Mr..
Kelley that the Republicans would
score big point by urging sweep.
ing internal revenue reform at that
session. This was before the sham
bill was perfected. 81 believe so
myself" Mr.. Kelley replied, "and
that is what told the blank fools
in caucus the other night" Con.
versation here became general on
the subject and Mr.. Kelley retired
from the dinner so much strength,
ened in his purpose that he held
off Robeson and the rest of the
gang from mischief in the Republi
can caucus all through the session
although III so doing he was unable
to bring his party to his way Of
thinking. Doubtless now they re
gret having ignored his counsel.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
than whom few public speakers
have shown themselves more
ready with apt illusions and sal
lies of wit, seldom brought down
the house with single sentence
more successfully than he did on
last Monday evening. Plymouth
church was crowded to the doors
with one of its characteristic au-
diences, and Miss Frances II. vii.
lard, of Chicago, delivered a lee
ture on the work of the Women's
Gospel Temperance Union, which
was received with great enthusi-
asm. As the prolonged applause
at the close of the lecture died
away, Mr.. Beecher ascended the
platform slowly, thoughtfully, and
stood for a moment regarding
almost staring at-the lecturer,
with an expression of mingled
wonder and admiration. Then,
turning to the audience, he remar.
ked. slowly and meditatively, en-
phasizing the words with mods OF

New Orleans, Nov. 25-The Con-
gressional Committee were salts
fed with the jettics from the in
spection yesterday. Capt. Hughes,
inspector of the jetties, testified
that the depth in the channel of
the jetties was maintained through
dredging. He did not know wheth-
er nature would, unassistcd, main
tain the channel there or not. The
experiment had not been tried. In
his opinion, shoals would form at
the head of the jetties without
dredging. The committee adjourn
ed to meet at Washington. The
evidence thus far has developed
very serious questions as to the
wisdom of many of the large ex-
penditures upon the river, and the
committee will not make any re-
port till very full testimony upon
all branches of the investigation is
taken.

atory of him prior to his nomina

fcndant asserted that to pay for
such matter would be dishonorable
and degrading of public morals.
Both testified in their own be-
half, Newman claiming that there
was an understanding between
himselfand the defendant whereby
the latter was to pay reasonable
sum in the event of his nomination
and Beckinridge asserted that he
was not to pay for matter other
than the announcement of his can
didacy and n few local notices. A
large number of editorial notices,
newspaper paragraphs and ex.
tracts were read which appeared
in the Commercial, and which
strongly advocated the nomination

Tariff and NageS.
IN. Y. World.I

President Potter, of the Mime
apOlis and Omaha Company, on
whose share in the pending "rail-
way war y IN the Northwest a cor
respondent of the World throws
some curious light to-day, has been
good enough to attribute the pos
sible sudden closing of many mills
and the throwing of twenty thOus-
and workmen out of employment
Ito three causes; to the decline
in prices, to diSproportioned wa
ges, and to the probability that the
tariff ON steel rails will be reduced
to Sl4 a ton from SIS as at pres.
ent." And this probability he de-
duces from his own impression
that Congress will base its reduc-
tion from Mr.. A. s. Hewitt's ad-
mission that the Harrisburg com
pany in which he is interested
made 20 per cent. on its capital
last year. In one of the absurd
sessions of President Arthur's alb
surd Tariff Commission it was said
that Mr.. Hewitt had confessed that
$14 a ton was quite as high a duty
as the steel rail industry needed
for its own good or ought to got
from Congress. Certainly every
body in the country not engaged
in the steel rail industry will agree
with Mr.. Hewitt, if the net profits
of the business last year were 79
per cent!
What is the value of "protec.
tionn to the skilled and unskilled
workmen in the steel and iron fac,
tories who, after the owners OF
these factories have pocketed a
profit of 70 per cent. in a single
year, see themselves threatened
with being thrown out of employ
ment to the number Of twenty
thousand on the threshold of the
winter by order of an executive
committee charged with managing

Of the chapter, and when he had
reached the last verse of the text
the sermon was half finished, for

Savior,n he said, after reading the
thirty.sixth verse, "was social.
John went ont of society as a
reformer; he held himself aloof;

human life is capable of, the mar

There is no profit in keeping a

Special to the Times Democrat.
Washington, Nov. 25.-As pre-
dieted in these dispatches last
night, the az has fallen and the
official heads of those who held inn
portant positions under the gov
ernment, and who were sympathi-
zers with the defendants in the
star route cases, have been Topped
of. They are Mr.. Henry, marshal
of the District of Columbia; POST
master Anger and Assistant Post
master Parker of this city: Mr..
Helm, the foreman of the Con-
gressi0nal Record, and ex- Senator
Spencer, a government director of
the Northern Pacific Railway.
Nothing since the failure Of the
star route jury to agree has caused
so much comment in this city as
the action of the President to-day
ordering the removal of these Off
cials. All along it has been sus-
pected that the administration was
only half-hearted in prosecuting
those charged with star route
crimes. The action of the Presi-
dent to-day, so the talk goes to
night, shows that he is deeply in
earnest in this star route business
and that he means it TO be under
stood that the government is
strong enough to successfully pun
ish, if guilty, all of those who are
charged with wrong doing, how
ever powerful and influential they
may be.
One of the star route counsel
said tonight that he wanted it dis
tinctly understood that the coun-
sci for the government have not
at any time had any fault to
find with the President. He has
been ready and willing said the
counsel, at all times to aid us
in any way that we suggested. He
did not want to act hastily or do
any one an injury, but when we
showed him that men occupying
important positions under the gov
ernment were obstructiug the
government in its efforts to prose
cute the star route defendants, he
did not hesitate about the proper
course to pursue.

River Information.

From Gen. Gilmore's Report.k ,
In the first report of the Missis-
sippi River Commission. dated
March 6, 1880, general plan for
the complete regulation of the
river was authorized, and six loca-
ions,denominated REACHES, y were
mentioned as desirable for the first
application of any moneys appro-
priated by Congress to carry out
the plans recommended, aud spe-
cihc estimates for each of the
reaches were submitted. The plan
embodied in the report was ex-
eeedlngly simple. Itaimed to con
troll the flow of water by creating
for it, within its present bed, a
narrower conduit, so arranged as
to width and curyatures that the
water would be constrained to flow
over the same path at all stages,
and by its greater velocity and
concentration of efforts, especially
during floods, recover at the bot.
tom the equivalent of the water.
way taken from the side. Beyond
the amount Of scour necessary to
restore the diminished waterway,
it was believed that the ultimate
result ofthe completed work would
be a general lowering of the river
bed, accompanied by q reduction
of elevations and diminution il
not a cessation of the widespread
disasters which now result from
every unusual rise. In the present
condition of the river its constant
and universal tendency is ia
change by lateral shifting the loca
ton of the bed.
The depletion of the river by the
escape of water through or over
the banks effects a tw0fold injury
Not only is the securing force due
to increased volume and velocity
lost, but the escape Of water in
any considerable amount is Ger
tainly accompanied by injurious
deposits. III the water could es
cape without inducing deposits
the loss of securing force would
be less seriously felt, and con
versely, if the securing force were
not diminished by the waste o.
water, deposits, if made, would
soon be removed.
The works required in the bee
of the river are described in the
last report of the Commission
They embraced two distinct class
es of works, differing widely il
character and purpose, viz: revet
ments for the protection Of cavine
banks and dikes or other struc
lures for the construction OF tn,
channelway.
