the mischievous taxation of $4,000, 900 a
month, to buy silver for the mint that is not
wanted, is also selected for the operation Of
the same vigilance. a committee OF the
House IN Congress in very able report con-
ours in the recommendation Of the secretary
Of the treasury that a change he made, and
that the coinage Of silver dollars and the
issuance Of silver certificates be discontinued
until the demand Of the public, for Pur-
poses of circulation, REQUIRES resumption
Of the coinage. The immense mass OF
these dollars lying uncslled for, and the
failure OF the postponed monetary conference
in Paris to meet, have demonstrated the
necessiiy OF suspendiDg further coinage'oi
dollars for the present. The monthly pHr-
chases OF silver prove to he imPoiitic and

sysiem in Europe, because those those pur-

silver, End aided by that rtlitf Europe is
able to refuse to restore silver 10 a standard
place in the circulating medium of com

ated as a sort of protective du'y upon
American produced silver, and the protected
monopolists are terribly excited because the
Senate has passed the repeal Of permanent
appropriations bill. If this bill become Law,
Congress will have to vote the money for the
purchase OF silver for coinage into dollars
annually, and the III eessity for the appro-

THE EXPIRING BANKS.

Is the national bank system to disappear?
This is rather startling question, but the
present attitude Of Congress toward those in
situations necessarily brings itup. Without,
at present, either advocating or opposing the
system on which those banks are founded,
we cannot but feel surprised at the apathy
shown by the financial and commercial in
terests in the approaching extinguishment
of little short OF 400 OF the existing national
banks. There are persons, especially among
the mere trading politicians, the stock
jobbers and the money-brokers, who are OPP
posed 10 the national bank system, and there
are honest theorists who Join in that opposi-
ton. On the other hand, a great portion Of
the business classes are warm admirers Of
the system, and consider that it has supplied
"the best money the world ever saw" 1t
will be a singular sight TO witness
if these admirers should stand by in
different, and see their favorite system
melt awsy while they make no
sign. AS an intimation OF what appears TO
be coming,we copy the following from Thurs
days New York Herald: "Among the laws en-
acted by the Legislature OF Rhode Island,
which adjourned sine die yesterday. was an
act authorizing national banks that were for
merly State banks to resume their old char
tiers without changing the amount OF their
capital. This legislation is intended to meet
any difficulty which may arise in the event
of the failure by Congress to pass the bill
providing for the rechartering OF the ma
tional banks. 1t is very certain that in the
contingency referred to similar policy
would prevail all over the country. The
State bank system would be re-estabiished
With its wretched deprecated currency"

LIFE-SAvING SERVICE.
Very Important and Interesting Stats
fIcs-A Noble PhiIanfhr0pie work.

WAsHIsGToN, April 29.-Tbe annual re-
port OF the operations OF the United States
life-savipg service for the year ending June
30, 1881, is in print and contains a large
amount OF valuable and interesting informa-
ton on the subject, with which the name
of Representative S. S. Cox will be ever
associated. 1t appears from the report that
the life-saving establishment embraced, at
the close of the last fiscal year, 1S3 stations,
OF which thirty-four were in the Maryland
district; namely, eleven on the coast from
Cape Henlopen 10 Cape Hatteras and twenty
three on the coast from Cape Henry TO Cape
Hatteras. Two hundred and fifty disasters TO
vessels within the scope Of the operations &C.
CURED during the year. On board these vessels
there were 1873 persons, Of whom 1854 were
saved and twenty-four lost. Succor was af-
forded at the stations to 4O7 shipwrecked
persons, to whom 1860 days relief in the
aggregate was furnished. The estim aied
value of the vessels involved in these disas-
ters was g, IA, 247, and that of their cargoes
$I,310,515, making the total value of the
property Imperfect S4,054,752. of this
amount g, S2S, $50 was saved and 81 ,226, 072
lost. The number of disasters involving
the total loss of vessels was sixty-six. In
1873 instances vessels were got off when
stranded, piloted out of dangerous places, re-
paired when damaged, or assisted in similar
ways by the station crews. In many of these
instances, il is stated, both vessels and crews
would have been lost without this aid. The
appropriations for life-saving service during
the war amounted 10 $472 $50; the expendi-
ture during the same time was S380,072 ~,
exclusive of contingent expenses, reducing
the balance considerably. The work of the
service speaks for itself as an errand OF
mercy, an ensample of self-sacrifce, scorn
OF mere worldly gain, and an indomitable
perseverance, in the face on the elements Of
danger and distress, and even death, that
must ever give it first place in the regards
of the nation.

AN AFRICAN COUNCIL
The Bishops of the Two Branches of the

History OF the Negotiatiens-No
Definite Action Yet Taken.

BALTIMORE, April 2S.-In the month OF
June last year the bishops OF the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, of y Ion % ere
are nine IN the United States, held rs. -
ing at Newport, r. l., and one OF the sub
lscts which came up for consideration wss
the project of uniting the two wings OF COL
ored Methodism. This was suggested by the
necessity for a uniform action, which, it is
conceded, can only bring about an advance
ment In education and religion of the col
ored people. The council of the African
Methodist Episcopal bishops saw in this
union OF the African Methodist and Colored
Methodist Episcopal Churches the consum-
nation OF desirable end, and recognizing
the fact that union was strength decided that
such combination was advisable. They
authorized Bishop Henry NJ. Turner,
OF Atlanta, Ga, to visit tAe bishops
of the Colored Methodist Episcopal
Church and lay before them their
decision. Bishop Turner did so; but ii can
not be said that the project met with unani-
nous favor among the bishops of the Colored
Methodist Episcopal Church. They acknowl-
edged that crisis in The condition of the
colored people was imminent, and that the
differences between the two wings were not
radical as TO faith and belief, but they were
chary OF efieciing union, which might be
dIstastetul to the congregations over which
they presided. While being the heads of
the Colorsd Methodist Episcopal Church,
and as such possessed Of some authority

the members OF the churches. In order
therefore, TO afford an occasion for any

To the Editors OF the Appeal:
The nom de plume of Mother Goose, (which
your corr espoudent SO modestly assumes, is
certainly inconsistent with the many wise and
good counsels which she has expounded. Her
remarks certainly deserve the careful atten-
ton and thoughtful consideration OF all your
readers. Her lecture on the mental pabulum
Of children is full of wisdom and thought,
and bstrsys careful study of nature and ma
lures words. We hope, however, that our
older friends viii not take these suggestions
to heart, considering themselves children OF

ment as its prototype. 1t ls singular why
such things receive the patronage and sup
port of an educated public. Your noble and
urgent appeals to all classes TO sustain and
assist the committee of subscription seem TO
have fallen on stony ground. Appeals to
pride, reason and pocket, have met
with but little response, and as the

the shoulders of our elder friends, our

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION sXs-


There has for some time been 4 hull in the
agitation Of measures in opposition to rail-
wav determinations and extortions. The
fact ia that for months the roads, or some Of
the principal ones, were venting their fero-
cious instincts upon each other, cutting rates,
and in other ways seeking to destroy each
other. While the animals were thus fight
-, 's.aia usual victims had an interval Of
relief, and therefore the ouicry against the
roads has been less violent. The people
have not been altogether unmindful, how
ever, of the time the dogs that delight TO
bark and bite" shall turn once more upon
their accustomed prey. The States that have
railroad commissioners are so well satisfied
with the results of their services that, in
some cases, they are strengthening the
powers of those officials. The Georgia sys-
tenn appears, on the whole, to be most sue
cessful, aud Massachusetts, has found 1t de-
sirable to append some OF the more vigorous
powers existing in that State to its own sys-
tenn. As the law passed in March now
stands, no railroad in Massachusetts, is per-

IONORs TO THE HEROIC DEAD.

uONORs TO THE HEROIC DEAD.
Elmwood Cemetery will to-day be made
fragrant with the perfume OF the flowers
scattered over the graves of the brave men
who placed their living bodies and theIr
beating hearts az a bulwark between the
people Of the South and the invading Toe.
The men whose graves are to be decorated
to-day and Lonored by other memorial ser
vices braved the storm OF battle, ard
hungry, ragged and footsore, marched %
battle and to death. Nothing ia left OF the
cause Tor which they suffered and died.
Their surviving comrades did not return
from the war with the gsrlands OF victory
amidst the acclamations Of popular APP
plause. But they were greeted with the
love and affection of grateful people, and all
will unite to-day in doing honor to the noble
dead. The Confederate dead do not sleep in
national cemeteries. Their graves are not
kept green at the public expense, but by
something still more to be prized-the vo-
tive offerings OF love and tears. Fail
nre, in the estimation OF the world,
is crime. Rebellion, if successful.
is dignifed into a revolution; the
revolutionist, if he fails, is traitor.
Success is mistaken for righteousness; there
is no such virtue as success, and no such sin
as failure, in the popular judgment. But
this is not the correct standard by which to
Judge merit. The brave men who fell at
Thermopyle deserve : and have received
as much praise as the legions that tr ampled
them down, and the Confederate soldiers
who were overwhelmed by superior numbers
deserve as much praise as thevast battalions
that conquered them. The true test of merit
should be the spirit in which the deed is
wrought and the fsithfulness 10 which the
purpose in view is adhered. That merit is
only imaginary and unreal which fails in
its measure to take into account the oppor-
tunity as we'll as the action. The difference
between Grant and Lee is the difference in
advantages and fsci lities, not in merit. The
public is apt to give undue glory to success.
A child touched off the battery which ex-
pIoded Hell Gate at New York, and the
most Insignificant instrumentalities often &C
complish great results. Intelligence, con-
science, labor, honest patriotism, truth, right
and fidelity count for nothing against the
man who touches the spark. The thousands
who did the labor are forgotten. The SOL
diers who fell are buried in the bloody ditch,
while those who gave the order to charge live
In song and story. The true hero is he who

were the heroes whose graves will be strewn
