Escape OF Captain HOWgate.

H. W. Howgate who has been lying for
some months in Jail in Washington on &C.
count of his inability to procure the amount
of bail required by the court for his appear
ance to answer the charges made against him
in connection with his administration of the
financial affairs of the United States signal
service, escaped from his guard last week,
while visiting his family, and has not since
been seen. The escape appears to have been
fully arranged in advance This is the Sec
ond time he has been granted special favors
outside of the jail, the last being the per-
mission given him on New Years day to go
home and hold reception. The entire
force of police detectives are at work on the
case. Marshal Henry gave the order per-
hitting Howgate to leave the Jail. The in
diligence granted to great or wealthy GRIM
inals is one of the most scandalous practices
of the times 1t is simply trihing with JUS
tice, debauching public morals and bring
ing the laws into contempt. Nothing more
clearly justifes the flippant declaration of
persons condemned as communists that the
laws are enforced against the poor and those
without influential surroundings, while the
rich and powerful ride over them rough
shod. Of course there was official collision
somewhere. This same game has been often
played, notably in the case of Tweed, and

that II hos haan innnnantlu

DIR. Martin on Vaccination,

DR.. Henry A. Martin, the author of the
paper in the April North american Repiew
upon vaccination, has been a medical prac-
titioner for nearly forty years, and his ex-
perience as army surgeon and medical di-
rector and practitioner at Boston has GER
tainly given him an opportunity to speak
intelligently. Twelve years ago he intro
duced into this country what he calls "the
method of true animal vaccination" as dis
tinguished from vaccination with human
lied virus" In one year he vaccinated
eleven thousand persons and he sums up
his experience as follows: GAS a result of
all this exceptional opportunity to form a
deliberate and accurate opinion of vaccins-
ton, l wish to say, with as much solemn
earnestness as if it were my last earthly
utterance, that l have never known among
those whom have vaccinated single case
of small pox in any form or modification,
except certain limited number into whose
systems the germ of the disease had entered
before the time of vaccination, making it.
self evident within fourteen days after the
operation. l have never seen or suspected
in my own practice one such case as MIR.
Henry Bergh asserts to exist by millions.
l have never had patient die in any
way that could be, directly or indirectly,
ascribed to vaccination. l have never had
the slightest reason to suspect, in single
instance, that vaccination had in any way
impaired or deteriorated human vitality,
but have seen several cases in which besides
preventing small pox it was the means Of
carrying off certain trivial ailments, and of
very decidedly improving the general health
of the patient"

Time Wasted.

The debate on the tariff commission bill
still drags heavily along in the house. 1t is
mistaken and short-sighted policy that
persists in wasting on measure to defer
tariff revision the time which, rightly en-
ployed, would accomplish revision at once.
Congress must confront this question sooner
or later. Republicans cannot shift upon a
commission the responsibility which, as the
dominant party, they are under to lead in
an honest and effective revision. A COM
mission looks like fear, incapacity or unwil-
lingness to deal directly and decisively with
the question of revision. Nothing will be
settled by a commission. Congress must
pass upon its report. 1t is not probable that
the commission will be a unit in its conclu-
sions. Majority and minority reports to
congress will hardly simplify tariff matters,
or materially change any views or preju-
dices-political, theoretical or economical
which congressman already entertain. In
the short session which will close the pres
emit congress, appropriation bills will have
precedence and will leave little time for
general legislation, especially on a subject
of such magnitude as the tariff. By pursu-
ing what may have the appearance of dill
atory course or course which may, however
unjustly, expose it to the charge of playing
into the hands of monopolies, the republican
party can hardly fail to lose prestige, if in
deed it do not lose leadership, in reform
for which there is loud and pressing popu-
lar demand. An honest and determined eff
fort in the interest of immediate revision
would be both wise and Just.

The New Dominion.

The Virginia readjusters have burned
their ships and cut off all means of return to
the democratic camp. Through their organ,
the Richmond Wing, and through the leader
of the read juster movement, General Malone,
the announcement is made that their party
has ranged itself in the national republican
ranks and will henceforth assume the name
Of republican. The influence upon southern
politics Of this bold stand will be watched
with interest. The name republican has
been considered an insurmountable barrier
to the success of any party in the south.
Under the banner of independents, southern
voters who would have refused to enlist I'M
der the same banner had it borne the name
republican have arrayed themselves against
bourbonism. In Virginia, no doubt, some
readjusters will find their way back to the
democratic camp. Some republicans, too
who were jealous of the alliance of their
party with the readjusters and held aloof in
the late campaign will find the obstacles to
hearty cooperation removed and it is fair
to assume that Virginia will henceforth be
a republican state. Its classification with
the republicans is as wsrrantable as that of
Indiana or New York. 1t is also quite sure
that republicanism must make its way in the
south under its own distinctive name, and
that any advantage which it cannot gain
under its own banner is not decisive or per-
manent enough to pay for the winning.

Every one who knew him, knew that
Colonel George w. Hooker would do his
full duty as sergeant-at-arms of the national
house of representatives. In the act thus
commented on by the New York Herald
an element OF grim humor will be discovered
in the discharge of an official duty that was
both right and fearless "The sergeant-at-
arms of the house of representatives is a
hard-hearted wretch. A member of con.
gress died few days ago and committee
was appointed to do the proper thing in the

such circumstances member of congress
needs something to stay his heart and make
him equal TO the occasion but IL is reported
that the sergeant-atarms of the house de-

stronger than settler water. What sort of

The Lost Jeanette.

DR.. II. C. Ledyard, an American, now in ST.
IBERIA, has had an interview at Irkntsk with
Lieutenant Danenhower, who gave him in
teresting details of the loss of the Jeanette.
The doctor says Since the first fall they
were out, when they were caught by the ice
in trying to reach Herald Island, they had
never taken course, but the vessel was
held as if in the jaws of death. Squeezed
until every timber strained turned this way
and that, thrown floating and then caught
again, they were every hour in suspense,
never knowing when the ice would close in
upon them. A little more, and the deck
would have sunk beneath them. Through
out this strain they were well and tried to
be cheerful, working very hard for the en-
CINE, and the men were barely able to keep
the water out. They had to pump for
year and a half. On June IL, 1881, the
crisis came. The ship showed greater
straining than before, the deck quivered,
and inexplicable movements warned them
to hasten from the vessel. They prepared
their boats and made their camp beside the
Jeanette. She rose and turned In her era
die until the yards touched the ice. Then
the rigging gave way and her masts lay
PROSTATE. At four o'clock in the morning
the foe parted and all went down. A cry
of alarm called all to escape from the crew
ice in the ice. 1t opened just through the
captains tent. Then began the retreat.
For twenty-nine days they struggled south
ward, three hundred miles of broken ice be-
ing thus passed over. -Four miles day was
thought good fortune. After one series of
fourteen days they were twenty-seven miles
farther north than at first. While working
over the ice and dragging three boats, they
discovered Bennett island, to explore which
they spent three weeks of their precious
summertime and expended much of their
limited supply of food. To this detour
those who survived attribute much of their
suffering, and the death of their commander
Will niuotoou men. After three months of
this perilous and exhaustihg work they
came to blue water, and then, with fair
winds, took their course for the mouth of
Lena river. Chief Engineer Melville's boat
was stove against a block of ice, and the
captains boat lost her mast and sail. The
captain landed with all well, but abandoned
the boat, as the water was shallow, and could
not make the channel of the river"

CHEAP PosTAGE.-The house OF repre-
sentatives has indicated very plainly that it
will not follow the senate in that body's eff
forts to restore the odious franking privi-
lege. In speech on this subject, Mr.. Hill
of New Jersey spoke for cheaper postage
for all, instead Of free postage for few.
In the national platform of 1872 the repub-
lican party had pledged itself to repeal the
franking privilege, and as soon as practi-
cable to reduce the rates OF postage The
first promise it had kept, and the time had
now come to redeem the other. Statistics
show that the postal revenues of the last
six months of 1881 showed net surplus of
nearly half million dollars. There was
no excuse, therefore, for longer delay in re-
deeming the pledge made ten years ago
Mr.. Hill also recalled the fact that, when
the franking privilege was first granted
to congressman, they each received in salary
only $500 for short session and 81 500 for
long session, while the rate of postage was
from six to eight times as high as it Is now.
