presented to Congress, which is
worthy of the careful consideration
of that body. The remonstrance re-
cites that drunkenness is the most
common cause of dismissal,
and argues that the res
toration of an officer dismissed
on such charges is obstructive to
his power for good; is to imperil hui
man life that is sufficiently exposed
to peril by battle, storm and ship
wreck, under the coolest manages
ment.
Men who have been guilty of con
duct prejudicial to discipline, and
who have brought this honorable
branch of the public service into
disgrace, and have suffered the pens
alties they so justly deserve, have
gone before Congress through some
political influence, or have APP
pealed to the synpathies and
compassion of. congressman in many
instances, and have been restored to
a rank they had justly forfeited.
This is all wrong. 1t is unjust to
meritorious officers in the Navy, and
it is unjust to the brave men who are
sworn to obey the orders of their SUI
perior officers. They have no dis
erection left them, but must yield
obedience to their commander, even
though they may know that he is
redered unfit to command by the in.
temperate use of alcoholic drinks.
We can conceive of no position in
the public service where greater
GOODNESS is demanded than in the
naval service, and we are glad to
know that so large a number of the
officers of the Navy are taking. so
active an interest in the sobriety of
those who are entrusted with com
manding positions, Congress has
been entirely too liberal with the
class of offenders mentioned
in this remonstrance. The
ts-martial, before which
they have been impartially tried and
Justly sentenced, are the proper tri,
bnnals to deal with such cases, and
unless there are perfectly obvious
reasons, why such sentences should
be modified Oh set aside, they should
never be disturbed.

THE MEMORY OF THE DEAD AS A
MASK TO HIDE CRIME.

A Democratic exchange says: Nine
times out of ten, when a man drags
out the name of some old hero and
puts it on as a mask, it is to hide his
own utter vacuity of mind OF un-
scrupulousness of purpose This
reminds us of the reckless manner
in which the repudiating Democracy
of Tennessee use the names of the
. illustrious Jefferson and the gal
liant jackson" to bolster up their dis
honest schemes. Ii history es-
tablishes any one fact clearer than an
other about these historical charac-
ters,it is that they were honest. Neither
of their names were ever identified
with movement on the part of the
States in which they resided, or on
the part of the national government
to-rob creditors of that to which
they were entitled. To drag up
their names from honored graves, to
be used in firing the public heart to
schemes OF wholesale robbery, is
not only wickedly, INSCRIPTIONS
Justification of history, but it is a
cowardly and malicious insult to their
memory, which every Democrat, and
especially every Tennessee Demos
Graf, should feel called upon to re-
sent.
A man who knows enough to en-
title him to be considered as leader
of public sentiment in any sense, OF
to any extent, however slight, cannot
use the name of Jefferson or jackson
to bolster up reputation in Tennes-
see, without proving that he uses
them as a mask to hide his "unscrup-
ulousness of purpose.
A man may sometimes advocate a
DdQ cause anu stlll retain III some
degree, the respect of the world, but
we cannot see how any Tennesseean
can have respect for one who assaults
the memory of the dead Jackson,
in his attempt to rob the creditors
OF the State. He not only robs the
living of that which an impartial
world will always say was their just
rights, but he maligns and ISLANDERS
the honored dead. Under the lead
of Democracy, Tennessee may repu
date her public debt and shroud
herself in perpetual shame and dis
grace, but if so, the dishonest ACT
can never be palliated or mitigated
under pretense that it was the re.
suit of the teachings of Jefferson and
Jackson.

MIA In matters of climate these Sec
tons have each their peculiar differ>
ences of temperature and rainfall.
There is wide difference in these
respects between the North Atlantic
and South Atlantic States, and be.
tween the Northern Central and the
Southern Central States, while the
Western have an arid climate, with
| little rain and great extremes of
heat
With respect to historical develop
ment, it will be observed that the
Atlantic States, containing the ''orig-
inal thirteen" mark the first stage of
our political history, the Central
States the second and the Western
States the last. AS regards indus
trial activities, the North Atlantic
States produce over so per cent, of
the whole of our manufactures, while
the two Southern sections produce
all our sugar, rice and cotton, and
about where the four sections ust
named adjoin is the centre of pro>
duction of our tobacco. The North
Atlantic and Northern Central States
contain So per cent. of our foreign
element. the South Atlantic and
Southern Central States 80 per cent,
of the colored element. These sec
tons, as here grouped, are further
distinguished by the fact that they
differ in their modes of local govern
ment, the two Northern, with slight
exceptions, having township governs
ment, and the two Southern being
without it. The Northern Central
State produce II per cent. of the
cereals of the country. 1t will be
seen that the proposed classification
designates in brief terms sections of
country having points of interest in
common, and answer better for prac-
teal purposes than the old one, which,
if utility is to prevail, must ultimates
ly become obsolete. It's use in the
weather reports, for example, would
be exceedingly convenient, and con-
vey more definite ideas than are COM
monty obtained from the present
Technology. Other advantages will
suggest themselves to the reader.

Bet ter Classification Of States Pro
posed.


Mr.. Henry Gannett, the geographer
of the tenth census, suggests a new
classification of States, which will
commend itself to persons engaged
in business pursuits as well as to
/ teachers. The terms ''New England"
Middle Southern" "Western,"
etc, with the gradual multiplication
of States, have ceased to possess
distinctive meanings, or make arti-
fetal divisions not in accord with
facts of climate, race distribution,
crops, and other matters of practical
import. MIR. Gannett proposes to
employ, for purposes of division,
two north and south lines, and one
running east and west. The Appala-
chan chain of mountains mark the
first north and south line, and the
Cordilleras the second. The States
along the eastern slope of the APPS
| palachian chain are to be called, as
at present, the Atlantic States, and
are to be divided by Mason and
Dixons line into North and South
Atlantic States. The States of the
whole Mississippi Valley are to be
termed Central States, and divided
| by the Ohio River and the southern
border of Missouri and Kansas into
Northern Central and Southern Cen
trail States. The Western States
will endurance all those traversed by
or west of the Rocky Mountains
These five classes, with the exception
of the last, are measurably alike in
extent and population. The North
Atlantic States are nine in number
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania; the South Atlantic,
likewise nine in number Delaware,
Maryland, District of Columbia, yir-
ginia, West Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia and Florida; the Northern
Central, eleven in number-Ohio,

NEW BOOK.

The Book of the Dead, by George
H, Boxer, Lippincott & Co, Phila,
delphsa, 1882, p. p, 214"
Mr.. Boxer is the poet of Philadel-
phia; as Bryant was the poet of
New York and Longfellow of Bose
ton. During the latter part of Gen
eral Grants administration, he
graced the diplomatic service as
minister, first to Turkey, afterwards
to Russia He is, OF was, not long
ago, president of the Union League
Club of Philadelphia, and with Mrs.
Boxer, enjoys high social position.
During the war his stirring
lines were widely read and
made him very popular. A copy of
his latest publication has just been
laid upon our table, and we have read
it through. 1t is poem in CIVIL
Parts, or Cantos, and six INTRODUCES
tory or preliminary stanzas There
is neither preface nor note, nor any
thing else, to indicate the subject,
except the title, "The Book of the
Dead, and the motto, "Tu Mihi

hang my painted pictures high,

If they say nothing to the eye,
Then have nothing more to tell.
The versifcation is smooth, the
rhymes are correct, and the volume
is neat. Coleridge, somewhere, says !:
Until | can understand ones ignor-
ance, [ will suspect myself ignorant
of his understanding" We go
further with Mr. Boxer; we give
him credit for understanding. He
is too strong man to deal out a
string of rhapsodies, mere platitudes,
the empty jingling of little bells,
even silver bells. And we wait in
hope for some interpreter, some
critic more sagacious than we, to
tell us what it all means.

results of his investigation prove that
there are mysteries ordinarily un-

How to Get Rich.
Galveston News.

There is not much wool produced
in Ohio. If there were more the
Texas wool growers might be more
practically benefited by an economic
process which would enable them to
have the market somewhat more to
themselves. 1t appears from the state
ment of representatives of the wool
growers of that portion OF the country
that they consider the duty ought to
be raised to Is cents pound in order
to help them III their arduous task OF
competing with Texas wool. Wheth-
er there be much or little involved III
the question of continued wool pro-
duction in Ohio, the principle of the
matter is the same. The Ohio wool
growers look at the case from local
standpoint. Their idea is the Ohio
wool idea-not the Texas wool idea.
If the tariff tax on wool be not in
creased, they may go ont of the wool
producing business. The Texas wool
grower will naturally say, let them 60
out of it; probably they can do some
thing else, and twill be all the better
for Texas wool growers to buy their
improved sheep of them whenever
they want to sell out. If, on the other
hand, the Ohio men are assisted to
get five cents pound more duty Oh
wool, they may even increase their
fiocks; and the manufacture OF wooden
goods, if the tariff be really effective
in raising the price OF wool. will then
have to pay or cents a pound
more for the nav material. Unless,
then, the tariff on foreign WOODEN
goods be raised at the same rate, the
American manufacturers viii have a
harder time Of 1t competing with for
eIgn manufacturers IN then line. But

The Great West.

At the opening of this century Buf.
falo, between Lakes Erie and Ontario,
was the West, and Cleveland and De,
troit were the Far West. The wild
creature that gave its name to the
former town might still be heard of
there, and it was a greater exploit to
visit Niagara than to explore the
Rocky Mountains is now. From that
time to this the West and Far West
have been steadily receding, until the
Pacific Ocean has put stop to their
retreat, and now they are coming
back upon us from California and Or.
egon. Let us call our empire on the
Pacific coast the New West, as Mr..
Bowles named it, and let us term that
wonderful basin of the Mississippi and
it's tributaries and the region Of the
unsalted seas" the Great West; for
such it is-indubitably West and I'M
speakably great-beyond even the i'm
agination of a great orator to picture
it's grand possibilities. Stretching
from the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Su.
periol, and from the Allegheny to the
Rocky Mountains, this enormous i'm.
pelial meadow is to be the home Of 50
many millions of a race so fast devel-
oping that fancy gives up the conun-
drum in despair when asked what it
will be like hundred years hence;
for it is to be observed that the march
of civilization changes even what one
called the natural features of this
realm. Vast tracts that were once
deemed malarious and almost unln-
habitable are now the abode of healthy
and comfortable millions; other vast
regions that were set down in the
maps and written about by the learned
as deserts, are now becoming the
most fertile portions of the earth;
while the planting of trees and aug
ging of canals in the prairie states
give them an aspect which the oldest
inhabitants can scarcely recognize
While they are complaining in the
eastern and middle states of the de-
struction of their woodlands, the West
is burning it's own coal, and allowing
it's millions of square miles to grow
up to trees of a hundred varieties; 50
that in fifty years the whole appear
ance of the country, from Chicago TO
Colorado, will be altered by the quiet
and unreasonable growth OF trees
Meantime, new mineral wealth will be
discovered--as they are now finding
new deposits of strontium about Lake
Erie and iron west of Lake Superor-
and thousand new manufacturing
interests will spring up where agrlcul-
t1re is now the only art of labor. New
instrumentaities of commerce Will DC
