ArrAOk OK TIE SIGNAL SERVICE

"Let we'll enough alone" is a maxim OF
indisputable value, and when the we'll
enough is we'll in an unusually high degree,
obedience 10 it becomes duty. Wesay this
in view of bill Senator Logan has intro
duced in Congress to remove the Signal Ser
vice from the War 10 the Interior Depart
hent. OF the value of this service, OF its
success, the regularity of the performance of
lis duties, and the high esteem it has won
with seafaring men, farmers, and the people
at large, it is quite unnecessary to speak.
The valuable qualities of the service have,
from the first, been attributed 10 its duties
being performed in accordance with the
method and completeness exacted by mill
tary discipline. Often has the public press
pointed out the quiet regularity with which
the signal service is performed, without any
political trouble, or efforts TO get somebody
out that somebody else may get in, as the
models from which other departments Of
government might learn much, and gain in
efficiency, peace and order by closely follow
ing. Yet this model of well executed duties

present employees, skilled by training and
experience. The object, of course, is
not the good of the service, but
opportunity to find place and pay
for political hangers-on and tools, to convert
the institution into wheel of that abomina-
ton OF American politics, "the machine"
For this unworthy end discipline is to be
broken up, and trustworthy and capable
men put out OF their places to make way for
political hacks. True, the compensation is
not large, but let in the ward hsrries, and
the district cormorants, and very soon bill
would follow the present one "to provide
proper compensation for the underpaid en-
ployes of the Signal Service" 1t is. clear
that the change proposed by Senator Logan
would bring down from its high pinnacle,
where it has gained fame in every civilized
country, one of our most useful and success
full institutions. The attempt OF Senator
Logan must be frustrated, the people will
not consent that the usefulness Of the Signal
Service shall be imperiled BY the introduc.

MERCANTILE FAILURES

NEW YORK, January 5.-Failures for the

NEWS AND VIEWS.

The persistency with which the history OF
the unfortunate quarrel between Capt. De
Long and Prof. Collins is being raked over
by the Jeanette Court of Inquiry is really
painful. No possible good can be subserved
thereby. Its only result can be to unneces-
sarily cloud the fair fame of heroic men
whose temper, likely enough, had become,
irritable from the terrible privations they
had to undergo, and hurt the feelings OF their
surviving comrades ard their relatives and
friends.
The confidence of men in human nature
is sometimes astounding. foreigner, who
could not speak a word of English, engaged
an entire stranger as an interpreter and went
10 the Bank OF England, drawing out $4,000
in securities. The bonds were put in bag
and given into the hand of the interpreter,
who at the first opportunity partially choked
the capitalist and ran eff with the bonds.
Yet the thief did not escape the police. He
went to Vienns, Berlin, Pesth, but was
caught in Hamburg, and now is sentenced
to several years penal servitude.
POPE LEO XIII is said to have declared
recently to NJ. de Giers, the Russian minister
of foreign affairs, that society was menaced
BY the enormous increase OF inhdellty, the
spread of agnostic literature and by the m
scrupulous attitude OF the chiefs OF The IeVo-
lutionary party, who had insinuated th=m-
selves into the favor of the people by max
| ing mendacious promises. To meet the ter
rible consequences Of this state OF affairs, the
Pope said, "there is but one means-the
counterbalancing influence of real religion
! and the union Of all persons who believe IL
the divinity Of Christ"
| ONE OF the features of English rule IN
Ireland ia thus described by the Piet:

The New York Star thinks that Joseph
Caldwell, a Boston alderman, deserves
special recognition for his Difference to the
popular will. Mr.. Edwin F. Leighton was
the Democratic candidate for the Office, but
a number of voters misspelled his name,
and Caldwell was legally chosen. And
Caldwell, who is member Of the present
board, made a motion at the last meeting
that all the votes evidently intended for his
opponent should be counted for him. This
course would give the seat to Leighton, and
was equivalent TO resignation in favor OF
his Democratic opponent. Such an act shows
that there is some honor in politics, even in
Boston.

The New York Tribune thinks II ia time
for the Republican party TO present its prin
cples to the Southern voter as it does 10 the
voter in the North in every campaign. By
making a thorough canvass OF Maryland,
Virginia, kentucky, Tennessee and the States
further south it can lay foundation broad
and deep for future political victories. En-
tangling alliances with questionable move
nnenis may give = temporary triumph. But
an earnest and sincere appeal TO the inteiii-
gent common sense of the Southern people is
the only road that can lead TO permanent
success. And it is none too early to begin
preparation for such q campaign, if any re-
suit is to be seen in the next presidential
struggle.

any penal institution in the United States
will make as gratifying an exhibit as that Of
the Maryland penitentiary. Notwithsland
ing the fact that the cost Of nearly every ar
ticle necessary for the maintenance of the
inmates was greater than during the previous
year, yet the receipts not only supported the
institution, but there ia balance in the

The San, in discussing the Connecticut
election law, says that in the absence Of a
aclearly expressed intention" Of the law, III at
the "black ballets" should be void, Judge
Park went too far in deciding that they could
not be counted. If our learned contemporary
will look at the Connecticut Election Laws
OF 1877 (chapter I43, section 3l), it will find
the following provision: GAIL ballots shall
be on plain white paper, with the name and
Office written or printed thereon, and no other
ballots shall be received" Nothing can be
clearer than the intention of this. They
should have been refused at the polls, but
they were not.

THE APPEAL FOR 1888.

The APPEAL has just entered upon the
Brty.ihird year Of its existence. During Il e
rear 1888 it will maintain all its honorable
traditions by the adoption OF every improve
ment which progress can invent or suggest.
Il will be the constant aim of the manage
ment TO make it complete newspaper and
the reliable exponent of a liberal public
opinion. With this object in view, it will
print all the news OF the day, promptly and
as fully as its large and increasing facilitif 8
will permit. While keeping our readers
intelligent upon all the political questions
OF the time, we shall continue 10 devote a
large share Of our space to agricultural,
educational, religious, scientific, literary, in
dustrial and commercial matters. Political
parties are likely to be recognized upon new
issues as national politics are assuming new
phases. This will give additional interest to
all well-conducted newspapers until the next
Presidential election. Every good citizen
should keep himself abreast of the current
politics Of the day; for that reason the price
OF the APPEAL is placed within the reach Of
even the poorest. The history of the AP-
PEAL for the past forty-two years has been
the history of Southern thought, Southern
politics, Southern industry, and its future
will be the same.
