American Restlessness.

DR.. Edward Eggleston's illustrated
paper in the March Century, in his SER
les on colonial history, describes Tho
Migrations of American Coonists. and
alludes as follows to an American trait:
From the beginning, the Americans
have been = migratory people. New
Englanders, as we have seen, planted
themselves in Westchester and on Long
Island, came by throngs into East Jer-
sev, and migrated to the more southern
colonies. So Nirginians helped to peo-
pie Maryland and North Carolina, mi
grated northward to New York, and
even before the Revolution, began to
look wistfully over the mountain bar
rier into the great interior valley. New
York Dutch migrated toSouth Carolina;
some of them settled also in Maine,
PENNSYLVANIA, and Maryland; while
Pennsylvanians, excited by fear of In
dian massacre during the French wars,
occupied much of the mountain and
''piedmont" regions of the colonies to
the southwark. 1t is said that of three
thousand five hundred militiamen of
Orange County in North Carolina, dur
ing the Revolution, every man was a
native of Pennsylvania. There was an
incessant movement to and fro of peo-
pie seeking TO better their condition.
Once the European had broken away
from his mooring OF centuries, the vast
ness Of the new continent piqued him.
and he became = rover. This instabili-
ty as to place remains yet in the Ameri-

1t is said that the old Constitution is to be
used as a receiving ship, but it is hoped that
plan similar to that which has been pursued
for years with the grand old frigate will be
followed Instead. Only one small pieco of
the original ship remains in the present Con-
stitution and that is a block of wood in the
forward deck, near the cabin stairs. She has
been rebuilt number of times, the last time
in 1876, when she was stationed at the League
Island navy yard, during the centennial in
Philadelphia. The Navy department is about
to build three new steel ships, and it would
be entirely practicable to put tho fragment of
the Constitution into one of them and
to give it the name Of the historic
ship of the American navy. Thirty Yeas
ago ii was proposed to break her up for
from every state in the union, and Oliver
Wendell Holmes wrote his ringing poem,
"Aye, Tear Her Tattorcd Ensign Down."
| The Navy department could not proceed in
the face Of such feeling, and she was rebuilt
The " Fighting Tcmeairc," II wooden ship
that won her name during the day5 of Nelson
and Collingwood, is now an armored ship, en-
tirely modern, and did splendid work in bonn
harding the forts at Alexandria, There Is
an immense power of sentiment in the nam
ing of ship, and if the time should ever
come that the American navy should have to
repeat its exploit in naval warfare, the COM
mand of ship with the record Of the Consti-
tuition would be the highest compliment to be
paid an officer, while every sailor on her would
remember that she had always been manned
by heroes. Tho history of the ship is a veri-
table romance, and after the war of 1872 the
American sailors regarded her with kind of
reverence, as n vessel destined to victory.
The naming of American ships has deterio-
rated amazingly since such appropriate and
inspiring names as the Constitution, the
Guerrlerc, the Wasp the Macedonian, the

What They Think OF IIin Mt Home.


President Arthur has made another excel
lent appointment in the selection of Hon.
James b. Edmondsa as one of the commissioners
of the District of Columbia We say tan
other" because, whatever his shortcomings,
the President has certainly shown wisdom
and regard for the good of the public service
by the selection of such men as Gray and
Blatchford for the supreme bench, and in some
other important appointments.
Time will show that tho choice of Mr. Ed
monds for commissioner was wise and fortu-
nate for the district and the country in every
respect. The new commissioner was fer many
years n leading member Of the bar of Iowa,
widely known and universally regarded as
possessing special ability and the highest
character. He is n man of letters, with a
mind cultivated and enriched by foreign
travel.
Having acquired handsome competence in
the practice of his profession in this state, the
condition of his health caused his removal to
Washington few years since. He has built
an elegant residence ut the capital, where is
dispensed the most generous and unstinted
hospitality, and he has become thoroughly
identified with the interests of the district A
life long and consistent democrat, hsappoint-
ment was made alone on the score of personal
merit and fitness. IL is we'll known that the
selection of Judge Edmonds was made en-
| tirey without solicitation on his part, and
what is of first Importance in a district COM
missioner he can be counted upon as the de.
termined foe of jobs and Iobbery in every
| form. 1t is real satisfaction to be able
| truthfully to speak thus of public servant
occupying position of great power aud pa
tronnge in terms Of unqualified praise.

first gallery or dress circle being divided into
boxes or stalls, as foreign opera houses are,
and being sold by the month or tho season.
This plan has been found profitable
because it insures good price being
paid for space that otherwise commands low
price. An opera house with fifty private
stalls would readily find fifty persons in
Washington who would pay for the exclusive
privilege of box. This would leave the par
quette and orchestra chairs to accommodate
the public at large. The boxes need not be
let at extravagant prices to pay handsomely.
This mode adds very much to the pleasures of
theater-going. The play becomes u meeting
place for acquantances, and between the acts
ceases to be the tresome wait known to people
who are restricted TO one chair in n packed
row. Whenever the mythical opera house
comes into existence this plan should be fol-
lowed.

American Prodncta IN Euron..

The vast capability of the American wheat
fields is assuming portentous interest in Eu-
rope, and the prospect of being undersold in
their own markets is creating great alarm
among tho wheat growers of India and Russia.
The perfect system of transportation in this
country, by which Minnesota wheat grower
can promise certain number of barrels of
flour in any foreign port by a specified day is
the prime source of the advantage that Amcri-
can has over European wheat. Here man
has thousands of bushels of wheat cut and
requisite number of freight cars TO receive Il.
1t is ground into flour and shipped to the sea-
board, where u steamer has space reserved
for 1t, and IL is taken aboard in few
hours. In ten days il is in the hands of
and perfectly salable. The Russian wheat
is stored for months in great depots whore II
has 10 take the chances of alternate ovorhcat-
ing and an atmosphere below zero II is sell
dom well shielded from the weather. 1t goes
through primitive and tedious method of
transportation TO the vessels, even after it has
reached Odessa, or some other shipping point.
When it reaches the market il is necessarily
damaged, and has cost an enormous per cent
age before anything is realized on It. In India,
to n degree, the same difficulties exist. The
idea of railroading load of flour, without the
loss of an hour, from the spot where il is grown
TO the place where IL is sold, has not yet been
realized outside of America. The Anglo
Indian government is doing what IL eau to
protect its own wheat growers by lowering the
freights from India to England, but that is rob-
bing Peter to give Paul leg. 1t is only
another phase Of the struggle to keep the
United States out of foreign markets, which
is absolutely futile. The German reichsrath
has done all it could against tho American
hog, and the French chambers have fought
,thc introduction of American pork for years.
But it is Il vain endeavor. Legislative enact
ments are but puny force in comparison
with the great laws of demand and supply
and in spite of governments American pro-
ducts will find their natural market in the
crowded Kingdoms of Europe.

IL Dynamite sympathyf

Mr.. O'Donovan Rosa in published inter
views not only admits but asserts that the at.
tempt to blow up the local board Offices in
London was made by one of the Irish socio-
ties of agitation. Mr. Pat Grove, of Peoria,
in behalf of tho dynamite branch of the Irish,
approves the act, If it was committed by them.
Mr.. Finerty, of Chicago, a nowly-elected
member Of congress- expresses an opinion that
the time has come for Irishmen to go in
for the destruction Of English cities by Irish
explosives. Mr.. Rosa has openly and often
boasted that the sliirmish division, of which
he is a member, blew up the Doterel and her
crew of four hundred innocent men. Mr..
Grove advises that the Irish fire
one hundred English cities with petroleum,
selecting some dark and windy night for the
work Mr.. Finerty refused to attend the st.
Patrick's banquet at the Palmer house in
Chicago last Saturday evening, because Mr..
Onahan, one of the guests, had in newspaper
interview denounced the idea that Irish lib
orty could be secured through dynamite; tlpt
view being TO Mr.. Fincrtys mind "cowardly
and disgraceful"
Ireland has need to be saved from her
friends. In the struggle she is making for
rights that should be common to all mankind,
she has the sympathy and active aid of the
American people But if it be true, as these
representative Irishmen insist, that in the
furtherance of her cause she has rcsortcd to
methods so fearful that barbarism itself
would shrink from them, the American
people cannot afford to be misun-
derstood as approving their course.
The probability is far greater that these per-
sons who for some time have been conspicu-
ously engaged in the business of demolishing
England by word of mouth at a safe distance,
are seizing upon an accidental opportunity
to exploit themselves and strike trino of
terror into the English heart. But oven
assuming this to be the case, there is still a
strong reason for protest. Mr. Rosa, Mr..
Grove, Mr.. Finerty, Mr. Robinson, and all tho
rest Of these dynamite gentry, arc COM
mitting a very grave ofIensc against tho
nation in which they have found shell
ter "a nation that not only feels
for the sorrows of ireland, but has done
what no other nation has done or could do

quarrel there, nor can we consent TO become a

those who have and whose quarrel would
claim to have taken the hidcous form of
Wholesale murder. If bIr. Rosa, Mr.. Grove,
Mr.. Fincrty, and their kind, wish to fight
England, they had best cross the water to do
it. They cannot be permitted to throw dyna-
mite from these shores. They outrage the
hospitality that has sheltered them here
