The Society of Friends in England has
Just repealed the prohibition of the mar
riage of first cousins, which has been in
force in that body fOrnearly 200 years.
There is infinitely more reason in this
prohibition than in that concerning mar
riage with deceased wife's sister.

The New York Times remarks: ''The
city of Savannah has set a shining eX-
ample for Southern municipalities in deal
ing with her heavy debt. She has re-
sisted every suggestion of reputation or
scaling of her bonds, but with the general
consent Of creditors has refunded them at
a lower rate of interest, and imposed a
special tax of 5 per cent. on real estate to
meet present demands and provide for a
sinking fund. Her credit consequently
stands deserVedly high, and there is en-
enlargement for capital and enterprise to
aid in increasing her future resources.
Her conduct is in striking contrast with
that Of Memphis, which was a larger and
Weather city with debt no greater, and
which was willing to surrender its cor
porate existence and accept disgrace to
get rid of paying its honest dues" We
appreciate our contemporaries discern
ment but submit that Savannah is an
example not to southern" municipali-
ties, but to municipalities in general, and
to that of Elizabeth, n. j., in particular.

sit is claimed that the trade dollar is in
no respect a national coin except that it
was coined 10y the United States and its
ineness certified to in order to make it
useful in Eastern trade. This statement
will hardly relieve the government from
accepting and redeeming it as soon as it
can be done legally. But its history
ought to be a lesson against the issue in
future of any coins which cannot be ac-
cepted as a legal tender at home. 1t is
absurd that a coin should be expected to
bear a certain value abroad and have only
a bullion value at home. This particular
dollar was, doubtless. issued to serve the
purposes of silver producers snd Eastern
traders, and the result is sufficient to de-
monstrate the folly of any government
lending its influence or Endorsement in
aid of individual interests without prOvid-
ing against the possibility of harm to the
masses. - Philadelphia Press. Pig Iron
Kelley is in Europe, else the concluding
foregoing sentence would not have been
penned.

The Morgan Mystery.

Tho anti-Nasonic agitation which reach-
cd its climax in 1881, and was lost slgnt
of in the struggle which grew out oil
President Jackson's veto OF the OniVed
States Bank charter in 1882, and the re-
moval of the deposits in 1888, II seems mas
only been dormant. Every few years
some new crank comes to the front with
Ouixotic chivalry to bring himself into
notorietv by attacking the ancient and
honorable Masonic order. The death OF
Thurlow Weed. who devoted his life TO
the anti-MasOn and anti-slavery agita-
tons. seems to have suggested to few
visionary and obscure men the idea OF
renewal of the various stories, with Varia-
tions to give them the spice of freshness,
about the alleged kidnapping of William
Morgan in 1896.
This latest candidate for fame in this
field is one Rev. Mr.. Stoddard, who lee
tured last week in the small village OF
Newfane. near LockpOrt, \. Y. The lee
turer exhibited a solid block of stone nine
inches square at the base and twelve
inches high, with an iron ring fixed by
means Of a staple to the top, which he de-
clared to be the veritable sinker with
which Morgan was drowned near the
mouth Of Niagara river. In the stone,
near the staple, was cut the number 30.
1t is alleged that this stone was found in
the channel where the average depth is
90 feet, by Peter Tower, of Niagara cOun-
ty, rho was engaged in dragging the river
for Morgan's body a short time after
his disappearance. The body of Nor
gan was never found, indeed
it has been asserted that
he died in Australia a few years ago, but
Mr.. Stoddard is sure the stone must have
been attached to it, but how it became
separated from the body in the short time
| that elapsed before its discovery is not
explained. The speaker said that the
| stone has been kept in the family of Tower
ever since its discovery, and no one else
knew the secret until recently, when
Towers widow, now in her S4th year, was
persuaded to allow it to be exhibited by
the lecturer and his coadjutors as con-
vincing proof of Morgan's fate, and they
proposed to deposit it soon in the ''sacred
archives of the Anti-Masonic temple in
chicago.
1t is not explained why so much pains
should have been taken to prepare the
stone amid all the secrecy and haste o.
Morgan's supposed taking off, or why
| such valuable link in the chain OF evi
dence was not brought to light in the trials
of the persons accused of completely il
his abduction and the subsequent politi
cal campaigns, especially as the finder
was one Of the most earnest anti-Mason:
of those exciting days. In view of these
facts, and of the history of this notable
case, the story OF this stone can but be re
garded as far-fetched and the attempt t
connect it with the Morgan mystery al
| imposition on the public.

Locan and lis Candidacy.

Before the meeting Of the National Re
publican Committee Arthur seemed to be
the favorite of his party as Presidential
candidate, but since that meeting Senator
Logan's prospects appear to have greatly
improved. It's certain that he and his
friends had everything pretty much their
own way IN the committee, and since
then his admirers have been pushing him
TO the front with a great show OF en-
thusiasm and energy. They look upon
Grant. Blaine and COnkling as out Of the
wav. In fact, they assert that all Of
them have declared that they were not
candidates, and would not be, and that
Logan was agreeable to them. If these
three leaders are united in favor Of
Logan. he has something in his favor, but
their position to-day may not be
their position a few months from now.
Logan's friends also point with pride
10 his little bill introduced in the Senate
in March. 1882, which provides for distrib-
uting the whisky tax among the States
and Territories for educational purposes.
This they declare is a much better solu-
ton of the surplus revenue problem than
that offered by either WhartOni Barker or
Mr.. Blaine. 1t also has the advantage of
having been suggested before the plans of
Barker and Blaine. LOgan's friends claim
that this bill of his shows genuine states
manship. 1t accOmplishes three objects
first. it provides for getting rid of S6,OOO,-
600 annually. Just about the amount Of
the surplus; second, it preserves the war
tariff intact, and thus wins the favor Of
the great protection mOnOpOlists; and
third. it accomplIshes great moral work,
because it provides for the education of
the masses. This is certainly a nice show
ing for Gen. Logan, and helps to make his
candidacy look promising. The temper
ance people, however, may object to haV-
ing their children educated from the pro-
ceeds Of the whisky traffic, and the great
mass Of voters may not agree to a plan
that taxes them in order that few may
accumulate enormous fortunes. Gen.
Logan has started out well, but he has
started so early that he may not hold out
long enough to reach the prize. Arthur,
who controls all the machinery in the
Southern States, has an immense advan-
tage. which the swarthy Senator may find
impossible to overcome. He will be eX-
tremely fortunate if he does not find his
place among disappointed statesmen. 1t
was the unexpected which happened at
Chicago the last time the convention met
there. and it would not be surprising if
the unexpected happened again.

nescrtions from the Army.

Gen. o. o. Howard declares that his
recommendation relative to branding de-
serters from the army has been misunder-
stood. His idea, he says, is not that
deserters shall be branded with a red-hot
iron, but that they shall be marked with
indeIible ink in the same way that bounty
jumpers were marked during the war. 1t
NAV be that Gen. Howard was misunder-
stood. but it is more than probable that
finding that his brutal recommendation
was meeting with merited condemnation
he deemed il necessary to make a soften
ing explanation. The average army
officer has little OF no respect for the COM
mon soldier.
If the stories which are constantly find
Ing their way into the newspapers are to
be credited the officers of the army treat
the privates little better than dogs, and
make their lives so miserable that
death is sometimes preferable to
remaining in the army. In SUM-
days New York Sun a letter from
Fort McHenry was published, in which
some Of the reasons why enlisted men de-
sert from the army are given. In this
letter it is asserted that the men are
robbed. starved, treated with brutality
and made to perform all sorts Of mental
services. If this assertion is true, there
is certainly need Of a reform in the army.
What is the Secretary Of War doing that
he permits such abuses! What
is the use Of talking about remedy
for desertions without finding out the
cause Of them. If the cause is removed
there will probably be no need of a RENE
DIV. A great many of the enlisted men are
the peers of the officers. Misfortunes of
one kind or another have driven them into
the ranks Of the army. These men will
not submit TO being made slOp carriers and
bootblacks. 1t was never intended they
should render that sort of mental service.
Some Of the officers, however, compel
them to do all kinds Of degrading work,
and If they murmur or complain they are
punished. Would it not be well for Con-
gress to look into this matter? The Sec
rotary of War, in his annual report, has
called attention to it, and it might be well
for Congress to see if there isn't an oppor-
tunity for the exercise Of its authority to
protect enlisted men. Desertions can
never be prevented as long as the cause
Of them exists.

Disagreement in the Protection
Camn

The American PrOtecti0Hist in its last
issue attacks the Secretary Of the Treas
urv for recommending in his annual re-
mort a further reduction Of customs duties
in order to lessen the surplus of revenue
Il saws that latter the experience OF the
past season any invoice clerk or sharp
messenger boy could tell the secretary
that To reduce rates Of duty Is not 10 re-
duce revenues from Imports In us
anxiety 10 defend the protection polcy me
py,tsrril,.fst ignores facts and relies upon
assertions. The very little reduction IN
the tariff on a few articles that was made
last Congress makes a percepuble diner
ence in the revenues, as the Secretary 5
raD0rt shows. There IS a large number OF
articles the importation Of which Is
not materially affected by the tarin'
There would be just so much Of each
imported. whether the tariff was high or
low. With respect 10 a very large num-
her Of other articles which come in COM
petition with our manufactured products
a reduction Of the tariff would not result
in increased importation. 1t would
simply result in lower prices to con-
sumers. Home manufactures would con-
tinue 10 supply the home demand to the
extent they do now, but they might not
be able 70 make fortunes every year.
The leading manufacturers in this state
not long ago declared that they did not
want any protection. If The PrOtectionist
had studied the situation a little more
carefully it would not have attacked the
Secretary 50 rashly. That journal will
hardly admit that Mr.. Blair, the New
Hampshire Senator, is an enemy Of the
protection policy, and yet he has intro
duced a bill "tO reduce revenue" by
Granting a drawback of duty on al
articles wholly or partially manufactured
/ Of imported materials when these articles
are exported. 1t must be admitted
I the bill is a sort Of crazy scheme, because
/ It proposes something that cannot verl
| we'll be accomplished, and because it con
I templates selling to foreigners cheape
/ than TO home consumers. 1t shows, how
! ever. to what straights the PrOtectiOnist
/ are l,ut TO maintain their doctrine. Tn
manufacturers want their products pro
/ tected. but they want the raw materia
admitted free. AS long as the raw mate
rial Is protected they are shut out OF tn
markets Of the world, and the home mar
! ket quickly becomes OverstOcked.
Mr.. Dingley. Of Maine, another PrOtec
| ZIONIST, has introduced a bill which prac
ticaIy admits free raw materials Required
for the building Of ocean ships. Mos
ship building materials are now not du
| table. and this bill removes the restric
! tions that remain. Does the Protection
lists mean to say that the Blair and Ding
lev bills will not reduce the revenue
/ they become laws? They are trying Il
bolster up industries which cannot exis
under high protective tariff. Mr.. Blair
! scheme will not, of course, be seriously
] considered. He had better change hi
bill 50 as to put simply revenue duty OF
| raw materials.
