Mr. Blaine wrote, in 1876, TO friend,
the letter being now published for the
first time, that religious liberty should
not be fettered by politics." Though writ
ten seven years ago, the letter is still of
interest in political sense. 1t lays

government can only be rightfully ad-
mInistered on the plan OF strict MURAL
ity as regards religious affairs.

situation, he was taken to the police sta
ton for protection, followed by the
creditors, who declared that if he again
fell into their hands they would bite
him TO death and eat him afterward.

ATTEMPT TO coNE1gcArE.

The San Francisco Chronicle, in the
course of long article, holds that the at
tempt to ciueh the water company down to
a starving rate is confscation that such
an act should not be tolerated that it
must be kept in view that the business is
hazardous, because the corporation is al
ways confronted with the possibility that
at some future day rival system may be
established, etc. The Spring Valley organ
forgets that at precisely such arguments
advanced by railway transporters it has
repeatedly tip tilted its journalistic nose.
The truth is, what it says now is exactly
true, and therein is found the curiosity of
the article. Want of consistency with the
Chronicle is not new, but truth.teling-
that IS marvellous,

The verdict of the Court of Inquiry into
the loss of the Jeanette is that no blame

the ship was fairly strong and well

of any one or the act of any one. This
verdict is in accord with the public senti-
ment and general Judgment regarding the
Inflated expedition. Indeed it is difficult
to see how the Court could have found even
a pretext for censuring any officer of the
