The Question of Free Ships.

4s1o YORK " OFt1.
An Englishman thoroughly familiar
with the official statistics Of the English
Board of Trade and with the condition of
ship-building in Great Britain writes as
follows to a friend in New York:
''Our shipping business seems to be I'M
dergOing a complete revolution. Sailing
vessels, except of a large size, are not
being built. and an amount of capital is
being put into steamers which, to say
the least, is startling. By opening the
door to our ships YOU would be reviving
your own building trade, owing TO the in
creased price which would be asked here
in response to your orders.
Another feature here is the gradual dis
appearance of the private ship owner and
the formation of jOi-t stock ship owning
companies. The interests involved are
getting SO great, and the capital required
for these big vessels so large as to be be-
yOnd the power of ordinary mOrtals, sim
gle-handed. Almost all the large shippers
from London are now being made into
companies, and where they are not they
are curbed under agreements and ar
rangements to protect each other from
outside attack with something Of a COM
mon fund for distribution at the end of
the year. What the result of all these
charges will be remains to be seen. At
this moment the value Of ships on our
slips exclusive of those preparing TO be
laid down cannot be less than E20, 1000, 900
that is, classed and unbiased, includ-
ing what Is being built for foreign account.
Our engine makers and ship builders are
having it all their own way for the time.

The cotton spinning boom in England,
II appears, has been overworked. In
Oldham alone, the headquarters of cotton
spinning, more than one million new
spindles were started in 1882. The work.
ingmen say that this enormous increase
is due to building spectators and stock
company promoters. who start companies
and make large profit out Of the building
contracts, and then work on their stock
on unskilled purchasers who have to keep
down wages to compete at present prices.

A Candid Opinion.


Conference committee legislation is
Objectionable and nearly always bad
when at its very best. ReyisiOns Of the
tariff are the very last thing that should be
left to conference work, and this particu-
lar manner of conference ordered yester-
day on the Senate bill is the most objec-
tionable and very worst proceeding of the
kind we can call TO mind in Congressional
legislation. 1t would be far better all
around for both the friends Of protection
and the advocates of free trade to let the
matter drop than to trust to the chance
work that will come out Of a conference
committee on this subject.

The Illness of Governor stephens

The Illness of Governor stephens.
The people Of Georgia, and, in fact, Of
the country in general, are panied to
learn Of the critical illness of our hOnOred
Chief Magistrate. While all who know
the great Georgian wonder that one so
frail could have stood the strain Of half a
century Of busy life, yet the fact that he
has displayed such endurance en-
cOurages his friends to hope
that his vitality is sufficient
to enable him to weather the present
crisis. still, while there is ground for
hope there Is grave cause for fear, and
tidings Of improvement in the condition
Of the illustriOus patient will be hailed
with JOY by all Georgians and every one
throughout the country, who has learned
to value the ability and integrity of the
veteran statesman.
We would fain not entertain the posi-
bility OF Governor Stephens death at
this juncture. May he be spared to CON-
plete the task, which his people have
committed to him. But should the Arbiter
Of our destinies will that he must lay his
life work down, he will 90 TO his long rest
with the benedictiOns of the people that
hOnOred and revered him. and whom it
was his pride to serve so zealOusly and 50
faithfully.
Once already, when it was thought that
the grand spirit had quit its fragile tene-
ment, the Nation passed its judgment on
the great son of Georgia. There was
naught in that judgment to his dispar-
agement, and the years that have elapsed
have added to the esteem and reverence
in which his cOuntrymen have held him.
Let US trust that the iron resolution of the
distinguished sufferer will serve him in
his battle for life.

In a sermon recently delivered by the

after speaking fervidly of the great
spiritual good that has been accomplished
at home and abroad through the agency
Of the missions of the Methodist Church,
incidentally referred to the question from
a commercial point of view. He said that
before the missionaries had converted the
Sandwich Islands the natives did not use
more than fifteen yards of calico each to
keep them in clothing for as many
months. As soon, however, as the re-
quirements of civilization dawned upon
them their wants increased with the
stages of improvement through which
they passed. Morally, physically and in
tellectually they have made decided adj
vance, and the business now transacted
between the islands and the United States
is fifty-fOld greater than the amount spent
in sending out missionaries. He said the
same result could be seen wherever the
missionary had gone. They spread civil
cation as well as the Word Of God.
