Remarks Of GEN. Hazen.
Gen. W. B. Hazen, chief signal officer O. s. A., In
transmitting the report OF Lieut. Darlington to
Secretary Lincoln, makes the following remarks:
The failure Of the expedition to find stores and
dogs ready In Greenland, as had been expected, is
not understood, since the Danish government had
been communicated with on that subject at the
proper time, which was all that could be done OF
had been usual In previous years.
The question OF supplementary orders that Mr.
Darlington refers to as having been raised and In
unfairness to himself, is In substance correctly
stated by him. After Lieut. Greely arrived In Lady
Franklin bay in 1881, he wrote out and sent to this
Office full directions for the party that might be
sent to relieve him, ending as follows: s'No devfa-
tion from these Instructions should be permitted
Latitude OF action should not be given to reliev-
ing party who, on known coast, are searching for
men who knew their plans and orders" This made
it matter OF greatest delicacy to give any direc-
tons that Id any manner might change the pro
gram there marked out. Congress had after
wards, however, added another element to the
question, In this that the party should be brought
away this summer. This, at first, caused the In
struction to be determined upon that the stores be
landed at ttleton island before going north oe that

Under which King, Bezon,ap,

Nothing could he more ludicrous than the
refusal of both the police judge and the crimi-
nal court to take jurisdiction of the question
of admitting to bail man held by the former
to answer to any indictment that might be
found in the latter. What n charming opera
bouffe some local playwright might make of
the profound wisdom which secs one question
too great for human masteryl
Smith is arrested upon charge of forgery
by warrant Issued by Judge Smell In tho
police court. Tho judge decides that
probable cause exists, and holds him to
bail to appear in the criminal court
to answer any indictment that may be found
there. Smith does not at once furnish bail
and is lodged in Jail. Later he finds friends
not be determined by which court he shall be
released upon giving the bail. Judge Wylie
says he has nothing to do with it prior to in.
dictment. Judge Smell says he has nothing
to do with it, since he has sent the papers to
Judge Wylie's court. And so poor Smith
remains in Jail for bailable oilense because
tho two judicial magnates cannot agree as to
which one shall accept the bail required
There has been nothing like it since Ginx's
baby was left to its own resources in a church
gallery while Catholics and Protestants con.
tended, not so much for its possession as to
how each could keep IL from falling into the
hands of the other. The personal liberty OF
Smith cannot, of course, be of so much conse.
quence as the question of which judge shall
approve u fve-hundred-dollar bond.

Innnity Among sncLcty Mon.

A groan goes up from New York, Boston,
their society men. The queer flct of it is that
each city is totally oblivious that London,
and Paris, and other great cities make the
same complaint, and it may be set down as
universal, from the operation Of n law as plain
as two and two make four. The best men
avoid what is called society. That organized
romp, the German, which originated among
the lower classes in Germany, has driven out
all the dignifed dances in which amau of sense
could figure. 1t is true that the German has
been, to great degree, banished from the +. G.
d. @. balls in New York, the Patriarchs' and
other fashionable subscription balls, but it
still holds its own In private houses. An exam
ination of the craniology of tho men especially
whose business is to attend Germans would
discover smaller average of brain power
than in the same number of men selected
from any other walk in life. No man who
ever led German has ever yet become Prcsi-
dent Of the United States Tho frivolity
of the employment is perhaps very well suited
to the capacities of the gilded youth but
they appear to neglect good behavior to an
extraordinary degree. The London society
papers openly say that good society manners
are among the lost arts. Good breeding be-
ing a combination of good sense and good
feeling, it.scems a little unreasonable to OK
pcct it from the half-educated brokers clerks,
young grocers, and wholesale haberdashers
who constitute the danciag men of New
York.

Good Material for Jurlos.

The summoning of Gen. Grant, ex-senator
ConlSling, William H. Vanderbilt, Jay Gould,
and five ex-mayors of New York city to serve
on n coroner's jury is full of suggestion. Tho
trial by jury is often rendered farcical by the
character of some of the juries. Business
men are unwilling to serve if by any excuse
they can avoid it. 1t is unjust to take me-
chanics or laborors from the work on which
their children depend for daily bread. But
two other classes romain from which to
select viz, the idle rich and the idle
poor The latter includes many of course
who are worthy and anxious for employment,
but it also embraces the vagrant and the
vicious. As yagrants are inadmissible, and
as the worthy poor who are unemployed
should not bo interrupted in their search for
employment, why not fall back on the idle
National Republican., 1883-02-09

rich2 This is not what was done in New
York, for the eminent gentlemen summoned
by the coroner there arc busy men. But the
character Of the men suggests grand possi-
bilities for jury trials in this district. Hore
VIC could easily have as ornaments
in tho jury box tho very highest
names in the land-retired business
men and statesmen. Think of jury with
such names on il as W. w. Corcoran,
j. w. Thompson, James G. Blaine, Joseph E.
Johnston, John b. Alley Washington Nc
Lean, jerome Bonapartc ex-Justice Strong,
Joseph Willard, John A..King, Gen. Nicholas
Anderson, II. NJ. Hutchinson, Robert G.
schenck, and James G.. Berret. 1t would be
almost pleasure for an innocent man to be
accused of crime for the sake of being ac-
quilted by jury so composed. After the
fourth Of March the list can be re.enforccd
by some who will then rest from official labors
and remain rs residents of Washington.

ImpOrters vs. LnbOrors.

1t is well-known fact that importers of
foreign goods are among the strongest advo-
Gates of free trade. To them free trade is
wealth. They want no protection Of Ameri-
can labor. Rather would they sec every mill
.and factory in the country closed than have q
tariff favorable to home industry imposed upon
foreign goods. They have no profit in nor
sympathy for the toll of their fellow citizens.
Their eyes are turned toward the half-paid
mendcants and sorls of Europe for from their
gaunt fingers come the dollars and pounds
which build up American aristocracy.
Why then, should they favor tariff
legislation when it is against their
interests to do so. Their attitude is
one of finance, and they have no UNDER
standing or comprehension of the word pa
triotism, Beyond the monthly trial balance
sheet, and the means TO be employed to secure
thereon favorable footings, they have no ken.
Having no interest other than "shent per
shcnt," their clamor should receive only its
due weight, nothing more, and it will be
found as light as ether If our ports could be
opened for tho free entry of all foreign pro-
ducts, the importers would willingly vote for
direct taxation and every other tried and
mangled heresy of the past. The influence
Of such class upon the legislative action of

THE citizens of Dakota have been citizens
of eastern and other states, They have made
commonwealth on the prairics, and now are
demanding the rights of citizenship which
their toll and perseverance, have earned. 1t
is almost a criminal disregard of the constitu-
tion which prevents the granting Of those
rights. Probably Dakota cannot secure ad.
mission to the union during this session Of
congress. More than likely tho incoming
horde of bourbons will turn a deaf ear to her
pleddings. Nevertheless, she has right TO
congressional representation, and the mere
fact of her rcpublicausm cannot oblitcrate
that right The fear that she would aid in
the election of a republican president is not a
reason for its being withheld, 1t is rank and
