Governor McLAne OF Maryland, has set
good example in the appointment Of
John W. Davis, Mr.. CARROTS right hand
man in the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Company, to vacancy on the board OF
police commissioners OF Baltimore. Mr.
Davis had not sought the Office and, in
deed had never thought of it, and was
only persuaded to accept it by
the understanding that if It's duties
should interfere with obligations
heretofore undertaken he should be at
liberty to resign. The good things about
the appointment are that MI. Davis Ia not
politician and that he is q thorough
organizer and iisciplinarian, The Gov
ernor's motive in calling him to the
position, in addition 10 securing the
services Of competent man, was
to take the position out Of
politics. He does mot regard the
place of police commissioner as a
political office or one to be used for politi.
cal purposes and he desires to see the
policy OF civil service reform introduced
into the police department. He sees that
1t ia Of far less Importance to the people
whether policeman is Republican OIL
q Democrat than it is that he should
understand his business, have a broad
knowledge OF the hiphWays anf
by.ways Of the city and tn,
people who dwell thereon or re
sort thither, be temperate and prudent
be reliable guardian of the peace ant
an Incorporating foe of evil doers-ir
short that he should know his trade ant
do it-and at the same time be- able Il
rest assured that, no matter how partie
usy rise and fall, his place shall b
secure SO Icing as he attends to his bust
ness.

There are far too many voters who
read only opinions on one side OF political
questions, and thousands OF these on
both sides Enormously avoid reading
even the smallest items OF attack or de-
Tense on the opposite side for fear Of
harmipg the abaolutlsm Of their party
loyalty. Every voter, however,
who makes the least claims
to intelligence. should be will
ing to read what such a great consti.
tutional authority as George Ticknol
Curtis has to cay. To him, Blaine'f
sophistry about the surplus revenue
appears amusing, especially his ignoring
that before there can be surplus, the
appropriations and expenditures of the
fiscal year must be charged off against
the gross revenue. The communication
on the subject appears elsewhere.

Aud now the news comes that tie Rev.
Henry Ward Beeoher, after investig atins
for himself the alleged Cleveland scandal,
has withdrawn the c7nsure implied in a
private letter which somehow found its
way into priht, and has made up his
mind that he will support Mr..
Cleveland for the Presidency. He
10 reported as saying that
fall investigation has removed his
conscientious scruples,'' and satisfied
him that though the governor committed
an error about Is years ago, he at the
time acted a generous and very honor
able part, which has won his
(Beaeher's) admiration. We do
not regard Mr, Beecher's help or
htndrsnce as of very much Importance,
and we do not see how he could have
consistently have upheld in Blaine lapse
from morality which he eould not condone
In Cleveland; but, aside from this, we
cannot resist the temptation to say that
the spectacle OF Henry Ward Bsecher
setting himself up as a moral censor has
struck us all the way through as BY all
odds the funniest episode Of the present
campaign.

PHOEBE. By the author of "Rutledxe." Pub.
iished by Houghton, Mifflin Co, Boston. Pp,
Bi2i price Sl25,
This is little story Of domestic life, almost
free from anything really eventful, the charm
Of which consists in the manner of its telling
Phoebe il the unwelconle daughter-i in law
whom good though rather proud mother
has admitted into the family because driven
by sense OF duty to consent to what she
regards at the time as mesalliance which
not only demolishes the dreams which she
had built on the future of her only son but
which must cast some reflected reproaeh also
upon her two tenderly loved and carefully
reared young daughters. Phpbe, however,
proves not only beautiful enough to excuse
the sons infatuation but sensible enough to
fall quickly and very well into harmony with
her altered surroundings. The village bred
Phoebe is TOO observant and has too much
natural taste to cause her stylish now rela-
tives to blush more than once for her gauch-
erie, and the story shows that she was withal a
very good girl at heart. The author il
especially happy in admitting us into such
close companlouHhip with tine characters OF
his story that we cali read their every thought
and sympathize with their every emotion So
well is this play of feeling pictured
/ that it il almost with regret that
the reader finds at length that the
author has felt it necessary to introduce a
misunderstanding which estrapges Phoebe
| from her young husband for season. Ii
seems too bad, when their lives were growing
| so much nearer together, that this cruel
separation should arise, and the story needed
no such drop Of bitterness to add to
its interest. You feel as il the
author had introduced this dark
| picture because he feared that his narrative
| would sink into commonplace mediocrity fol
the lack of some excitant and you wish to
demonstrate with him and assure him Of youi
confidence that there is no such danger thai
even the most uneventful story when told sc
well can have nothing of medioGrity in it.

lew sRllOzs, eXhumed the bodies of the
dead, which were barely covered BY
gravel, aud prepared the remains for
removal to the ships. Blankets were
then taken to the camp from the Bear.
and in them the officers rolled the bodies,
Not until this was done were they con.
fided to the care of sailors for trans
portation to the steam launch and
to the ship. These coverings OF blankets
were never removed, and when the iron
caekets were predared at St. Johns they
received the remaine without a single
olanket having been disturbed, and the
lids were rivited on the ooffns. Clean
white waste was packed around the
bundles Ia the baskets to prevent their
rolling about. Every thing WAS done in
careful pains taking, reverent way, and
only to the officers and few sailors-not
more than three or four-was 1t known
for certainty that the bodies were
mutilsted.
Some Of the men had been little more
than skin and bones when they died but
the little FISH they had was gone in
places, as ON the calves OF the legs, on the
hips, thighs aud arms. Some OF this, IL
is thought, was used as bait for shrimps,
some TO sustain tho wasting life Of the
survivors. There seems, from the CON.
dition of the bodies, that there was no
concerted action on the part OF those re
msinlng to sustain life in this way. But
rather it seems that the psrishing men
went TO the bodies when hunger became
undesirable and supplied themselves as
best they oould.
The officers OF the vessels, who alone
can tell in full detail the condition Of the
dead when found, refuse to speak at all
on the subject. "There is this much
about it" remarked one Tuesday, "that
IL oannibalism was resorted TO IL can
never be proved. No oath, however
sacred, oould make the survivors speak.
So, say, 1t can never be proved. Proof
by circumstantisl evidence Yes. But
nothing else."

The Primary Election.

The primary on Saturday WAS one
of the closest and warmest contests
ever held in the county. Taken alto.
gether, it was conducted fairly and in
good nature, and most of the differ
ences are probably removed Ivy this
time and everything will be pleasant
before election day comes. The citi.
zens' ticket was elected by majority
Of eight. The vote shows that Haw.
thorne contains goodly number of
Republicans. While there was plenty
of hustle and excitement, there were
no quarrels or incidents sufficiently
out of the usual course of events to
demand notice. A, ArentS, Superin.
tendent of the Mount Cory, was the
unanimous choice for delegate TO the
State Convention, and on the county
tickets very lillle scratching was done.
In some of the outside precincts there
were two tickets, but the fights were
neither as close nor animated as they

The Mining and Scientific Press of

differs from all o'her known me hod ,
in the transformation of this soil from
II liquid to- solid state, instead Of the
usual attempt to drain the shaft 10y

The necessity for pumping plant is
avoided, and the danger. as well, from
the fluid con iiion of the surrounding
ground. The sinking is carried on as
in solid ground, and there is no fear
of pressure upon the sides or from the
bottom of the shaft, because the soil
forms one HON ogeneOus mass, and
slips are impossible. NJ. PGtsch

about some of the leading Democrats
of MADEIRA, little town in California.
While he was there recently they tried
to organize Tildcn and Hendricks
Club. To get a crowd they called a
meeting of citizens under the preiense
of forming social club. Quite a
number of citizens were on hand nj
the appointed time and after Chair
man and Secretary were elected, a
motion was made by one of the prime
movers That the association he called
the MADEIRA Cleveland and Hendricks
