Culpable Ineficiency.

1t is difficult to escape the conclusion that
each and all of the great marine disasters
of the year that have occasioned so much
loss and sorrow were the result of neglect of
the ordinary precautions of careful naviga-
ton. The "City of Columbus was out of
her course on clear night. The daniel
Steinmann" was wrecked because when in
dangerous waters, entirely practicable
means Of avoiding accident were neglected,
The collision by which the Estate of Flori-
da' and sailing vessel were both sunk oe-
CURED on clear night when each vesselss
lights must have been clearly visible for a
long time to those on lookout on the other.
The collision between the steamers 'Neva-
da'' and the romano" the latter being
sunk, occurred on the wide ocean in broad
daylight The Getty ofPortland'' struck
well known ledge while being navigated
through !. dangerous channel on clear
night. The story of the shifted buoy is
myth. This is startling recital of culpa-
Die Negligence on the part of officers upon
whose carefulness depended the lives of
hundred of people.
There appears to be no other conclusion
possible than that every one of these caam-
tiles was the result of recklessness, and that
every one might have been prevented easily
by due attention to the requirements of
safety, such attention as the officers OF YES
sells are, in the nature of the case, bound to
exercise Is it not time to inquire whether
the penalties for carelessness on The part of
the responsible officers of passenger
vessels are sufficiently severe, OF are en-
forced with sufficient rigor? The risk
OF travelling by sea is great enough al
ways. 1t is enormously increased when these
whose duty il is to make the risks as few
as possible venture to take additional and
needless hazards. A temporary withhold
ing of certificate of competence is rot an
adequate penalty for capital fault. OF
what use is it to say that officers are careful
whose careessness has been so palpably de-
monstrated2 Public opinion ought to make
its verdict felt 10 these cases.

The Argus asserts that the PRESS is for
ward in censuring Mr.. Andrews for not en-
forcing the liquor law while deputy sheriff,
but neglects to censure his Republican sue
cessor. The PRESS has stated certain facts
which we believe the Argus has not disput-
ed We will repeat them. In eight months
after taking Office as deputy sheriff Mr.. An
drews made but 40 seizures and secured but
convictions. In the four months succeed
ing, his chief having been defeated in the
elections, he made $50 seizures, making a
total of 1899 seizures in twelve months. Sub.
sequently Mr.. Andrews became city marshal,
in which Office he was equally bound to
enforce the liquor laws. In eleven months
he made only As seizures. During the same
period his successor in the Office of special
Deputy Sheriff made over 500 seizures, more
than four times as many as Sheriff Andrews
made in twelve months. If Sheriff True has
not done all that might be done he has
shown himself to be four times as efficient
as Mr.. Andrews was in that office and ten
times as efficient as Mr.. Andrews was as City
Marshal. The question now under consid-
Grafton relates to the efficiency OF Mr..
Andrews, and we fail to see how the Argus
expects to establish his efficiency by COM
parison of his service with that of Sheriff
Trne.

LIFE OF REV. F. D. MAURICE.
The Life of Frederick Denison Maurice, Ed
tied by his son, is very remarkable work. and
will be found particularly interesting by the
students of modern religion as deyeloped in
England. Ii cannot be admitted that Maurice
has enriched the science of theology in the
sense that he has produced any treatise which
the theologians of today are bound to study.
HIS biography, moreover, suffers from GER
tain monotony, Mauriee's letters being far
from sprightly or pointed. The biography
shows also that Maurice, although actually the
father of the broad church party as represent
ed by the late Dean Stanley and the Contem-
porary Review, was entirely unwilling to be
identified with any party movement and even
with that school which wrote "No Party'' on
its banners. Indeed, the term broad-church
seems to have been coined by Dean Stanley in
the Edinburgh Review of July, 1850 But Maui
rice did much greater work than TO organize
new school OF party. BE enlarged the cath
oilclty OF the Anglican church, and paid very
dearly for it, in that he was removed from his
professorship in Kings College, London, for
having uttered liberal views on the subject of
eternal punishment after death. The low
church party was quite as severe on Maurice
as were the Pnseyites and rit1alists. Mr.. Maui
rice, by birth Unitarian, became an Augli-
can from conviction, and was the first of the
Christian socialists whose practical work ap-
pears IN the Workingmen's College, London
now presided over by Sir John Lubbock. Mr.
Maurice led in the movement for the higher
education OF women, and as early as 1SA9 he
helped in organizing country excursions for
poor children. Yet this man who served the
poor and the struggling was one of the.
most learned and spiritual men of his
time, whose letters are replete with remarks
on the study of philosophy, on the re-
formers, on the church fathers,s on politics,
and en- great contem porary events like the
Indian meeting and the Franco-P russan war.
Mr.. Maurice was neither an orator, nor an or
ganzer in the ordinary sense of the term; he
was shy aud loved peace. For his associates
aud companions he selected the choicest spirits
around him But he impressed himself on
men like Charles Kingsley, Thomas Hughes,
Arthur Stanley and the many people who try
to combine the highest spiritual aspirations
with severely practical aud also with humble
work. To understand such man well one
must possess scholarship, aspiration, and that
spirit of sweet service which is one of the
noblest fruits of the Christian religion. The
biography of Maurice is not strictly a popular
work; but the men and women who have done
hard work with their heads, and kept their
hearts pure as well as active and humble, will
lind Mr.. Maurice's letters profoundly interest
ing and in the noblest sense profitable.

Few business men will deny the great saving
of time accomplished by the use of carefully
prepared book of Interest Tables. But most
of the books of this character were made years
ago, when the present low rates of interest did
not prevail. In the prosperous years which
succeeded our great Civil War high prices for
commodities and high rates of interest for
bonds, loans and mortgages were the rule,
but of later years the state of affairs in the
business world has greatly changed. Low
prices, plethora of money and low rates of in
terest now prevail and there is want of a
book of Interest Tables accurately calculated,
containing in addition to the usual tables, CAL
culations of interest at o ne, two ana three per
cent. This want is supplied by new work
"Porter & Coates interest Tables" compiled
by John e. Coffin, S. B., which contains ac-
curate calculations of interest on one-half, one,
two, three, three-and-one-half. four, four
and-one-half, five, six, seven, eight and ten
per cent. per aunum; showing the interest on
any amount, from 81 to $4,000, and from one
day TO six years.

We have received copy of the able and
thorough speech of Congressman Dingley of
this State on Protection to American In
dustries," made while the House had the
Morrison bill under consideration. Like
everything attempted by Mr.. Dingey it shows
the results of patient investigation, intelli-
gent deliberation, and vigorous reasoning.
1t is not a general essay on the tariff ques-
ton, bnt particular reply, and very fore
ible one, TO the arguments which the friends
of the Morrison bill had advanced during
the debate. The points are not evaded or
summed but they are met fairly and square,
" and refuted, one by one, with skill and eff
fectiveness This document if widely cir
culated will do great good in clearing away
the fogs with which sophistical theorizing
has beclouded very practical matter. He
recognizes the full significance of the fact
that while the necessity of reducing the rev.
enue was the pretext of the Morrison bill, it
was not adapted to accomplish that end, and
was in fact, as its author admitted, a step in
the direction of free trade. The peril of
such step Mr.. Dingley sets forth SO plainly
that nobody who is dependent on the pros
perity of American industries will feel regret
that the bill has been defeated.
