BROWN AND MOSES.
Two Eminent Statesmen from South Carolina
and Georgia.

A writer in your morning democratic con
temporary reminds Col, Rollin II. Kirk that
exGov. Moses served rs a delegate to two nu-
tional republican conventions
I am aware of that fact. am also cog
infant of tho fact that the distinguished senior
senator from Georgia, Hon. Joseph f., Brown,
was delegate to the Chicago republican con.
vention in 1865, where he denounced the viii

of rare force and cloquence-So rcplctc with
patriotic sentiment that II should be published

In the cilse of the il.iatcd Moses, as IN that
Of the illustrlous Georgia senior senator, tho
fact of his having served IN II republican ma

fortress after the captulatinn Of Maj. Andcr-

had formerly severed her connection with the
union; but Gov. Joseph E. Brown, of Georgia,
ordered the reduction of Fort Pulaski While

which these sintcsright patriots supported
the fortunes of the late conledcrncy makes 1t
quite natural that they should now bc devout
disciples of u bastard democracy.

The Harper Brothers ought to consult
their lotter book--if thoy keep one.-be-
fore they rush into tho newspapers with
explanations. If they had read the letter
written by tho head of tho firm on March
10. 1888 published in THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN of last Saturday., before
they addressed note to tho PHILADELPHIA
Press published in to.day's NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN,, they would have saved
themselves some modification. 1t is q
curious coincidence that on the very day
tho communication TO tile editor Of the
Press was written TIIE NATIONAL REPuB-
LtcAS brought to light the letter which
proves that the head of the firm was an
enthusiastic admirer Of Mr. Blaine four
years attor tho time ho says Hdrp"rs
Weekly ceased to regard him as proper
candidate for tho presidency
According to tho communication ad-
dressed to the Philadelphia Press, tho lIar-
pers turned against Mr.. Blaine as carly
~ 1879, long boforo 10 was known that
| he proposed to writc . book; but tho let
| tor of March -, iss3, shows that less than
sixteen months ago Mr.. J. W. Harper. ir.,
the head Of the firm, had a profound ad-
niiration for him. There is something
gushing in his language. " / keep q mol
unframed ipgcr on the popular pldsc, vhich,
u, our rigorous american life, is generally
hcaiihg. aud | am sure IL beats strongly il
admiration aud affection for man who has
been absolutely fearless IN his patriotism"
What has Mr.. Blaine dono since March
! 10, 1883, to change Mr. Harpor's estimate
Of him? His public record was as well
known then as it is now. Mr.. Harper
had all the material before him for form
ing an intelligentjudgmont, and certainly
his gracefully expressed appreciation of
the statcsman's ability and patriotism is
sufficiently fattcring to Mr.. Blaine. 1t
happened, however, that Mr.. Blaine
already had contracted with publishing
firm to bring out his book, and the Offer
of the Harper Brothers was declined
The Philadelphia Press intimated that
this was tho reason tho Harpors nov
opposed him for the presidency, and il
was to roluto this imputation that the
notc OF Aug. was written. If Mr.. Har-
per could have foreseen that it wonld be
published in tho same column with the
letter of March 10, 1888, it is not likely
that it would over haye been written.
After such an enthusiastic Endorsement
of Mr.. Blaine it is most singular that the
great journal which tho Harpers control
should be caricaturing him now and try
ing to degrade him in the eyes of his
countrymen. The firm denies that ''per-
sonal spite" is the motive, but If it is moi
it must DO some other motive equally
mean. Tho weight of evidence is over
whelmingly against the book publishing
firm of political perfcctionists. The
hypocrite and the slanderer stands ex'
posed aud self-condemned before the
people.

If 1t is fact that Health Officer Town
shend reported to tho commissioners two
years ago that the United States hotol
was unsafe and should bo pulled down,
then the responsibility for the terrible
accident that occurred Sunday night rests
upon them or their subordiuates If after
that report the inspector of buildings
failed to carefully aud thoroughly OK
anime the building he was derelct in his
duty. If he did examine the building,
md could not detect its imperfections
and the liability of its walls to fall, then
he is incompetent. and should be removed
at once. The insecurity of this building
has been common talk for years. The
wonder is that the disaster did not oc-
cur before, and the only cause for thank
fulness is that the loss of life aud extent
of injury were not greater.

Tnr demonstration at Portsmouth yes.

The demonstration at Portsmouth yes
terday was a fitting reception to the noble
men who suffered almost incredible hard
ship in tho frozen north for 80 long n
time and to tho equally brave men who
rescued them just on the brink Of an icy
grave. Too much honor cannot be be-
slowed upon Lieut.. Greedy and his brave
companions for trials and privations they
endured nor to Commander Schley and
his gallant associates for their intrepid
valor in the voyage of relief And right
here it may be suggested that it would
not be amiss to promote the men to tho
signal corps at once, so that they may
receive tho benefit of the increased COM
pensation while they are enjoying their
sick leave.

Information has been received ut the treas

pers 30 well that it is ablo to appear in n
handsome now dress. Tho success of the
Wig means great deal in Virginia. 1t
has to contend with political preudices
and habits of thought upon which the
strongest argument aud the keenest ridi-
culo make but little impression; but the
Wing is nevertheless winning its way, and
in the new Virginia which it is helping
