that contains a long article about Snef,

new city Will rival -Pittsburg. Birming-
ham is now selling iron in P~lttsburg at a
lower price than it has eyer been sold
: for there, and Sheffield can do better
than that by river transportation. for

Ir would be gratifying to know what news
paper writer's, ifany, Judge Wylie has met dur
ing his lifetime. He admits that if the newspa-
per men were all of like minds society would
BIO doomed to utter destruction. The only
safety for society now is, according TO Judge
Wylie, that if newspaper publishes a libel
leaning one way, the rival newspaper pub
fishes libel leaning just as far the
other way, and thus keeps things balanced.
This is not cheerful state of things to con-
template and tho remedy is not clear. Judge
Wylie himself admits that the publication of
these see-saw libels is not criminal unless
malicious, and he considers that they are
oftener racy little ccceutricities than mali
cious attacks. Perhaps the only way TO
crush the evil will be to refuse to buy
or read the newspapers If Judge
Wyle and all other really good
people would reflect that the nckols which
they pull from their pockets every morning
for tho purpose of buying newspapers were
Just so much encouragement TO the bad men
who according to Judge Wylie would de-
stroy society, except that their bad deeds
balance each other, and IT, upon such reAec-
ton, they would return these nickels to their
pockets, then newspapers would cease to be
printed and the safety-and stupidity-of
soc e'y would be assured,

FIXING THE RESPONSIBILITY.

Secretary Chandler Disnpproves OF tho
Finding OF the Court-DIartiaI I'm tho
Case OF Chief Engineer Thorn Williams
of the Pinta.
The secretary of the navy has issued a
general order in the case of Chief Engineer
Thorn Williams, who was tried and &C.
quilted by q, conrt-martial on q charge of
culpable ineficiencyin, the performance Of
duty. in connection with the repairs to the
machinery of the United States steamer
Pinta at the Norfolk navy yard:
The secretary disapproved the finding of
the court in acquitting the accused, and gives
at length and in detail his reasons.for SO
doing. In summing up his report Of the
case the secretary says: .
'In view of the evidence and after q thor
ough analysis of the entire case, as contained
in the record and accompanying exhibits, the
depar tment has reached the following con-
illusions:
/. That the Pinta was not, so far as her
machinery was concerned, fit for duty on the
Pacific station at the time Of her first trip to
Hampton roads in July. 1883.
2. That she was not fit for such duty when
she was turned over to the inspecting officers
on the first of August, 1883.
g. That this unfitness was due, in largo
degree, to defects which could have been
discovered and remedied upon thorough
examination of the machinery in all its parts,
and that such examination was not made at
any time prior to tho overhauling of the
same at New York.
A. That the accused having, as senior member
of the board appointed in July, 1883, reported
that no blame could attach to any one on
board the Pinta during her trip to Hampton
roads, and having afterward undertaken, as
| part Of his defense written defense, PIP. 3,
| a, 8, 10Y to show that blame should attach to
Passed Assistant Engineer Inch for misman-
| agement during that trip, he was, by his own
| showing, guilty either Of neglect OF duty in
| the first instance in not reporting Mr.. Inch,
or of Misrepresentation in the latter by falsely
| accusn him.
5. That the theory that Passed Assistant
Engineer Inch was mainly responsible for
the damage and defects found to exist after
the return Of the Pinta from Hampton roads
| is not sustained by the evidence.
| 9. That the unftness Of the Pinta so far
as her machinery was concerned, for duty on
| the Pacific station, and the failure to discover
and remedy by timely examination and action
| tho defects which occasioned or contributed
to such unftness were due to the culpable in
efficiency of Chief Engineer Williams.

Mr.. GARDNER G. HUBBARD made an ar
gument yesterday before the senate commit
tee on postoffices and postroads in favor of a
postal telegraph. The burden of the argu-
ment was that the telegraph business, when
carried on by private corporations, always
had been, and. in the nature of the case, must
always be, monopoly. A history of the stock
watering operations of the Western Union was
given and the conclusion drawn that
when the public must pay dividend
on this fictitious value Of the plant,
it was forced to pay too high q
rate for the service rendered. Mr. Hubbard
also showed that the boosted impartiality OF
the Western Union in sending all messages
in the same order as they were received was
true only in theory, not in fact. The power
Of the Western Union to ruin newspapers oil
other business enterprises which did not i'm
plicitly obey its will was referred to- and sew
eral instances were cited to prove it.

ELSEWHERE we print the text of bill
which by request Senator Logan has intro
duced in the senate. While it is crude in
text and would require thoughtful elabora :.
tion to be made effective, the central idea of
the proposed measure is of value. An intel
ligent investigation and analysis of the con-
dition of our colored people now, as compared
with what it was in 1866, could not fail to
prove highly interesting and important. We
believe striking degree Of improvement
would be manifested. Such an investigation
would furnish valuable data for guidance in
national measures designed to cure illiteracy
that alone would justify it.

A Llfe-savlng suggestion.
New York Tribune.

The committee on commerce has bill for the
relief of American shipping ready to report to the
senate In connection With this measure it might
be well for the senators to see If some legislation
could not be devised which wou Id tend to dimin'
fish the loss of life and property ut sea. The pro-
portion of disasters at saa due TO nseaworthinesS
is increasing every year. Probably the causes OF
the increase are preventable, for good ship well

have examined into the matter that fewer vessels

liable for the lives Of their employees just so far as
manufacturers arc held responsible e-that is, for
the injury resulting from the negligence Of the
captains they employ; and if no marine insur-

of the ship and the cargo. These remedies seem
