Recalling Salamis

The most important naval battle 70
the ancient world vas the n which
took place between the Persian fleet ST.
the allied navies of the Greeks. AL u

the PersianS. and NerXes was s certais
Of his coming victory that he had 2
throne erected, from which he could s;.t
the humiliation of the Grecian tle,t
which was hemmed in the straits whc.
lay between the mainland and the isl..r;
and harbOr of Salamis. Had Xer>ef
been victorious the world would have
lost the most splendid page in its hi,
tory, that of Greek civilization and IT,
models she produced in every deIar~
ment of human activity for after age
to initiate. But the Grecians cOnguoret>
and so overwhelming was their victor'
that XerxeS immediately retreated -
Asia. and his armies were subsequently
defeated by the combined hosts q.
Greece. A great undertaking il o
under way to thoroughly explore tn.
bottom of the straits and bay of Sala-
mis- with a view to the discovery and
reconstruction of the vessels. which
have been imbedded in the sands for
over two thousand years. Although
infinitely described. we have still but q
faint idea of an ancient ac-Of-war.
We know they were open boats with
three tiers of rowers. Many Of them
were rams with beaks to destroy the
enemy. The soldiers fought on a plat
form or on a deck neal the bOwsprit
The combat was h~and-tO-hand. With
sail and oar these vessels were very
swift. especially if tho wiud helped
them. The twenty centuries have dOub-
less covered these vessels with layer
upon layer of sand and detritus. But
still the diving apparatus of modern
times is so far perfected that these 9 5
sells can be exhumcd. and take their
place in the museums of the world. to
show the kind of ships that saved Gre
clan civilization from being ver

II they had succeeded in inauguFating

President, after having gained one

another by outright purchase, the
very life of the Republic would have

Cleveland put the peril very co9ently
thus:
There should be no mistake ut this

AFTER n somewhat inexplicabl,

AFTER a somewhat inexplicable de-
lay in its appearance there the first
volume of James q. Blaine's Twenty
Years in Congress" lies on our table.
1t is voluminous work of great value
to the student of American politics.
Its author is master of clear and
sinewy style, he is OF an impetuous
temperament and has been endowed
with very analytical as well as com
prehensive intellect. He is therefore
both vivacious and acute. The work
has been very favorably received both
in the United States and in England !;
and, in the main, it seems to deserve
this recognition. Mr. Blaine in its
pages advances many views with
which no Democrat sympathizes and
which, in some instances at least, are
at variance with the true history of
the period of which he treats. One of
the results of the late election will be
to give him an opportunity OF finish
ing a work which will always possess
an interest for those who desire to
master all the aspects of the complex
politics OF the last twenty years or so.
1t is handsomely printed, is issued
from the press of the Henry Bill pub
fishing company of Norwich, Conn,
and is delivered by agents on sub
scription only. II is said to have
netted u rs author a sum which
would be regarded rs a large fortune
by man OF moderate views.

Our Republican friends are engaged

Our Republican friends are engaged
just now in a forlorn attempt to eli
pher Cleveland out of his assured
plurality in New York Success does
not seem to crown this effort. As for
the excited kilograms of Judge this
and General that they are mere
sound and fury, signiiying nothing.
Day before yesterday the hopes of
Mr.. Blaine's partisans rested upon an
asserted error of 1000 votes in single
precinct of New York, which
were alleged to have been cast
for the Republican nominees.
As there are, ON an average, two
Democrats for one Republican in the
Empire City, that precinct must have
contained the healthy number of 6000
voters although, as a matter of fact,
there are not more than 1900 voters
in any precinct in New York City.
This roorback was circulated upon
the strength of purported telegram
from Mr.. Walker Blaine. Very
shortly, however, came the state
ment that Mr.. Blaine had sent no
such telegram. Yesterday, again, we
were treated to the antics of one Judge
Joslyn, who, in his minds eye, has
discovered an error of four or five
thousand votes in the count in New
York city and county. The "Jedge"
doubtless believes his own frenzied
declaration, but fortunately for Cleve-
land nobody else does. 1t will require
little waiting, but the small but sure
plurality for the Democratic nominees
will be announced very shortly, and
when ii arrives it will come to stay.

The defalcation in the office Of the
State Treasurer is lamentable cir
cumstance which covers with con
fusion most estimable gentleman.
There Is no code Of morals which will
hold an honored and honest father
responsible for the shortcomings Of
his son. An evening journal, in com
menting upon the matter, says that
the incident reflects discredit upon
the administration OF Gov. Stoneman.
We fail TO see the justice Of such a
view. Mr.. January, Sr., IL not ac-
cuscd Of the slightest dereliction OF
duty. Millions OF dollars are held in
the vaults Of the State Treasury and
il il impossible for the official custo-
dian Of these moneys to know at all
times that they are on hand to the
last cent. There are stated periods
for counting this coin, and II is only
on these regular counting days that a
defalcation would be discovered.
Through an amiable instinct Of human
nature a father is always the last per-
son TO suspect the integrity Of his own
son. We can appreciate the fact that
the disclosure of his offspring's vii
lainy will fall like thunderbolt upon
the State Treasurer, but the facts do
not warrant the sweeping censure
INDUCED in by our esteemed con-
temporary. II appears that the
moneys abstracted were in the vaults
Of the State Treasury in violation of
law and had been placed there M a
matter Of accommodation to several
Of the County Treasurers OF the State.
II has become an interesting question
as TO whether the bail bond of Mr..
January can be made responsible for
the losses. We have no doubt but
that this honored and estimable pub
lie official will strip himself to his
last penny TO make amends for his
sons villainy. Personally he is the
subject Of pity rather than blame,
and the slightest exercise OF the
logical faculty would suggest that II
State administration cannot be made
responsible for the gambling vagaries
of n young man until il has lost some
thing. The incident, however,
teaches the wisdom of not appointing
ones near relatives to positions Of
pecuniary trust. Thomas jefferson
laid down the wholesome Democratic
doctrine that the mere fact that u
man, however well qualified other
wise, was his own relative, prccluded
his appointment to any office while
he (Jetlcrson) was President. He
even declined to recognize the ties of
friendship as claim for official pre-
ferment. Such episodes az that at
Sacramento the other day will not be
without certain utility ii they shall
tend to the revival OF this leIIersonian
practice.

nesday night has moistened the
ground sufficiently for the purposes
of the farmer, and the gang plow is
now busily at work in all quarters OF
