Attorney General Garland says that John
Roach cannot make us take the Dolphin,
because the law which authorized her TO be
built required staunch vessel of 10 knots
speed and she has not the speed nor the
staunchness. This is doubtless hard upon
Roach, who went upon his bargain with
the secretary of the navy, and not upon
the law AS the secretary's power was
limited by law, Mr.. Roach comes to grief.
Heretofore Mr.. Roach's experience has
been that it was good deal better to have
the secretary than the law on his side.
He has new experience now. And
finds that though he built the Dolphin as
Secretary Chandler's advisory board told
him to do, he is left because he did not
build her as the law required. Mr.. Roach
will know better next time; if he ever gets
another chance at a gunboat, which is
doubtful.

An Imposition.

With the best of good reasons the presi-
dents sister complains that unscrupulous
publishers take advantage of her position
to append " Washington " to her old
articles and parts of lectures exhumed and
iepublished as Of 6 White House author
ship"
It's true that in this democratic country,
Miss Cleveland, the mistress of the White
House and the sister Of the president, is
the same Miss Cleveland of yester-
day, woman of independent thought
and outspoken speech, dependent on
her own exertions and responsible to her
self. But the public attaches to her utter
ances in her present position and to the
outgivings of the lady of the White
House significance that they did not pos
sess when she was a private person. Self
respecting publishers would respect her by
regarding this.
As Miss Cleveland had intended before
Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1885-07-13

her brothers election TO publish in book
the essays and lectures which had been de-
livered before she became the sister of
president, her changed relations afforded
no good reason to change her purpose; and
there is no force in the captious
criticism that she should have withheld
the volume because it will now meet with
an extraordinary sale. But the publisher
who prints her works of years ago as her
writings of to-day, misrcpresents her and
imposes upon the public. A conspicuous
instance of this was recently furnished by
the Christian at Work, which reprinted
an extract from an old lecture on "The
Smiths," in such u manner as to make II
appear that il was written recently IL
Washington. A Christian might be al
better work than the preparation of sucl
| a fraud.

Maryiand's Anger-Makers.

From the Cecil Democrat
During period of twenty-elght or thirty
years, ending about 1910, the markets OF
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
were almost exclusively supplied with screw
augers made in the northern part of Cecil
county, Maryland, whence fifteen shops and
100 persons supplied the trade. Thomas
Garrett learned the mystery OF auger making e
from Miles Standish Ca lineal defendant ol
the Miles Standish who came over to New
England in the MayfIower) who, in company
with Ebenezer Alden Ga defendant OF thu
John Alden who also came to America in thu
Maynower,) settled near the northwes
corner of Maryland about the year lIss
The journeys required to get the augers
market when the business was at its best
which was before the time Of steamboats, ant
railroads, were undertakings Of g. cat magni
tude, and were performed on the old
fash 'oned shallops which piled between Ell
Landing and Baltimore and New Castle an

MoNsIGNoR CAPEL and the Marquis of
Queensberry are arguing through the San
Francisco press the question Of what is
agnosticism. Queensberry takes the ground
that the agnostic objects to the word God,
not because he denies the existence of some
almighty inscrutable power, but because he
objects to the giving name such as God is,
10 that which he believes to be undefinable,
unthinkable OF by man. Capel answers by
quoting Huxley, the inventor of the word
agnostic. But true agnosticism will not
forget that existence, motion and law-abding
operation are more stupendous miracles than
any recounted by the mythologies and that
there may be things not only in the heavens
and earth, but beyond the ineligible universe,
which are not dreamed of in our philosophy"
and he clinches his point by asking why if
"eXstence, motion and law-abiding opera
ton" can be defined, "the existence of some
almighty inscrutable power" does not also
admit of definition. All of which controversy
goes to show that there is a not very thick
paper wall between agnostic and Christian.

NOt Quite Consistent.

In further development of its ideas as to |
the distinction between n personal war
fare " against political candidates and a
searching inquiry into their political re-
cords and relations, the Philadelphia Times
explains that "a bitter personal campaign
against Tilden and a like personal cam
paign against Garfield, although held 10 the
line of their public records, certainly con-
tributed to their success. There uds no
logical dnSuer 10 Garfelds Credit MoJilier
or dc Golycr record, but the answer Of the
partisan feeling that esteemed it a virtue
to be bitterly assailed by the opposition;
and who will pretend that there was any
logical answer to the social scandals that
confronted both Blaine and Cleveland, or
| to the Fisher scandal against Blaine, ex-
| cept that the country trusted and elected
Cleveland and Pennsylvania resented the
| searching inquiry into Mr.. Blane's rela-
tions with public affairs during the last
twenty years, by giving him $1,000 ma
jori:y."
We do not feel confident that we quite
understand the force of these illustrations.
If the assaults on Tilden and Garfield were
held to the line of their public records,
does the Times mean to intimate that what
was offensive in these records strengthened
the candidates with their own respective
parties, because it was seized upon ant
made much of by the opposition i
" there was no logical answer " to TIN
charge that Mr.. Garfield had betrayed hi
trust and sold his influence as a congress
. man, would the Times have us believe tina
this charge helped rather than hurt him
! Again does the Times recognize no dis
$ | tinction between " the social scandal
that confronted both Blaine an
t Cleveland T" and " the Fisher scandf
i against Blaine''Y Surely the former wei
S of the nature of personal warfare" pun
h and simple; while the latter was entircl
o of public character and the legitimat
d subject of political discussion. But no
IS does the Times figure out that these a
4. saults operated to elect Cleveland and f;
r the same time to carry Pennsylvania (,
le Blaine by $1,000 majority, when the i
y lluelice of the scandals was alike oper
Of tive all over the country? If tn,

re if to their influence is to- be ascribed
er phenomenal local majority for one cant
ia date, they cannot consistently be credit
lis at the same time with the general electi
lr of his opponent. We take it for grant
Is that the Times does not mean TO say tn
he :" the Fisher scandal" had the effect
he carrying Pennsylvania for Blaine by S2,C
as plurality, while at the same time this
a some other scandal caused the people

sURRENDERING ais PENSION.

A Man who Said he Thought the Govern
ment had Done Enough for Him.
Washington June IA good looking
well-built man came with the crowd OF
callers at the Pension Office this morn
ing and entered the loom of the First
Deputy Commissioner Mclean. When
his turn for an interview was reached
he asked the deputy to be allowed to
see the Commissioner.
"The Commissioner is busy, sir. If
you wish to see about q claim or to
secure an appointment we can attend to
the matter here"
II want to have my pension stopped"
The Deputy Commissioner looked at
the man, then at his papers, then at the
man again, and finally touched his bell
button and sent message for the
record.
"Have you considered this step suffici.
emily, sir ?" asked the Deputy. "You
are, | see receiving SO 9 month-nearly
81 600 year."
''Yes. have considered 1t. The
Government has done enough for me.
I want to give it up"
Have you an abundance Of means::''
"No. But have enough for comfort"
Swell, guess you had better see the
Commissioner"
Col. Mclean thereupon introduced
he visitor to the Commissioner. After q
everything on the hit or miss, heads or
tail plan? The wear and tear of these
hard-working, rapid youngsters is fear
al. The average business man in New
York takes twenty drinks of whisky
day and smokes fifteen cigars. Nobody
can stand this. The young New Workers
don't stand it. They 60 down in regi-
ments and squares. But, like the Old
Guard, they die, but never surrender. If
q man pulls through it all, he is old at
the age of 40, and retires to take per-
manent rest. One result of this unnatur-
al life is the product of race of pigmies.
New York is famous for its young men
of small stature and light weight. This
comes from excess of all kinds. It is not
so with the young women. The girls
who do not smoke, drink and dissipate
are large and well built, bright-eyed and
rosy-cheeked. They will have to take
