A CORRESPONDENT of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, writing from Long Branch, reveals the
effect Mr.. Roach's failure had upon moneyed
men there. He writes:
''John Roachs failure struck some consterna-
ton into the great assemblage of New Workers
and Pennsylvanians at Long Branch last
Sunday morning The stock market had been
up during the latter part Of the previous week,
and Chauncey M. Depew and others were feel
ing hopeful, if not hilarious. The failure of
Roach, closely following upon the with
drawals of all the subsidies from the existing
steamship lines, seemed to be the funeral of
Our maritime interests, which during the last
campaign everybody seemed to favor. Mr..
Depew said to me- 'Roachs failure is attrib-
utable to the action Of President Clevelands
Cabinet. Their work destroyed his credit, and
ship-building is matter largely involving
credit, and this failure will be felt in great
variety of fields of production and Of trades,
because ship requires ore, metal, coal, labor,
and everything within the range Of manufac-
lures. If he has loss of $1,000, 900 by clos
ing up his yard and business, you may depend
upon it that at least five times that amount is
involved in other departments Of business ac-
cessory to his yard. | have been slightly as
ISOLATED with poor Gorringe, who started a
and know how much credit is required in a
ship building business
Talking with business man from Philadel-
phia he said: That is fierce blow to our
ship-yards all along the river, and, indeed
throughout the country. 1t discourages
them and makes it difficult for those remain
ing to get financial backing for any enter
prises they undertake."
Mr.. Charles Cramp, one of the Cramp
Brothers who have the large ship-yard at
Kensington, on the Delaware, and who are
not friendly wi til Mr.. Roach, said to the cor
respondent:
''Roach and have not beer friendly, but
| pity him, and the failure will have political
consequences, no doubt. | do not indorse all
the methods Of Mr.. Roach, but he has been
our boldest and most perseyering ship-builder.
No man in the trade ever took the risks he did.
Indeed, he was the greatest reviver of ship
building in the country, because you will find
his work IN that portion of our maritime sys
tenn not only in the American navy, but in
the foreign and cOastwise companies. For in
stance, he built the great steamer Pilgrim,
running between New York and Fall River,
probably the most perfect boat ever con-
structed in the world for inlet navigation. In
nearly all the steamers he built he took line
of stocks, thereby pledging himself to the sue
cess of these enterprises for his work. because
he took these risks
The failure of John Roach & Son is q COM
mercial disaster whose magnitude can hardly
be estimated. That it is blow at American
maritime interests cannot be disguised Mr.
Roach, by his energy and pluck, did much
toward building up the shipbuilding trade of
the country, and it is national loss that he
should for any reason be driven out Of bust
ness.

THE Philadelphia Times, Democratic,
thinks Postmaster Jones is probably living up
to the exact civil-service idea in selecting the
one Democrat out of every four applicants for
position, as by so doing he may equally divide
his force as to party allegiance which is the
proper thing. The Times is mistaken. Post
master Jones announces his intention Of
making clean sweep-and what has the
Times got to say about that9

COULDN'T some mugwump be prevailed
upon to demonstrate against the injustice of
keeping Mr.. Kelley on a salary? He has never
done minutes duty, and is destined never to
do any in the capacity to which the President
attempted to assign him. A sinecure of that
description would be very, very sinful in a
Republican administration In failing to dis
countenance this cheap swindle, the New
York mugwumps are not earning their salary.

Boston, July 24.-The body of q woman was
found in the bay last night, that had been So
curely sewed up in a sack The legs, arms and
head had been served from the body and
placed in the sack. The autopsy of
the medical examiners was completed this
afternoon, and showed very clearly that the
woman was stranged and then cut up after
death. The corpse was evidently laid upon its
face and the remains were then chopped With

THE gentlemanly mugwumps of this city
would like to have it appear that the fun en-
joyed at their expense by Republicans and
others, is because nobody is in sympathy with
their lofty ambition relative to the betterment
of the public service. On the contrary, there
ere hundreds of thousands of Republicans
who would like to see the civil service rules
rigidly and honorably adhered to.
But the absurdity of expecting Democ,
racy to respect them is too grotesque
to be anything else than funny. Hence the
audible smile that went over this community
when it was made known that the four young
men who imagine that they have the custody
Washington and seriously proposed to effect a
change in the Presidents action, and in di-
rect opposition to the known wishes of
Thomas a. Hendricks 1t was as pre-
sumptuous a piece of impudence as
ever was seriously perpetrated. The
mugwunlps of Indiana, though not of wide
fame, are very respectable quartette Of gen
tlemen, both in their own and in public es-
TEEN, so far as is known. But this hardly
warrants them in attempting to run a Nation
embracing few more men as honorable and
probably as patriotic as themselves. Repub-
licans are not delighted over the way faithful
and efficient employees have been dismissed.
They are of opinion that Postmaster Jones
has worked harm to worthy men
and women and has cast contempt upon
the civilservice rules. But Republicans did
not expect anything else. A year ago they
knew that Democracy was Democracy, and,
as a most distinguished mugwunp put it,
Every hungry and very thirsty" They knew
that Democratic victory meant clean
sweep, and are not surprised now to see the
old Democratic idea obtain. The only anus
ing thing about it all is that few
men who talked themselves hoarse and their
audiences tired in behalf of Democracy and
''reform" should get weary of both so soon.
DuL One-SlXleentl OF the tll0e 1Or which the
Democratic administration was chosen has
expired, and they are very unhappy, and
recklessly fling themselves right in tine way of
the Democratic machine. AS they went
through it it never slipped cog nor gave any
indication of their passage. The machine is
set for larger material. Nobody would have
known of their going through but for theirpub-
LEGATION Of the same. Here is where the fun
comes in. They attempted to break the machine
and were pulverized in the attempt. Democ-
racy will go right on ''hogging the persim-
mons, and no one can say them nay until the
year of grace 1888. And even then the voice
of the mugwump will be as the piping of a
pewee in cyclone. The Republicans who
laugh to-day at the Intellectual cutlery of the
mugwump will then link hands with one an
other to Gust this party, and to introduce a
better order of things. The vote Of the mug
wump will come handy then, but it is hoped
that he will meanwhile acquire wisdom, and
not put his trust in that party that never kept
its pledges, and never sincerely favored the
good of the Nation that did not consider first
the good Of the Democratic party.

THE increase in crimes of violence dur

suicides there were 1897 this year, COM
pared with $40 the previous year. The
number OF executions has been Ill
against 105 last year, very small In

has been so large. But this is accounted
for in some degree when it is known that
