THE National Civil Service Reform
League has sent out q circular saying that
this is q peculiarly OppOrtuns time tor
prosecuting the work Of organizing non
partisan reform associations among those
in al parts of the country who believe in
the application of business methods to
public affairs"
That means the destruction Of parties
and the running Of the affairs of govern
ment on 90 called business methods.
But the facts of history speak palmer on
this question than theory or sgument.
Through the past, great principles have
been promulgated and the affairs Of govern
ment have been successfully run only
through gr5st political parties. In the
few instances in which government has
been run en- business method" it has
almost been run into the ground. VIII
LIAM N. TWEED applied business methods
to government affairs and everybody
knows the result.
The country is getting along very well
under the present regime. The Reform
League had better seek their Utopia else
where.

The organization of great Poultry AS
socistion in our city Yesterday, composed
of delegates from more than Fifty cities,
towns and districts in the country, and
the determination to have grand poultry
display some time during the coming win
ter, was q very timely move. Such an
organization will be beneficial in many re-
spects, but the aubject that should demand
especial attention now is the rearing Of
mammoth Democratic rooslers Of splendid
plumags and slentorian voice. Such
roosters are in great demand now and
will likely be for years to come The or
gauization should be encouraged.

The REGISTER q few months ago in
commenting upon the "tin craze" in some
of the southern counties of the State
sounded q note Of warning to the people.
Men 10 general ike to be told that great
wealth is just within their grasp, Though
the alchemists, ss in former times, do not
now travel the country and play upon
mems creduhty BY claiming to trsnsmute
the baser metals into gold, yet 9 class of
the same stripe as the old slchemists still
ply their trade with profit.
The Virginss, 9 scientific journal pub
ished at Stanton, has been paying con-
siderable attention to the reports given BY
some Of the newspapers in those sections
and has been investigating the matter and
from what it says, it seems very probable
that some parties have been playing lit.
lie game upon the people.
The Virginiss says:
We iniims,sd as much before from our
general knoSiedge OF TN deposits and the
geological formations in which they have
always been found, but nov We have proof
beyond question, that the whole thing ia
put mp job" When at the National
Museum, Washington. d. c., q few days
ago, We were shown by DR.. Fred. P. Dew.

hetallurgy Of that institution, an accurate
analyst q massive sample Of calesreous

Mrs. Sol. Hillen, of Baltimore, has re.
ceiyed the news of the death of her aunt,

years past been residing in Paris, where

fersop, and enc of the foremost statesmen
and diplomatists of his time. She was 9
daughter Of the late Louis Psscault, Of
Baltimore and the survivor of his three
daughters, al remarkable for their
beauty and Accomplishments. The Oldest,
Hester, married the Baron Rewbel, who
came to Baltimore with Jerome Bonspsrte,
afterwards King Of Westpaalis, and died
in Paris many years ago The second
daughter was the wife Of General Colum-
bus D Donneu, of Baltimore. Mrs Gala
riu was the youngest of the three, and her
death at the advanced age Of SO breaks
another of the links connecting our own
times with the earliest days of the repub-
lie. Although residing in Europe for
May years past, Mrs. Gallatin retained
the hyeIest interest in her own country,
and to the last kept up an active cores
pondence with her many relatives and
friends in the United States.

some proper end may be put to this new
stin saindls" and to All the parties that
have been engaged in Sailing" the 80
called mines, the smelling furnace and
those Who have in snv way taken stock
in the bogus concern. This State is rich
in genuine mineral wealth needing deyel-
opment, and-puttiDg il on higher plane
il cannot afford TO acquire the reputation
Of originating or even of hArboring such
swindhpg mining schemes,
We sent the above to Prof. i. 9 White
for comment; he replies from columbus,
Ohio, where he has been with Prot. orion
REVERSING the coal measures OF that State:
Il have Jour slip and at tie same time q
letter from Prof Sesmon. of the Miller
Manual Labor School, to whom | had sent
two weeks ago specimens of the tin and
alleged Tin ore for analysis. | enclose
you his letter, from which you viii see be

of the ore. / got these from 9 reputable
man IN LOUISA WIZ ocooIOO AO AAS S-S -.
from the Mason county mines. | still
think il q fraud Of the first water.
Prof W. b. Sesmon, Of the Miller
School, Crozst, Va, replied as follows to
Prof White
The metal sent me is mainly pure tin
and contains in addition thereto zinc and
lead. As made no qusn,iriye analysis, l
can only state that my belief IS that the
greater portion Of the metal is tin. The
sample Of ore was carefully ssssyed and
no metal was obtained. l am inclined to
believe that there ia some trickery about
that whole affair; the reputsd ore IL lime
stone and quartz pebbles cemented most
likely By lime. ! made two assays and
did not get q trace of metal. Another
thing, their ore is too rich according to
their statsments). The Cornwall ores con.
tain only from ! to 2 lbs. Of tin per 100
lbs. OF ore"
These opinions are worthy Of careful

IT is reported on good authority about
Washington that some Of the Republican
Senators, moved by the appeals Ofex-sse'
rotary CHANDLER, will make Mr.. ROACH an
issue in the coming session of the United

A threat of this kind ought not 10 give
Secretary Whitney any uneasiness. The

ter will only hrvs the effect Of showing the
people he has done bis duty IS an official.
Should al the facts concerning this matter
