SECRETARY Whitney has received
much credit says the N. Y. Sun, for
the part taken by him in the brief but
decisive campaign of our naval forces
on the Isthmus. The marines, how
ever may well esteem the order which
sent them home even more judicious
and praiseworthy than the one that had
despatched them south. Since their
return the Isthmus has been ravaged
by fever. AT Aspinwall alone the
deaths have been forty q day, and
many persons have persisted who had
outlived former epldemics. A little
less promptness, little uncertainty
or yielding to the desire to make q
uselessly prolonged display Of author
ity. and our marines might have been
moved down by disease more mercil-
essly than battle could have wasted
them.
THE VITAL statistics of the last
census, which has just been issued for
the year 1880, the number of deaths
is given at 756,S93, including white,
African descent. Indian, Chinese and
Japanese The annual death rate on
the sggre gate population. according
to the figures, would be Is in 1000.
The proportion of deaths among the
white race would be IA Il in 1000,
and Of the blacks, 1928. But the
compiler estimates that as regards the
returns from the country the number
Of deaths given is 10 to 80 per can't
too low.
The white male annual death rate
is 1886 in l 900, and the death rate
Of the females is 14.SI. The excess
of white males over females is sSl, :
S57, in total population Of 4S, l02,-
gro.
There was an excess of deaths Of
cOlored females to males, in the pro-
portion Of 1917 TO 1000. The pro-
portion Of males to females in the
population was the reverse Of what
is stated of the whites. the excess Of
females being 1865. The proper
ton Of deaths, also, in the two sexes
Of colored people is different, g APP
pears BY the figures.

THE explorers 10 the Congo Valley

THE explorers 10 the Congo Valley
are surprised by the crudity of life
there. The natives have no domes-
ticated beasts of any sort, nor do
they raise or cacth any animals to eat.
as they know nothing of flesh as
food. No semblance of clothing is
worn, and diet is practically confined
to spontaneous products of the soil.
Letters from missionaries say, too,
that the negroes there are SO low in
mentality that any hope of Christian
ling them must be based on a long
and patient course of intellectual
training. They are too densely ignor-
ant to comprehend the simplest state
ments of doctrine.

Now THAT natural gas is being in
troduced into Pittsburg houses for
fuel, an equitable method Of charging
for it is sought. Measurement seems
to be impracticable. and thus far the
usage has been to fix the price for
each building as nearly as possible
the same as the cost of other fuel has
been. This gives rise to great
amount of bargaining and dissatis-
faction.

The cyclone which knocked off the
chimneys, tore off the roofs. and top
pied over the steeples of Charleston a
few days ago went roaring on up the
western side of the Atlantic, and
many vessels must have felt its pow
or at sea. On the day following, survi-
vors from a wrecked schooner were
brought by steamship into Boston
harbor, aud it will be surprising If we
do not hear Of more wrecks being en-
countered. And the great September
gales, which have furnished SO many
thrilling stories to open the eyes Of
land lubbers, are yet to come.

TnEsE are dog days at .he summer

THESE are dog days at the summer
resorts. The pets of the fashionable
women this season are canine. For
merly the hotel keepers would not
admit dogs on any terms, but the
rage for them has grown suddenly
into such proportions that the land
lords have deemed it wise to back
down. And it is not only so at the
sumner resorts, but also at their
homes, on the street, and in the pub
lie places is this disgusting spectacle
to be seen.

IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS.


LONDON, July 15-In the House of Lords
this evening, Lord Ashbourne presented
the Irish land purchase bill. The bill pro-
vides for the advance of three-fOurths of
the purchase money ut four per cent in
terest for fOrty-nine years. Where needed
the whole money will be advanced on con
ditinos which, while just and generous,
will not expose the government to risk Of
loss. 1t is therefore proposed in such
cases to retain deposit of one-fifth of the
the purchase money at moderate interest
until the tenant has repaid by installments
an equal sum, also to utilize the Irish
church surplus to guarantee the state
from ultimate loss, but only after the for
fixture of the One-fifth is retained. Re
plying to questions Lord Ashbourne said
the government proposed to limit the
amount of money to be advanced to five
million pounds. The church surplus is
estimated at 10000 pounds. The bill
passed its first reading.

LONDON, July 11.-Mr. Parnell moved
this afternoon in the House of Commons
that the government order II special in
quiry into the Maamtrasna murder cases.
Mr.. parnell made Il long speech in sup
port of his motion. He dwelt on the NAL
administration of the criminal law in Ire
land under Earl Spencer, whereby inno-
cent persons had been III some cases con
demned and executed and in other cases
had been sentenced either to long or life
long terms of penal serVitude. He moved
therefore that in the opinion of the House
it was the duty of the government to in
stitutc Il strict inquiry into the Mann
trasna, the Barbavilla, the Cross Maglen
and the Castle Island murder cases. In
speaking of Crown Solicitor Bottoms
course in the cHscs Mr.. Palnell said ~
believe that if ever Il murderer deserved to
be placed on trial and sentenced to death
that man was Bolton William Joseph
COrDett, home rule member for Wicklow
county, seconded the motion made by Mr.
Parnell and said he hoped that the govern
ment would take Il lesson from their pre-
deCessOrs, "whOm the Parnellte vote de
prved of Office
Sir Michael Hicks Beach said that the
government had nothing to say concern
ing the merits of the case and nothing to
say in defense of the late government. He
was, however, authorized by the Earl of
Carnarvon, present lord lieutenant of Ire
/ land, to state that the present Irish eNecu-
tive will make personal inquiry into
the subject submitted by Mr.. Parnell for
investigation but must add that the gov
eminent felt themselves compelled to ask
the House to resist Mr. Parncll's motion,
which was derogatory Of Earl Spencer, a
member of the late government.
Mr. Parnells motion was negatived
without Il division.

HOW 1T AFFECTS CHESTER.
The Roach Failure Casts Gloom Over IA
Pennsylvania Town.

CHESTER, Pa, July l9.-The news of the
failure Of John Roach caused considera-
Bile excitement here where his solvency
had never been questioned. Up to within
n year ago his weekly pay roll was never
less than $1,000, distributed among 1900
men and boys. Now the pay roll is little
over $1,000, but this will be reduced to-
morrow for it is the intention of the firm
to lay OIL about 400 men in the morning,
They will be paid all that is owing them,
Only enough wOrkmen will be kept to fin
ish the ship Comal lying in the New, ,Jer-
sey channel The ship yard is separate
corporation and was not included in the
assignment. The yard will be affected,
however, and as Mr., Roach is large
stakeholder in the Chester Rolling Mills
blast furnace and combination iron and
Steel company located here, it is difficult to
foretell the result on these places, each
of which employs Il great many men.
Work on the cruisers Boston and Chicago
and the monitor Puritan will virtually
be suspended and the heretofore busy
yard will present a deserted and dull
look None but the kindeSt and most
sympathetic expressions are heard for Mr.
Roach and the hope is expressed that he
will come through all right. As the city
depends largely ON the ship yard anC
other enterprises in which Mr., Roach is
interested the outlook for the coming win
ter is very gloomy and idleness and pow
erty stare many i'll the face.

What They say of Us in New York.


A special illustrated number of the Bur
lington FREE PRESS presents the more
prominent attractions of that lovely "Col-
lege town." including its fine public and
private buildings. Burlington is especial
ly fortunate in her SONS, two of whom,
Senator Edmunds and Minister Phelps,
are known and honored ON both sides of
the Atlantic Another eminent son of
Burlington, Frederick Billings, deserves
to be forever honored for the pertinacty
and pluck with which he saved the great
Northern Pacific railroad enterprise from
collapse through the failure of jay Cooke,
and his fidelity to the public and honest
private interests during and after the I'M
fortunate Willard management. The
Billings Library is one of the most no.
table architectural features of lovely Bur
lingtOn, and is only one of many eviden.
ces of the liberaity of Mr. Billings, who
has retired from active business pursuits
while in the prime of Il vigorous manhood
and takes his greatest pleasure in pro
noting public and general interests. Such
men are among the real 'nObilty'' of our
democratic country.
