administration than as an ordinary
failure in business. 1t is not to be set
down to the account of general business
depression, although it appears that the
principal part of the work in progress
at his shipyard was that on vessels for
the navy. In view of the opinion
which Acknowledgement Garland has
given to the secretary of the navy re-
garding the validity of the contracts
made with Mr.. Roach, this move is not
surprising. If his contracts are worth
less, he is not to be blamed for refusing
to continue working under them.
Whether or not the attorney-general's
opinion will be sustained by the courts,
it is quite clear that the secretary of the
navy would govern himself by it until
the issues are adjudicated, and perhaps
there is no way more certain to force
the issues in controversy to prompt
consideration and settlement by the
highest authority than the course Mr..
Roach has taken, and no other way
open to him so just to his bonds
men and other creditors. The matters
in controversy are so involved with
political prejudices and passions that
the public judgment upon the legal
rights involved is not worth much. In
the calm air of the United States courts
the merits of the case will be sifted,
and it is to be hoped that one result
will be such a clear and authoritative
declaration of the limits of the discre-
ton of the executive departments in
making contracts that no official will
have excuse for going astray in the
future, whatever may have happened
in the past"

Mr.. Blaine arrived in Cincinnati the Logan
combination appeared. No one met them
at the depot, and Logan became angry at
what he construed as the slight. But his
wrath knew no bounds when he called on
his colleague. Mr.. Blaine paid no attention
to his arrival in the room, went on talking
with others, and only after some time had
passed relieved Logan from the embarrass-
ment OF waiting to be received. Logan de-
clared at the time he would never 90 near
Blaine again while the campaign lasted and
/ believe he kept his word In the early
winter, when Logan returned, reception
was given him at which Mr.. Blaine did not
deign to appear, and in private conversation,
before he left to enter the senatorial fight,
Logan is reported to have repeatedly said
that with any other man than Blaine as the
candidate the republicans would have won.
The old ticket will have no bitterer oppo-
nent next time than the gentleman who oc-
cupied the second place on it. AS the stu
alton now stands, his senatorship being
saved out of the wreck, he is not particu-
larly unhappy over the result"

THE week has been quite unevent-
full at Mt. McGregor. On Monday
General Grant was wheeled in his chair
to the crest of the mountain, and half
an hour later returned to his room
rather exhausted. He rapidly recovered,
however, and resumed his place on the
piazza. He retired at the usual time
and was soon asleep with scarcely any
aid from the use of morphine. He has
complained of inactivity, and expressed
desire for something to do. An in
cident of the week has been the visit

brigadier captured by Grant and his
classmate at West Point

With this issue of THE WATCHMAN
is severed what has been to the pub
Usher and his associates during the past
three years and more an exceedingly
agreeable companionship. The number
and plain sincerity of the expressions
of approval, appreciation and goodwill,
which from time to time have come to
us, do not permit us to doubt that regret
at the divergence of the courses at this
time is not confined to the retiring
management Nor do other and less
amiable expressions, from other sources,

JOHN ROACH, the builder of the Dol

consequence of the rejection of the YES
sci by the government and the practi-
cal annulling of his contracts for the
three vessels under construction. The
Boston advertiser makes a plain and
reasonable statement of Mr.. Roach's
case; " We suspect that the assign
ment of his property by John Roach,
the shipbuilder, must be regarded
rather as precautionary move in the
controversy between himself and the

A Portland man who had commonly
misprOnounced the name of Mrs.
HemanS by giving the ''e" long SCUM
attempted to find out from several of
his acquaintance if they had fallen into
the same error. Not wishing to give &
clew to the point in question, he asked
casually, as if for information:
who is the author of The Breaking
Waves Dashed High"
The answer promptly given was,
"MrS. Sigourney."
The same day he asked another friend
the same question:
"Who is the author of The Breaking
Waves Dashed Hight"
Leigh Hunt "
He persevered in this method and
anxiously inquired from still another:
"Who is the author of The Breaking
Waves Dashed Hight"
This one had no doubt whatever, and
boldly replied, Julia Ward Howe"
The next time the question was asked
it was asked in this form, "How do you
pronounce 'H-e-m-a-n-sG"

The Family at the Bar.

Speaking of lunch and dining saloons,
there are some things here, common Gus
toms, that shock the American idea Of
propriety. To begin with, the custom
of women entering saloons at all hours
of the day, slipping up to the bars and
calling for brandy and water, or what.
ever liquors they fancy. And these are
not of the lower order by any means.
On the contrary, many Of them are the
wives of respectable merchants, and
dressed elegantly.
In the evening, when the theatres are
out, every gin-palace within several
blocks is rowded with men, women,
and children Just from the theatre. The
whole family enter and call for spirits,
and thus set a terrible example TO the
children accompanying them. At the
bars at all hours OF the day and even
ing there are as many female customers
as male, and there is no affectation or
nonsense about it, They don't drink
from wines glasses, but take their meas
ured gill the same as men, and take it
mate at that. They can get water at
home. The consumption Of spirits in
England Is appalling, and yet there is
little public drunkenness.

No such thing as spurious reputa.

Before our cruel war VIC were only Demo.

Democrats, and the secessionists. OF Mont

could, Crossed the Potomac, the Union Dem.
ocrats voted with the Republicans, and the
neutral or conservative Democrats were not
allowed 10 vote; they we're disfranchised
by the Republicans, and they have not for

ment. The Republicans had everything
their own way, the Democracy being dis
franchised.
They gave Us a new constitution in 1854,
which practically disfranohised all conser-
vative Democrats, as administered by that
party. 1t provided for the registration Of all
voters; before that we had no registration.
rbe next Legislature gave us law for that
purpose. In a. certain section OF the bill
the registration officers were required " ask
certain questions of those applying for reg

prevent conservative Democrat from reg
istering.

In Memoriam.

Suddenly, at the home Of her husband,
Mr.. Henry Molly, near Silver Spring, Mont
gomery county, Md, on Wednesday, the 9Th
OF August, 1895, ELIZABETH NJ. NoLTY fell
asleep in Jesus.
The deceased was the daughter of the
late John G.. Fider (of blessed memory and
Margaret, his wife, was born 2lth of April,
A. d., 1857, was baptized in infancy, con.
frmed 25th Of November, 1872, married
14th Of December, A. d., 1881.
In all the relations of life, as daughter,
sister, wife, mother and neighbor, Of few
women may it be said as truthfully that she
was e-eminently faithful While the loss
TO us who loved her is very great, yet with
her to die was gain. Her life of simple
chld-like trust and obedience in Jesus who
bought her with his blessed blood, was one
which may God in mercy enable us TO imi-
tate. By the side of her kindred in Grace
church yard she sleeps sweetly the sleep of
the just. May she and hers all wake to a
joyful resurrection j. B. A.
