T He BENEFITS OF CIVIL WAR

From General Grants account of
the Chattanooga campaign which is
published in the November CENTURY,
and IS accompanied by explanatory
maps, we take the following: There
was no time during the rebellion when
/ did moi think, and often say. that the
South was more to be benefited by
defeat than the North. The latter had
the people, the institutions, and the
territory to make great and prosper
GUS nation. The former was burdened
with an Institution abhorrent to all
civilized people not brought upunder
it, and one which degraded labor, kept
t in ignorance, and enc rvated the
governing class. With 'he outside
world at war with this institution, they
could not have extended their territory
The labor of the country was not
skilled, nor allowed to become so.
The whites could not toll without be-
coming degraded. and those who did
were denominated poor white trash. :"
The system OF labor would have soon
exhausted the soil and left the people
poor. The non-slaveholders would
have left the country, aud the small
STAKEHOLDER must have sold out to his
more fortunate neighbors. Soon the
slave would have outnuubered the
masters, and not being in sympathy
with them. would have risen in their
might and exterminated them. The
war was expensive to the South as well
as to the North, both in blood and
treasure; but 1t was worth all 1t cost"

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent


WASHINGTON, ID. G., Nov. IL, 's5.
The triumvirate of gentlemen who
were appointed as the board to execnte
the Civil Service law, after most sue.
cessful effort to transform the whole
whole businessinto farce have at last
become tired Of being laughed at.
They have, very reluctantly, sent In
their several designations TO the presi-
dent, who has very unreluctantly &C.
cepted them. Sometime during
November the country is to have
new deal in the Civil Service admins.
tration, because it cannot but be an
improvement upon the present.
The calling In by the Treasury De-
ment of the notes OF small denomina-
tions for the purpose of forcing the
people to accept the unwieldy and
weighty silver dollar, is a species of
official imposition that should he
frowned upon.
The great economical obJector, Mr..
Holman, is destined this winter to go
down, it may be with colors flying but
nevertheless down to that oblivion that
overtakes all who attempt to stand
betwe the Treasury and the hungry
vultures on the remparts. Almost to
man, the consuls, the secretaries of
legation, and all who are connected
with the diplomatic service of the
country, have entered upon a
concerted movement to demand of
Congress such au increase of salary as
comport with the dignity and
Importance of the representatives Of a
mighty nation like ours. When we
think of the enormous salaries paid to
the ministers and the consuls accredit
ed to us from foreign governments, it
does look as if our cheese pairing
economy In salaries might be lntrodue-
el IN some other directions.
An innovation upon the practices
OF our Congressional fathers is the
abolition OF the exhilarating cold tea
which for forty years or eve. since the
advent of Total abstinence, has been
dispensed to Its worshippers in
d1minutive tea cups from the bar in
the basement of the Capitol. What
our grave and revernd Senators will
now do for beverage to take the
place of the stimulating tea, is a
matter Of the gravest conjecture.
A .iustiiable demand to he made
upon the neyt Congress, Is that oi
settlers upon Crow reservation, who
entered upon that reservation IN good
faith uader the Presidents proclama
tl)n that 1t was open for settlement
In pursuance OF another proclamation
issued by another President the sam
settlers have been eJected bag and bag
gage from the reservation, and al tn
work that they have done and all til
mon ey that they have expended il
the acquisition of homes, have gon
for naugnt. These people are about t
ask Congress to De reimbursed for thei
5 less IS, and Congress should no. hesitat
a moment in responding to thel
appeals. Dom PEDRO.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

ture OF $35o,ooo, 900 in railroad con-
struction, and IN the five years ended
Dec. 81, 1883. over forty thousand
miles OF new road was built, involving
a cash outlay of at least I,aoo, ,ooo,-
600, or an average Of $a4o, ,ooo, 900,
per year. Last year only about $780,
100000 was thus expended, and IN
the reaction from the period of unusu-
al activity it is estimated that fully
100000 persons was thown out of
employment in this line alone. Busi-
ness depression was inevitable, and
the inevitable has been fully realized.
But the worst seems to be now past,
1t is true there are some drawbacks
st,ll remaining in the uncertainties as
to congressional action on the coin
age question, in the decentralization
caused by freight rate cutting, and in
the almost desperate condition of the
coal trade. To Offset this there are
enormous maturing crops in all sec
tions OF the country, and business IS
already feeling their impetus. Rail
road construction is again reviving,
and under this stimulus an improve
ment in the iron industry has set in
with suddenness which is something
remarkable. At the close of last
month the outlook was regarded as
SIMPLY encouraging, but nothing more,
and leading authorities, while profess
ing to be hopeful, maintained that
there were mo special indications of
change either for better or worse -
Even SO late as August 2ad the Cleve-
land rolling mills announced that there
had never been time since their
organization swhen business was so
slack as at present" We have no
orders upon our books and the pros
pect for running grows steadily less

Within ten days all this is changed.

nearly one.third of the organ-and,

the only successful operation of the
kind ever performed The disease for
which this operation was performed
was cancer of the stomach, attended with
