Secretary Manning deserves the thanks of the
travelling community TOR his order, published
to-day, under which returning tourists can have
their baggage sent in bond to any port OF entry.
This action takes away one of the worst plaques
of travel, the customs furry at New York. In
der the new system the traveller from this city,
for instance. can have his baggage. checked on
the steamship and delivened here, where the
examination for dutiable articles VIII be made
by an officer detailed by TIE collector of the
port of Georgetown Thus all annoyance and
delay al the wharfin New York may be avoided.
Two of the greatest discoveries of modern
times In q commercial sense. were those of gold
deposits in California and the coal oil wells OF
PennSyiyania. 1t bears out the tradition,
therefore, which holds that great discoveries
and inventors rarely reap the fruit Of their
labors, that in both of these cases the men who
showed the world its hidden wealth got no ben
eft for themselves. COL Drake, the discoverer
OF oil in Pennsylvania, died some years ago in
penury, and now the news comes of the death

The chief sinner is Colorado, where 100000

does not represent by any means the full ex-
tent OF the evil. 1t is supposed that more than
thirty million acres altogether are subject to
the proclamation, and the land Office will have
these more remote and extensive grabs inves-
tigated soon as possible. Evidently the Of
fee has u big job ON its hands.
The Ottawa government has peremptorily re-
fused To accept James Whalen as United States
consul at Fort Erie, and 1T must be said that a
man who was active IN the Fenian invasion of
1866 is scarcely the one to be rendered an Off
cial position on the Canada border. Mr. Whalen
is a man of good standing in Buffalo, and un-
doubleday his actions twenty years ago had
passed out of mind. But nations have longer
memories. 1t is urged in Mr.. Whalen's behalf
that the animosities of our civil war are fast
being forgotten, and it Is suggested that Eng
EInd can afford to show a similar spirit of am
nesty. But every nation must be u law unto
itself In this matter.

A Story of Enrm Life.


A case that presents q charming picture
of rural life has just been heard and deter
mined by their honors the judges of the su-
prcme court Of the state Of Kansas. The
plaintiff was the father Of numerous fam
lily of children among whom was Matilda
described as girl "of tender years and in
experience Matilda's father hired her
out as a general utility domestic in the fam
lily of the defendant, and the suit was
brought on the ground of overwork and
maltreatment. The plaintiff alleged that
Matilda, the girl Of "tender years." chad
to get up at in the morning, milk from
eight to fourteen cows, carry water up hill
for from twenty to forty head of hogs,
dig potatoes, cook for II family Of eight,
look after several young children, scrub the
floors, and do many other things too nu-
mCrous to mention" In short, "she was
compelled to do the work that two stout
girls had done before"
"God made the country and man made
the town. wrote Cowper, but 1t mustsbe
admitted that there is small evidence Of
divine architecture in such sample Of farm
life as we get in the story Of Matilda. And
yet the most intensely thrilling incident Of
the narrative is to come. The plaintiff, in
his allegations, goes on to relate that Ma
tilda twas at one time, by command Of de-
fendant and his wife, engaged in helping
them corral their hogs, and for that purpose
had caught and was holding by the ears a
large hog, when defendant, In rude, rough,
and angry manner, threw large stone,
which, barely escaping said Tilda's person,
struck said hog on the head and face, or snout,
causing its instant death, and so frightening
said Tilda that she tainted away and suffered
great pain" By reason Of this "the said
Matilda became very lame, sick, sore,
crippled, and disabled, and must remain so
for life." II was not entirely unreasonable
for the father to demand 81 600 for the loss
OF her services and the expense to which he
had been put on account of her alleged in
juhcs
The defendant did not "deny the allega-
cation and defy the alligator" but entered
demurrer that the things charged did not
constitute a COuse of action In favor OF the
plaintiff and against the defendant. Strange
TO tell, the demurrer was sustained by the
district court, and the plaintiff was accord
mgly nonsuited, 1t is pleasure, however,
TO add that the supreme court reverses this
ruling and remands the case for further
proceedings.

girls as well as men and boys, has improved

THE Philadelphia Inquirer, in its issue Of
yesterday, referring to the proposed change
Of rules In the House, says; "This plan is
presented in order to deprive Mr.. Randall
Of the power to interfere with the pro-
jected free trade tariff bill which the Nor
rison-Carlisle clique have in hand, aud
which is to be launched in the House as
soon as Congress gets to work" The plan
is not projected for that purpose, but for a
number Of excellent reasons already given.
But what a position for a friend of pro-
lection to take up We must let one man
run the House or free trade will triumph |
Well, It would be better for free trade, or
almost any other evil, to be triumphant
than to control legislation by the peoples
representatives In the way suggested.

II. Gratz Brown.

The death Of this eminent citizen recalls
the active and aggressive part he took,
under the leadership Of Francis p. Blair,
jr., as an advocate of the principles OF the
Free Soil party in the state OF Missouri from
1850 to 1860.
AS member OF the general assembly Of
the state OF Missouri he was q brilliant and
bold debater. As editor Of the Missouri
Democrat he welded an almost inspired
pen. AS n public speaker he possessed
every element Of leadership, using the
choicest diction to express original thoughts
indicative OF profound political philosophy.
AS an author of mathematical works he held
first rank. AS United States senator he
championed the most radical policies, and
was irritable and sometimes bitter in his
opposition to the conservative tendencies of
President Lincoln.
Senator Brown was the author Of the
charter Of the Atlantic and Pacific railway,
and mainly through his persistent efforts
the passage of the act granting 100000
acres Of land in aid Of its construction was
secured. Upon the expiration Of his sena-
torial term he projected and organized the
Liberal movement in Missouri, which became
successful by an arrangement with the
Democratic press and leaders Of the state
to assume possum policy, while he divided
the Republican strength. He was elected
governor by this coalition, receiving ma
jority of about 10000.
Under his leadership the Liberal policy be-
came national one, the movement result
ing in the nomination Of Greeley and Brown
in 1872 by the Liberals In Cincinnati and the
Democrats in Baltimore. The election of
Grant retired Mr.. Brown to private life,
since which he has devoted his time to the
practice of law and the advocacy of pro-
hibition.
In person Mr.. Brown was Of small stature,
having large head covered with profu-
sion Of red hair which adorned his pale, clas-
steal features. His personal courage was
tested on the "held of honor" in q duel
with ex-Gov. Reynolds, of Missouri. He
was one of the first to respond to the call
for troops in 1861, and was colonel OF a
homeguard and ninety-day regiment, or
ganized by Blair and Lyon, which saved
the st. Louis arsenal with its two hundred
and fifty thousand stand of arms. This did
much, at that early day, to avert disaster
from the Union cause.
Gov. Brown had his faults in llfe-as
which of us has notH Now that he is dead,
peace to his memory and blessing on his
family for the good he did his country in
the most perilous period of its history.

THE publication Of the official CORE
sHondence in the case Of Mr.. Kelley has
added nothing but minor details to the
sum total Of the public's knowledge on
that subject. Austria refused TO receive
Mr.. Kelley because of the nationality of
his wife. True, there was a subsequent
mention Of his refusal by Italy as an addi-
tional reason for Austrla's rejection, but
the main point was the narrow and mean
one Of race prejudice. The opinion Of the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN upon that reason
for declining to receive a minister accred-
tied by our government is too well known
to require repetition here.

If the majority of the House is determined

There are many important matters of a
non-partisan character which Congress

To the end that the House may have time

Hon. BARCLAY HENLEY, of California, in
n brief communication to theNATIoSAL RE-

ments made yesterday in relation to Mr..
Tinnin,' recently appointed surveyor of the
port of San Francisco. Mr.. Henley vouches
for the good character and standing of Mr..
Tipnin in all respects. Without the slight
est disparagement Of Mr.. Henley or any
other person, it is but fair to add that the
statements which he contradicts were made
on authority as good as that Of any member
Of the California delegation in Congress.
