DECEyCY AND THE DOLPHIN.

Now that the Dolphin has entirely met the re-
mirements of the contract so that the goou
fai,b and the ability of the builder can no

ment which he has received from some Journals

Journals have done everything in their power
70 destroy the business reputation and charac-
ter for honesty of Mr.. John Roach. le'' MI
Roach has done vast deal OF work TOT corpora
tions and individuals, as the business worln wen
knows That il has been well done, the busi-
ness world also well knows. Many OF the best
ships afoat were placed in the water by MIR.
Roach. Neither on this side Of the water nor IN
Europe is there a builder who has on the whole
better reputation for skill, thoroughness, ana
good faith than this same Mr.. Roach. In all
the work that he has done for other parties than
the Government, there has been no complaint
of dissatisfaction, and if any fact can be SAID TO
be finally established by experience, 1t Is so
established that the vessels built by Dir. Roach
have been more honestly and thoroughly built
and have proved moro satisfactory, than the
ships built by the Government itself at Its own
yards.
The journals which give TO such mannfact-
urer the treatment which has been described
have simply disgraced themselves. Their con-
duct tends TO bring all journalism into disre-
pute. They give foundation for the common
sheer that it is not worth while 10 mind any
thing one sees in the newspapers" IL all
journals were conducted in such a fashion rs
these, it would be the height of folly to regard
statements by them "a worthy of notice. The
pretence that Mr.. Roach has desired To dcfraud
the Government has been from the first wholly
unwarranted The journalists who have acted
upon a presumption so unreasonable have done
more harm to themselves than to the builder,
whose finished works show his skill and fidelity.

TgE LESSON or TODAY.

The annual conservation Of day To the deco
ration of the graves OF the heroic defenders oil
the Republic is spectacle unprecedented IN
the annals of other nations. The custom orIgi-
mated at Arlington in 1862. and has since be-
come one of National importance. OF late
however. it has lost much of its early slguiii-
canoe. In twenty years any cause is likely to
grow old and halt and that fate has. in a
measure. overtaken the purpose of these
obseryances. But to-day many who
90 out 10 salute the patriotic dead will re-
call with unusually keen emotion the real
significance of the occasion.
Politicians may forget it, butitis not so easy for
soldier to DO so, especially if his experience
was at Richmond rs prisoner under Deputy
Provost Marshal Higgins, or under some equally
cruel Confederate, who may now be drawing a
large salary from the Government he sought to
destroy. But no soldier or other citizen cher
ishes anything except kindly feelings toward
the South Sectional discord has been ex-
tingushed, but time cannot turn falsehood into
truth althou IN some recent performances at
Washington would seem 10 indicate belief
there that such a change has taken place
Hence il is peculiarly appropriate to-
day to look back with cool second thought upon
that terrible struggle and consider what led to 1t,
what il gave to us, what that gift cost. and
how we can keep possession of it. The way to
do that Is not to place in Office men like Kelley,
who publicly assert their belief that the Gov
eminent of tins country is founded on n base
and bloody usurpation of public rights "
committed by the dead heroes whose graves
we honor to-day.
In the language Of General Grant, the Nation
will never apologize for the deeds done in
1S61-'G5, but will treasure up the memory of
its dead soldiers, and on every suitable occa-
sion will present them anew to the youth of
this country as noble examples OF heroism and
patriotism. And this is peculiarly appro-
pirate time for impressing that lesson upon the
rising generation.

ANGEROUS INnOUITLES.

There is rutlian in this city who has been
arrested eighteen times during the past two
years. on charges of beating, assaulting and
robbing women. This scOundrel keeps low
dive and boasts of his political influence. He
mas ESCAPED so often that he does not fear
Justice at all, and has openly boosted that he
has too strong "pull -" TO be punished A
more fragrant case of maladministration in that
particular line than this last constitutes it
would be hard to find ; yet thus far 1t docs not
seem to have occasioned even twinge OF con-
science to those who are responsible for the
shameful license with which this brute pursues
his favorite recreation OF woman beating.
When a man has no "nhuence" in New York
he is apt to find justice sharp enough. Instance
the case of the man who ha just received q
sentence of five years in the penitentary for
stealing a scarf-pin worth one collar. 1t is
plain that this thief had no political friends
and no money. If he had stolen million or
two he would have been in no danger of going
to the penitenti ary. In that case, the worst he
would have to fear would be confinement in
Ludlow Street Jail, where his stolen money
would procure him every comfort and luxury
and where he could remain until the able
LAWYERS hired with more of the plumber juggled
him out of the feeble grasp of the law and set
him free to enjoy the fruits of his dishonesty
for the rest of his knavish life.
Or he could 90 to Canada, after running hun
dreds of families, causing suicides and madness
and all the direst miseries of civilized life, and
there he could live in lordly style, and snap
his fingers at the people he had robbed and
swindled. There are too many specific in
stances of the truth of this for any serious
denial to be attempted. A man can, as the
facts prove, escape the penalties of the most
infamous crime, either by possessing political
influence in his ward or by possessing a
quantity of money. which he has stolen.
In the latter case. he is allowed to use
the stolen money to defeat justice, and
nine times out of ten he succeeds in
doing this. A savage rutiian may thus be a
terror to the most defenccless portion of his
neighborhood for years. and all the nrctection

claim, have decided advantage at the present
rate of wages and have thus been able to put down
prices SO far that many Western establishments
have been Obliged to close. The contest has an
other phase however. This branch OF production
has PROFESSIONALLY been expanded more than the
circumstances warrant; the productive capacity Oh
nail works now in existence much exceeds the con-
sumption of tho country at any time. 1t is there
fore fair question whether the continuance OF ex-
cessive production in this particular branch should
be encouraged.

IROy AND STEEL NAILVAKERS


The decision of the iron nail manufacturers not
TO continue work at the scale of wages that
was adopted last year. is expected to canse "A pro-
longed strike in that branch Of industry at the
West. Tho manufacturers have much 10 DIS
hearten them. Nails have recently been selling for
four months in succession at ~ 10 wholesale At
Philadelphia and the average there last month was
only ~ 80. But at this time last year. when the
rate of wages with much reluctance adopted,
the price was 81 60, moro than IL per cent higher
and il was then supposed that the bottom had been
reached after long decline. and that recovery to
the old prices would quickly follow Instead, the
manufacture of steel nails has developed with
wonderful Iapidity, and new works for that manu-
facture have quito recently been put into operation.
The recent advance in price has encouraged many
to change from the iron to the steel mani iacture
and il is doubtful whether recovery of the prices
formerly customary can ever be expected.
Much will now depend upon the decision of the
manufacturers of steel nails who did not at first
on in the decision 10 reject this old scale of wages.
If they also insist upon reduction, there ID
likely TO be a prolonged suspension unless the men
consent, whereas difference between the two
branches Of tho manufacture would be apt to
render the contest brief one. The Western nail
makers arc all in one boat. as 10 competition
with the manufacturers at the East, who. they
