Timely Remarks About the Bloody Shirt.

Timely Remarks About the Bloody Shirt.
New York Tribune.
The Democrats. who as party rebelled
against the government of the United States be-
cause Abraham Lincoln was elected President,
are disturbed about the temperance of ap-
partition which they call the bloody shirt" The
conspirators who murdered Caesar were troubled
we are told. in similar way No one who has
done wrong since Adam ever liked to be re-
minded of his wrong doing.
The Democrats admit the facts but enter the
defense that they occurred some time ago. They
plead the statue of Limitations But do all
crimes cease to be crimes after two decades9
The Democratic rebellion was not for a few
years, or for twenty years. wrong hut. as Gar
field said 'everlastinglv wrong" The killing of
Judge Chisolm and his children was barbarous,
beastly murder seven years ago, and will be
seventy years hence. and very live issue
is whether the vote of an unpunished Missis
sppi murderer or rebel shall equal in national
affairs the votes of two New York or Ohio
Unionlsts. So long as the ballots of the tri-
umphant friends of the Republic count less than
the ballots of its bafled enemies. this issue will
be agitated. So long negroes votes are count
ed for representation in the Electoral College
and Congress, and not counted at the polls, just
so long will loyal press and people cry out
against such injustice

AN INFAMOUS moNOPoLY.

According to the Buffalo Lubricating
Oil Company, the Standard OIL Com
pany is Infamous in more ways than in
being soulless monopoly. The former
charges that the Standard conspired TO
burn and blow up the Buffalo works /;
that they hired witnesses to commit
perjury; that they caused discrimina-
ton in freight rates, compelling the
Buffalo concern to pay excessive rates
! and that in various ways they slandered
the goods and reputation OF the rival
and injured its business. Several in
dictments have been found against
prominent officers of the Standard Com
pany, charging criminal conspiracy,
the Buffalo company furnishing the evil
dence on which the presentments were
based. The latter company processes
ability to prove that they have been per
secuted ever since they were established
four years ago. On one occasion their
works exploded, causing the destruction
of $50 barrels of oil, and the company
a lege that they have the confession of
a man that he was hired by the Stand
ard Company to cause the explosion. !
The Standard has won for itself a /
most infamous reputation for stopping
at nothing to crush anything like OPP
position TO the monopoly: but it has
never before been accused of resorting
10 the methods of the dynamiter. The
trials, which are to take place next !
month, are expected to reveal good

MASSES FOB THE DEAD.

a couple of years ago there was a
rather spirited discussion in the news
papers over q peculiar trust held by one
Henry McArdle, of New York. In Sep
TENDER, 1882, an aged and infrn woman
named Margaret Gilman, gave to Nc
Ardle sum of money with instructions
70 retain it until after the death of her
sefsnd her husband when he was to pay
the funeral expenses and erect men
ument over the grave, and 70 expend
the remainder OF the money in masses
for the lepoSe of their souls. The
woman and her husband died soon
thereafter, the husband dying last;
whereuPon the administrator of Gilman
brought suit against McArdle for the
recovery of the money on the ground
that the attempted disposition of the
same By the wife was void. In 1888 the
case was tried before the Supreme Court
In New York City, when Judge Free
man wrote an elaborate opinion, hold
ing first that the trust was void for
want Of a competent beneficiary, the
souls Of the deceased man and wife
being the benefclaries; and second,
that it was a mere deposit of money in
the hands of the defendant not suf-
fcient TO vest him with title. and that
his power over the same was revoked
by the death of the deposition. The
case was carried to the Court o. APP
peals. where it was argued in March |
1884. but the decision was not given un

elaborate; it Oyerturns and reverses

cheap work of foreigners. Nobody can
nau fault with it; nobody can condemn

because of our firm belief in this prin-

day, a judge decided that 1t was
not a crime for negro to steal water
melons from the vine. There may be
other States in the Union whore this
decision would be considered good law
but if so they are all south OF the Mason

in them. Now, in Utah stealing a
watermelon from the vine, and being
caught at it, will secure for the thief
either conviction before the court. or a
clubbing at the hands of the irate owner
OF the vine. Over here in Wyoming it is
thought to be no crime nor even a
wrong to shoot Cinnamon, and rob and
burn their houses. A thousand miles
further to the northwest, up in Wash

to kill chinamsn and arson to burn

WEDNESDAY JULY ~, 1885.
MIR. RoAca's DOLPHIN.

Mr.. Roach, the great s~hipbuilder, is
alleged to have failed recently for a large
amount. We are inclined to believe
that there is some Interior purpose in the
story. The Government has paid him
more than one hundred millions for ships
and repairs within twenty years. The
condition of our Navy shows that he
never gave much in return for the money.
Lately he has been having trouble with
Secretary Whitney about the acceptance
OF the Dolphin. The Secretary holds
that the vessel is not up to the contract,
and refuses to pay for her. The matter
was finally referred to Attorney General
Garland for IN opinion on the terms of
the contract and the law of Congress
under which it was made. General Gar
land tells Secretary Whitney that, first,
Congress ordered a despatch boat "hav-
ing a sea speed of fifteen knots" second,
the contractor agreed to build the ship
Gin conformity with the plans and speci-
fcations;" and, third, the speed ordered
by Congress not having been attained,
and the ship not having been built in
conformity with the plans and speci6ca-
tions, it would in fact require a new Act
of Congress to authorize the Secretary OF
the Navy to accept the vessel. He can
only, with his present authority, accept
the ship Congress ordered built on the
plans and specifications provided. The
Dolphin is not such a ship.
Mr.. Roach contracted to have the
Dolphin completed by July %. 1884.
That he failed in by many months. He
contracted to put into her steel shafts.
That he failed in, and at his own request
was allowed to substitute iron. Congress
ordered a ship of fifteen knots sea speed.
And that he failed to give her. In fact,
the Dolphin is not the kind OF ship Con-
gress ordered or the contract calls for.
She is a different kind of ship, and it
seems to us the Attorney General is
clearly right when he holds that the
Secretary of the Navy has no authority
to accept any ship but such a n as
Congress ordered and as the contract re-
nuires.

THE COAST DEFENSE COMMIS.
SION.

The last Congress authorized the ap-
pointment Of a Military Commission
whose duty it shall be to consider the
defenseless condition of the United States
and make recommendations of means for
the nations protection. A Commission,
composed of gentlemen Of high character
and recognized skill, was accordingly
selected, and the same has been divided
into a number of subcommittee, each
having jurisdiction over a special branch
of the general subject. The Commission
is now. as we learn from the press dis
patches, in session in New York: Gen.
Benet, Chief Of Ordnance, Gen. Newton,
Chief of Engineers, Gen. Abbot. of the
Engineer Corps, Commander Goodrich
and Capt. Smith are the Committee on
Guns and Armor; Gen. Abbot and Com
mander Sampson are the Committee on
Torpedo and Torpedo Boats; Command
ers Sampson and Goodrich are the
Committee on Ships of War, and Joseph
Morgan, Jr., Erastus Corning, Gen. Abb
bot and Capt. Smith are the Committee
on the Production of Armor and Guns.
There are in this Commission men who
can, if they will, present a plan for the
defense of the nation from foreign inva.
sion which will be recognized by the in
telligent people Of the United States as
worthy of immediate adoption. The
provision Of a thorough torpedo equip
ment for our chief harbors, with heavy
guns mounted ON suitable Notifications
for the protection Of the system in action,
and the creation of a feet of the swiftest
steel cruisers science can devise, together
with a few war ships Of the best class to
guard our great seaboard cities, are the
essential features of the plan which must
ultimately be chosen.
