WHATEVER the response that can be
made to Secretary Whitney's letter to
Commodore Russell of Mare Island, the
facts the Secretary recites concerning the
steamship Mohiean appear to be of char
acter to defy explanation. The Mohican
was taken out Of commission in 1872, and
ever since that time she has remained at
Mare Island Navy Yard undergoing re-
construction. But she is now ready for
service, and in the latter days of this
month will resume her place in the navy.
During the twelve years of her vacation
the Government has expended upon her
about 100000. She is a wooden ship of
1000 tons displacement, and of a style now
practically useless for fighting purposes.
According to the Secretary, she has cost
three times what a new ship of the same
character and class can be built for from
the keel to the topmast. That it is posi-
bic to satisfactorily explain this astonish-
ing statement or soften it in the least, few
people will believe. The Mohican is a
standing reproach to the Navy Department,
and past administrations will scarcely at
tempt TO account for the extraordinary ex-
penditure OF money that has been made
upon her.

AN EASTERN VIEW.

MIR. Zach Montgomery gets small mercy
from the New York Times. 1t declares
that he has gained his unfavorable opin-
ions about the common-school system not
through the perversity, but through the
natural shallowness and imbecility of his
mind. This conclusion on the part of the
Times is drawn from examination of Zach's
essays and anathemas upon free schools.
The Times does not know the man as we in
California do, but judges from his recorded
expressions. and its judgment is, therefore,
critically impartial 1t declares that
Montgomery's witless conclusions are
reached after a very simple fashion As
the Times supported Mr.. Cleveland, it can
not be said to be preiudiced in this case.
1t says:
Montgomery discovers that there are more
common schools and fewer illiterates i'll the
New England States in proportion TO the pOpu-
lation than in the Southern States, He ciphers
| on and presently fndS that according 10 the
census returns of 1880 the New England States
| had, with their two and Il half millions of peo-
pie, 2,i59 criminals III prisons, while the South
cIIi states IlIu, Will three IlllllOllS OF WHITES
comparatively unlettered, only Az in prison or
| in other words the New England system had
one native-born white criminal to every J. 900
| persons, while the Southern States had but one
| to every $500, or six times as many in propor-
/ ton to the population, i'll New England as in
! the South" AsceTtaning that the census of 1880
| confirms this startling proof of the criminality
! of the highly educated New Englanders, Mr.
| Montgomery posts the affirmation that the com
| mon school system ''is making too large class
| Of criminals and law-breakers among the rising
| generation and that it ought to be broken up
| The tolerably well known fact that up in New
criminals and putting them in prisons where
| they can be seen and counted by the census
| cnuneratorS, while in the free and easy-going
| South they hang or shoot Off-hand a good many
| of the worst offenders, and let a very much
| larger number of the common sort of nalefact-
| 0rs escape punishment altogether, would doubt
less have suggested itself to more open and
| active mind

No disorders, excepting the most deadly
forms Of lung disease, involve such ire
mendous destruction Of organic tissue as
those which fasten upon the kidneys. Such
maladies when they become chronic-and
none are so liable to assume that phase
completely wreck the system. To prevent
this terrible disease, recourse should be had
upon the first manifestation of trouble. to
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which expert
ence has proved to be highly effective as a
means of imparting tone and regularity to
the organs of urination, as well as to the liv-
er, stomach and bowels. Another beneficial
result of this medicine, naturally conse-
quent upon its diuretic action, is the elm
iinatiOn from the blood of impurities which
beget rheumatism, neuralgia, govt, dropsy.
and other maladies. BY increasing the
activity of the kidneys, it augments the
depurative efficiencyof these organs, which
are most important outlets for the escape
of such impurities.
