MIR, Morrow,

There is no need of shedding tears over
the absent Secretary Morrow. He has
had very little consideration for the de-
mands and responsibilities linking him
to his duties in Wilmington. Both the
Board of Education, and the teachers who
were kept waiting for their pay have been
treated very cavalierly by him. Under the
the animadversions his absence is creating
in this community he deserves no sympathy
whatever.
Against the Board of Education no impli-
cation can be harbored. The present is
the moment of the usual annual auditing
of the Secretary's accounts, and the Pres
ideh'ts businesslike request of Mr.. Morrow
that he should make an immediate exhibit of
the cash accounts of the Board OF Education
and indeed, Mr., Baird's insistence second
time upon full report cannot be harshly
judged. AS appearances go the fact seems
only to have precipitated Mr.. Morrow's
disappearance. The only sequence. known
is that that missing man was last seen at
Detroit, and it does not need a Board of
Education to realize the geographical sig
nifcance of the locality, in close juxtaposi-
tion with the Canada line, where so many
of our frail but hampered shining light"
depart for season, holiday season of
moral recuperation and temporary oblivion.
The Wilmingtonian., 1885-06-27

What can be palmer than that one-half
of the human race could not do anything
which the other half resolutely rejected and
punished with contempt2 If this be grant
ed, it follows that the cure of intemperance,
of vulgarity, of gross dissipation among
men, lies wholly in the hands of women;
directly aud proximately in the hands of
young women, whose friends are the young
men specially opposed to or engaged in the
dissipation; indirectly and remotely in the
hands of the mothers, who give the daugh-
ters their moral tone.
Suppose there were anywhere a society Of
girls seriously banded together under an
earnest moral compact to have no unsober,
reckless young man for friends What a
great power for good, what large ramify-
ing influence for honor, sobriety, and good
morals, might such company of high.
minded girls exert. And suppose whole
community Of such village, a town, or
city, where noble moral sentiment created
practically such a compact among the wom-
en-. Would not the moral results be equal
ly certain and great! Would this demand
very great sacrifice on the part of the young
women, too great, stern, and ideal, to be ex-
pected?- Chicago Herald,

BarthoIdi's Statue.

'Bartholdi's statue is now Americas by
actual possession. The unloading of the
large pieces of bronze from the French
transport Isere is about completed and next
week the critical work of its erection at
Bedloe's island will be commenced.
The great beauty AMI magnificent proper
tions of this work of art constitute it one of
the wonders of the world, and ranking so in
our century of gigantic facts it all the more
outstrips any thing of ancient times. Com
posed of almost impershable material, and
firmly imbedded in its foundation it is prob
able in all human consideration, this won
de- full column will last for many centuries,
lasting monument of our day and genera
ton.
Possibly when a thousand years more
have passed away that sturdy massive
bronze will yet stand silently telling its
story of the strong and brilliant young ma
tion teaching the world the grand and thrill
ing theme of liberty and equality! The
same old ocean will lap its pedestal ten CEN
turtles hence, the descendants of the same
English.speaking people may be scattered
around its thriving euvirons! But what
changes are possible in our continent before
the Bartholdi bronze even commences to
show decay as the Egyptian Sphinx to-day!
Our land may be disrupted into half dozen
independent republics! The language we
SPEAK now will probably be unintelligible
then, but the grandeur Of that lesson taught
by the young American Republic can never
again vanish from OFF the face OF the
earth.-
THAT all men are created equal, that
they are endowed by their Creator with GER
tain inalenable rights: that among these
are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi-
ness"
A hundred yeals has come aud gone since
those inspired words were written, and now
tLey are recalled, emphasized, aul if possi-
bic euUbled by the most magnificent statue
the world has ever produced.

Cleveland and the Merchants.

In 1880 a commission appointed by Con-
gress reported that in the previous year at
Government had lost s65, 100000 of foreign
duties through undervaluation of invoices.
The usual way in which the government
is cheated of revenue mounting up to the
large figures quoted is readily understood
Government duties are usually based on the
ad valorem value of goods. That is to say
upon their ordinary market value. There
exist what are called specific duties also.
But merchandise imported into this coun-
try is usually taxed upon its actual market
price, as the American buyer would, in bus
English seller in, for instance, Liverpool,
London or any other place.
In the supposed transaction three invoices
are made out. United States revenue laws
require this, and also that they be taken to
the American Consul for certifcation. One
copy is retained by him and the other two
returned to the exporter, The invoice copy
retained by the American Consul is sent to
the collector Of the port Of entry in the
United States wherever the goods are con-
signed. Its use, of coarse, is apparently to
check any tampering by the exporting mer-
chant who may find it of advantage to un-
dervalus his consignment in order to save
duty when the goods arrive at their destina-
tion.
There are innumerable ways and conni-
vances by which Uncle Sam may be de-
frauded, but the Consul's copy of the in-
voice which is compared with the importers
when he presents his invoice for the duty
tax, more effectually blocks any attempt at
evasion of payment of the proper tariff duty.
Still it appears that in the city of Now
York that undervaluation is very common.
The port appraisers have year after year to
advance, as it is technically called, the in
voice valuations of goods. Some of the
largest impol ting houses in New York city
have had their imported goods advanced ten
per cent above the valuation that they
claimed they were liable to be adjudged.
The importers of the metropolis, indeed,
