A Young Strangers Grievances.

The Commissioners yesterday pardoned
several persons out of the workhouse who
had been committed on the charge of va
grancy. Among the number was +. b.
Christmap, youth of seventeen, who came
here from West Chester County, Pa, to
seek employment as a telegraph operator.
He brought pistol with him, and was ar
rested on the night Of the first day he ar
rived here, the 9th of January. He stated
that he was walking around the streets late
at night, never having been here before, and
was looking at the Capitol and other large
buildings by moonlight when he was ar
rested. The next day he was sent to the
workhouse, and has had to work with q
gang Of rough men, and has got blisters on
his hands.
The police state that they found the young
man standing in doorway at 3 a. M, and
he tried to sneak off when discovered.
The Police Court authorities state that
Judge Smell had the young man released
two weeks ago.
Major Dye says the young man stole $40
before coming here. On the night he was
arrested he went to the house of Mr.. Rich
ard Sylvester, I'll East Capitol street, and
stated that he wanted place to sleep and
that he was stranger. While Mr.. Sylves-
ter was getting his hat aud coat to direct
him to place, he suddenly disappeared.
Later In the night he was arrested with a
pistol on him. The Commissioners acted
on the paper yesterday, but the prisoner
was released while the case was pending.

the happy results. One bright lad, the

Besides the damage by the gale as re-
ported in The CRITIC of yesterday, the roof
and windows OF the new Pension Office
were badly damaged. The tin was torn of
the roof and hurled through the air and
scattered about Judiciary Square. At one
time during the afternoon the flying tin,
felt and tiles made 1t dangerous to pedes-
trians and the building was carefully
summed. The northern portion of the
roof was also damaged considerably, but to
what extent cannot be ascertained until
after the abatement of the storm. The
building suffered also about the doors and
windows. One OF the larger windows
which light the court was blown In and
smashed to fragments. The door at the
western entrance was blown from its
hinges, and at the northern entrance the
whole doorway was blown In.
The roof of Rev. Mr. Ruser's house, 002
Nineteenth street, was blown half off aud

FAILURES OF SCIENCE.

There is good deal of humbugglng in
the attempt made by the government to
maintain scientific department. A great
deal of public money is expended every
year in this attempt, and while it is not
fair to say that no benefits are derived from
the expenditure, still, as compared with
what they ought to be, the scientific de-
partment is something like the Indians
gun-it costs more than it comes to. There
is a degree of careleSsness ana lack of at
tention to business on the part of those en-
trusted with the management of the work
that lead to very unsatisfactory results. An
evidence of this was had in the failure to
take official observations of the recent earth
quake OF such a character as to be of Selen-
tifc value. There are plenty of scientists
on the government payroll at Washington
and large number of instruments suitable
for earthquake observations lying around
the various departments at the national
capital, and yet not single one was
brought into use, and there are no records
that are of the least particle of value. An
instrument was recently placed Oh top of
tll0 w dSuIllSIOL W dSCClbtt
whether that shaft was swayed by the
winds. Itrecorded accurately the vibrations
of the monument and would have undOubt-
eddy recorded valuable data of Tuesday
nights earthquake. But when examined
the next morning it was found that the i'll
strument had not been set and consequently
it had no information to impart. This is
only one of the many instances that might
be cited of the failure of various depart
ments of science under control of the gov
eminent to be of service at times when the
service was most needed. 1t is because of
these things that we are moved 10 remark
that there Is good deal of humbuggery in
government science. The information which
is ungathered exceeds that which is gath
cred.

A COLONIZATION SCHEME.

DakotianS will hardly appreciate the
scheme under consideration by the Repub-
lican national congressional committee to
colonize in their midst a multitude of
Southern negroes That such a m ovement
is on foot has been strongly asserted by
those IN position to know the exact truth,
and it has even been half admitted by the
secretary of the committee. The object is,
of course. purely a political one, the inten-
ton being, not to consider the welfare of
the colored people. but to advance the in
terests of the Republican party. just as
everything else that the Repu blicans have
evolved regarding the negroes has been in
tended to do. The Republicans have OBJ
served. with alarm, that their forces in Da-
kota have been steadily decreasing, and
that on the other hand those of the Demo
Gratis have been enlarging. With visions of
Democratic success in the territory in the
near future, and its enrolment upon its adj
mission among the Democratic states, they
have been put in a state of mind in which
anxiety and alarm are certainly uppermost.
They hope, however, to counter
act this sensible tendency on the part
of Dakotians toward Democracy by their
colonization scheme. II they cannot retain
possession of the expected state government
by means of intelligent white voters. they
propose doing SO through the wholesale i'm
portation Of ignorant negroes who will vote
as they are hidden. 1t is not likely that
the independent citizens of Dakota will
relish the arrangement. They know pretty
well what kind of citizens the shiftless,
careless, improvident negroes of the South
would make, and they know very well that
such imm igrants are the reverse of desir-
able. In country where every person
must needs be the embodiment of energy
and industry, there is no room for the in
dolent who in time will become charge
upon their more thrifty fellows. And more
than that, it is not likely the Dakotians will
submit tamely to an effort made to smother
their will, as expressed in their ballots, by
the importation of what will be substan-
TALLY purchased voters.

A DILEMMA.

It is time for Gov. DAVIS to have a voice
in the squabble now going on in the Re-
publican ranks, for if he doesn't make
himself felt pretty soon ne will be ground
between the upper and neither milIstones OF
the grinding factions. The GILMAN organ
in this city, in reviling the MCGLLL fac
ton for the high-handed manner in which
it captured the Ramsey county delega-
ton, alleged that it was direct
blow at Gov. DAVIS, who was
a member of the GILMAN combination.
Now Mr.. MCGLL's organ promptly steps
to the front to rescue Gov. DAVIS from his
peril. 1t is apparently very kind of Mr..
MCGILL and his friends to act so gener-
ously toward the governor. But when a
peep under the surface is taken it is observed
that neither Mr.. GILMAN nor Mr.. MCGILL
are DISTINGUISHED in their manifestations of
friendship for Gov. DAVIS. Both
want him for ballast. Each has
an idea that an alliance with
the governor will be an element of strength
to himself, while the governors friends are
evidently averSe to have him flying as tail
to either kite. In the scuffie which is likely
to ensue between the two factions, the gov
ernor is apt to find himself lodged some
where between the devil and the deep sea,
and the only possible chance of being
rescued from the danger which envirOnS him
is to cut loose from both factions and let
every candidates tub stand on its own bot
tom.

THE CHARLESTON CALAMITY.
healthy indication that the war is
really over is found in the fact that not a
single bloody shirt champion has had the
call to rise up and say that CharlestOn's
calamity was retributive justice. The feel
inc of sympathy is stronger in the Amerl-
can breast than that of sectional animosity.
1t makes no difference if South Carolina
was the nHrsery of secession, and that the
openlng Gun of the rebellion was fired in
Charleston harbOr, that is all forgotten in
the horrible disaster which has fallen upon
the Queenly city by the sea. There are no
political or sectional animosities strong
enough to shut out the sympathy OF the
American people for the stricken city.
When the roaring guns of Sumter disturbed
the peace of the nation and threatened the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Union, on that
memorable 18th day of April, 1861. bristling
legions sprang up all over this Northland to
resent the insult to the national flag and to
preserve the integrity of the government.
To-day when the echOing rumble of the
earthquake shock is borne northward. the
scenes of twenty-five years ago are forgot
ten and their memories buried, as the Ameri-
can people with one mind and heart full of
fraternal sympathy extend helping hand
to the suffering Carolinans. Thus it is, in
the mysterious ways of Providence, the
commissions of nature are made the healing
balm to cure the nations wounds.

PHIL ARmoUK,s VIEWS.
Pork will Double Its Present Vail

I'm a Year.
The following letter. which is signed
"Armour & Co.," Chicago, takes very
flattering view of the future. 1t runs as
follows:
The object of this letter is to call your at
tentiOn to the general signs Of the times and
their favorable bearing upon the provision
trade, and we venture the hope that the facts
submitted may assist you in your contact
with your customers and be of benefit to
them also in their distributive business. We
are firm believers in higher prices for all hog
products. and we base it on the healthy out
look and condition of trade generally.
In the South q good cotton crop is assured,
which means liberal demand for provisions
of all kinds from that section.
The corn crop is finally conceded to be
largely short, not over 65 per cent. of a full
average, which condition always brings higher
prices for hogs and consequently for their
various products.
The exports of provisions during the last
year are largely in excess Of those Of the pre-
ceding year, and stocks OF hog products
throughout the country are very light, es-
pecially so at the interior packing points.
Lake frelghts are firm and advancing be-
cause the vessels are busy transporting iron
and other ores, which indicates the working
OF the foundries and rolling mills, all of
which give employment to many thousand
men and furnish material for the active
railroad extensions now progressing all over
the West, and for building purposes through
out the country generally.
1t is also a fact that the iron mills Of the
country are not half supplied with the ore re-
quired for existing contracts. and the numer-
Gus railroad enterprises in progress are not
likely to be completed during the ensuing
year; all being an index to continuous outlay
and assured prosperity. We would not be
surprised to see mess pork double its present
price within the coming year, and all the
other products in corresponding proportion.
Our own general trade in the various depart
ments of our business was never better at
this season, and taking all these factors and
elements into consideration, we think you are
entirely safe in inducing your friends to buy
literally in anticipation of the requirements
of their trade.
