The disappearance of the steamer Rapdan
will recall the loss of the City of Boston. Both
vessels sailed from port and have never since
been heard of. Not a trace, not bit of wreck
age, has been found. The theory is that the
Rapdan, which left NewYOrk on February 2,
foundered in the storm that came up on the
next day; hut she was a stanch ship, and be-
tween here and Costa Rica, especially on this
side of the Bermudas, the ocean is crowded
with shipping, that it seems hardly possible
that such a vessel should be wrecked without
being seen before the end came. Yet from the
hour the Rapidan disappeared below our
horizon no human being has known aught of
her. Her crew of twenty-five, her one passen-
ger. and her cargo of blooded cattle simply
sailed away forever.

several speeches in the political CAM
paign in progress there. The result
was the breaking down of the whole
| system. so far as official interference
10 politics is concerned. On the 14th
July, 1886, under precisely similar
eircumstances-the tendency of the
| election for members of the House to
sit during the two last years of his
term-Presiden Cleveland issued an
analogous order. In it he said: 81
deem this a proper time to especially
warn all subordinates in the several
departments, and all ice.holders un.
/ der the General Government. against
the use of theiS. official position in at.
tempts TO control political movements
in their localities; office-holdcls are
the agents of the people; not their
masters" Two District Attorneys
one Republican in Pennsylvania, the
other II Democrat in Missourl-diso.
beyed the order, and made political
speeches during the late campaign.
Whel the facts were brought to the
notice OF The President they were
promptly suspended. But it subse-
quenlly appeared that Postmaster-Gen
eral Villas did the same thing in Wis.
consin- 1t was clear that the President
would also have to dismiss that Of
fetal But he has done precisely what
Hayes did. He has overlooked the de-
linquent Cabinet officer. AS conse.
quence he was logically bound to re.
instate the suspended District Attor-
neys. He has restored the Democrat.
We now read under the Presidents
hand what seems ia be the new rule
That it is not " violation of Civil Serv-
Ice Reform TIC, deliver speeches to ones
neighbors aud fYieuds; hut that it is
an infraction of the system to accept
engagements to deliver speeches all
over State. If anybody can find any
logical comfort in the new definition
he is welcome TO it. One thing is GER
tain, that the act that was considered
weakness on the part of Hayes, can.
| not be translated into strength on the
paIl of Cleveland S. r. Bulletin.

the United States, died at his residence
in New York city, at 8 o'clock last

There is a howl about home rule
In order TO make Stewards fight harder
the Democratic papers shout "home.
rule forever" A gentleman named
Irish is appolntea SgryeYor General
of Nevada and the Republican papers
seize the home.iule bal, aud kick it
into the Democratic lines. The Dem.
ocratis TO maintain the appearance of
consistency echo the protests against
Mr.. Irish without knowing whether
they care about him or not, and all
make themselves highly dsagreeable
TO an fnoffepding genii.emsn who has
been appointed TO a Federal Office just
at the time when his case makes a con-
yen NaS handle for The homerule club.
The fact il, home-rule as spoken AT
present is u monsIrous humbug. 1t
happens to suit DE necessities of the
pending argument and is used without
either scruple or memory AS many of
our most Jealous home rulers have
gone to California IN search of ap.

raised about that, and ordinary courtesy
might ieslrain the. clamor about Mr.,
Irish who hid moth ing to DO. with the
campaign, hut who. simply accepted a

zen of the United Slater. Mr.. Irish is

SOUTHERN UNION SOLDIERS

An article in the North American
Review, by Felix A. Reeve, states that
the Southern States furnished over $50,
900 white volunteer soldiers tor the
Union Mon army 10 the late war, and nearly
100000, colored troops. Delaware, one
OF the old slave States, furnished a
larger number of.saldiers for the Union
army 10 proportion to military popu
latlon, than any other State of The
National Union In 1860 this heroic
little State had only about $4,000 white
males between the ayes of eighteen and
forty.hve. yet she sent 1860 men into
the Union army, or IS per cent. of her
available strength. New Hampshire
contributed d per cent Vermont and
Massachusetts, SO each; Main, So;
Rhode Island, 66; Illinois and Ohio,
SO; Kansas, 70, and Indiana IA. The
other Border States did almost as
credItably. Maryland furnished the
Union cause SO per cent; Kentucky,
"A; Missouri, Al; West Virginia, 48,
aud Tennessee, one of tho seeded
States furnished the Usion cause over
$4,000 white soldiers.
Mr. Reeve thinks that without The
conservative Union element of the
Southern aud Border slave States, the
Acknowledgement of the Federal Union
would have been inevitable; and had
it not been for the conservative stand
taken by The Union Democrats of East
Tennessee and other portions of the
South at the close Of the war, the con-
dltion OF the. acknowledgements wonld
have been miserable beyond measure.
DISTINGUISHED, there property taken,
and they themselves pursued as polili
cal outlaws and traitors, thousands of
those who had been arrayed against
them in deadly conflict, stood like a
break.water between them and utter
and unntterabie ruin, and this. too
without any hope or expectation of re-
ward from any source. That it will

National Government we're as gener

HOWLING FOR THE SACK.


The long,drawn howl of the Mug
wump and Democratic press for the
railroad sack is the, most heartrend
ing noise that las eyer excited pity
for the unfortunate 10 this State. No
one with spark of sympathy CT ten,
derness of feeling can hear it and not
weep a good deal harder than ever
Marius did over the. ruins of Carthage.
1t has been gong on now for weeks,
and the fact that the noise not dimin-
ishing INDICATES that the vacuum n
the newspaporial belly is not yet filled.
The doletul walls and ear splitting
screeches that have been going up of
late are a triffe overdone and smack
very much of the performance one sees
at Chinese funeral where the MOURN.
ers are paid 80 an hour to. howl. If
Fairs sack isn't being drawn on TO
liquidate Tor this melancholy grave
yard music the Appeal very much
mistakes the nature OF the noise.-1p.
