Extent of the Ocean.

st. James Gazette: At the last meet
ing of the Royal Society of Edinburg
DIR. John Murray of the Challenger
expedition made 4 communication on
1.-The HIGHT and volume of the Dry
Land and the Depth and Volume of
the Ocean" According TO us own in
vestigations, Engineering says. the
mean hight of the land of the globe
was 1850 feet above the sea level, and
the mean depth of the ocean was r.
$50 feet. or 1850 fathoms. If the
ocean were regarded as being divided
into two parts by the 1,000-fathom line
it would be found that the mean depth
of the area having less depth than
l 900 fathoms was POPS feet, or 3JS
fathOms, or nearly the same depth be
meath the sea as the hight of the Try
land above it. On the other hand, the
mean depth of the area beyond the
l 900 fathOms Is 1860 feet, or 2.440
fathoms. The former area-ealled b.
DR.. Murray the transitional Area
occupies $4,000, 600 square miles; and
the latter area. which is the abysmal
area, and is situated fully three miles
below the average nights of the corti-

Rebels Rule the Boost.

II is only tweniy-thrce years since
our National armies suppressed the
Southern rebellion and indicated the
National integrity. and yet we already
find in the White House a President:
elected by the "solid votes of the
rebel States, an ex-rebel occupying "a
seal in the Presidents Cabinet as the
law adviser of the Government, an ex-
rebel occupying another seat in the
Presidents Cabinet as Secretary of
State. an ex-rebel occupying a seat in
the Federal Supreme Court, ex-rebels
filling nearly all the diplomatic and
Consular positions abroad, an ex-rebel
occupying the chair of the Speaker of
the National House of Representatives.
cx-rebels at the head of the most i'm
portant standing committees of the
House. and, in fact, ex-rebel members
having the balance of powerin Congress
for the control of National legislation.

An exp eriment is on trial in Germany
for the relief of the unemployed, by the
establishment of what is called labor
colonies. The methods adopted are to
set up an establishment in which varh
Gus trades can be carried on and oc-
capation given TO unfortunates who
are unable to get employment other
wise. These colonies are founded in
the first instance by charitable assis-
lance and then become seif-support-
ing, though all admitted to them re-
ceived wages after the first fortnight.
The experiment has proved so sue
cessful that tn re are now twenty pro-
vincial colonies, with accommodations
for thousands of wOrkmen.

The Philadelphia Record, Democratic
free-trade paper, in a lengthy review Of the
status and preferences of the Pennsylvania
delegation to Chicago, says: "Indiana's fifteen
electoral votes are worth fighting for. and
Gresham could better pluck the fruit than
Harrison, the friends of the former claim, if
the factional differences between their follow
ers could be satisfactorily adjusted" In the
first place, there is no fractional difference"
between the followers of General Harrison
and Judge Gresham in this State. except
such as lie Manufactured outside the State for
the occasion, and for the sole purpose of de-
feating the nomination of an Indiana man,
and particularly of injuring General Harrison,
who is the choice of the Republicans of the
State: and in the second place, the man who
says that Gresham could more easily carry In
diana than Harrison is either an ignoramus or
fool. and in either case he is very doubtful
adviser. No sane man, or wise man, would
ever utter such a statement.

THIS Is what Mr.. Cleveland said in his
'scare" message to Congress in December last
and which the Democratic convention has
declared to be the true Interpretation of the
party view on the tariff:
cit need hardly be stated that while the
present situation demands q remedy, we can
only be saved from 4 like predicament in the
future by removal Of its cause.
Our scheme of taxation, by means OF which
this needless surplus is taken from the people
and put into the public treasury. consists of
tariff or duty levied upon importations from
abroad, and internal revenue taxes levied
upon the consumption of tobacco and spirit
uous and malt liquors.
'Itmust be conceded that none of the things
subjected to internal revenue taxation are,
strictly speaking, necessaries; there appears
to be no just complaint of this taxation by
the consumers of these articles, and there
seems to be nothing so well able to bear the
burden without hardship to any portion Of
the people"
MIR. CLEVELAND declared against removing
the internal revenue tax, and therefore in
favor of the removal of the tariff on impor-
tations which he says is ''the cause" of the
present situation, predicament that can
only be guarded against in the future by
'the removal of the cause" Mr.. Clevelands
policy dan the Mills bill look toward a removal
Of the tariff or duty on importations; in other
words, toward free trade. Why are not Dem
ocrats honest enough to acknowledge it and
make the issue squarely and fairly before
the people?

INDIANA can have the candidate for the
presidency. Every indication, the logic Of
the situation, points to Indiana and to Gen.
Harrison. If we fail, the fault will be inside
the State, not outside. The only point of
danger is possible belief of q
division among Indiana Republicans which
certain persons outside the State, for reasons
quite apparent. are doing their best to create
Every loyal. honorable Republican of Indi-
ana should exert his utmost effort to aid the
delegation to Chicago in proper and Just
representation of the desire of the State. If
Indiana's fifteen votes are wanted the conven-
ton will turn to Indiana for candidate, and
when that contingency is reached. every man
Of reasonable common sense and political sa-
gacity sees and knows that General Harrison
is the one who will be named.

and Connecticut and Indiana and West vir-
GINA The Post says: "It win be seen that
without Indiana oil these combinations are
helpless" The Post then gives three Demo
cratic combinations, and adds: 'It win be
seen by both sets Of combinations that Indi-
ana is . very important State to both parties,
and is likely to be iercely contested" This
il an impartial Cleveland Democratic view.
It comedies with our own opinion. Indiana
Is the pivotal, the determinative State. The
Republicans can have the fifteen votes Of this
State and secure the Presidency by the nomi-
nation Of General Harrison.
