4 SORE BOYLE.

A committee of the Ohio Senate has
made report which is far from the con,
Ventional Bhitewashing affair, and there
upon some persons feel called upon to ex-
press righteous indignation, so to speak,
that such things should be. The subject
of the report is the Hon. William Shakes
peare Cappeller, Commissioner of Rail
roads and Telegraphs.
Mr.. Cappeller should never have been
appointed. He is unfit by education and
training for the place, and apparently has
no appreciation of what the Office ought
to be. The appointment is one that re-
fleets no credit upon Governor Foraker
Mr.. James Boyle, of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, seems to be as sore
as a boil over this transaction. The
trouble with this Boyle is that a Mans
field rival of Cappeller had mixed him
with another Boyle. That was unfor-
tunate. One Boyle at time is enough.
The other Boyle-the wicked one, if we
may be permitted so to speak whose
surname is Joseph, was the partner of
William Shakespeare in venture sailing
under the high-sounding title of AmeFi=
can News Agency, which is claimed to
have been not as far above suspicion in
its methods as it might have been.
1t was highly improper that commit
tee of the Ohio Senate should make a re-
port censuring State officer for neglect
ing his duties to the public and animad-
vert upon such transactions as those of
the officer named and the aforesaid Jo-
seph Boyle. Such spirit of independ-
ence is not to be tolerated for one mo-
ment.
The frozen truth is, the Office of Rail
road Commissioner should be abolished,
if it is to be conducted by professional
place-hunters and party hacks like the
and Bill Bells and RObinsons

THE dissatisfaction among the en-

THE dissatisfaction among the en-
ploy6s of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road. growing out of the compulsion
used to sustain a system of insurance
against accident and death, at their ex-
pense, bids fair to cause a general re-
volt
The men claim that they can get bet
ter and more satisfactory life and acci-
dent insurance, if they desire it, at a
much smaller cost than offered by the
railroad company, and claim very justly,
we think. that it should be left to their
own option as to whether they should
take out policies or not. 1t is no won
der, therefore, that the men resent the
company's order that they must sign
the insurance contract or be discharged.
The anxiety of the Baltimore and Ohio
company to secure the signatures of
their 10000 employees to this insurance
contract is explained by the fact that
when a man signs it he surrenders all
right to claim damages at the hands of
the company for injuries received,
even where injury might be due to cul-
pable negligence on the part of the
company or gross carelessness on the
part of its servants.

Mayors of cities get rich in year
lone, at least, of the important cities is
destitute of credit. No one viii lend
lit any money. Spaniards so distrust
leach other that money is not forthcom-
ling for great public works"
Here is a sermon in a few lines, which
should impress every thinking man un-
der whose eyes it may fall. No good cit
izen can afford for one moment to toler-
ate any species of official peeulation OF
maladministration 1t is a public dan
ger, to be fought as men would rebellion
or pestilence.
The use of large sums of money in
elections, and the popular idea that the
larger an individuals bank account may
be the more available he will be as a can
didate, are rapidly drifting this country
into the condition so graphically desert
bed by DR.. Buckley. If men expend large
sums of money to obtain office. it is reas-
Onably certain that they expect to be re-
imbursed in some way. and thus some
people are robbed of money to be used
in corrupting and debauching others.

A SHIP ABANDONED In MID-OCEAN.
Over 700 People on Board when the
Vessel Left Port for America.

The steamer City of Chester discover
ed the Denmark, of the Thingvalla line,
abandoned in mid-ocean. The ship was
in sinking condition, and all of her
boats were gone. The Denmark left
Copenhagen with over 700 persons on
board, including passengers and crew.
The officials of the company cling to the
hope that these have been rescued. They
were mainly immigrants.
New YORK, April 12.-The news of
the discovery of the steamer Denmark,
abandoned in mid-ocean, caused the
greatest excitement in shipping circles
here. The matter is as yet truly a myS-
terry of the sea, and it is impossible to
say whether hundreds of persons have
found watery graves or whether a single
soul has been lost.
The Inman line steamer City of Ches-
ter arrived at Queenstown yesterday,
and her Captain reported that on April
8, in latitude 46 north, longitude 81
west, she passed the Danish steamer
Denmark, from Christiansand, Copenha-
gen, etc, for New York. The Denmark
had been abandoned by her crew. Her
stern was level with the sea and her
bow stood high out of the water She
was apparently sinking. All of the
boats were gone from the davitS, and the
abandoned vessel had a most melancholy
After watching the wreck
for some hours and observing no sign of
life the City of Chester resumed her
course.
The Denmark was a vessel of 2,260
tons and belonged to the Thingvalla
Line: She was commanded by Captain
Knudson. The Denmark was formerly
the Belgian steamer Jan Breydel. She
was bark rugged vessel and was $40
feet long, 40 feet in breadth and 26
feet deep. She was built at Newcastle,
in 1880.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
BLAINE.

\ surveyor from Wheeling was here
last Saturday and surveyed a lot for Mr.
E. I. kinsey, which he contracted fol
several weeks ago from Louis Ebling.
The old saw mill in the Valley is be,
ing diSmantled by Mr.. John Clark and
his sons, who purchased it from the
widow Crymble.
Mr.. Henry Warnig, of Martins Ferry
accompanied by his best girl, were the
guests of Mr.. James Beck's family last
Saturday.
A child of Mr.Jno.C Crawford last week
was attacked by a rooster. which threw
the child down and was pecking it in
the face; when discovered and driven
off 1t was found the child had sustained
quite an injury to its face. 1t is hard
to tell what the result would have been
but for the timely arrival of aid to the
child.
Much talk is just now indulged by
the people of Blaine as regards the Post
mastership of this place. Mr.. E. T.
klnsey, the present efficient incumbent,
it seems, is 10th to surrender the office
to a Republican, and to further his
ends, it is reported has put in circu-
latIon a petition asking that his wife
lshe being Republican, be appointed
Postmaster.
Miss Noble, of Wheeling Island, is
visiting her sister, Mrs. James Harmon.
Your correspondent last week count
ed in one day, 25 cars loaded with large
block stone, destined for the Union
Bridge at Martins Ferry.
Mr.. James Beck, who recently moved

NEW ATHENS.

New Athens is again invaded by a
busy set of students, who possess the
studious air of thinkers. The number
of students present this term exceeds
any summer term for many years.
VIM. Watson, Esq, prominent farm
er residing 2 miles south of New Athens,
well known in the business and social
circles, is seriously sick at present.
The Presbyterian congregation of this
place has rendered call to Rev. Keith,
a senior in the Western Theological
Seminary, Allegheny. Pa. 1t is under
stood the call will be accepted.
The Presbyterian and L. p. pulpits
were filed last Sabbath by S. H. Doyle
and W. W. Lawrence, from their re-
spective seminaries at Allegheny. Both
are young men of natural ability and
scholarly attainments, and will do a
good work instheir chosen profession,
Mrs, John Henderson, living 2 miles
southeast of New Athens, died of
typhoid fever last Thursday, and
was inferred in the Unity Cemetery
Saturday afternoon.

No TIDINGs have yet been received
from the passengers and crew of the
lost steamer Denmark, an account of
which will be found in another column.
The boats were all gone from the vessel
when passed by the City of Chester, and
she was water-logged and in sinking
condition. Quite number of trans-At-
lantic steamers have reached New York
and Queenstown since the City of Ches-
ter got into port, but none of them saw
any signs of the wreck nor any of the
boats. The City of Chester sighted the
wreck April s. Great anxiety is felt as
to the fate of the passengers and crew
of the lost vessel.

of the lost vessel

THERE is every prospect that Okla
homa will be the most rapidly settled OF
any Territory which has been thrown
open to civilization since the founda-
tions of our government were laid, and
all things favor trouble at the opening,
April D, but one-there will be no
whisky. The reason for this prOviden-
tial state of affairs is this: Under pres
ent laws no whisky can be introduced
within the Indian Territory; violation
of the prohibition law is punishable
with heavy Imprisonment and fine, and
agents and inspectors of the Government
will be on hand to see that the law is
enforced. Oklahoma will be the only
place in the country inhabited by whites
in which the National Government sup
ports prohibition. Its experience will
be watched with interest.

ARBOR DAY.
Commercial Gazette

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
We have always thought that our Ar
Dor Days were appointed too late in the
season, if anything more than a picnic
was the object. OF course the comfort
and health of the tree planters are of the
highest Importance. But the idea of
uprooting tree in full foliage and
sticking it into the ground again, to
struggle with the heat and drouth, is
not one which practical arborculturists
indOrse. In this region no tree should
be replanted later than the lst of April,
and the sooner after the frost is out of
the ground in the spring the better. The
fact is our Arbor Day should be changed
from spring to fall. In the latter season
the ground is usually firm and dry, out
door rambles are pleasant and safe,
and the transplanted trees, however
rough their treatment at the hands of
poetic planters, have some chance to es-
cape with their lives. About their man
gled roots the soil has chance to set
tie before the coming of the next sum-
mer drouth, and the trees get a start in
their new homes, with some prospect of
surviving and fulfilling the glorious
promises breathed forth by the orators
at the Arbor Day ceremonies.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, Monday
With reference to the Legislature to
be chosen next November, great care
must be taken if it is to be as good as
the one that goes out OF existence to-
day. But the next Assembly will choose
U. 8. Senator, and that usually proves
heavy strain upon the people, espe-
cially where there are several candidates
in the field, Nominations are often
made or sought to be made with refer
ence to the interest of some particular
candidate for the U. 5. Senate, rather
than the fitness of the person selected
to run for the Legislature. This is Il
bad order Of things, and ought to be
reversed. The people are far more in
tereSted in having good and reliable
Legislature than in selecting from
number of good men any particular one
for the 7, S, Senate. The people under
stand this very well, and they are jeal,
GUS of what is called the setting up bu-
siness. The fact is, 50 far as the Re
publican party is concerned, any wide
spread attempt to pack the Legislature
in the interest of any particular candi-
date would be likely to prove disastrous.
This is the danger rock to be severely
avoided if Republicans would carry the
State in November. If it shall be
avoided, the next Legislature will be
Republican.

THE grand jury of Port Townsend
W. T., has been very industrious in
finding indictments against several OF
Uncle Sans hired men who believed
with their superiors of the late Admin
istration, that public Office was pri-
vate snap. twenty-five indictments
were found against VIM. Harmed, ex-
Special Deputy Collector; eleven against
Herbert F. Beecher, Treasury Agent,
and thirteen against Quincy A. Brooks,
for stealing from the Government. The
free and easy way these patriots had of
reducing the surplus is shown by the
fact that after Harmed was dismissed
over $4,000 was found in various parts
of the office, secreted under carpets, in
flower pots, pigeon holes and other places.

OPTICAL CORRUPTTON

The most startling picture of the eff
fectS of official peculation and corruption
that we have seen recently is found in a
letter of DR.. J. NJ. Buckley, the widely
known Methodist clergyman, recently re-
turned from trip to Spain. DR. Buck
ley says: bribery is general. Almost
anything can be done with fee Not
"more than 40 per cent. of taxes levied
~by the government can be collected

WE are glad to know that the fight
THE CHRONICLE has made and is still
making for honest local government is
appreciated by the best men of St
Ciairsville, irrespective of party, and we
are sanguine its effects will be felt more
sensibly in the future. A town is, in
deed, overcome with the dry rot when
its people knowingly tolerate corrup-
ton and debauchery in its local govern
ment.
