DON'T OVERDO IT.

1t is not with the desire to belittle the
achievement of Captain MURRELL, OF the
steamship Missouri, who saved the lives OF
the seven hundred and odd men, women and
children upon the Inflated Danmark, that
we ask if heroism and humanity are such
rare qualities nowadays that when they
are exhibited we must worship their pos
SCISSOR and cover him all over with honors
Captain MuRRELL is undoubtedly
a brave and good man, and
his deed is worthy the highest
communication; but is there a captain Of
an ocean steamer who would have done
less than the commander of the Missouri
did under the same circumstances! II
there is one, he should be at once relieved
of duty and turned adrift alone on an
ocean where there would be not the least
likelihood of a passing ship picking him up.
! 1t is well to applaud MURRELL, to decorate
! him with titles and hOnors, and to make
his name synonym for humane
deeds: but it may be possible to
90 so far in this matter as to re
feet on the courage and humanity
of the other brave and humane men who
command ships. We are generous enough
to believe that it happened to be the Mis-
souri, captains opportunity to perform al
act which any of the hundreds of captains
would have performed just as cheerfullN
under similar circumstances. To believe
otherwise would be to believe there arr
very vile and heartless men in command o
our ocean steamers-men so cruel and 81
cowardly that they would see 200 people
perish when it was possible, by little eft
fort. to save them. Give Captain MURRELl
ali praise, but do not overdo the business
and thus make it appear that his virtue
are exceptional, OF TIA he is the only mai
in control of an ocean steamer who has tn
heart to save the lives of his fellows.

A REMARKABLE CONFESSION.

That was peculiar testimony which PAR
NELL gave on his cross examination III Lon
don on Friday His evidence was straight
enough, but his confession was something
which one would not expect from man
standing as he does, 1.-The uncrowned king
of a great people, priding himself on his
honesty. his uprightness and his integrity.
The attorney general quoted a statement
made by PARNELL in parliament during the
debate on Forster's bill in 1881 for the sus-
pension of the writ of habeas corpus, to the
effect that secret societies had ceased to
exist in Ireland The attorney general
asked: Did you believe that when you
said it, The reply was what astonishes-
No; at any rate it was a grossly eXagger-
ated statement" The dispatch says there
was buzz of surprise Throughout the court
room at this response Naturally that
would be the case. 1t is not astonishing,
sometimes, when supposedly honest men
lie, but it is surprising when one of then
openly and unblushingly confesses to lying
The wires tell further of what occurred, as
! follows:
Did you or did you not" continued the
! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
when YOU made that statement
| i have no doubt that l did was the reply
| Attorney-general-Del
| PARNEIL-YeS. deliberately.
| Attorney general-YOu deliberately made the
statement, knowing il To be untrue:
PARNEII-Yes, or if not untrue, very extra
VACANT and bOastiul.
Attorney general-You have never since with
drawn it:
PARNLI-No; have not.
The nonchalance with which the witness mao
these admissions astOnished the audience an
elected Kisses. Probably, added PARNElIL
| the statement was TO mislead the house. l an
afraid it did not, for the bill passed. My pun
pose was TO eXaggerate the erect the LetS u
had in reducing the number OF secret socleues
The League undoubtedly diminished the mum
her of secret societies. though il had not SWep
them away, as ] stated
There are men who justify, in their owl
minds, deliberately lying under certal
conditions and circumstances, and ev
IDENTIFY PARNELL is one of these men; bu
we are free to confess the belief that he ha
not raised himself any in the esteem OF tn
public by his admission on Friday tina
eight years ago he cOncOcted and uttered
fiat untruth for the purpose OF decelvln
his hearers. There are some VINO haV
been admirers of the Irish leader who wi
be unable to find it in their hearts to az
prove his course in this matter, or to sa
the end justified the means. There are ne
few who will wish PARSELL had ne
convicted himself of deliberate and inter
tionaI lying, even to gain the point at whic
he aimed. There are many true friends
ireland who do not like to look upon PA
NELL as demagOgue, preferring to regaI
, him as a statesman and as patriot, &c
honorable to seek to accomplish anythin
, by other than honorable and commendabl
means.
The lie did Mr.. PARNELL no good whe
, he uttered it, and unless we are mistaken
viii do HIM harm now.

AN UGLY LOOK.

If the story told of how the resignation
of Judge DURHAM, first comptroller of the
treasury, is true there is severe reflection
on President HARRISON, and the public will
not have absolute confidence in the honesty
and integrity of the administration. DbR-
HAM was one of the most faithful and
honest officials who ever served the gov
eminent He came TO be known as the
watch dog.of the treasury When he let
go of money everybody knew that the cash
was not paid ont improperly. No matter
how small the sum, the claim was carefully
scrutinized by DURHAM, and had to bear the
undoubted sanction of law before it received
the approval of the comptroller. No man
has more faithfully guarded the peoples
treasury. He is Just such man as is al
ways required at the head Of his bureau
The story is, that with the advent of
HARRISON, Judge DURHAM rendered his re
signatiOn, but it was not accepted, and the
intimatiOn was given that it would be salts
factory to the administration if he would
remain in Office. All went well until
JOHNNY DAVENPORT, the Republican super
visor of elections in New York, sent in u
hin for s63. 300 for extraordinary eX-
pepses,' in the November election. 1t is a
little singular that, although these ex-
penses were incurred four months before
the Inauguration, the bill was not
presented until the incoming of the Repub-
Iican administration. AS soon as 1t was
filled, Attorney General MILLER took it up,
out of its regular order, and requested its
prompt payment. Before the money could
be gotten out of the treasury, however, the
bill had to be passed upon and approved
nv the comptroller. DURHAM examined 1t,
could find no legal authority for its pay
ment. and therefore refused to give his
official assent to the claim This
refusal was followed by the prompt
acceptance of his resignation. y
1t is safe to say that DURHAM's successor
will not hesitate to approve the bill, winch
is said to bear the so. X of the President,
as well as of the Encouragement, both OF
whom are very DESTROYS that DAVENPORT
shall be paid for the excellent service ne
did for the Republican cause.
The action is not creditable to General
HARRISON. 1t is suggestive of respect for,
If not of training with t4e boodlers. The

ENTERPRISING SAN FRANCISCO.

The Californians are loyal to their state,
in everything, and money is no object to
them. A telegram from Washington says
Secretary TRACY has awarded to the Union
Iron works, of San Francisco, the contract
for building the immense coast defense yes
sci, the price to be 81, 62S, 600. The Califor-
mans will be immensely pleased by this,
and it will not surprise US to hear that they
will indulge in public rejoicing over the
event. They have beaten the eastern bid
ders, and are proving that ships can be
built at San Francisco cheaper than on the
Atlantic coast, and they are so patriotic
that they don't care how much money II
costs them to make the demonstration. II
is doubted that any ship was ever built al
San Francisco for less than % per cent
more than the same vessel would have cost
at any of the yards east but that is Of nc
moment to the loyal people of San Fran
cisco who cheerfully 60 down into their
pockets and see TO it that their
ship-building establishment is not only
maintained, but that it builds
government vessels for less money than
others can construct them for. A couple OF
wears ago the Union Iron works received
the contract for constructing the Charles
ton. the bid for the work being lower than
those OF eastern competitors The shiI
has been built, and most magnificent yes
sci she is, but the general understanding
was and is that she cost good deal more
than the contractors will receive for her
The loss, however, will be made good, fol-
California pride will never permit anybody
in the east to say that the Pacific is MOI
ahead of the world in enterprise.
The trait is an admirable one, and 1t ha:
done much TO build up, develop an(
make great California. 1t is the
spirit which has taken the building
of the coast defense vessel away from the
east which in time will make San Fran
cisco great ship-building city. Other
communities might learn lessons in thrift
and far-seeing enterprise from San Fran
cisco, which knows it to be a wise invest
ment at this time to transport iron acros
the continent and pay higher wages thai
are paid in the east in order to take tn
building of this war ship from the AT
lantic coast There will be a Temporal,
loss. but in the long run there will be mil
lions in it for California.

THE LATEST thing in the manufacturing
world is a factory in Camden, New Jersey
for making asphalt bricks. An exchange
describes the factory and the mode of man
ufacture. Hard blue limsetone is crushed
and then run through a revolving drum in
a heater, after which the pulp is mixed
with asphalt in the proportions Of s. per
cent of the stone te - per cent Of asphalt
The mixture is then moulded into bricks,
pressed and subjected to a heat equal TO 30
degrees F., the blocks being cooled in
water The factory, which is the only one
in the United States, has a capacity for
making 3,5OO,OOO blocks per year, and the
machinery being automatic, one man is able
10 operate it. The bricks are necessarily
much stronger thar those made Of clay, are
impervious to moisture and as lasting as
stone They can ne used for houses or
street pavements. aud the cost is said to be
little above that Of tirst-class brick. As Utah
has mountains of limestone and other noun
tains of asphalt, and is somewhat short Of
good brick clay, it may be worth the while
of some of our enterpising citizens to in
Eestigate the asphalt brick business.
