MrxxEAroLa. Mimi, April 1.-THE
Rev. II. W. Gleason, who went 10 Dakota
last week 10 investigate the losses and SUI
fcrings from the recent prairie fires, re-
turned to the city yesterday. The accounts
Of the losses have, in general view, been
exaggerated, but as TO particular places,
the half has not been told. lie estimates
that not more than twenty-five people lost
their lives, though many more are still
aick from burns and exposure and some
may die. Cash rcmilianccs are no longer
needed, but supplies OF all kinds can DO
utilized In almos, any quantity; lumber,
seed grain and agricultural supplements
being most Ia demand.

JAY GOULD as A PRoTECTIoNIsT.

JAY GOULD as A PROTEC1IONISI.
Only few days ago we furnished our
readers an instance OF Mr.. Andrew Car
negie's Inconsistency, as protectionist IN
complaining to the Pennsylvania Legs
lature because OF the alleged discrimina-
ton by tho Pennsylvania Railroad in Ia
yor OF the iron manufacturers OF Chicago,
who were thus enabled TO enter into
competition with him at the seaboard.
Today we are enabled, through tele-
gram from New York, to call attention to
tho inconsistency Of Mr.. jay Gould,
who, as the largest stakeholder in
and president Of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, has just sent
Capt. Seabury, well-known navi-
gator OF New York, to Liverpool to
take charge OF new steamship named the
Pacific, Just completed at one OF the great
shipyards on the Clyde, and sail her to
San Francisco where she is 10 enter the
line so famous in the China rs well as the
Australian trade. To this there could not
be any objection but that the Pacific can
not sail under the American flag. She
must fly the British ensign at her peak as a
British vessel. registered among the British
tonnage. She will be British ship belong
ing to an American company. Mr.. Gould
is a Republican and protectionist, and
has upheld and voted with the statesmen,
like Secretary Blaine, who have had SC
much to say about protection for Ameri'
can workingmcn. yet finding it to his self
interest he stultihcs himself without any
hesitation, pockets his principles for tho
time being, patronizes the so-called paupel
labor Of Great Britain, breaks the rule
hitherto observed by the Pacific Mai
Steamship Company and has this steamer
, built in Clyde yard because he could dc
80 at a rate cheaper than prevails in Thu
country aud save few dollars. liz
thus cvades the protection winch 80 mucl
increases tho cost of building steamship
and so coniesics that It may do for others
but II will not do for him when il run
counter TO his pocket interest. Protection
he thinks, is good enough theory to rul
q campaign or make canvass on, but
will not do when II comes TO buildin
steamships for his Pacific line. Could
principles are those entirely of dollars an
cents. But there Is another side to thi
story. This purchase OF tho Pacific i
: Glasgow by Gould is proof that protec
ton does not protect, and that tho tim
has come when the navigation laws shout
be repealed, that our citizens may be fire.

change. In ,ns hallway Mail service

WASHINGTON, April l1.-Since March
about 500 changes have been made in the
personnel of the railway mail service.
First Assistant Postmaster-General Clark
son, in speaking Of the matter today, said
it has been the policy of the department
to displace incompetent clerks and APP
point experienced and thoroughly efficient
men who left the service during the
last administration, where such were avail
able, aud DESTROYS OF re-entering the ser
vice. OF coure, he said, men whose facul-
ties have become impaired or whose
thorough fitness has become question
able will not be reinstated. The rail-
way mail service, no continued,
requires men not only Of superior
intelligence, but men whose faculties are
in perfect working order Men who pos
sess every requirement 10 the service are
comparatively few, and are not easily
secured, but when such are found they
should be retained in the service as
long as possible. Efficiency in the postal
service can be obtained only after long
struggle, and 10 remove such men TO make
places for political iavorites, irrespective OF
their fitness, is public wrong and should
not be tolerated by the public.

New York, April 1.-THE Herald says;
The Pacific Mail Steamship Company will
soon receive from Glasgow, Scotland, their
magnificent new steamer Pacific, which
they found II cheaper to build abroad than
in an American ship yard. Capt. Seabury
set sail from NewYork on the Guion Steam
er Alaska on Tuesday to take possession
OF the new vessel on behalf OF Jay Gould.
He will have to hoist tho British flag on
her, for by our laws she cannot fly the
stars and stripes, having been constructed
on the Clyde.
A foreign steamer in an American steam
ship line, which has loudly cried for sub
sides for years back, Is something OF an
anomaly. at Is like duck among q
brood OF Chickens" remarked an old skip
per at the Maritime Exchange yesterday.
Nathaniel Mckay. who is something oil
an expert on the difference between wages
paid in this country and in Europe, on
| being asked how much Gould would gave
by building his steamers abroad, said:
''rhe cost OF material in the Clyde ID
about 80 TO 40 per cent. less than here,
while our wages arc 90 to so per cent.
higher than are paid the Scotchnen.
"Messrs. Jay Gould 4 Son had the
steamer in question built in Scotland on
account OF this cheapness. She cannot fly
our flag or stop at two American ports with
load in her. This boat has been built 70
