The grounding of the ~. Paul.

1t is difficult TO see what excuse that will
be even in a measure satisfactory Capt
Jamison Of the steamship St Paul can
offer for permitting his ship to run ashore
on the coast OF New Jersey. II is true
there was a dense fog at the time the &C
cidcnt happened. but he knew he was on
a dangerous coast, and it would have been
much the wiser course to have anchored
until the fog raised. Having decided to
continue on his course, however. he ought
to have had soundings taken every min
ute, instead OF every fifteen minutes, as
is alleged was done.
Capt. Jamison is a frst-class seaman,
and it does not seem to be the proper
thing TO suggest what he ought to have
done since he is presumed to know what
ought to be done in any case that may
arise i'm connection with the command OF
his ship much better than those who TN
dertake to criticise him. but there may
have been circumstances in connection
with this mlshap to the St. Paul that in
duccd him TO take chances his judgment
did not approve.
In the first place. it is alleged that he
was racing with the Cunard steamer
Campania. and that both the St Pam
and Campania were far out OF their re-
spective courses The desire to beat the
English ship into port may have lead
Capt. Jamison to continue on to port when
prudence dictated that he should anchor
his ship and wait for favorable weather.
1t is also said that the managers of the
Jamison, that il would be worth $780, 900
to the company that owns the st. Paul If
that ship should beat the best of the
Cunard ships. The hope of beating the
Campania therefore probably led Capt.
Jamison to take risks he would not have
taken under ordinary circumstances.
The American steamer would have beat
en- the English steamer into port if the
accident had not happened. That fact
may influence the company that owns
the St. Paul to overlook the fault of Capt
Jamison, even though it should think him
guilty of a grave error of judgment and
a lack of sense of responsibility
The passengers. however. are not likely
to accept any excuse whatever. They
did not pay their passage money with
the understanding the steamer would race
across the ocean in order to show she is
a faster vessel that the fastest of the
Cunard ships. They want safety as well
as speed. and as between the two, they
want safety.
1t is said the Campania got aground
also, but succeeded in getting off within
an hour after she struck. The Campania's
captain denies he was racing, and also
that he got aground. Probably there will
be an inquiry into the cause of the accs-
dent, in order to place the blame for
the accident where it belongs. An in
quiry should be had for the purpose of
impressng upon steamship captains, if
for no other reason. the fact that the
first thing for them to consider under
all circumstances is the safety of the
lives entrusted to their keeping The beat
ing of records and of rival steamers are
matters of secondary importance.

The announcement that Russia will keep
pace with England in the building of war
ships suggests the probability that she
will place orders for armor plate with
some of the great steel works of the
United States Russia has already bought
some armor plate from American manu-
facturers, and is said to be pleased with
it. 1t is claimed that this country is now
turning out the best armor plate in the
world. If Russia places orders for
armor in this country, and our own gov
eminent goes into fort and steel ship
building upon a large scale, there is no
room for doubling that the United States
will,rapidly forge to the front as a produc-
er of war materials. We are now build
ing steelclad ships, guns and armor. 1t
has not been many years since we could
not build either

Ex-President in Court.
From the Hartford Times (Dem.)

Ex-President Harrison's appearance to

holders of California irrigation bonds
whose validity is attacked on the ground
that their issue was unconstitutional

The Modern Congressional Prayer.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch Dem0

The chaplain of the House having full
minated his lingo prayers to his heart S
content is now turning his attention to
political and financial questions, and in
structing the Almighty on the tariff and
currency. The other day he prayed for
additional protection to American man
ufacturers' so that they might put an
end to the privations OF American work
ingmen." The nonsense his clerical fool
lets out may have the effect of abolish
ing congressional prayers. He has turned
the morning supphcation into matter for
laughter and jeers, and is making the
most solemn of religious exercises ride
ulous.

have been going little further in the

the hands of several reporters cut off, so

Since Secretary Morton took charge Of
the agricultural department he has saw
ed from the appropriations made for the
department sums OF. money which now
amount in the aggregate to about $1,4So. =
ooe. And at the end of the current fiscal
year a neat sum in addition will be ad-
ded to the savings account. Some of the
congressman have been swearing at the
secretary, under their breath, for cutting
off their seed privilege; nevertheless they
are already making arrangements for
spending the money he has saved. They
are talking about ordering the construc-
ton Of a new building for the accommo-
dalton of the department. 1t may be per-
tinent to remark that, had a republican
been in the Office, the chances are there
would have been no saving at all, but ad-
ditional appropriations for the benefit of
pc department would have been asked.

The Chicago city council has passed an
ordinance limiting the number Of dogs
any individual may keep 10 six. That is
liberal, and quite as much as ought to be
expected Of the council IT is evident that
II every individual in Chicago were to
keep even seven dogs. the prosperity Of
the city would be cndanered. SIX dogs
apiece is enough.

We want customers with money to buy
our stuff, and not merely dependents to
consume it. In order to secure these Gus

hinderers. fewer public stipendiaries. We
want peace and the enlarged and gracious
amenities and satisfaction of trade that
peace and good will alone can bring.

treasury department in keeping up gold
reserve, that all postofices be required
to forward to the treasury all of the gold
they take in during the course of BUSH

cradle sums in gold find their way into the
postoffices. The Postmaster General has
Instituted an inquiry into the amount Of
gold received and where it is deposited.

To Save Expenses.

From the Philadelphia Record (Dem)
The populists have decided to gather in
st. Louis. They might as well, however,
save hall rent by flocking with the repub-
licans. If they can affiliate as a happy
family in the senate chamber, they ought
surely to be able TO lie down beside each
other anywhere without quarreling about
the partition of the coverlets.

invocation to Divine Providence in favor

Lord in favor of lie and a swindle is
something like the action of those repub-

ing upon the record books a deliberate
falsehOod as to their politics.

The South Carolina House of Represen-
tatiyes has passed bin to repeal the
anti-emigration agent state law. The pur-
pose of the law was to prevent emigra-
ton agents from enticing colored labor
ers out of the state under all sorts Of pre-
texts. The movement towards the abro-
cation of the law would seem to indicate
that the Carolinians do not desire the
negroes to remain unless they are dispos-
ed to do so. Are the colored laborers more
faithful to their crop engagements now
than they were when the law was passed ?
