the performance of this work during
the year 1896, the vessels OF this service
cruisad an aggregate of 3Oa ,133 nauu-
cal miles: they boarded and examined
90 $50 vessels of the merchant MARINE
Of which 645 were reported to the
nrooer authorities for violations OF the
United States customs and Navigation
laws. incurring penalties in the sum
of S210,994 1t is a part of the duty
of these coast patrols to assist yes

Treasury Department reports, help was
rendered last year to 67 vessels, with
694 persons on board, which were found
In actual distress. The pecuniary value

the services thus rendered represented
a. sum equal to 81 ,222, ,S01, which is

Photographs Of North America.

Eskimo picture writing furnishes a
topic for very interesting bulletin that
is soon to be published by the national
museum. The author is DR.. w. J. Hoff-
man. His study of the subject was
made under the auspices of the Bureau
of Ethnology, which for a number OF
years has been conducting an exhaust
i've investigation of the photographs of
North America The fact seems to be
that the Eskimo as picture-writers are
far ahead of all other aboriginal peoples
in the new world. They engrave, with
the utmost delicacy of execution, elab-
crate stories on walrus tuSks ana rem
deer horns These stories are in some
cases mere descriptions of their daily
vocations, but more often they are rec
ords of events or personal eXplolts, Oh
hunting achievements, fishing incidents,
etc. The forms of various animals are
most faithfully reproduced, especially
the walrus, the reindeer and the whale.
-sledges, snowhouses, whaling boats
and every conceivable object having re-
!ation to human life in the Arctic are
represented with surprising vivldness.
Human beings appear only as sWeleton
silhouettes, such as children draw, but
the action is often wonderfully clever.
Of course, the Eskimo are found pref
ty much all around the Arctic circle,
and the picture writing of some tribes
differs from that of others. The mater
ial generally used by the Alaskan Es-
kimo for their picturew writing is Walrus
ivory. 1t is durable and will retain the
most delicate etchings indefinitely. ror
such purposes the tusks are usually spit
into four rods, the process Of thus dlvld-
ing them longitudinally being very dell
cate. These rods. or other articles IN
tended to be engraved, are taken along
on protracted hunting expeditions, 10
be worked at during tedious hours OF
watching for game But most of the
carving is done during the long winter,
in the underground snow-hut, by the
liobt of the soapstone lamp filled with
whale oil, which serves also as a stove
keeping the interior of the dweihns d.
sitting temperature, while outside the
thermometer stands at ~ degrees OF 81
below the zero or Fahrenheit. The en-
cravings made on WalruS ivory or rem
deer horn are rendered conspicuous "
the eye by rubbing black substance
into the etched lines. ordinarily the
Eskimo employ for tnls purpose NM
of charcoal, prepared from burned giass'
powdered and mixed with oil. Inc De-
orimed hand of the owner suIIfces 70
keep the picture black afterWard. coi-
ors are similarly used. Nowadays the
natives get their pigments from trauets'
but formerly they prepared them from
mineral and vegetable substances. They
got blue from the carbonates OF IRON
and copper, green from a fungus founo
IN decayed birch and alder wood, ana
red from red chalk. From their prehis-
toric burying places are dug up nova
dsys wooden earrings that bear colors
nearly as bright as when first applieo.

many months to make. The ESKIMO u

DREDGING AND LEvEES.

Gustave Dyes, writing in the Forum
for November on the success of dredg-
Ing the Mississippi River, gives elabo-
rate statistics and considers them and
the physical facts in relation to the
treatment of the river by levee or re-
vetting embankments. His conclusions
may be of some interest in connection
with treatment of the Sacramento Riv-
er, though the conditions are not paral-
lei. He sums up his own views as fol-
lows:
Outlets in any form are inadmissible
for permanent relief of food volumes in
the Mississippi.
Cross jetties or spur dikes should be
avoided as producing irregularity in the
flow Of the current between intervals;
thereby destroying harmony of energy.
The general plan of Transforming the
river into a canal, by revetting the en-
bankments from Cairo to the Passes is
impracticable on account of the length
of time required to effect such a project,
the unavoidable distress it inf1icts upon
the lower sections while the upper ones
are placed under control, the great pri-
mary cost Of construction, and the per-
petual heavy charge for maintenance.
The system of dredging is a co-opera-
tive measure in harmony with the nat
ural laws which control the great drain
age arteries through allivion; and the
results so far obtained justify the con-
struction of dredging plant of suffi-
cient magnitude to meet the require
ments.
Congress in making appropriations for
e great national highway for navigable
commerce, confers a benefit on all the
people without discrimination or preju-
dice
If the shoals were dredged to width
OF 500 feet, by depth Of four or five
feet, through the thirtyfive or forty
miles which now obstruct navigation
between Cairo and the mouth of the
Red River, a permanent channel would
result therefrom in which high and low
water paths would coincide. That the
diminishing slope for all stages of the
river would gradually adjust itself; that
the energy required to preserve and i'm
prove the channel would be sustained,
and the food surface would be lowered
from year to year, and that, ultimately,
the entire volume would be discharged
between the natural embankments
without overflow, and in less than one
half the time required to complete the
f1etty system.

THE NEW YORK EXPERIMENT.

The Mayor-elect of New York City will
control directly 10000 positions under
salary in that city, and 10000 others
indirectly. What will be the probable
effect of a policy that places so much
power and patronage in the hands Of
one man? Especially what will be the
effect when he declares that he Will
distribute all his patronage among
those of his own political faith?
One result will be to solidify his own
party; another viii be to crystalline the
now separated elements Of the opposi-
ton to the dominant party, since Its
only hope of succeeding to control OF
the administration in that city resides
in unity and harmony. and nothing is
more conclusive to these ends than the
attitude of present minority.
Naturally the incumbent will be
moved by party and by self-interest TO
with an eye to competency and effi-
cheney that they may reflect credit upon
the new administration, and thus
strengthen the party with the people
locally.
For the same reasons the new Mayor
will be Induced to exert himself to Sc
cure for the city economic government
with the largest possible measure Of
advancement along progressive lines.
Thus we viii have, In all probability,
party government better conserving

trol-non-responsibilit to compactiy

Young Guinan who shot and killed
Attorney Jones at Carson. viii never be

blameworthy Jones was tampering
with the family of another. Himself a
married man, he was maintaining rela-
tions with the daughter of a citizen that
were improper, and in cold and iiupu-
dent defiance of the commands Of the
head of the family.
He evidently courted trouble. for the
testimony at the inquest was that
when the girl warned him of the anger
of her father and of his approach, he
replied that if there was TO be trouble
it was as well TO have it then and
there. Such effrontery is unparalleled.
The fellow outraged every sentiment of
decency, and deliberately invited tue
father TO shoot him. 1t amounted to
just that and nothing less. Instead, the
young son of DR.. Guinan fired from a
distance and with deadly aim. All the
talk about the young man avenging
the honor of his sister is silly. She
is a woman of &c, was associating
with Jones in defiance of parental con-
mand and with the full knowledge that
the man was married and had family.
No sympathy is to be wasted on her.
But her conduct in no wise excused
Jones. He was an impudent rake. lie
invited death by violence, and his in
vitation was accepted. No regrets will
be wasted over the body of such man.
But his murderer will never be pun
ished, for though the law is explicit. no

1t is reported by wire that the note Of
the Spanish Government to the United
States regarding the conditions in Cuba
and the neutrality laws and the war
going on in that fated island is Of such
pacificatory nature, is so we'll timed,
so friendly or adroit that there is no
room for any exception to be taken to it
whatever. Therefore the United States
can take no action relative to interfer-
ence in the Cuban insurrection, and
consequently the American Government
will attend strictly to its own business
and let the combatants fight it out
while we enforce the neutrality laws
rigidly. This will be discomforting t1
friends of the demand for the recognl-
ton of the belligerency of the insur-
gents. Following on the heels of this
news is a dispatch from Madrid, say
ing that the Competitor prisoners, at
the conclusion of their trial, are to be
set at liberty, which will be taken as
an act of grace intended to placate the
United States. Just why, we are unable
to understand however. But there is a
line in the dispatch that is significant.
1t is said that the British Consul at
Havana had interposed a hot protest
against summary proceedings, or any
execution of two of the crew Of the
Competitor, who, though taken under
the American flag, are British subjects
That may account for the milk in the
cocoanut. When Britain rises up and
demands that her subjects be handled
gently by other nations all the earth
does obeisance. We may reasonably
conclude, therefore, that the growl of
the Lion rather than the scream Of the
Eagle brought out the gracious elem
ency of the Spanish crown. That is by
no means comforting. A demand for
fair play for American citizens abroad
ought to command as much respect
from other foreign Powers as does the
interposing arm of Great Britain-but
it does not.

invested with such unusual power
public station is not a trust, but a spoil
OF political triumph; if he conducts the
government with an eye single to party
advancement rather than with a set
purpose to accomplish the highest pos
slble good for the people of his city,
he will not only imperdl his party but
assure his watchful foes triumph in the
next contest for municipal control
1t would seem, therefore, that this
experiment of investing one person
with great power, a man representing
radical party organization, ought to
make for good government, economy
and progressiveness of administration,
and thus serve public interests more
than party purposes, since all induce
to make the Democracy of New York
City jealous of any procedure that will
puts its victory in peril, or open the
joints of it's party armor through which
its Republican and Independent foes
may thrust a lance to it's undoing in

The Tulare Register" referring to
the agitation in Missouri over the pro-
posed anti-lobbying law, says that lob
bying in its original significance is not
wrong or harmful. That is true. II
is and should be the right as we'll as
the privilege Of citizens who wish to do
so to address the Legislatures of the
States their committees or their MEM
bers, with reasons for and against
measures proposed. That is within the
limitations of free speech and free crit
icisn. 1t is only when lobbying, prop
er in itself, becomes chicane, bribery,
trickery, falsehood, unholy trading,
threatening coercion, money persuasion.
etc, that it becomes vicious. There
was a good deal of suggestive strength
in the proposition mooted few years
ago to license men as lobbyists to op-
pose or to advocate measures before
are retained to defend or oppose in
causes before courts. The difficulty that
would seem to interpose is that men SO
hired would not exercise much infiu-
ence or command sober hearings be-
cause of the very fact that they had
only fee interests" in the matter pre-
sented. AS it is now, the regular lob
byist who haunts legislative halls is a
nuisance. Generally, he has not one
half the power attributed to him. A
few, through combinations and trades,
have acquired a reputation for skill
that serves them as capital we'll. But,
as a rule the professional lobbyist,
while nuisance, is losing his hold upon
the business of lobbying. To condemn
the practice by law, as proposed in
Missouri, will not avail much. Indeed,
we are not SO sure that publicity AMI
openness under the law in lobbying
would be better for all the people con-
cerned
