Collectors and Their Deputies

To the Editor of The Times
The reasoBs given by the revenue Off
Gals here for sustaining Collec tor Grady,
Of Virginia. are disingenuous To say che
least. The deputies give bund to the col
IectOr, and IT is as safe to trnst- an exp--
rieDced deputy as new one. Then, pay
masters and quar;ermasters of the Army
are bonded officers, Vet they must take
clerks from the civil service lists Of eligi
bics. These Army officials are just as
responsible for the acts of their clerks as
collectors are for those of their deputies.

FINANCE AND TRADE.

New YORK, Jan. t6.-R @. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says; The greatest
growth and prosperity the country had
ever seen came suddenly in 1879, after SOW
ernl months of disappointment, because
specie resumption hadnot yet brought the
benefits expected. 1t is not the largest and
most powerful vessel that can be started
most quickly, and it takes times for new
confidence to reach through easier money
markets. larger orders, resuming mills
expanding employment, and larger distri-
button, to the results which make still
greater and lasting gain possible.
Such gradual and steady improvement
has been in progress for more than two
months The output of pig iron has gained
1873 per cent. in December and 41.6 per
cent. since Oct. 1. The output Of coke has
increased SS.7 per cent. since Oct. 1. Sales
of wool have again become large, though
not yet fully reported. Money markets
feel a steady increase in demand for com.
mercial and manufacturing loans. Add
tional works have gone into operation
each week in January, and the working
force is larger than at any other time for
six months. Best Of all, there is so little
crazy excitement that the gain may be
ascribed to the deliberate judgment of the
ablest and most prudent men in business
1t is not a time of high prices. Many who
are anxious TO get an early hold on the
market are making for the moment lower
prices than they could afford to maintain.
Some have secured orders for months to
come, and begin to be less keen in COM
petition.
Failures for the week have been 400 in
the United States against 1856 for the cor
responding week last year, and II in Can
ada against 81 last year.

costs nothing TO try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack men
who never stopped TO realize what might be
the final result, ought to be deeply interested
in a remedy which will restore them TO
health, strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence of untold
misery. As the remedy i'm question was the
result of many years research as to what

would seem that all men suffering with any

Unless tho Ice Drifts Against Chambers
Island or Greon Island 1t Is Considered
Certain That the Men Are Lost-Grest
Property Loss.
MENoMIEE, Mich, Jan. 1G-Nine men
are clinging TO q block Of ice, % few rods
square, that is being driven out of Green
bay into Lake Michigan by % fierce south
erly gale. The wind is blowing thirty
miles an hour, and carries on o zero tom
perature and an occasional snow squall
The men are fishermen, clad only i'm The
none too heavy clothing worn while tend
ing their nets, and unless the ice foe has
blown against Chambers Island or Green
Island there Is little possibility that they
will survive. The doomed men are resi-
dents Of the little fishing village of Meme
kaunee, and their wives and children and
neighbors are on the mountains of ice that
fringe the beach, weeping.
The missing men are Nels Mattsou, Otto
Christensen, Ed Hoffman, Lars Larson,
Matt Halgren. Seth Jeitson, John John
son, Thomas Kuudson and Tom Lund.
Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock a strip
of ice about ten miles long, extending
south from. the mouth Of the Menominec
river, broke from the west shore and was
carried rapidly toward the east shore Of
Green bay, in the direction of Deaths
Door.
When the foe left its anchorage thir-
teen fishermen from Menekaunee were on
the ice, tending their nets, but were so far
away from the crack that by the time the
alarm had been given the crack was so
wide they could not escape to the shore.
Signals of distress were displayed, but it
was some time before they were discov-
cred, and meantime the ice had swept we'll
toward the middle of the bay. Two yawls
were manned and four men were brought
to the shore, but the others, fearing that
help could not reach them fromManistique
or Menominee, had rushed to the eastern
side of the ice, evidently intending to at
tempt to escape TO Green Island, and thus
reach Chambers Island or Door Bluff, on
the east shore Of Green bay. AS the dark
ness settled down, however, the ice could
be seen carrying well into the lake, and
fishermen think escape is impossible.
Estimates Of the number Of men on the
ice foe vary, some saying that fully forty
men were carried out into the lake, but
careful inquiry reveals but nine men
missing
Besides the loss of life that now seems
certain by the breaking up of the ice,
fishermen will lose nets, fish shnnties and
implements valued at many thousands of
dollars.
