The Chicago Times declares that there
never was anything more absurd than
the tariff plank in the platform adopted by
the Pennsylvania Democratic State Con

that part of it which favors a tariff “so
adjusted as to encourage productive in

prevent unequal burdens?’ The Times
says “as well talk of putting a man on a
mule, and then adjusting the mule’s load
so that man and mule will bear an equal
burden." The illustration is apt and
forcible.

tives to suppress the exuberance of pa
triotism that prompts so many people to
wish to obtain samples of the nation’s
magnificent capitol.

and be educated to hear and talk as other

the Georgia Academy for the Blind, firmlv
believes that idiots can be so educated as
to make them usoful and self-sustaining
meinliersof society. ' He lias studied the
question thoroughly, and it is to be hojied

An Atlanta Soldiers' Home.
Gen. Jno. B. Gordon has been doing
noble work in raising funds for the estab
lishing of the Confederate Soldiers’ Home
at Richmond. The success of that great
charity can now be considered assured.
As Chairman cf the Central Committee in
New York for raising money for homes
for disabled Confederate soldiers,
he has written a letter to Gov.
McDaniel informing him that the
plans of the committee have
been enlarged so as to provide for the
building of a soldiers' home In addition to
the one at Richmond. It is proposed that
the second home -hall be located at At
lanta. It has been discovered that one
home will be entirely insufficient to pro
vide for the old and disabled soldiers, and
that two will be required to give comfort
able homes to all who are entitled to
them.
The Central Committee has elected a
committee for Georgia, which is already
at work in Atlanta, and a grand mass
meeting is to be held in the interest of the
Atlanta home in a short time. So far the
south lias not taken the interest in this
matter that it deserves, but it is safe to
sa> that the Southern people will do
their whole duty and contribute liberally
t" the noble object in view.
The choice of Atlanta as the site for
one of the proposed homes is a good one.
It i- centrally located, lias a good climate,
can furnish provisions at the lowest
prices, and is a thrifty town whose peo
ple will give their aid towards building
and sustaining the home. It should lie
est< emed a privilege on the part of the
people of the whole South to help in the
good work. As for Savannah, her citi
zens never fail of their duty in any noble
and patriotic cause, and they can be
relied on to do their part. The Atlanta
work is now under the manage
ment of Captains John Milledge,
and R. J. Lowry, most worthy gentlemen.
A permanent organization will soon be
effected, and no doubt nearly every city
and town in the South will eventually
have Confederate Veteran organizations
to aid in building and sustaining the
houses for the disabled and helpless sol
diers. The South will not leave it en
tirely lo the charity of the Northern peo
ple, who are now making most liberal
contributions, to establish and support
these homes. The sum necessary for the
purposes proposed will be large, but it
can be obtained easily if the proper effort
is made.
Let the press aud the people of the
South raise their voice in behalt of these
noble institutions, and let every commu
nity organize to render substantial aid.
l ast Mail Service.
Postmaster General Gresham Is ex
acted at Jacksonville, Florida, this week.
He has been strongly urged to recommend
an appropriation for the continuance of
fast mail service on the Atlantic Coast
line. His trip over this lino may con
vince him that this fast mail service is a
necessity to the people of Charleston,
Savannah, Jacksonville aud the adjacent
country. Not long ago he arranged for a
fast mail service for the section of coun
try northwest of Chicago—a section
that already enjoyed exceptionally
line mail facilities. Why should this
section be neglected while that
is given additional advantages? The
Boston Herald, in a late issue, called the
Postmaster General's attention to the in
justice ot denying to the lower Atlantic
coast n-gi'.n p- -tal advantages which the
people appreciate so highly, and which
they cannot conveniently do without.
The //• -I M directed attention to the fact
that as late as March there were 50,000
visitors in Florida from Northern and
Western States. A great many of Florida’s
visitors are business men. who are obliged
to keep a close supervision of their busi
ness affairs l>y means of the telegraph
and mail. The withdrawal of the fast
mail service would be a great de
privation to them. The average
number of letters which daily
leave Washington on the Atlantic Coast
Line for the South is 12,590. Surely this
number is sufficient to justify a fast mail
service. The time between Boston and
Jacksonville is now only 44 hours. If the
fast mail is discontinued the time will be
increased to CO hours. So great a delay
beyond the present time is not pleasant to
think of, and is certain to be attended
with serious business embarrassments.
All the relations of the people with the
coast line mails are now adjusted to the
present condition of affairs. The people
have a right to look for improvement in the
mail service whenever such improvement
is jiossible. They certainly ought not to
be deprived of the advantages they
already have.
Killing at Government Expense.
Not many years ago Attorney General
Williams, better known as Landaulet
Williams, was run out of Washington by
the newspapers because he appropriated
a government carriage to his private use.
Times have changed. The use of a gov
ernment carriage by an official for private
purposes is no longer the occasion for
scandal. It is alleged tiiat thousands of
dollars are Bi<ent annually by the govern
ment to furnish not only heads of depart
ments, but also heads of bureaus and
chief clerks, with carriages. It
is said to be not an unusual thing
to see the family of a Cabinet
officer taking a pleasure ride in a govern
ment carriage. It must not be supposed
that these carriages are cheap and
rickety like the famous Williams
landaulet. They are the finest that
money can buy. Last year the Interior
Department purchased a six-seated rock
away for which S7OO was paid. If YViil
iams were a Cabinet officer now he could
use a government carriage to take his
family shopping, visiting or on pleasure
trips without fear of criticism. He would
lie laughed at if he showed any scru
ples in the matter. The Republican
party has been in power so long that Re
publican officials act as if they owned the
property of the government. That delicate
sense of honor which once characterized
the conduct of officials in their public
capacity is fast disappearing. It is full
time that the Republican party was re
tired from power. It has not only broken
down nearly all constitutional barriers,
but it has introduced reprehensible prac
tices into official life. It has done more
damage in one way and another than the
Democratic party, it it should come into
power next March, could repair in a
quarter of a century.
Public Buildings at "Washington.
The government is all the time putting
out new branches. Notwithstanding the
size and number of the government build
ings at Washington, they do not contain
sufficient room to accommodate all the
government employes there. Not long ago
the Post Office Department rented an ad
joining building in order to provide ac
commodations for a part of its force.
The Pension Office, which is a part of the
Interior Department, has long occupied a
rented building. A magnificent structure,
however, will soon be completed for pen
sion purposes. The treasury building is
not large enough to meet the needs of the
Treasury Department, and branches of
that department are located in rented
buildings in different parts ol
the city. A few days ago
a bill passed the House creating
a Bureau of Labor Statistics, and on last
Tuesday a bill passed the House creating
another bureau, to be known as the Bu
reau of Navigation. Doubtless the action
of the House in both cases will meet with
the of the Senate. These new
branches will have to be furnished with
quarters somewhere, and as there are no
places for them under the roofs already
owned by the government new buildings
will have to be erected. The departments
of the government grow as rapidly as the
country grows. The outlook is that the
work of constructing public buildings in
Washington is nowhere near completed.
In fact, there is no present indication that
it will ever be completed. A Con
gressional library building must be
erected in the near future, and an Execu
tive Mansion built. Already there is talk
that the capitol is too small, and it is not
improbable that before many years there
will be a demand for anew capitol build
ing.
The report comes from lowa that the
parties in that State are respectively for
Tllden and Blaine—mostly for Blaine.
An Episode in Comptroller Knox’s
Cffreor.
Comptroller of the Currency Knox,
having been shown to be entirely guilt
less of the charges brought against him.
has resigned. His resignation is an
nounced in our dispatches this morning.
He lias accepted the Presidency of a New
York bank, where he has a larger salary
and less work than he had as Comptroller.
An interesting episode in Mr. Knox’s
career occurred in New Orleans in 1867.
lie was a bank examiner then and was
sent to New Orleans to examine into the
condition of the Crescent City National
Bank. He discovered that the bank was
insolvent. The directors were men of
large means and were at that time engaged
in various promising enterprises. They
believed that thur enterprises would
turn out successfully and, in that case, a
large amount of securities held by the
bank would lie worth ] ar, and would
make the bank i*erfectly solvent. They
wanted time and were willing to pay a
big sum to secure a report
to the Treasury that the bank was all
right. One ot the directors —a man who
has since been mentioned in connection
with the star route frauds, but who has
not been indicted —was selected to ap
proach Knox and buy bis silence respect
ing the bank’s condition. The sum
of SIOO,OOO was placed at his dis
posal for that purpose. He
thought Knox could be bought for
less than that and determined to put one
half of the amount in his own pocket. lie
invited Knox to a line lisli dinner at Mill
neburg, at that time the most famous
resort for lisli dinners on Lake
Ponchartrain. After an excellent
dinner, and when coffee and ci
gars were being enjoyed, the director
offered Knox $50,000 to report the bank as
sound. Knox looked at his tempter a mo
ment, rose from the table, and said: “Do
you know that you have committed a
penitentiary offense? I ought to have
you punished.” He returned to the city
immediately, and next day started for
Washington. He reported the bank
as insolvent, and its doors were
quickly closed. He spated the man
who attempted to bribe him. The director
himself, however, related the whole
affair to the Secretary of the Treasury a
few months afterwards. The tempter
and the tempted did not meet again until
a year ago last summer. They were both
at a great clam bake in .Connecticut,
where there was a large number of New
York bankers and brokers. Time had
greatly changed both of them. The New
Orleans director being called on for
a speech, gave an account of his
unsuccessful attempt to bribe Knox with
SSO.iMX). Knox's refusal of that bribe helped
to advance him in the Treasury, and,
probably helped to make him President of
the Pacific National Bank of New Y'ork.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Don’t Affect the Party.
Washington Pott Pern.).
The action of the Democratic deserters no
more affects the policy of the Democratic
partv than does the conduct of the six Repub
licans influence the status of their party.
That there happens to be more discordant
Democrats than disagreeing Republicans has
no bearing ujion tin: well-defined policy of
either.
Silly Republican Twaddle.
Philadelphia Press Hep.).
Mahone, of Virginia, has a perfect right to
oppose Blaine; nobody disputes that. But
he should understand that it is going to take
-tronger weapons than vituperative verbosity
to defeat Mr. Blaine this year. Likewise, he
-hould know that tiie plaint of the spoilsman
availeth not iu these halcyon days of civil
service reform.
Sentiment a Poor Reason.
Boston Post ( Dtm .).
Sentiment is indeed a very poor reason for
nominating a man for the highest office in the
people’s gift, and a still poorer reason for
electing him. But if it is a party’s only capi
tal, why it must do the best it can with it;
and certainly on that -ingle consideration,
tiiat one forlorn hope. Robert I.i nrolu hugs
the pole more closely than any other man.
Best .Joke of the Seasofi.
Sashtille American \Dcni.).
The strength of Blaine's position over
Arthur's is that in the case of the former
“the office is seeking the man,” and in the
case of the latter “the man is socking the
office.” Mr. Blaine is doing nothing to secure
the office, while Mr. Arthur has the entire
internal revenue army at work in wards,
precincts, and at cross roads, getting them
selves appointed as delegates to Chicago.
Democrats for the Great Reform.
Boston Advertiser (Hep.).
It looks as if the Democratic pafty would
be, as a whole, both for and against civil ser
vice reform—against it in Ohio and Massa
chusetts, for it (or at least not against it) in
Washington and New York; just as it is for
and against “revenue reform,” for and against
economy in the public expenditures, for and
against every kind of reform except that
which consists in turning Republicans out of
office and putting Democrats in.

Mil. PARNELL’S AVOIIK.
The Irish Agitator Denying that he is to
Resign His Readership.
If auy one in the United States is labor
ing under the delusion that Mr. Charles
Stewart Parnell has any intention of
resigning his leadership of the Irish Na
tionalist party, says a London special to
the Philadelphia Times, that person should
be promptly undeceived. A’rumor to that
effect having been started in London,'and
having received currency by publication
in the Daily News, a correspondent went
to ascertain from Mr. Parnell himself the
truth or falsity of this assertion. The corre
spondent found Mr. Parnell very comfort
ably established at the Imperial Hotel in
Crk. One of the three rooms which he
occupies bore a strong resemblance to a
committee room in the height of a politi
cal campaign, and Mr. Parnell was found
busily occupied in the intervals left to
him between calls by local magnates and
politicians dictating to a stenographer
replies to a mass of correspondence which
lay upon the table.
Mr. Parnell never looked better in his
life. He was obviously in the most ro
bust health and his whole air and man
ner was radiant and redolent of spring
time. His attire was faultless, even to
the dainty boutonniere on the lapel of his
rutaway coat. In answer to a question
as to his reported resignation of the lead
ership, Mr. Parnell laughed and said:
“Does this look like it? No; 1 have so
Jittle intention of leaving the post to
which my friends have called me that I
have within the past week made engage
ments which will occupy the next live
years of my life.”
“A"ou have not then made any move to
ward resigning your leadership?”
“No; and I distinctly authorize you to
state, especially to my friends in America,
that I have no intention of doing so.”
“What are the chances of the successor
your campaign in Parliament?”
“As favorable as can be. The Irish Na
tional League sustained me by an over
whelming vote at its esnvention last Fri
day, and I have every reason to believe
that the principles which I represent will
have a larger following this year than
ever before. The Irish party is’becoming
a very potent factor in the'English Par
liament, and you will soon sec that its
power is greater than has ever before been
supposed.”
A Town Sinking Into the Earth.
A special of the 20th inst. from Saline
ville, Ohio,says: Intense excitement was
caused here yesterday afternoon by the
discovery that a large section of the town
was slowly sinking into the earth. For
many years Salineville has been a great
coal mining centre. The town stands on
an immense hill, which is undermined by
several large coal banks. The ground
immediately over Kirk’s mines was ob
served to crack and break in several
places, and persons living in that section
of the town were startled to find their
yards and houses sinking into the ground,
and also discovered that the wells had no
bottoms. Many people moved to safer
quarters.
There are no developments to-day. It
is feared the new school house, a three
story structure, will be destroyed, and
parents say they will not allow their chil
dren to attend school to-morrow. Great
anxiety exists.

MAHONE’S DOOM.
Incongruities of the Jeannette Investi
gation— Ex-Marshal Fitzgimons.
Washington, April 22.— One of the
soothing results of the last Congressional
elections wa6 the defeat in Virginia of
Mahone. One of the most promising out
looks of the coming Presidential election
is the very likely wiping out of Mahoneisra
in entirety. Mahone’s strength now rests
simply and alone upon Federal patron
age and his recognition l>y President
Arthur. As the head of the
Republican party, this recognition has
carried with it the practical indorsement
of Mahoneism by that organization. The
man in Virginia" who was most put down
by Mahone’s aseendany was John F. De
zendort, a straight-out Republican, and
who was a member of the last House.
This gentleman has never ceased to fight
Mahone. Though discouraged by his
party out of the State, he has been most
active in combating the Virginia boss.
He characterized Mahone in a conversa
tion w ith your correspondent to-day as not
a “leader Hut a driver.” Mr. Dezendorf
thinks that Mahone’s days of using the
whip are practically over. He says that
the Republican Convention at Chicago
will he the next heavy blow to that Lilli
putian dictator. It will he a blow, he
says, that will presage Mahone’s total
overthrow in Virginia. And it really
looks that wav. The lfnes between the
straightout Republicans in the State and
the Re adjusters are as distinctly drawn
as are' the boundary markings
between the Democratic party
and either of the two first
named organizations. The straight-out
Republicans are going to send a set of
delegates to the Republican Convention.
So are the followers of Mahone. The for
mer have held larger and more enthusi
astic meetings than they have for years.
The latter have not the hurrah of success,
and are somewhat lukewarm. The
straight-out Republican delegates will Ik*
for Blaine. The Mahone crowd will, of
course, go to Chicago with the Arthur col
lar on. It will he composed principally of
office holders who are compelled to return
payment in this kind for the pap which
they have so eagerly devoured. AV'hich of
the two delegations" will be admitted will
be a question of a good deal of interest.
THE DEVELOPMENTS BEING MADE
by the committee which is investigating
the loss of the Arctic steamer Jeannette
are in the main not unexpected. It has
long been known among those who have
been brought in contact with naval
officers that there were bickerings, petty
quarrels and small persecution on hoard
that vessel before she was abandoned,
and among her people after she went
down. Your correspondent wrote this
very fully while the 'naval hoard
of inquiry was investigating the matters
of the exjiedition. when men
are thrown together in such close quar
ters for months, it is to be expected that
there will be more or less of difference.
8o situated, people really get tired of
looking at each other. All this creates no
surprise. But members of the Congres
sional committee now investigating are
surprised at one thing. They have all
read the report of the board
of inquiry. There is nothing in
that repo’rt or in the evidence
accompanying it, which even hints at the
things now being officially made public.
And the same witnesses were examined
by the court of inquiry as are now testi
fying hetore the Congressional committee.
The memlters of the latter don’t see how
such things can he. One of them told me
to-day tiiat he was going to try and de
vise ’some plan by which courts of
inquiry shall be compelled to real
ly inquire. He will find it a hard
thing to do. If he should succeed
it would he the only valuable or even use
ful result of the Jeannette venture. He
will have to overcome the present and
ancient spirit of the navy. The inherited
policy of its officers is to keep, if possible,
all facts in the background which tend
to the discredit of the navy. They would
bury deep down all evidenced incapacity
or hasty and bad judgment among its
officers.' Courts of inquiry like that con
vened to look into the Jeannette
business are different from
courts-martial. They are by no
means organized to convict: they are
convened to shield the good name of
the service. The committee in its report
upon what the pending investigation de
velops will have something to say on this
subject.
EX-MARSHAL FITZSIMOXS,
of Georgia, has, through his agent here,
been having the accounts and vouchers
connected withhisadministtratlonof that
office looked into and gone over. The work
is not yet completed, hut Mr. A. J. Falls,
the agent referred to, says that all will
come out straight. Col. Fitzsimous takes
the course that he now does because of
the charges made against his administra
tion of the Marshal’s office at Atlanta tie
fore *the Springer committee, when that
body first commenced its grist. Like
most of the matter developed by that
committee, the allegations concerning
Col. Fitzsimons were old, and have re
peatedly found their way into the prints.
It should he remembered that Col. Fitz
simons was not removed on account of
them, and, in fact, was not removed at all.
FORTUNE’S CHANGES.
The Goo:i Fortune of a Governess.
Mr. James R. Randall, in writing from
Washington to the Augusta Chronicle,
says? A lady said to me recently: “Of
course, wonders never cease and social
transformations are of too frequent occur
rence, especially since the war, to attract
much attention or surprise; but I had an
adventure to-day that may be worth tell
ing. Twenty years ago, my parents were
rich and lived in splendor at the South.
I had a governess, a young, pretty and
most estimable girl, but poor and depen
dent. During the war our house was
burned by Gen. Sheridan and at the close
of hostilities, we were penniless. I
married a rich man of a distinguished
family; but he is worse than dead now.
My riches took wings and flew
away, and, worst ot all, my children
are in the grave. Perhaps 1
should say best of a11,.10r they are surely
in heaven, because they were incapable
of sin. I have for a long time supported
myself by hard labor with a pen. I Rave
had to dutifully help others. There came
to-day a very handsome lady to visit me.
She alighted from a magnificent equipage.
It was her own. She was attired in one
of Worth's miraculous dresses. Diamonds
glittered in her ears that cost thousands
of dollars. She was the wife of one of the
most eminent of politicians and one too
who possessed millions of money. She
was a princess, so to speak, and a most
happy one. Fortune had been kind
to her every way. I did not recognize
her at first, but soon discovered that it
was my governess of old days! She had
hunted me up, not to triumph over me or
display her grandeur, but because she
loved me and wished to serve me. She
merited her luck and was one of a million
who got what she deserved. And so, I
pray that God may bless her beyond this
world as He has blessed her in it. But
little did I dream ‘twenty golden years
ago’ that the proud were to be humbled
and the humble exalted.”
