Minister McLane has sailed for France,
and a number of his fellow citizens saw him
off, bestowing on him their best wishes.
Marylanders, without distinction of party,
feel just pride that their Governor should
have been honored by the President with
so important a mission, and predict for him
a creditable diplomatic career.
The United Slates Minister to Russia,
whoever he may be, will have to exercise
all the diplomatic arts of which he is mas
ter to keep the United States free of entan
glements in case Engl and and Russia cross
swords. It may be that General Lawton
is well out of what might have proven a
very disagreeable situation.
One year has elapsed since the firip of
Grant and Ward collapsed, and the subse
quent failure of the Marine Bank caused
something like a panic to overspread the
country. The effects of these failures lasted
through the summer and fall, and money lay
idle because investors did not know whom to
trust. The fact that the feeling of doubt and
uncertainty has almost wholly passed away,
and that confidence has been restored in
such a short time, is another evidence of the
vast recuperative powers of this country.
. Grant’s improvement has been so rapid
that he is now being spoken of as a Repub
lican Presidential candidate in 1888. The
Democrats woul 1 have no cause of regret if
he shoull be selected as the Radical stand
ard bearer. He might possibly command
,the votes of the famous 306 and their
friends, but there his strength would stop.
The country wants no third term President,
but even -if it did it woul Ibe unwilling to
trust its business interests to an ex-member
of the jflrm of Grant & Ward.
There were fourteen funerals in the vil
lage of Plymouth, Penn, on Monday after
noon, and the fever epidemic is said to be
spreading to neighboring towns. This con
dition was brought on by entire disregard
of all sanitary precautions, and at last after
the horse has been stolen, the place is being
cleaned and the stable door is shut.
“But, remarks the New York Times,
“while the scavengers are carting away the
refuse, thelistof victim) it growing linger,
the trade of the place is paralyzed,and many
people ere seeking new homes tlsewhere.
There is a lesson in economy in the condi
tion of the village. The epidemic has
blighted the place and deprived it of ten
years’ growth. How much cheaper it would
have been to spend a little money in sim] le
sanitary measures.”
Louisiana’s junior Senator, Hon. James
Biddle E istis, is dissatisfied with President
Cleveland. He thinks that the adminis
tration has been too ha If-heartened in
removing Radical office holders from place,
and that “the fact that a horde of unscrup
ulous ignorant, dyed-in-ther-wool, and oflen
sively partisan radical leaders are permitted
to remain in office all over the country
under Democratic rule, and in direct
violation and contradiction of the very
principles.of Democracy and the wishes of
a majority of the people as expreised at the
ballot-box, is a shame and a disgrace and a
reflection on the competency, capability,
and character of those whose suffrages
placed Mr. Cleveland in the White House.”
Mr. Eustis regrets very much being forced
to make this statement, but he should not
feel badly. He is only expressing his
individual opinion, and that he has a per
fect right to do. It is needless to say that
the Democratic party have not made up
their minds yet to agree with him by any
means.

THE WAR SITUATION.
It seems to be as difficult as aver to
arrive at the truth concerning the war sit
uation in Europe. From our despatches of
Wednesday afternoon,the conclusion was only
to be reached that war was inevitable, and
that a hostile outbreak between England
and Russia was but the question of a few
days. From yesterday’s reports, however,
it looked as if matters had assumed a more
pacific aspect. The rumored occupation of
Metchuah by the Russians was denied,
and the explanation of General Komarofl
for the affair on the Kusk river, leading
to the occupation of Pendjeh—in which he
places all the fault of that engagement
upon the ignorance of the officers under
him of the orders which had been issued to
him by the Czar—wis made public.
It must strike the average man, however
as very singular that this could have been
the case. General Komarofl' admits that he
had received strict orders from his Govern
ment to refrain from making any forward
movement pending the settlement of the
Russo-Afghan frontier dispute, and says
that he had endeavored to carry out his
instructions in good faith, but the officers
under liim had not been advised of the
Government’s wishes, ar.d so diu not act
with the same precaution to avoid a fight as
they should have done. What an absurd
statement. Those orders were sent to Kom
aroffto be transmitted to his army, and if he
failed to do so, but kept them locked up in
his own breast, he was guilty either of a
very loose system of commanding his army,
or of gross disrespect to his Government.
His excuse is manifestly most lime and im
potent, and is hardiy worthy of credence.
If he had failed to transmit to his officers
the orders he had received, and they, in
face of these orders, precipitated a con
flict, he is as guilty himself of dis
obedience to his Emperor as if he had
deliberately ordered the attack on the
Afghans in person, and any Government in
the world would have held him responsible
therefor. The fact that the Czar did not hold
him so responsible and order a court martial
to try him, that the evacuation of Pendjeh
has not been made, and that the Russian
forces, so far from resuming their status quo
before the conflict, arc making preparations
to move further towards Herat, furnish very
strong circumstantial evidence thatKomaroff
acted with the sanction of the Czar; that
Russia deliberately violated her solemn
pledges to England, and that all the expla
nations she has given for her conduct have
been only so many efforts to gain time, and
blind the British Ministry to her ultimate
designs.
That Mr. Gladstone has his eyes open,
and is watching *he Czar, however, is very
11 lin’y shown by his recent speech in the
House of Commons, and that Parliament
has awakened to the necessity of upholding
his hands to the fullest extent, is evidenced
by the promptnesi and liberality with which
his request for a vote of credit was complied
with a few days since. It may be that these
grclws of tl e Lion will have the effect of
causing the Bear to hesitate in his reckless
ness and cause him to move more
si wly in his forward movement to
wards India. Still, sooner or later,
without outside interference to prevent it’
the war must come. The restlessness of the
army of the Czar, the dissatisfaction of his
subjects at home and his own ambitious de
signs upon Constantinople will not permit
him to keep quiet. If war is averted for
the present it will only be a delay of the
evil day, and it is safe to predict that it will
break out at no distant period if Hia Rus
sian Majesty has any idea that he can safely
resist the strain it will impose upon his re
sources.
WHERE THE MONEY WENT.
The United States war steamer Florida,
which has been rotting for several years at
the grass-grown Lethean docks of the New
London yards, is being broken up and carted
away by a junk dealer, who paid less than
$50,000 for the hulk. The Florida cost the
government $1,800,000. She was a swift
vessel, but her machinery was so powerful
that she could not carry coal enough to run
her across the ocean. She never made but
one little trip. After this exploit she was
tied up at the Brooklyn yard and the rotting
process began. The first cost and expenses
of this ship represent an outlay of at least
$2,200,000. For this the Government has
less than $50,000 to show.
“This,” remarks the Manchester Union,“was
one of the efforts of Republican administra
tion to furnish the country with a navy, and
yet as the story is told to-day the wicked
Democratic party is responsible because of
the feebleness of our naval defenses.”
The Philadelphia Times thinks that the
Republican Senate will, at the earliest op
portunity, take occasion to declare that all
Southern men embraced within the scope of
the third section of the fourteenth amend
ment are ineligible to the public offices
named therein, unless their disabilities have
been removed by Congress, and that in this
position the votes of the pardoned and re
habililitated Senators from Virginia will be
cast with the Radicals. This is quite likely,
and there is no doubt the “pardoned and
rehabitated” Mahone and Riddleberger will
do whatever they can to degrade and em -
barrass respectable Southern men. But
may not the United States Supreme Court
decide that the Radicals and their con
genial friends, the Virginia Repudiators,
are not fitting nor correct expounders of con
stitutional law ?

THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES: FRIDAY MAY 1. 1885.
OUR NAVIGATION LAWS.
The folly of our navigation laws may very
soon be put to a severe test. Should war
break out between England and Russia,
British bottoms will be rated so high that
they will be practically driven out Os the
carrying trade and will depreciate materi
ally in value. The laws of the United
States, however, do not permit ships built
abroad to be purchased for American regis
try, and no vessel not built in the United
States can carry the American flag.
The cheapness with which ships can be
built abroad has, on account of this law,
nearly driven the American flag from the
high seas, and yet the law has been allowed
to stand on the theory that it tends to stim
ulate American ship building. Hence it
follows that if, by reason of the heavy risks
incidental to British shipping by a war, it
may not be considered prudent to trust the
commerce of the world to British bottoms,
and so a large number of foreign-built ships
shall be thrown upon the market at a mere
song, no American ship owner could pur
chase any of them. He would have to sit
quietly by and see other countries make
valuable investments in such property,while
he would be debarred from any benefits or
profits which might accrue therefrom.’’
If the laws to prohibit foreign built ships
from being used in this country, and from
carrying the American flag are permitted
to remain on our statute books, in the
event of an Anglo-Russian war, nothing but
harm can result, and the United States
will deliberately throw away a magnificent
opportunity to recover their lost prestige
in the commercial world. Commerce is
business, and business is very far removed
from sentiment, No matter how patriotic
a man may be, if he wishes to carry on
the shipping business with foreign ports, he
will either build his ships where he can do
so to the greatest advantage, or
he will buy where he can buy
the cheapest. In either event American
shipping is injured, and so far from an in
dustry which might prove a very valuable
one to a large class of American citizens
being stimulated it is crippled and paralyzed.
Congress should lose no time in repealing
our navigation laws which have not only
already stimulated our merchant marine
out of existence, but which threaten to des
troy an excellent opportunity for regain
ing our lost position on the high seas. It
has been abundantly proven that no one is
going to build ships in this country just for
the pleasure of doing so. If he cannot pro
fitably purchase or build abroad he will go
out of the business altogether. It has long
been a matter of universal comment
that a sight of the stars
and stripes in foreign commercial
ports is, comparatively speaking, rare,
and one of the greatest advantages
which would result to the United States
by this anticipated war would be the stim
ulus which their merchant marine would
receive. It looks like sheer folly—to say
nothing of the very unbusiness like nature
of such a proceeding—for this opportunity
to be allowed to pass unimproved.
The Philadelphia Bulletin speaks of
Gen. Lawton as an ex-rebel. The Bulletin
either knows very little of the principles of
our Government or is wonfully ignorant of
Gen. Lawton’s status. He is not eld enough
to have served in the revolutionary war,
and the last of the American ex rebe's died
with the last of those who, in 1776, rebelled
agairst their anointed Lord and Sovereign
George 111.
What “Old Fritz” Said.
It was an aphorism of Frederick the
Great's that “facts are divine things.” An
undisputed fact is that Dr. Pierce’s “Golden
Medical Discovery” is the most powerful
liver vitalizer extant, and by its character
istic and searching action will cure dyspepsia,
constipation, dropsy, kidney disease, sick
headache, and other maladies which, popular
opinion to the contrary notwithstanding, are
directly traceable to a diseased condition of
the liver, by which its work as purifier of
the blood is made incomplete. All drug
