PUBLIC OFFICE A PUBLIC TRUST.
Public office is a public trust, and so the
President .the other day removed Captain
Jarvis Patten, and appointed Colonel Charles
Morton of Angnsta, Maine, in his place as
commissioner of navigation. This office is
one created by Congress two years ago with
the purpose to have in Washington a bureau
which would pay special attention to the de
cadence of our marine interests, collect facts,
investigate the execution of the laws in rela
tion to navigation, and make an annual re
port to the Secretary of the Treasury con
cerning needed improvements and amend
ments to our navigation laws. He is the
only officer under the government who has
this matter direetly in charge. The bill pro
viding for this office was put through Con
gress by Senator Frye and Congressman
Dingley, and, in accordance with their rec
ommendations, Mr. Jarvis Patten was ap
pointed commissioner. Mr. Patten has been
a ship owner and shipmaster, and the re
ports which he has made to the Secretary of
the Treasury have been valuable.
Colonel Morton has, it appears, been look
ing for an office for some time. He is a
good Democratic worker, but it is not
claimed that he- knows anything about the
navigation laws or about the shipping indus
try. The Boston Advertiser thus speaks of
the President in this matter: When it comes
to turning out efficient Republicans and put'
ting in inefficient Democrats, simply because
the latter are Democrats and the former Re
publicans, the time has surely come to con
demn it as it deserves. If Mr. Cleveland
keeps on going down hill, as he has been do
ing the last six months, those who have put
their confidence in his disposition to adhere
to his declaration that public office is a public
trust will be obliged to admit that he has
not the firmness with which they have cred
ited him.
This case deserves attention. Captain
Patten has done his work well, and is turned
out to make room for a good Democrat.
Thus does a great reform make progress.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Boston boys are sometimes too smart. A
lad in South Boston having handed his teach
er a note reading, ''Licking don't do this
boy no good; talk to him," provoked an in
quiry that led to the discovery that he had
himself written the note.
An interesting move has been made by
some colored people who live in Pittsburg
and Allegheny, Pennsylvania. They have
begun to organize a large retail co-operative
business concern, asking only members of
their own race to subscribe.
The way the recent crazy speculation in
mining stock struck the people of small
means in San Francisco is indicated by the
fact that during its progress $10,000,000 have
been drawn from the savings banks of the
city. Probably little of it will get back.
Organ grinding is more of a business than
many think. The organ grinders of New
York have a trade union composed of 883
members. ' They parcel out the city into
routes, as newspaper carriers and milkmen
do, and when a man dies or goes home to
Italy his route is sold to the highest bidder,
the proceeds going into a general fund. The
grinders average three or four dollars a day.
Several of the manufacturers of knit goods
in Cohoes have refused to obey the orders of
their own association, and have opened their
mills when they had agreed to close them,
and have forfeited $5,000 each as a penalty.
The explanation of their course is that each
of them thought he could make more than
$5,000 by resuming business. Such com
binations will perhaps not prove much more
effective than combinations of laborers.
The inhabitants of prisons in the United
States number 57,331, of whom 53,739 are
at work and the remainder idle. By sexes
convicts are 48,838 males and 3,901 females.
The number of convicts working under the
contract system is 14,939, or a trifle over 26
per cent. The contract system has more
than any other class excepting those em
ployed on what is called public account, and
15 per cent, are engaged in prison duties.
The value of the product of manufactured
goods produced in prisons and of work done
by convicts bears a small proportion to the
total product of the country.
The censure of Mrs. Cleveland by a tem
perance society in St. Louis for taking part
in an entertainment given by Mrs. Whitney
at which wine was served recalls the letter
written by the former lady last August in
which she says: "It rarely occurs that a
woman needs for herself the restraining in
fluences of a temperance pledge; but if by
placing ourselves under the obligations of
such an organization we can better help our
fathers, brothers, lovers and frier ds, I think
there should be no hesitation in the matter.
I know something of the Good Templars,
and that they do much good work. It is
quite certain you can do no harm by casting
your lot on the side of temperanoe, and yon
may do much good."
Robert Smalls, the negro who was counted
out in the Seventh congressional distriot of
South Carolina, has made the following ex
planation of the performance: The registra
tion law necessarily made the vote appear
light, but it was not the light vote that made
a return of a majority for Elliott. The result
was obtained by deliberately closing large
Republican polls. One was closed in Beau
fort county (Bluffton); one in Berkeley
county (Biggins Church); one in Richland
county (Gadsden), and 5 but of 11 in George
town county. The ballot boxes were stuffed
at many of the polls. In Beaufort county I
can trace over 150 votes of this character.
After all that could be done by them the re
turns still showed that I had a majority of
the rotes as returned by the managers, and
it must be remembered that every manager
was a Democrat and with the commissioners
appointed at the instance and upon the rec
ommendation of the various Democratic
county chairmen. It was found necessary to
count me out. Two polls in Beaufort coun
ty were thrown out 578 votes; two polls in
Berkeley county, 585 votes; one poll in
Orangeburg, 301 votes. It is not hard to see
how a Democratic majority was obtained.
COMIfl C Pi IC Al'ION S.
Tile President' ITIessace Why Be
Again Advises tne Suspension of
Stiver Colnase.
To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
The President informs Congress that he
sees no reason to change the views as to sil
ver coinage expressed in his previous annual
meseage.
It will be remembered that he there urged
that we were "constantly paying out gold for
silver to be added to the idle mass," and that
"prosperity" was then "hesitating" on ao
count of our silver coinage. He now assumes
that the excess of gold exports in the year
ending June 30, 1886, over those of the pre
vious year is significant of the evil of silver
coinage. He ignores the fact that we have
gained hundreds of millions of gold since we
began to coin silver dollars under the coie-
age act of 1878 and that that gain has been
largely the result of the excess of our im
ports of that metal over exports of the same.
He omits to say that since June 30th,18S6,the
excess of our gold imports over exports has
been many millions, and that larger importa
tions of gold still continue. He does not,
however, fail to state the amount of silver
coined under the coinage act of 1878 down to
the first day of December, 1886.
A comparison of treasury figures which
he does give us shows that we have in act
ual circulation about twenty-four millions
more money in silver and silver certificates
than we had. one year ago. How would the
business of the country be aitectea Dy tne
withdrawal Of this large amount from circu
lation now that "prosperity hesitates" less
(thanks to continued coinage) and the busi
ness demand for money increases?
Has the cold in the treasury been depleted
to pay for the twenty-four million dollars
worth of bullion bought within a yearl Let '
the statement for November from the treas
urer of the United States answer. Total
cold in the treasury November 30, 1886,
$354,450,854; outstanding gold certificates,
$90,520,6S3; net gold in the treasury $163,
930,231. This is many millions more gold
than was owned by the government a year
ago, and is about twice the amount of silver
owned by it.
Now that England's solicitude aoour ner
Indian empire and Indian exchanges has
hrnnerht about the aDDOintment of a royal
commission said to be favorably inclined to
ward bi-metallism. and that a larger silver
coinage in Furope seems certain, within a
few years at most, cannot the United States
safely continue to coin both gold and silver,
the product of her own mines, to meet the
reasonable monetary requirements of her
people! According to the Financial Chroni
cle, United States treasury and mint reports
seem to indicate that within the last four
months there have been issued from the treas
ury and nut iu actual circulation among the
people more silver dollars than have been
coined in that time, besides many millions of
silver certificates, and that the demand is
now largely in excess of the coinage. Shall
we substitute contraction? Specie Basis.

Ftrionon't Boy Freddie.
LF. A. Stearns in Tid bits.
I dined with Ferguson the other day. Fer
guson has a boy named Freddie. Freddie is
a bay about nine years of age) and is consid
ered very "bright." He is; he is positively
brilliant. But if he were my boy I think T
eould polish him still more. At all events I
should try.
Freddie came into the parlor soon attar my
arrival, his face was shining from a recent
viperous application of soap and water, and
his vellow hair plastered down to his head so
that every bump was plainly visible.
"You don't remember ur. jonnson, ao
yon!" said his father, taking the young cub
on his knee.
"Yep," was the reply.
"What's that!" said Ferguson reprovingly.
"Yep." repeated the boy, with a surprised
look.
Haven't I told you to always say yes
sir!"
" Yessir."
"That's better. So you remember Mr.
Johnson, eh! - It's nearly three years since
Freddie saw you last," added Ferguson,
turning to me. "It's astonishing what a
memory the boy has. What do you remem
ber about Mr. Johnson, Freddie? ' he inquir
ed. -
"I remember," rephed Freddie, ingenuous
ly, "that his hair was white at the roots and
black at the ends, and mar said she guessed
he hadn't dyed it this week."
This remark produced a feeling ot con
straint, so to speak, and Freddie was banish
ed from the parlor. I did not see mm again
until I went in to dinner.
Ferssson asked a blessing. As soon as he
had fimishe d Freddie burst out with:
"Par, what's the reason yon never do that
'cept when we have comp'y!"
Ferguson made some facetious remark, but
I saw a light in his eye which told me that
there was trouble ahead for Freddie, and I re-
loieed In secret.
"Mar," said Freddie presently, don't you
wish Aunt Man a was Here!"
"Why, Freddie!" said his mother, with' a
fond smile. -
" 'Cause you said the other day that you
wished sue an' Jir. oonnson could meet. 'cause
he'd be such a good catch for her, an' it was
about her last cnanoe, an' ' -"Frederickl"
shouted Ferguson.
"Why Freddie Ferguson!" exclaimed his
other.
The subject was quickly changed. I felt
that it would be wise to send Freddie away
from the table, but Ferguson dared fate, and
permitted mm to remain.
"Gimme another piece of cake!" said Fred'
die, presently.
"You have had three already," said his
motner, gently.
"I know I have an' I want another."
"But"
"I want another piece of cake!"
What can you possibly want of more
caxei"
"Wanter eat it, of course. What'd yer s'-
pose l wanted ter do with it put wheels on
it an' use it fer a wagon!"
It struck me that this would be a good
time to remove ireddie and inflict corporal
punishment upon him, but Mrs Ferguson
thought differently. She regarded Freddie's
remarks as laughable.
"It's astonishing what a fund of humor
that boy has got," she said, as Bhe gave him
the biggest piece of cake on the plate. He's
always making quaint remarks like that.
Par and I think he'll become a great humor
ist." "Mr. Johnson," said Freddie as we rose
from the table, "can I feel of your di'mun
pin!"
"What a singular request," said Mrs. Fer
guson. "But please let him do it if you
don't mind Mr. Johnson. He's got some
funnv idea in his head and we shall see what
it is."
We did. After rubbing the diamond sev
eral times with his forefinger (incidentally
coloring my immaculate shirt-front with cur
rant jelly), he said wonderingly:
"Why. it ain't sticky at all."
"No, Frddie,of course not." said Ferguson
smilingly.
''Why should it be sticky! Diamonds are
not sticky
"No, X s'pose not," said Freddie, "but 1
heard mar say that she thought it wasn't a
di'mnn at all only, paste, an' I knew that
paste "
5ut at this point Freddie was hustled out
of the room by his father and in a few mom
ents my heart was gladdened by the sound ot
dismal yells in the distance.
I saw no more of Freddie that evening. I
do not intend to dine at Ferguson's again at
present. ,
Society in Mexico.
City of Mexico Letter to the Boston Herald.
The habits of good society here are quite
the same, with a little more dash of aban
don, as anywhere in the world.
The writer in the Bivouac speaks of the
replacement of the lace veil by the "Ameri
can hat.'" Nobody here wears American
hats that is the ladies. They wear import
ed Paris hats entirely. The sevillana, or
modern small mantilla a most delightfully
graceful headdress which ought to be the
fashion in the States in summer, so univer
sally becoming is it to all women is not at
all displaced by the French hat. The Bevil
lana is entirely permissible in the forenoon
hours, and no lady wears a bonnet to church.
The church costume is a black silk or woolen
dress and a sevillana, xa& if you want to see
some beautiful Spanish types among the la
dies go to the cathedral or to the fashionable
Santa Brigida or profesa churches of a
morning where, among the hundreds of
kneeling worshippers, you will see faaes that
an American painter would give much to
transfer to canvas. The Mexican ladies go
to church daily in the morning hours, for
here worship is not restricted to one day in
the week, and the Mexican church is not a
combination of lecture room, reception halls
and church kitchen. It is a place in which
to worship God and not to make a display of
toilets and to cook oyster stews.
The liberty accorded the ladies, young and
old, nowadays is much more extended than
in olden times. Then young ladies appear
im on the street w ere invariably accompa
nied, if not by a parent, by an old woman
who served as duenna and kept a sharp eye
on the girls lest they should catch the glan
ces of the youug caballeros. It was then
the rule for the girls to walk with their
mouths hidden by their mantillas, which
they kept in place by one hand. This fash
ion of going with la boca tapada, or mouth
covered, still obtains among the more modest
young women of the lower classes, who car
ry their rebozos in such a manner as to look
lite Moorish women. In tact it is a Aloorisn
custom, coming down from the- times when
the Arabs ruled in Spain. It is considered
very well-bred and modest for women of the
lower class not to show their mouths to the
men, but, as I said, it is not a universal cus
tom even among lower-class people.
An old friend, who has lived here nearly
forty years, says that in his time, about
1849, there were only two Bhops in all tne
oity where one could buy ladies' French
goods silks, ribbons, bonnets, etc. There
were not then, as now, shops with great
plate glass fronts filled with foreign goods.
Now you may walk along the principal
streets and see in the great windows as ele
gant goods as in Boston or New York. Some
of the stocks of silks and ladies' goods car
ried are very large. There are two crockery
stores they are called "cristalerias" where
splendid stocks are to be seen, but the goods
are displayed mainly m upstairs apartments.
Lakes Churned Into Soda.
From the Portland Oregonian.
I had heard much of the famous me dical
lake, sixteen miles west of here, and so drove
out to see it among the clouds of dust, gusts
of wind and broiling sun alternately. The
trip out and back was pleasant, however, a
constant change of soenery and succession of
surprises.
We found there were three lakes instead of
one, all the same water, said to contain "life's
elixir," a cure for all human ailments. No
doubt there are valuable properties in the
water, as attested by the analysis and the
numerous testimony of those relieved by its
use.
We were prepared for a bath, but time and
inclination both forbid; time, because of the
inclination first to eat; inclination from the
presence of certain dead reptiles in the water
to be seen a tmng, as tne attenaauii earn,
"never before known."
I said reotiles: these were at the bottom
of the lake, which seemed half lizard, half
fisb, with the fins of a fish, the arms of a
lizard, the body of neither, with the fins
of the tail horizontal, instead of perpendic
ular as with a fish, a sort ot a mongrel, as
like a salamander. In fact, these must have
had peculiar tenacity of life to have lived in
these waters at all, charged with salts as like
lye, out of which near by they were making
soap. The tiny waves of the lake had lashed
the water into a foam, precisely in appear
ance as like a heavy soap suds, the frothy
suds piling up in some places a foot deep or
more.
