A SliaKy Swindle. "American citizens" who are always getting into trouble abroad or who are owning claims in for eign countries which the courts of those countries will not recognize, are generally citizens only in a technical sense, and sometimes the evidence is very cloudy. In one of his messages Grant drew attention to this source of trouble, and suggested that there should be modifications of the naturaliza tion Jaws which would prevent most of it. The Landreau claim in Peru, is a notable illustration of the abuse to which these laws may be put, The original claimant js a Frenchman. Under a standing offer of a share, he located guano claims on some fifty islands, tak ing chances of there being a de posit of guano on at least one of them. Landnau then managed to get naturalization papers, and gave an interest in his claim to va rious politicians in the United States. They recently secured the appointment of Hurlburt, brother to the editor of the New York World, as minister to pro tect this claim' and now they are putting up a job to secure the armed intervention of the United States so as to give marketable and negotiable value to to their stock. In this age of gas, glass, glare and dazzle, of jobs and cheek and impudent demand, this little game shines magnificently: first forming a syndicate to grab the resources of a foreign country, and then endeavoring to get the mili tary power of our government to back them up. Can presumption go further than this? Poetic Prose. Pbofessor Yotjmans possesses the faculty of writing in graceful phrase the most rigidly scientific truth. In the following he com bines the flowers of rhetoric with the diction of philosophic research: "Over the places that receive the bodies of the dead, monuments are erected as if to mark the last un changeable abode of the departed. Yet, even in the crudest material istic sense, our final home is not in the earth; nature soon rifles the grave and disperses its contents into the atmosphere above. Not the charnel house upon which at tention has been hitherto so in tensely fixed by poets and preach ers, but the upper realm of rain bows and light, of ever shifting clouds, ot the golden glories of sunrise and sunset, the world of everlasting beauty in the reful gence of the day and the splendors of the night this i.s, in reality, the tomb of man. Even in the lowest sense we need to look be yond the grave; and death would wear a very different aspect if we could escape from the vulgar and repulsive associations of mere burial, which we owe to graveyard paltry, food-for-worm3 litera ture, and the emphatic parade of interment. The atmosphere is a thousand times more the theater of life than is the garth beneath us. AH liviiiij things are born from it. The entire vegetable kingdom has been condensed out of its invisible elements, and in decay and dissolution, except a little ashy residue, it is all again restored to the atmosphere. Tho animal world follows the same law. All sentient creatures are con structed out of the viewless medi um above, and back to its serene depths they are all, at length, re turned. The processes are slow, but. they are complete and in exorable; art cannot arrest them. Thongh the body be embalmed for preservation, the course of Na ture is only transiently checked, and tfie dissevered'atoms soon find their way back to their atmospheric home." It is reason for shame to know that there are American citizens so low, so degraded as to actually crowd forward to shake hands with the murderer of Garfield. We look with admiration upoa the vigilance committee of Seattle. It will soon be twenty years since the action in Hampton Roads and now tho bit of history comes that the defeat of the rebel ram Mcrrimac, according to a letter of Commodore Maury of the confed erate navy, is not to be credited altogether to the Monitor. When the Mcrrimac ran into and sank tho Cumberland he alleges that she broke her iron ram, causing a leak of six inches an hour. It was partly owing to this injury that the Merrimac returned to Norfolk, so that it seems the old Cumber land is entitled to a share in her discomfiture. Yet it is so inter woven in our history that the gal lant Worden was the successful combatant of the Merrimac that this last will hardly alter any ac cepted version of facts. Some of the political fossils who have for years been retired on ac count of various shady and shaky transactions, are again making their appearance in public life. In Washington and on the Pacific coast the number of such is in creasing, and it looks now as if most of the men who used to run things and who ran their party to destruction are to be entrusted with control. It might not be a bad plan if the President would allow the publication of the names of parties recommending applicants for office so that the responsibility of bad selections might be shared with the Executive. The idea of Sargent in the Cabinet! There are" some members of Congress who think that it would be a good idea to lighten the bur den of taxation, as the revenue is in excess of actual needs. It is proposed to abolish the stamp tax, which is one of the most vexatious wo -have. All internal revenue taxes, except those upon whisky and tobacco ought to be abolished, and that seems to be the policy of the administration. There is one member who wants to restore the income tax, a somewhat singular position for any man to takp, if he expects ever to run for office, for no tax ever invented was more odious and unpopular. The special use and value of foreign missions is as rewards for ambitious politicians who would be troublesome if they were not provided for by this species of honorable exile. It is reported that Secretary Lincoln is looked upon with distrust by the adminis adminis trateon: he might be available as a presidential candidate if he should make a good record in his pres ent office and be kept prominently before the public. He is found to be a man of high ability, possessed in a marked degree of the ele ments of popularity, and the fam ily name wouldJiave considerable influence in the matter. Among th& many great engin ering projects in contemplation is one which will close the northerly outlet of the valley of the Mac kenzie river at the line of 68 deg. north, and store up the water of 1,260,000 square miles; to this is intended to add the water of other large areas, and thus form a lake 2,000 miles long, and with an aver age width of 200 miles. To those whose stock of worries was running- low and who need some fresh scarers it will be of in terest to know that the electric system of lighting has developed two dangers; first, the increased likelihood of lire; second, the fact that the handling of a wire not in sulated and through wh ch the full force of the circuit is passing, re sults in death. "The commerce of the Columbia has" endured an outrageous game of greed long enough." Oregonian. We are glad to see our Portland contemporary take such a pro nounced stand in favor of a free river. It will no doubt favor the completion of the locks as heartily as it does the improvement of the bar. When completed, the San Fran cisco sea-wall will .have cost $13, 000,000 according" to the present estimates. There will be a broad thoroughfare, encircling the city, and there is now a desperate effort to secure a franchise over it which Trill be virtually excluiire. NEW TO-DAY.
