Here is fair and fresh instance of Che rrcsist-
lille virtue which resides in opprObrious nick
names-a power fatal alike to dogs and TO men.
To be sure, if we could catch the Montgomery
debater, and put him TO the question, VIC could

tionai statement Of what he means by a Rad

the word. with many proiane a1ixes and sulfXes;
and so we have heard q rare East Indian fowl
of nautical training, who, upon dry land, and IN
the security of his cage, called upon the ships
crew, with many Oaths, to hurry up from the
forccaste and instantly to reef the tOpsas.
The Montgomery man belongs 10 the "Polly
want-crackcr' school of politicians. He cannot
talk much, but he can say "Radical' with re-
markable distinctness. Yet he speaks quite ac-
cidcntally. He might call the Republicans
thieves, knavcs, liars, rascals, lunatics or
fools; he has been Taught, however, to
say Radical" by his Northern patrons; and so
he says Radical with malicious satisfaction,
and will continue to say il until he is instructed
in the use of some newer and more effective
cpithct. At present, ne is content to use the
word, with such furnishings as his fine knowl-
edge of the proianc language may suggest and
supply. Why shouldn't heg Here at The North
are men, who are or who should be vastly better
informed than this Montgomery champion, and
all they can say, by the way of holding up their
faction, is "Radical! Radical! Radical" 1t
means no more here than it docs in Alabama.
1t is simply what politicians consider to be "a
good cry" But in the selection of cries there
is room for judicioHs choice. Radical" is a fair
enough slogan while it lasts; but, in consequence
of the general distribution of brains it cannot
last long. 81 don't care will prove more serv-
iccablc, and we recommend its adoption by the

ETSIN ESS PRONPECTS.

The facts that railroad trains are running
light and that trade is said to be dull are re-
gardcd by many with gloomy fOrcbOdings. We
constlue them differently. Many of those who
used to crowd the ears are now at home ut
work, where they should be, instead of gaddng
about on borrowed money and making trade
brisk by buying goods that they will never pay
for. 1t is u great pity that a good many more
of our city and village population had not been
started out upon the pTailies and into the woods,
there TO hcw ont farms which would very soon
be adding largely to the annual product, there
fore to the wealth and trade, Of the cOuntry-of
course, swelling the business Of railroads
There has been much senseless complaint of
the decline of ship-buding-a complaint by no
means confined to this country. Bqt more
ships are not built, simply because more ships
are not needed. Seven years ago, we grew
Five Millions OF bales q, 100000 tuns) of cleaned
Cotton last year, we grew Two Millions of
bales only; while our product of Sugar and
Rice has fallen OFF in at least equal proportion.
Consequently, we want fewer ships than We
did hence, we build fewer, as we ought. When
we have more to ship, we shall build the requi-
site vessels and we ought not to do it before.

we began that year with more than One Million
men in arms, and at least Two Millions en-
plOyed, in one way or another, in playing the
destructive game of War. We mustered out
the Rebels in April and May, and the Unionists
along through the Summer and Fall; but few
of them did much to swell the harvest of
that year, which was shortened at the South by
the lack of implements and draft-aDimals. The
anarchy existing in the relations of Labor TO
Capital further contributed to stint the harvest
in 1885, we worked better; but this proved a
very uDfuitful season. The important Wheat
crop was very general failure; we think not
more than five bushels were harvested to one
sOwn; whereas, there are usually ten to twelve.
The positive loss to the country from the fail
uro OF this single product cannot have been
less than s100,0O0,OO0. Indian Corn failed pretty
generally throughout the South, and was badly
shortened by frost in the North West; and, as
% full crop would be about One thousand Mil
lion bushels, We estimate the loss at Two
Hundred Million bushels, worth, where it
should have grown, at least S100,000,0O0 more
Cotton was cut short by foods drouth, the
army worm, &C., about One Million bales,

realized abroad partially compensated for the
deficient quantity. Yet it is clear that on the

TvE CITY PROPERTY

The Commissioners OF the Sinking Fund Yes.
terday adopted resolutions looking 10 sle, by
the city, of al its interest in the wharve,
slips. and piers, which are standing disgrace
to our city in their present condition. Moro
than 100000 was due the city, at the begin
ming of the present year. for unpaid rents Of
these wbarves: the lcssecs Withholding tho
amount due in consequence of the failure OF
the city to keep them in proper repair this
failure, in turn, being accounted for by tho
fact that the act of the Legislature, appro-
prating funds for the purposes of such repair,
did not receive the signature of the Governor.
Hero is financial dead lock, the lessees re-
fusiDg to pay rent unless the city shall make
repairs, for which it has no funds. Meanwhile.
the piers are rotting away, and our river
fronts are our shame, instead of our
pride The quickest and surcst way out
of this difficulty is that which il advo-
Gated by the Controller viz: sale OF
all city property not in actual use for carrying
on the government of the city. The wisdom
of this course was apparent at the sale Of real
estate a few days since. Property then sold
for an aggregate amount of SSj6,OOO which
had not been earning for the city more than two
per cent of that sum. Other lots of real estate
will ere long he sold by the Controller it is
hoped, with a like satisfactory result.
The Controller has given especial attention
to the city markets, and has increased the rent
derived from these institutions from 100 to 700
per cent. But, however much this rent may
be increased it viii be vastly better for tho
city to go out of the market business altoge-
Their, and trust 20 the rivalry of individual en-
tcrprise to secure creditable results in this par
tcular as well as that of the wharves and
nicrS.

whole, The country is at least $2Co,OCO 600 poorer
to-day than it would have been with fair
average crops last year, 10 say nothing OF
those of 1865.
Yet in the face of this aching void" We
went ON buying silks and satns, laccs and
eewgavs, az though we were in thc full tide Of
general prosperity: our impoltations for 1866
having exceeded in value those of any former
year Is it o wonder tlat our trade is slack
and our railroad receipts light in the early
part OF 1907 How could they be otherwise
when our agricultural districts have littlc to
sell. and our grain growing regions are short

"T his sickness is not unto death" Quite
the contrary. The great body Of ON PEG

arc mining Iron, Copper, Lead, Gold, Silver,
&c, &c In other words, we are producing
wealth instead of swapping it about aud are
thus laying the basis of n genuine prosperity,
q bencGcent commercial activity. True. the
Spring is generally cold and backward but it
has thus far been wet. as our most important
Grass crop requires Chat il should be. Wheat
also is generally looking well, having been
largely SOWf l1Sb I'LL AHN WIN Nht b''h
warjness OF Spring. the wetncss of the ground,
has probably restricted the area sown TO Spring
Wheat, Oats. Barley. &c, there is yet ample
time for Corn, provided the requisite labor can
be obtained to plant and till it, Grass implies
Butter, Cheese, and Beef Corn makes Pork,
and serves to increase the supply OF Butter and
Beef; and there is labor enough to he had by
those who have the means OF paying for 1t,
and immigrants arriving at our ports at the rate
of over one thousand per day.
We see nothing. therefore, that should incite
dependency or justify gloomy appIchcnsons.
There are rotten banks that must explode !;
there are still too many would-be clerks brok-
ers, and other non producers, who have yet to
be driven to productive labor; there are far
too many goods coming in, too few furnaces
in blast, too few spndlcs whirlmg and shuttles
tIying: but we shall try to have the tariff 50
amended as to better this next Winter. On the
whole, we Judge that next Fall may witness
substantial improvement in business, and
decided recovery in the receipts of our rail
roads.

Advices from 0rzaba to the Sd of May state
that the City of Mexico was surrounded by
10000 Liberals. and that the bOmbardment of
the city had begun in earnest. The garrison
numbered 5000, under command OF Mar
ouez. who had announced his intention to
resist to the last. Altogether the strength
of the lmperialist army is believed
to be about 10000. 1t is also stated
that orders have been issued that Macmillan,
MARQUEE, and Miramon should be shot if cap
tured. This statement thus far rests solely
upon the authority of correspondent of a
| Newt Orleans paper, and we may therefore still
| hope that it will not be confirmed. The Gov
| eminent of Juarez will have received by this
time the remOnsTanceS of the Govern
ment of the United States against the
barbarOus treatment of the captured In
perialists, and we still indulge the hope
that the cOunsels of humanity will not be
spuIned. A persistence in the law of bloody
retaliation would be condemned by the whole
civilized world, and to run counter To the
unanimous convictions of the civilized world
has more than once proved fatal to govern
ments much stronger than that of the recon
stlucted Mexican Republic is likely to be for
some time to come.
