Perhaps the most profitable and permanently

Dishonesty in the management OF corporate
bodies is becoming lamentably common among

can better invest his earnings than in making

Our advices by the Panama mail report q
outbreak of another serious revolution in
Bolivia. In the former Republic, it seems, there
is even reason to fear the overthrow of the
Government, as the communication of the
President with the capital was cut of, and the
insurgents had gained successes in the North.
as well as in the South. Thus the Presidents
of both the Republics-Prado and Melgarejo-
are reaping the fruit of their own example !;
for both at one time headed successful insur-
rectiOns against the lawful Governments.
Nevertheless, the present Instructions cannot
be too much deplored Since their establish
ment in power, both Prado and Megarejo have
proved energetic and able statsemen while the
leaders of the instructions do not enjoy, so far
as we know, an equally favorable record. We
hope, in the interests of American Republican
ism, that the Instructions in both Republics
may yet be quelled. The South American Re-
publics only need the reign of law and order
TO make rapid strides on the road to progress.
Every new mail brings us the most cheering
proofs of material improvements in the condition
of all the Republics, and of a successful devel-
Opment of their immense resources. From THE
TRIBUNE correspondent in Lima we learn that
there is strong reason to believe that the newly
discovered gold field in Peru will prove to be
the richest in the world, and will soon attract a
large immigration.

Some weeks ago it was announced that Peru
had proposed to Chill, Bolivia, and Ecuador to
establish a confederation, and that the project
was favorably received in all the Republics.
We now learn that Mexico intends to JOIN the
alliance of the Republics of South America,
and that the five Republics of Central Amer
lea intend to reGstablish their former cOnfed-
Grafton. All these are important indications
that the peoples of South America begin to be-
come conscious of their common nationality
and of their common interests. Mexico and
Chill are fully as well prepared to become
parts of one great nation as Massachusetts and
Texas, as Naples and Sardinia, as Prussia and
Bavaria The consolidation of all the parts OF
Spanish America into one nation cannot be
effected at once, but it seems to be their des-
tiny, and would certainly be of great advan-
tage to all. United these Republics would
cease to be insignificant States, but would at
once become one of the great nations of the
world. A confederation embracing Mexico,
Peru, Chill, Bolivia, and Ecuador would num-
Der over 100000 inhabitants; one embracing
the whole of Spanish America, over 2j,OOOOOO.

The Mayor of Brooklyn proposes that all
municipal affairs which concern both Brooklyn
and New-York shall be settled by joint COM
mittees of lthe Common Councils of the two
cities. The idea is an attractive one, though
we are not saDguine as TO expect much
practical good from the labors of any joint
commission in which our Common Council has
a sensible influence. 1t points, however, toward
a consolidation of the metropolis, which we
believe must be effected sooner or later.
Brooklyn and its outlying districts are essen
tally parts of New-York. Staten Island is
merely one of our Summer gardens. The
lower towns of Westchester are nothing but
the outskirts Of our business quarters. We
have already found the necessity of uniting
them all under a single police supervision, and
bringing them within the operation of our
sanitary and fire departments. The time can
not be far distant when the union which has
been thus begun will be carried out to its
logical fullness, and New-YoIk City will en-
brace in name, as it now does in reality, the
whole population from Yonkers to the Lower

4 SUGGESTION TO FARMERS.

In all our cities and villages there is now n
surplus of human labor. Many have been UNI
willingly idle for weeks and are at their wits
end for the necessaries Of life. Men, women,
boys grls-many of whom would have required
high wages few months since-sOme of whom
would not leave the pavements and were very
particular as to what they would do and how
they must fare-would now accept almost any
offer that would insure them subsistence. OF
course, we are speaking of mere hands," or
"help," not of skilled, effective artisans; but
you may hire almost any kind of workers far
cheaper and more readily than you could six
or eight months ago
Hence, we urge farmers to improve their op-
portunity, and supply themselves mt once with
ample help for the season that will soon
Open Club together, ten or twelve of you,
and send one of your number to this or some
other city to employ all the labor you will
want this year. Hire more than you expect to
need; for some will pretty certainly prove
worthless and either clear out or have to be
turned off. Make n fair, clear, written con
tract with each person have it witnessed and
executed with due formalities; take your
"help" home and set them to work. Most Of
them will of course prove awkward, ignorant,
inefficient: now is the time to drill them for
service, before your work shall crowd and your
duties absorb all your time. lie is very poor
farmer who cannot find fit employment in
February and March for all the help" he will
more urgently need in May, June and July.
1t will be too late to drill rude strangers to
comprehend and obey your orders when your
self and all hands must he busv nlovino
seeding filling, moving, grading, binding, &c.
almost necessarily from daylight till dark. He
is not wise general who leads his troops
into a great battle before organizing and drill
ing them.
Let lis resolve on busy season. OF late
labor has been dear, aud largely absorbed in

The Albany Argus has the littleness to pub
lish statement relative to the colored troops,
showing that IA deserted where one was
killed, 30 died where one was killed, and
20 were mustered out for disability where
one was killed in battle. AS there is no dis
grace implied in1the proportion which the
number wounded or disabled bears to the
number killed, we make no other comment
upon it than to say that it is about the same
as that which prevailed among tie white
troops. AS to the desertiOns,fwe present a
single suggestion. The whole number of colored
troops enlisted during the war was 17s,915. IL
the number of desertiOns were, as stated by
The Argus, 1887. the ratio of assertions to the
whole number would be one in II. The
Report of the Secretary of War shows ratio
of desertions to enlistments during the past
year. when none but whites were enlisted, OF
one to three.

Several resolutions and petitions about pro-

derbilt; whether a Maryland at Grand Haven,
Mich. is desirable whether cur troops at Sitka

exception of a single Senate amendment, which

made.

The report of the Committee appointed by
the German Emigration Society to visit the
cholera ship Lebnitz shows that the vessel
was badly ventilated, that water was scarce,
the provisions totally unpalatable, and that the
Captain was unfit for his position The report
plainly says that the malady was not cholera,
but a fusion of catarrh of the stomach and
typhus fever, superinduced by inhuman treat
ment. The case is certainly worthy of strict
investigation by the Government authorities,
and whoever is responsible deserves punish
ment.

mechanical and manufacturing operations.
Now that it is abundant and cheaper, let us
all resolve that agriculture shall come IN Tor
it's full share. Food is scarce and high-priced;
LET MS make it more abundant after the next
harvest. He must be a poor stick who cannot
grow grain at profit at the prices now rui-
ing; and the empty granaries of a nation are
not readily filled. Men and women can be
hired for the ensuing year far cheaper now
than next May, June, or July; let the golden
moment be fully improved. At the offices OF
the Commissioners of Emigration here, at the
Freedman's Bureau in Washington and other
Southern cities, you can find stout, willing
hands for field or kitchen, eager to be hired,
and cheap as any man of conscience can desire.
Hire your Summers help forthwith, and don't
have TO be running about looking for it in the
busy season. If you wait till every farmer
wants help, you will have to pay far higher,
with less chance to pick such as you want;
and the fault will be wholly your own.

The representative of TIE TRIBUNE in the
City Of Mexico has procured copies of some
interesting papers brought to light out of the
archives of the late Empire. They are given
in full on another page. Most Of them, it will
be seen, refer to the peculiar relations of two
New York papers, The Ner- IOrk Herald and
The Freemdn's journal, with the Empire. One
John Fulton informed the Imperial Consul in
New York that he had made an arrangement
with The Herald according TO which two col
umns was to be given gratuitousy every fort

TO gain friends for the Emperor at causes

thing has been done with the editor of such
"a paper as The Herald, which all the world
"knows refuses topublish any works for which it
is not well remunerated" The Herald, however
subsequently brought out number of sharp
articles against the Empire, which the Consul
explains by saying that "it can easily be de-
"duced that he desires to obtain some import
can't concession from the Empire, if in return

ROW WE WOULD MEND THE TINES.

gOV I'VE UOULD MEND THE TINES
I. Let the Government resume Specie Pay
ment at once, so as to make all our Paper
Currency equal in value to the coin 1t would
fain represent. Then greenbacks and bank
notes would be receivable for duties on I'M
ports and payable on all descriptions OF Public
Debt, so that there would be no law-created
demand for specie, and no reason for prefer
ring it to paper. Then our Currency would be
swelled by the amount of our Specie, which IS
not now money, but merchandise. Then green
backs would be preferable to coin III our
mining regions, because less cumbrous, more
easily carried, and less exposed to the depre-
dations of robbers. We should thus have not
less but more money than at present, unless
we should ourselves reduce the amount by
running the Treasury for coin
ii. Prices would now find their natural
level, whatever they may be, and would
no longer fluctuate with the fluctuatlng
premium on con Whatever labor or produce
was worth would be just what it would com
mand And now the capitalist would be no
longer deferred from building, draining, or
otherwise giving employment to labor III the
creation of wealth, by the expectation that
prices of materials, labor, etc, would soon be
reduced by the appreciation OF our Currency.
The manufacturer would say, We are now
clown to hard-pan. If buy stock and make
goods. it is not probable that the fall of stock
land product in price will subject me to loss, as
1T did last year, So everybody would soon be
somehow set to work doubt and uncertainty
being at an end.
ILL., If the gold gamblers and k-jobbers
should undertake to break the Government by
running the Treasury for gold, we would clothe
the Secretary of the Treasury with power to
borrow. on temporary loan whatever sums
might be needed, and to pay such interest as
he must to obtain whatever sums might be re-
oured. In other words we would give the gam
blers fair notice that all the credit of the Repub-
lie stood Just behind oil her cash in resolution
to maintain National solvcncy at all hazards.
1t would not be necessary actually to borrow
if this spirit were evinced and such resources
placed at the Secretary's disposal. Nobody but
importers would have any real demand for
gold; and we are producing it faster than they
could export It,
". RctrcDch every expenditure to the last
degree; reduce or abolish the most Onerous
taxes but do not stop altogether the payment
of principal on the Public Debt because we
want to make the bonds scarcer in order to
reduce the rate of interest S)lemnly affirm the
National obligation and purpose to pay those
bonds as the takers were responsibly assured
they would be paid when they were issued,
and then bend every effort toward funding
every interest bearing obligation of the Gov
eminent in a new bond drawing but and, if
possible, but per cent interest thus reducing
the burden of our Debt by many Millions per
annum.
These are the outlines. Industry and fru-
galty must do the rest.
