There is popular opinion that the people
own tho highways Of the city. They pay their
taxes to keep them in repair, and one would
suppose that they are entitled to free transit in
pursuance Of their business or pleasure in the
streets. But it appears that few individuals
have the privilege Of providing the community
off the sidewalks by unsightly piles Of old
bricks, binding them with lime dust, hustling
them aside by squadrons Of hod carriers and
otherwise usurping the right Of way. Cannot
we build houses, as they do in other cities,
without piling up these distractions? In Paris or
London no such nuisance would be tolerated.
Is 1t not the duty Of the police to insist that
they shall be removed2 The law forbids
placing distractions in the streets, and proba-
bly, the policeman reports their existence when
they come within his beat, but with his report
at the station house the matter ends. No pro-
ceedings are taken to enforce the law. The
nuisance is permitted to remain. How is this 2
There must be power invested somewhere to
keep the streets open for the ordinary traffic Of
the public. There are streets in the city to-day
so blocked by the d66ris Of buildings ut either
side as to render the passage Of vehicles i'm
possible, and ''no thoroughfare" has become
the order of the day. Now the question is,
who owns the streets2

Perhaps It is safe to add VI" WIN Nc. ns'
persisted the last hope Of the Boul~u''
rid still remains quiet-a fact which provo
above all others the intensity Of feeling which
has set in against the Queen. As we have
said before, there is not the shadow OF
chance for republic. The Junta which We
knew yesterday had been formed has already
denounced" the idea. Prim and Serrano were
snxiously expected in the capital, and much
win depend on what they may suggest. Mean
while we learn that the Queen Is in France
and is to be the guest Of Napoleon. 1t Is
very strange to find Napoleon acting 90 the
protector Of the monarch who was the last
and the most unwilling to recognize him as
the ruler Of France. Time does, indeed,
work wonders az well as secure 70
venge. The prospect b as dark as
ever. One thing only ID clearly manifest-that
Napoleon has chance Of giving expression to
his favorite idea about the Iberian peninsula
The opportunity seems to have come at last.
If Spain will not declare herself In favor Of .
republic the next best thing for Spain to do Is
to invite the King of Portugal to take charge Of
the entire peninsula. As Prince Napoleon Is
brother-in-law of the Portuguese monarch the
presumption is that the entire Bonaparte
interest will tend in this direction. As the
house of Braganza has good record there is
no substantial reason why Spain, who seeks
her proper place among the nations Of
Europe, which wishes peace and prosperity,
should object. That this would be very de-
sirable arrangement no one can doubt, although
the mind of England turns towards the selec-
ton Of the Duke Of Aosta, second son Of Victor
Emanuel, as an available candidate for the
vacant throne. If Napoleon can effect either
it viii give him almost absolute control Of the
South Of Europe, or what is perhaps more to
his purpose, Of the Latin race. But the
chances are many, and speculation as yet is
full Of hazard.

The Republican Party and Its Mississ-
Genorat Grant.

General Grant.
"No further extension Of slavery" WAS the
grand issue upon which the republican party
came into power, and the first definite express
sion Of this grand idea was given by the Buffalo
Free Soil Convention OF Is4s, upon which Mar
tin Van Buren, and Charles Francis Adams
were placed in the field ~ the Presidential
ticket Of the free soil party. The object Of
Van Buren,, which was achieved, was the de-
feat OF Cass in requital for the pro-slavery
juggling Of the regular democratic conventions
Of 1874 and 1913, by which Little Van" was
cut out Of what he considered his vested right,
in another chance for second term IN the regu-
lar democratic line Of succession. Thus the
Southern slsveholding oligsrchy, in engineer
ing his rejection In "a, and again In AS, at
Baltimore, made of Van Buren, a revengeful
Samson, who, with his arms about its main
supporting pillars, pulled their temple Of Dsgon
down about their ears.
Down to the year Is4s Northern opposition
to Southern slavery was too violent, impracti
cable and revolutionary in its demands 10 make
much neadway. In denouncing the Union with
the ''slsve power as "a league with death
and the constitution as "a covenant with hell,

Of slavery, the original abolition party Of Gar

nishing ell the capital required by Calhoun
and his disciples for the founding Of secession
and Southern confederacy party in the South.
But Martin Van Buren,, in ls4s, upon his practi-

the danger involved in the careless transpor-

accidents occasioned by nitro glyccrine very
properly led not long ago to the Introduction
In Congress Of an act 10 regulate its use and
transportation. II il certainly high time that
legislation should ne enforced TO prevent the
recurrence Of such incidents. In due time,
doubtless, II will become possible to make
nitro glycerine as valuable and M safe an
agent as many other equally "good servants
and bad masters.' On the Pacific Railroad II
has contributed very efficiently towards has
