from the centres Of the streets and ena-
banking 1t at the side is matter left
for the consideration OF generations yes
to be. What little law we have on this
subject must lie far beneath "truth" in the
proverbial "well," for the exercise Of those
statutes relating to the preservation Of clean
illness in the streets depends almost entirely on
the interest that may be taken in the matter
by individual policemen, and is commonly
postponed for a more convenient season. We're
it locu.ts instead Of snow and mud some
excuse might be found for the paralyzatiou
that exists on all sides, from the authorities
Of the city to the governors Of houses but a.
we know exactly when the snow is coming,
and can form tolerable estimate Of both
how long it will continue and how heavily it
will fall, there is no excuse for our streets pre-
senting the appearance they do during the
greater part Of the winter.

THE CANADIAN PAPAL ZoUAvEs.--The con.
trast between the intense excitement mani.
tested in Montreal over the departure of the
Canadian Papal Zonaves for Rome and their
comparatively unobserved arrival In New
York Is striking and suggestive. Strange, in
deed, 1t may seem TO us, amid the rush and
whirl Of modern activities, that even hum
dred volunteers can be recruited in Canada Al
this critical period In her history, when she Ii
herself in condition TO need the strong arms
Of oil her sons, for industry II not also for de-
fence. But we can readily account for 1t il
we remember how strongly The descendants
OF the early settlers OF Ia NouueRe France adj
here 10 tho old religious convictions which
they have inherited, and how completely their
minds are controlled by the influence Of the
successors Of those Jealous Catholic missona-
ries who accompanied their French ancestors
to Canada. Moreover, the large Irish element,
as we'll as tho French element, In the Canadian
population has doubtless contributed lis fil
quota to the gallant band who. ars hasten.
ing to offer their services to tho Holy Father.
We wish them oil pleasant excursion to
Rome.

A very talented modern dramatist, seeking
a good idea as well as title for semi-sensa
tional drama, hit upon The Streets Of New
York" as embodyng the one and the other
The result Of his labor showed US that, by a
series OF untoward circumstances, the most
estimable young persons may be driven to
starvation and the use OF charcoal even in this
fonrishing city, OF which we are all so justly
proud. We are little sceptical about the
correctness Of this dramatist's deductions, but
do not purpose now to argue the point with
him beyond rcmarking that the title "On the
Streets OF New York" would have been more
appropriate, as that little proposition begets
distinction as great as 1t Is important, and
takes the mind ut once from things inanimate
to people very much the reverse. For those
on the streets of New York we are never tired
Of legislating, but for the unhappy streets
themselves II would seem that tho powers
that be" have no thought or anxiety. Whether
they be impossible by reason Of their Icy
covering, or the still more dreadful watcry
sheet that follows with natural regularity,
they excite to the same degree the wonder Of
the stranger and the indignation OF the citizen.
A heavy fall OF snow and an Invasion of
locusts may be classed together as infections
OF parallel horror. The lstless apathy that
breads to combat with tho snow could hardly
be deeper in the presence Of one Of Egypts
plaques, ard the idea Of vanquishing the
former is apparently as far from our minds as
the possibility Of destroying the latter could
have been from the thoughts Of tho ancient
Egyptians. Sweeping q crossing here and
there and clearing the sidewalks is o feat only
dreamed Of by those possessed OF shovels and
the most resolute wills, while tho possibility
or even the advantage Of removing the snow

people, James famed into fresh life the smoul-
dering elements Of rebellion; and the year
1858, with James an exile and . pauper, with
stranger on the throne of England, witnessed
the termination of the struggle which COM
menced when Charles the First ascended the
throne, and the third and perhaps grandest
triumph Of liberalism In England.
1t has never since been possible-it can
never again be possiOle-for an English mon
arch to set himself, on constitutional questions.
in opposition to the will of the nation. Much
however, as the revolution Of 1858 did for
England and for English liberty, it still lett the
edihce-to use O modern expression-un6n
ished. 1t was revolution conducted too
exclusively by and in the interests Of the
mobiles. 1t introduced new elements which
proved injurious In the last degree to the
English workingman, among which we may
mention certain financial theories brought
over by William from Holland. The financial
regulations of England from that time till the
present have had but one tendency, and that
has been to make the rich richer and the poor
poorer. The landholders have more and more
monopoliz,d the land and the bankers have
more and more monopolized the gold. The
Reform bill of 1882 partially, but only par
tally, cured this evil. 1t was q relief, but it
was only temporary relief The new Reform
bill which is just passing into law
is of a much moro sweeping kind, and it will
certainly work q more eifectual cure Much,
however, as it viii do, it is not to be consid-
cred final measure. The struggle will 60
on with ever-incre ,sin1 force. Disraeli, STAN
ley, Gladstone, Bright and the rest OF them,
will be found too slow and will be
compelled to give place to other and
more daring minds Liberalism will continue
to be in the ascendant; the people will 60 on
ad ling victory to victory, and some other
adventurous son Of Israel may have the honor
Of crownirg the popular edifice, or rather OF
bringing to close the fourth great English
revolution.
