HARVARD FOREVER !
From the n. Y. World.

From the ". \. World
While yet the Oxford-Harvard regatta is
unrowed, that sonOrous wisdom with which
the gifted British journalist has even the
faculty of making printed page reverberate
comes out strong upon us by cable and by
mail. For instance, the Pal Mall Gazette,
which is of opinion that the method of train
ing adopted by the Harvard crew is similar
to the barbarous but long exploded system of
English amateur training in the dark ages,
hopes in the most condescending and disin-
terested way, that ''the Americans will be
cautioned in time" And we have the news
by cable that ''the comments of the English
press are generally unfayorable upon the Har-
ward style of rowing with a subsequent
admission that 'they were considered to
have behaved better the second day they
were out Nor does the Briton restrain a
highly well-bred propensity to question the
Veracity of our poor newspapers and lndlte
saving clause in his countrymen's behalf.
'"Ihey (the Harvard crew. were put down
generally, says the London HGrdLd, las nearer
eleven stone than twelve; but the weighing of
them yesterday told a different tale altogether,
for they all pulled over the scale at twelve
stone and one of them nearly thirteen, thus
giving them an average of nearly twelve
stone and a half"-which startling in
crease" the HeraId is at pains to admonish
the crew, there will be plenty of time to train
away before the regatta.

tween the Missouri river and Sacramento
with the exception of silver, will not be of
that character which will find an export market
in San Francisco. But in Chicago the case is
different. There is not an article which is
grown, produced, or manufactured in any
part of the habitable globe that cannot find a
market in Chicago and the reason is that the
trade of this city is not of a merely local char
acter, but includes the supply of third
the people of the country, embracing in that
number men of every nationality, and engaged
in every trade and industry known to civilized
man.

as it will be very soon, with a producing
population. its wants will be great, and its
productions still greater The immediate
line of the road will. of course, be first set

ago there was no evidence of the presence of
men, there are now villages and hamlets and
growing towns, not alone on the line of the

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS
From the " y Times.

THE AND HIS DETRACTORS
From the " y. Times.
We have no particular call to take the blum
ders of our Democratic politicians and Jour
nails to heart. At the same time we believe
in parties; we think the country is apt to be
better governed when party organization is
thorough, and pretty sure to be ill-governed
when there is no effective opposition. 1t is
from this point of view that we regret the
line OF attack upon the President into which
the opposition party has fallen In the alb
sence OF any substantial grounds for contro-
versy, 1t seems to be regarded as the fit and
proper thing to dog the Presidents footsteps
wherever he goes, to belittle his employments
to give him the appearance of being habitu-
ally surrounded and engossed with triling
or equivocal company, with consulting his
personal ease to the neglect of his public
duties, and in general to be man who really
has no comprehension of the great interests
committed to his charge.
Now, as we have already remarked we ac-
cept no responsibility for the blunders of the
gentlemen who preside in the councils of the
Democratic party; at the same time it is but
neighborly for us to notify them that in our
opinion, they are making grievous blunder
in the course they are now pursuing towards
our Chief Magistrate.
1t is never worth while for an individual
or a party to make war until they have cause
of war and have counted the cost of making
it. Now in this case the Democracy have no
grievances They are trying to belittle and
degrade the President by publishing stories
and gossip from which every gentleman, and
! q President more than any other person, is
entitled to exemption. And what will come
of it? The public, the country, will not

THE SPANISH GUNBOATS.

from the ". I. Herald
The course taken by the Government in re-
gard to the Spanish gunboats indicates plainly
a spirit of fairness towards Spain that ought
to soften the asperity with which her agents
here might naturally receive the announce
ment of the purpose of the administration.
Spain and Peru are quite equal before us and
have the same claims in regard to our melt
trality Spain was herself the first to appeal
to our laws to prevent the sailing of ships.
Her war with Peru, though in Il practical
state of allegiance made her especially careful
in regard to the armed forces of that nation,
and when certain vessels were bought here
for the Peruvian Government the protest of
the Spanish authorities prevented their
sailing and they finally did not sail, except
on a sort of parol. our Government exact
ing a guarantee that they should not be
used against the power of Spain. Exactly
what our Government then did, on the appli-
cation of Spain herself, it now does for
Peru. Although nominally the Spanish vessels
are seized, they are, in fact, only under the
surveillance of the law. Thus those charged,
with their construction are left unembarassed
and the building and equipment of the ships
go on. So that when the Spanish Govern
ment has given sufficient evidence that these
vessels are not intended for use against any
power with which we are Mt peace, it will he
found that the action of our Government has
not caused days loss of time. Our hope for
the interest of Cuba, however, is that in the
meantime the administration, putting itself in
full sympathy with the national sentiment on
the subject, will see the propriety of recog-
nizing the rights of the Cubans, and then if
Spain gives guarantees that compel the with
drawal of the protest entered by Peru, the
Cuban Government may take the place OF
Peru and enter another protest. Spain would
then only have to lament the inconvenience
to nation of having on its hands more than
one war at time.

The recent deplorable failure of the Roya

thirty years, aud attained membership O
twenty-three thousand, admonishes us to iooI

There have been placed in the custody of these
companies funds to the amount of 800, OOO.

with future premiums, to meet liabilities as
they mature to the amount of over one thou
sand millions The Royal Albert did not fail
from any error in the science of life insurance.
Enough money had been paid in, but when
wanted it was not there. These trust funds

whether the securities represented to be on
hand really were SO. 1t is not enough that
persons acting as trustees for others should be
honest; they should SO organize their bust

ment to the owners of the property
This can only be done by the Intervention of
some disinterested third party powerful
enough to exercise the proper supervision and
control. The State of New York has in its
registry Law, lately amended and perfected,
fully secured this desired end Under this
law several companies deposit in the Insur-

sorts OF secueity sufficient to cover the whole
amount of the necessary reserve, according to
calculations made by the State as provided for
in the law, and, as the Superintendent of the
Department says in his last report to the Leg
isature: $50 far as the question of security is
concerned, policy duly registered in this De-

PRINCE NAPOLEoNs SrEECH.--The New
York papers contain full report of Prince Ma
poleon's remarkable speech in the French Sem
ave wnen the reforms proposed in the Senatus
Co'ssnttstn were under consideration. Wheth-
or the Prince is a cunning demagogue who per-
ceives the coming of the democratic storm that
is to wreck the second empire, or whether he
Is the mouthpiece of the Emperor in the latter,s
desire to make such concessions to liberalism
a. will avert the tempest, cannot now be known.
dlslanguage was very singular for a Bonaparte,
enough his democratic tendencies, sincere or
otherwise, have long been known.
The mission of the Empire, he said, is to act
an unison with the great popular and demo-
cratic aspiration, and one of the steps towards
this result was the passage of the document be-
fore them. Although it did not quite meet
with his appreciation, still it was step forward.
lie then proceeded to point out the faults
which he had observed in the report of the
committee. The Senate could be stripped of
ats constituent power, and the Ministers made
responsible to both Chambers; the Emueror
should not be the presiding officer; the Senate
should have exclusive power to discuss the
constitution; the number of deputies should
De increased, and the mayors should be elected
oy the municipal councils. These changes he
deemed only questions of time; for, if they
were not made now, another remodelling would
have to take place. After the passage of the
Senatus Consultuns, he was in favor of the sup
preston of what remains of the law on general
safety, the abolition of article rs of the Consti-
tuition of the year VIII; bill on the admin
istration of the City of Paris; one on the rela-
ton of Church and State; on primary, gratui-
tous and obligatory instructions; on the liberty
OF superior teaching; on decentralization; on
the emancipation of the citizen; on the re-
a quo OF expenditure, and on foreign policy.
Ihen will come the real struggle, and we shall
see all ancient abuses and superanuated prac.
tices vanish"
